It is shown that the maximum absorption peaks of the ro-tamers have difference of nearly 30 nm both in vacuum and in solutions. The population of the rotamers changes a lot in different solvents. Based on the geometries optimized by Hartree-Fock method, the Maxwell-Boltzmann averaged absorption has been calculated and the maximum absorption peak is in good agreement with experiment. It indicates that the bond length alternation can have an important effect on the optical spectra.展开更多

Because of owning 4f electron characteristics and alternation valence, Ce treatment presented the highest enhancement in light absorption, energy transfer from LHC Ⅱ to PS Ⅱ, excitation energy distribution from PS Ⅰ to PS Ⅱ, and fluorescence quantum yield around 680 nm. Compared with Ce treatment, Nd treatment resulted in relatively lower enhancement in these physiological indices, as Nd did not have alternation valence. La treatment presented the lowest enhancement, as La did not have either 4f electron or alternation valence. The increase in activities of whole chain electron transport, PS ⅡDCPIP photoreduction, and oxygen evolution of chloroplasts was of the following order: Ce〉Nd 〉La〉 control. However, the photoreduction activities of spinach PS I almost did not change with La, Ce, or Nd treatments. The results suggested that 4f electron characteristics and alternation valence of rare earths had a close relationship with photosynthesis improvement.展开更多

Thes...Wettability alternation phenomena is considered one of the most important enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mechanisms in the chemical flooding process and induced by the adsorption of surfactant on the rock surface. These phenomena are studied by a mesoscopic method named as dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). Both the alteration phenomena of water-wet to oil-wet and that of oil-wet to water-wet are simulated based on reasonable definition of interaction parameters between beads. The wetting hysteresis phenomenon and the process of oil-drops detachment from rock surfaces with different wettability are simulated by adding long-range external forces on the fluid particles. The simulation results show that, the oil drop is liable to spread on the oil-wetting surface and move in the form of liquid film flow, whereas it is likely to move as a whole on the waterwetting surface. There are the same phenomena occuring in wettability-alternated cases. The results also show that DPD method provides a feasible approach to the problems of seepage flow with physicochemical phenomena and can be used to study the mechanism of EOR of chemical flooding.展开更多

On the other hand, plant mitochondria obeyed another different rule after their classification. Complete single DNA strand sequences obtained from chloroplasts, plant mitochondria, and animal mitochondria, were divided into the coding and non-coding regions. The non-coding region, which was the complementary coding region on the reverse strand, was incorporated as a coding region in the forward strand. When the nucleotide contents of the coding region or non-coding regions were plotted against the composition of the four nucleotides in the complete single DNA strand, it was determined that chloroplast and plant mitochondrial DNA obeyed Chargaff’s second parity rule in both the coding and non-coding regions. However, animal mitochondrial DNA deviated from this rule. In chloroplast and plant mitochondrial DNA, which obey Chargaff’s second parity rule, the lines of regression for G (purine) and C (pyrimidine) intersected with regression lines for A (purine) and T (pyrimidines), respectively, at around 0.250 in all cases. On the other hand, in animal mitochondrial DNA, which deviates from Chargaff’s second parity rule, only regression lines due to the content of homonucleotides or their analogs in the coding or non-coding region against those in the complete single DNA strand intersected at around 0.250 at the horizontal axis. Conversely, the intersection of the two lines of regression (G and A or C and T) against the contents of heteronucleotides or their analogs shifted from 0.25 in both coding and non-coding regions. Nucleotide alternations in chloroplasts and plant mitochondria are strictly regulated, not only by the proportion of homonucleotides and their analogs, but also by the heteronucleotides and their analogs. They are strictly regulated in animal mitochondria only by the content of homonucleotides and their analogs.展开更多

