Results show that global subtropical highs respond to SST consistently. Subtropical high intensity correlates to the 3 months leading SST maximally. The relationship between SST and 500hPa height stands out in low latitudes. The time for 500hPa height reaching maximuxn correlation to SST is 2 months later in latitude of 10 degree and 9 months in latitude of 30 degree than equatorial zone. And the response of atmospheric circulation over extratropic performs as wave train, and the response is more significant in the condition of warmer SST. Persistence of SSTs and subtropical highs changes obviously from season to season. Minimum persistence of subtropical highs in September and October may relate to the low persistence of SSTs in August and September.展开更多

In these cases, the phase relations between the BH, the continental high （CH）, the subtropical high （SH） and the suddenly reversed TCs could be classified into types A, B, C and D. Types C and D were the focal point of this follow-up study, in which Typhoon Pabuk （2007） and Lupit （2009） were employed to conduct numerical simulations. The results showed that the reversed tracks of Pabuk （2007） and Lupit （2009） could have been affected by the BH, particularly in terms of the turning location and the trend of movement after turning. Specifically, the two main features for Pabuk （2007） in the BH perturbations were the deflection of its turning point and a distinct anticlockwise rotation. Lupit （2009） deviated to the southwest and finally made landfall in the Philippines, or experienced further eastward movement, in the perturbed BH. The impact mechanisms can be attributed to the change in the vorticity field transported from the BH, leading to an intensity variation of midlatitude systems. BHs may have a positive feedback effect on the strength of the westerly trough （TR）, as indicated by a weakened and strengthened TR corresponding to negative and positive BH perturbations, respectively.展开更多

Based on the finite element model, the dynamic performance, structural strength and stability of double-block ballastless track under high earthquake-intensity action are analyzed. The analysis shows that the relative displacement between the base slab of ballastless track and the subgrade may occur under 9 degree earthquake action. A new CRTS double-block ballastless track structure with a concave-convex structure between the base slab and the subgrade is proposed in the subgrade section, and its additional stress and relative displacement under earthquake are analyzed. The results show that the additional stress and relative displacement of the new ballastless track structure and the subgrade under 9-degree earthquake actions are small, which meet the high stability requirements of high-speed railway.展开更多

However, the significant compressive stress accumulated within the Al Ga N layer makes it challenging to achieve a smooth surface free of hexagonal hillocks on these templates. To address this issue, we investigate the mechanism of compressive stress accumulation during the growth of Al Ga N-based epilayers on HTA-Al N templates using in-situ curvature analysis in this study. To verify the mechanism, a low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayer is introduced between the Al N epilayer and the subsequent Al Ga N epilayer. The larger a-plane lattice constant of this interlayer relative to the Al Ga N epilayer slows the accumulation rate of compressive stress. The hexagonal hillock can be effectively suppressed and the surface of Al Ga N epilayer can be significantly regulated by adopting various low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayers. This work provides a comprehension on the stress accumulation mechanism in Al Ga N epilayers and a feasible method to obtain hillock-free surface of Al Ga N epilayers on HTA-Al N templates,which will be beneficial for fabricating Al Ga N based devices.展开更多

文摘According to the characteristics of complex terrain and bad geological conditions in the southwest mountainous area of China, it is proposed that cast-in situ double-block ballastless track with layers and blocks structure should be adopted preferentially in the subgrade section of high-speed railway, which is conducive to the construction, prolongation of service life and maintenance of the ballastless track. Based on the finite element model, the dynamic performance, structural strength and stability of double-block ballastless track under high earthquake-intensity action are analyzed. The analysis shows that the relative displacement between the base slab of ballastless track and the subgrade may occur under 9 degree earthquake action. A new CRTS double-block ballastless track structure with a concave-convex structure between the base slab and the subgrade is proposed in the subgrade section, and its additional stress and relative displacement under earthquake are analyzed. The results show that the additional stress and relative displacement of the new ballastless track structure and the subgrade under 9-degree earthquake actions are small, which meet the high stability requirements of high-speed railway.

