The fatigue data showed that the material experienced cyclic softening followed by cyclic hardening before the final fracture failure. The microscopic observations demonstrated that the cracks were almost perpendicular to the loading direction with some zigzags and the cracks progressed along both small angle grain boundaries and large angle grain boundaries. Although the cracks were mainly propagated along large angle grain boundaries, the value of grain boundary angle was not the primary factor to determine the crack propagation direction. The local residual strain from the rolling process was released due to the crack propagation and there was more strain relaxation at regions closer to the cracks.展开更多

文摘Articular cartilage maintains joint homeostasis by adapting to mechanical loading,but both insufficient and excessive loading can impair cartilage integrity.Whether mechanical activity should be restricted in early osteoarthritis(OA),particularly among exercise enthusiasts,remains controversial.Here,we established in vitro and in vivo models of prolonged moderate mechanical loading(7.5%strain,1 Hz)and analyzed human cartilage from weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing regions using RNA sequencing.Prolonged exposure(≥12 h)significantly increased chondrocyte apoptosis(2.3-fold),reduced expression of the chondrogenic transcription factor SOX9 and the matrix markers COL2A1,and elevated nerve growth factor(NGF)expression(1.8-fold),accompanied by enrichment of neural sensitization and inflammatory pathways.Immunofluorescence staining revealed NGF accumulation in mechanically stressed cartilage.Unlike high-intensity stress,which led to immediate apoptosis,moderate loading induced a delayed pro-apoptotic response after 12 h.These findings indicate that prolonged moderate mechanical loading may promote chondrocyte apoptosis through an NGFmediated inflammatory microenvironment and provide mechanistic evidence suggesting that patients with early OA may benefit from limiting high-impact or prolonged moderate-intensity exercise sessions to prevent cartilage damage and guide rehabilitation.

文摘Through tracing the background and customary usage of classification of fine-grained sedimentary rocks and terminology,and comparing current“sedimentary petrology”textbooks and monographs,this paper proposes a classification scheme for fine-grained sedimentary rocks and clarifies related terminology.The comprehensive analysis indicates that the classification of clastic rocks,volcanic clastic rocks,chemical rocks,and biogenic(carbonate)rocks is unified,and the definitions of terms such as lamination,bedding and beds are consistent.However,there is a disagreement on the definition of“mud”.European and American scholars commonly use the term“mud”to include silt and clay(particle size less than 0.0625 mm).Chinese scholars equate the term“mud”to“clay”(particle size less than 0.0039 mm or less than 0.01 mm).Combined with the discussion on terms such as sedimentary structures(bedding,lamination and lamellation),shale,mudstone,mudrocks/argillaceous rocks and mud shale,it is recommended to use“fine-grained sedimentary rocks”as the general term for all sedimentary rocks composed of fine-grained materials with particle size less than 0.0625 mm,including claystone/mudrocks and siltstone.Claystone/mudrocks are further classified into argillaceous(or clayey)mudstone/shale,calcareous mudstone/shale,siliceous mudstone/shale,silty mudstone/shale and silt-containing mudstone/shale.Argillaceous(or clayey)mudstone/shale emphasizes a content of clay minerals or clay-sized particles exceeding 50%.Other mudstones/shales emphasize a content of particles(particle size less than 0.0625 mm)exceeding 50%.The commonly referred term“shale”should not include siltstone.It is necessary to establish a reasonable,standardized,and applicable classification scheme for fine-grained sedimentary rocks in the future.An integrated shale microfacies research at the thin-section scale should be carried out,and combined with well logging data interpretation and seismic attribute analysis,a geological model of lithology/lithofacies will be iteratively upgraded to accurately determine sweet layer,locate target layer,and evaluate favorable area.

