The results show that, during the seismogenic process, the degree of ground resistivity anisotropy (S) displays h process of 'normal' → 'abnormal strengthening(amplitude, range)' → 'abnormal weakening'→ 'earthquake occurrence'→ 'normal'. The earthquake wouldoccur at the time when the S value has entered the late stage of strengthening and turns to weaken and in the gradient belt on the margin ofS anomaly region. The dynamic evolution pattern ofS reflects the changes of the tectonicstress field during the seismogenic process. Therefore, it would be possible to trace the process of earthquake generation and occurrence from the dynamic evolution pattern ofS so as to service eaJ'thquake prediction.展开更多

In this work, firstly, we assume cities as sites, flight between two cities as an edge between two sites, and build a dynamic evolution model for airline networks by improving the BA model, in which the conception of attractiveness plays a decisive role in the course of evolution of the networks. To this end, we discuss whether the attractiveness depends on the site label s or not separately, finally we obtain analytic degree distribution. As a result, if the attractiveness of a site is independent of the degree distribution of sites, which will follow the double power law, otherwise, it will be scale-free. Moreover, degree distribution depends on the parameters of the models, and some parameters aye more sensitive than others.展开更多

In the open and changeable environment on the Internet, it is of great significance to research a system flexible and capable in dynamic evolution that can find a collaboration method for agents which can be used in dynamic evolution process. With such a method, agents accomplish tasks for an overall target and at the same time, the collaborative relationship of agents can be adjusted with the change of environment. A method of task decomposition and collaboration of agents by improved contract net protocol is introduced. Finally, analysis on the result of the experiments is performed to verify the improved contract net protocol can greatly increase the efficiency of communication and collaboration in multi-agent system.展开更多

Various numbers of NBS-LRR genes were identified from Arabidopsis lyrata (198), A. thaliana (165), Brassica rapa (204), Capsella rubella (127), Thellungiella salsuginea (88), and C. papaya (51). In each genome, the identified NBS-LRR genes were found to be unevenly distributed among chromosomes and most of them were clustered together. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that, before and after Brassicaceae speciation events, both toll/interleukin-1 receptor-NBS-LRR (TNL) genes and non-toll/interleukin-1 receptor-NBS-LRR (nTNL) genes exhibited a pattern of first expansion and then contraction, suggesting that both subclasses of NBS-LRR genes were responding to pathogen pressures synchronically. Further, by examining the gain/loss of TNL and nTNL genes at different evolutionary nodes, this study revealed that both events often occurred more drastically in TNL genes. Finally, the phylogeny of nTNL genes suggested that this NBS-LRR subclass is composed of two separate ancient gene types: RPW8-NBS-LRR and Coiled-coiI-N BS-LRR.展开更多

Using this index and choosing the internationally accepted ground resistivity data before the Tangshan M =7.8 earthquake of July 28, 1976, the features of dynamic evolution pattern of R ρ(t) are studied. The results show that: ① about 10~9 months before earthquake, the ground resistivity in a certain range around the epicentral region begins to display the anomaly of accelerating descent, and the rate of descent is higher in the epicentral region than in surrounding areas; ② with the shortening of countdown before earthquake, the R ρ(t) value in epicentral region increases gradually (ground resistivity value decreases at an increasing rate); ③ the R ρ(t) value has the epicentral area as a center and its contour lines propagate towards surrounding areas with the shortening of countdown before earthquake; ④after the R ρ(t) value in epicentral region has descended at increasing rate to reach an extremity [ R ρ(t) = (7.0], it turns to descend at decreasing rate (2~3 months) and earthquake occurs when it accelerates again. Meanwhile, earthquake occurs when the contour lines of R ρ(t) stop propagating towards surrounding areas and turn to shrink back (2~3 months later). Its physical process can be explained by the″ swollen hypothesis″ of Prof. Fu and the theory of ″Slip-weakening and rockmass instability″ of Mei, Niu, et al ..展开更多

In this model, each cooperative agent and noncooperative agent are endowed with integer values of cooperative spirits and nonco- operative spirits, respectively. The cooperative spirits of a cooperative agent aggregate and the noncooperative spirits of a noncooperative agent aggregate change via four competing microscopic reaction schemes: the win-win reaction between two cooperative agents, the lose-lose reaction between two noncooperative agents, the win-lose reaction between a coop- erative agent and a noncooperative agent (equivalent to the migration of spirits from cooperative agents to noncooperative agents), and the cooperative agent catalyzed decline of noncooperative spirits. Based on the generalized Smoluchowski's rate equation approach, we investigate the dynamic evolution behaviors such as the total cooperative spirits of all coop- erative agents and the total noncooperative spirits of all noncooperative agents. The effects of the three main groups of competition on the dynamic evolution are revealed. These include: (i) the competition between the lose-lose reaction and the win-lose reaction, which gives rise to respectively the decrease and increase in the noncooperative agent spirits; (ii) the competition between the win-win reaction and the win-lose reaction, which gives rise to respectively the increase and decrease in the cooperative agent spirits; (iii) the competition between the win-lose reaction and the catalyzed-decline reaction, which gives rise to respectively the increase and decrease in the noncooperative agent spirits.展开更多

