This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.展开更多

Shale gas extraction poses risks such as induced seismicity and well closure, compounded by the limited availability of fi xed seismic monitoring stations nearby. To address these challenges, a dense observation array was developed within the study area to monitor and analyze microseismic activity during hydraulic fracturing. Microseismic events generated by hydraulic fracturing typically exhibit low amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio, rendering traditional manual analysis methods impractical. To overcome these limitations, an innovative artifi cial intelligence method combining picking-association-location (PAL) and match-expand- shift-stack (MESS) techniques (PALM) has been utilized for automated seismic detection. Numerous factors influence the accuracy of microseismic detection and localization. To evaluate these factors, the effects of various velocity structure models, instrument types, and station distributions on seismic location were analyzed and compared. The results indicate that the PALM method significantly mitigates the influence of velocity structure models on seismic location accuracy. Additionally, the use of broadband seismic instruments and a uniform station distribution enhances the precision of seismic location results. Furthermore, by integrating data from diff erent types of observation instruments, a comprehensive seismic catalog for the study area was established. These fi ndings not only enhance seismic location accuracy but also provide valuable guidance for optimizing regional seismic monitoring network design and improving seismic risk assessment.展开更多

文摘Accurate and rapid determination of source locations is of great significance for surface microseismic monitoring.Traditional methods,such as diffraction stacking,are time-consuming and challenging for real-time monitoring.In this study,we propose an approach to locate microseismic events using a deep learning algorithm with surface data.A fully convolutional network is designed to predict source locations.The input data is the waveform of a microseismic event,and the output consists of three 1D Gaussian distributions representing the probability distribution of the source location in the x,y,and z dimensions.The theoretical dataset is generated to train the model,and several data augmentation methods are applied to reduce discrepancies between the theoretical and field data.After applying the trained model to field data,the results demonstrate that our method is fast and achieves comparable location accuracy to the traditional diffraction stacking location method,making it promising for real-time microseismic monitoring.

文摘Low-frequency structural vibrations caused by poor rigidity are one of the main obstacles limiting the machining efficiency of robotic milling.Existing vibration suppression strategies primarily focus on passive vibration absorption at the robotic end and feedback control at the joint motor.Although these strategies have a certain vibration suppression effect,the limitations of robotic flexibility and the extremely limited applicable speed range remain to be overcome.In this study,a Magnetorheological Joint Damper(MRJD)is developed.The joint-mounted feature ensures machining flexibility of the robot,and the millisecond response time of the Magnetorheological Fluid(MRF)ensures a large effective spindle speed range.More importantly,the evolution law of the damping performance of MRJD was revealed based on a low-frequency chatter mechanism,which guarantees the application of MRJD in robotic milling machining.To analyze the influence of the robotic joint angle on the suppression effect of the MRJD,the joint braking coefficient and end braking coefficient were proposed.Parallel coordinate plots were used to visualize the joint range with the optimal vibration suppression effect.Finally,a combination of different postures and cutting parameters was used to verify the vibration suppression effect and feasibility of the joint angle optimization.The experimental results show that the MRJD,which directly improves the joint vibration resistance,can effectively suppress the low-frequency vibration of robotic milling under a variety of cutting conditions.
文摘Despite advances in surgery,chemotherapy,and radiotherapy,the treatment of colorectal cancer(CRC)requires more personalized approaches based on tumor biology and molecular profiling.While some relevant mutations have been associated with differential response to immunotherapy,such as RAS and BRAF mutations limiting response to anti-epithelial growth factor receptor drugs or microsatellite instability predisposing susceptibility to immune checkpoint inhibitors,the role of inflammation in dictating tumor progression and treatment response is still under investigation.Several inflammatory biomarkers have been identified to guide patient prognosis.These include the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio,Glasgow prognostic score(GPS)and its modified version,lymphocyte-Creactive protein ratio,and platelet-lymphocyte ratio.However,these markers are not yet included in the standard clinical management of patients with CRC,and further research is needed to evaluate their efficacy in different patient populations.A recent study by Wang et al,published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology,sheds light on the prognostic significance of pan-immune-inflammation value(PIV)in CRC,particularly concerning primary tumor location.Specifically,the authors found that a high PIV was strongly correlated with worse disease-free survival in patients with left-sided colon cancer,whereas no such association was observed in patients with right-sided colon cancer.Integrating tumor location into the prognostic assessment of CRC may improve our ability to more accurately identify high-risk patients and develop personalized treatment plans that are more likely to improve patient outcomes.