文摘Discriminative region localization and efficient feature encoding are crucial for fine-grained object recognition.However,existing data augmentation methods struggle to accurately locate discriminative regions in complex backgrounds,small target objects,and limited training data,leading to poor recognition.Fine-grained images exhibit“small inter-class differences,”and while second-order feature encoding enhances discrimination,it often requires dual Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN),increasing training time and complexity.This study proposes a model integrating discriminative region localization and efficient second-order feature encoding.By ranking feature map channels via a fully connected layer,it selects high-importance channels to generate an enhanced map,accurately locating discriminative regions.Cropping and erasing augmentations further refine recognition.To improve efficiency,a novel second-order feature encoding module generates an attention map from the fourth convolutional group of Residual Network 50 layers(ResNet-50)and multiplies it with features from the fifth group,producing second-order features while reducing dimensionality and training time.Experiments on Caltech-University of California,San Diego Birds-200-2011(CUB-200-2011),Stanford Car,and Fine-Grained Visual Classification of Aircraft(FGVC Aircraft)datasets show state-of-the-art accuracy of 88.9%,94.7%,and 93.3%,respectively.

文摘A fine-grained metastable dual-phase Fe_(40)Mn_(20)Co_(20)Cr_(15)Si_(5)high entropy alloy(CS-HEA)with excellent strength and ductility was successfully prepared by friction stir processing(FSP).The microstructural and mechanical properties of the fine-grained CS-HEA were characterized.The results showed that as-cast shrinkage cavities and elemental segregation were eliminated.The average grain size was refined from 121.1 to 5.4μm.The face-centered cubic phase fraction increased from 23%to 82%.During tensile deformation,dislocation slip dominated at strains ranging from 5%to 17%,followed by transformation induced plasticity(TRIP)from 17%to 26%,and twin induced plasticity(TWIP)from 26%to 37%.The yield strength,ultimate tensile strength,and elongation of the fine-grained CS-HEA were 503 MPa,1120 MPa,and 37%,respectively.The strength-ductility synergy of fine-grained CS-HEA was attributed to the combined effects of TRIP,TWIP,dislocation strengthening,and fine-grained strengthening.

文摘Accurately recognizing driver distraction is critical for preventing traffic accidents,yet current detection models face two persistent challenges.First,distractions are often fine-grained,involving subtle cues such as brief eye closures or partial yawns,which are easily missed by conventional detectors.Second,in real-world scenarios,drivers frequently exhibit overlapping behaviors,such as simultaneously holding a cup,closing their eyes,and yawning,leading tomultiple detection boxes and degradedmodel performance.Existing approaches fail to robustly address these complexities,resulting in limited reliability in safety critical applications.To overcome these pain points,we propose YOLO-Drive,a novel framework that enhances YOLO-based driver monitoring with EfficientViM and Polarized Spectral–Spatial Attention(PSSA)modules.Efficient ViMprovides lightweight yet powerful global–local feature extraction,enabling accurate recognition of subtle driver states.PSSA further amplifies discriminative features across spatial and spectral domains,ensuring robust separation of concurrent distraction cues.By explicitly modeling fine-grained and overlapping behaviors,our approach delivers significant improvements in both precision and robustness.Extensive experiments on benchmark driver distraction datasets demonstrate that YOLO-Drive consistently out-performs stateof-the-art models,achieving higher detection accuracy while maintaining real-time efficiency.These results validate YOLO-Drive as a practical and reliable solution for advanced driver monitoring systems,addressing long-standing challenges of subtle cue recognition and multi-cue distraction detection.
文摘This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions.The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis,and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly.The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines.The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels(80,160,180,200 km/h),tunnel entry and exit,and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed.The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained,providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for highspeed s.The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm.Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade.The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets.When the scraper operates,the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times.Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load,the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency,which excites the natural mode of the wiper.

