Our findings indicate that the pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations should contain some new physical information, and are not a simple result of the pseudorapidity distribution of final particles. The AMPT results with and without hadronic scattering are compared. It is found that hadron scattering can only increase the short-range correlations to some level, but is not responsible for the different correlation shapes for different energies. Further study shows that the different pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations are mainly due to partonic evolution and the following hadronization scheme.展开更多

At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.展开更多

文摘When two layers of graphene are stacked with a twist angle of approximately 1.1°,strong interlayer coupling gives rise to a pair of flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene(TBG),resulting in pronounced electron–electron interactions.At half filling of the flat bands,TBG exhibits correlated insulating states.Here,we investigate the electrical transport properties of heterostructures composed of TBG and the antiferromagnetic insulator chromium oxychloride(CrOCl),and propose a strategy to modulate the correlated insulating states in TBG.During the transition from a conventional phase to a strong interfacial coupling phase,kink-like features are observed in the charge neutrality point(CNP),correlated insulating state,and band insulating state.Under a perpendicular magnetic field,the system exhibits broadened quantum Hall plateaus in the strong interfacial coupling regime.Electrons localized in the CrOCl layer screen the bottom gate,rendering the carrier density in TBG less sensitive to variations in the bottom gate voltage.These phenomena are well captured by a charge-transfer model between TBG and CrOCl.Our results provide insights into the control of electronic correlations and topological states in graphene moirésystems via interfacial charge coupling.

文摘The octupole correlations of the K^(π)=5/2^(+)ground state and the rotational spectrum built on it in^(229)Th are studied using the microscopic relativistic density functional theory on a three-dimensional lattice space and the reflection-asymmetric triaxial particle rotor model.It is found that^(229)Th has a ground state with static axial octupole and quadrupole deformations.The occurrence of octupole correlations,driven by the octupole deformation,is analyzed through the evolution of single-particle levels around the Fermi surface.The experimental energy spectrum and the electromagnetic transition probabilities,including B(E2)and B(M1),are reasonably well reproduced.
文摘Ten physical and environmental variables collected from an on-the-go soil sensor at two field sites (MF3E and MF11S) in Mississippi, USA, were analyzed to assess soil variability and the interrelationships among the measurements. At MF3E, moderate variability was observed in apparent electrical conductivity shallow (ECas), slope, and ECa ratio measurements, with coefficients of variation ranging from 20% to 27%. In contrast, MF11S exhibited higher variability, particularly in ECas and ECad (deep) measurements, which exceeded 30% in their coefficient of variation values, indicating significant differences in soil composition and moisture content. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between the near-infrared-to-red ratio and red reflectance (r = 0.897***) soil values at MF3E. MF11S demonstrated a strong negative correlation between ECas and ECad readings with the x-coordinate (r ***). Scatter plots and fitted models illustrated the complexity of relationships, with many showing nonlinear trends. These findings emphasize the need for continuous monitoring and advanced modeling to understand the dynamic nature of soil properties and their implications for agricultural practices. Future research should explore the underlying mechanisms driving variability in the soil characteristics to enhance soil management strategies at the study sites.

文摘The synchrotron radiation beamline BL17B of the National Facility for Protein Science(NFPS)in Shanghai,situated at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF),was originally designed for diffraction experiments and accommodates techniques including single-crystal diffraction,powder diffraction,and grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering(GIWAXS)to enable the characterization of long-range ordered atomic structures.The academic community associated with BL17B engages in research domains encompassing biology,environment,energy,and materials,and a pronounced demand for characterizing short-range ordered structures exists.To address these requirements,BL17B established an advanced X-ray absorption fine structure(XAFS)experimental platform that enabled it to address a wide range of systems,from crystalline to amorphous and from long-range order to short-range order.The XAFS platform allows simultaneous XAFS data acquisition for both the transmission and fluorescence modes within an energy range of 5-23 keV,encompassing the K-edges of titanium to ruthenium and the L3-edges of cesium to bismuth.The platform exemplifies high levels of automation achieved through automated sample assessment and data collection based on large-capacity sample wheels that facilitate remote sample loading.When integrated with a highly integrated control system that simplifies experimental preparation and data collection,the XAFS platform significantly bolsters experimental efficiency and enhances user experience.Notably,the platform boasts an impressively low extended X-ray absorption fine structure(EXAFS)detection limit of 0.04 wt%for dilute copper phthalocyanine(CuPc)samples and an even more remarkable X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)detection threshold of 0.01 wt%.These results demonstrate the methodology?s reliability in low-concentration sample analysis,confirming its capability to generate high-quality XAFS data.