文摘Based on the daily Japanese 55-yr reanalysis data,this study analyzes the maintenance mechanism for 53 boreal winter blocking highs around the Ural Mountains(UBHs)during 1958-2018 based on the atmospheric energy budget equations.After decomposing the circulation into background flow,low-frequency anomalies,and high-frequency eddies,it was found that the interaction between the background flow and low-frequency anomalies is conducive to the maintenance of the UBHs.Due to the southwestward gradient in the climatological mean air temperature over the Eurasian continent,it is easy for the air temperature anomalies as well as the wind velocity anomalies in the middle and lower troposphere induced by the UBHs to facilitate the positive conversion of baroclinic energy associated with the background flow into the UBHs.Likewise,the conversion of barotropic energy associated with the background flow is also evident in the upper troposphere,in which the climatological mean westerlies have evident southward gradient to the northwest of Lake Baikal and southwestward gradient over Barents Sea.Note that the conversion of baroclinic energy associated with the background flow is dominant throughout the lifecycle of UBHs,acting as the major contributor to the maintenance of the UBHs.Although transient eddies facilitate maintenance of the UBHs via positive conversion of barotropic energy in the middle and upper troposphere,they hinder the maintenance of UBHs via negative conversion of baroclinic energy in the lower troposphere.The diabatic heating anomalies tend to counteract the local air temperature anomalies in the middle and lower troposphere,which damps the available potential energy of UBHs and acts as a negative contributor to the UBHs.

文摘The service life of refractory brick in the slag tapping hole of gasifiers is a significant concern for long-term and stable operation.This study examined the damage mechanism of high chromia refractory of four commercial coal-water slurry gasifiers with their corresponding gasification coal samples and the corroded refractory bricks in the slag tapping hole of the gasifier.The slag characteristic,including crystallization and viscosity-temperature of four gasification coal samples were analyzed.The results revealed that the low viscosity slag could lead to more severe damage to refractory bricks.Given the risk of slag crystallization,it is recommended to establish a safe slag tapping temperature range should be set as tICT(initial crystallization temperature)−t_(2.5) when tICT is higher than t_(25).Upon examining interior morphology of these corroded refractory bricks,some cracks were observed within them.The chemical composition of molten slag was analyzed using SEM-EDS.However,XRD results found no spinel containing zirconium in these cracks.This suggests that the emergence of these cracks are mainly attributed to the molten slag penetration and the subsequent reaction with the refractory material.The difference in thermal expansion between the newly formed substances and refractory material is critical in forming these cracks.Furthermore,SEM-EDS analysis was also conducted on the slag-aggregate and the slag-matrix interface.The results reveal that the reduction in Cr_(2)O_(3) content is the earliest characteristic of damage in high chromia refractories.A proposed damage mechanism of refractory brick suggests that the matrix and aggregate of high chromia refractory are initially compromised because of the reduced Cr_(2)O_(3) content.Subsequently,the molten slag penetrates the interior of the refractory brick,forming new substances,leading to damage caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the new substances and the refractory brick.Understanding and preventing the reduction of Cr_(2)O_(3) content is vital to prolonging the service life of refractory brick in the slag tapping hole of the gasifier based on this damage mechanism.

文摘The laboratory established an efficient reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographyquadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS)qualitative method for screening more than 2000 kinds of risk substances(including local anesthetics,LAs)in cosmetics,which has been successfully applied in the analysis of actual samples.This work aims to develop a more convenient high performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(HPLC-QQQ-MS/MS)method for the quantitative determination of LAs.Samples were ultrasonically extracted with methanol,separated on an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm,2.7μm),and eluted with a gradient mobile phase consisting of 0.1%formic acid aqueous solution and methanol.Quantification was performed using the external standard method.The results show that all 23 LAs are effectively separated within 12 minutes,with good linearity in the corresponding concentration ranges and the correlation coefficients all greater than 0.99.The limits of detection(LOD)range from 0.0025 to 0.05μg/g,and the limits of quantification(LOQ)range from 0.01 to 0.1μg/g.The average recoveries of the 23 LAs in 5 blank cosmetic matrices are 80.68%-117.57%,with the relative standard deviations(RSDs)less than 5.98%.This method has good precision and high accuracy,and is suitable for the determination of LAs in 5 cosmetic matrices.