文摘The multi-pass intermittent local loading process,which features a more flexible processing path,can further enhance the second material distribution during local loading,improve the formability of components,and reduce forming loads.However,the absence of compatible forming equipment makes it difficult to control the constraint in the unloaded zones during the forming process.This difficulty complicates coordination and control of deformation,particularly for asymmetric rib-web components.Additionally,the current implementation involves multi-fire heating,a long process flow,and high energy consumption,which limits the popularization and application of the local loading process.In this study,a new multi-pass local loading hydraulic forming apparatus that can quickly and reliably switch between heavy-load deformation and low-load constraint for different local loading sub-dies was developed.A 10-tonne laboratory prototype was developed,and the forming characteristics during the forming process as well as the response characteristics of the hydraulic system during the multi-pass intermittent local loading of rib-web component were investigated using numerical simulations and physical experiments.Results indicated that,compared to a whole loading process with the same initial geometry of billet,the total forming load(i.e.,the sum of loaded and restrained loads)is reduced by more than 40%with the local loading process,and by nearly 50%with multi-pass local loading.The multi-pass local loading process allows for more effective control of material flow compared to single-pass local loading,leading to improved cavity filling and reduced flow line disturbance.For a large-scale,complex titanium alloy bulkhead,the cavity filling problem was addressed by optimizing the multi-pass local loading path with an unequal thickness billet.The dynamic performance of the multi-pass local loading hydraulic system was found to be robust,with stable pressure transitions during motion and load switching for the sub-die(s).The dynamic characteristic of the hydraulic cylinder when switching from non-moving/unloaded state to a moving/loading state are consistent whether a load is present or not.However,the dynamic characteristics differ when switching from a moving/loading state to non-moving/unloaded state,showing opposite behavior.The developed hydraulic drive mechanism provides a way for implementation of multi-pass local loading without auxiliary operation and extra heating.The results of the study provide a foundation for the industrial production of large-scale,complex components with reduced force requirement and low-energy consumption.

文摘With the growing global demand for energy,deep underground salt caverns are emerging as a potential solution for large-scale energy storage.In this study,multistage cyclic loading tests were conducted on rock salt at different temperatures in combination with real-time acoustic emission(AE)monitoring.The results show that the cumulative AE count increases stepwise with increasing cyclic stress.The peak frequency is concentrated primarily in the medium-frequency range,exhibiting a band distribution across low-,medium-,and high-frequency ranges.As the temperature increases,the proportion of low-frequency signals decreases from 14.32%to 5.76%,whereas the proportion of medium-frequency signals increases from 85.48%to 94.1%.The proportion of high-frequency signals remains relatively constant between 0.1%and 0.2%.The amplitude-count relationship of the AE signals demonstrates a strong negative power-law correlation.Furthermore,with increasing temperature,the negative power-law exponent of the amplitude gradually decreases,with the b value decreasing from 1.096 to 0.837 and the a value decreasing from 7.4871 to 6.6982.Under all four temperature conditions,the dominant failure mode in rock salt is tensile cracking.However,as the temperature increases,the proportion of tensile cracks decreases from 88.59%to 75.12%,whereas the proportion of shear cracks at 80℃is nearly double that at 20℃.This finding indicates that as the temperature increases,the ductility of the material increases,and the crack propagation mode shifts from tensile to shear.This research provides valuable insights for the design and stability assessment of salt cavern reservoirs for deep underground energy storage systems.

