Therefore, accurately predicting ...Economic losses and catastrophic casualties may occur once super high-rise structures are struck by low-probability but high-consequence scenarios of concurrent earthquakes and winds. Therefore, accurately predicting multi-hazard dynamic responses to super high-rise structures has significant engineering and scientific value. This study performed a parametric global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for multi-hazard dynamic response prediction of super high-rise structures using the multiple-degree-of-freedom shear (MFS) model. Polynomial chaos Kriging (PCK) was introduced to build a surrogate model that allowed GSA to be combined with Sobol’ indices. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is also conducted for the comparison to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the PCK method. Parametric sensitivity analysis is performed for a wide range of aleatory uncertainty (intensities of coupled multi-hazard), epistemic uncertainty (bending stiffness, k_(m);shear stiffness, kq;density, ρ;and damping ratio, ξ), probability distribution types, and coefficients of variation. The results indicate that epistemic uncertainty parameters, k_(m), ρ, and ξ dramatically affect the multi-hazard dynamic responses of super high-rise structures;in addition, Sobol’ indices between the normal and lognormal distributions are insignificant, while the variation levels have remarkably influenced the sensitivity indices.展开更多

First, a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) system is used as an example to propose a stiffness gradient-based evaluation method, taking the effective control bandwidth ratio as a metric of effectiveness. The results show that there is an optimal mass ratio in both variable mass and variable stiffness cases. Then, a typical 16-DOF system is used to investigate the frequency domain characteristics of the stiffness gradient values in the complex system. The distributions of stiffness gradient values show multiple peak intervals corresponding to the sensitive regions for vibration control. By assigning random mass parameters, a significant exponential decay relationship between the subsystem’s mass and effective control is identified, emphasizing the importance of the optimal mass ratio. The finite-element simulation results of solid plate models with springs and oscillators further validate the theoretical results. In short, the gradient value of stiffness effectively quantifies the effects of subsystems on vibration control, providing an analytical tool for active control in complex systems. The identified exponential decay relationship offers meaningful guidance for implementation strategies.展开更多

Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.展开更多

文摘Saline aquifers are considered as highly favored reservoirs for CO_(2)sequestration due to their favorable properties.Understanding the impact of saline aquifer properties on the migration and distribution of CO_(2)plume is crucial.This study focuses on four key parameters-permeability,porosity,formation pressure,and temperature-to characterize the reservoir and analyse the petrophysical and elastic response of CO_(2).First,we performed reservoir simulations to simulate CO_(2)saturation,using multiple sets of these four parameters to examine their significance on CO_(2)saturation and the plume migration speed.Subsequently,the effect of these parameters on the elastic properties is tested using rock physics theory.We established a relationship of compressional wave velocity(V_(p))and quality factor(Q_(p))with the four key parameters,and conducted a sensitivity analysis to test their sensitivity to V_(p) and Q_(p).Finally,we utilized visco-acoustic wave equation simulated time-lapse seismic data based on the computed V_(p) and Q_(p) models,and analysed the impact of CO_(2) saturation changes on seismic data.As for the above nu-merical simulations and analysis,we conducted sensitivity analysis using both homogeneous and heterogeneous models.Consistent results are found between homogeneous and heterogeneous models.The permeability is the most sensitive parameter to the CO_(2)saturation,while porosity emerges as the primary factor affecting both Q_(p) and V_(p).Both Q_(p) and V_(p) increase with the porosity,which contradicts the observations in gas reservoirs.The seismic simulations highlight significant variations in the seismic response to different parameters.We provided analysis for these observations,which serves as a valuable reference for comprehensive CO_(2)integrity analysis,time-lapse monitoring,injection planning and site selection.