文摘Data centers operate as physical digital infrastructure for generating,storing,computing,transmitting,and utilizing massive data and information,constituting the backbone of the flourishing digital economy across the world.Given the lack of a consistent analysis for studying the locational factors of data centers and empirical deficiencies in longitudinal investigations on spatial dynamics of heterogeneous data centers,this paper develops a comprehensive analytical framework to examine the dynamic geographies and locational factors of techno-environmentally heterogeneous data centers across Chinese cities in the period of 2006–2021.First,we develop a“supply-demand-environment trinity”analytical framework as well as an accompanying evaluation indicator system with Chinese characteristics.Second,the dynamic geographies of data centers in Chinese cities over the last decades are characterized as spatial polarization in economically leading urban agglomerations alongside persistent interregional gaps across eastern,central,and western regions.Data centers present dual spatial expansion trajectories featuring outward radiation from eastern core urban agglomerations to adjacent peripheries and leapfrog diffusion to strategic central and western digital infrastructural hubs.Third,it is empirically verified that data center construction in Chinese cities over the last decades has been jointly influenced by supply-,demand-,and environment-side locational factors,echoing the efficacy of the trinity analytical framework.Overall,our findings demonstrate the temporal variance,contextual contingency,and attribute-based differentiation of locational factors underlying techno-environmentally heterogeneous data centers in Chinese cities.

文摘Microseismic (MS) source location plays an important role in MS monitoring. This paper proposes a MS source location method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and multi-sensor arrays, where a free weight joints the P-wave first arrival data. This method adaptively adjusts the preference for “superior” arrays and leverages “inferior” arrays to escape local optima, thereby improving the location accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of this method were validated through synthetic tests, pencil-lead break (PLB) experiments, and mining engineering applications. Specifically, for synthetic tests with 1 μs Gaussian noise and 100 μs large noise in rock samples, the location error of the multi-sensor arrays jointed location method is only 0.30 cm, which improves location accuracy by 97.51% compared to that using a single sensor array. The average location error of PLB events on three surfaces of a rock sample is reduced by 48.95%, 26.40%, and 55.84%, respectively. For mine blast event tests, the average location error of the dual sensor arrays jointed method is 62.74 m, 54.32% and 14.29% lower than that using only sensor arrays 1 and 2, respectively. In summary, the proposed multi-sensor arrays jointed location method demonstrates good noise resistance, stability, and accuracy, providing a compelling new solution for MS location in relevant mining scenarios.

文摘The study area is rich in shale gas resources and has reached the stage of comprehensive development. Shale gas extraction poses risks such as induced seismicity and well closure, compounded by the limited availability of fi xed seismic monitoring stations nearby. To address these challenges, a dense observation array was developed within the study area to monitor and analyze microseismic activity during hydraulic fracturing. Microseismic events generated by hydraulic fracturing typically exhibit low amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio, rendering traditional manual analysis methods impractical. To overcome these limitations, an innovative artifi cial intelligence method combining picking-association-location (PAL) and match-expand- shift-stack (MESS) techniques (PALM) has been utilized for automated seismic detection. Numerous factors influence the accuracy of microseismic detection and localization. To evaluate these factors, the effects of various velocity structure models, instrument types, and station distributions on seismic location were analyzed and compared. The results indicate that the PALM method significantly mitigates the influence of velocity structure models on seismic location accuracy. Additionally, the use of broadband seismic instruments and a uniform station distribution enhances the precision of seismic location results. Furthermore, by integrating data from diff erent types of observation instruments, a comprehensive seismic catalog for the study area was established. These fi ndings not only enhance seismic location accuracy but also provide valuable guidance for optimizing regional seismic monitoring network design and improving seismic risk assessment.

