The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

文摘AIM:To define the prevalence and anatomical patterns of paranasal sinus abnormalities(PSA)in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO)and to test the hypothesis that TAO is partially driven by contiguous orbital inflammation rather than systemic autoimmunity or generalized orbital pressure.METHODS:Data included ophthalmic assessments and a panel of thyroid function and autoimmune biomarkers.Blinded radiological analysis of orbital computed tomography(CT)scans was performed to quantify sinus abnormalities and extraocular muscles(EOMs)involvement.Patients were categorized into two groups based on CT findings,those with no radiological evidence of sinus abnormalities(non-PSA control group)and those with identifiable PSA.Furthermore,ethmoid sinus mucosal biopsies from a subset of TAO patients and noninflammatory controls were subjected to histopathological analysis.RESULTS:Totally 121 TAO patients(mean age 42.4±12.8y,range 10-78y),male:female=42:79,were included.PSA was identified in 44.6%(n=54)of patients,with a distribution anatomically restricted to the maxillary(50.0%isolated)and ethmoid sinuses(18.5%isolated;29.6%combined).Compared to the non-PSA group(n=67),patients with PSA were significantly older(45.1±11.8 vs 40.3±13.2y;P=0.040)and were more likely to be male(55.6%vs 17.9%;P<0.001).They also had significantly higher proptosis(22.1±3.2 vs 20.7±2.9 mm;P<0.001).Medial/inferior rectus involvement was most frequent(88.4%vs 89.3%).Histopathological analysis of sinus mucosa from PSA patients provided direct evidence of pathology,revealing a dense,chronic lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and submucosal edema,validating the radiological findings as a true inflammatory process.No significant correlation was found with systemic autoimmune markers,including thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)receptor antibodies(TRAb,median 4.86 vs 2.71 IU/L,P=0.104).CONCLUSION:TAO is associated with a high prevalence of PSA in a pattern consistent with the orbital anatomy.The correlation with ipsilateral muscle thickening combined with the lack of association with proptosis laterality or systemic biomarkers lend strong support to a model of contiguous inflammation over systemic autoimmunity,a hypothesis that warrants further validation through longitudinal and mechanistic studies.

文摘Hard carbon is a vital anode material for sodium-ion batteries;however,the nonuniform growth of solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)film substantially diminishes its initial coulombic efficiency(ICE)and cycle life.The chemical and morphological properties of surface highly influence the electrode/electrolyte interfacial reactions.In this study,we have tuned orbital hybridization states forming an interface enriched with sp^(2) hybridized carbon(sp^(2)-C),which decreases the binding energy to solvent molecules and inhibits excessive solvent decomposition during SEI formation.Benefiting from successfully constructed inorganic-rich SEI,the ICE increased to 91%and sodium storage capacity reached 346 mAh/g.Besides,the capacity retention rate was 90.7%after 700 cycles at 1 A/g higher than pristine electrode(83.8%).

文摘The complex chaotic behavior of a quasi-zero-stiffness(QZS)double-winged system with symmetric impact boundaries is investigated with Melnikov functions and numerical simulations.The analysis reveals the coexistence of multiple attractors.As a key mass parameter varies,the mechanism underlying degenerate singular closed orbits is elucidated,based upon which five distinct types of singular closed orbits are discovered,exhibiting both smooth and discontinuous(SD)characteristics.The chaotic threshold of each singular orbit is obtained by Melnikov functions and verified by numerical simulations.The numerical results further demonstrate the coexistence of SD motions.For zero damping systems,the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser(KAM)structures are exhibited to present the complex quasi-periodic and resonant behavior coexisting with chaotic and periodic motions.These findings advance the understanding of chaotic dynamics in nonsmooth multi-well impact systems.