文摘Accurate quantification of carbon and water fluxes dynamics in arid and semi-arid ecosystems is a critical scientific challenge for regional carbon neutrality assessments and sustainable water resource management.In this study,we developed a multi-flux global sensitivity discriminant index(D_(sen))by integrating the Biome-BGCMuSo model with eddy covariance flux observations.This index was combined with a Bayesian optimization algorithm to conduct parameter optimization.The results demonstrated that:(1)Sensitivity analysis identified 13 highly sensitive parameters affecting carbon and water fluxes.Among these,the canopy light extinction coefficient(k)and the fraction of leaf N in Rubisco(FLNR)exhibited significantly higher sensitivity to carbon fluxes(GPP,NEE,Reco;D_(sen)>10%)compared to water flux(ET).This highlights the strong dependence of carbon cycle simulations on vegetation physiological parameters.(2)The Bayesian optimization framework efficiently converged 30 parameter spaces within 50 iterations,markedly improving carbon fluxes simulation accuracy.The Kling-Gupta efficiency(KGE)values for Gross Primary Production(GPP),Net Ecosystem Exchange(NEE),and Total Respiration(Reco)increased by 44.94%,69.23%and 123%,respectively.The optimization prioritized highly sensitive parameters,underscoring the necessity of parameter sensitivity stratification.(3)The optimized model effectively reproduced carbon sink characteristics in mountain meadows during the growing season(cumulative NEE=-375 g C/m^(2)).It revealed synergistic carbon-water fluxes interactions governed by coupled photosynthesis-stomatal pathways and identified substrate supply limitations on heterotrophic respiration.This study proposes a novel multi-flux sensitivity index and an efficient optimization framework,elucidating the coupling mechanisms between vegetation physiological regulation(k,FLNR)and environmental stressors(VPD,SWD)in carbonwater cycles.The methodology offers a practical approach for arid ecosystem model optimization and provides theoretical insights for grassland management through canopy structure regulation and water-use efficiency enhancement.

文摘This paper presents a sensitivity analysis method for analyzing the key factors affecting the stability problem of the transonic compressors.The adjoint method is integrated into the meridional stability model,a linear stability prediction model utilized to analyze the flow stability problem of the compressor,and the sensitivity analysis method is further developed for the flow stability problem of the compressor.The study selects the NASA Rot or 37,a transonic compressor,as the research object to verify the proposed method and explore the sensitive factors leading to the stall inception.The results of sensitivity analysis to both the flow parameters and the external source terms reveal that the stall inception is sensitive to the base flow field at the rotor tip and the stability margin of the compressor can be enhanced by improving the flow field at this region.Physical explanations are presented and discussed to correlate the three-dimensional flow field to the results obtained via the employed analysis method,which shows that flow structures and characteristics near the end-wall region,especially the tip leakage flow or the tip leakage vortex and its interaction with the shock wave,contribute to the stall inception.

文摘This paper presents a framework for constructing surrogate models for sensitivity analysis of structural dynamics behavior.Physical models involving deformation,such as collisions,vibrations,and penetration,are devel-oped using the material point method.To reduce the computational cost of Monte Carlo simulations,response surface models are created as surrogate models for the material point system to approximate its dynamic behavior.An adaptive randomized greedy algorithm is employed to construct a sparse polynomial chaos expansion model with a fixed order,effectively balancing the accuracy and computational efficiency of the surrogate model.Based on the sparse polynomial chaos expansion,sensitivity analysis is conducted using the global finite difference and Sobol methods.Several examples of structural dynamics are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing structural dynamics problems.

文摘Roll coating is a vital industrial process used in printing,packaging,and polymer film production,where maintaining a uniform coating is critical for product quality and efficiency.This work models non-isothermal Carreau fluid flow between a rotating roll and a stationary wall under fixed boundary constraints to evaluate how non-Newtonian and thermal effects influence coating performance.The governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional form and simplified using lubrication approximation theory.Approximate analytical solutions are obtained via the perturbation technique,while numerical results are computed using both the finite difference method and the BVPMidrich technique.Furthermore,Response surface methodology(RSM)is employed for optimization and sensitivity analysis.Analytical and numerical results show strong agreement(<1%deviation).The model predicts coating thickness 0.55≤λ≤0.64,power input 1.05≤P_(w)≤1.99,and separation force 0.91≤S_(f)≤1.82 for 0.1≤We≤0.9 and 0.01≤F≤0.09.Increasing We enhances the coating thickness and power input but reduces velocity and separation force.The findings provide physical insight into elastic and viscous effects in roll coating,providing insight for optimizing coating uniformity,minimizing wear,improving industrial coating processes,and extending substrate lifespan.

