Based on the combination of the three-stage Data Envelopment Analysis( DEA) model and cluster analysis,this study examined the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2008 to 2018 to measure its agricultural production efficiency and to analyze its temporal and spatial characteristics. Studies showed that exogenous environmental factors significantly( P < 5%) impacted agricultural production efficiency in the Yangtze River Economic Zone,and there were temporal and spatial differences. These included:(1) after excluding environmental factors,the overall agricultural production efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Zone had improved. Sichuan Province and Jiangsu Province were at the forefront of efficiency,whereas the agricultural production efficiency of Shanghai had declined obviously.(2) The agricultural production efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Belt varied year by year,with fluctuating development. The middle reaches of the Yangtze River had advanced agricultural production efficiency more than the upstream and downstream regions,and the agricultural production efficiency of the individual provinces did not match their economic and social development.(3) Increases in labor,land,irrigation,and other input factors increased agriculture production efficiency,and there was no correlation between fiscal investment,per capita gross domestic product( GDP) and agricultural production efficiency,while the disaster-affected area had a significantly negative impact on agricultural production efficiency.展开更多

The applied frequency of the electromagnetic field （EMF） during the AI alloys continuous casting was changing from 30 Hz to 50 Hz, while some castings were obtained without the EMF influence. The mechanical characterization of continuous casted AI alloys EN AW 2007 and En AW 2024 was done on testing machine Zwick/Roell Z 100. The microstructure of as-cast samples was examined, as well. When the frequency decreases （from 50 Hz to 30 Hz）, the grain size decreases as well, what is noticeable through the finer microstructure and its uniformity throughout the cross-section. These results have shown that low frequency electromagnetic field significantly influenced the microstructure and therefore the mechanical properties of as cast ingots. Thus, through improved castings quality, operation time and energy savings, the production efficiency was increased.展开更多

A coupled PHREEQC-MATLAB simulation approach is proposed to investigate the dynamic changes in rock porosity,gas storage capacity,formation water salinity,and reservoir temperature driven by biogeochemical interaction...A coupled PHREEQC-MATLAB simulation approach is proposed to investigate the dynamic changes in rock porosity,gas storage capacity,formation water salinity,and reservoir temperature driven by biogeochemical interactions during cyclic underground bio-methanation(UBM)of CO_(2)and H_(2),and to quantitatively examine how the evolution of these parameters influences CH_(4)production efficiency.The results indicate that during the cyclic UBM of CO_(2)-H_(2),the formation water undergoes a dynamic acid-base alternation,leading to periodic mineral dissolution and precipitation with limited impact on rock porosity.Across different mineral systems,the maximum CH_(4)production rate remains consistently around 3.6×10^(−3)mol/(L·d)in each cycle.With an increasing number of cycles,under high initial salinity conditions,the metabolic water produced by methanogens can significantly reduce the formation water salinity,gradually enhancing the CH_(4)production rate to levels comparable with those under low initial salinity.Additionally,the increased volume of produced water reduces the gas storage capacity of the reservoir.This reduction becomes more pronounced at higher initial CO_(2)-H_(2)pressures,accompanied by a more significant increase in CH_(4)production rate increment.Furthermore,the heat generated by methanogen metabolism leads to an increase in reservoir temperature,with the extent of temperature rise significantly influenced by heat loss.If the heat loss is neglected,the reservoir temperature can increase by up to 17.1℃after five cycles(10 years).When the reservoir has a higher initial temperature,the elevated thermal conditions may reduce CH_(4)production efficiency.展开更多

