文摘Joint roughness coefficient(JRC)is the most commonly used parameter for quantifying surface roughness of rock discontinuities in practice.The system composed of multiple roughness statistical parameters to measure JRC is a nonlinear system with a lot of overlapping information.In this paper,a dataset of eight roughness statistical parameters covering 112 digital joints is established.Then,the principal component analysis method is introduced to extract the significant information,which solves the information overlap problem of roughness characterization.Based on the two principal components of extracted features,the white shark optimizer algorithm was introduced to optimize the extreme gradient boosting model,and a new machine learning(ML)prediction model was established.The prediction accuracy of the new model and the other 17 models was measured using statistical metrics.The results show that the prediction result of the new model is more consistent with the real JRC value,with higher recognition accuracy and generalization ability.

文摘Background:Rosa chinensis Jacq.and Rosa rugosa Thunb.are not only of ornamental value,but also edible flowers and the flower buds have been listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as traditional medicines.The two plants have some differences in efficacy,but the flower buds are easily confused for similar traits.In addition,large-scale cultivation of ornamental rose flowers may lead to a decrease in the effective components of medicinal roses.Therefore,it is necessary to study the chemical composition and make quality evaluation of Rosae Chinensis Flos(Yueji)and Rosae Rugosae Flos(Meigui).Methods:In this study,40 batches of samples including Meigui and Yueji from different regions in China were collected to establish high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprints.Then,the fingerprints data was analyzed using principal component analysis,hierarchical cluster analysis,and partial least squares discriminant analysis analysis chemometrics to obtain information on intergroup differences,and non-targeted metabolomic techniques were applied to identify and compare chemical compositions of samples which were chosen from groups with large differences.Differential compounds were screened by orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis and S-plot,and finally multi-component quantification was performed to comprehensively evaluate the quality of Yueji and Meigui.Results:The similarity between the fingerprints of 40 batches roses and the reference print R was 0.73 to 0.93,indicating that there were similarities and differences between the samples.Through principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis of fingerprints data,the samples from different origins and varieties were intuitively divided into four groups.Partial least-squares discriminant analysis analysis showed that Meigui and Yueji cluster into two categories and the model was reliable.A total of 89 compounds were identified by high resolution mass spectrometry,mainly were flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides,as well as phenolic acids.Eight differential components were screened out by orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis and S-plot analysis.Quantitative analyses of the eight compounds,including gallic acid,ellagic acid,hyperoside,isoquercitrin,etc.,showed that Yueji was generally richer in phenolic acids and flavonoids than Meigui,and the quality of Yueji from Shandong and Hebei was better.It is worth noting that Xinjiang rose is rich in various components,which is worth focusing on more in-depth research.Conclusion:In this study,the fingerprints of Meigui and Yueji were established.The chemical components information of roses was further improved based on non-targeted metabolomics and mass spectrometry technology.At the same time,eight differential components of Meigui and Yueji were screened out and quantitatively analyzed.The research results provided a scientific basis for the quality control and rational development and utilization of Rosae Chinensis Flos and Rosae Rugosae Flos,and also laid a foundation for the study of their pharmacodynamic material basis.
文摘To improve the heat transfer rate and thermal performance of the solar air heater due to low efficiency,new techniques,such as artificial roughness,barriers,and obstacles,should be used to increase the heat exchange between the fluid and the absorber.In this research,perforated V-shaped blockages with new geometric shapes,which are circular,hexagonal,square,rectangular,and triangular,were used.They were fixed on the absorber plate inside the channel with dimensions of 1.5 m×0.5 m×0.05 m,which increased the exit temperature of the air passing through the channel.The experimental work consists of six cases that were carried out during November in Baghdad,Iraq,to obtain an optimal result.These cases included using barriers that have holes with different geometric shapes for the barriers inside the solar air heater in addition to the reference case without any barriers.A comparison ismade between the cases under the same conditions and limits to reach the optimal case.The range of mass flow rate was from 0.0098 to 0.049 kg/s,and the range of Re was from 2000 to 10,000.Another goal of the comparison was to maximize Nu and minimize the friction factor.TheNu value improved by 1.77 and the fraction factor by 1.75 for the hexagonal perforated,which had the best performance.As for the triangle perforated,Nu improved by 1.58 and the fraction factor by 3.84,which had the worst performance.The Nu value improved by 1.39,1.22,and 1.4,and the fraction factor improved by 1.967,1.28,and 2.33 for square,circular,and rectangular,respectively.The thermal efficiency is evaluated by analyzing the heat losses from convection with the surrounding air and long-wave radiation exchange with the atmosphere.The experimental results indicated that using barriers with hexagonal holes is the best performance.

