This study investigated soil fertility based on soil chemistry and biological properties of organic vegetable farms in Sariaya, Quezon Province and Los Baños, Laguna Province, with the aim of developing organic agriculture in the Philippines. We utilized the SOFIX (Soil Fertility Index) technology, which is designed to evaluate soil fertility by focusing on the activity and diversity of microbial communities in the soil. This technology provides a scientific assessment of soil health, aiming to contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Soil fertility parameters from four different farms cultivating outdoor organic vegetables were below the recommended values for organic production. Essential macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and total carbon content, which is indicative of soil organic matter, were insufficient. Bacterial biomass for soil organic matter decomposition, and nitrogen and phosphorus circulation was inadequate. These results indicated that organic plots lack the fertility needed for optimal organic crop growth. The poor fertility of these organic plots could be attributed to their recent shift from conventional cultivation, which used synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, to organic cultivation approximately seven years ago. This shift may harm soil microorganisms, leading to decreased fertility, nutrient availability and hindering the ability to sustain organic production. Overall, the findings of this case study emphasize the significant soil fertility challenges on organic vegetable farms. Therefore, farmers and agricultural practitioners must adopt appropriate soil management practices to improve soil fertility, microbial populations, nutrient availability, and overall soil health for successful organic production.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.展开更多

文摘Formulating oil-based drilling fluids(OBDFs)with an ultra-low oil-to-water ratio(OWR≤60:40)presents a formidable stability challenge due to the maximized interfacial area and intensified stress on the interfacial film under high-temperature,high-density conditions.To address this,we engineered a synergistic stabilization system through molecular and colloidal design.A novel hyperbranched polyamide emulsifier(epoxidized soybean oil polyamide)(ESOP),synthesized from epoxidized soybean oil,exhibits superior thermal stability and interfacial activity due to its hyperbranched architecture.Combined with calcium petroleum sulfonate(CPS)and hydrophobic nanosilica(HNs),it enables a high-performance OBDF with an ultra-low OWR of 60:40.The results show that the optimized formula achieves an excellent demulsification voltage of 1290 V,an ultra-low HTHP fluid loss of 1.5 mL,a yield point of 12.9 Pa,and a superior sag factor(SF)of 0.504,outperforming both base and commercial systems.Mechanistic studies reveal a multiscale stabilization strategy involving a dense composite interfacial film,Pickering stabilization,a 3D network,and a unique thermally triggered self-reinforcement effect.This work not only provides a cost-effective OBDF formulation but,more importantly,establishes a molecular topology engineering paradigm for stabilizing complex industrial fluids under extreme conditions.

文摘As a kind of bio-derived feedstock,vegetable oil(VO)shows great potential to replace petroleum-based monomers to develop sustainable polymer materials because of its easy availability,low cost,bio-renewable,and environmentally friendly nature.However,due to the high cross-linking density and amorphous nature,directly cured VOs generally tend to be brittle and weak.To date,it is still difficult to adopt VOs and their derivatives as structural materials to prepare high-performance elastomers.To address this important issue,amulti-scale topology design strategy was proposed in this work.First,topology regulation and functionalization of VO-based networks were realized by managing functional groups proportion during the bulk polymerization of epoxidized soybean oil with dimer fatty acids.Furthermore,a second polymer(SN)network was introduced into the VO-based network as a protective layer via interfacial cross-links.The generated VO-based elastomers(VOEs)exhibit unprecedented comprehensive properties(VO content≥70 wt.%,T_(g)as low as−24.4℃,toughness up to 6.8 MJ/m^(3)).Besides,the VOEs also exhibit excellent reprocessability and self-healing capability.Overall,this work developed a novel kind of VOEs with significant comprehensive advantages and provided important inspiration for the preparation of high-performance elastomers throughmulti-scale topology regulation.

文摘Cruciferous vegetables are important edible vegetable crops.However,they are susceptible to various pests during their growth process,which requires real-time and accurate monitoring of these pests for pest forecasting and scientific control.Hanging yellow sticky boards is a common way to monitor and trap those pests which are attracted to the yellow color.To achieve real-time,low-cost,intelligent monitoring of these vegetable pests on the boards,we established an intelligent monitoring system consisting of a smart camera,a web platform and a pest detection algorithm deployed on a server.After the operator sets the monitoring preset points and shooting time of the camera on the system platform,the camera in the field can automatically collect images of multiple yellow sticky boards at fixed places and times every day.The pests trapped on the yellow sticky boards in vegetable fields,Plutella xylostella,Phyllotreta striolata and flies,are very small and susceptible to deterioration and breakage,which increases the difficulty of model detection.To solve the problem of poor recognition due to the small size and breaking of the pest bodies,we propose an intelligent pest detection algorithm based on an improved Cascade R-CNN model for three important cruciferous crop pests.The algorithm uses an overlapping sliding window method,an improved Res2Net network as the backbone network,and a recursive feature pyramid network as the neck network.The results of field tests show that the algorithm achieves good detection results for the three target pests on the yellow sticky board images,with precision levels of 96.5,92.2 and 75.0%,and recall levels of 96.6,93.1 and 74.7%,respectively,and an F_(1) value of 0.880.Compared with other algorithms,our algorithm has a significant advantage in its ability to detect small target pests.To accurately obtain the data for the newly added pests each day,a two-stage pest matching algorithm was proposed.The algorithm performed well and achieved results that were highly consistent with manual counting,with a mean error of only 2.2%.This intelligent monitoring system realizes precision,good visualization,and intelligent vegetable pest monitoring,which is of great significance as it provides an effective pest prevention and control option for farmers.