文摘Large-scale geological energy storage plays a crucial role in balancing the intermittency of renewable energy.As an energy storage medium,soaked sandstone has a wide range of applications in geological energy storage.Understanding the damage characteristics in soaked sandstones is essential for ensuring the stability and longevity of these energy storage systems.This study involved multi-stage cyclic loading tests conducted on soaked sandstone to explore the damage evolution throughout the loading process.The findingsreveal several important insights:(1)The plastic hysteresis loops observed during multi-stage cyclic loading evolved from dense to sparse.An increase in stress level led to greater damage in the rock,as evidenced by an increase in accumulated peak/plastic strains.(2)Energy density and stress level are related by quadratic polynomial relationships.The elastic and dissipated energy densities are related by a linear law.The average energy storage coefficientdecreased by up to 24.1%with increasing stress amplitude,reflectingchanges in energy dynamics within the samples.(3)AE counts,amplitude,and frequency provided critical insights into rock damage and fracture patterns.The greater the loading rate and stress amplitude,the lower the proportion of high-amplitude,high-peak frequency,and shear-type fractures.Increasing stress amplitude caused a maximum 16.63%reduction in the AE bvalue,indicating shifts in fracture behavior under varying stress conditions.(4)The increase in loading rate and stress amplitude promotes the transformation of micropores and mesopores to macropores/microcracks.(5)Damage variables,definedin terms of cumulative dissipation energy,aligned closely with the fatigue damage model under multi-stage cyclic loading.Accelerated damage primarily occurred during the finalstages of fatigue loading,highlighting critical periods in the degradation of soaked sandstones.This study can offer guidance for designing operational parameters for energy storage geological bodies dominated by soaked sandstones.
文摘This study investigates the performance of high-strength cable bolts under impact loading conditions representative of rock bursts in underground environments.Although widely used,the dynamic behaviour of these cable bolts has received limited experimental attention,and their effectiveness in seismically active zones remains a subject of ongoing debate.To address this gap,a reverse pull-out test machine integrated with a drop hammer rig was employed.Tests were conducted on 70-t SUMO bulbed and non-bulbed cable bolts with encapsulation lengths of 300 and 450 mm,subjected to an impact energy of 14.52 k J.Results indicate that non-bulbed cables,despite showing lower initial peak loads(average 218 vs.328 k N for bulbed cables at 300 mm encapsulation),demonstrated superior energy absorption(average 11.26 vs.8.75 k J)and displacement capacity(average 48.40 vs.36.25 mm).Increasing the encapsulation length for bulbed cables led to a reduction in initial peak load but improved displacement and energy absorption.The dominant failure mechanism was debonding at the cable-grout interface,characterised by frictional sliding and cable rotation.These findings provide new insights into the energy dissipation mechanisms of cables and support the development of more resilient ground support systems for dynamically active conditions.

文摘The growing demands on global infrastructure highlight the critical need for durable and efficient pavement systems,particularly under the stress of repetitive heavy traffic loads.The use of geosynthetics within the pavement structure increases the load-carrying capacity of unbound pavement layers by providing lateral restraint,improving vertical stress distribution,and enhancing bearing capacity.Such reinforcement typically aims to either improve the service life of pavements or achieve equivalent performance with a reduced granular cover.Previous and ongoing research quantifies geosynthetic performance in pavement reinforcement using various testing methods.Among these,laboratory model box tests subjected to cyclic loading are pivotal,as they closely replicate real-world traffic conditions.Hence,these studies are essential for understanding how geosynthetics distribute loads and enhance pavement durability.This facilitates the development of optimized geosynthetic design and installation practices,accelerating the loading process to simulate years of traffic wear in a shorter period.This review discusses the improved rutting resistance of unbound pavements reinforced with geosynthetic materials,specifically drawing on data from cyclic plate load tests conducted on laboratory model boxes,as highlighted in the literature.Key variables such as optimum geosynthetic placement,geosynthetic material properties,performance of different geosynthetic materials and the effects of aperture shape and size on rutting resistance are discussed.Furthermore,the review assesses various predictive rutting models,analysing their applicability and accuracy in forecasting the rutting performance of geosynthetic-reinforced unbound pavements.This comprehensive literature review aids pavement engineers and researchers,in guiding the selection and design of geosynthetics to optimize pavement durability and functionality under repetitive traffic loads.