文摘The effect of plasma and charged particle interaction with spacecraft in a low Earth orbit(LEO)environment leads to ion focusing and the formation of an ion void in the downstream region as a result of charging.Simulations and investigations using a fixed potential imposed on the spacecraft showed the nonsignificance of geophysical parameter changes to ion focusing.Variation of the temperature ratio(T_(r))contributed only to local ion focusing and manifested as two-ion streamers dispersed at the upper and lower edges of the spacecraft-the outermost layers of the satellite structure at the top and bottom,respectively.A simulation involving changing the ambient plasma density(N_(p))also showed the formation of local ion focusing,in which ions were more concentrated as the density increased.Furthermore,auroral electron density(N_(ae))variation had no clear impact on ion focusing,as indicated by static two-ion structures in the wake field.However,variation of the object potential(ϕ)strongly affected ion focusing formation,leading to distortion of the initial ion void region behind the spacecraft.The formation of ion focusing in this study was subject to the electric field produced by the object potential and the ambipolar electric field resulting from plasma expansion in the downstream region.

文摘Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in the kagome metal CsCr_(3)Sb_(5) under pressure,we theoretically investigate the superconducting pairing symmetry and the impact of spin–orbit coupling(SOC)in this system.By employing an effective four-orbital tight-binding model and solving the linearized gap equation within the random phase approximation,we find that the large inter-orbital spin fluctuations enhanced by Hund’s coupling promote a superconducting gap function with E_(2g)symmetry.The inclusion of SOC further stabilizes this gap symmetry.Our analysis also reveals that the d_(x^(2)-y^(2))orbital plays the dominant role in forming the superconducting pairs.

文摘Developing high-performance Ni cathodes and understanding the relationship between electron states of Ni 3d orbital and energy storage mechanism from an atomic-orbital perspective are crucial yet challenging for alkaline nickel-zinc batteries.Herein,we innovatively design P-NiMoO_(4)/NiSe_(2)heterostructures with rich oxygen vacancy via a selective component segregation.The P substitution in NiMoO_(4)activate Ni atoms,leading to the spin-state transition of Ni-3d orbitals from high-spin to low-spin,which promote the uniform and rapid nucleation of NiSe_(2)on the surface of NiMoO_(4)during subsequent selenization process.After selenization,the in situ formed P-NiMoO_(4)/NiSe_(2)heterostructures exhibits continuous increased unoccupied states of Ni 3d-orbitals and higher Ni valence state.The synergistic effect of P doping and selenization modulate the d-band center(ɛd)level of Ni 3d,thereby promoting d-p orbital hybridization between Ni 3d and O 2p of OH−as well as OH−adsorption ability.Consequently,the P-NiMoO_(4)/NiSe_(2)exhibits a top-level specific capacity of 390.7 mA h g^(−1)at 1 A g^(−1),2.8-fold higher than that of pristine NiMoO_(4),accompanied by remarkable rate capability and structural stability.Moreover,the assembled pouch-type battery and flexible devices demonstrate the practical application potential.This work provides fundamental insights into orbital-level engineering of battery materials for enhanced redox kinetics and cycling stability.

文摘With the increasing number of geosynchronous orbit satellites with expiring lifetime,spacecraft refueling is crucial in enhancing the economic benefits of on-orbit services.The existing studies tend to be based on predetermined refueling duration;however,the precise mission scheduling solution will be difficult to apply due to uncertain refueling duration caused by orbital transfer deviations and stochastic actuator faults during actual on-orbit service.Therefore,this paper proposes a robust mission scheduling strategy for geosynchronous orbit spacecraft on-orbit refueling missions with uncertain refueling duration.Firstly,a robust mission scheduling model is constructed by introducing the budget uncertainty set to describe the uncertain refueling duration.Secondly,a hybrid harris hawks optimization algorithm is designed to explore the optimal mission allocation and refueling sequences,which combines cubic chaotic mapping to initialize the population,and the crossover in the genetic algorithm is introduced to enhance global convergence.Finally,the typical simulation examples are constructed with real-mission scenarios in three aspects to analyze:performance comparisons with various algorithms;robustness analyses via comparisons of different on-orbit refueling durations;investigations into the impacts of different initial population strategies on algorithm performance,demonstrating the proposed mission scheduling framework's robustness and effectiveness by comparing it with the exact mission scheduling.
文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.
文摘Given the scarcity of Satellite Frequency and Orbit(SFO)resources,it holds paramount importance to establish a comprehensive knowledge graph of SFO field(SFO-KG)and employ knowledge reasoning technology to automatically mine available SFO resources.An essential aspect of constructing SFO-KG is the extraction of Chinese entity relations.Unfortunately,there is currently no publicly available Chinese SFO entity Relation Extraction(RE)dataset.Moreover,publicly available SFO text data contain numerous NA(representing for“No Answer”)relation category sentences that resemble other relation sentences and pose challenges in accurate classification,resulting in low recall and precision for the NA relation category in entity RE.Consequently,this issue adversely affects both the accuracy of constructing the knowledge graph and the efficiency of RE processes.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a method for extracting Chinese SFO text entity relations based on dynamic integrated learning.This method includes the construction of a manually annotated Chinese SFO entity RE dataset and a classifier combining features of SFO resource data.The proposed approach combines integrated learning and pre-training models,specifically utilizing Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers(BERT).In addition,it incorporates one-class classification,attention mechanisms,and dynamic feedback mechanisms to improve the performance of the RE model.Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional methods in terms of F1 value when extracting entity relations from both balanced and long-tailed datasets.

