[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based ...[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based on the demonstration construction project of the ecological ditch-constructed wetland system in the Hetao Irrigation District,an experimental study was conducted from July to September 2023 to investigate the interception and purification effects of ecological ditches,constructed wetlands,and the combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system on farmland drainage pollutants.Key water quality parameters measured included total nitrogen(TN)concentration and total phosphorus(TP)concentration.[Results]Different treatment modes of ecological ditches and constructed wetlands have a certain removal effect on nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies.The ecological ditches treated with Astragalus laxmannii,Melilotus officinalis,Medicago sativa,bio-ball substrate,and bio-sheet substrate showed reduction efficiencies for TN and TP of 21.09% and 23.84%,12.06% and 26.67%,20.08% and 34.15%,23.65% and 20.56%,and 19.92% and 25.83%,respectively.The emergent plant area showed reduction efficiencies of 24.28%for TN and 17.89%for TP,while the submerged plant area achieved a reduction efficiency of 10.21%for both TN and TP.Among the different treatment modes,the ecological ditch with M.sativa performed better in TP removal,whereas the bio-ball substrate treatment mode showed higher effectiveness in TN removal.In addition,the emergent plant area exhibited better TP removal performance,while the submerged plant area was more effective in TN removal.The combined system of ecological ditch and constructed wetland achieved removal rates of 37.55% for TN and 11.47% for TP.It effectively facilitates the step-by-step interception and adsorption purification of pollutants,thereby showing significant removal and purification effects on nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants.This contributes to mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.[Conclusions]The combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system serves dual functions of agricultural drainage and pollutant interception and purification.It reduces the pollution load of farmland drainage on receiving water bodies to some extent and mitigates agricultural non-point source pollution.Therefore,it is a relatively suitable technology for managing agricultural non-point source pollution in the Hetao Irrigation District.展开更多

Methods: A total of 82 high-risk pregnant women with shoulder dystocia admitted for childbirth from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected and equally divided using a random number table. The experimental group received shoulder dystocia midwifery techniques combined with predictive nursing, while the reference group received routine midwifery care. Indicators such as the preventive effect on shoulder dystocia were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of shoulder dystocia in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group, the duration of labor was shorter, the amount of intra-partum bleeding was less, the incidence of adverse delivery outcomes was lower, and the score for fear of childbirth after intervention was lower than that in the reference group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing shoulder dystocia midwifery techniques combined with predictive nursing for high-risk pregnant women with shoulder dystocia can prevent shoulder dystocia and other adverse delivery outcomes, shorten the duration of labor, reduce intra-partum bleeding, and alleviate pregnant women’s fear of childbirth, demonstrating high nursing value.展开更多

文摘Understanding Cd contamination in the soil-rice ecosystem and the underlying its threshold and interaction effects is crucial for controlling Cd pollution and ensuring food safety.Although the quantitative relationships between Cd and environmental variables have been extensively studied,the threshold and interaction effects of multi-source environmental variables remain largely unexplored.This study employs a combination of random forest analysis and a human health risk model to investigate the effects of variables on Cd levels in rice grains,with the goal of quantifying their contributions and elucidating their relationships.The results indicated that the 15 selected variables collectively explained 47.36%of the variation in Cd content,with the top three variables being soil pH,distance from industrial park,and soil Zn.The majority of variables exhibited threshold effects on Cd levels in rice grains.By visualizing the interaction between Soil pH,distance from industrial park,and soil Zn with Cd levels in rice,we demonstrate the threshold effects of them on Cd level in rice grains,thereby providing further insight into the variation observed.Furthermore,oral intake of rice has been identified as the primary route of human exposure,significantly contributing to overall exposure pathways.Understanding these interactions is crucial for gaining insights into the underlying processes driving Cd pollution and fostering sustainable development within the industry.Our findings underscore the crucial need to consider multiple environmental variables and their interactions when managing heavy metals(HMs)contamination and mitigating health risks.

