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

The trajectory for each specific element is a cooperative result of its intrinsic dynamic, its couplings with other elements, and the environment. It is subsequently composed of many components, only some of which take part in the couplings. In this paper we present a framework to detect the component correlation pattern. Firstly, the interested trajectories are decomposed into components by using decomposing methods such as the Fourier expansion and the Wavelet transformation. Secondly, the cross-correlations between the components are calculated, resulting into a component cross-correlation matrix(network).Finally, the dominant structure in the network is identified to characterize the coupling pattern in the system. Several deterministic dynamical models turn out to be characterized with rich structures such as the clustering of the components. The pattern of correlation between respiratory(RESP) and ECG signals is composed of five sub-clusters that are mainly formed by the components in ECG signal. Interestingly, only 7 components from RESP(scattered in four sub-clusters) take part in the realization of coupling between the two signals.展开更多

文摘The tensor force changes the nuclear shell structure and thus may result in underlying influence of the collectivity and decay properties of the nucleus.We carefully examined the impact of the monopole and multipole effects originating from the tensor force on both the collectivity and the matrix element for the neutrinoless double-β(0νββ)decay,using the generatorcoordinate method with an effective interaction.To analyze the effect of the tensor force,we employed an effective Hamiltonian associated with the monopole-based universal interaction that explicitly consists of the central,tensor,and spin-orbit coupling terms.The interferences among the shell structure,quadrupole collectivity,nucleon occupancy,and 0νββmatrix elements were analyzed in detail.A better understanding of the tensor force would be of great importance in reducing the theoretical uncertainty in 0νββnuclear matrix element calculations.

文摘Patterns and drivers of species–genetic diversity correlations(SGDCs)have been broadly examined across taxa and ecosystems and greatly deepen our understanding of how biodiversity is maintained.However,few studies have examined the role of canopy structural heterogeneity,which is a defining feature of forests,in shaping SGDCs.Here,we determine what factors contribute toα-andβ-species–genetic diversity correlations(i.e.,α-andβ-SGDCs)in a Chinese subtropical forest.For this purpose,we used neutral molecular markers to assess genetic variation in almost all adult individuals of the dominant tree species,Lithocarpus xylocarpus,across plots in the Ailaoshan National Natural Reserve.We also quantified microhabitat variation by quantifying canopy structure heterogeneity with airborne laser scanning on 201-ha subtropical forest plots.We found that speciesα-diversity was negatively correlated with geneticα-diversity.Canopy structural heterogeneity was positively correlated with speciesα-diversity but negatively correlated with geneticα-diversity.These contrasting effects contributed to the formation of a negativeα-SGDC.Further,we found that canopy structural heterogeneity increases speciesα-diversity and decreases geneticα-diversity by reducing the population size of target species.Speciesβ-diversity,in contrast,was positively correlated with geneticβ-diversity.Differences in canopy structural heterogeneity between plots had non-linear parallel effects on the two levels ofβ-diversity,while geographic distance had a relatively weak effect onβ-SGDC.Our study indicates that canopy structural heterogeneity simultaneously affects plot-level community species diversity and population genetic diversity,and species and genetic turnover across plots,thus drivingα-andβ-SGDCs.

文摘Detecting coupling pattern between elements in a complex system is a basic task in data-driven analysis. The trajectory for each specific element is a cooperative result of its intrinsic dynamic, its couplings with other elements, and the environment. It is subsequently composed of many components, only some of which take part in the couplings. In this paper we present a framework to detect the component correlation pattern. Firstly, the interested trajectories are decomposed into components by using decomposing methods such as the Fourier expansion and the Wavelet transformation. Secondly, the cross-correlations between the components are calculated, resulting into a component cross-correlation matrix(network).Finally, the dominant structure in the network is identified to characterize the coupling pattern in the system. Several deterministic dynamical models turn out to be characterized with rich structures such as the clustering of the components. The pattern of correlation between respiratory(RESP) and ECG signals is composed of five sub-clusters that are mainly formed by the components in ECG signal. Interestingly, only 7 components from RESP(scattered in four sub-clusters) take part in the realization of coupling between the two signals.

文摘For the observed line at 799.23°A in tungsten EBIT experiment,which was assigned to be^(3)F_(4)^(o)−^(3)F_(3)^(o)([Ar]4s^(2)4p^(5)4d)of W^(38+)ion,there were noticeable deviations for most calculated wavelengths from the measured value.To clarify this issue,we carry out an extensive calculation for energy levels and transition properties of W^(38+)ion using the multi-configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction method,in which more deeper inner core electron correlations are included,and different forms of Breit interaction as well as quantum electrodynamics corrections are investigated.It is found that the inner core electron correlations can affect the total energy of levels,while only slightly modify the excited energy of levels in 4s^(2)4p^(5)4d complex.The present calculated wavelengths agree with the corresponding measured values excellently except the line at 799.23Å.Thus we are strongly suspicious this line should be misidentified,and suggest that new experiment with higher resolution and spectra analysis based on more accurate atomic data should be performed for W^(38+)ion.
