文摘This study explores the phenomenon of shape coexistence in nuclei around^(172)Hg,with a focus on the isotopes^(170)Pt,^(172)Hg,and^(174)Pb,as well as the^(170)Pt to^(180)Pt isotopic chain.Utilizing a macro-microscopic approach that incorporates the Lublin-Strasbourg Drop model combined with a Yukawa-Folded potential and pairing corrections,we analyze the potential energy surfaces(PESs)to understand the impact of pairing interaction.For^(170)Pt,the PES exhibited a prolate ground state,with additional triaxial and oblate-shaped isomers.In^(172)Hg,the ground-state deformation transitions from triaxial to oblate with increasing pairing interaction,demonstrating its nearlyγ-unstable nature.Three shape isomers(prolate,triaxial,and oblate)were observed,with increased pairing strength leading to the disappearance of the triaxial isomer.^(174)Pb exhibited a prolate ground state that became increasingly spherical with stronger pairing.While shape isomers were present at lower pairing strengths,robust shape coexistence was not observed.For realistic pairing interaction,the ground-state shapes transitioned from prolate in^(170)Pt to a coexistence ofγ-unstable and oblate shapes in^(172)Hg,ultimately approaching spherical symmetry in^(174)Pb.A comparison between Exact and Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer(BCS)pairing demonstrated that BCS pairing tends to smooth out shape coexistence and reduce the depth of the shape isomer,leading to less pronounced deformation features.The PESs for even-even^(170)-180 Pt isotopes revealed significant shape evolution.^(170)Pt showed a prolate ground state,whereas^(172)Pt exhibited both triaxial and prolate shape coexistence.In^(174)Pt,the ground state was triaxial,coexisted with a prolate minimum.For^(176)Pt,aγ-unstable ground state coexists with a prolate minimum.By 178 Pt and 180Pt,a dominant prolate minimum emerged.These results highlight the role of shape coexistence andγ-instability in the evolution of nuclear structure,especially in the mid-shell region.These findings highlight the importance of pairing interactions in nuclear deformation and shape coexistence,providing insights into the structural evolution of mid-shell nuclei.

文摘Metamaterials,owing to their exceptional physical characteristics that are absent in natural materials,have emerged as a crucial constituent of intelligent devices and systems.However,there are still significant challenges that necessitate immediate attention,as they have considerably constrained the applicability of metamaterials,including fixed mechanical properties post-fabrication and restricted design freedom.Here,thermo-responsive,photo-responsive,electro-responsive,and magneto-responsive shape memory polymer nano-composites were developed,and shape memory gradient metamaterials were fabricated using multi-material 4D printing technology.The correlation mechanism between the design parameters and the mechanical properties of multi-responsive gradient metamaterials was systematically analyzed,and the highly designable and programmable configuration and mechanical properties of the gradient metamaterials were realized.More importantly,4D printed multi-responsive shape memory polymer gradient metamaterials can be programmed in situ without additional infrastructure for multi-functional mechanical functions,paving the way for the realization of multiple functions of a single structure.Based on the multi-responsive gradient metamaterials,4D printed digital pixel metamaterial intelligent information carriers were fabricated,featuring customizable encryption and decryption protocols,exceptional scalability,and reusability.Additionally,4D printed gradient metamaterial logic gate electronic devices were developed,which were anticipated to contribute to the development of smart,adaptable robotic systems that combine sensing,actuation,and decision-making capabilities.

文摘Shape memory alloys(SMAs)and shape memory ceramics(SMCs)exhibit high recovery ability due to the martensitic transformation,which complicates the fracture mechanism of SMAs and SMCs.The phase field method,as a powerful numerical simulation tool,can efficiently resolve the microstructural evolution,multi-field coupling effects,and fracture behavior of SMAs and SMCs.This review begins by presenting the fundamental theoretical framework of the fracture phase field method as applied to SMAs and SMCs,covering key aspects such as the phase field modeling of martensitic transformation and brittle fracture.Subsequently,it systematically examines the phase field simulations of fracture behaviors in SMAs and SMCs,with particular emphasis on how crystallographic orientation,grain size,and grain boundary properties influence the crack propagation.Additionally,the interplay between martensite transformation and fracture mechanisms is analyzed to provide deeper insights into the material responses under mechanical loading.Finally,the review explores future prospects and emerging trends in phase field simulations of SMA and SMC fracture behavior,along with potential advancements in the fracture phase field method itself,including multi-physics coupling and enhanced computational efficiency for large-scale simulations.
文摘Grapevine is unique among crops because its domestication resulted not only in new morphological characteristics,but also in altered reproductive mechanisms.Viticulture involves a change from a dioecious to a hermaphroditic mating system,which makes the reproductive system more efficient.In consequence and the fact that it is one of the oldest and most economically important cultivated plants,Vitis vinifera could be defined as an over-domesticated species.Here we review some key aspects in viticulture.The main areas of interest have remained consistent throughout history,including the origin and characterisation of cultivars,resistance to environmental con-ditions,pests and pathogens,and berry quality.Advances in genomic analysis and epigenetics shed new light on these aspects.Although the vine has a long and complex life cycle,recent haplotype sequencing techniques allow genomic characteristics related to different reproduction processes to be identified.Recent work on haplotype sequencing reveals genomic changes accompanying each reproductive type,providing improved detail about the sex-determining region(SDR).Meanwhile,the application of epigenetic analysis offers new tools for defining varietal characteristics and their responses to changing environmental conditions.However,critical issues,such as differentiating between sylvestris and feral cultivars,remain unclear.Understanding the molecular basis of morphological differences and investigating the epigenetic regulation of gene expression and genome dynamics in response to breeding and environmental factors in this species will be crucial.Seed morphology could help to resolve how to differentiate between wild and feral plants.

