In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.展开更多

文摘Objective:To analyze the significance of high-frequency ultrasound in differentiating benign and malignant breast micronodules.Methods:Eighty-five patients with breast micronodules admitted for diagnosis between October 2022 and October 2024 were selected for high-frequency ultrasound diagnosis.The diagnostic efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound was evaluated by comparing it with the results of surgical pathology.Results:High-frequency ultrasound detected 50 benign nodules,primarily breast fibroadenomas,and 35 malignant nodules,mainly breast ductal carcinoma in situ.Based on surgical pathology results,the diagnostic accuracy of high-frequency ultrasound was 96.47%,specificity was 97.96%,and sensitivity was 94.44%.In high-frequency ultrasound diagnosis,the proportion of grade III and IV blood flow in malignant nodules was higher than that in benign nodules,while the proportion of regular shape and clear margins was lower.The proportion of microcalcifications and posterior echo attenuation was higher in malignant nodules,and the resistance index(RI)and peak blood flow velocity were lower than those in benign nodules(P<0.05).Conclusion:High-frequency ultrasound can effectively differentiate benign and malignant breast micronodules,determine specific nodule types,and exhibits high diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity.Additionally,benign and malignant nodules can be differentiated based on the grading of blood flow signals,sonographic features,and blood flow velocity,providing reasonable guidance for subsequent treatment plans.
文摘China has a long history of coal mining,among which open-pit coal mines have a large number of small coal mine goafs underground.The distribution,shape,structure and other characteristics of goafs are isolated and discontinuous,and there is no definite geological law to follow,which seriously threatens the safety of coal mine production and personnel life.Conventional ground geophysical methods have low accuracy in detecting goaf areas affected by mechanical interference from open-pit mines,especially for waterless goaf areas,which cannot be detected by existing methods.This article proposes the use of high-frequency electromagnetic waves for goaf detection.The feasibility of using drilling radar to detect goaf was theoretically analyzed,and a goaf detection model was established.The response characteristics of different fillers in the goaf under different frequencies of high-frequency electromagnetic waves were simulated and analyzed.In a certain open-pit mine in Inner Mongolia,100MHz high-frequency electromagnetic waves were used to detect the goaf through directional drilling on the ground.After detection,excavation verification was carried out,and the location of one goaf detected was verified.The results of engineering practice show that the application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in goaf detection expands the detection radius of boreholes,has the advantages of high efficiency and accuracy,and has important theoretical and practical significance.
文摘During high-speed forward flight,helicopter rotor blades operate across a wide range of Reynolds and Mach numbers.Under such conditions,their aerodynamic performance is significantly influenced by dynamic stall—a complex,unsteady flow phenomenon highly sensitive to inlet conditions such asMach and Reynolds numbers.The key features of three-dimensional blade stall can be effectively represented by the dynamic stall behavior of a pitching airfoil.In this study,we conduct an uncertainty quantification analysis of dynamic stall aerodynamics in high-Mach-number flows over pitching airfoils,accounting for uncertainties in inlet parameters.A computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model based on the compressible unsteady Reynolds-averagedNavier–Stokes(URANS)equations,coupledwith sliding mesh techniques,is developed to simulate the unsteady aerodynamic behavior and associated flow fields.To efficiently capture the aerodynamic responses while maintaining high accuracy,a multi-fidelity Co-Kriging surrogate model is constructed.This model integrates the precision of high-fidelity wind tunnel experiments with the computational efficiency of lower-fidelity URANS simulations.Its accuracy is validated through direct comparison with experimental data.Building upon this surrogate model,we employ interval analysis and the Sobol sensitivity method to quantify the uncertainty and parameter sensitivity of the unsteady aerodynamic forces resulting frominlet condition variability.Both the inlet Mach number and Reynolds number are treated as uncertain inputs,modeled using interval representations.Our results demonstrate that variations inMach number contribute far more significantly to aerodynamic uncertainty than those in Reynolds number.Moreover,the presence of dynamic stall vortices markedly amplifies the aerodynamic sensitivity to Mach number fluctuations.