文摘This paper proposes a novel impulsive thrust strategy guided by optimal continuous thrust strategy to address two-player orbital pursuit-evasion game under impulsive thrust control.The strategy seeks to enhance the interpretability of impulsive thrust strategy by integrating it within the framework of differential game in traditional continuous systems.First,this paper introduces an impulse-like constraint,with periodical changes in thrust amplitude,to characterize the impulsive thrust control.Then,the game with the impulse-like constraint is converted into the two-point boundary value problem,which is solved by the combined shooting and deep learning method proposed in this paper.Deep learning and numerical optimization are employed to obtain the guesses for unknown terminal adjoint variables and the game terminal time.Subsequently,the accurate values are solved by the shooting method to yield the optimal continuous thrust strategy with the impulse-like constraint.Finally,the shooting method is iteratively employed at each impulse decision moment to derive the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy.Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence of the combined shooting and deep learning method,even if the strongly nonlinear impulse-like constraint is introduced.The effect of the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy is also discussed.

文摘In this paper,we investigate analytical numerical iterative strategies for the pursuit-evasion game involving spacecraft with leader–follower information.In the proposed problem,the interplay between two spacecraft gives rise to a dynamic and real-time game,complicated further by the presence of perturbation.The primary challenge lies in crafting control strategies that are both efficient and applicable to real-time game problems within a nonlinear system.To overcome this challenge,we introduce the model prediction and iterative correction technique proposed in model predictive static programming,enabling the generation of strategies in analytical iterative form for nonlinear systems.Subsequently,we proceed by integrating this model predictive framework into a simplified Stackelberg equilibrium formulation,tailored to address the practical complexities of leader–follower pursuit-evasion scenarios.Simulation results validate the effectiveness and exceptional efficiency of the proposed solution within a receding horizon framework.

文摘Unraveling the essence of electronic structure effected by d-d orbital coupling of transition metal and methanol oxidation reaction(MOR)performance can fundamentally guide high efficient catalyst design.Herein,density functional theory(DFT)calculations were performed at first to study the d–d orbital interaction of metallic Pt Pd Cu,revealing that the incorporation of Pd and Cu atoms into Pt system can enhance d-d electron interaction via capturing antibonding orbital electrons of Pt to fill the surrounding Pd and Cu atoms.Under the theoretical guidance,Pt Pd Cu medium entropy alloy aerogels(Pt Pd Cu MEAAs)catalysts have been designed and systematically screened for MOR under acid,alkaline and neutral electrolyte.Furthermore,DFT calculation and in-situ fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicate that Pt Pd Cu MEAAs follow the direct pathway via formate as the reactive intermediate to be directly oxidized to CO_(2).For practical direct methanol fuel cells(DMFCs),the Pt Pd Cu MEAAs-integrated ultra-thin catalyst layer(4–5μm thickness)as anode exhibits higher peak power density of 35 m W/cm^(2) than commercial Pt/C of 20 m W/cm^(2)(~40μm thickness)under the similar noble metal loading and an impressive stability retention at a 50-m A/cm^(2) constant current for 10 h.This work clearly proves that optimizing the intermediate adsorption capacity via d-d orbital coupling is an effective strategy to design highly efficient catalysts for DMFCs.