文摘The active development of space industry necessitates the cre-ation of novel materials with unique properties,including shape memory alloys(SMAs).The development of ultra-high temperature SMAs(UHTSMAs)with operating temperatures above 400℃is a significant challenge[1-3].It is known that reversible thermoelas-tic martensitic transformation(MT)is the basis for shape mem-ory behavior[4].Currently,there are several systems in which MT temperatures meet the above requirements,for example,RuNb[5],HfPd[6],TiPd[7].
文摘Most fish exhibit remarkable morphological diversity,which is often influenced by genetic variation and ecological pressures.Consequently,these are the outcomes of organisms’responses to their environment.Meanwhile,modern morphometrics can quantify shape variation within species of the same group.This study aims to determine the body shape variation of Glossogobius giuris from Lake Mainit,Agusan Del Norte,Philippines.60 adult,uniform-sized fish samples were collected and subjected to standardized laboratory procedures.Further,the samples were digitized for 16 homologous landmark points and loaded into Symmetry Asymmetry Geometric Data(SAGE)Software.Across the tested factors—individuals,sides,and individual x sides—result shows that shape variations among individuals were highly significant(F=2.1045,p<0.0001),along with among males(F=3.2711,p<0.0001).Females exhibited higher Fluctuating Asymmetry(FA)(F=18.99,p<0.0001)compared to males(F=7.0964,p<0.0001).It suggests morphological shape differences across the sexes,and the shape variation observed could be a response to environmental perturbations.Shape variations were associated with swimming,food hunting,and predator defense.Moreover,Principal Component Analysis(PCA)demonstrates higher scores of FA in females(81.96%)than in males(74.76%).It was noticed that females had a high fluctuating asymmetry.It might be due to various physiological and ecological pressures compared to males.The observed levels of directional and fluctuating asymmetry in males and females,respectively,may indicate sex-linked morphological and developmental processes,which are important to consider in ecological or evolutionary contexts.Thus,utilizing geometric morphometrics can depict subtle differences across the same populations.

文摘The emergence of additive manufacturing technology,particularly laser powder bed fusion,has revitalized NiTi alloy production.However,challenges arise regarding its mechanical properties and diminishing shape memory effect,which hinder its widespread application.Heat treatment has been identified as a method to enhance the performance of metallic materials in the realm of additive manufacturing.This process eliminates residual stress and enhances performance through precipitation strengthening.This study conducted a comprehensive annealing investigation on NiTi alloys to explore the impact of annealing time and temperature on the phase transformation behavior and shape memory performance.The mechanism underlying the performance enhancement was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy,electron backscatter diffraction,and transmission electron microscopy.The findings revealed that different annealing conditions resulted in multistep phase transformation behavior,with the 500℃-5 h sample exhibiting the best mechanical properties owing to the formation of nanoscale dispersed precipitates like Ni_(4)Ti_(3).However,higher temperatures led to larger precipitates,significantly weakening the properties of the NiTi alloy.Additionally,the annealing treatment did not have a notable impact on the grain size,texture strength,or direction.This study provides valuable insights for optimizing the heat treatment process of LPBF-NiTi alloys.
文摘The brood-parasitic brown-headed cowbird(Molothrus ater)has one of the shortest incubation periods of any bird.Brown-headed cowbird eggs,and those of other avian brood parasites,tend to be more spherical due to their greater relative width.The traditional explanation for this egg shape is that it,combined with the thicker eggshells,resists host puncture-ejection.However,very few North American hosts of the brownheaded cowbird actually engage in puncture-ejection and therefore wider eggs may instead provide greater contact with a host’s brood patch during incubation,especially in large host nests.We tested whether greater egg width increased mean temperature and reduced temperature variation in brown-headed cowbirds by inserting temperature probes into brown-headed cowbird and house sparrow(Passer domesticus)eggs and placing them into red-winged blackbird(Agelaius phoeniceus)nests.House sparrow eggs are similar in appearance and in length to cowbird eggs,but are not as wide.We found no signifcant relationship between brown-headed cowbird egg width and mean incubation temperature.However,brown-headed cowbird eggs experienced less temperature variation than house sparrow eggs,and within brown-headed cowbird eggs,more spherical eggs experienced less temperature variation when accounting for differences in width.These results suggest that brownheaded cowbirds may have short incubation periods in part because their eggs exhibit less temperature variation over the course of incubation.The brown-headed cowbird’s egg shape may contribute to its accelerated embryonic development rate relative to host eggs of similar size,which explains its ability to hatch in a variety of host nests.