文摘In the data transaction process within a data asset trading platform,quantifying the trustworthiness of data source nodes is challenging due to their numerous attributes and complex structures.To address this issue,a distributed data source trust assessment management framework,a trust quantification model,and a dynamic adjustment mechanism are proposed.Themodel integrates the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)and Dempster-Shafer(D-S)evidence theory to determine attribute weights and calculate direct trust values,while the PageRank algorithm is employed to derive indirect trust values.Thedirect and indirect trust values are then combined to compute the comprehensive trust value of the data source.Furthermore,a dynamic adjustment mechanism is introduced to continuously update the comprehensive trust value based on historical assessment data.By leveraging the collaborative efforts of multiple nodes in the distributed network,the proposed framework enables a comprehensive,dynamic,and objective evaluation of data source trustworthiness.Extensive experimental analyses demonstrate that the trust quantification model effectively handles large-scale data source trust assessments,exhibiting both strong trust differentiation capability and high robustness.
文摘BACKGROUND The Streptococcus salivarius(S.salivarius)group,which produces the enzyme urease has been identified as a potential contributor to ammonia production in the gut.Researchers have reported that patients with minimal HE had an increased abundance of the S.salivarius group,which is a specific change in the gut microbiota that distinguishes them from healthy individuals.The correlation between the aggregation of specific bacterial species and fibrosis progression in chronic liver disease(CLD)is yet to be fully elucidated.AIM To quantify S.salivarius using digital PCR(dPCR)as a liver fibrosis marker of CLD.METHODS This study retrospectively analysed 52 patients with CLD.To quantify S.salivarius in patients with CLD using dPCR,we evaluated the specificity and sensitivity of S.salivarius bacterial load using dPCR for a type strain.Next,we evaluated the clinical usefulness of dPCR for S.salivarius load quantification for detecting liver fibrosis in patients with CLD.The liver fibrosis stage was categorized into mild and advanced fibrosis based on pathological findings.RESULTS The dPCR assay revealed that S.salivarius was highly positive for the tnpA gene.The lower limit of quantification for dPCR using the tnpA gene with a 1μL template comprising 1.28×102 CFU/mL was 4.3 copies.After considering the detection range in dPCR,we adjusted the extracted DNA concentration to 5.0×10-4 ng/μL from 200 mg stool samples.The median bacterial loads of S.salivarius in stool sample from patients with mild and advanced fibrosis were 1.9 and 7.4 copies/μL,respectively.The quantification of S.salivarius load was observed more frequently in patients with advanced fibrosis than in those with mild fibrosis(P=0.032).CONCLUSION Quantifying of S.salivarius load using digital PCR is a useful biomarker for liver fibrosis in patients with CLD.
文摘Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of high-frequency electrosurgical knife surgery guided by painless digestive endoscopy(PDE)in elderly patients with gastrointestinal polyps(GP).Methods:A total of 100 elderly GP patients admitted between June 2021 and December 2022 were selected.Patients were randomly divided into two groups:the painless group(50 cases)underwent high-frequency electrosurgical knife surgery guided by PDE,while the conventional group(50 cases)underwent the same surgery guided by traditional digestive endoscopy(DE).The total treatment efficacy,perioperative indicators,gastrointestinal hormone levels,oxidative stress(OS)markers,and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Results:The total treatment efficacy in the painless group was higher than that in the conventional group,and perioperative indicators were superior in the painless group(P<0.05).One week after treatment,the gastrointestinal hormone levels and OS-related markers in the painless group were better than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).The complication rate in the painless group was lower than in the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion:High-frequency electrosurgical knife surgery guided by PDE improves the effectiveness of polyp removal in elderly GP patients and accelerates postoperative recovery.It also protects gastrointestinal function,reduces postoperative OS,and ensures higher surgical safety.

文摘Single-shot ultrafast compressed imaging(UCI)is an effective tool for studying ultrafast dynamics in physics,chemistry,or material science because of its excellent high frame rate and large frame number.However,the random code(Rcode)used in traditional UCI will lead to low-frequency noise covering high-frequency information due to its uneven sampling interval,which is a great challenge in the fidelity of large-frame reconstruction.Here,a high-frequency enhanced compressed active photography(H-CAP)is proposed.By uniformizing the sampling interval of R-code,H-CAP capture the ultrafast process with a random uniform sampling mode.This sampling mode makes the high-frequency sampling energy dominant,which greatly suppresses the low-frequency noise blurring caused by R-code and achieves high-frequency information of image enhanced.The superior dynamic performance and large-frame reconstruction ability of H-CAP are verified by imaging optical self-focusing effect and static object,respectively.We applied H-CAP to the spatial-temporal characterization of double-pulse induced silicon surface ablation dynamics,which is performed within 220 frames in a single-shot of 300 ps.H-CAP provides a high-fidelity imaging method for observing ultrafast unrepeatable dynamic processes with large frames.