文摘Economic losses and catastrophic casualties may occur once super high-rise structures are struck by low-probability but high-consequence scenarios of concurrent earthquakes and winds. Therefore, accurately predicting multi-hazard dynamic responses to super high-rise structures has significant engineering and scientific value. This study performed a parametric global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for multi-hazard dynamic response prediction of super high-rise structures using the multiple-degree-of-freedom shear (MFS) model. Polynomial chaos Kriging (PCK) was introduced to build a surrogate model that allowed GSA to be combined with Sobol’ indices. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is also conducted for the comparison to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the PCK method. Parametric sensitivity analysis is performed for a wide range of aleatory uncertainty (intensities of coupled multi-hazard), epistemic uncertainty (bending stiffness, k_(m);shear stiffness, kq;density, ρ;and damping ratio, ξ), probability distribution types, and coefficients of variation. The results indicate that epistemic uncertainty parameters, k_(m), ρ, and ξ dramatically affect the multi-hazard dynamic responses of super high-rise structures;in addition, Sobol’ indices between the normal and lognormal distributions are insignificant, while the variation levels have remarkably influenced the sensitivity indices.

文摘In recent years,incidents of simultaneous exceedance of PM_(2.5)and O_(3) concentrations,termed PM_(2.5)and O_(3) co-pollution events,have frequently occurred in China.This study conducted atmospheric circulation analysis on two typical co-pollution events in Beijing,occurring from July 22 to July 28,2019,and from April 25 to May 2,2020.These events were categorized into pre-trough southerly airflow type(Type 1)and post-trough northwest flow type(Type 2).Subsequently,sensitivity analyses using the GRAPES-CUACE adjoint model were performed to quantify the contributions of precursor emissions from Beijing and surrounding areas to PM_(2.5)and O_(3) concentrations in Beijing for two types of co-pollution.The results indicated that the spatiotemporal distribution of sensitive source region varied among different circulation types.Primary PM_(2.5)(PPM_(2.5))emissions from Hebei contributed the most to the 24-hour average PM_(2.5)(24-h PM_(2.5))peak concentration(41.6%-45.4%),followed by Beijing emissions(31%-35.7%).The maximum daily 8-hour average ozone peak concentration was primarily influenced by the emissions from Hebei and Beijing,with contribution ratios respectively of 32.8%-44.8% and 29%-42.1%.Additionally,NO_(x)emissions were the main contributors in Type 1,while both NO_(x)and VOCs emissions contributed similarly in Type 2.The iterative emission reduction experiments for two types of co-pollution indicated that Type 1 required emission reductions in NO_(x)(52.4%-71.8%)and VOCs(14.1%-33.8%)only.In contrast,Type 2 required combined emission reductions in NO_(x)(37.0%-65.1%),VOCs(30.7%-56.2%),and PPM_(2.5)(31%-46.9%).This study provided a reference for controlling co-pollution events and improving air quality in Beijing.