To better identify the characteristics of flood-drought alternations, we proposed a modified dry-wet abrupt alternation index (DWAAI) and applied the new method in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin (YRB-ML) to analyze the long-term spatio-temporal characteristics of dry-wet abrupt alterna- tion (DWAA) events based on the daily precipitation observations at 75 rainfall stations in summer from 1960 to 2015. We found that the DWAA events have been spreading in the study area with higher frequency and intensity since 1960. In particular, the DWAA events mainly occurred in May and June in the northwest of the YRB-ML, including Hanjiang River Basin, the middle reaches of the YRB, north of Dongting Lake and northwest of Poyang Lake. In addition, we also analyzed the impact of El Nifio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on DWAA events in the YRB-ML. The results showed that around 41.04% of DWAA events occurred during the declining stages of La Nifia or within the subsequent 8 months after La Nina, which implies that La Nina events could be predictive signals of DWAA events. Besides, significant negative correlations have been found between the modified DWAAI values of all the rainfall stations and the sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region within the 6 months prior to the DWAA events, particularly for the Poyang Lake watershed and the middle reaches of the YRB. This study has significant implications on the flood and drought control and water resources management in the YRB-ML under the challenge of future climate change.展开更多

Th...The chloride ion transmission model considering diffusion and convection was established respectively for different zones in concrete by analyzing chloride ion transmission mechanism under the dryingwetting cycles. The finite difference method was adopted to solve the model. The equation of chloride ion transmission model in the convection and diffusion zone of concrete was discreted by the group explicit scheme with right single point (GER method) and the equation in diffusion zone was discreted by FTCS difference scheme. According to relative humidity characteristics in concrete under drying-wetting cycles, the seepage velocity equation was formulated based on Kelvin Equation and Darcy's Law. The time-variant equations of chloride ion concentration of concrete surface and the boundary surface of the convection and diffusion zone were established. Based on the software MATLAB the numerical calculation was carried out by using the model and basic material parameters from the experiments. The calculation of chloride ion concentration distribution in concrete is in good agreement with the drying-wetting cycles experiments. It can be shown that the chloride ion transmission model and the seepage velocity equation are reasonable and practical. Studies have shown that the chloride ion transmission in concrete considering convection and diffusion under the drying-wetting cycles is the better correlation with the actual situation than that only considering the diffusion.展开更多

文摘Fissured clays exhibit unique geotechnical behaviors,with the stiffness characteristics evolving dynamically in response to environmental changes.To address this issue,reported here is a systematic assessment of how dryingewetting(DW)cycles affect the small-strain stiffness characteristics of fissured clay.Resonant column tests are taken to examine the nonlinear attenuation behavior of the small-strain shear modulus(SSSM)and damping ratio of fissured clay under various DW cycle and consolidation pressure(25e200 kPa)conditions.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and computed tomography(CT)are employed to reveal the microstructure of fissured clay.The HardineDrnevich(H-D)model is used to describe the decay law of its SSSM,and the small strain stiffness characteristics of fissured soil are analyzed in view of damage mechanics.The results show that the SSSM of the fissured clay decreases as the DWcycles increase,with the greatest attenuation at original soil state.The damping ratio exhibits an incremental trend with escalating strain and a higher number of DW cycles.Regarding damage,DW cycles can lead to the formation of microcracks in the sample,and the aggregates disperse into smaller aggregates,which then aggregates again,resulting in structural damage.The damage variables of the samples under various confining pressures and DW cycles are analyzed based on the principle of strain damage.Finally,the volume changes and the distribution of different pore sizes obtained through CT are analyzed to investigate the stiffness attenuation under DW cycles.Additionally,the study examines the propagation direction of secondary cracks induced by primary fissures,which will play an important role in reduction of the stiffness.Our investigations contribute to understanding of soil mechanics and practical applications in areas where fissured clay is prevalent.