文摘The travel-time corrections for the primary seismic phases of 72 stations in the Guangdong seismic network,relative to the 1D South China travel-time model,were determined using joint hypocentral determination(JHD)and statistical analysis methods.The travel-time corrections for the Pg phase of 72 stations range between-0.25 s and 0.14 s,while the corrections for the Sg phase range between 0.27 s and 0.35 s,and those for the Pn phase are between-0.86 s and 0.07 s.The spatial distribution of travel-time corrections for Pg,Sg,and Pn phases of 72 stations correlates well with the geological structure in this region.This indicates that the travel-time corrections for Pg and Sg phases are mainly caused by the discrepancy between the actual crustal velocity structure beneath the stations and the 1D South China travel-time model.These corrections empirically compensate for systematic travel-time errors arising from such discrepancies.The primary factor contributing to the travel-time corrections for the Pn phase is the Moho undulations or tilt.These corrections are intended to compensate for systematic errors in travel time caused by variations in the actual Moho.By integrating the obtained travel-time corrections into the HYPO-SAT location algorithm,test results showed an obvious improvement in location accuracy and origin time precision for explosion events.The variation of horizontal distance between repeating earthquake pairs has also improved,with 86%of the repeating earthquake pair spacing being more accurately estimated after correction.This suggests the crucial significance of travel-time correction in earthquake location,and the consideration of travel-time correction exerts a notable impact on enhancing earthquake location accuracy.

文摘Effective isolation between the cement sheath and the sandstone is crucial for the development and production of oil and gas wells in sandstone formations.In this study,a cement-sandstone composite(CSC)was prepared,and based onμ-CT three-dimensional reconstruction imaging and finite element analysis(FEA)techniques,the stress distribution and potential failure mechanism at the cement-sandstone bonding interface under axial loading were analyzed.The key findings are as follows:(1)stress concentrations are highly likely to form at the gap between the cement and sandstone interface and around interfacial voids,with Von Mises stress reaching critical levels of 18.0-20.0 MPa at these locations,significantly exceeding the stress magnitudes in well-bonded regions;(2)the phenomenon of local stress concentration driven by interfacial defects can be identified as the main basis for predicting damage location in interfacial debonding and continuous shear under axial load;(3)ensuring tight cementation at the cement-sandstone interface and minimizing interfacial voids are paramount for preventing stress-induced failure;(4)the critical Von Mises stress value of 20 MPa at the interface defect can be used as a benchmark for material selection and designed to ensure long-term integrity in oil and gas well applications subjected to similar axial loads.These findings contribute to a more accurate understanding of the failure mechanism of the cement-sandstone interface and to the precise design of material properties,thereby ensuring the long-term integrity of oil and gas well applications subjected to similar axial loads.

文摘When tracking a unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)in complex backgrounds,environmen-tal noise and clutter often obscure it.Traditional radar target tracking algorithms face multiple lim-itations when tracking a UAV,including high vulnerability to target occlusion and shape variations,as well as pronounced false alarms and missed detections in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)envi-ronments.To address these issues,this paper proposes a UAV detection and tracking algorithm based on a low-frequency communication network.The accuracy and effectiveness of the algorithm are validated through simulation experiments using field-measured point cloud data.Additionally,the key parameters of the algorithm are optimized through a process of selection and comparison,thereby improving the algorithm's precision.The experimental results show that the improved algo-rithm can significantly enhance the detection and tracking performance of the UAV under high clutter density conditions,effectively reduce the false alarm rate and markedly improve overall tracking performance metrics.

文摘This letter is a commentary on the findings of Huang et al,who emphasize the prognostic value of tumor location in gastric cancer.Analyzing data from 3287 patients using Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox models,the authors found that the tumor location correlated with patient prognosis following surgery.Patients with tumors situated nearer to the stomach’s proximal end were associated with shorter survival periods and poorer outcomes.Notably,gender-based differences in tumor markers,particularly carbohydrate antigen 72-4,further highlight the need for sex-specific influence on the tumor location.Despite increasing recognition of tumor location as a prognostic factor,its role remains unclear in clinical prediction models for various cancers.This letter highlights the potential of incorporating tumor location into artificial intelligence-based prognostic tools to enhance prognostic models.It also outlines a stepwise framework for developing these models,from retrospective training to prospective multicenter validation and clinical implementation.In addition,it addresses the technical,ethical,and interoperability challenges critical to successful real-world prognosis.