Fie...Water and nitrogen（N） are generally two of the most important factors in determining the crop productivity. Proper water and N managements are prerequisites for agriculture sustainable development in arid areas. Field experiments were conducted to study the responses of water productivity for crop yield（WP_（Y-ET）） and final biomass（WP_（B-ET）） of film-mulched hybrid maize seed production to different irrigation and N treatments in the Hexi Corridor, Northwest China during April to September in 2013 and also during April to September in 2014. Three irrigation levels（70%–65%, 60%–55%, and 50%–45% of the field capacity） combined with three N rates（500, 400, and 300 kg N/hm^2） were tested in 2013. The N treatments were adjusted to 500, 300, and 100 kg N/hm^2 in 2014. Results showed that the responses of WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） to different irrigation amounts were different. WP_（Y-ET） was significantly reduced by lowering irrigation amounts while WP_（B-ET） stayed relatively insensitive to irrigation amounts. However, WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） behaved consistently when subjected to different N treatments. There was a slight effect of reducing N input from 500 to 300 kg/hm^2 on the WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET）, however, when reducing N input to 100 kg/hm^2, the values of WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） were significantly reduced. Water is the primary factor and N is the secondary factor in determining both yield（Y） and final biomass（B）. Partial factor productivity from applied N（PFP_N） was the maximum under the higher irrigation level and in lower N rate（100–300 kg N/hm^2） in both years（2013 and 2014）. Lowering the irrigation amount significantly reduced evapotranspiration（ET）, but ET did not vary with different N rates（100–500 kg N/hm^2）. Both Y and B had robust linear relationships with ET, but the correlation between B and ET（R^2=0.8588） was much better than that between Y and ET（R^2=0.6062）. When ET increased, WP_（Y-ET） linearly increased and WP_（B-ET） decreased. Taking the indices of Y, B, WP_（Y-ET）, WP_（B-ET） and PFP_N into account, a higher irrigation level（70%–65% of the field capacity） and a lower N rate（100–300 kg N/hm^2） are recommended to be a proper irrigation and N application strategy for plastic film-mulched hybrid maize seed production in arid Northwest China.展开更多

文摘A coupled PHREEQC-MATLAB simulation approach is proposed to investigate the dynamic changes in rock porosity,gas storage capacity,formation water salinity,and reservoir temperature driven by biogeochemical interactions during cyclic underground bio-methanation(UBM)of CO_(2)and H_(2),and to quantitatively examine how the evolution of these parameters influences CH_(4)production efficiency.The results indicate that during the cyclic UBM of CO_(2)-H_(2),the formation water undergoes a dynamic acid-base alternation,leading to periodic mineral dissolution and precipitation with limited impact on rock porosity.Across different mineral systems,the maximum CH_(4)production rate remains consistently around 3.6×10^(−3)mol/(L·d)in each cycle.With an increasing number of cycles,under high initial salinity conditions,the metabolic water produced by methanogens can significantly reduce the formation water salinity,gradually enhancing the CH_(4)production rate to levels comparable with those under low initial salinity.Additionally,the increased volume of produced water reduces the gas storage capacity of the reservoir.This reduction becomes more pronounced at higher initial CO_(2)-H_(2)pressures,accompanied by a more significant increase in CH_(4)production rate increment.Furthermore,the heat generated by methanogen metabolism leads to an increase in reservoir temperature,with the extent of temperature rise significantly influenced by heat loss.If the heat loss is neglected,the reservoir temperature can increase by up to 17.1℃after five cycles(10 years).When the reservoir has a higher initial temperature,the elevated thermal conditions may reduce CH_(4)production efficiency.

文摘The electrocatalytic water-splitting process is widely acknowledged as the most sustainable and environmentally friendly technology for hydrogen(H2)production.However,its energy efficiency is significantly constrained by the kinetically slow oxygen evolution reaction(OER)at the anode,which accounts for about 90%of the electrical energy consumption in the water-splitting process.A new strategy is urgently needed to reduce its energy consumption.In recent years,electrochemical oxidation of small molecules has been considered for replacement of OER for efficient H2 production,due to its benign operational conditions,low theoretical thermodynamic potential,high conversion efficiency and selectivity,and environmental sustainability.Hybrid electrolysis systems,by integrating cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction with anodic oxidation of small molecules,have been introduced,which can generate high-purity H2 and produce value-added products or pollutant degradation.In this review,we highlight the recent advancements and significant milestones achieved in hybrid water electrolysis systems.The focus is on non-noble metal electrocatalysts,reaction mechanisms,and the construction of electrolyzers.Additionally,we present the prevailing challenges and future perspectives pertinent to the evolution of this burgeoning technology.