The dynamical evolution of this system has been solved and the nonclassical features relevant to the second-order and high-order squeezing have been obtained in an analytical form. For the first time, in contrast to the existing result, we have confirmed for the phonon field that the attractive two-mode squeezed interaction will not only result in the second-order and high-order squeezing in X-component with the time evolution, but also in time average. Furthermore, the phenomena of collapse and revival of inversion will occur as well in the time evolution of the average number of photon and phonon, as also in the second-order and high-order squeezing of photon field, particularly, in the high-order squeezing of phonon field.展开更多

In t...The mineral rock salts present in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam basin exhibit high solubilities in water. In addition, the multicomponent underground brine exhibits a high salinity and is easily precipitated. In the natural state, brine transport in the brine layer is extremely slow, and the brine is in a relatively stable chemical equilibrium state with the rock salt media. However, during mining, both the seepage and the chemical fields fluctuate significantly, thereby disrupting the equilibrium and leading to variations in the chemical composition and dynamic characteristics of the brine. Therefore, we selected underground brine from the Mahai Salt Lake, collecting a total of 183 brine samples over three stages of mining(i.e., the early stage of underground brine extraction, the initial stage of mining, and the later stage of mining). Using a range of analytical techniques, the chemical dynamics of the underground brine water and its evolution were systematically studied. We found that evaporation and enrichment were the main mechanisms of underground brine evolution in the Mahai Salt Lake, with cation exchange and mineral dissolution/precipitation being key factors in determining the dynamic characteristics and evolution of the brine.展开更多

文摘This study aims to elucidate the dynamic evolution mechanism of the fracturing fracture system during the exploration and development of complex oil and gas reservoirs.By integrating methods of rock mechanical testing,logging calculation,and seismic inversion technology,we obtained the current insitu stress characteristics of a single well and rock mechanical parameters.Simultaneously,significant controlling factors of rock mechanical properties were analyzed.Subsequently,by coupling hydraulic fracturing physical experiments with finite element numerical simulation,three different fracturing models were configured:single-cluster,double-cluster,and triple-cluster perforations.Combined with acoustic emission technology,the fracture initiation mode and evolution characteristics during the loading process were determined.The results indicate the following findings:(1)The extension direction and length of the fracture are significantly controlled by the direction of the maximum horizontal principal stress.(2)Areas with poor cementation and compactness exhibit complex fracture morphology,prone to generating network fractures.(3)The interlayer development of fracturing fractures is controlled by the strata occurrence.(4)Increasing the displacement of fracturing fluid enlarges the fracturing fracture length and height.This research provides theoretical support and effective guidance for hydraulic fracturing design in tight oil and gas reservoirs.

文摘As the ability of a single agent is limited while information and resources in multi-agent systems are distributed, cooperation is necessary for agents to accomplish a complex task. In the open and changeable environment on the Internet, it is of great significance to research a system flexible and capable in dynamic evolution that can find a collaboration method for agents which can be used in dynamic evolution process. With such a method, agents accomplish tasks for an overall target and at the same time, the collaborative relationship of agents can be adjusted with the change of environment. A method of task decomposition and collaboration of agents by improved contract net protocol is introduced. Finally, analysis on the result of the experiments is performed to verify the improved contract net protocol can greatly increase the efficiency of communication and collaboration in multi-agent system.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries are at the forefront of modern energy storage technology.However,the accumulation of by-products such as ethylene and carbon dioxide during charging and discharging cycles reduces battery effective capacity and threatens large-scale safe performance.With significant advantages over ethylene carbonate(EC)electrolytes,fluorinated electrolytes can more effectively suppress internal gas evolution,thereby improving battery safety and cycling stability.To reveal the mechanism behind gas formation in lithium-ion batteries,our study investigated the transport behavior and interfacial products of fluorinated electrolytes under various operation conditions,including electrode material and electrolyte composition.Innovatively,we applied the reaction network integrator ReacNetGenerator to the analysis of the solid electrolyte interface(SEI)in lithium batteries,providing more molecular fingerprint information from the perspective of specific products.Using reactive molecular dynamics(MD)simulations with the ReaxFF force field and EChemDID,complemented by density functional theory(DFT)calculations,our results demonstrate that fluorinated electrolytes can effectively suppress the decomposition of LiPF_(6) to produce toxic gases PFs and PF_3.DFT analysis further reveals that highly fluorinated solvents(e.g.,FEMC)enhance the anti-reduction stability of PF_(6)~-through synergistic regulation of molecular orbital energy levels,thermodynamic electron affinity,charge transfer,and electrostatic potential distribution,thereby mitigating LiPF_(6) decomposition.Additionally,fluorinated electrolytes generate significantly more LiF components than non-fluorinated ones to promote the formation of a stable and durable solid electrolyte interface(SEI).Experimental validations via XPS and GC-MS confirm reduced CO_(2) generation and LiF-enriched SEI formation,aligning with simulation and DFT data.The findings provide valuable insights for the design of advanced electrolytes aimed at ensuring large-scale,safe energy storage solutions.

