文摘Hydraulic stimulation technology is widely employed to enhance the permeability of geothermal reservoirs.Nevertheless,accurately predicting hydraulic fracture propagation in complex geological conditions remains challenging,thereby hindering the effective utilization of existing natural fractures.In this study,a phase field model was developed utilizing the finite element method to examine the influence of fluid presence,stress conditions,and natural fractures on the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures.The model employs Biot's poroelasticity theory to establish the coupling between the displacement field and the fluid field,while the phase field theory is applied to simulate fracture behavior.The results show that whenσ_(x0)/σ_(y0)<3 or qf<20 kg/(m^(3)·s),the presence of natural fractures can alter the original propagation direction of hydraulic fractures.Conversely,in the absence of these conditions,the propagation path of natural fractures is predominantly influenced by the initial stress field.Furthermore,based on the analysis of breakdown pressure and damage area,the optimal intersection angle between natural fractures and hydraulic fractures is determined to range from 45°to 60°.Finally,once a dominant channel forms,initiating and propagating hydraulic fractures in other directions becomes increasingly difficult,even in highly fractured areas.This method tackles the challenges of initiating and propagating hydraulic fractures in complex geological conditions,providing a theoretical basis for optimizing Enhanced Geothermal System(EGS)projects.

文摘Rice(Oryza sativa L.)plays a pivotal role in global food security,yet its breeding is constrained by its long generation time and seasonality.To enhance rice breeding efficiency and meet future food demands,we have developed a vertical hydroponic breeding system integrated with light-emitting diodes(LEDs)light-ing in a closed plant factory(PF),which significantly accelerates rice growth and generation advance-ment.The results show that indica rice can be harvested as early as after 63 days of cultivation,a 50%reduction compared with field cultivation,enabling the annual harvesting of 5-6 generations within the PF.A hyperspectral imaging(HSI)system and attenuated total reflectance infrared(ATR-IR)spec-troscopy were further employed to characterize the chemical composition of the PF-and field-cultivated rice.Metabolomics analysis with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)revealed that,com-pared with the field-cultivated rice,the PF-cultivated rice exhibited an up-regulation of total phenolic acids along with 68 non-volatile and 19 volatile metabolites,such as isovitexin,succinic acid,and methylillicinone F.Overall,this study reveals the unique metabolic profile of PF-cultivated rice and high-lights the potential of PFs to accelerate the breeding of crops such as rice,offering an innovative agricul-tural strategy to support food security in the face of global population growth and climate change.

文摘The emergence of next generation networks(NextG),including 5G and beyond,is reshaping the technological landscape of cellular and mobile networks.These networks are sufficiently scaled to interconnect billions of users and devices.Researchers in academia and industry are focusing on technological advancements to achieve highspeed transmission,cell planning,and latency reduction to facilitate emerging applications such as virtual reality,the metaverse,smart cities,smart health,and autonomous vehicles.NextG continuously improves its network functionality to support these applications.Multiple input multiple output(MIMO)technology offers spectral efficiency,dependability,and overall performance in conjunctionwithNextG.This article proposes a secure channel estimation technique in MIMO topology using a norm-estimation model to provide comprehensive insights into protecting NextG network components against adversarial attacks.The technique aims to create long-lasting and secure NextG networks using this extended approach.The viability of MIMO applications and modern AI-driven methodologies to combat cybersecurity threats are explored in this research.Moreover,the proposed model demonstrates high performance in terms of reliability and accuracy,with a 20%reduction in the MalOut-RealOut-Diff metric compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques.
文摘To investigate the overall performance of reverse energy bypass scramjet,firstly a variable spe⁃cific heat method combined with a chemical balance calculation module for combustion products were used to es⁃tablish a benchmark scramjet performance evaluation model.Based on the test data of typical flying point of Mach 7 with the altitude of 29 km,the reliability of the model was verified.The deviations of parameters such as the to⁃tal pressure loss of combustor between the model and the test data were analyzed.Furtherly,an analytical method for post-combustion magnetohydrodynamic power generation was established;by embedding the above method into the overall performance evaluation model,performance prediction considering the power generation effect was realized.Finally,based on the above model,variety regulations of the inlet and the outlet parameters of the power generation channel and performance parameters including the engine specific impulse and the unit thrust under different enthalpy extraction ratios and load factors were analyzed.It could be concluded that the model can reliably predict the variations of key parameters.As the value of the load factor increases,the value of the conduc⁃tivity required to reach the specified enthalpy extraction ratio first decreases and then increases,which is approxi⁃mately parabolic.In order to reduce the demand for the gas conductivity for MHD power generation,the load fac⁃tor should be around 0.5.When the load factor is 0.4 and the magnetic induction intensity is 2.5 T,if the enthalpy extraction ratio reaches 0.5%,the engine specific impulse performance reduces about 3.58%.