文摘Frozen moraine soils are widely distributed across the Tianshan Mountains,the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,and other high-altitude regions.Engineering activities,particularly blasting,often induce degradation of the soil microstructure,compromising its mechanical integrity and increasing the risk of slope instability and rainfall-triggered debris flows-posing serious threats to infrastructure in cold regions.Previous studies have largely treated frozen soils as homogeneous continua,thereby overlooking key micro-scale processes such as ice-soil interaction,microcrack propagation,and particle breakage.In this study,the dynamic mechanical behavior and microstructural damage mechanisms of frozen moraine soil were systematically investigated under varying temperatures(−5℃,−15℃,and−25℃)and strain rates(50 s^(-1),70 s^(-1),and 90 s^(-1)).Results reveal that both temperature and strain rate significantly influence the dynamic stress-strain response.Energy absorption exhibits a three-stage pattern of increase,stabilization,and decline.At−25℃,increased ice brittleness reduces the peak energy absorption efficiency under impact.To capture the observed nonlinear behavior,a damage-based constitutive model was developed,incorporating coupled effects of impact-induced microcracking,ice-soil interfacial debonding,and particle fracture.The stochastic evolution of interfacial debonding and grain breakage was described using a Weibull statistical framework,linking microstructural deterioration to macroscopic response.The model shows strong agreement with experimental data and accurately simulates key parameters such as peak stress and energy absorption.These findings enhance the understanding of dynamic damage mechanisms in frozen soils and offer a computational tool for the safety assessment and hazard mitigation of engineering structures in cold,high-altitude environments.

文摘During deep coal mining,an instability failure of coal usually occurs under the combined effect of initial damage and triaxial cyclic loading and unloading(TCLU).Therefore,this study investigated the impact of initial damage on mechanical behavior and acoustic emission(AE)characteristics of coal under TCLU.Initial damage variables(IDVs)of coal specimens were quantified using preloading,followed by TCLU experiments to assess the deformation,energy distribution,and fracture development.The results revealed that the increase in IDVs significantly reduced the structural integrity of coal specimens,increased the cumulative irreversible strain,and enhanced the dissipated energy owing to microfracture expansion.Moreover,AE monitoring showed earlier activation of fractures and a higher occurrence of large-scale rupture events of coal specimens with high IDVs,which correlated with decreasing AE b values(reflecting the different scales of fracture within specimens)and increasing S values(reflecting the AE activity within specimens).Additionally,computed tomography analysis revealed intensified fracture networks and increasing three-dimensional fractal dimensions of coal specimens with higher IDVs.Finally,the coupling effect of TCLU and initial damage on the weakening mechanism of coal was investigated.Initial damage significantly reduced the structural integrity of coal by increasing the number of weak planes within coal specimens,contributing to the earlier activation and rapid expansion of fractures at low stress levels under TCLU and eventually accelerating the weakening process of coal.This study provides a scientific basis and theoretical support for the prevention and control of dynamic disasters in deep coal mining.

文摘Organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization(O-ATRP)is a pivotal technique for the synthesis of polymers with well-defined structures that are devoid of metallic residues.A major challenge in this area is the reduction of catalyst loading while maintaining precise control over polymer architecture and properties.Herein,we systematically evaluate the efficacy of six pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline(pyzPhen)-based photoredox catalysts in photoinduced O-ATRP.Experimental results indicate that the introduction of various substituents markedly influences the photophysical properties and redox behavior of the catalysts,thereby resulting in differing catalytic efficiencies in the O-ATRP of methyl methacrylate(MMA).Following additional optimization,two highly efficient O-ATRP photocatalysts capable of exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)were successfully identified.Under visible light irradiation,TADF catalysts effectively mediated the controlled polymerization of MMA at a low loading level of 50 ppm,particularly when used in conjunction with the initiator DBMM.The catalytic systems demonstrate excellent temporal control,broad monomer applicability,and favorable compatibility with various initiators and solvent systems.This work offers new insights into the development of efficient,low-catalyst-loading,metal-free ATRP systems.

文摘Fine-grained magnesium was tested under stress-controlled tension-tension cyclic loading at -30 ℃ and the tested sample was observed using scanning electron microscope and electron backscatter diffraction to explore the fatigue behavior and crack propagation. The fatigue data showed that the material experienced cyclic softening followed by cyclic hardening before the final fracture failure. The microscopic observations demonstrated that the cracks were almost perpendicular to the loading direction with some zigzags and the cracks progressed along both small angle grain boundaries and large angle grain boundaries. Although the cracks were mainly propagated along large angle grain boundaries, the value of grain boundary angle was not the primary factor to determine the crack propagation direction. The local residual strain from the rolling process was released due to the crack propagation and there was more strain relaxation at regions closer to the cracks.