文摘Sensitivity encoding(SENSE)is a parallel magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)reconstruction model by utilizing the sensitivity information of receiver coils to achieve image reconstruction.The existing SENSE-based reconstruction algorithms usually used nonadaptive sparsifying transforms,resulting in a limited reconstruction accuracy.Therefore,we proposed a new model for accurate parallel MRI reconstruction by combining the L0 norm regularization term based on the efficient sum of outer products dictionary learning(SOUPDIL)with the SENSE model,called SOUPDIL-SENSE.The SOUPDIL-SENSE model is mainly solved by utilizing the variable splitting and alternating direction method of multipliers techniques.The experimental results on four human datasets show that the proposed algorithm effectively promotes the image sparsity,eliminates the noise and artifacts of the reconstructed images,and improves the reconstruction accuracy.

文摘Water and nitrogen（N） are generally two of the most important factors in determining the crop productivity. Proper water and N managements are prerequisites for agriculture sustainable development in arid areas. Field experiments were conducted to study the responses of water productivity for crop yield（WP_（Y-ET）） and final biomass（WP_（B-ET）） of film-mulched hybrid maize seed production to different irrigation and N treatments in the Hexi Corridor, Northwest China during April to September in 2013 and also during April to September in 2014. Three irrigation levels（70%–65%, 60%–55%, and 50%–45% of the field capacity） combined with three N rates（500, 400, and 300 kg N/hm^2） were tested in 2013. The N treatments were adjusted to 500, 300, and 100 kg N/hm^2 in 2014. Results showed that the responses of WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） to different irrigation amounts were different. WP_（Y-ET） was significantly reduced by lowering irrigation amounts while WP_（B-ET） stayed relatively insensitive to irrigation amounts. However, WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） behaved consistently when subjected to different N treatments. There was a slight effect of reducing N input from 500 to 300 kg/hm^2 on the WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET）, however, when reducing N input to 100 kg/hm^2, the values of WP_（Y-ET） and WP_（B-ET） were significantly reduced. Water is the primary factor and N is the secondary factor in determining both yield（Y） and final biomass（B）. Partial factor productivity from applied N（PFP_N） was the maximum under the higher irrigation level and in lower N rate（100–300 kg N/hm^2） in both years（2013 and 2014）. Lowering the irrigation amount significantly reduced evapotranspiration（ET）, but ET did not vary with different N rates（100–500 kg N/hm^2）. Both Y and B had robust linear relationships with ET, but the correlation between B and ET（R^2=0.8588） was much better than that between Y and ET（R^2=0.6062）. When ET increased, WP_（Y-ET） linearly increased and WP_（B-ET） decreased. Taking the indices of Y, B, WP_（Y-ET）, WP_（B-ET） and PFP_N into account, a higher irrigation level（70%–65% of the field capacity） and a lower N rate（100–300 kg N/hm^2） are recommended to be a proper irrigation and N application strategy for plastic film-mulched hybrid maize seed production in arid Northwest China.

文摘This study examines the technical efficiency(TE) differences among typical cropping systems of smallholder farmers in the purple-soiled hilly region of southwestern China.Household-,plot-,and crop-level data and community surveys were conducted to explore TE levels and determinants of typical cropping systems by using a translog stochastic frontier production function.Results indicate significant difference in TE and its determinants among cropping systems.The mean TEs of the rice cropping system(R),the rice-rape cropping system(RR),the rice-rape-potato cropping system(RRP),and the oil cropping system(O) are0.86,0.90,0.84,and 0.85,respectively,which are over 1.17 times higher than those of the maize-sweet potato-other crop cropping system(MSO) and the maize-sweet potato-wheat cropping system(MSW) at0.78 and 0.69,respectively.Moreover,Technical inefficiency(TIE) of different cropping systems is significantly affected by characteristics of the household as well as plot.However,the impact of land quality,mechanical cultivation conditions,crop structure,farming system,farm radius,household type,cultivated land area per capita,and annual household income per capitalon TIE vary by cropping system.Additionally,output elasticity of land,labor,and capital,as a group,is greater than the one of agricultural machinery and irrigation.Finally,when household-owned effective agricultural labor is at full farming capacity,optimal plot sizes for the R,RR,RRP,MSO,MSW,and 0 cropping systems are 1.12hm^2,0.35 hm^2,0.25 hm^2,2.82 hm^2,1.87 hm^2,and 1.17hm^2,respectively.
