However, in this work, we compared the orientation of the fracture plane obtained experimentally through tests on specimens under multiaxial loading with that calculated by the variance method. In the statistical approach criteria, several methods have been developed but we have presented only one method, namely the variance method using the equivalent stress. She assumes that the fracture plane orientation is the one on which the variance of the equivalent stress is maximum. Three types of equivalent stress are defined for this method [1]: normal stress, shear stress and combined normal and shear stress. The results obtained were compared with experimental results for multiaxial cyclic stress states, and it emerges that the variance method for the case of combined loading is conservative as it gives a better prediction of the fracture plane.展开更多

These calls facilitate communication among adults and alert nestlings to potential danger. While heterospecific call recognition has been extensively studied in adult birds, nestlings—lacking direct predation experience and heterospecific alarm exposure—represent an ideal system to investigate the response to interspecific warning cues. This study explored the recognition capabilities of 5–6-day-old nestlings in Oriental Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus orientalis), a common host of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). We exposed the nestlings to playbacks of alarm calls directed at parasites and raptors from conspecific, Vinous-throated Parrotbill (Sinosuthora webbiana, sympatric species), Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus, allopatric species) and Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius, allopatric species) adults. Results indicated that there was no significant difference in the responses of nestlings to the alarm calls of conspecific and allopatric adults directed at cuckoos and sparrowhawks. In addition, interestingly, nestlings significantly reduced their begging in response to conspecific and unfamiliar allopatric Isabelline Shrike and Common Tailorbird alarm calls but exhibited a weak response to the sympatric Vinous-throated Parrotbill. Whether older warbler nestlings with more social experience exhibit stronger responses to the alarm calls of Vinous-throated Parrotbill adults requires further investigation.展开更多

文摘Avian alarm calls mediate defenses against brood parasites and predators. These calls facilitate communication among adults and alert nestlings to potential danger. While heterospecific call recognition has been extensively studied in adult birds, nestlings—lacking direct predation experience and heterospecific alarm exposure—represent an ideal system to investigate the response to interspecific warning cues. This study explored the recognition capabilities of 5–6-day-old nestlings in Oriental Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus orientalis), a common host of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). We exposed the nestlings to playbacks of alarm calls directed at parasites and raptors from conspecific, Vinous-throated Parrotbill (Sinosuthora webbiana, sympatric species), Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus, allopatric species) and Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius, allopatric species) adults. Results indicated that there was no significant difference in the responses of nestlings to the alarm calls of conspecific and allopatric adults directed at cuckoos and sparrowhawks. In addition, interestingly, nestlings significantly reduced their begging in response to conspecific and unfamiliar allopatric Isabelline Shrike and Common Tailorbird alarm calls but exhibited a weak response to the sympatric Vinous-throated Parrotbill. Whether older warbler nestlings with more social experience exhibit stronger responses to the alarm calls of Vinous-throated Parrotbill adults requires further investigation.

文摘Secondary dendrite orientation and wall thickness considerably affect the stress rupture life of thin-walled samples.However,the effect of the secondary dendrite orientation on the thickness debit effect of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys has not been thoroughly investigated until now.Owing to geometrical constraints,typical sheet samples cannot reveal the mechanism responsible for the thickness debit effect in turbine blades.This study examined the effect of secondary dendrite orientation on the thickness debit effect of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys at 1100℃/137 MPa in tubular samples.As the wall thickness decreased from 1.5 mm to 0.3 mm,the stress rupture life decreased from approximately 170 h to 64 h,demonstrating a noticeable thickness debit effect.Among the different secondary dendrite orientation areas,the variation in plastic deformation difference increased from 7%(1.5 mm)to 45%(0.5 mm)and subsequently decreased to 4%(0.3 mm).In thinner samples,the thickness contraction and microstructure evolution were more pronounced in the[100]areas than that in the[110]and[210]areas.The theoretical calculation quantitatively indicated that for the effective stress increased,the contribution of plastic deformation(45%)was slightly lower than that of oxidation(55%)in 0.3 mm samples;nevertheless,plastic deformation played a prominent role in 0.5,0.8,1,and 1.5 mm samples and increased from 61%(0.5 mm samples)to 85%(1.5 mm samples).In thinner samples,the larger plastic deformation in the secondary dendrite orientation of the[100]areas and oxidation increased the effective stress,resulting in a shorter rupture life.These findings are conducive to the structural optimization and performance improvement of turbine blades.