文摘Numerous slope failures have been reported during periods of water level fluctuations.Understanding the influence of water on the creep behavior of joints is essential for evaluating the long-term stability of slopes.This study focuses on the effects of drying-wetting cycles and soaking conditions on the long-term behavior of sandstone joints.A total of 12 multi-stage shear creep tests are carried out on sandstone joints subjected to varying drying-wetting cycles under both soaking and un-soaking conditions.Based on the experimental results,the influences of drying-wetting cycles as well as soaking conditions on the microstructure,shear creep displacement,strength,and failure morphologies of sandstone joints are investigated comprehensively.Results indicate that increasing drying-wetting cycles not only yields larger shear creep displacements but also leads to a negative exponential decrease in the strength of sandstone joints.Besides,soaking conditions strongly influence the creep behavior of sandstone joints.The failure strength and long-term strength of sandstone joints for soaked samples decrease by 13.6%–29.0%and 19.4%–37.5%,respectively,as compared to unsoaked samples.Furthermore,four distinct stages in the shear creep process were identified according to the results obtained from multi-stage shear creep tests and computerized tomography scans,and three creep failure modes of sandstone joints are thus determined.Finally,the influence mechanism of drying-wetting cycles and soaking conditions on the creep failure modes of sandstone joints is revealed.Drying-wetting cycles and soaking conditions diminish the influence of asperities on the shear creep behavior of joints,thereby reducing the resistance of joints to long-term deformation.

文摘Invasive macroalgae are recognized as one of the greatest threats to local marine ecology and economy.Chaetomorpha valida is an invasive species in China,originally found in Dalian City,Liaoning Province,and has now invaded southward to seas such as Rongcheng City,Shandong Province.Its overgrowth has seriously damaged the local mariculture industry.Based on two strains of C.valida isolated in our previous study,this study explores the effects of temperature and irradiance on their growth and reproduction under laboratory conditions.The results show that the suitable temperature ranges are primarily 21−29℃.The optimal temperature is 25℃for gametophytic growth and sporophytic asexual reproduction,and 29℃for sporophytic growth and gametophytic sexual reproduction.And there is no significant effect of irradiance on their growth and reproduction.Meanwhile,the suitable temperature ranges and optimum irradiance for the growth and reproduction of both strains are largely similar,with only slight differences in the suitable ones for sporophytic asexual reproduction and gametophytic growth.Accordingly,the effect of temperature on the isomorphic generation alternation in C.valida was analyzed,as well as the dynamics of its generation alternation and invasive potential for its environmental adaptation in the northern and southern seas of China.This will help to understand its dynamic pattern spreading from the north to south in China,and also be an important reference for understanding the generation alternation characteristics,invasions and prevention of the outbreaks of other green tidal algae.

文摘Since the 21st century,the Huang–Huai–Hai River Basin(HHHRB)in China has experienced increased frequency and severity of drought–flood abrupt alternation(DFAA)events during early summer,characterized by droughts in June followed by floods in July.The 2024 event was the most severe since 1981.This study demonstrates that such compound extreme events are closely linked to anomalous subseasonal evolution of large-scale atmospheric circulation.During the drought phase,the East Asian subtropical westerly jet(EAJ)shifts southward,and the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH)exhibits anomalous strengthening with its western ridge line displaced southward.The flood phase is characterized by acceleration of the EAJ,westward extension of the WPSH,and enhanced southwestern moisture transport from the western Pacific.Beyond these typical features,the 2024 early summer circulation exhibited unique characteristics:Anomalous northeastward intensification of the WPSH facilitated merged moisture influx from both the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific along the southeast pathway into the HHHRB in July,resulting in the highest net moisture inflow at the southern boundary of the HHHRB since 1981.The synergistic effects of multiple factors primarily explain the exceptionally intense DFAA event in 2024.