文摘While steady improvements have been achieved for the track forecasts of typhoons,there has been a lack of improvement for intensity forecasts.One challenge for intensity forecasts is to capture the rapid intensification(RI),whose nonlinear characteristics impose great difficulties for numerical models.The ensemble sensitivity analysis(ESA)method is used here to analyze the initial conditions that contribute to typhoon intensity forecasts,especially with RI.Six RI processes from five typhoons(Chaba,Haima,Meranti,Sarika,and Songda)in 2016,are applied with ESA,which also gives a composite initial condition that favors subsequent RI.Results from individual cases have generally similar patterns of ESA,but with different magnitudes,when various cumulus parameterization schemes are applied.To draw the initial conditions with statistical significance,sample-mean azimuthal components of ESA are obtained.Results of the composite sensitivity show that typhoons that experience RI in 24 h favor enhanced primary circulation from low to high levels,intensified secondary circulation with increased radial inflow at lower levels and increased radial outflow at upper levels,a prominent warm core at around 300 hPa,and increased humidity at low levels.As the forecast lead time increases,the patterns of ESA are retained,while the sensitivity magnitudes decay.Given the general and quantitative composite sensitivity along with associated uncertainties for different cumulus parameterization schemes,appropriate sampling of the composite sensitivity in numerical models could be beneficial to capturing the RI and improving the forecasting of typhoon intensity.

文摘The impact of different global and local variables in urban development processes requires a systematic study to fully comprehend the underlying complexities in them.The interplay between such variables is crucial for modelling urban growth to closely reflects reality.Despite extensive research,ambiguity remains about how variations in these input variables influence urban densification.In this study,we conduct a global sensitivity analysis(SA)using a multinomial logistic regression(MNL)model to assess the model’s explanatory and predictive power.We examine the influence of global variables,including spatial resolution,neighborhood size,and density classes,under different input combinations at a provincial scale to understand their impact on densification.Additionally,we perform a stepwise regression to identify the significant explanatory variables that are important for understanding densification in the Brussels Metropolitan Area(BMA).Our results indicate that a finer spatial resolution of 50 m and 100 m,smaller neighborhood size of 5×5 and 3×3,and specific density classes—namely 3(non-built-up,low and high built-up)and 4(non-built-up,low,medium and high built-up)—optimally explain and predict urban densification.In line with the same,the stepwise regression reveals that models with a coarser resolution of 300 m lack significant variables,reflecting a lower explanatory power for densification.This approach aids in identifying optimal and significant global variables with higher explanatory power for understanding and predicting urban densification.Furthermore,these findings are reproducible in a global urban context,offering valuable insights for planners,modelers and geographers in managing future urban growth and minimizing modelling.
文摘Kangbao County is located in the northwest of Bashang in Hebei Province,which is a sub-arid area in the middle temperate zone,with a cold and arid climate and frequent disastrous weather.The meteorological data of Kangbao County Meteorological Station from 1994 to 2023 were selected,and the meteorological elements such as air pressure,temperature,precipitation,wind,relative humidity,sunshine,thunderstorm,hail,gale,rainstorm,fog,and snow cover were counted.The climate background analysis and high-impact weather analysis were carried out in combination with the topographic characteristics,geographical location,and climate characteristics.The results of meteorological sensitivity survey in the park showed that industries such as food,agriculture and new energy are very sensitive to temperature.During the visit to the enterprises in the park,it was found that heavy precipitation,snow,strong winds and hail had a great impact on many industries,and it was recommended to carry out long-term planning and reasonable design of buildings.It should pay close attention to forecasts and early warnings,formulate emergency plans for high-impact weather defense,and actively take preventive measures.

文摘The water hammer problem is an important issue in the dynamics of liquid propulsion system.This paper aims to use the Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM)with entropy limiter to study the water hammer problems in propellant feedlines.The dynamic characteristics of valve-closing water hammer and filling water hammer are investigated by this method,and the sensitivity of filling water hammer is analyzed with a single factor sensitivity analysis with 8 factors and 9 levels and a multi-factor sensitivity analysis with L_(27)(3^(13))orthogonal experiment based on range method.It is found that the solving result of LBM with entropy limiter is basically in good agreement with finite volume method,and using the entropy limiter can eliminate numerical oscillations when solving valve-closing water hammer problems and solve the numerical"blow up"when solving filling water hammer problems.It can be seen that the dynamic characteristics of valve-closing water hammer are relatively simple,while there are many factors that affect the filling water hammer and the degree of these effects varies.The effects on the maximum water hammer pressure are relatively uniform,but those on the water hammer response time vary greatly through the skewness analysis.