文摘Since antiquity,humans have been involved in designing materials through alloying strategies to meet the ever-growing technological demands.In 2004,this endeavor witnessed a significant breakthrough with the discovery of high-entropy alloys(HEAs)comprising multi-principal elements.Owing to the four“core-effects”,these alloys exhibit exceptional properties including better structural stability,high strength and ductility,improved fatigue/fracture toughness,high corrosion and oxidation resistance,superconductiv-ity,magnetic properties,and good thermal properties.Different synthesis routes have been designed and used to meet the properties of interest for particular applications with varying dimensions.How-ever,HEAs are providing new opportunities and challenges for computational modelling of the complex structure-property correlations and in predictions of phase stability necessary for optimum performance of the alloy.Several attempts have been made to understand these alloys by empirical and computa-tional models,and data-driven approaches to accelerate the materials discovery with a desired set of properties.The present review discusses advances and inferences from simulations and models spanning multiple length and time scales explaining a comprehensive set of structure-properties relations.Addi-tionally,the role of machine learning approaches is also reviewed,underscoring the transformative role of computational modelling in unravelling the multifaceted properties and applications of HEAs,and the scope for future efforts in this direction.
文摘BACKGROUND Resilience is an individual’s ability and psychological rebound capacity to adapt well after experiencing adversity,trauma,etc.Patients with strong resilience can face illnesses actively.AIM To determine the association of resilience with coping styles and quality of life in patients with malignancies.METHODS This study included patients with malignant tumors who were hospitalized at Fuyang Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March 2022 to March 2024.The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,Social Support Rating Scale,and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 were utilized to assess patients’resilience,coping styles,social support,and quality of life,respectively.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to assess the correlations.RESULTS A total of 175 patients with malignant tumors demonstrated no marked difference in terms of age,education level,employment status,monthly household income,and disease staging(P<0.05).Further,patients with malignancies demonstrated scores of 17.49±1.20,17.27±1.46,and 11.19±1.29 points in terms of coping styles in confrontation,avoidance,and resignation dimensions,respectively.Subjective support,objective support,and support utilization scores in terms of social support were 10.67±1.80,11.26±2.08,and 9.24±1.14 points,respectively.The total resilience score and tenacity,self-improvement,and optimism dimension scores were positively correlatedwith the confrontation coping style score,whereas the total resilience score and tenacity and self-improvementscores were negatively associated with avoidance and resignation coping style scores(P<0.05).The total resiliencescore and the tenacity dimension score were positively associated with physical,role,cognitive,emotional,andsocial functions,as well as global health status(P<0.05),and were inversely related to fatigue,insomnia,andeconomic difficulties(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONThe resilience of patients with malignancies is positively associated with the confrontation dimension in the copingstyle,the total and various social support domain scores,and the overall quality of life.Clinical medical staff needto pay attention to the effect of medical coping styles and social support on the resilience level of patients withmalignancies to further improve their quality of life.

文摘As a widely used measurement technique in rock mechanics,spatial correlation modeling of acoustic emission(AE)scattering signals is attracting increasing focus for describing mechanical behavior quantitatively.Unlike the statistical description of the spatial distribution of randomly generated AE signals,spatial correlation modeling is based mainly on short-range correlation considering the interrelationship of adjacent signals.As a new idea from percolation models,the covering strategy is used to build the most representative cube cluster,which corresponds to the critical scale at peak stress.Its modeling process of critical cube cluster depends strongly on the full connection of the main fracture network,and the corresponding cube for coverage is termed the critical cube.The criticality pertains to not only the transition of local-to-whole connection of the fracture network but also the increasing-to-decreasing transition of the deviatoric stress with an obvious stress drop in the brittle failure of granite.Determining a reasonable critical cube guarantees the best observation scale for investigating the failure process.Besides,the topological connection induces the geometric criticality of three descriptors,namely anisotropy,pore fraction,and specific surface area,which are evaluated separately and effectively.The results show that cluster modeling based on the critical cube is effective and has criticality in both topology and geometry,as well as the triaxial behavior.Furthermore,the critical cube length presents a high confidence probability of being correlated to the mineral particle size.Besides,its pore fraction of cube cluster is influenced strongly by the critical cube length and confining pressure.