文摘The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction(eNO_(3)^(-)RR)is considered an effective approach for converting nitrate-containing wastewater to ammonia.The adsorption and activation of NO_(3)^(-)is the critical step for many materials and the high energy barrier inhibits the continuation of the reduction reaction.The Co nanoparticles encapsulated in the carbon layer we prepared spontaneously react with NO_(3)^(-)and the resulting Co^(2+)is then reduced by electroreduction to Co^(0),which circulates continuously.This resulted in overcoming the energy input required for NO_(3)^(-)adsorption and conversion,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.At the same time,the morphology of the catalyst reconstructed from a dodecahedron to an interwoven nanosheet structure and the increased surface area also gives it better properties.The obtained Co(OH)_(2)@Co-N-C has an excellent eNO_(3)^(-)RR of 2774.7μg·h^(-1)·cm^(-2)with a Faraday efficiency of 81.4%in neutral solution.At the same time,the material-modified electrode can run stably for more than 100 h.Our work provides a new idea for the design of Co-based catalysts for eNO_(3)^(-)RR.

文摘Agricultural new quality productive forces are the key foundation for realizing high-quality agricultural development.This study constructs the evaluation indicator system of agricultural new quality productive forces(ANQPFs)from three dimensions:agricultural laborers,agricultural labor objects,and agricultural labor resources.The equal weight method,entropy method,and CRITIC method are comprehensively applied to measure ANQPFs in China from 2011 to 2021.The Dagum's Gini coefficient,variance decomposition,kernel density estimation,Markov chain,and obstacle degree model are used to analyze regional differences,structural differences,dynamic evolution,and obstacle factors of ANQPFs.The findings show that:(1)There is an upward trend in ANQPFs in the national and the three major regions during the study period,while there are significant differences in ANQPFs by regions,which are characterized by a decreasing distribution from the east to the central,and then to the west.(2)The overall differences in ANQPFs have tended to widen,with inter-regional differences being the main source.(3)Agricultural labor object differences and agricultural labor resource differences are the main structural sources of ANQPFs development differences in China,with agricultural labor resource differences replacing agricultural labor object differences as the top source of ANQPFs differences after 2016.(4)The ANQPFs of the national and three regions show the distribution dynamics of"overall increase,absolute differences widen",and there is the phenomenon of"club convergence"in ANQPFs.(5)The number of Taobao villages,rural entrepreneurial activities,the number of agricultural science and technology patents per capita,and expenditure on agricultural science and technology activities are the main factors obstructing the development of ANQPFs.

文摘Plant genomes harbor dozens to hundreds of nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes; however, the long-term evolutionary history of these resistance genes has not been fully understood, This study focuses on five Brassicaceae genomes and the Carica papaya genome to explore changes in NBS-LRR genes that have taken place in this Rosid II lineage during the past 72 million years. Various numbers of NBS-LRR genes were identified from Arabidopsis lyrata (198), A. thaliana (165), Brassica rapa (204), Capsella rubella (127), Thellungiella salsuginea (88), and C. papaya (51). In each genome, the identified NBS-LRR genes were found to be unevenly distributed among chromosomes and most of them were clustered together. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that, before and after Brassicaceae speciation events, both toll/interleukin-1 receptor-NBS-LRR (TNL) genes and non-toll/interleukin-1 receptor-NBS-LRR (nTNL) genes exhibited a pattern of first expansion and then contraction, suggesting that both subclasses of NBS-LRR genes were responding to pathogen pressures synchronically. Further, by examining the gain/loss of TNL and nTNL genes at different evolutionary nodes, this study revealed that both events often occurred more drastically in TNL genes. Finally, the phylogeny of nTNL genes suggested that this NBS-LRR subclass is composed of two separate ancient gene types: RPW8-NBS-LRR and Coiled-coiI-N BS-LRR.
文摘Based on the idea of adjoint method and the dynamic evolution method,a new optimum aerodynamic design technique is presented in this paper.It can be applied to the optimum problems with a large number of design variables and is time saving.The key of the new method lies in that the optimization process is regarded as an unsteady evolution,i.e.,the optimization is executed,simultaneously with solving the unsteady flow governing equations and adjoint equations.Numerical examples for both the inverse problem and drag minimization using Euler equations have been presented,and the results show that the method presented in this paper is more efficient than the optimum methods based on the steady flow solution and the steady solution of adjoint equations.