文摘Plant species diversity is one of the most widely used indicators in ecosystem management.The relation of species diversity with the size of the sample plot has not been fully determined for Oriental beech forests(Fagus orientalis Lipsky),a widespread species in the Hyrcanian region.Assessing the impacts of plot size on species diversity is fundamental for an ecosystem-based approach to forest management.This study determined the relation of species diversity and plot size by investigating species richness and abundance of both canopy and forest floor.Two hundred and fifty-six sample plots of 625 m^(2) each were layout in a grid pattern across 16 ha.Base plots(25 m×25 m)were integrated in different scales to investigate the effect of plot size on species diversity.The total included nine plots of 0.063,0.125,0.188,0.250,0.375,0.500,0.563,0.750 and 1 ha.Ten biodiversity indices were calculated.The results show that species richness in the different plot sizes was less than the actual value.The estimated value of the Simpson species diversity index was not significantly different from actual values for both canopy and forest floor diversity.The coefficient of variation of this index for the 1-ha sample plot showed the lowest amount across different plot sizes.Inverse Hill species diversity was insignificant difference across different plot sizes with an area greater than 0.500 ha.The modified Hill evenness index for the 1-ha sample size was a correct estimation of the 16-ha for both canopy and forest floor;however,the precision estimation was higher for the canopy layer.All plots greater than 0.250-ha provided an accurate estimation of the Camargo evenness index for forest floor species,but was inaccurate across different plot sizes for the canopy layer.The results indicate that the same plot size did not have the same effect across species diversity measurements.Our results show that correct estimation of species diversity measurements is related to the selection of appropriate indicators and plot size to increase the accuracy of the estimate so that the cost and time of biodiversity management may be reduced.

文摘A novel Additive Manufacturing(AM)-driven concurrent design strategy based on the beam characterization model considering strength constraints is proposed.The lattice topology,radius size,Building Orientation(BO),and structural yield strength can be simultaneously adjusted by integrating the overall process-structure-performance relationship of the AM process into the optimization.Specifically,the transverse isotropic material model is adopted to describe the material properties induced by the layer-by-layer manner of additive manufacturing.To bolster lattice strength performance,the stress constraints and ratio constraints of lattice struts are employed.The Tsai-Wu yield criterion is implemented to characterize the lattice strut's strength,while the P-norm method streamlines the handling of multiple constraints,minimizing computational overhead.Moreover,the gradient-based optimization model is established,where both the individual struts diameters and BO can be designed,and the buckling-prone spatial struts are strategically eliminated to improve the lattice strength further.Furthermore,several typical structures are optimized to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.The optimized results are quite encouraging since the heterogeneous lattice structures with optimized BO obtained by the strength-based concurrent method show a remarkably improved performance compared to traditional designs.

文摘In the wave of internet culture,short videos have become an indispensable medium for social communication.The metaphorical hot words contained within them serve as a unique linguistic phenomenon that leads topics and focuses attention,greatly enriching the expressive layers and rhetorical charm of short videos,and significantly enhancing the video’s theme orientation and emotional identification.This research aims to explore the relationship between the use of metaphorical Internet buzzwords in short videos and the thematic and emotional orientation.The study adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods,taking 10 videos with over 10,000 likes posted by a well-known blogger on Xiaohongshu in 2024 as the research object,transcribing the text,forming research corpora,and conducting multi-dimensional cognitive analysis on them.The study shows that about half of short videos contain metaphorical hot words.Different types of metaphorical hot words can trigger different emotional reactions from fans,especially humorous metaphorical hot words that can stimulate fans’emotional identification and resonance.In addition,in terms of fan participation,videos using metaphorical hot words tend to attract more fan attention than those that do not:these videos not only attract more fans to watch and like,but also trigger more comments and sharing behaviors.In summary,short videos cleverly use metaphors to create internet hot words,significantly enhancing the video’s thematic guidance and emotional resonance,manifested in creating popular topics,clarifying guiding themes,enhancing content attractiveness,and stimulating strong emotional identification,thereby promoting interactive behaviors such as likes and shares.These findings provide a reference for research in related fields such as metaphor,communication studies,and sociology.

文摘Extracting ethanol from aqueous solutions is important but challenging in industry.Pervaporation membranes show great promise for separating ethanol from water,with the design of their structure being crucial for enhancing performance.In this study,we developed an oriented bimetallic metal-organic framework(MOF)membrane,designated as ZIF-CoZn,for the pervaporation separation of ethanol from water.During crystal growth,bimetallic salts provide specific nucleation sites,and the competitive coordination between Co and Zn ions shifts the energetically favorable(100)plane to the(211)plane.This orientation enables precise molecular-level control over hydrophobic ligand arrangement,effectively repelling water molecules.Meanwhile,bimetallic competition enlarges pore sizes,facilitating ethanol permeation.When compared to single-metal MOF membranes made of cobalt or zinc,the separation factor of the ZIF-CoZn membrane for ethanol/water mixtures increased by 127%and 160%,respectively.Benefiting from the high roughness and increased exposure of hydrophobic ligands due to the preferential(211)orientation,ZIF-CoZn exhibits superhydrophobicity after vinyl-polydimethylsiloxane coating.The oriented ZIF-CoZn membrane was also scaled up to an area of 1 m^(2).This work provides valuable insights into optimizing MOF membrane structure and lays the foundation for its promotion and application in the industry.