文摘Rotational isomerism effects on the optical spectra of a push-pull nonlinear optical chro-mophore 2-dicyanomethylen-3-cyano-4-f2-[E-(4-N,N-di(2-acetoxyethyl)-amino)-phenylene-(3,4-dibutyl)-thien-5]-E-vinylg-5,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (FTC) in a few solvents have been studied using the time-dependent density functional theory in combination with the polarizable continuum model. It is shown that the maximum absorption peaks of the ro-tamers have difference of nearly 30 nm both in vacuum and in solutions. The population of the rotamers changes a lot in different solvents. Based on the geometries optimized by Hartree-Fock method, the Maxwell-Boltzmann averaged absorption has been calculated and the maximum absorption peak is in good agreement with experiment. It indicates that the bond length alternation can have an important effect on the optical spectra.

文摘Chloroplasts were isolated from spinach treated with taCl3, CeCl3, and NdCl3. Because of owning 4f electron characteristics and alternation valence, Ce treatment presented the highest enhancement in light absorption, energy transfer from LHC Ⅱ to PS Ⅱ, excitation energy distribution from PS Ⅰ to PS Ⅱ, and fluorescence quantum yield around 680 nm. Compared with Ce treatment, Nd treatment resulted in relatively lower enhancement in these physiological indices, as Nd did not have alternation valence. La treatment presented the lowest enhancement, as La did not have either 4f electron or alternation valence. The increase in activities of whole chain electron transport, PS ⅡDCPIP photoreduction, and oxygen evolution of chloroplasts was of the following order: Ce〉Nd 〉La〉 control. However, the photoreduction activities of spinach PS I almost did not change with La, Ce, or Nd treatments. The results suggested that 4f electron characteristics and alternation valence of rare earths had a close relationship with photosynthesis improvement.

文摘Wettability alternation phenomena is considered one of the most important enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mechanisms in the chemical flooding process and induced by the adsorption of surfactant on the rock surface. These phenomena are studied by a mesoscopic method named as dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). Both the alteration phenomena of water-wet to oil-wet and that of oil-wet to water-wet are simulated based on reasonable definition of interaction parameters between beads. The wetting hysteresis phenomenon and the process of oil-drops detachment from rock surfaces with different wettability are simulated by adding long-range external forces on the fluid particles. The simulation results show that, the oil drop is liable to spread on the oil-wetting surface and move in the form of liquid film flow, whereas it is likely to move as a whole on the waterwetting surface. There are the same phenomena occuring in wettability-alternated cases. The results also show that DPD method provides a feasible approach to the problems of seepage flow with physicochemical phenomena and can be used to study the mechanism of EOR of chemical flooding.

文摘Based on seawater immersion,drying-wetting cycles,carbonation and drying-wetting cycles for coral aggregate sea-water concrete(CASC)with different strength grades,the effect of carbonation and drying-wetting cycles on chloride diffusion be-havior of CASC is studied.The results show that the free surface chloride concentration(Cs),free chloride diffusion coefficient(Df)and time-dependent index(m)of CASC in the drying-wetting cycles is obviously higher than that in seawater immersion.The Df and m of CASC of carbonation and drying-wetting cycles is higher than that in the drying-wetting cycles.Carbonation increases the Df and m of CASC,which is against CASC to resist chloride corrosion.The corrosion possibility of CASC structures in different ex-posed areas is as follows:splash zone(carbonation and drying-wetting cycles)>tidal zone(drying-wetting cycles)>underwater zone(seawater immersion).Besides,the chloride diffusion rate of C65-CASC is 17.8%-63.4%higher than that of C65-ordinary aggre-gate concrete(OAC)in seawater immersion(underwater zone).Therefore,anti-corrosion measures should be adopted to improve the service life of CASC structure in the oceanic environment.

