It is a key component of the management of patients with sepsis and septic shock and one of the main determinants of the outcome of infections that require source control. While not all infections may require source control, it should be considered in every patient presenting with sepsis;it is applicable and necessary in numerous infections, not only those occurring in the abdominal cavity. Although the biological rationale is clear, several aspects of source control remain under debate. The timing of source control may impact outcome;early source control is particularly relevant for patients with abdominal infections or necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections, as well as for those with more severe disease. Percutaneous procedures are increasingly used for source control;nevertheless, surgery—tailored to the patient and infection—remains a valid option for source control. For outcome optimization, adequate source control is more important than the strategy used. It should be acknowledged that source control interventions may often fail, posing a challenge in this setting. Thus, an individualized, multidisciplinary approach tailored to the infection and patient is preferable.展开更多

However, when using traditional seismic wave methods to monitor the migration of sequestration CO_(2) plumes, the characteristics of wave velocity changes tend to become insignificant beyond a certain limit. In contrast, the controllable source electromagnetic method(CSEM) remains highly sensitive to resistivity changes. By simulating different CO_(2) plume migration conditions, we established the relevant models and calculated the corresponding electric field response characteristic curves, allowing us to analyze the CSEM's ability to monitor CO_(2) plumes. We considered potential scenarios for the migration and diffusion of offshore CO_(2) storage, including various burial depths, vertical extension diffusion, lateral extension diffusion,multiple combinations of lateral intervals, and electric field components. We also obtained differences in resistivity inversion imaging obtained by CSEM to evaluate its feasibility in monitoring and to analyze all the electric field(Ex, Ey, and Ez) response characteristics. CSEM has great potential in monitoring CO_(2) plume migration in offshore saltwater reservoirs due to its high sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, changes in electromagnetic field response reflect the transport status of CO_(2) plumes, providing an important basis for monitoring and evaluating CO_(2)transport behavior during storage processes.展开更多

Evidence from multiple sources has confirmed increases in vegetation growth in the BTSSCP region since the initiation of this project. Precipitation and essential climate variable-soil moisture (ECV-SM) conditions are typically considered to be the main drivers of vegetation growth in this region. Although many studies have investigated the inter-annual variations of vegetation growth, few concerns have been focused on the annual and seasonal variations of vegetation growth and their climatic drivers, which are crucial for understanding the relationships among the climate, vegetation, and human activities at the regional scale. Based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from MODIS and the corresponding climatic data, we explored the responses of vegetation growth to climatic factors at annual and seasonal scales in the BTSSCP region during the period 2000–2014. Over the study region as a whole, NDVI generally increased from 2000 to 2014, at a rate of 0.002/a. Vegetation growth is stimulated mainly by the elevated temperature in spring, whereas precipitation is the leading driver of summer greening. In autumn, positive effects of both temperature and precipitation on vegetation growth were observed. The warming in spring promotes vegetation growth but reduces ECV-SM. Summer greening has a strong cooling effect on land surface temperature. These results indicate that the ecological and environmental consequences of ecological restoration projects should be comprehensively evaluated.展开更多

The article first presents the background and legal framework for addressing the safety issues of edible agricultural product in China, with the conclusion that market-entry regulation has failed to perform this task. The article moves on to discuss the disadvantages of market-entry regulation (end-control measures) and the necessity of agricultural producing area safety regulation (source-control measures) on the following six aspects: gap between Chinese and Foreign standards, gap between domestic and export markets, small farms and diffused peasants, historical pollution and extrinsic pollution, lack of government enforcement and lack of consumer supervision. To improve agricultural producing area regulation, this article analyzes the primary drawbacks of current laws, primarily including unreasonable prohibited agricultural producing area standards, unclear pollution prevention rules, and regulatory overlaps and gaps. Finally, this article come up with corresponding solutions which contribute to a growing field of scholarship that examines food safety governance issues in the context of developing countries.展开更多