文摘The carbon emissions and cost during the construction phase are significant contributors to the oilfield lifecycle.As oilfields enter the late stage,the adaptability of facilities decreases.To achieve sustainable development,oilfield reconstruction was usually conducted in discrete rather than continuous space.Motivated by economic and sustainability goals,a 3-phase heuristic model for oilfield reconstruction was developed to mine potential locations in continuous space.In phase 1,considering the process characteristics of the oil and gas gathering system,potential locations were mined in continuous space.In phase 2,incorporating comprehensive reconstruction measures,a reconstruction model was established in discrete space.In phase 3,the topology was further adjusted in continuous space.Subsequently,the model was transformed into a single-objective mixed integer linear programming model using the augmented ε-constraint method.Numerical experiments revealed that the small number of potential locations could effectively reduce the reconstruction cost,and the quality of potential locations mined in phase 1 surpassed those generated in random or grid form.Case studies showed that cost and carbon emissions for a new block were reduced by up to 10.45% and 7.21 %,respectively.These reductions were because the potential locations mined in 1P reduced the number of metering stations,and 3P adjusted the locations of metering stations in continuous space to shorten the pipeline length.For an old oilfield,the load and connection ratios of the old metering station increased to 89.7% and 94.9%,respectively,enhancing operation efficiency.Meanwhile,recycling facilitated the diversification of reconstruction measures and yielded a profit of 582,573 ¥,constituting 5.56% of the total cost.This study adopted comprehensive reconstruction measures and tapped into potential reductions in cost and carbon emissions for oilfield reconstruction,offering valuable insights for future oilfield design and construction.

文摘Rockburst is a common dynamic geological hazard,frequently occurring in underground engineering(e.g.,TBM tunnelling and deep mining).In order to achieve rockburst monitoring and warning,the microseismic moni-toring technique has been widely used in the field.However,the microseismic source location has always been a challenge,playing a vital role in the precise prevention and control of rockburst.To this end,this study proposes a novel microseismic source location model that considers the anisotropy of P-wave velocity.On the one hand,it assigns a unique P-wave velocity to each propagation path,abandoning the assumption of a homogeneous ve-locity field.On the other hand,it treats the P-wave velocity as a co-inversion parameter along with the source location,avoiding the predetermination of P-wave velocity.To solve this model,three various metaheuristic multi-objective optimization algorithms are integrated with it,including the whale optimization algorithm,the butterfly optimization algorithm,and the sparrow search algorithm.To demonstrate the advantages of the model in terms of localization accuracy,localization efficiency,and solution stability,four blasting cases are collected from a water diversion tunnel project in Xinjiang,China.Finally,the effect of the number of involved sensors on the microseismic source location is discussed.

文摘Cropland abandonment has been a widespread phenomenon in mountainous areas due to the increasing number of natural disasters and the massive migration of rural labor in the process of rapid urbanization.Land transfer is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring food security and fostering rural revitalization.How to promote land transfer in mountainous areas remains a challenging but important task.Nevertheless,there is a dearth of research examining land transfers among farm households that specifically address mountainous regions,and the influence of grassroots governance and geographic location has not been thoroughly elucidated within this particular context.Based on 895household samples collected in Dabie Mountainous Area in China,this study employs binary and ordinal logistic regression models to provide a more comprehensive analysis on land transfers among rural households and the determinants,including the decision to transfer land,the existence of land transfer rents,the channel of land transfer,the duration of the transfer,the pre-transfer cultivation situation,and the level of satisfaction with the land transfer rent.The findings reveal that grassroots governance,geographic location,livelihood capital,and demographic factors significantly influence land transfers among rural households.Specifically,villagers'public participation positively affects land transfer participation(β=0.235,p<0.05),while the operation of village rules and regulations negatively impacts it(β=-0.296,p<0.05).Village cadre satisfaction positively influences both land transfer rent(β=0.274,p<0.05)and rent satisfaction(β=0.303,p<0.05).Improved civil relations in the village correlate with lower land transfer rent(β=-0.511,p<0.05),while a better social atmosphere is associated with higher satisfaction with transfer rent(β=0.575,p<0.01).Households at higher elevations tend to prefer government-mediated land transfers with longer durations.The distances to the township and county centers have contrasting effects on land transfer rent,but their impacts on participation in land transfer,choice of transfer channel,and duration are consistent.The study also found that different types of livelihood capital,as well as the demographic characteristics of households,significantly affect various aspects of land transfer.These empirical findings can inform policymaking to promote more efficient land transfers in mountainous region.