文摘Single atom catalysts(SACs)with metal_(1)-N_(x)sites have shown promising activity and selectivity in direct catalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol.The reaction pathway is considered to be involving two steps,including a H_(2)O_(2)molecule dissociated on the metal single site to form the(metal_(1)-N_(x))=O active site,and followed by the dissociation of another H_(2)O_(2)on the other side of metal atom to form O=(metal_(1)-N_(x))=O intermediate center,which is active for the adsorption of benzene molecule via the formation of a C-O bond to form phenol.In this manuscript,we report a Cu SAC with nitrogen and oxygen dual-coordination(Cu1-N3O1 moiety)that doesn’t need the first H_(2)O_(2)activation process,as verified by both experimental and density function theory(DFT)calculations results.Compared with the counterpart nitrogen-coordinated Cu SAC(denoted as Cu1/NC),Cu SAC with nitrogen and oxygen dual-coordination(denoted as Cu1/NOC)exhibits 2.5 times higher turnover frequency(TOF)and 1.6 times higher utilization efficiency of H_(2)O_(2).Particularly,the coordination number(CN)of Cu atom in Cu1/NOC maintains four even after H_(2)O_(2)treatment and reaction.Combining DFT calculations,the dynamic evolution of single atomic Cu with nitrogen and oxygen dualcoordination in hydroxylation of benzene is proposed.These findings provide an efficient route to improve the catalytic performance through regulating the coordination environments of SACs and demonstrate a new reaction mechanism in hydroxylation of benzene to phenol reaction.
文摘In order to quantitatively describe the geoelectric precursor anomaly in the short-impending process of earthquakes, a new geoelectric precursor index — (monthly) relative change rate of ground resistivity, R ρ (t) , is designed. Using this index and choosing the internationally accepted ground resistivity data before the Tangshan M =7.8 earthquake of July 28, 1976, the features of dynamic evolution pattern of R ρ(t) are studied. The results show that: ① about 10~9 months before earthquake, the ground resistivity in a certain range around the epicentral region begins to display the anomaly of accelerating descent, and the rate of descent is higher in the epicentral region than in surrounding areas; ② with the shortening of countdown before earthquake, the R ρ(t) value in epicentral region increases gradually (ground resistivity value decreases at an increasing rate); ③ the R ρ(t) value has the epicentral area as a center and its contour lines propagate towards surrounding areas with the shortening of countdown before earthquake; ④after the R ρ(t) value in epicentral region has descended at increasing rate to reach an extremity [ R ρ(t) = (7.0], it turns to descend at decreasing rate (2~3 months) and earthquake occurs when it accelerates again. Meanwhile, earthquake occurs when the contour lines of R ρ(t) stop propagating towards surrounding areas and turn to shrink back (2~3 months later). Its physical process can be explained by the″ swollen hypothesis″ of Prof. Fu and the theory of ″Slip-weakening and rockmass instability″ of Mei, Niu, et al ..

文摘We propose an evolution model of cooperative agent and noncooperative agent aggregates to investigate the dynamic evolution behaviors of the system and the effects of the competing microscopic reactions on the dynamic evolution. In this model, each cooperative agent and noncooperative agent are endowed with integer values of cooperative spirits and nonco- operative spirits, respectively. The cooperative spirits of a cooperative agent aggregate and the noncooperative spirits of a noncooperative agent aggregate change via four competing microscopic reaction schemes: the win-win reaction between two cooperative agents, the lose-lose reaction between two noncooperative agents, the win-lose reaction between a coop- erative agent and a noncooperative agent (equivalent to the migration of spirits from cooperative agents to noncooperative agents), and the cooperative agent catalyzed decline of noncooperative spirits. Based on the generalized Smoluchowski's rate equation approach, we investigate the dynamic evolution behaviors such as the total cooperative spirits of all coop- erative agents and the total noncooperative spirits of all noncooperative agents. The effects of the three main groups of competition on the dynamic evolution are revealed. These include: (i) the competition between the lose-lose reaction and the win-lose reaction, which gives rise to respectively the decrease and increase in the noncooperative agent spirits; (ii) the competition between the win-win reaction and the win-lose reaction, which gives rise to respectively the increase and decrease in the cooperative agent spirits; (iii) the competition between the win-lose reaction and the catalyzed-decline reaction, which gives rise to respectively the increase and decrease in the noncooperative agent spirits.