The experimental field-scale wetland systems (four sets, 0.88 ha each) have been in operation since 2002, where water depth was maintained at 30-50 cm and hydraulic loading rate was at 6.3-18.8 cm/day. The wetland system was found to be adequate for treating polluted stream water with stable removal efficiency even during the winter. The integrated modeling system (modified-BASINS) was applied to the Seokmoon estuarine reservoir watershed and calibrated with monitoring data from constructed wetland, stream, and reservoir. The calibrated integrated modeling system estimated that constructing wetlands on 0.5% (about 114 ha) of the watershed area at the mouth of reservoir could reduce 11.61% and 13.49% of total external nitrogen and phosphorus loads, respectively. It also might improve the nitrogen and phosphorus concentration of the reservoir by 9.69% and 16.48%, respectively. The study suggested that about 0.1%-1.0% of the watershed area should be allocated for constructed wetland to meet specified water-quality standards for the estuarine reservoir at the polder area where land use planning is relatively less complicated.展开更多

However, there is no significant discovery in other parts of the basin due to the different quality of black shale and the differences of tectonic evolution. Based on the progress of shale gas geological theory and exploration discoveries, as well as the theory of "source rock and cap rock controls on hydrocarbon accumulation", of the Upper Ordovician the main controlling factors Wufeng Formation-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation shale gas enrichment in the Sichuan Basin and its peripheral areas were analyzed, and the source rock and cap rock controls on the shale gas were also discussed. The results can provide new insights for the next shale gas exploration in this area.展开更多

The carbon sequestration dynamics can be used to assess the ecological effects of an ecological restoration project. Here, we conducted vegetation and soil study to assess the carbon sequestration in the plantations with 10 years old stands in Beijing-Tianjin sand source areas. The results at the site scales indicated that the average net increase of plantation ecosystem carbon stock was 33.8 Mg C ha^(-1), with an annual increase rate of 3.38 Mg C ha^(-1) yr^(-1). The average net increase of carbon varied among regions, vegetation types, and forest management activities. Soil bulk density in the top soil decreased slightly after 10-year implementation of the project. Coniferous forests and shrubs are suitable plant species for sand source areas.Natural restoration in the plantations is a practical and feasible and promising approach for enhancing ecosystem carbon sequestration potential.展开更多

文摘Networks based on backscatter communication provide wireless data transmission in the absence of a power source.A backscatter device receives a radio frequency(RF)source and creates a backscattered signal that delivers data;this enables new services in battery-less domains with massive Internet-of-Things(IoT)devices.Connectivity is highly energy-efficient in the context of massive IoT applications.Outdoors,long-range(LoRa)backscattering facilitates large IoT services.A backscatter network guarantees timeslot-and contention-based transmission.Timeslot-based transmission ensures data transmission,but is not scalable to different numbers of transmission devices.If contention-based transmission is used,collisions are unavoidable.To reduce collisions and increase transmission efficiency,the number of devices transmitting data must be controlled.To control device activation,the RF source range can be modulated by adjusting the RF source power during LoRa backscatter.This reduces the number of transmitting devices,and thus collisions and retransmission,thereby improving transmission efficiency.We performed extensive simulations to evaluate the performance of our method.