文摘[Objectives]To explore the control mode of farmland drainage pollutants and investigate the effects of ecological ditch and wetland on reducing farmland drainage pollutants in Hetao Irrigation District.[Methods]Based on the demonstration construction project of the ecological ditch-constructed wetland system in the Hetao Irrigation District,an experimental study was conducted from July to September 2023 to investigate the interception and purification effects of ecological ditches,constructed wetlands,and the combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system on farmland drainage pollutants.Key water quality parameters measured included total nitrogen(TN)concentration and total phosphorus(TP)concentration.[Results]Different treatment modes of ecological ditches and constructed wetlands have a certain removal effect on nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in water bodies.The ecological ditches treated with Astragalus laxmannii,Melilotus officinalis,Medicago sativa,bio-ball substrate,and bio-sheet substrate showed reduction efficiencies for TN and TP of 21.09% and 23.84%,12.06% and 26.67%,20.08% and 34.15%,23.65% and 20.56%,and 19.92% and 25.83%,respectively.The emergent plant area showed reduction efficiencies of 24.28%for TN and 17.89%for TP,while the submerged plant area achieved a reduction efficiency of 10.21%for both TN and TP.Among the different treatment modes,the ecological ditch with M.sativa performed better in TP removal,whereas the bio-ball substrate treatment mode showed higher effectiveness in TN removal.In addition,the emergent plant area exhibited better TP removal performance,while the submerged plant area was more effective in TN removal.The combined system of ecological ditch and constructed wetland achieved removal rates of 37.55% for TN and 11.47% for TP.It effectively facilitates the step-by-step interception and adsorption purification of pollutants,thereby showing significant removal and purification effects on nitrogen and phosphorus contaminants.This contributes to mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution.[Conclusions]The combined ecological ditch-constructed wetland system serves dual functions of agricultural drainage and pollutant interception and purification.It reduces the pollution load of farmland drainage on receiving water bodies to some extent and mitigates agricultural non-point source pollution.Therefore,it is a relatively suitable technology for managing agricultural non-point source pollution in the Hetao Irrigation District.

文摘Polymer surface modification constitutes a pivotal strategy for enhancing the efficacy of nanomedicine delivery,where intentional modifications(e.g.,PEGylation,hyaluronic acid coating)are designed to optimize nanocarrier performance.However,conventional approaches remain constrained by the impermeable stratum corneum in transdermal applications.Dissolving microneedles(DMNs)circumvent this barrier by creating transient microchannels,thereby offering an innovative route for cutaneous nanocarriers administration.Nevertheless,the DMN polymeric matrix may unintentionally alter the physicochemical attributes of loaded nanocarriers via non-covalent interactions,giving rise to a distinct“polymer modification effect”(PME)that differs from purposeful surface engineering.Such unintended interfacial phenomena can modulate nanocarrier characteristics and,consequently,dictate their in vivo fate,including release kinetics,biodistribution,clearance,cellular uptake,and other interactions with the biological system.Herein,we review documented cases of DMN polymer-nanocarrier modifications,elucidate the underlying mechanisms and implications of PME,and propose rational strategies for its precise regulation.This conceptual framework is expected to guide the rational design of next-generation nanocarrier-loaded DMN delivery systems.

文摘Existing studies on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)mainly focused on institutional features,macro-economic impacts,and trade-network structures,while its geographic attributes and their implications remain underexplored.Taking the RCEP as a case,this paper examines how the FTA reshapes China’s trade geography and validates these effects with an enhanced GTAP model,providing an empirical basis for advancing trade-geography theory.Key findings include:(1)RCEP significantly reduces regional trade costs.After full implementation of the agreement,the average tariffs among member countries will decrease to 40.5%of the pre-implementation level,while import and export trade facilitation levels improve by 34.3%and 29.6%,respectively.However,these improvements exhibit marked regional disparities.(2)RCEP asymmetrically promotes China’s foreign trade growth,with stronger import stimulation than export expansion,alongside significant product-specific variations.(3)The agreement reshapes China’s trade geography,driving a 7.66%increase in intra-RCEP trade while reducing extra-RCEP trade by 0.80%.(4)The restructuring of China’s trade patterns under RCEP emerges from the complex interplay of trade creation,diversion,and crowding-out effects.Accordingly,China should further harmonize regional tariff schedules,enhance trade-facilitation mechanisms,strengthen industrial competitiveness and expand multilateral partnerships.