文摘The primary Mach Reflection(MR)and pressure/heating loads on V-shaped Blunt Leading Edges(VBLEs)with variable elliptic cross-sections and conic crotches are theoretically investigated in this study.The simplified continuity method is used to forecast the shock configurations.The theoretical predictions and the numerical simulations for the Mach stem and the triple point as well as the curved shock accord well.Based on the theoretical model,an analysis of the impact of the axial ratio a/b of the cross-sectional shape and the eccentricity e of the crotch sweep path on shock structures is carried out.The shock configurations obtained from the theoretical model enable the derivation of the transition boundaries between the primary MR and the same family Regular Reflection(sRR).It is found that the increase of a/b and e can both facilitate the primary MR to sRR transition.The resulting transition and the corresponding generation of the wall pressure and heat flux are then investigated.The results indicate that higher values of the ratio a/b can significantly reduce the wall pressure and heating loads by inducing the primary MR to sRR transition.Conversely,the increase in the eccentricity e results in increased loads,despite causing the same transition.

文摘The widespread use of lithium batteries has led to frequent fire hazards,which significantly threaten both human lives and property safety.One of the primary challenges in enhancing the fire safety of lithium batteries lies in the flammability of their organic components.As electronic devices continue to proliferate,the integration of liquid electrolytes and separators has become common.However,these components are prone to high volatility and leakage,which limits their safety.Fortunately,recent advancements in solid-state and gel electrolytes have demonstrated promising performance in laboratory settings,providing solutions to these issues.Typically,improving the flame retardancy and fire safety of lithium batteries involves careful design of the formulations or molecular structures of the organic materials.Moreover,the internal interfacial interactions also play a vital role in ensuring safety.This review examines the innovative design strategies developed over the past 5 years to address the fire safety concerns associated with lithium batteries.Future advancements in the next generation of high-safety lithium batteries should not only focus on optimizing component design but also emphasize rigorous operational testing.This dual approach will drive further progress in battery safety research and development,enhancing the overall reliability of lithium battery systems.

文摘Natural rubber(NR)is a crucial elastic material used for damping and sealing applications in the nuclear industry,but its mechanical stability under radiation remains inadequate.Current efforts to improve radiation resistance rely on the addition of antiradiation agents,however,the effects of the components and microstructures of NR itself on radiation resistance remain unclear.In this study,we compared the composition and structure differences of four typical commercially used NR materials and investigated their effects on gamma radiation resistance.Furthermore,we examined the impact of non-rubber components(NRC)in NR on radiation resistance using deproteinized and dephosphorylated NR model samples.Our results revealed that NRC,such as proteins and phospholipids can enhance the strength of natural rubber before radiation exposure.However,after the removal of NRC,the samples exhibited improved mechanical stability under irradiation.Additionally,the ash content in NR could also influence the radiation resistance,as metal ions may react with the active centers produced by radiation,thereby enhancing the radiation resistance of the rubber.This work identifies the effect of non-rubber components in NR on radiation resistance and may serve as a reference for screening and developing radiation-resistant NR materials.

文摘As the integration of electronic components in high-performance servers increases,heat generation significantly impacts performance and raises failure rates.Therefore,heat dissipation has become a critical concern in electronic circuit design.This study uses numerical simulations to investigate the heat dissipation characteristics of electronic components in air-cooled servers.By adjusting airflow speed,heat sink configurations,and the arrangement of straight-fin heat sinks,we optimize heat dissipation performance and analyze the mechanisms at different airflow speeds.The results show that,at the same airflow speed,the temperature of the heat sink is lower than that of the electronic components,creating a temperature gradient that enhances heat transfer.Compared to a front-to-back arrangement of two straight-fin heat sinks,placing the heat sinks parallel to each other results in a lower maximum component temperature and better temperature uniformity.Heat sinks with fins significantly improve heat dissipation.The heat sink with semicylindrical fins on the rib surface provides the best cooling performance.Moreover,compared to natural convection,the maximum temperature of the electronic components decreases by 56.17%and 61%when the incoming flow velocity is 6 m/s with two parallel flat ribbed heat sinks and front-to-back arrangement,respectively.

文摘Three typical toughening components(i e,emulsion asphalt,waste tire rubber particles,and polyethylene fibers)were employed to prepare self-compacting concrete(SCC).The fracture behaviors of these prepared SCC were investigated through the three-point bending test of notched beams,in which the accompanying acoustics emissions(AE)were also recorded.The test results showed that although incorporating a single toughening component reduced the fracture strengths and fracture toughness of SCC,the combination of multiple toughening components could diminish this negative effect.In addition,introducing toughening components could enhance the fracture energy and ductility index of SCC,with an improvement up to 10 times or more when PE fibers and other toughening components were involved.Based on the results of AE characteristics,SCC exhibited a progressive damage process with mitigated crack propagation after the addition of toughening components.Overall,this study could advance the understanding of the influence mechanisms of toughening components on concrete fracture behavior and further instruct the improvement in the fracture performance of concrete.
