In this work, the recent spatiotemporal distribution and trend of the mass concentration of two of the critical sulfur pollutants, SO2 and SO4, in addition to the aerosol optical properties (AOD) were analyzed over the region of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) from satellite and Modern Era-Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis data. The SO2 and SO4 data used in these analyses are obtained from (MERRA-2) with a resolution of 0.5° × 0.625° throughout a period of 10 years (2005-2015). On the other hand, the temporal trend and spatial distribution of AOD were identified from four different satellite data. 1) moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 3 AOD data at 550 nm wavelengths from Collection 6 algorithm (combined dark target and deep blue algorithms) are used for 10 years temporal analysis (2006-2015). 2) Multi-angle imaging spectroradiometer (MISR) with 0.5 deg spatial resolution for the same 10 years (2006-2015). 3) Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWIFS) with 0.5 deg for the period (2005-2010). 4) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) AOD at 500 nm wavelength with resolution 1 degree. This study presents more resent 10 years of Spatiotemporal of SO2, SO4 and AOD over MENA domain.展开更多

In terms of climatology, we find that CRA-40 portrays a stronger and colder polar vortex in the middle and lower stratosphere than ERA-5, but a weaker and warmer one than MERRA-2. However, disagreement among the three reanalyses is confined mainly to the period before1999, and is largely reduced after that time. On the interannual timescale, portrayals of the intensity and area of the 10-hPa polar vortex are quite consistent among the three reanalyses, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9 between each pair of reanalyses. In addition, the central dates of most sudden stratospheric deceleration(SSD) events at 10 hPa in the three reanalyses differ by less than one day, indicating that CRA-40 is also highly consistent with the other two reanalysis datasets regarding daily evolution. Our analyses suggest that CRA-40 performs comparably to ERA-5 and MERRA-2 in characterizing winter circulation in the Antarctic middle and lower stratosphere.展开更多

The authors aimed to evaluate the ability of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 （PI-RADS v2） to classify men with PCa, clinically significant PCa （CSPCa）, or no PCa, especially among those with serum total prostate-specific antigen （tPSA） levels in the ＂gray zone＂ （4-10 ng ml-1）. A total of 308 patients （355 lesions） were enrolled in this study. Diagnostic efficiency was determined. Univariate and multivariate analyses, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and decision curve analysis were performed to determine and compare the predictors of PCa and CSPCa. The results suggested that PI-RADS v2, tPSA, and prostate-specific antigen density （PSAD） were independent predictors of PCa and CSPCa. A PI-RADS v2 score L≥4 provided high negative predictive values （91.39% for PCa and 95.69% for CSPCa）. A model of PI-RADS combined with PSA and PSAD helped to define a high-risk group （PI-RADS score = 5 and PSAD L≥0 15 ng ml-1 cm-3, with tPSA in the gray zone, or PI-RADS score L≥4 with high tPSA level） with a detection rate of 96.1% for PCa and 93.0% for CSPCa while a low-risk group with a detection rate of 6.1% for PCa and 2.2% for CSPCa. It was concluded that the PI-RADS v2 could be used as a reliable and independent predictor of PCa and CSPCa. The combination of PI-RADS v2 score with PSA and PSAD could be helpful in the prediction and diagnosis of PCa and CSPCa and, thus, may help in preventing unnecessary invasive procedures.展开更多