文摘Aerodynamic performances of axial compressors are significantly affected by variation of Reynolds number in aero-engines.In the design and analysis of compressors,previous correction methods for cascades and stages have difficulties in predicting comprehensively Reynolds number effects on airfoils,matching and characteristics curves.This study proposes Re-correction models for loss,deviation angle and endwall blockage based on classical theories and cascade tests,and loss and deviation models show good agreement in test data of NACA65 and C4 cascades.Throughflow method considering Reynolds number effects is developed by integrating the correction models into a verified Streamline Curvature(SLC)tool.A three-stage axial compressor is investigated through SLC and CFD methods from design Reynolds number(Red=2106)to low Re=4104,and the numerical methods are validated with test data of characteristic curves and spanwise distributions at Red.With Re reduction,SLC method with correction models well predicts variation in overall performances compared with CFD calculations and Wassell's model.Streamwise and spanwise matching such as total pressure and loss distributions in SLC predictions are basically consistent with those in CFD results at near-stall points under design and low Reynolds numbers.SLC and CFD methods share similar detections of stall risks in the third stage(Stg3),and their analyses of diffusion processes deviate to some extent due to different predictions in separated endwall flow.The correction models can be adopted to consider Reynolds number effects in through-flow design and analysis of axial compressors.
文摘When a porous rock is subjected to overall compressive loading,either increasing pore pressure or decreasing confining pressure could result in rock failure.The stress path and the applied pressure change rate may affect the initiation and propagation of fractures within brittle materials.Understanding the physical mechanisms leading to failure is crucial for underground engineering applications and geo-energy exploration and storage.We conducted triaxial compression experiments on porous Bentheim sandstone samples at different stress paths and pressure change rates.First,at a constant confining pressure of 35 MPa and pore pressure of 5 MPa,intact cylindrical samples were axially loaded up to about 85%of the peak strength.Subsequently,the axial piston position was fixed,and then either the pore pressure was increased or the confining pressure was decreased at two different rates(0.5 MPa/min or 2 MPa/min),leading to final catastrophic failure.The mechanical results revealed that samples subjected to higher rates of decreasing effective confining pressure exhibited larger stress drop rates,higher slip rates,higher total breakdown work,higher rates of acoustic emissions(AEs)before failure,and higher post-failure AE decay rates.In contrast,the applied stress path did not significantly affect rock failure characteristics.Comparison of located AE events with post-mortem microstructures of deformed samples shows a good agreement.The AE source type determined from the P-wave first-motion polarity shows that shear failure dominated the fracture process when approaching failure.Gutenberg-Richter b-values revealed a significant decrease before failure in all tests.Our results indicate that,in contrast to the stress path,the rate of effective stress change strongly affects fracturing behavior and AE rate changes.