文摘The generation of optical vortices from nonlinear photonic crystals(NPCs)with spatially modulated second-order nonlinearity offers a promising approach to extend the working wavelength and topological charge of vortex beams for various applications.In this work,the second harmonic(SH)optical vortex beams generated from nonlinear fork gratings under Gaussian beam illumination are numerically investigated.The far-field intensity and phase distributions,as well as the orbital angular momentum(OAM)spectra of the SH beams,are analyzed for different structural topological charges and diffraction orders.Results reveal that higher-order diffraction and larger structural topological charges lead to angular interference patterns and non-uniform intensity distributions,deviating from the standard vortex profile.To optimize the SH vortex quality,the effects of the fundamental wave beam waist,crystal thickness,and grating duty cycle are explored.It is shown that increasing the beam waist can effectively suppress diffraction order interference and improve the beam’s quality.This study provides theoretical guidance for enhancing the performance of nonlinear optical devices based on NPCs.

文摘The ability to generate high pressures in a large-volume press(LVP)is crucial for the study of matter under extreme conditions.Here,we have achieved ultrahigh pressures of and 50 GPa,respectively,at room temperature and a high temperature of 1900 K∼60within a millimeter-sized sample volume in a Kawai-type LVP(KLVP)using hard tungsten carbide(WC)and newly designed assem-blies.The introduction of electroconductive polycrystalline boron-doped diamond and dense alumina wrapped with Cu foils into a large conventional cell assembly enables the detection of resistance variations in the Fe_(2)O_(3) pressure standard upon compression.The efficiency of pressure generation in the newly developed cell assembly equipped with conventional ZK10F WC anvils is significantly higher than that of conventional assemblies with some ultrahard or tapered WC anvils.Our study has enabled the routine gener-ation of pressures exceeding 50 GPa within a millimeter-sized sample chamber that have been inaccessible with traditional KLVPs.This advance in high-pressure technology not only breaks a record for pressure generation in traditional KLVPs,but also opens up new avenues for exploration of the properties of the Earth’s deep interior and for the synthesis of novel materials at extreme high pressures.

文摘The application of generative artificial intelligence(AI)is bringing about notable changes in anime creation.This paper surveys recent advancements and applications of diffusion and language models in anime generation,focusing on their demonstrated potential to enhance production efficiency through automation and personalization.Despite these benefits,it is crucial to acknowledge the substantial initial computational investments required for training and deploying these models.We conduct an in-depth survey of cutting-edge generative AI technologies,encompassing models such as Stable Diffusion and GPT,and appraise pivotal large-scale datasets alongside quantifiable evaluation metrics.Review of the surveyed literature indicates the achievement of considerable maturity in the capacity of AI models to synthesize high-quality,aesthetically compelling anime visual images from textual prompts,alongside discernible progress in the generation of coherent narratives.However,achieving perfect long-form consistency,mitigating artifacts like flickering in video sequences,and enabling fine-grained artistic control remain critical ongoing challenges.Building upon these advancements,research efforts have increasingly pivoted towards the synthesis of higher-dimensional content,such as video and three-dimensional assets,with recent studies demonstrating significant progress in this burgeoning field.Nevertheless,formidable challenges endure amidst these advancements.Foremost among these are the substantial computational exigencies requisite for training and deploying these sophisticated models,particularly pronounced in the realm of high-dimensional generation such as video synthesis.Additional persistent hurdles include maintaining spatial-temporal consistency across complex scenes and mitigating ethical considerations surrounding bias and the preservation of human creative autonomy.This research underscores the transformative potential and inherent complexities of AI-driven synergy within the creative industries.We posit that future research should be dedicated to the synergistic fusion of diffusion and autoregressive models,the integration of multimodal inputs,and the balanced consideration of ethical implications,particularly regarding bias and the preservation of human creative autonomy,thereby establishing a robust foundation for the advancement of anime creation and the broader landscape of AI-driven content generation.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries have gradually been commercialized due to their wide range of material sources and low cost.However,there are few studies focusing on the commercial sodium-ion battery safety,especially the relationship between heat and gas generation is unclear.This work conducts the thermal runaway(TR)experiments of commercial 18650 sodium-ion batteries with different states of charge(SOCs)under adiabatic accelerated rate calorimetry and localized overheating.The results show that heat generation values of 50% and 100%SOC batteries during TR are 175.2 and 328.2 J g^(-1),respectively.Whereas,0%SOC batteries do not trigger TR.Moreover,the reaction sources and pathways of gas generation during TR are critically sorted out.Finally,two important conclusions are obtained.(i)During the five stages of TR,the heat generation from the safe venting to the triggering of TR stage is the highest in 50%SOC batteries,accounting for 62.5% of the total heat generation.However,for 100%SOC batteries,the heat generation from triggering TR to maximum temperature stage has the largest proportion during TR,at 57%.The 50%SOC batteries present characteristic of slow heat generation,while the 100%SOC batteries show characteristics of accelerated heat generation.(ii)Based on dimensionless analysis,the heat/gas generation ratios of 50% and 100%SOC batteries are 0.262 and 0.028,respectively.The gas generation behavior occur earlier than heat generation behavior during the whole process of TR of sodium-ion batteries.This study provides a direction for the development of high-safety sodium-ion batteries and thermal runaway suppression technology.