文摘The engineering application of low-alkali sulphoaluminate cement(L-SAC)is hindered due to the difficulty in adjusting the setting and hardening time.In this paper,lithium hydroxide and borax are mixed into L-SAC to regulate its setting and hardening process,so as to prepare a sulphoaluminate concrete material with high early strength and high fluidity.The effects of the ratio of lithium hydroxide to borax on the properties of L-SAC concrete were studied by hydration heat,XRD,TG-DTG,SEM and MIP.The experimental results show that the slump increases with the increase of borax content,and the early(3 h)strength increases with the increase of lithium hydroxide content.When 0.05% lithium hydroxide and 0.4% borax are added,the 0.5 h slump reaches 195 mm,and the 3 h compressive strength reaches 15.9 MPa.The increase of lithium hydroxide will promote the formation of early hydration products AFt and AH3 gel and accelerate the hydration process,while borax will inhibit the dissolution and hydration of cement and delay the setting and hardening process of concrete.The combination of the two ensures that the concrete has the characteristics of high early strength and high fluidity,and the early workability and mechanical properties can be controlled by the mix ratio.For long-term mechanical properties,the special concrete does not produce AFm,which can ensure the continuous development of strength.

文摘Coordinating light and nitrogen(N)distribution within a canopy is essential for improving rice yield and resource use efficiency.However,limited research has examined light and N distribution in response to planting density and N rate,and their relationships with grain yield,radiation use efficiency(RUE),and N use efficiency for grain production(NUEg)in rice.A two-year field experiment was conducted with two hybrid varieties under three N levels,0 kg ha^(-1)(N1),90 kg ha^(-1)(N2)and 180 kg ha^(-1)(N3),and two planting densities,22.2 hills m-2(D1)and 33.3 hills m^(-2)(D2).Results showed 3.4%higher yield and 4.4%higher NUEg under N2D2 compared with N3D1.The extinction coefficient for N(K_(N))and light(K_(L))and their ratio(K_(N)/K_(L))at heading stage were significantly influenced by N rate,planting density,and their interaction.K_(N)decreased with the increase of N input or planting density.Compared to N1,K_(N)decreased by 43.5 and 58.8%under N2 and N3,respectively,while K_(N)under D2 decreased by 16.0%compared to D1.Higher K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values occurred under low N rates,with opposite trends under high N rates.Increased planting density led to decreased K_(L)and K_(N)/K_(L)values.N2D2 demonstrated higher K_(L)and K_(N),and thus comparable K_(N)/K_(L),compared to N3D1.Correlation analysis revealed K_(L)negatively correlated with RUE,while K_(N)and K_(N)/K_(L)positively correlated with NUEg.These findings indicate that increasing planting density under reduced N input could maintain rice yield while enhancing resource use efficiency through regulation of canopy light and N distribution.

文摘In this study,we investigated the effect of high-solubility wheat gluten proteins(hs-WGP) prepared by pH-cycle treatment on soybean isolate-based extrudates.The results showed that the addition of hs-WGP can improve textural properties of soybean isolate-based extrudate via regulating the hardness to appropriate range.At molecular level,it was further found that the hs-WGP was cross-linked with soy protein isolate mainly through hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonding,and the spherical protein of soy protein isolate was wrapped by the hs-WGP,which weakened the thermal unfolding of globular proteins during heating process,reduced the degree of heat-curing gel,resulted in a reduction in hardness.In addition,hs-WGP/soybean protein composite extrudates possessed a more balanced amino acid composition,which have a positive impact on meat analogues at the nutritional level.

文摘High-temperature-annealed Al N(HTA-Al N) templates provide ideal substrates for high-quality Al Ga N epitaxy. However, the significant compressive stress accumulated within the Al Ga N layer makes it challenging to achieve a smooth surface free of hexagonal hillocks on these templates. To address this issue, we investigate the mechanism of compressive stress accumulation during the growth of Al Ga N-based epilayers on HTA-Al N templates using in-situ curvature analysis in this study. To verify the mechanism, a low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayer is introduced between the Al N epilayer and the subsequent Al Ga N epilayer. The larger a-plane lattice constant of this interlayer relative to the Al Ga N epilayer slows the accumulation rate of compressive stress. The hexagonal hillock can be effectively suppressed and the surface of Al Ga N epilayer can be significantly regulated by adopting various low-Al-content Al Ga N interlayers. This work provides a comprehension on the stress accumulation mechanism in Al Ga N epilayers and a feasible method to obtain hillock-free surface of Al Ga N epilayers on HTA-Al N templates,which will be beneficial for fabricating Al Ga N based devices.