文摘Chemical short-range order(SRO),a phenomenon at the atomic scale resulting from inhomogeneities in the local chemical environment,is usually studied using machine learning force field-based molecular dynamics simulations due to the limitations of experimental methods.To promote the reliable application of machine potentials in high-entropy alloy simulations,first,this work uses NEP models trained on two different datasets to predict the SRO coefficients of NbMoTaW.The results show that within the same machine learning framework,there are significant differences in the prediction of SRO coefficients for the Nb-Nb atomic pair.Subsequently,this work predicts the SRO coefficients of NbMoTaW using the NEP model and the SNAP model,both of which are trained on the same dataset.The results reveal significant discrepancies in SRO predictions for like-element pairs(e.g.,Nb-Nb and W-W)between the two potentials,despite the identical training data.The findings of this study indicate that discrepancies in the prediction results of SRO coefficients can arise from either the same machine learning framework trained on different datasets or different learning frameworks trained on the same dataset.This reflects possible incompleteness in the current training set's coverage of local chemical environments at the atomic scale.Future research should establish unified evaluation standards to assess the capability of training sets to accurately describe complex atomic-scale behaviors such as SRO.

文摘Creep is an important mechanical property of refractory high-entropy alloys(RHEAs)at high temperatures.The existence of short-range order(SRO)and its ability to improve the strength or plasticity of high-entropy alloys(HEAs)have been experimentally proven.However,there is still little research on the correlation between SRO and creep behavior.The mechanism of SRO influencing creep behavior is not yet clear.In this work,the creep behaviors of TiVTaNb RHEA with and without SRO were simulated at various temperatures and stresses using molecular dynamics methods,and the effects of SRO on creep behavior were analyzed.The results show that the SRO is energetically favorable for occurrence in this RHEA.For polycrystalline RHEAs,grain boundary energy is an important driving force for the formation of SRO.Significantly,under the same conditions,the SRO can reduce the steady-state creep rate and change the creep mechanism of the RHEA.Specifically,the models with SRO will exhibit lower stress exponent and grain-size exponent.A mechanism by which SRO reduces the effects of grain boundaries on creep has been discovered.These phenomena can be well explained by the effects of SRO on atomic diffusion.In addition,by analyzing the diffusion ability of different elements,SRO can induce localization of atomic diffusion,resulting in strain localization under high stresses.This work highlights the importance of SRO on the creep of RHEAs and provides a reference for establishing a reasonable creep model of RHEAs.

文摘BACKGROUND Previous cellular studies have demonstrated that elevated expression of Cx43 promotes the degradation of cyclin E1 and inhibits cell proliferation through ubiquitination.Conversely,reduced expression results in a loss of this capacity to facilitate cyclin E degradation.The ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1 may be associated with phosphorylation at specific sites on the protein,with Cx43 potentially enhancing this process by facilitating the phosphorylation of these critical residues.AIM To investigate the correlation between expression of Cx43,SKP1/Cullin1/F-box(SCF)FBXW7,p-cyclin E1(ser73,thr77,thr395)and clinicopathological indexes in colon cancer.METHODS Expression levels of Cx43,SCF^(FBXW7),p-cyclin E1(ser73,thr77,thr395)in 38 clinical colon cancer samples were detected by immunohistochemistry and were analyzed by statistical methods to discuss their correlations.RESULTS Positive rate of Cx43,SCF^(FBXW7),p-cyclin E1(Ser73),p-cyclin E1(Thr77)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)in detected samples were 76.32%,76.32%,65.79%,5.26%and 55.26%respectively.Positive expressions of these proteins were not related to the tissue type,degree of tissue differentiation or lymph node metastasis.Cx43 and SCF^(FBXW7)(r=0.749),p-cyclin E1(Ser73)(r=0.667)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)(r=0.457),SCF^(FBXW7) and p-cyclin E1(Ser73)(r=0.703)and p-cyclin E1(Thr395)(0.415)were correlated in colon cancer(P<0.05),and expressions of the above proteins were positively correlated in colon cancer.CONCLUSION Cx43 may facilitate the phosphorylation of cyclin E1 at the Ser73 and Thr195 sites through its interaction with SCF^(FBXW7),thereby influencing the ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin E1.