文摘The orientations of ancient tombs have attracted increasing scholarly attention,as they offer valuable insights into early social structures,cultural traditions,and the relationship between humans and their environment.However,the application of machine learning algorithms to the study of tomb orientation remains relatively underexplored.In this study,we employed a Gaussian mixture model to conduct a systematic analysis of the spatial and temporal evolution of Neolithic tomb orientations in Central China.We also examined the relationship between tomb orientation and both environmental factors and sociocultural dynamics.The findings suggest a deliberate and methodical approach to the planning and alignment of tombs during the Neolithic Age.Tomb orientations in each chronological phase displayed clear clustering patterns,reflecting a developmental trajectory from uniformity to diversity,and ultimately toward integration.While early angular measurement techniques appear to have emerged,they do not show evidence of sustained technical progression.Instead,different periods seem to have achieved similar levels of directional accuracy.The predominance of westward-facing tombs may be closely tied to both topographic features and the symbolic association with sunset.At the same time,cultural evolution and interregional exchange played essential roles in shaping the distinctive patterns of prehistoric tomb orientation.This research contributes not only to the understanding of ancient funerary practices but also demonstrates the potential of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies in advancing archaeological analysis.

文摘The performance of organic solar cells is significantly influenced by the acceptor molecular packing properties within the active layers,which is essential for optimizing charge dynamics and photovoltaic performance.However,achieving precise control over this packaging structure presents a considerable challenge.Herein,we propose a dual additive strategy utilizing dibenzofuran and halogenated naphthalene to systematically manipulate molecular packing orientation and enhance the long-range molecular packing order of the acceptors.Dibenzofuran is crucial in promoting crystallinity within the material,facilitating the formation of an ordered structure,while halogenated naphthalene regulates the orientation of the molecules,ensuring proper alignment.Specifically,the combination of dibenzofuran and 1-chloronaphthalene promotes edge-on molecular packing and enhances the formation of nanofibrillar structures with improved order,leading to improved charge transport and device performance.Implementing this strategy in devices composed of PM6 and L8-BO has yielded a power conversion efficiency of 19.58%,accompanied by long-term stability.Similarly,1-fluoronaphthalene has also demonstrated effectiveness in improving molecular orientation and overall device efficiency,demonstrating the robustness of this dual additive strategy.By addressing the challenges associated with molecular packing and orientation in active layers,our result contributes valuable insights into optimizing organic solar cells for practical applications.

文摘Bismuth oxybromide(BiOBr)is being actively researched as a promising anode material for aqueous batteries due to its unique layered structure,which theoretically allows for efficient ion diffusion.However,current studies have come across many challenges,e.g.serious capacity degradation and inferior rate capability caused by severe structural collapse and sluggish reaction kinetics,highlighting the need for further improvement in efficient utilization of the layered space.Herein,this study employs a novel crystal orientation regulation to enhance the performance of BiOBr electrode by a facile solvothermal method to efficiently utilize the interlayered structu re.The delicate design of BiOBr(BOB)succeeds in maximizing the exposed(110)crystalline plane,providing efficient pathways for ion diffusion and streamlining the mass migration process.Moreover,the optimized band structure and the formation of oxygen vacancies in this designed material have been found,enabling high electrical conductivity,accelerating the charge transfer process and facilitating rapid reaction rate.Owing to the simultaneously enhanced mass transfer at the interlayers and the charge transfer during the phase conversion process,the BOB-110 electrode exhibits exceptional electrochemical performances,boasting impressive charge storage and rate capability(159 mAh g^(-1)at 4 A g^(-1)),and outstanding cycling stability of capacity retention around 75%(119 mAh g^(-1))even after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 4 A g^(-1).These findings underscore the substantial potential of BiOBr electrodes for future energy storage devices such as wearable electronics and power grids where the power output,lifespan,and affordability are simultaneously required.
文摘Carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP)composites,as a typical difficult-to-machine material,exhibit high cutting forces and temperatures during actual machining,leading to more severe tool wear compared to traditional metal ma-terials.The shear fracture during fiber cutting is incomplete,resulting in surface defects such as unclosed fibers and burrs.To analyze the cutting forces and tool wear areas when cutting CFRP with different fiber angles,a three-dimensional or-thogonal cutting model of CFRP was established using finite element software and the VUMAT subroutine,based on the three-dimensional Hashin criterion.Simulation results show that during the cutting process of CFRP,high-stress areas appear in the region where the cutting edge contacts the workpiece for each fiber orientation,primarily concentrated in the first deformation zone in contact with the cutting edge.The Mises stress is highest when cutting the 90°fibers and lowest when cutting the 0°fibers.When cutting the 0°and 135°fibers,the tool is prone to wear on both the rake and flank faces,while when cutting the 45°and 90°fibers,the tool's rake face is more likely to experience wear.