文摘Unlike conventional spherical charges,a shaped charge generates not only a strong shock wave and a pulsating bubble,but also a high strain rate metal jet and a ballistic wave during the underwater explosion.They show significant characteristic differences and couple each other.This paper designs and conducts experiments with shaped charges to analyze the complicated process.The effects of liner angle and weight of shaped charge on the characteristics of metal jets,waves,and bubbles are discussed.It is found that in underwater explosions,the shaped charge generates the metal jet accompanied by the ballistic wave.Then,the shock wave propagates and superimposes with the ballistic wave,and the generated bubble pulsates periodically.It is revealed that the maximum head velocity of the metal jet versus the liner angle a and length-to-diameter ratio k of the shaped charge follows the laws of 1/(α/180°)^(0.55)andλ^(0.16),respectively.The head shape and velocity of the metal jet determine the curvature and propagation speed of the initial ballistic wave,thus impacting the superposition time and region with the shock wave.Our findings also reveal that the metal jet carries away some explosion products,which hinders the bubble development,causing an inward depression of the bubble wall near the metal jet.Therefore,the maximum bubble radius and pulsation period are 5.2%and 3.9%smaller than the spherical charge with the same weight.In addition,the uneven axial energy distribution of the shaped charge leads to an oblique bubble jet formation.

文摘Avian wings are central to their remarkable flight ability and diverse life history strategies,including behaviors such as fighting and mating.These multifaceted functions are intricately tied to wing shape,which varies significantly across species because of the complex interplay of evolutionary and ecological pressures.Many indices have been developed to quantify wing characteristics to facilitate the study and comparison of avian wing morphology across species.This study provides a comprehensive overview of existing quantitative methods for analyzing avian wing shapes.We then constructed a new quantification framework through the beta distribution,which can generate indices reflecting the shape of avian wings(center,dispersion,skewness,and kurtosis).Next,we used the flight feathers of 613 bird species to perform different quantitative analyses and explore the relationships between various wing shape quantification methods and life history traits,which serve as proxies for the selective forces shaping wing morphology.We find that the wing shape indices are more strongly associated with ecological variables than with morphological variables,especially for migration,habitat and territoriality.This research guides the selection of appropriate methods for wing shape analysis,contributing to a deeper understanding of avian morphology and its evolutionary drivers.

文摘Polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)is an optically transparent thermoplastic with favorable processing conditions.In this study,a series of plastic scintillators are prepared via thermal polymerization,and the impact of PMMA content on their transparency and pulse shape discrimination(PSD)ability is investigated.The fabricated samples,comprising a polystyrene(PS)-PMMA matrix,30.0 wt%2,5-diphenyloxazole(PPO),and 0.2 wt%9,10-diphenylanthracene(DPA),exhibit high transparency with transmissivity ranging from 70.0 to 90.0%(above 415.0 nm)and demonstrate excellent n/γdiscrimination capability.Transparency increased with increasing PMMA content across the entire visible light spectrum.However,the PSD performance gradually deteriorated when the aromatic matrix was replaced with PMMA.The scintillator containing 20.0 wt%PMMA demonstrated the best stability concerning PSD properties and relative light yields.

文摘In this study,the potential application of shaped charge jets as transient antennas for electromagnetic signal transmission was explored and an electromagnetic pulse radiation system with a shaped charge jet as a transient antenna was proposed.During the research,crucial characteristics of the transient antenna formed by a shaped charge with a 30 mm diameter,such as resonant frequency,radiation pattern,and radiation efficiency,were evaluated.The typical shaped charge jet morphology was obtained based on the simulations,in which it could insight the dynamic behavior of the shaped charge jet selected.An equivalent model experiment was employed to test the radiation efficiency,and it showed that a shorting pin loading method could increase the relative bandwidth of the jet antenna to 32.8%,and the experimental results correlate with the theoretical predictions for half-wave dipole antennas reasonably well.Additionally,variations in the diameter of the shaped charge jet were found to affect the input impedance and impedance bandwidth,while the length of the jet influenced the resonant frequency of the antenna.This suggests that altering these parameters can achieve reconfigurability of the jet antenna.
