Continuous charges were analyzed dispersively. Based on the Coulomb's law, the dynamic equilibrium equations of the inducing charges on the bomb body were set up. For the four cases of d 0/L (the ratio between the electrode distance and the bomb length), the curves of the charge's distribution were given. It was concluded that: ① the charge density decreases steadily from the end near the frontal electrode to the bomb tail; ② the declining rate of the density is governed by d 0/L , the larger the value of d 0/L ,the higher the declining rate, and vice versa.展开更多

The values and orientations of horizontal principal stresses were determined by the new system. The virgin stress field and its distributing law were decided by the linear regression from the logged 37 points in seven boreholes. Besides, the typical boreholes arranged in both the adjacent zone and far away zone of the faults were analyzed, respectively. The results show that a stress concentration phenomenon and a deflection in the orientation of the maximal horizontal stress exist in the adjacent zone of the faults, which further provides theoretical basis for design and optimization of mining.展开更多

文摘In modern ZnO varistors,traditional aging mechanisms based on increased power consumption are no longer relevant due to reduced power consumption during DC aging.Prolonged exposure to both AC and DC voltages results in increased leakage current,decreased breakdown voltage,and lower nonlinearity,ultimately compromising their protective performance.To investigate the evolution in electrical properties during DC aging,this work developed a finite element model based on Voronoi networks and conducted accelerated aging tests on commercial varistors.Throughout the aging process,current-voltage characteristics and Schottky barrier parameters were measured and analyzed.The results indicate that when subjected to constant voltage,current flows through regions with larger grain sizes,forming discharge channels.As aging progresses,the current focus increases on these channels,leading to a decline in the varistor’s overall performance.Furthermore,analysis of the Schottky barrier parameters shows that the changes in electrical performance during aging are non-monotonic.These findings offer theoretical support for understanding the aging mechanisms and condition assessment of modern stable ZnO varistors.

文摘Material phase-transition represents a significant phenomenon and mechanism in the context of hypervelocity protection.This study presents a thorough analysis of the phase-transition phenomena induced by shock pressure as the shock wave propagates initially to the rear of the projectile.The shock wave that induces a phase-transition is commonly referred to as a macroscopic phase-transition wave,whereas the interface that separates the distinct phases is referred to as macroscopic phase-boundary.The contact interface between the spherical projectile and the thin plate,characterized by its curved surface,plays a significant role in the nonlinear propagation and evolution of wave systems.The pressure distribution along the central axis of a spherical projectile is derived in accordance with the linear decay law observed for axial pressure.On this basis,a quadratic function is employed to characterize the trend of changes in wave front pressure,thereby facilitating the establishment of a model for wave front pressure distribution.Using the phase-transition pressure criterion for materials,the wave front phase evolution process is derived,and the macroscopic phase-boundary is determined.Based on the geometric propagation model(GPM)and the pressure distribution of the wave front,a phase geometric propagation model(PGPM)is proposed.The phase distribution of a spherical projectile impacting a thin plate is obtained by theoretical methods.The accuracy of the PGPM is subsequently validated through a comparison of its results with those obtained from numerical simulations.

文摘Thermal storage electric heating(TSEH),as a prevalent variable load resource,offers significant potential for enhancing system flexibility when aggregated into a cluster.To address the uncertainties of renewable energy and load forecasting in active distribution networks(ADN),this paper proposes a multi-timescale coordinated optimal dispatch strategy that incorporates TSEH clusters.It utilizes the thermal storage characteristics and short-term regulation capabilities of TSEH,along with the rapid and gradual response characteristics of resources in active distribution grids,to develop a coordinated optimization dispatch mechanism for day-ahead,intraday,and real-time stages.It provides a coordinated optimized dispatch technique across several timescales for active distribution grids,taking into account the integration of TSEH clusters.The proposed method is validated on a modified IEEE 33-node system.Simulation results demonstrate that the participation of TSEH in collaborative optimization significantly reduces the total system operating cost by 8.71%compared to the scenario without TSEH.This cost reduction is attributed to a 10.84%decrease in interaction costs with the main grid and a 47.41%reduction in network loss costs,validating effective peak shaving and valley filling.The multi-timescale framework further enhances economic efficiency,with overall operating costs progressively decreasing by 3.91%(intraday)and 4.59%(real-time),and interaction costs further reduced by 5.34%and 9.25%,respectively.Moreover,the approach enhances system stability by effectively suppressing node voltage fluctuations and ensuring all voltages remain within safe operating limits during real-time operation.Therefore,the proposed approach achieves rational coordination of diverse resources,significantly improving the economic efficiency and stability of ADNs.