文摘Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation(EICP)is an emanating,eco-friendly and potentially sound technique that has presented promise in various geotechnical applications.However,the durability and microscopic characteristics of EICP-treated specimens against the impact of drying-wetting(D-W)cycles is under-explored yet.This study investigates the evolution of mechanical behavior and pore charac-teristics of EICP-treated sea sand subjected to D-W cycles.The uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)tests,synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography(micro-CT),and three-dimensional(3D)recon-struction of CT images were performed to study the multiscale evolution characteristics of EICP-reinforced sea sand under the effect of D-W cycles.The potential correlations between microstructure characteristics and macro-mechanical property deterioration were investigated using gray relational analysis(GRA).Results showed that the UCS of EICP-treated specimens decreases by 63.7% after 15 D-W cycles.The proportion of mesopores gradually decreases whereas the proportion of macropores in-creases due to the exfoliated calcium carbonate with increasing number of D-W cycles.The micro-structure in EICP-reinforced sea sand was gradually disintegrated,resulting in increasing pore size and development of pore shape from ellipsoidal to columnar and branched.The gray relational degree suggested that the weight loss rate and UCS deterioration were attributed to the development of branched pores with a size of 100-1000 m m under the action of D-W cycles.Overall,the results in this study provide a useful guidancee for the long-term stability and evolution characteristics of EICP-reinforced sea sand under D-W weathering conditions.

文摘Cracks resulting from cyclic wetting and drying of expansive soils create discontinuities and anisotropy in the soil.The representative elementary volume(REV)defined by the continuous-media theory cannot be applied to cracked expansive soils that are considered discontinuous media.In this study,direct shear tests of three different scales(30 cm^(2),900 cm^(2),1963 cm^(2))and crack image analysis were carried out on undisturbed soil samples subjected to drying-wetting cycles in-situ.The REV size of expansive soil was investigated using the crack intensity factor(CIF)and soil cohesion.The results show that soil cohesion decreased with increasing sample area,and the development of secondary cracks further exacerbated the size effect of sample on cohesion of the soil.As shrinkage cracks developed,the REV size of the soil gradually increased and plateaued after 3−5 cycles.Under the same drying-wetting cycle conditions,the REV size determined using soil cohesion(REV-C)is 1.75 to 2.97 times the REV size determined using CIF(REV-CIF).Under the influence of shrinkage cracks,the average CIF is positively correlated with the REV size determined using different maximum permissible errors,with the coefficient of correlation greater than 0.9.A method for determining the REV-C based on crack image analysis is proposed,and the REV-C of expansive soil in the study area under different exposure times is given.
文摘In our previous study, complete single DNA strands which were obtained from nuclei, chloroplasts and plant mitochondria obeyed Chargaff’s second parity rule, although those which were obtained from animal mitochondria deviated from the rule. On the other hand, plant mitochondria obeyed another different rule after their classification. Complete single DNA strand sequences obtained from chloroplasts, plant mitochondria, and animal mitochondria, were divided into the coding and non-coding regions. The non-coding region, which was the complementary coding region on the reverse strand, was incorporated as a coding region in the forward strand. When the nucleotide contents of the coding region or non-coding regions were plotted against the composition of the four nucleotides in the complete single DNA strand, it was determined that chloroplast and plant mitochondrial DNA obeyed Chargaff’s second parity rule in both the coding and non-coding regions. However, animal mitochondrial DNA deviated from this rule. In chloroplast and plant mitochondrial DNA, which obey Chargaff’s second parity rule, the lines of regression for G (purine) and C (pyrimidine) intersected with regression lines for A (purine) and T (pyrimidines), respectively, at around 0.250 in all cases. On the other hand, in animal mitochondrial DNA, which deviates from Chargaff’s second parity rule, only regression lines due to the content of homonucleotides or their analogs in the coding or non-coding region against those in the complete single DNA strand intersected at around 0.250 at the horizontal axis. Conversely, the intersection of the two lines of regression (G and A or C and T) against the contents of heteronucleotides or their analogs shifted from 0.25 in both coding and non-coding regions. Nucleotide alternations in chloroplasts and plant mitochondria are strictly regulated, not only by the proportion of homonucleotides and their analogs, but also by the heteronucleotides and their analogs. They are strictly regulated in animal mitochondria only by the content of homonucleotides and their analogs.

