They are composed of pebble bed load with d>20 mm. Based upon geological and geomorphological investigations, the authors detect that the pebble bed load at the Gezhouba Re3ervoir comes from two sources,namely, the region mainly with limestone and The region mainly with pyrolith, andtheir converging area is within the Gezhouba Project. percentages of the pebble bedload are calculated. The calculated result stows that, 65% of pebble bed load comesfrom the region mainly with limestone, and 93 % of the rapids of creek mouth--bar isdistributed in the region mainly with limestone. Considering the water level fluctuations, the rapids of creek mouth--bar can be divided into 3 types i. e. flood waterones, medium water ones and low water ones. Due to the rise of water level afterbuilding the Gezhouba Reservoir, the navigable channels in the area of rapids ofcreek mouth--bar within varied back water region are improved, taking up 50% of all12 rapids. But the rapids of creek mouth--bar in the tail region where the water levelrises less than 1 m, the conditions of navigable channels are little improved and evendeterioration, because of the continuous supply of pebble bed load. Therefore, thoserapids must be regulated before the completion of the Three Gorges Project.展开更多

Mature CNS neurons are refractory to axon regeneration for two major reasons, one, because the ac- tivity of cell-intrinsic mechanisms that drive axon growth during development is low- and often further suppressed after an injury - and two, because certain molecules that are part of mature extracellular matrix and myelin act as strong inhibitors of axon growth. Genetic removal of growth inhibitory molecules can increase axon sprouting, but is not sufficient to enable long-range axon growth. Since axon growth is robust during early developmental stages, it has long been hypothesized that mature injured neurons may be ＂reprogrammed＂ to the earlier growth state by re-activation of the intracellular growth signaling cascades that drive axon elongation in the developing fetus.展开更多

In this paper, through theoretical calculations verified the rubber dam has characteristics of raising water level, increasing the depth of the shoals, reducing the flow velocity, reducing water surface slope and improving the conditions of navigation. Therefore, this study has a wide range of practical value and application prospects in the project展开更多

文摘The evolution of the S'precipitate in Al−Cu−Mg alloy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF−STEM),molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,and other analytical techniques.The precipitation behavior during different aging stages of the supersaturated solid solution formed after rapid cold punching was focused,which induces rapid dissolution of precipitates.The findings reveal that the precipitation sequence is significantly influenced by aging temperature.At higher aging temperatures,which mitigate lattice distortion in the matrix,the precipitation sequence follows the conventional path.Conversely,at lower aging temperatures,where lattice distortion persists,the sequence deviates,suppressing the formation of Guinier−Preston−Bagaryatsky(GPB)zones.MD simulations confirm that the variations in solute atom diffusion rates at different aging temperatures lead to the differences in the S'phase precipitation sequence.
文摘Based on inspection data,the authors analyze and summarize the main types and distribution characteristics of tunnel structural defects.These defects are classified into three types:surface defects,internal defects,and defects behind the structure.To address the need for rapid detection of different defect types,the current state of rapid detection technologies and equipment,both domestically and internationally,is systematically reviewed.The research reveals that surface defect detection technologies and equipment have developed rapidly in recent years.Notably,the integration of machine vision and laser scanning technologies have significantly improved detection efficiency and accuracy,achieving crack detection precision of up to 0.1 mm.However,the non-contact rapid detection of internal and behind-the-structure defects remains constrained by hardware limitations,with traditional detection remaining dominant.Nevertheless,phased array radar,ultrasonic,and acoustic vibration detection technologies have become research hotspots in recent years,offering promising directions for detecting these challenging defect types.Additionally,the application of multisensor fusion technology in rapid detection equipment has further enhanced detection capabilities.Devices such as cameras,3D laser scanners,infrared thermal imagers,and radar demonstrate significant advantages in rapid detection.Future research in tunnel inspection should prioritize breakthroughs in rapid detection technologies for internal and behind-the-structure defects.Efforts should also focus on developing multifunctional integrated detection vehicles that can simultaneously inspect both surface and internal structures.Furthermore,progress in fully automated,intelligent systems with precise defect identification and real-time reporting will be essential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of tunnel inspection.

文摘Precise coseismic displacements in earthquake/tsunamic early warning are necessary to characterize earthquakes in real time in order to enable decision-makers to issue alerts for public safety.Real-time global navigation satellite systems(GNSSs)have been a valuable tool in monitoring seismic motions,allowing permanent displacement computation to be unambiguously achieved.As a valuable tool presented to the seismic commu nity,the GSeisRT software developed by Wuhan University(China)can realize multi-GNSS precise point positioning with ambiguity resolution(PPP-AR)and achieve centimeterlevel to sub-centimeter-level precision in real time.While the stable maintenance of a global precise point positioning(PPP)service is challenging,this software is capable of estimating satellite clocks and phase biases in real time using a regional GNSS network.This capability makes GSeisRT especially suitable for proprietary GNSS networks and,more importantly,the highest possible positio ning precision and reliability can be obtained.According to real-time results from the Network of the Americas,the mean root mean square(RMS)errors of kinematic PPP-AR over a 24 h span are as low as 1.2,1.3,and 3.0 cm in the east,north,and up components,respectively.Within the few minutes that span a typical seismic event,a horizontal displacement precision of 4 mm can be achieved.The positioning precision of the GSeisRT regional PPP/PPP-AR is 30%-40%higher than that of the global PPP/PPP-AR.Since 2019,GSeisRT has successfully recorded the static,dynamic,and peak ground displacements for the 2020Oaxaca,Mexico moment magnitude(Mw)7.4 event;the 2020 Lone Pine,California Mw 5.8 event;and the 2021 Qinghai,China Mw 7.3 event in real time.The resulting immediate magnitude estimates have an error of around 0.1 only.The GSeisRT software is open to the scientific community and has been applied by the China Earthquake Ne tworks Center,the EarthScope Consortium of the United States,the National Seismological Center of Chile,Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited(GNS Science Te PūAo)of New Zealand,and the Geospatial Information Agency of Indonesia.

文摘Rice(Oryza sativa L.)plays a pivotal role in global food security,yet its breeding is constrained by its long generation time and seasonality.To enhance rice breeding efficiency and meet future food demands,we have developed a vertical hydroponic breeding system integrated with light-emitting diodes(LEDs)light-ing in a closed plant factory(PF),which significantly accelerates rice growth and generation advance-ment.The results show that indica rice can be harvested as early as after 63 days of cultivation,a 50%reduction compared with field cultivation,enabling the annual harvesting of 5-6 generations within the PF.A hyperspectral imaging(HSI)system and attenuated total reflectance infrared(ATR-IR)spec-troscopy were further employed to characterize the chemical composition of the PF-and field-cultivated rice.Metabolomics analysis with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)revealed that,com-pared with the field-cultivated rice,the PF-cultivated rice exhibited an up-regulation of total phenolic acids along with 68 non-volatile and 19 volatile metabolites,such as isovitexin,succinic acid,and methylillicinone F.Overall,this study reveals the unique metabolic profile of PF-cultivated rice and high-lights the potential of PFs to accelerate the breeding of crops such as rice,offering an innovative agricul-tural strategy to support food security in the face of global population growth and climate change.