文摘Fine-grained sediments are widely distributed and constitute the most abundant component in sedi-mentary systems,thus the research on their genesis and distribution is of great significance.In recent years,fine-grained sediment gravity-flows(FGSGF)have been recognized as an important transportation and depositional mechanism for accumulating thick successions of fine-grained sediments.Through a comprehensive review and synthesis of global research on FGSGF deposition,the characteristics,depositional mechanisms,and distribution patterns of fine-grained sediment gravity-flow deposits(FGSGFD)are discussed,and future research prospects are clarified.In addition to the traditionally recognized low-density turbidity current and muddy debris flow,wave-enhanced gravity flow,low-density muddy hyperpycnal flow,and hypopycnal plumes can all form widely distributed FGSGFD.At the same time,the evolution of FGSGF during transportation can result in transitional and hybrid gravity-flow deposits.The combination of multiple triggering mechanisms promotes the widespread develop-ment of FGSGFD,without temporal and spatial limitations.Different types and concentrations of clay minerals,organic matters,and organo-clay complexes are the keys to controlling the flow transformation of FGSGF from low-concentration turbidity currents to high-concentration muddy debris flows.Further study is needed on the interaction mechanism of FGSGF caused by different initiations,the evolution of FGSGF with the effect of organic-inorganic synergy,and the controlling factors of the distribution pat-terns of FGSGFD.The study of FGSGFD can shed some new light on the formation of widely developed thin-bedded siltstones within shales.At the same time,these insights may broaden the exploration scope of shale oil and gas,which have important geological significances for unconventional shale oil and gas.

文摘This work aims to reveal the mechanical responses and energy evolution characteristics of skarn rock under constant amplitude-varied frequency loading paths.Testing results show that the fatigue lifetime,stress−strain responses,deformation,energy dissipation and fracture morphology are all impacted by the loading rate.A pronounced influence of the loading rate on rock deformation is found,with slower loading rate eliciting enhanced strain development,alongside augmented energy absorption and dissipation.In addition,it is revealed that the loading rate and cyclic loading amplitude jointly influence the phase shift distribution,with accelerated rates leading to a narrower phase shift duration.It is suggested that lower loading rate leads to more significant energy dissipation.Finally,the tensile or shear failure modes were intrinsically linked to loading strategy,with cyclic loading predominantly instigating shear damage,as manifest in the increased presence of pulverized grain particles.This work would give new insights into the fortification of mining structures and the optimization of mining methodologies.

文摘Accurate fine-grained geospatial scene classification using remote sensing imagery is essential for a wide range of applications.However,existing approaches often rely on manually zooming remote sensing images at different scales to create typical scene samples.This approach fails to adequately support the fixed-resolution image interpretation requirements in real-world scenarios.To address this limitation,we introduce the million-scale fine-grained geospatial scene classification dataset(MEET),which contains over 1.03 million zoom-free remote sensing scene samples,manually annotated into 80 fine-grained categories.In MEET,each scene sample follows a scene-in-scene layout,where the central scene serves as the reference,and auxiliary scenes provide crucial spatial context for fine-grained classification.Moreover,to tackle the emerging challenge of scene-in-scene classification,we present the context-aware transformer(CAT),a model specifically designed for this task,which adaptively fuses spatial context to accurately classify the scene samples.CAT adaptively fuses spatial context to accurately classify the scene samples by learning attentional features that capture the relationships between the center and auxiliary scenes.Based on MEET,we establish a comprehensive benchmark for fine-grained geospatial scene classification,evaluating CAT against 11 competitive baselines.The results demonstrate that CAT significantly outperforms these baselines,achieving a 1.88%higher balanced accuracy(BA)with the Swin-Large backbone,and a notable 7.87%improvement with the Swin-Huge backbone.Further experiments validate the effectiveness of each module in CAT and show the practical applicability of CAT in the urban functional zone mapping.The source code and dataset will be publicly available at https://jerrywyn.github.io/project/MEET.html.