文摘Objective The Upper Ordovician Wufeng Formation-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation is one of the priority interval for shale gas exploration in the Sichuan Basin and its peripheral areas, and commercial shale gas has been discovered from this interval in Jiaoshiba, Changning and Weiyuan shale gas fields in Sichuan Province. However, there is no significant discovery in other parts of the basin due to the different quality of black shale and the differences of tectonic evolution. Based on the progress of shale gas geological theory and exploration discoveries, as well as the theory of "source rock and cap rock controls on hydrocarbon accumulation", of the Upper Ordovician the main controlling factors Wufeng Formation-Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation shale gas enrichment in the Sichuan Basin and its peripheral areas were analyzed, and the source rock and cap rock controls on the shale gas were also discussed. The results can provide new insights for the next shale gas exploration in this area.
文摘Nonlinear loads in the power distribution system cause non-sinusoidal currents and voltages with harmonic components.Shunt active filters(SAF) with current controlled voltage source inverters(CCVSI) are usually used to obtain balanced and sinusoidal source currents by injecting compensation currents.However,CCVSI with traditional controllers have a limited transient and steady state performance.In this paper,we propose an adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) controller with online learning capability to improve transient response and harmonics.The proposed controller works alongside existing proportional integral(PI) controllers to efficiently track the reference currents in the d-q domain.It can generate adaptive control actions to compensate the PI controller.The proposed system was simulated under different nonlinear(three-phase full wave rectifier) load conditions.The performance of the proposed approach was compared with the traditional approach.We have also included the simulation results without connecting the traditional PI control based power inverter for reference comparison.The online learning based ADP controller not only reduced average total harmonic distortion by 18.41%,but also outperformed traditional PI controllers during transients.

文摘This paper investigates and discusses the interaction stability issues of a wind farm with weak grid connections,where the wind turbines(WTs)are controlled by a new type of converter control strategy referred to as the voltage source(VS)control.The primary intention of the VS control method is to achieve the high-quality inertial response capability of a single WT.However,when it is applied to multiple WTs within a wind farm,its weakgrid performance regarding the stability remains concealed and needs to be clarified.To this end,a frequency domain model of the wind farm under the VS control is first developed.Based on this model and the application of a stability margin quantification index,not only the interactions between the wind farm and the weak grid but also those among WTs will be systematically assessed in this paper.A crucial finding is that the inertial response of VS control has negative impacts on the stability margin of the system,and the dominant instability mode is more related to the interactions among the WTs rather than the typical grid-wind farm interaction.Based on this knowledge,a stabilization control strategy is then proposed,aiming for stability improvements of VS control while fulfilling the demand of inertial responses.Finally,all the results are verified by time-domain simulations in power systems computer aided design/electromagnetic transients including DC(PSCAD/EMTDC).

文摘The Oligocene Yacheng Fm contains the most important source rocks that have been confirmed by exploratory wells in the Qiongdongnan Basin.The efficiency of these source rocks is the key to the breakthrough in natural gas exploration in the study area.This paper analyzes the hydrocarbon potential of each sag in this basin from the perspective of control of both source rocks and geothermal heat.Two types of source rocks occur in the Yacheng Fm,namely mudstone of transitional facies and mudstone of neritic facies.Both of them are dominated by a kerogen of type-III,followed by type-II.Their organic matter abundances are controlled by the amount of continental clastic input.The mudstone of transitional facies is commonly higher in organic matter abundance,while that of neritic facies is lower.The coal-measure source rocks of transitional facies were mainly formed in such environments as delta plains,coastal plains and barrier tidal flat-marshes.Due to the control of Cenozoic lithosphere extension and influence of neotectonism,the geothermal gradient,terrestrial heat flow value(HFV)and level of thermal evolution are generally high in deep water.The hot setting not only determines the predominance of gas generation in the deep-water sags,but can promote the shallow-buried source rocks in shallow water into oil window to generate oil.In addition to promoting the hydrocarbon generation of source rocks,the high geothermal and high heat flow value can also speed up the cracking of residual hydrocarbons,thus enhancing hydrocarbon generation efficiency and capacity.According to the theory of joint control of source quality and geothermal heat on hydrocarbon generation,we comprehensively evaluate and rank the exploration potentials of major sags in the Qiongdongnan Basin.These sags are divided into 3 types,of which type-I sags including Yanan,Lingshui,Baodao,Ledong and Huaguang are the highest in hydrocarbon exploration potential.