文摘Conventional approaches for obtaining the second and third harmonics typically employ several nonlinear crystals to generate them,which is restricted in application due to the complexity of the optical path and the bulkiness of the device.In this work,we present a comprehensive theoretical and numerical investigation of the simultaneous generation and competition between the second harmonic waves(SHW)and the third harmonic waves(THW)in a single nonlinear crystal.Through analyzing both small-signal and large-signal regimes,we reveal the complex coupling mechanisms between SHW and THW generation processes.Using periodically poled lithium niobate as an example,we demonstrate that the relative conversion efficiencies between SHW and THW can be freely adjusted by controlling the input fundamental wave power.This work provides new insights for designing efficient frequency converters capable of generating both SHW and THW outputs with controllable intensity ratios.
文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)assisted ultrasound report generation represents a technology that leverages artificial intelligence to convert ultrasound imaging analysis results into structured diagnostic reports.By integrating image recognition and natural language generation models,AI systems can automatically detect and analyze lesions or abnormalities in ultrasound images,generating textual descriptions of diagnostic conclusions(e.g.,fatty liver,liver fibrosis,automated BIRADS grading of breast lesions),imaging findings,and clinical recommendations to form comprehensive reports.This technology enhances the efficiency and accuracy of imaging diagnosis,reduces physicians’workloads,ensures report standardization and consistency,and provides robust support for clinical decisionmaking.Current state-of-the-art algorithms for automated ultrasound report generation primarily rely on vision-language models,which harness the generalization capabilities of large language models and large vision models through multimodal(language+vision)feature alignment.However,existing approaches inadequately address challenges such as numerical measurement generation,effective utilization of report templates,incorporation of historical reports,learning text-image correlations,and overfitting under limited data conditions.This paper aims to introduce the current state of research on ultrasound report generation,the existing issues,and to provide some thoughts for future research.

文摘The coal-bearing source rocks in the Jurassic Shuixigou Group have received widespread attention as the primary source rocks in the Turpan-Hami Basin of China,but the hydrocarbon generation potential and process of the mudstone in the Shuixigou Group,especially the mudstone at the top of the Sangonghe Formation,are unclear.Taking the source rocks of the Xishanyao Formation and the Sangonghe Formation as objectives,this study conducted rock pyrolysis and gold tube simulation experiment to investigate their hydrocarbon generation characteristics and differences.Our results indicate that the source rocks of the Xishanyao Formation include mudstone,carbonaceous mudstone and coal,and the quality of the source rocks is highly heterogeneous;the source rocks of the Sangonghe Formation are mainly composed of mudstone,and it is a good gas source rock.Simulation experiments found that the activation energy required for the generation of gaseous hydrocarbons by the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation is lower than that by the mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation.The hydrocarbon generation process can be divided into three stages for both formations,but the gas generation potential of the Xishanyao Formation mudstone is higher than that of the Sangonghe Formation mudstone.A large amount of hydrocarbon was generated by the mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation when entering late thermal evolution,of which methane is dominant,mainly from the demethylation reaction of mature kerogen.On the other hand,a large amount of hydrocarbon was generated by the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation in the early stage of thermal evolution,of which light hydrocarbon and wet gas are dominant,mainly from the early cracking stage of kerogen.This difference may be attributed to the structure of kerogen.The mudstone of the Xishanyao Formation is conducive to the formation of highly mature dry gas reservoirs,while the mudstone of the Sangonghe Formation is conducive to the formation of low maturity condensate gas and volatile oil reservoirs.The research result provides a scientific basis for the comparison of oil and gas sources and the evaluation of oil and gas resources in the Turpan-Hami Basin.
