In this study, with the initial inner-core size(i.e., the radius of maximum wind—RMW)varied from 20–180 km in idealized simulations using two different numerical models, we found a nonmonotonic dependence of the lifetime maximum intensification rate(LMIR) on the inner-core size. Namely, there is an optimal innercore size for the LMIR of a TC. Tangential wind budget analysis shows that, compared to large TCs, small TCs have large inward flux of absolute vorticity due to large absolute vorticity inside the RMW. However, small TCs also suffer from strong lateral diffusion across the eyewall, which partly offsets the positive contribution from large inward flux of absolute vorticity. These two competing processes ultimately lead to the TC with an intermediate initial inner-core size having the largest LMIR. Results from sensitivity experiments show that the optimal size varies in the range of 40–120 km and increases with higher sea surface temperature, lower latitude, larger horizontal mixing length, and weaker initial TC intensity. The 40–120 km RMW corresponds to the inner-core size most commonly found for intensifying TCs in observations, suggesting the natural selection of initial TC size for intensification. This study highlights the importance of accurate representation of TC inner-core size to TC intensity forecasts by numerical weather prediction models.展开更多

文摘Recent observational and numerical studies have revealed the dependence of the intensification rate on the inner-core size of tropical cyclones(TCs). In this study, with the initial inner-core size(i.e., the radius of maximum wind—RMW)varied from 20–180 km in idealized simulations using two different numerical models, we found a nonmonotonic dependence of the lifetime maximum intensification rate(LMIR) on the inner-core size. Namely, there is an optimal innercore size for the LMIR of a TC. Tangential wind budget analysis shows that, compared to large TCs, small TCs have large inward flux of absolute vorticity due to large absolute vorticity inside the RMW. However, small TCs also suffer from strong lateral diffusion across the eyewall, which partly offsets the positive contribution from large inward flux of absolute vorticity. These two competing processes ultimately lead to the TC with an intermediate initial inner-core size having the largest LMIR. Results from sensitivity experiments show that the optimal size varies in the range of 40–120 km and increases with higher sea surface temperature, lower latitude, larger horizontal mixing length, and weaker initial TC intensity. The 40–120 km RMW corresponds to the inner-core size most commonly found for intensifying TCs in observations, suggesting the natural selection of initial TC size for intensification. This study highlights the importance of accurate representation of TC inner-core size to TC intensity forecasts by numerical weather prediction models.

文摘We present and explore a new shock-capturing particle hydrodynamics approach.Our starting point is a commonly used discretization of smoothed particle hydrodynamics.We enhance this discretization with Roe’s approx-imate Riemann solver,we identify its dissipative terms,and in these terms,we use slope-limited linear reconstruction.All gradients needed for our method are calculated with linearly reproducing kernels that are constructed to enforce the two lowest-order consistency relations.We scrutinize our reproducing kernel implementation carefully on a“glass-like”particle distribution,and we find that constant and linear functions are recovered to machine precision.We probe our method in a series of challenging 3D benchmark problems ranging from shocks over instabilities to Schulz-Rinne-type vorticity-creating shocks.All of our simulations show excellent agreement with analytic/reference solutions.

文摘Lead-tin(Pb-Sn)perovskites with an ideal bandgap of 1.34-1.40 eV show great promise in perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Recently,to address the environmental pollution and Sn^(2+)oxidation problems of dimethyl sulfoxide,methylammonium acetate(MAAc)ionic liquid has been developed as an alternative to fabricate ideal bandgap MAPb_(0.7)Sn_(0.3)I_(3)(1.36 eV)film via hot-casting in air.However,the spontaneous crystallization of Pb-Sn perovskite initiated by heat-induced supersaturation is fast and random,setting critical challenges in regulating crystal growth during the film-forming process.Herein,a lattice activation strategy is developed to control the crystallization dynamics of MAPb_(0.7)Sn_(0.3)I_(3)in MAAc to produce films with micrometer-sized grains in air.FA is shown to activate the crystal lattice that facilitates the formation of intermediates and balances the crystal growth of MAPb_(0.7)Sn_(0.3)I_(3),producing films with a grain size of 2.78±0.17μm.Furthermore,4-fluoro-phenethylammonium and phenethylammonium are adopted to passivate the defects in the film and promote the energy level alignment at the top interface,respectively.The optimized PSC device achieved an efficiency of 18.24%with a short-circuit current of 29.84 mA/cm^(2),which are both the highest values in 1.36 eV Pb-Sn PSCs to date.Notably,the unencapsulated devices show excellent storage and air stability under various conditions.

