文摘The shale gas development in China faces challenges such as complex reservoir conditions and high development costs.Based on the pore pressure and geostress coupling theory,this paper studies the geostress evolution laws and fracture network characteristics of shale gas infill wells.A mechanism model of CN platform logging data and geomechanical parameters is established to simulate the influence of parent well’s production on the geostress in the infill well area.It is suggested that with the increase of production time,normal fault stress state and horizontal stress deflection will occur.The smaller the parent well spacing and the longer the production time,the earlier the normal fault stress state appears and the larger the range.Based on the model,the fracture network morphology and construction parameters of infill wells are optimized.parentparentparentparent The results indicate that:1:A well spacing of 500 m achieves a Pareto optimum between“full reserve coverage”and“stress barrier”;2:A parent well recovery degree of 30%corresponds to the critical point of stress reversal,where the lateral deflection rate of the infill fracture is less than 8%and the SRV loss is minimized;3:6-cluster intensive completion with twice the liquid intensity increases the fracture complexity index by 1.7 times,enhances well group EUR by 15.4%,and reduces single-well cost by 22%.This research fills the theoretical gap in the collaborative optimization of“multi-parameter,multi-objective and multi-constraint”and provide parameter optimization basis for shale gas infill well development in China and help to improve the development efficiency and economic benefits.
文摘The most common aspect of water conveyance tunnel construction is the use of horizontal and sub-horizontal exploration drilling of headings of a tunnel to predict geology and groundwater conditions.The instability of boreholes,extreme loss of circulation,and high-head inflow are also common in fractured strata,which often inhibit completion of probe holes and the reliability of coring,packer testing,and grouting tests.Casing,consequently,is a significant enabling technology to stabilize fractured intervals and has a hydraulic isolation under coupled mechanical and hydrogeological disturbances.The review is a synthesis of research and engineering experience on methods of casing to be used in horizontal drilling of fractured rock masses used in the exploration of water conveyance tunnels.The geological and working environment is initially outlined with a focus on fracture-adaptable instability processes and the special goings on of underground drilling,such as the restricted workspace,cuttings difficult to move,and fast movement of the competent and crushed regions.Types of casing systems are then listed,including both standard threaded steel strings and telescopic programs,and more specialized casing system types,including expandable casing,swellable sealing elements,and external casing packers.Special focus is made on the sealing of annulus in horizontal holes,wherein slurry loss,gravity segregation,and non-uniform borehole geometry usually worsen isolation.Lastly,the article suggests adaptive choice of strategy according to real-time drilling reaction,and research priorities,such as tunnel-specific performance measurements,coupled hydro-mechanical modelling,and field trials of sophisticated sealing material and data-driven choice making.

文摘Antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs) are recognized as a primary threat to the sustainability of environment and human health in the 21^(st) century.Nanomaterials(NMs) have attracted substantial attention due to their unique dimensions and structures.Unfortunately,emerging evidence suggests that NMs may facilitate the transmission of ARGs.It is crucial to elucidate how NMs affect the evolution and dissemination of ARGs.The current review comprehensively examines the role of NMs in the widespread transmission of ARGs in aquatic environments and the underlying mechanisms involved in the process.It aims to clarify the effects and mechanisms of NMs on the horizontal gene transfer processes that are associated with ARGs,including the enhancement of cell membrane permeability,the formation of nanopores on membranes,promotion of mutagenesis,and the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROSs).Furthermore,the trade-off between the removal of ARGs and horizontal transfer has been elucidated.The review aspires to guide future research directions,advance knowledge on the implications of NMs in the field of ARGs' transmission,and provide a theoretical foundation for the development of safer and more effective applications of NMs.