文摘This study synthesized a high-strength Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(20)Ta_(20)Al_(3)(at.%)refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA)via vacuum induction melting.The mechanical behavior of the Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al_(3)RHEA was systematically investigated through a universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar system at strain rates up to 5100 s^(−1),and the temperature change is from 193 K to 673 K.By integrating theoretical derivation and microstructural characterization,we examined the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of the Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al_(3)RHEA under the synergistic effects of temperature and strain rate.The results demonstrate that the Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(2 n)Ta_(2 n)Al_(3)RHEA exhibits a significant positive strain rate effect.The dominant deformation mechanism changes with increasing strain rate:cross-slip→localized shear→adiabatic shear.When the strain rate reaches 5100 s^(−1),the yield strength increases from 1151 MPa to 2112 MPa,and an adiabatic shear band forms.Simultaneously,the microstructure undergoes severe localized deformation,dominated by shear bands,and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)is activated to counteract the deformation.At 193 K,the yield strength is 2241 MPa.Kink bands have appeared,enhancing the ductility of RHEA:the yield strength and the temperature sensitivity coefficient decrease with increasing temperature.However,as the temperature increases,atomic mobility is enhanced,which promotes grain boundary sliding and migration,activating DRX,and effectively mitigating shear localization.This study deepens our understanding of the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of the Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(20)Ta_(20)Al_(3)RHEA.It reveals the microstructure evolution process of the alloy under different strain rates,the synergistic effect of strain rate and temperature,and the influence of strain rate and temperature on the deformation mechanisms of the material.This research lays a theoretical foundation for applying the Zr_(42)Ti_(15)Nb_(20)Ta_(20)Al_(3)RHEA in extreme environments.

文摘Significant progress has been recently made in studying artemisinin and its derivatives for treating cardiovascular diseases,making this area a prominent research focus.Artemisinin,discovered with great acclaim,was initially and widely adopted in antimalarial treatments.As scientific research steadily progressed,its latent potential role in the cardiovascular system gradually captured the attention of the global scientific community.Artemisinin and its derivatives can reportedly play a protective role in the cardiovascular system through various mechanisms,including anti-inflammatory,anti-angiogenic,antioxidant,and anti-fibrotic effects,as well as the regulation of blood lipids and blood pressure.In particular,they have shown promising therapeutic effects in models of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis,myocardial ischaemia,and cardiac hypertrophy.In addition,artemisinin and its derivatives can improve cardiovascular function and prevent cardiovascular injury by regulating signalling pathways closely related to cardiovascular disease,such as AMPK and NF-kB.Although numerous ex vivo and in vivo experiments have verified the potential role of artemisinin in treating cardiovascular diseases,systematic studies to comprehensively elucidate its specific mechanism of action remain scarce.Further exploration of the precise roles of artemisinin and its derivatives in cardiovascular disease therapy,along with their potential clinical applications,could offer valuable insights for future research and treatment strategies.

文摘Ensuring national food security amidst rapid population growth and increasing extreme weather events remains a critical global challenge.However,the extent to which agricultural modernization in China enhances grain yield and contributes to food security remains unclear.Therefore,using panel data from 327 Chinese cities(2013–2021),this study employs spatial econometric models to analyze the spatial spillover effects of agricultural modernization level(AML)on grain yield and to reveal regional heterogeneity across nine major agricultural zones.The results showed a cumulative grain yield increase of 23.7 million tons,with peak productivity concentrated along the Hu Line and declining eastward and westward.AML also exhibited a steady increase but a clear spatial gradient,decreasing from coastal to inland regions,with the highest level observed in Southern China(SC).A key finding was that a 1%increase in AML directly raised local grain yield by an average of 4.185%,accompanied by significant positive spillover effects on neighboring regions.Regional variations revealed distinct patterns:the direct effects of AML were more pronounced in southern and eastern zones,while spillover effects dominated in northern and western zones.The largest positive direct impact of AML on grain yield was observed in the SC(8.499%),while Middle-Lower Yangtze Plain ranked second but exhibited the strongest positive spatial spillover effect(4.534%).These findings highlight the critical role of agricultural modernization in promoting grain production and provide a solid basis for optimizing regional agricultural systems,ensuring food security,and advancing sustainable agriculture.