文摘Rapid climate change and human disturbance have caused serious damage and shrinkage of the wetlands in the Mongolian Plateau,posing severe challenges to environmental development.Based on remote sensing images and DEM data,this study established a series of datasets for lakeside wetlands in the Mongolian Plateau in 2000,2010 and 2020,and investigated the dynamic evolution of lakeside wetlands in the Mongolian Plateau through spatial and temporal analyses.The results showed that in 2000,there were 564 lakes(>1 km^(2))in the Mongolian Plateau,with a total area of about 55216.47 km^(2).Compared with 2000,the area of lakes in 2010 was significantly reduced,and there was a significant increase in the number of woody marshes and a reduction in the number of herbaceous marshes.In 2020,the lakes in the central part of the Mongolian Plateau were smaller than in 2010.The areas of lakes in the western,southern and eastern regions were increasing,and the areas of herbaceous swamps,woody marshes and meadows were increasing overall.Lakes,bare land and saline-alkali land decreased overall.The degree of salinization was reduced over the study period.There was a significant correlation between the Adaptive Palmer Drought Index(scPDSI)and lake area.In the past two decades,the climatic factors and human activities of the Mongolian Plateau have profoundly affected the evolution of the lakeside wetlands.We should prioritize the protection of lakes and wetland resources in order to achieve the dynamic balance of wetland ecology.

文摘We have set up a new reduced model Hamiltonian for the polariton system, in which the nonlinear interaction contains the rotating term k l ( a + b + ab+) and the attractive two-mode squeezed coupling - k2 ( a + b+ + ab ) . The dynamical evolution of this system has been solved and the nonclassical features relevant to the second-order and high-order squeezing have been obtained in an analytical form. For the first time, in contrast to the existing result, we have confirmed for the phonon field that the attractive two-mode squeezed interaction will not only result in the second-order and high-order squeezing in X-component with the time evolution, but also in time average. Furthermore, the phenomena of collapse and revival of inversion will occur as well in the time evolution of the average number of photon and phonon, as also in the second-order and high-order squeezing of photon field, particularly, in the high-order squeezing of phonon field.

文摘Lake wetlands play a crucial role as global carbon sinks,significantly contributing to carbon storage and ecological balance.This study estimates the quarterly carbon storage in the Dongting Lake wetland for the years 2010,2015,and 2020,using MODIS remote sensing imagery and the InVEST model.A Structural Equation Model(SEM)was then employed to analyze the driving factors behind changes in carbon storage.Results show that intra-annual carbon storage increases and then decreases,with maximum level in the third quarter(average of 34.242 Tg)and a minimum one in the first quarter(average of 21.435 Tg).From 2010 to 2020,inter-annual carbon storage variations initially exhibited an increasing trend before decreasing,with the peak annual average carbon storage reaching 32.230 Tg in 2015.Notably,the coefficient of variation for intra-annual carbon storage increased from 8.5%in 2010 to 25.8%in 2020.Key driving factors that influence carbon storage changes include surface solar radiation,temperature,and water level,with carbon storage positively correlated with surface solar radiation and temperature,and negatively correlated with water level.These findings reveal the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of carbon storage in the Dongting Lake wetland,offering scientific guidance for wetland conservation and regional climate adaptation policies.

文摘The mineral rock salts present in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam basin exhibit high solubilities in water. In addition, the multicomponent underground brine exhibits a high salinity and is easily precipitated. In the natural state, brine transport in the brine layer is extremely slow, and the brine is in a relatively stable chemical equilibrium state with the rock salt media. However, during mining, both the seepage and the chemical fields fluctuate significantly, thereby disrupting the equilibrium and leading to variations in the chemical composition and dynamic characteristics of the brine. Therefore, we selected underground brine from the Mahai Salt Lake, collecting a total of 183 brine samples over three stages of mining(i.e., the early stage of underground brine extraction, the initial stage of mining, and the later stage of mining). Using a range of analytical techniques, the chemical dynamics of the underground brine water and its evolution were systematically studied. We found that evaporation and enrichment were the main mechanisms of underground brine evolution in the Mahai Salt Lake, with cation exchange and mineral dissolution/precipitation being key factors in determining the dynamic characteristics and evolution of the brine.