文摘Low-visibility phenomena strongly impact the environment,as well as transportation,aviation and other fields that are closely related to people's livelihoods;thus,they represent important ecological issues of social concern.Based on observation data concerning low-visibility phenomena derived from 105 national meteorological stations in Xinjiang,China over the past 20 years,we systematically analyzed the differences between manual and instrument observations for six types of low-visibility phenomena,with a focus on exploring their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics using instrument data.The results revealed that low-visibility phenomena were dominated by fog-and haze-related events(mist,fog,and haze)in northern Xinjiang and dust-related events(dust storms,blowing sand,and floating dust)in southern Xinjiang,with transitional characteristics observed in eastern Xinjiang.Compared with manual observations,the instrument measurements significantly improved the fine-scale low-visibility phenomenon identification process.On the basis of the instrument observation data,spatial-dimension analysis results indicated that low-visibility phenomena in Xinjiang were significantly influenced by terrain factors.Constrained by the Tianshan Mountains,haze-like phenomena formed a core agglomeration area in northern Xinjiang,whereas dust-and sand-related phenomena radiated outward,with the Taklimakan Desert at the center.Moreover,the gripping effect of the terrain promoted dust transmission along low-altitude channels.Temporally,fog-and haze-related phenomena occurred mainly during autumn and winter,and the proportion of these events decreased from 76.7%to 55.1%.The fog-and haze-related phenomena demonstrated a U-shaped rebound trend,while the proportion of mist phenomena decreased by 34.2%.Dust storms occurred during spring,accounting for 23.3%to 44.9%of all storms.Instrument measurement technology has the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolutions and multiparameter coordination but provides a limited dust-haze mixed-pollution identification capacity.This study provides crucial reference data for enhancing the understanding of low-visibility events in Xinjiang and the potential responses while improving the accuracy of pollution source tracking and meteorological process diagnosis tasks.
文摘With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence(GenAI),the task of story visualization,which transforms natural language narratives into coherent and consistent image sequences,has attracted growing research attention.However,existing methods still face limitations in balancing multi-frame character consistency and generation efficiency,which restricts their feasibility for large-scale practical applications.To address this issue,this study proposes a modular cloud-based distributed system built on Stable Diffusion.By separating the character generation and story generation processes,and integratingmulti-feature control techniques,a cachingmechanism,and an asynchronous task queue architecture,the system enhances generation efficiency and scalability.The experimental design includes both automated and human evaluations of character consistency,performance testing,and multinode simulation.The results show that the proposed system outperforms the baseline model StoryGen in both CLIP-I and human evaluation metrics.In terms of performance,under the experimental environment of this study,dual-node deployment reduces average waiting time by approximately 19%,while the four-node simulation further reduces it by up to 65%.Overall,this study demonstrates the advantages of cloud-distributed GenAI in maintaining character consistency and reducing generation latency,highlighting its potential value inmulti-user collaborative story visualization applications.
文摘As global climate change intensifies,alpine plants are facing dual pressures of habitat loss and rapid environmental degradation.As one of the world's most biodiverse countries,China's potential shifts in alpine plant distribution and their profound impact on fragile ecosystems have become a focus of ecological research and conservation efforts,with increasing urgency.Meconopsis,a typical representative of Chinese alpine plants,exhibits diverse adaptability,making it an ideal model for studying how alpine species respond to extreme environmental changes.A lack of comprehensive genus-level analyses may hinder the development of long-term conservation and management strategies.Given the genus's ecological importance,vulnerability,and the risk of trait homogenization in genus-level modeling,there is an urgent need to assess its future distribution patterns,migration trends,and adaptive mechanisms based on habitat classification.In this study,we employed the Maxent model,integrating multidimensional environmental variables,to develop genus-level models and representative habitat-based models(forest,meadows,and periglacial).Results indicate a northwestward expansion and southeastward contraction of suitable habitats under future climate scenarios,with migration patterns in latitude and elevation showing stage-specific characteristics.Key environmental factors varied across models but were mostly associated with seasonal growth traits and microhabitat conditions,highlighting both the universal ecological requirements and niche differentiation within Meconopsis.Based on these findings,we propose a dynamic conservation strategy framework informed by stage-specific responses and habitat differences.Future efforts should focus on incorporating alpine-specific environmental variables and optimizing specimen collection strategies to enhance model performance and support landscape planning and biodiversity conservation.

文摘Tajikistan represents a core region of the biodiversity hotspot in Central Asian mountains and has exceptional vascular plant diversity.However,the species diversity of the country faces urgent conservation challenges.There has been a lack of a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment to inform strategic conservation planning.Therefore,this study integrated 4 key biodiversity indices including species richness(SR),phylogenetic diversity(PD),threatened species richness(TSR),and endemic species richness(ESR)to map species diversity distribution patterns,identify conservation gaps,and elucidate their effects of climatic factors.This study revealed that species diversity shows a clear trend of decreasing from the western region to the eastern region of Tajikistan.The central–western mountains(specifically the Gissar-Darvasian and Zeravshanian regions)emerge as irreplaceable biodiversity hotspots.However,we found a severe spatial mismatch between these priority areas and the existing protected areas(PAs).Protection coverage for all hotspots was alarmingly low,ranging from 31.00%to 38.00%.Consequently,a critical 64.80%of integrated priority areas fall outside of the current PAs,representing a major conservation gap.This study identified precipitation seasonality and isothermality as the principal drivers,collectively explaining over 50.00%of the diversity variation and suggesting high vulnerability to hydrological shifts.Furthermore,we detected significant geographic sampling bias in the public biodiversity databases,with the most critical hotspot being systematically under-sampled.This study provides a robust scientific basis for conservation action,highlighting the urgent need to strategically expand PAs in the under-protected southwestern region and to mitigate critical sampling gaps through targeted data digitization and field surveys.These measures are indispensable for securing Tajikistan’s unique biodiversity and achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3(“30×30 Protection”).
