Using probability generating function method and eikonal approximation, we first convert the chemical master equation into the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and then find the dominant pathways between two steady states in the phase space by calculating zero-energy trajectories. We find that entropy productions are related to the actions of the forward and backward dominant pathways. At the coexistence point where the stabilities of the two steady states are equiv alent, both the system entropy change and the medium entropy change are zero; whereas at non-coexistence point both of them are nonzero.展开更多

For this, tensile tests of rocks under high-temperature treatment were conducted with a ϕ75 mm split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) to investigate the mesoscopic fracture and damage properties of rock. An improved scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experimental method was used to analyze the tensile fracture surfaces of rock samples. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed to assess evolution of mesoscopic damage of heat-damaged rock under tensile loading. A constitutive model describing the mesoscopic fractal damage under thermo-mechanical coupling was established. The results showed that the high temperatures significantly reduced the tensile strength and fracture surface roughness of the red sandstone. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the fracture surface of the samples that experienced tensile failure at 900 °C showed a flat surface. The standard deviation of elevation and slope angle of specimen fracture surface first increased and then decreased with increasing temperature. The threshold for brittle fracture of the heat-damaged red sandstone specimens was 600 °C. Beyond this threshold temperature, local ductile fracture occurred, resulting in plastic deformation of the fracture surface during tensile fracturing. With increase of temperature, the internal meso-structure of samples was strengthened slightly at first and then deteriorated gradually, which was consistent with the change of macroscopic mechanical properties of red sandstone. The mesoscopic characteristics, such as the number, mean side length, maximum area, porosity, and fractal dimension of crack, exhibited an initial decline, followed by a gradual increase. The development of microcracks in samples had significant influence on mesoscopic fractal dimension. The mesoscopic fractal characteristics were used to establish a mesoscopic fractal damage constitutive model for red sandstone, and the agreement between the theoretical and experimental results validated the proposed model.展开更多

The results show that including the contact effect can make a significant difference to the frequency-dependent electron transport properties. In the nonzero frequency case, the internal potential and the charge density are complex with extremely small imaginary parts. Importantly, the imaginary part of the charge density gives rise to a real ac conductance （admittance）, which corresponds to the charge-relaxation resistance.展开更多

Zero? point energy and zero? point fluctuation of the coupled system were shown. For the ground state of the coupled system, the quantum fluctuations of the flux and charge operators in the field and junction subsystems can exhibit smaller quantum noise than the zero point fluctuations of the individual subsystems. Thus, when the coupled system is in its lowest energy state, which means that no radiation appear, the two subsystems exhibit nonclassical behavior.展开更多

The simulation equilibrium morphologies of different poly（amic acid） （PAA） blend systems were investigated and compared with optical images of corresponding polyimide blend films obtained by experiment. The immiscible polyimide blend fihns containing nano-/micro-sized BN with vertical double percolation structure were prepared. The result indicated that the thermal conductivity of polyimide blend film with 25 wt% nano-sized BN reached 1,16 W/（m·K）, which was 236% increment compared with that of the homogenous film containing the same BN ratio. The significant enhancement in thermal conductivity was attributed to the good phase separation of polyimide matrix, which made the inorganic fillers selectively localized in one continuous phase with high packing density, consequently, forming the effective thermal conductive pathway.展开更多

However, the centrifugal test method may not be efficient according to the results of hydraulic conductivity tests and piping erosion tests. The reason why seepage deformation in model tests may deviate from similarity was first discussed in this work. Then, the similarity criterion for seepage deformation in porous media was improved based on the extended Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer equation. Finally, the coupled particle flow code–computational fluid dynamics(PFC-CFD) model at the mesoscopic level was proposed to verify the derived similarity criterion. The proposed model maximizes its potential to simulate seepage erosion via the discrete element method and satisfy the similarity criterion by adjusting particle size. The numerical simulations achieved identical results with the prototype, thus indicating that the PFC-CFD model that satisfies the improved similarity criterion can accurately reproduce the processes of seepage erosion at the mesoscopic level.展开更多

The proposed model maximizes its potential to simulate seepage erosion via the discrete element method and satisfy the similarity criterion by adjusting particle size. The numerical simulations achieved identical results with the prototype, thus indicating that the PFC-CFD model that satisfies the improved similarity criterion can accurately reproduce the processes of seepage erosion at the mesoscopic level.

文摘Several special mechanical properties,such as dilatancy and compressibility,of cemented paste backfill(CPB)are controlled by its internal microstructure and evolution.The mesoscopic structure changes of CPB during the development process were investigated.On the basis of the scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and mechanical test results of CPB,the particle size information of CPB was extracted,and a two-dimensional particle flow code(PFC)model of CPB was established to analyze the evolution rule of mesoscopic parameters during CPB development.The embedded FISH language in PFC was used to develop a program for establishing a PFC model on the basis of the SEM results.The mesoscopic parameters of CPB samples at different curing times,such as coordination number(C_(n)),contact force chain,and rose diagram,were obtained by recording and loading and used to analyze the intrinsic relationship between mesoscopic parameter variations and macroscopic mechanical response during CPB development.It is of considerable significance to establish the physical model of CPB using the PFC to reveal the mesoscopic structure of CPB.

文摘Vascular segmentation is a crucial task in biomedical image processing,which is significant for analyzing and modeling vascular networks under physiological and pathological states.With advances in fluorescent labeling and mesoscopic optical techniques,it has become possible to map the whole-mouse-brain vascular networks at capillary resolution.However,segmenting vessels from mesoscopic optical images is a challenging task.The problems,such as vascular signal discontinuities,vessel lumens,and background fluorescence signals in mesoscopic optical images,belong to global semantic information during vascular segmentation.Traditional vascular segmentation methods based on convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have been limited by their insufficient receptive fields,making it challenging to capture global semantic information of vessels and resulting in inaccurate segmentation results.Here,we propose SegVesseler,a vascular segmentation method based on Swin Transformer.SegVesseler adopts 3D Swin Transformer blocks to extract global contextual information in 3D images.This approach is able to maintain the connectivity and topology of blood vessels during segmentation.We evaluated the performance of our method on mouse cerebrovascular datasets generated from three different labeling and imaging modalities.The experimental results demonstrate that the segmentation effect of our method is significantly better than traditional CNNs and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