文摘Based on recent advancements in shale oil exploration within the Ordos Basin,this study presents a comprehensive investigation of the paleoenvironment,lithofacies assemblages and distribution,depositional mechanisms,and reservoir characteristics of shale oil of fine-grained sediment deposition in continental freshwater lacustrine basins,with a focus on the Chang 7_(3) sub-member of Triassic Yanchang Formation.The research integrates a variety of exploration data,including field outcrops,drilling,logging,core samples,geochemical analyses,and flume simulation.The study indicates that:(1)The paleoenvironment of the Chang 7_(3) deposition is characterized by a warm and humid climate,frequent monsoon events,and a large water depth of freshwater lacustrine basin.The paleogeomorphology exhibits an asymmetrical pattern,with steep slopes in the southwest and gentle slopes in the northeast,which can be subdivided into microgeomorphological units,including depressions and ridges in lakebed,as well as ancient channels.(2)The Chang 7_(3) sub-member is characterized by a diverse array of fine-grained sediments,including very fine sandstone,siltstone,mudstone and tuff.These sediments are primarily distributed in thin interbedded and laminated arrangements vertically.The overall grain size of the sandstone predominantly falls below 62.5μm,with individual layer thicknesses of 0.05–0.64 m.The deposits contain intact plant fragments and display various sedimentary structure,such as wavy bedding,inverse-to-normal grading sequence,and climbing ripple bedding,which indicating a depositional origin associated with density flows.(3)Flume simulation experiments have successfully replicated the transport processes and sedimentary characteristics associated with density flows.The initial phase is characterized by a density-velocity differential,resulting in a thicker,coarser sediment layer at the flow front,while the upper layers are thinner and finer in grain size.During the mid-phase,sliding water effects cause the fluid front to rise and facilitate rapid forward transport.This process generates multiple“new fronts”,enabling the long-distance transport of fine-grained sandstones,such as siltstone and argillaceous siltstone,into the center of the lake basin.(4)A sedimentary model primarily controlled by hyperpynal flows was established for the southwestern part of the basin,highlighting that the frequent occurrence of flood events and the steep slope topography in this area are primary controlling factors for the development of hyperpynal flows.(5)Sandstone and mudstone in the Chang 7_(3) sub-member exhibit micro-and nano-scale pore-throat systems,shale oil is present in various lithologies,while the content of movable oil varies considerably,with sandstone exhibiting the highest content of movable oil.(6)The fine-grained sediment complexes formed by multiple episodes of sandstones and mudstones associated with density flow in the Chang 7_(3) formation exhibit characteristics of“overall oil-bearing with differential storage capacity”.The combination of mudstone with low total organic carbon content(TOC)and siltstone is identified as the most favorable exploration target at present.

文摘Joint Multimodal Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis(JMASA)is a significant task in the research of multimodal fine-grained sentiment analysis,which combines two subtasks:Multimodal Aspect Term Extraction(MATE)and Multimodal Aspect-oriented Sentiment Classification(MASC).Currently,most existing models for JMASA only perform text and image feature encoding from a basic level,but often neglect the in-depth analysis of unimodal intrinsic features,which may lead to the low accuracy of aspect term extraction and the poor ability of sentiment prediction due to the insufficient learning of intra-modal features.Given this problem,we propose a Text-Image Feature Fine-grained Learning(TIFFL)model for JMASA.First,we construct an enhanced adjacency matrix of word dependencies and adopt graph convolutional network to learn the syntactic structure features for text,which addresses the context interference problem of identifying different aspect terms.Then,the adjective-noun pairs extracted from image are introduced to enable the semantic representation of visual features more intuitive,which addresses the ambiguous semantic extraction problem during image feature learning.Thereby,the model performance of aspect term extraction and sentiment polarity prediction can be further optimized and enhanced.Experiments on two Twitter benchmark datasets demonstrate that TIFFL achieves competitive results for JMASA,MATE and MASC,thus validating the effectiveness of our proposed methods.