文摘An analytical method is proposed with the “stiffness gradient of the response” as a sensitivity metric, and the relationships between the vibration responses and stiffness changes are established. First, a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) system is used as an example to propose a stiffness gradient-based evaluation method, taking the effective control bandwidth ratio as a metric of effectiveness. The results show that there is an optimal mass ratio in both variable mass and variable stiffness cases. Then, a typical 16-DOF system is used to investigate the frequency domain characteristics of the stiffness gradient values in the complex system. The distributions of stiffness gradient values show multiple peak intervals corresponding to the sensitive regions for vibration control. By assigning random mass parameters, a significant exponential decay relationship between the subsystem’s mass and effective control is identified, emphasizing the importance of the optimal mass ratio. The finite-element simulation results of solid plate models with springs and oscillators further validate the theoretical results. In short, the gradient value of stiffness effectively quantifies the effects of subsystems on vibration control, providing an analytical tool for active control in complex systems. The identified exponential decay relationship offers meaningful guidance for implementation strategies.

文摘Objective:Given the improved sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for detecting ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS),the omission of routine mammography(MG)or digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT)in high-risk breast cancer screening is under consideration.We aim to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the screening sensitivity of MRI,MG and DBT for detecting DCIS in high-risk females.Methods:PubMed,Embase,and Web of Science were searched for studies reporting the sensitivity of detecting DCIS in high-risk females up to July 02,2025.Study quality was assessed with quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2(QUADAS-2).Pooled sensitivity was estimated using a random-effects model,overall and stratified by age(<40 and≥40 years old)and BRCA status(BRCA1 and BRCA2).Meta-regression was used to compare modalities.Results:Seventeen studies(18,348 participants,211 with DCIS)were included.MRI showed significantly higher pooled sensitivity[85%,95%confidence interval(95%CI):74%-94%]than MG(36%,95%CI:23%-50%;P<0.001).No DBT data were available.Combined MRI and MG yielded the highest sensitivity(99%,95%CI:97%-100%),but offered no significant gain over MRI alone in females<40 years old(P=0.091)and in BRCA1mutation carriers(P=0.143).Conclusions:MRI is more sensitive than MG for DCIS detection in high-risk females.In females<40 years old and BRCA1 mutation carriers,adding MG to MRI provides no additional diagnostic value.Considering the potential trade-offs,the routine use of MG in these subgroups should be carefully reconsidered.

文摘Border-associated macrophages are located at the interface between the brain and the periphery, including the perivascular spaces, choroid plexus, and meninges. Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.

文摘Pingquan City,the origin of five rivers,serves as the core water conservation zone for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and exemplifies the characteristics of small watersheds in hilly areas.In recent years,excessive mining and intensified human activities have severely disrupted the local ecosystem,creating an urgent need for ecological vulnerability assessment to enhance water conservation functions.This study employed the sensitivity-resilience-pressure model,integrating various data sources,including regional background,hydro-meteorological data,field investigations,remote sensing analysis,and socio-economic data.The weights of the model indices were determined using an entropy weighting model that combines principal component analysis and the analytic hierarchy process.Using the ArcGIS platform,the spatial distribution and driving forces of ecological vulnerability in 2020 were analyzed,providing valuable insights for regional ecological restoration.The results indicated that the overall Ecological Vulnerability Index(EVI)was 0.389,signifying moderate ecological vulnerability,with significant variation between watersheds.The Daling River Basin had a high EVI,with ecological vulnerability primarily in levels IV and V,indicating high ecological pressure,whereas the Laoniu River Basin had a low EVI,reflecting minimal ecological pressure.Soil type was identified as the primary driving factor,followed by elevation,temperature,and soil erosion as secondary factors.It is recommended to focus on key regions and critical factors while conducting comprehensive monitoring and assessment to ensure the long-term success of ecological management efforts.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.