文摘In the present study,we retrospectively analyzed 105382 prescriptions of antipyretic drugs for children(0–14 years of age)in the outpatient and emergency departments of Ningbo Women and Children’s Hospital from January to December 2019.Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are relatively safe and the most commonly used drugs in daily life.Due to different dosage forms,there are acetaminophen suspension drops,acetaminophen oral solution,ibuprofen suspension,and ibuprofen suppositories for children.Through investigation,we found that the age of antipyretic drugs used by children in our hospital ranged from 3 months to 14 years old,which could be divided into two groups:single drug use and alternating use of ibuprofen and acetaminophen,with an alternating use rate of 3.19%.There were differences between the two groups in terms of age,gender,the proportion of emergency departments use,and the amount of single prescription(P<0.05).The age of the alternating use group was younger,and the male proportion,the proportion of emergency departments use,single prescription amount of the alternating use group were higher.In the alternating use group,ibuprofen and acetaminophen of different dosage forms were used alternatively.After pair comparison analysis,they only had an age difference(P<0.008),which was in line with the principle that different dosage forms are suitable for different ages.The method of alternation with ibuprofen and acetaminophen is mainly used in the emergency departments and children of younger age because most of the children have a refractory fever,which is complicated and changes relatively fast.There was no record of adverse reactions about alternation of ibuprofen and acetaminophen in the software system of adverse reactions.However,this study was a retrospective analysis,and there were risks of missing records.Therefore,alternating use of ibuprofen and acetaminophen still couldn’t ignore the risk of adverse reactions.

文摘Based on the drying-wetting cycles experiment and the carbonation-drying-wetting cycles experiment for coral aggregate seawater concrete(CASC)with different strength grades,the effects of carbonation-drying-wetting on the durability of CASC are studied with the surface state,mass loss rate,relative dynamic elastic modulus,ultrasonic wave velocity and cube compressive strength as indices.Results show that the mass loss rate of CASC increases gradually with the increase in cycle times in the drying-wetting and carbonation-drying-wetting cycles.The mass loss rate increases relatively slowly at the initial stage but it increases remarkably after 10 cycles.The relative dynamic elastic modulus and ultrasonic wave velocity decrease gradually with the increase in cycle times.After 6 cycles,the decrease rate of the relative dynamic elastic modulus and ultrasonic wave velocity of CASC tends to be flat and the surface is slightly damaged.Compared with the initial 28 d cube compressive strength,the cube compressive strength of CASC decreases by 8.8%to 11.0%.Drying-wetting cycles and carbonation can accelerate seawater erosion on CASC,and drying-wetting cycles result in salting-out and accelerate the destruction of concrete.Therefore,the carbonation-drying-wetting accelerates the destruction of CASC.

文摘During recent decades, more frequent flood-drought alternations have been seen in China as a result of global climate change and intensive human activities, which have sig- nificant implications on water and food security. To better identify the characteristics of flood-drought alternations, we proposed a modified dry-wet abrupt alternation index (DWAAI) and applied the new method in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin (YRB-ML) to analyze the long-term spatio-temporal characteristics of dry-wet abrupt alterna- tion (DWAA) events based on the daily precipitation observations at 75 rainfall stations in summer from 1960 to 2015. We found that the DWAA events have been spreading in the study area with higher frequency and intensity since 1960. In particular, the DWAA events mainly occurred in May and June in the northwest of the YRB-ML, including Hanjiang River Basin, the middle reaches of the YRB, north of Dongting Lake and northwest of Poyang Lake. In addition, we also analyzed the impact of El Nifio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on DWAA events in the YRB-ML. The results showed that around 41.04% of DWAA events occurred during the declining stages of La Nifia or within the subsequent 8 months after La Nina, which implies that La Nina events could be predictive signals of DWAA events. Besides, significant negative correlations have been found between the modified DWAAI values of all the rainfall stations and the sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region within the 6 months prior to the DWAA events, particularly for the Poyang Lake watershed and the middle reaches of the YRB. This study has significant implications on the flood and drought control and water resources management in the YRB-ML under the challenge of future climate change.