文摘Mechanical stability is critically essential in the design of thermoelectric devices.In this study,we employed first-principles calculations based on density functional theory to investigate the failure mechanisms at the CoSb_(3)/Ni interface.Our findings reveal that the CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(100)and CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(111)_1 configurations are favorable interface structures.The ideal tensile strength of the CoSb_(3)/Ni interface is markedly lower than that of bulk CoSb_(3),which can be attributed to structural rearrangements near the interface that weaken the strength of the Co–Sb bonds.Interface failure occurs in CoSb_(3),where covalent Sb–Sb bonds exhibit a tendency to soften prior to the ionic Co–Sb bonds due to their comparatively lower rigidity.Consequently,the breakage of the Co–Sb bonds leads to interface failure.Structural failure at both single-layer Sb_CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(100)and single-layer Sb_CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(111)_1 interfaces results from ruptures in intermediate Co–Sb bonds in CoSb_(3),whereas failures at double-layer Sb_CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(100)and double-layer Sb_CoSb_(3)(100)/Ni(111)_1 interfaces stem from fractures in the uppermost Co–Sb bonds.This behavior is primarily driven by atomic rearrangements near the single-layer Sb_CoSb_(3)interface,which promote bond formation between Sb–Ni and Co–Ni,thereby enhancing stability within the superstructure of CoSb_(3).This study will provide a theoretical basis for the interface design of thermoelectric devices.
文摘Objectives:In this study,we examined the psychological impact of hierarchical and authoritarian structures in elite sports teams in South Korea on the ego formation and mental health of athletes.We aimed to analyze how these environments shape psychological well-being in athletes,drawing on Freud’s group psychology theory,while integrating perspectives from the Self-DeterminationTheory(SDT)and Social Identity Theory(SIT).Methods:We applied a qualitative case-study approach,with data collected through in-depth interviews with eight retired elite table tennis players from South Korea.These athletes shared their experiences with psychological mechanisms in their teams and how those mechanisms impacted their mental health throughout their careers.We analyzed the collected data using thematic analysis.Results:The investigated psychological mechanisms significantly influenced the ego development and psychological well-being in athletes.In hierarchical and authoritarian environments,identification and ego idealization suppressed the autonomy of the athletes.Hierarchical order and obedience to authority figures exert significant pressure on athletes to conform,impeding the development of an independent ego.Furthermore,group pressure exacerbates ego erosion and psychological stress,while corporal punishment reinforces psychological pressure and hinders ego integrity.The integration of the SDT highlights the need for autonomy-supportive environments to mitigate such risks,while the SIT emphasizes balancing individual identity with group cohesion to address identity conflicts and psychological tension.Conclusion:Hierarchical structures and authoritarian dynamics in South Korean elite sports teams critically suppress autonomy in athletes,leading to psychological distress and identity conflicts.This study highlights the urgent need for systemic interventions to reform coaching practices and foster autonomysupportive environments.These results contribute to the global discourse on the mental health of athletes in elite sports and offer actionable strategies for improving long-term well-being.Finally,this study provides practical recommendations adaptable to diverse cultural and sporting contexts,enhancing athlete mental health worldwide.
文摘Second language(L2)motivation has been a topic which receives intensive attention.However,the peer effect on L2 motivation is insufficiently researched,although it is considered a crucial factor which may significantly mediate learners’L2 motivation.Hence,the current study adopted Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System(L2MSS)as a theoretical framework and investigated in which specific aspects peers might affect the learners’L2 motivation and whether such effect was long-lasting.The research was designed as a small-scale qualitative study which was located in a language-focused experimental class project in China.Ten participants were recruited and individual interviews were conducted.The results demonstrated that,first,peers could remarkably influence the L2 motivation possessed by the students in the experimental class since they tended to create a clearer ideal L2 self and a more powerful ought-to L2 self.Second,although they had both positive and negative views towards the curriculum,a motivated peer climate could alleviate the pressure caused by the curriculum and reinforce positive attitudes.Third,such peer effect was not long-lasting.Based on the research results,pedagogical implications were proposed in terms of establishing a positive peer group and adjusting the emphasis of the curriculum.

文摘Parkinson's disease(PD)is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder with complex pathology and multiple membrane barriers that hinder drug delivery,resulting in the absence of ideal therapeutic drugs with minimal side effects[1].Recently,natural medicine has garnered significant attention due to its remarkable efficacy and limited side effects.Icariin,a naturally occurring flavonoid,exhibits excellent potential as a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative disease[2].However,its clinical application is limited by poor water solubility,low bioavailability,and high clearance rates.Here,an aqueous formulation of icariin/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HP-β-CD)supramolecular inclusion complex was obtained to optimize icariin properties.Furthermore,icariin cyclodextrin supramolecular inclusion complex based thermosensitive(icariin gels)was innovated.At lower temperatures,it remained in a liquid phase with high fluidity.Upon reaching the gelation temperature,it underwent a transition to a gel phase with significantly reduced fluidity,which may be suitable for the design of an intranasal delivery system for PD treatment.The innovative approach capitalizes on the exceptional characteristics of HP-β-CD,which was utilized to synergize with nasal delivery for targeted brain delivery and with icariin for PD treatment[3,4].
文摘Although the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)model has been widely applied in water quality assessment by numerous studies,several common limitations remain unresolved.Specifically:1)Subjective elements in methods such as fuzzy theory and the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)may distort evaluation outcomes;2)The utilization of raw sample data is in‐sufficient when constructing evaluation matrices;3)The traditional entropy weight method in TOPSIS merely reflects statistical character‐istics of the final matrix while neglecting richer information embedded in raw datasets.To address these issues,we proximate probability distribution function of various indicators by using cubic spline interpolation and fully exploit information in the existing massive sample data.In this paper,the entropy weight method is enhanced based on the concept mentioned above and integrated with TOPSIS model to construct a novel evaluation model.Furthermore,the experimental analysis using wastewater monitoring data from Guizhou Province,China,verifies its practicality,and its results provide valuable references for local water environmental management.