文摘The Beijing-Tianjin Sand Source Control Project(BTSSCP), a national ecological restoration project, was launched to construct an ecological protection system in the Beijing-Tianjin sand source areas to reduce dust hazards. The carbon sequestration dynamics can be used to assess the ecological effects of an ecological restoration project. Here, we conducted vegetation and soil study to assess the carbon sequestration in the plantations with 10 years old stands in Beijing-Tianjin sand source areas. The results at the site scales indicated that the average net increase of plantation ecosystem carbon stock was 33.8 Mg C ha^(-1), with an annual increase rate of 3.38 Mg C ha^(-1) yr^(-1). The average net increase of carbon varied among regions, vegetation types, and forest management activities. Soil bulk density in the top soil decreased slightly after 10-year implementation of the project. Coniferous forests and shrubs are suitable plant species for sand source areas.Natural restoration in the plantations is a practical and feasible and promising approach for enhancing ecosystem carbon sequestration potential.

文摘The brushless doubly-fed wind power system based on conventional power control strategies lacks ‘inertia’ and the ability to support grid,which leads to the decline of grid stability.Therefore,a control strategy of brushless doubly-fed reluctance generator(BDFRG) based on virtual synchronous generator(VSG) control is proposed to solve the problem in this paper.The output characteristics of BDFRG based on VSG are similar to a synchronous generator(SG),which can support the grid frequency and increase the system ‘inertia’.According to the mathematical model of BDFRG,the inner loop voltage source control of BDFRG is derived.In addition,the specific structure and parameter selection principle of outer loop VSG control are expounded.The voltage source control inner loop of BDFRG is combined with the VSG control outer loop to establish the overall architecture of BDFRG-VSG control strategy.Finally,the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy are verified in the simulation.

文摘Traditional controlled source electromagnetic methods(CSEM)typically collect specific single-component of the total magnetic field intensity,leading to zero-value bands,narrow azimuthal detection ranges,and angular detections.An innovative detection strategy that utilized both the horizontal and total magnetic field intensities was introduced in this work.Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze the impact of sensor angular deviations on single-component and horizontal magnetic field intensities.Notably,the horizontal magnetic field intensity remains unaffected by horizontal angle deviations,while the total magnetic field shows resilience to all angular deviations.Theoretically,orthogonal magnetic sensors could facilitate wide-azimuth magnetic field detection.Results from field experiments revealed a pronounced anomaly response of both the horizontal and total magnetic field intensities to underground caverns.These experiments demonstrated a significant reduction in issues related to angular deviations in magnetic sensors and confirmed the feasibility of wide-azimuth magnetic field detection.The proposed wide-azimuth detection method has the potential to extend the detectable angle from that of CSEM to 360°,resolves the issue of angular deviation of magnetic sensors,and thus improves the detection accuracy.

文摘Urban composite non-point source(UCNPS)pollution has become a considerable source of basin pollution.Its control can generally be approached at the source and process levels;however,source and process control facilities face challenges in achieving high-efficiency control.To optimize the layout of source control facilities,two methods were developed in this study:1)a Storm Water Management Model(SWMM)-group decision-making method for small-area basins and 2)a multi-objective optimization method for large-area basins.For process control of combined sewer overflow(CSO)pollution,methods based on the SWMM and ideal point theory were developed to determine the optimal CSO storage tank volume and the optimal interception ratio of the combined drainage systems.For process control of first-flush runoff(FFR)pollution in separate drainage systems,methods integrating SWMM simulations with empirical design formulas were proposed to determine the optimal volume and layout of FFR storage tanks.These methods were applied to develop high-efficiency source and process control schemes in two representative urban areas—Yongchuan and Jintan—in the Yangtze River Basin,China.The results indicated that by optimizing the layout of source control facilities,12.44%–22.07%of the pollution load was intercepted at the source level.Furthermore,the rational deployment of process control facilities intercepted 29.6%–44.9%of CSO pollution and 22%–33%of FFR pollution at the process level,achieving efficient UCNPS pollution control with limited resources.The proposed methods and cases studies provide valuable references for UCNPS pollution control in other basins.
