文摘Image-maps,a hybrid design with satellite images as background and map symbols uploaded,aim to combine the advantages of maps’high interpretation efficiency and satellite images’realism.The usability of image-maps is influenced by the representations of background images and map symbols.Many researchers explored the optimizations for background images and symbolization techniques for symbols to reduce the complexity of image-maps and improve the usability.However,little literature was found for the optimum amount of symbol loading.This study focuses on the effects of background image complexity and map symbol load on the usability(i.e.,effectiveness and efficiency)of image-maps.Experiments were conducted by user studies via eye-tracking equipment and an online questionnaire survey.Experimental data sets included image-maps with ten levels of map symbol load in ten areas.Forty volunteers took part in the target searching experiments.It has been found that the usability,i.e.,average time viewed(efficiency)and average revisits(effectiveness)of targets recorded,is influenced by the complexity of background images,a peak exists for optimum symbol load for an image-map.The optimum levels for symbol load for different image-maps also have a peak when the complexity of the background image/image map increases.The complexity of background images serves as a guideline for optimum map symbol load in image-map design.This study enhanced user experience by optimizing visual clarity and managing cognitive load.Understanding how these factors interact can help create adaptive maps that maintain clarity and usability,guiding AI algorithms to adjust symbol density based on user context.This research establishes the practices for map design,making cartographic tools more innovative and more user-centric.

文摘The Jiuyishan granitic complex,located in the Nanling Range,South China,is composed of five granitic plutons(Xuehuading,Jinjiling,Pangxiemu,Shaziling and Xishan).Zircon U-Pb dating of four plutons(Jinjiling,Pangxiemu,Shaziling and Xishan)yielded similar ages of approximately 153 Ma,indicating indistinguishable ages within error.Three plutons except the Shaziling pluton,have consistentε_(Nd)(t)(-7.8 to-5.8)andε_(Hf)(t)(-9.1 to-2.2)values,which are similar to those of the lower crustal granulitic metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks in South China.Compared to other three plutons,the Shaziling pluton has consistentε_(Nd)(t)(-7.4 to-6.8)andε_(Hf)(t)(-7.5 to-4.7)values and shows similar source,but the Shaziling mafic microgranular enclaves(MMEs)show variableε_(Hf)(t)(-14.2 to 4.8)values,indicating a remarkable mantle magma injection of the Shaziling pluton.Zircon Ce/Sm-Yb/Gd,whole-rock CaO-P_(2)O_(5)and CaO-TiO_(2)linear trends reveal that from the Xishan to the Shaziling and from the Jinjiling to the Pangxiemu granites,they experienced apatite and titanite fractionation,respectively.Zircon Th,U,Nb,Ta,Hf,Ti,Y,P and rare earth element(REE)contents and whole-rock Sr,Ba and Rb contents also show that the Shaziling,Xishan,Jinjiling and Pangxiemu granites followed a discontinuous evolutionary series,but the Pangxiemu granites exhibit highly evolved nature.Four main controlling factors of W-Sn and rare metal mineralization in granitic rocks were discussed,and we found that the mineralization in Jiuyishan granitic complex was mainly controlled by the fractionation degree and crystallization temperature,but were rarely affected by oxygen fugacity and mantle material input.The Pangxiemu granites show particularly higher Rb and Ta contents than the other three plutons,implying that the ore deposits developed in the Jiuyishan Complex were directly related to the most evolved Pangxiemu pluton,with the occurrence of Rb and Ta as the most likely rare metal mineralization in the Jiuyishan District.A crystal mush model is proposed to interpret the petrogenetic and mineralizing processes of the Jiuyishan granitic complex.

文摘A phenylphenothiazine anchored Tb(Ⅲ)-cyclen complex PTP-Cy-Tb for hypochlorite ion(ClO^(-))detection has been designed and prepared.PTP-Cy-Tb shows a weak Tb-based emission with AIE-characteristics in aqueous solutions.After addition of ClO^(-),the fluorescence of PTP-Cy-Tb gives a large enhancement for oxidization the thioether to sulfoxide group.The detection limit of PTP-Cy-Tb toward ClO^(-)is as low as 8.85 nmol/L.The sensing mechanism was detailedly investigated by time of flight mass spectrometer(TOF-MS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)and density functional theory(DFT)calculation.In addition,PTP-Cy-Tb has been successfully used for on-site and real-time detection of ClO^(-)in real water samples by using the smartphone-based visualization method and test strips.

文摘Metal complexes hold significant promise in tumor diagnosis and treatment.However,their potential applications in photodynamic therapy(PDT)are hindered by issues such as poor photostability,low yield of reactive oxygen species(ROS),and aggregation-induced ROS quenching.To address these challenges,we present a molecular self-assembly strategy utilizing aggregation-induced emission(AIE)conjugates for metal complexes.As a proof of concept,we synthesized a mitochondrial-targeting cyclometalated Ir(Ⅲ)photosensitizer Ir-TPE.This approach significantly enhances the photodynamic effect while mitigating the dark toxicity associated with AIE groups.Ir-TPE readily self-assembles into nanoaggregates in aqueous solution,leading to a significant production of ROS upon light irradiation.Photoirradiated Ir-TPE triggers multiple modes of death by excessively accumulating ROS in the mitochondria,resulting in mitochondrial DNA damage.This damage can lead to ferroptosis and autophagy,two forms of cell death that are highly cytotoxic to cancer cells.The aggregation-enhanced photodynamic effect of Ir-TPE significantly enhances the production of ROS,leading to a more pronounced cytotoxic effect.In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate this aggregation-enhanced PDT approach achieves effective in situ tumor eradication.This study not only addresses the limitations of metal complexes in terms of low ROS production due to aggregation but also highlights the potential of this strategy for enhancing ROS production in PDT.
文摘Luminescence thermometry has attracted more and more attention due to its non-contact and noninvasive operation,fast response,high spatial resolution,and so on,for which the luminescent thermometers are the key.Here,a 1D complex[Tb_(4)(HTC4A)(TC4A)(OBBA)_(2)(CH_(3)OH)_(4)(μ4-OH)]n(1)was obtained by solvothermal synthesis,where H 4TC4A=p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene,and H_(2)OBBA=4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid.This complex is featured with a chain-like polymer constructed by bridging some sandwich-like Tb_(4)-(TC4A)_(2)entities through OBBA2-ligands.It exhibited the characteristic emission of the Tb^(3+)ion.Both fluorescence intensity and lifetime decreased with increasing temperature.The relative sensitivity was up to 8.743%·K^(-1)at 473 K,indicating it is a good ratiometric luminescent thermometer.This complex had good stability under different pH values and in common solvents.CCDC:2392643.