文摘Soft magnetic composites made from metallic magnetic particles with an easy magnetization plane(referred to as easy-plane metallic soft magnetic composites(SMC))are considered ideal materials for the next generation of power electronic devices.This advantage is attributed to their ability to maintain high permeability at elevated frequencies.Despite these advantages,a definitive mathematical model that connects the high-frequency magnetic properties(e.g.,effective permeability)of easy-plane metallic SMCs to the intrinsic properties of the particles is still lacking.In this work,a theoretical calculation model for the effective permeability of easy-plane metallic SMCs was formulated.This model was derived from a skin effect-corrected Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert(LLG)equation and integrated with effective medium theory incorporating inter-particle interaction.To validate the model,we prepared samples of easy-plane Y_(2)Co_(17)particle/PU SMCs with varying particle sizes and volume fractions.The experimental results showed a strong agreement with the calculated values.This research offers critical theoretical backing for the design and optimization of soft magnetic materials intended for high-frequency applications.

文摘High-frequency pulsed(HFP)gas tungsten arc welding(GTAW)has shown excellent performance in welding of aluminum alloys in recent years,which makes itself a promisingly potential technique for part manufacturing in aviation industry.However,existing researches generally focuses on the effect of a single parameter while lacks multivariable researches.Considering of the fact that gap and misalignment are inevitable in real part clamping,adaptive intelligent welding is usually used during automatic manufacturing,which means under the control of filler wire amount per length of a weld,other parameters including current,welding speed and wire feed speed during one single weld are changing according to the specific clamping situation.Therefore,the influence of specific energy input led by different welding parameters within one adaptive welding program on microstructure and mechanical property of the weld needs to be clarified.This study investigates the effect of welding heat input(ranging from 1048.3 J/mm to 825.6 J/mm within one adaptive welding program control)on the formation quality of 3.25 mm thick 6061 aluminum alloy joints fabricated by HFP-GTAW with 4043 filler wire.According to the obtained results,non-monotonic relationship between heat input and porosity,with an optimal minimum of 4.92%achieved at an intermediate heat input of 856.8 J/mm.The 21.2%decrease of energy input during welding process would reduce the average grain size in the weld center and adjacent to fusion line by 18.6%and 19.4%,respectively.The ratios between fluctuation range to minimum value in average yield and the relative ranges of yield strength and ultimate tensile strength across the tested heat inputs were 14.7%and 12.7%,respectively.The findings provide a general overview on how the microstructure and mechanical properties would fluctuate in an adaptively controlled HFP-GTAW fabricated aluminum alloy weld.

文摘With the evolution of DC distribution networks from traditional radial topologies to more complex multi-branch structures,the number of measurement points supporting synchronous communication remains relatively limited.This poses challenges for conventional fault distance estimation methods,which are often tailored to simple topologies and are thus difficult to apply to large-scale,multi-node DC networks.To address this,a fault distance estimation method based on sparse measurement of high-frequency electrical quantities is proposed in this paper.First,a preliminary fault line identification model based on compressed sensing is constructed to effectively narrow the fault search range and improve localization efficiency.Then,leveraging the high-frequency impedance characteristics and the voltage-current relationship of electrical quantities,a fault distance estimation approach based on high-frequency measurements from both ends of a line is designed.This enables accurate distance estimation even when the measurement devices are not directly placed at both ends of the faulted line,overcoming the dependence on specific sensor placement inherent in traditional methods.Finally,to further enhance accuracy,an optimization model based on minimizing the high-frequency voltage error at the fault point is introduced to reduce estimation error.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a fault distance estimation error of less than 1%under normal conditions,and maintains good performance even under adverse scenarios.

文摘Excessive Fe^(3+) ion concentrations in wastewater pose a long-standing threat to human health.Achieving low-cost,high-efficiency quantification of Fe^(3+) ion concentration in unknown solutions can guide environmental management decisions and optimize water treatment processes.In this study,by leveraging the rapid,real-time detection capabilities of nanopores and the specific chemical binding affinity of tannic acid to Fe^(3+),a linear relationship between the ion current and Fe^(3+) ion concentration was established.Utilizing this linear relationship,quantification of Fe^(3+) ion concentration in unknown solutions was achieved.Furthermore,ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt was employed to displace Fe^(3+) from the nanopores,allowing them to be restored to their initial conditions and reused for Fe^(3+) ion quantification.The reusable bioinspired nanopores remain functional over 330 days of storage.This recycling capability and the long-term stability of the nanopores contribute to a significant reduction in costs.This study provides a strategy for the quantification of unknown Fe^(3+) concentration using nanopores,with potential applications in environmental assessment,health monitoring,and so forth.
