文摘Piezoresistive pressure sensors have received considerable attention because of their simple structure,high sensitivity and low cost.Graphene,which is known for its outstanding mechanical and electrical properties,has shown great application potential as a sensor material.However,its durability and performance consistency in practical applications still require enhancement.In this study,magnetic graphene fibers(MGFs)are prepared via wet spinning,using graphene oxide(GO),doped with Fe_(3)O_(4)nanoparticles.The resulting MGFs exhibit a high tensile strength of 58.6 MPa,a strain of 5.3%and an electrical conductivity of 1.7×10^(4)S/m.These MGFs are utilised to construct a multilayer fabric for fabrication of flexible pressure sensors.The confinement within the spinning channel facilitates an ordered arrangement of GO sheets,resulting in MGFs with superior electrical and mechanical properties.The issuing MGFs pressure sensors demonstrate a wide detection range(0-120 kPa),high sensitivity(0.233 kPa^(−1),0-40 kPa)and rapid response/recovery times(121 ms/158 ms).In addition,it exhibits a remarkable durability,maintaining performance over 1300 cycles,during continuous operation,with negligible degradation.This sensor shows excellent capability in monitoring human physiological activities,indicating its substantial application potential in wearable devices.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter focuses on the fact that small objects with few pixels disappear in feature maps with large receptive fields, as the network deepens, in object detection tasks. Therefore, the detection of dense small objects is challenging.

文摘Addressing the current issues in construction site detection algorithms—such as missed detections,false positives,and high model complexity—caused by occlusions and scale variations in dense environments.This paper proposes a lightweight multi-object detection model for construction sites based on YOLO-World,named the LCS-YOLO model,to achieve a balance between detection efficiency and accuracy.We propose the RGNet(Re-parameterization GhostNet)module,which integrates re-parameterized convolutions and a multi-branch architecture.This approach addresses the issue of information redundancy in intermediate feature maps while enhancing feature extraction and gradient flow capabilities.Combined with the adaptive downsampling module ADown(Adaptive Downsampling),it better captures image features and achieves spatial compression,reducing model complexity while enhancing interaction between images and text.Experiments demonstrate that the LCS-YOLO model outperforms other comparison models in overall performance,achieving a balance between accuracy and efficiency.

文摘Improving the volumetric energy density of supercapacitors is essential for practical applications,which highly relies on the dense storage of ions in carbon-based electrodes.The functional units of carbon-based electrode exhibit multi-scale structural characteristics including macroscopic electrode morphologies,mesoscopic microcrystals and pores,and microscopic defects and dopants in the carbon basal plane.Therefore,the ordered combination of multi-scale structures of carbon electrode is crucial for achieving dense energy storage and high volumetric performance by leveraging the functions of various scale structu re.Considering that previous reviews have focused more on the discussion of specific scale structu re of carbon electrodes,this review takes a multi-scale perspective in which recent progresses regarding the structureperformance relationship,underlying mechanism and directional design of carbon-based multi-scale structures including carbon morphology,pore structure,carbon basal plane micro-environment and electrode technology on dense energy storage and volumetric property of supercapacitors are systematically discussed.We analyzed in detail the effects of the morphology,pore,and micro-environment of carbon electrode materials on ion dense storage,summarized the specific effects of different scale structures on volumetric property and recent research progress,and proposed the mutual influence and trade-off relationship between various scale structures.In addition,the challenges and outlooks for improving the dense storage and volumetric performance of carbon-based supercapacitors are analyzed,which can provide feasible technical reference and guidance for the design and manufacture of dense carbon-based electrode materials.

文摘Shallow gas can cause many disasters,and it is reported in many marine engineering constructions.For this,it is imperative to understand the impact of gas on the mechanical behaviors of soil.This study investigated the influence of undrained triaxial compression tests on dense gassy sand commonly encountered in coastal areas.Triaxial tests were performed on specimens with saturations of 100%,99.8%,95.9%,and 92.7% under confining pressures of 50 kPa and 200 kPa by a self-developed multipurpose integrated triaxial apparatus(MITA)for gassy soil.The results are presented in terms of monotonic stress‒strain behavior,volumetric behavior,shear strength,and excess pore water pressure(EPWP).The occurrence of gas bubbles has different effects on loose and dense sands,augmenting the undrained shear strength of loose sand while concurrently diminishing that of dense sand.The deviatoric stress of dense sand increases during shear shrinkage,which is similar to the characteristics of loose sand under the influence of gas bubbles.However,following sand dilation,the effect of gas bubbles on deviatoric stress manifests in an antithetical manner.With elevated gas content,the shear strength of dense sand decreases,accompanied by a deceleration in the development of EPWP and a notable increase in volumetric changes.To this end,a microscopic explanation concerning the deformation and evolution of gas bubbles within sand during the shear process was presented to reveal the macroscopic laws governing the undrained shear attributes of dense gassy sand.

文摘Based on the observational data from 60 short-period stations deployed in the Jishishan M6.2 earthquake epicenter and adjacent regions(Gansu Province,2023),this study inverted the near-surface S-wave velocity structure through teleseismic receiver function analysis by using the amplitude of direct P-wave.The results reveal that the epicentral area(Liugou Township and surroundings)exhibits markedly low S-wave velocities of 400-600 m/s,with a mean value of(500±50)m/s.In contrast,intermountain basins-Guanting Basin and Dahejia Basin-demonstrate significantly elevated velocities,exceeding the epicentral zone by 100-300 m/s,with values concentrated at 600-900 m/s.Notably,localized areas such as Jintian Village and Caotan Village maintain stable S-wave velocities of(700±30)m/s.The western margin tectonic belt of Jishishan displays distinctive velocity differentiation:A pronounced velocity gradient zone along the 35.8°N latitude boundary separates northern areas(<550 m/s)from southern regions(>750 m/s).These findings demonstrate significant spatial heterogeneity in shallow S-wave velocity structures,primarily controlled by three factors:(1)topographic-geomorphic units,(2)stratigraphic lithological contrasts,and(3)anthropogenic modifications.The persistent low-velocity anomalies(<600 m/s)in the epicentral zone and northern Yellow River T2 terrace likely correlate with Quaternary unconsolidated sediments,enhanced groundwater circulation,and bedrock weathering.These results provide critical geophysical constraints for understanding both the seismogenic environment of the Jishishan earthquake and its damage distribution patterns.Furthermore,they establish a foundational framework for regional seismic intensity evaluation,site amplification analysis,and secondary hazard risk assessment.