文摘黑碳(BC)作为可吸入颗粒物PM_(2.5)的重要组成部分,由于其特殊的理化性质,对大气环境和人类健康构成严重威胁。目前,我国尚未建立完善的大气黑碳浓度地面观测网络和数据共享体系,区域尺度黑碳浓度产品的精度验证和适用性评价比较有限。本文从已发表文献中提取我国126个站点的1616个BC月监测数据,时间跨度为2000−2020年,对MERRA-2(Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications,Version 2)和TAP(Tracking Air Pollution in China)的BC数据进行全面的精度验证和适用性评价。结果表明:①MERRA-2与TAP均低估了我国大气BC浓度,其中MERRA-2低估程度为8.13%,TAP低估程度为19.51%。TAP的大气BC浓度与地面站点监测数据的相关性〔R=0.62,模拟实测两倍因子(FAC2)=0.69〕高于MERRA-2(R=0.46,FAC2=0.58),MERRA-2的20年平均大气BC浓度(3.61μg/m^(3))更接近地面站点平均大气BC浓度(3.97μg/m^(3))。②MERRA-2和TAP的大气BC浓度在我国不同地区的精度存在较大差别,MERRA-2在我国华北和西南地区的精度优于TAP。两个数据集在西南地区都有较高的精度(R为0.68~0.84,FAC2为0.71~0.79),在华北地区精度均较低(R为0.41~0.48,FAC2为0.64~0.77)。③MERRA-2与TAP大气BC浓度在全国大部分地区呈显著正相关,其中,二者在四川省大气BC浓度差异(0.0045μg/m^(3))最小,在北京市差异(2.11μg/m^(3))最大。研究显示,MERRA-2有更长的时间跨度,而TAP更能准确表现大气BC浓度的空间分布,且二者在不同地区表现出较大差异。

文摘The increase in CO_(2)injectivity and shifting of CO_(2)-absorbing layers in multilayered geological CO_(2)sequestration(GCS)reservoirs in Ordos,China indicate significantpermeability variations in certain layers.To capture these system changes,a numerical model incorporating all 21 aquifers and internal aquitards was developed.The monitored pressure was well matched through multiphase and thermalhydraulic-mechanical(THM)coupling numerical simulations by introducing permeability variations.The results revealed that the permeability in the second layer increased on approximately day 13 due to the abrupt pressure buildup and temperature decrease.Even such a low rate of CO_(2)(2.8 kg/s)injected into the low permeability system initiated some fractures and the permeability in the second layer around the wellbore increased by 722 times.The second critical system change occurred on approximately day 386.As demonstrated in the numerical simulation,the substantial injection of cold CO_(2)induced strong thermal stress,leading to rock contraction and the initiation of several cracks.The permeability of the firstlayer around the wellbore unexpectedly increased by 4 orders of magnitude.Since no additional pressure could drive the CO_(2)into the remaining 17 layers,the total storage capability of the multilayered system was reduced.A whole picture of the system variation is fully presented and the underlying mechanisms are analyzed.It is believed that the phenomenon of thermal-hydraulic fracturing observed in this fieldand the simulation procedures will benefitother fluidinjection and production works in various geotechnical settings.

文摘Prostate cancer （PCa） is one of the most common cancers among men globally. The authors aimed to evaluate the ability of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 （PI-RADS v2） to classify men with PCa, clinically significant PCa （CSPCa）, or no PCa, especially among those with serum total prostate-specific antigen （tPSA） levels in the ＂gray zone＂ （4-10 ng ml-1）. A total of 308 patients （355 lesions） were enrolled in this study. Diagnostic efficiency was determined. Univariate and multivariate analyses, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and decision curve analysis were performed to determine and compare the predictors of PCa and CSPCa. The results suggested that PI-RADS v2, tPSA, and prostate-specific antigen density （PSAD） were independent predictors of PCa and CSPCa. A PI-RADS v2 score L≥4 provided high negative predictive values （91.39% for PCa and 95.69% for CSPCa）. A model of PI-RADS combined with PSA and PSAD helped to define a high-risk group （PI-RADS score = 5 and PSAD L≥0 15 ng ml-1 cm-3, with tPSA in the gray zone, or PI-RADS score L≥4 with high tPSA level） with a detection rate of 96.1% for PCa and 93.0% for CSPCa while a low-risk group with a detection rate of 6.1% for PCa and 2.2% for CSPCa. It was concluded that the PI-RADS v2 could be used as a reliable and independent predictor of PCa and CSPCa. The combination of PI-RADS v2 score with PSA and PSAD could be helpful in the prediction and diagnosis of PCa and CSPCa and, thus, may help in preventing unnecessary invasive procedures.