文摘The current inertial measurement unit(IMU)and odometry fusion navigation algorithms often incorporate non-holonomic constraints(NHC)to obtain three-dimensional velocity in the navigation frame.However,due to the integral nature of the dead reckoning algorithm,the attitude errors of the IMU accumulate over time,causing the velocity transformation results to fail to accurately reflect the threedimensional velocity in the navigation frame.Based on the fact that during a vehicle's horizontal and uniform motion,the vertical acceleration is consistent with gravitational acceleration,this paper proposes an IMU/odometry fusion navigation algorithm based on horizontal attitude constraints(HAC).Building on non-holonomic constraints,this algorithm determines the motion state of the vehicle through accelerometer output and zeroes out the pitch and roll angles during horizontal and uniform motion.Verified through two sets of real-world vehicle test data,this algorithm improves horizontal positioning accuracy by approximately 63%and 70%,and vertical positioning accuracy by 98%and 97%,compared with the traditional NHC IMU/odometer fusion algorithm.

文摘Preserving beam quality during the transport of high-brightness electron bunches is crucial for advanced accelerator applications,such as particle colliders,free-electron lasers,and recirculating linacs.However,coherent synchrotron radiation(CSR)significantly degrades beam quality when electron bunches pass through multi-bend isochronous beamlines,particularly for short bunches with non-ideal longitudinal profiles.Although several methods have been proposed to mitigate CSR effects,most rely on small-angle approximations or are limited to idealized bunch profiles.In this study,we present two improved methods for designing isochronous triple-bend achromat(TBA)beamlines that effectively mitigate CSR-induced emittance growth and longitudinal profile distortion without relying on small-angle approximations.The first method,an enhanced integral optimization approach,simplifies numerical optimization and can accurately handle larger deflection angles,making it suitable for practical applications that require flexible lattice configurations.The second method,an optimized I-matrix approach,completely cancels steady-state and transient CSR kicks through specific matrix constraints and higher-order dispersion optimization,enabling effective CSR suppression even with very large deflection angles.Systematic simulations demonstrate that both methods achieve excellent preservation of transverse emittance and longitudinal profiles.

文摘With the continuous development of the offshore wind industry,the design concept of composite foundation has been given attention in the past decade.This paper presents an accurate method for investigating the horizontal vibration of monopile-friction wheel composite foundations in layered saturated soil.Firstly,the three-dimensional continuum mechanics theory with the range of linear elasticity is introduced to calculate the frictional resistance distributed on the upper soil surface.Then,the resistances of multilayered soils and inviscid seawater to the pile shaft under horizontal harmonic excitation are obtained using Novak's plane strain model,Biot's porous media theory and radiationwave theory.Thirdly,the expressions for the deformation,bending moment and internal force of the Euler-Bernoulli pile are derived using the boundary conditions with definitephysical meaning and transfer matrix method.By comparing with the results of 1g laboratory test and the idealized formula reported by the literature,the rationality and accuracy of the developed dynamical model can be verified.Finally,this paper conducts a series of worked examples to investigate the influencesof the elastic modulus and thickness of three-layer saturated soil and the location of interlayer soil on the horizontal dynamic vibration of composite foundation.The results show that an increase in elastic modulus of the surface soil is an effective way to improve the dynamic stability of the composite foundation in service conditions.The conclusions drawn from the numerical examples can develop some guidelines for the current foundation design of offshore wind turbines.

文摘To address the limitations of the sand cat swarm optimization(SCSO) algorithm which are slow convergence and low accuracy in complex problems,this study proposes an improved SCSO(ISCSO) algorithm that integrates multiple enhancement strategies.Firstly,Kent chaotic mapping initializes the population for uniform distribution.Secondly,somersault foraging strategy is introduced during the search and attack phases,allowing the algorithm to escape local optima by intercepting evasive prey.Simultaneously,an adaptive Lévy flight strategy is incorporated into the attack phase to bolster global exploration.Finally,the vertical and horizontal crossover strategy is implemented to enhance population diversity.The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using 16 benchmark test functions.The experimental results demonstrate that ISCSO significantly outperforms the original SCSO and shows notable advantages over other metaheuristic algorithms.Furthermore,application to a pressure vessel design problem verifies ISCSO's effectiveness in solving practical engineering optimization challenges.