文摘Nitrate(NO_(3)^(-))accumulation and transport processes in the thick vadose zone affect the evolution of the groundwater NO_(3)^(-)content in intensive agricultural regions.Agricultural land-use change(ALUC),typically accompanied by substantial alterations in nitrogen fertilizer application and irrigation practices,is an important influencing factor.This study evaluated the changes in NO_(3)^(-)accumulation and transport in the deep vadose zone(DVZ,below the root zone),and the groundwater NO_(3)^(-)content associated with ALUC from grain to vegetable fields in the North China Plain(NCP).The ALUC from grain to vegetable resulted in nitrate–nitrogen(NO_(3)^(-)-N)accumulation in DVZ increased by 235.5 kg ha^(-1)m^(-1)(163.2%)in the piedmont plain and 224.9 kg ha^(-1)m^(-1)(102.7%)in the central plain,respectively.This change accelerated downward transport velocity in the DVZ(from 0.81±0.47 to 0.89±0.55 m yr^(-1)in the piedmont plain,and from 0.24±0.12 to 0.92±0.12 m yr^(-1)in the central plain)and increased NO_(3)^(-)leaching fluxes.High transport velocity and leaching fluxes resulted in chemical N-fertilizer entering the aquifer in several areas in the piedmont plain.The impact of the agricultural activity intensity changes,accompanied by the ALUC,on groundwater quantity and quality should be considered in similar regions.
文摘Organic agriculture is gaining momentum in the Philippines as consumers become more health- and environment-conscious. This study investigated soil fertility based on soil chemistry and biological properties of organic vegetable farms in Sariaya, Quezon Province and Los Baños, Laguna Province, with the aim of developing organic agriculture in the Philippines. We utilized the SOFIX (Soil Fertility Index) technology, which is designed to evaluate soil fertility by focusing on the activity and diversity of microbial communities in the soil. This technology provides a scientific assessment of soil health, aiming to contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Soil fertility parameters from four different farms cultivating outdoor organic vegetables were below the recommended values for organic production. Essential macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and total carbon content, which is indicative of soil organic matter, were insufficient. Bacterial biomass for soil organic matter decomposition, and nitrogen and phosphorus circulation was inadequate. These results indicated that organic plots lack the fertility needed for optimal organic crop growth. The poor fertility of these organic plots could be attributed to their recent shift from conventional cultivation, which used synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, to organic cultivation approximately seven years ago. This shift may harm soil microorganisms, leading to decreased fertility, nutrient availability and hindering the ability to sustain organic production. Overall, the findings of this case study emphasize the significant soil fertility challenges on organic vegetable farms. Therefore, farmers and agricultural practitioners must adopt appropriate soil management practices to improve soil fertility, microbial populations, nutrient availability, and overall soil health for successful organic production.

文摘The oil-based mud(OBM) borehole measurement environment presents significant limitations on the application of existing electrical logging instruments in high-resistance formations. In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.

文摘BACKGROUND Oil-based iodinated contrast media have excellent contrast properties and are widely used for hysterosalpingographic evaluation of female infertility.On abdominal radiography and computed tomography(CT)scans,their radiodensity is similar to that of metallic objects,which can sometimes lead to diagnostic confusion in the postoperative settings.In this case,retained oil-based contrast medium was observed on an abdominal radiograph following a cesarean section,making it difficult to differentiate from an intraperitoneal foreign body from surgery.The patient was a 37-year-old pregnant woman who was referred to our hospital at 32 weeks and 1 day of pregnancy due to complete placenta previa for mana-gement of pregnancy and delivery.An elective cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks and 3 days.A plain abdominal radiograph taken immediately after surgery revealed a near-round,hyperdense,mass-like shadow with a regular margin in the pelvic cavity.An intraperitoneal foreign body was suspected;therefore,an abdominal CT scan was performed.The foreign body was located on the left side of the pouch of Douglas and had a CT value of 7000 Hounsfield units,similar to that of metals.The CT value strongly suggested the presence of an artificial object.However,further inquiries with the patient and her previous physician revealed a history of hysterosalpingography.Accordingly,retained oil-based iodinated contrast medium was suspected,and observation of the object’s course was adopted.CONCLUSION When intraperitoneal foreign bodies are suspected on postoperative radiographs,the possibility of oil-based iodinated contrast medium retention should be considered.