文摘The chloride ion transmission model considering diffusion and convection was established respectively for different zones in concrete by analyzing chloride ion transmission mechanism under the dryingwetting cycles. The finite difference method was adopted to solve the model. The equation of chloride ion transmission model in the convection and diffusion zone of concrete was discreted by the group explicit scheme with right single point (GER method) and the equation in diffusion zone was discreted by FTCS difference scheme. According to relative humidity characteristics in concrete under drying-wetting cycles, the seepage velocity equation was formulated based on Kelvin Equation and Darcy's Law. The time-variant equations of chloride ion concentration of concrete surface and the boundary surface of the convection and diffusion zone were established. Based on the software MATLAB the numerical calculation was carried out by using the model and basic material parameters from the experiments. The calculation of chloride ion concentration distribution in concrete is in good agreement with the drying-wetting cycles experiments. It can be shown that the chloride ion transmission model and the seepage velocity equation are reasonable and practical. Studies have shown that the chloride ion transmission in concrete considering convection and diffusion under the drying-wetting cycles is the better correlation with the actual situation than that only considering the diffusion.

文摘Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation(EICP)has emerged promising in various geotechnical applications,and has been presented as an alternative to the traditional cementitious materials-based ground improvement method.However,the study on mechanical properties and disintegration behavior of EICP-reinforced sea sand subjected to drying-wetting cycles are limited.This study investigated the mechanical properties and disintegration behavior of EICP-reinforced sea sand against the impact of drying-wetting(D-W)cycles.The uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)tests were performed to discuss the effect of drying-wetting cycles on the mechanical behavior of EICP-treated sea sand.The disintegration tests were conducted on EICP-treated sea sand to investigate the disintegration resistance of bio-cemented samples with various cementation levels.The microstructures of samples before and after disintegration were examined to disclose the disintegration mechanisms of EICP-reinforced sea sand.D-W cycles significantly affect the mechanical properties of EICP-reinforced sea sand,with UCS decreasing by 63.7%after undergoing 15 D-W cycles.The disintegration resistance index of specimens with a lower cementation level decreases significantly under the effect of D-W treatment.The higher disintegration resistance of specimens with higher cementation can be attributed to more crystals with better crystallinity formed in the contact point between sand particles within specimen.The crystals formed by soybean husk urease are mainly calcite and the crystallinity of spherical calcites would gradually change into larger rhombic calcite with further bio-grouting.The crystal with poor crystallinity is susceptible to the effect of D-W treatment,resulting in the obvious disintegration of EICP-reinforced sea sand.Overall,this study is expected to provide useful guidance on the long-term stability and drying-wetting disintegration mechanisms of EICP-reinforced sea sand.

文摘The diagenesis and diagenetic facies of shale reservoirs in Lucaogou Formation of Jimusar Sag were studied by means of microscopic observation and identification of ordinary thin sections and cast thin sections,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope and electron probe tests.The results show that alkaline and acidic diagenetic processes occurred alternately during the deposition of Permian Lucaogou Formation in Jimusar Sag.The evolution of porosity in the shale reservoirs was influenced by compaction and alternate alkaline and acidic diagenetic processes jointly,and has gone through three stages,namely,stage of porosity reduction and increase caused by alkaline compaction,stage of porosity increase caused by acid dissolution,and stage of porosity increase and reduction caused by alkaline dissolution.Correspondingly,three secondary pore zones developed in Lucaogou Formation.The shale reservoirs are divided into three diagenetic facies:tuff residual intergranular pore-dissolution pore facies,tuff organic micrite dolomite mixed pore facies,and micrite alga-dolomite intercrystalline pore facies.With wide distribution,good pore structure and high oil content,the first two facies are diagenetic facies of favorable reservoirs in Lucaogou Formation.The research results provide a basis for better understanding and exploration and development of the Lucaogou Formation shale reservoirs.