文摘With the rapid advancement of optoelectronic technology,high-performance photodetectors are increasingly in demand in fields such as environmental monitoring,optical communication,and defense systems,where ultraviolet detection is critical.However,conventional semiconductor materials suffer from limited UV-visible detection capabilities owing to their narrow bandgaps and high dark currents.To address these challenges,wide-bandgap semiconductors have emerged as promising alternatives.Here,we fabricated a horizontally structured n–n heterojunction photodetector by growingβ-Ga_(2)O_(3) on Si–GaN via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.The device exhibits a self-powered photocurrent of 3.5 nA at zero bias,enabled by the photovoltaic effect of the space charge region.Under 254-nm and 365-nm illumination,it exhibits rectification behavior,achieving a responsivity of 0.475 m A/W(0 V,220??W/cm~2 at 254 nm)and 257.6 mA/W(-5 V),respectively.Notably,the photodetector demonstrates a high photocurrent-to-dark current ratio of 10~5 under-5-V bias,highlighting its potential for self-powered and high-performance UV detection applications.

文摘In-situ heating conversion is the most practical recovery method for lacustrine low-to-medium maturity shale oil.However,the energy output-input ratio must exceed the economic threshold to achieve commercial development.This paper systematically investigates the mechanism of super-rich accumulation of organic matter in continental shale,sweet spot evaluation,optimal heating windows,and appropriate well types and patterns from the perspectives of enhancing energy output and reducing energy input.(1)The super-rich accumulation of organic matter in lacustrine shale is primarily controlled by the intensity,frequency,and preservation of external material inputs,and is related to moderate volcanic and hydrothermal activities,marine transgressions,with total organic carbon content greater than or equal to 6%.(2)The quality of organic-rich intervals is related to the type of source material and hydrocarbon generation potential.The in-situ conversion-derived hydrocarbon quality index(HQI)is established,and the zones exhibiting HQI>450 are defined as sweet spots.(3)Considering the characteristics of the organic matter conversion material field and seepage field,the temperature interval 300-370℃is recommended as the optimal heating window for the Chang 7_(3)sub-member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Ordos Basin.Based on the advantages of thermal conductivity,permeability,and hydrocarbon expulsion efficiency along the bedding direction during in-situ heating,the“horizontal well heating+vertical well development”scheme is proposed,which has demonstrated significant enhancement in both recovery factor and energy output-input ratio,making it the optimal in-situ conversion process.The research findings provide a theoretical and technical foundation for the economical and efficient development of low-to-medium maturity shale oil.
文摘Federated Learning(FL)has become a leading decentralized solution that enables multiple clients to train a model in a collaborative environment without directly sharing raw data,making it suitable for privacy-sensitive applications such as healthcare,finance,and smart systems.As the field continues to evolve,the research field has become more complex and scattered,covering different system designs,training methods,and privacy techniques.This survey is organized around the three core challenges:how the data is distributed,how models are synchronized,and how to defend against attacks.It provides a structured and up-to-date review of FL research from 2023 to 2025,offering a unified taxonomy that categorizes works by data distribution(Horizontal FL,Vertical FL,Federated Transfer Learning,and Personalized FL),training synchronization(synchronous and asynchronous FL),optimization strategies,and threat models(data leakage and poisoning attacks).In particular,we summarize the latest contributions in Vertical FL frameworks for secure multi-party learning,communication-efficient Horizontal FL,and domain-adaptive Federated Transfer Learning.Furthermore,we examine synchronization techniques addressing system heterogeneity,including straggler mitigation in synchronous FL and staleness management in asynchronous FL.The survey covers security threats in FL,such as gradient inversion,membership inference,and poisoning attacks,as well as their defense strategies that include privacy-preserving aggregation and anomaly detection.The paper concludes by outlining unresolved issues and highlighting challenges in handling personalized models,scalability,and real-world adoption.