文摘Improved delay detached eddy simulation is performed to explore the flow features and aero-optical effects of turrets with different bottom cylinder height at a freestream Mach number Ma=0.7.Analysis of both the time-averaged and instantaneous flow features demonstrate that the shock motion causes the oscillation of separated shear layer.In flow analysis,two unsteady shock-wake-correlated modes are discerned:the asymmetric shifting mode and the symmetric breathing mode.With the increase of cylinder height,the relative energy of shock gradually increases,which goes from 26%to 59%.The proper orthogonal decomposition analysis yields the single frequency peak for the two dominant modes.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are generally at StD<0.23,while the frequency peaks of breathing mode are generally at StD>0.26.The dynamic mode decomposition analysis gives range of frequency peak.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are in the range of StD=0.11-0.23,and the frequency peaks of breathing mode are in range of StD=0.26-0.41.Optical distortion analysis indicates that the distortion calculated in five cases is linked to the breathing mode.When the beam passes through the turbulent wake,it exhibits the high-frequency and high-amplitude characteristics.

文摘Integration of natural gas and electricity transmission systems has strengthened interdependence between the two systems.Due to the close interconnection through coupling elements between the power system(PS)and natural gas system(NGS)when a disturbance happens in one system,a series of complicated sequences of dependent events may follow in another system.Therefore,an integrated planning model jointing security-constrained considering cascading effects is proposed in this paper.Meanwhile,natural gas and electricity transmission systems considering stochastic failures and various operating characteristics of components can be viewed as a multistate systems.Moreover,power-to-gas(P2G),as a promising technology proposed to store surplus renewable energy,is considered in the integrated planning.First,multi-state models for different components are developed to describe realistic operating conditions in natural gas and electricity transmission systems.Furthermore,a mixed-integer linear programming(MILP)approach considers N-1 contingency and cascading effects between natural gas and the electrical power systems.Therefore,a security-constrained integrated planning model of natural gas and electricity transmission systems is represented.The proposed methods are validated using an integrated gas and power test system.

文摘To reveal the influence of coupled effects of dry-wet cycling and precompression stress(CEDWCPS)on the damage evolution of limestone with horizontal fissure(LHF),a series of degradation and uniaxial compression tests were conducted,and a corresponding piecewise damage constitutive model(PDCM)was established.We found that both dry-wet cycling and precompression stress deteriorate the physical properties,alter the microscopic characteristics,and reduce the mechanical properties of the LHF.These degradations are particularly pronounced under the CEDWCPS,although the magnitude of these changes gradually diminishes with the progression of dry-wet cycling.Meanwhile,they also reduce the deformation degree,prolong the micropore compaction stage,shorten the unstable crack propagation stage,lower the frequency and intensity of AE events,decrease the high-amplitude and high-frequency AE signals,enlarge crack scales,and shorten the crack initiation time.Among the changes of these indicators,the dry-wet cycling plays a dominant role.The crack types of LHF under the CEDWCPS(LHFCEDWCPS)are predominantly tensile cracks,supplemented by shear cracks.The failure mode can be defined as tensileshear composite failure.Finally,the established PDCM effectively captures the nonlinear deformation of micropore and the linear deformation of the matrix in LHFCEDWCPS,with all corresponding R^(2) consistently exceeding 0.97.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of shoulder dystocia midwifery techniques combined with predictive nursing on shoulder dystocia. Methods: A total of 82 high-risk pregnant women with shoulder dystocia admitted for childbirth from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected and equally divided using a random number table. The experimental group received shoulder dystocia midwifery techniques combined with predictive nursing, while the reference group received routine midwifery care. Indicators such as the preventive effect on shoulder dystocia were compared between the two groups. Results: The incidence of shoulder dystocia in the experimental group was lower than that in the reference group, the duration of labor was shorter, the amount of intra-partum bleeding was less, the incidence of adverse delivery outcomes was lower, and the score for fear of childbirth after intervention was lower than that in the reference group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Implementing shoulder dystocia midwifery techniques combined with predictive nursing for high-risk pregnant women with shoulder dystocia can prevent shoulder dystocia and other adverse delivery outcomes, shorten the duration of labor, reduce intra-partum bleeding, and alleviate pregnant women’s fear of childbirth, demonstrating high nursing value.