文摘Missile-borne short-range infrared detection(SIRD)technology is commonly used in military ground target detection.In complex battlefield environments,achieving precise strike on ground target is a challenging task.However,real battlefield data is limited,and equivalent experiments are costly.Currently,there is a lack of comprehensive physical modeling and numerical simulation methods for SIRD.To this end,this study proposes a SIRD simulation framework incorporating full-link physical response,which is integrated through the radiative transfer layer,the sensor response layer,and the model-driven layer.In the radiative transfer layer,a coupled dynamic detection model is established to describe the external optical channel response of the SIRD system by combining the infrared radiation model and the geometric measurement model.In the sensor response layer,considering photoelectric conversion and signal processing,the internal signal response model of the SIRD system is established by a hybrid mode of parametric modeling and analog circuit analysis.In the model-driven layer,a cosimulation application based on a three-dimensional virtual environment is proposed to drive the full-link physical model,and a parallel ray tracing method is employed for real-time synchronous simulation.The proposed simulation framework can provide pixel-level signal output and is verified by the measured data.The evaluation results of the root mean square error(RMSE)and the Pearson correlation coefficient(PCC)show that the simulated data and the measured data achieve good consistency,and the evaluation results of the waveform eigenvalues indicate that the simulated signals exhibit low errors compared to the measured signals.The proposed simulation framework has the potential to acquire large sample datasets of SIRD under various complex battlefield environments and can provide an effective data source for SIRD application research.

文摘Chemical short-range order(SRO)in multi-principal element alloys(MPEAs)and its unprecedented benefits on materials performance have been elucidated in recent experimental observations.Hence,manipulating the fine structure of SRO and its interaction with other coexisting SROs or defects becomes increasingly crucial for MPEAs design.Here,using TiZrNb,TiZrVNb,and TiZrV as the model systems,SRO and its interaction with surrounding environment,as well as its effects on mechanical properties are comprehensively explored through density functional theory-based Monte Carlo simulations.We find that both TiZrNb and TiZrVNb exhibit Ti-Zr SRO and Nb-Nb short-range clustering(SRC),whereas in TiZrV,Zr-V SRO occurs in addition to Ti-Zr SRO.SRO largely increases the modulus and the unstable stacking fault energy(USFE).At the electronic scale,SRO is found accompanied with a deeper pseudo-energy gap at Fermi level,and with a covalent bonding character between the metallic atoms.Due to the SRO-oxygen attraction,oxygen centered and Ti/Zr enriched octahedron coined as(O,2Ti,4Zr)-octahedron populates in TiZrNb-O and TiZrV-O.In TiZrVNb-O,there mainly exist two types of octahedral:(O,2Ti,4Zr)and(O,3Ti,3Zr).Quantitatively,forming these(O,Ti,Zr)-octahedra,the modulus and USFE of MPEAs are further increased compared to the individual contribution from SRO or oxygen,but the improvement does not surpass the sum of the increments induced by the two individuals.The present findings deepen the understanding of SROs and their interactions with surrounding environments,pushing forward the effective utilization of SRO in materials design.

文摘The short-range ordering(SRO)structure has been considered as a toughening method to improve the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys(HEAs).However,the strengthening mechanism of the SRO structures on the HEAs still needs to be further revealed.Here,the effect of element distribution,Al content,crack orientation,temperature,and strain rate on the crack propagation behavior of the AlxFeCoCrNi HEAs are investigated using Monte Carlo(MC)/molecular dynamics(MD)simulation methods.Two HEA models are considered,one with five elements randomly distributed in the alloys,i.e.RSS_HEAs,and the other presenting SRO structure in the alloys,namely SRO_HEAs.The results show that Al atoms play a decisive role in the SRO degree of the HEA.The higher the Al content,the greater the SRO degree of the HEA,and the stronger the resistance of the SRO structure to crack propagation in the alloys.The results indicate that the reinforcement effect of the SRO structure in the model with the(111)[110]crack is more significant than that with the(111)[110]crack.The results show that the crack length of the alloys at maximum strain does not monotonically increase with temperature,but rather exhibits a turning point at the temperature of 400 K.When the temperature is below 400 K,the crack length of the alloys increases with the increase of temperature,while above 400 K,the opposite trend appears.In addition,the results indicate that the crack length of the alloys decreases with increasing strain rate under the same strain.

文摘In this paper,we investigate the distinctions between dynamical quantum chaotic systems and random models from the perspective of observable properties,particularly focusing on the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis(ETH).Through numerical simulations,we find that for dynamical systems,the envelope function of off-diagonal elements of observables exhibits an exponential decay at largeΔE,while for randomized models,it tends to be flat.We demonstrate that the correlations of chaotic eigenstates,originating from the delicate structures of Hamiltonians,play a crucial role in the non-trivial structure of the envelope function.Furthermore,we analyze the numerical results from the perspective of the dynamical group elements in Hamiltonians.Our findings highlight the importance of correlations in physical chaotic systems and provide insights into the deviations from random matrix theory(RMT)predictions.These understandings offer valuable directions for future research.
