Terpenoids, particularly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, constitute the primary bioactive components of the essential oil derived from Curcuma species.Among these, curdione—one of the key active constituents—has been identified in 25 Curcuma species, with the highest concentration reported in the rhizome essential oil of Curcuma trichosantha Gagnep. Curdione can also be synthesized through chemical methods,and its regio-and stereo-selectivity can be further optimized via chemo-bio transformations.This compound demonstrates significant therapeutic potential, including anticancer, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, and multi-organ protective properties. Despite these promising biological activities, its clinical application is hindered by poor water solubility and potential toxicity. This review summarizes current knowledge on the natural sources, chemical synthesis, chemo-bio transformations, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological effects, potential toxicities, and molecular mechanisms of curdione. Furthermore, perspectives on future drug development are discussed with the aim of promoting the clinical translation of this promising natural compound.展开更多

文摘Micro light sources are crucial tools for studying the interactions between light and matter at the micro/nanoscale,encompassing diverse applications across multiple disciplines.Despite numerous studies on reducing the size of micro light sources and enhancing optical resolution,the efficient and simple fabrication of ultra-high-resolution micro light sources remains challenging due to its reliance on precise micro-nano processing technology and advanced processing equipment.In this study,a simple approach for the efficient fabrication of submicron light sources is proposed,namely shadow-assisted sidewall emission(SASE)technology.The SASE utilizes the widely adopted UV photolithography process,employing metal shadow modulation to precisely control the emission of light from polymer sidewalls,thereby obtaining photoluminescent light sources with submicron line widths.The SASE eliminates the need for complex and cumbersome manufacturing procedures.The effects of process parameters,including exposure dose,development time,and metal film thickness,on the linewidth of sources are investigated on detail.It is successfully demonstrated red,green,and blue submicron light sources.Finally,their potential application in the field of optical anti-counterfeiting is also demonstrated.We believe that the SASE proposed in this work provides a novel approach for the preparation and application of micro light sources.

文摘Voltage source converters(VSCs),equipped with Pf and Q-U droop characteristics,can support a power system from both frequency and voltage.Unfortunately,overcurrent and power angle instability are still challenging aspects of VSCs under fault conditions.Therefore,fault current limitation and power angle stability are essential conditions for the safe operation of a VSC.Thus,the transient characteristics of a VSC are analyzed to guide transient control.Then,a transient control method for a VSC,considering both fault current limitation and power angle stability,is proposed.With the proposed method,power angle stability is realized by optimizing the P-f controller.On the basis of power angle control,the Q-U controller and inner current controller are improved to effectively suppress the fault current.Finally,relevant tests are performed to verify the proposed method.
文摘39 soil samples surrounding a lead-zinc mining area in Guangxi were collected,and the contents of Pb,Hg,Cd,Cr,As,Cu,Zn,and Ni were determined to investigate the pollution characteristics and sources of heavy metals.ArcGIS inverse distance weight difference method was used to analyze the characteristics of pollution distribution,and single-factor pollution index,Nemerow comprehensive pollution index,ground accumulation index,and potential ecological risk index were selected to evaluate the characteristics of heavy metal pollution.Based on correlation analysis,the absolute principal component-multiple linear regression(APCS-MLR)and positive definite matrix factorization(PMF)models were used to analyze the sources of soil heavy metals.The results showed that the average concentrations of all eight heavy metals exceeded both national and Guangxi soil background values.Hg,Cd,and Zn exhibited high variation(greater than 0.5),indicating significant external disturbances,and their spatial distribution was closely related to mining activity locations.The single-factor pollution index evaluation indicated varying degrees of pollution risk for Cd,Zn,and As,with Cd and Zn being the most severe pollutants,as 69.23%and 30.77%of the samples fell into the moderate pollution or higher category.The geoaccumulation index analysis ranked the mean pollution levels of the eight elements as follows:Zn>Cd>Ni>Pb>Cu>Cr>Hg>As,with Cd and Zn showing the most severe contamination,and 51.28%of the samples exhibiting moderate or higher pollution levels.The Nemerow comprehensive pollution index evaluation showed that 74.35%of soil samples were classified as moderate to heavy pollution.The potential ecological risk index assessment indicated significant ecological risks posed by Cd and Zn,with 82.05%and 5.12%of the samples classified as causing strong to extreme ecological risks,respectively.The source apportionment analysis revealed minor differences between the two models.The APCS-MLR model identified three pollution sources and their contribution rates:anthropogenic mining sources(31.13%),parent material sources(40.38%),and unidentified sources(28.49%).The PMF model identified three pollution sources with contribution rates of anthropogenic mining sources(26.10%),parent material sources(46.96%),and a combined traffic and agricultural source(26.61%).Pb,Hg,Cd,and Zn mainly originated from mining activities;Cr,As,and Ni were primarily derived from the parent material,while Cu was predominantly attributed to traffic and agricultural sources.These findings provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in mining areas.

文摘Curcuma is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been utilized for centuries in the treatment of various diseases. Terpenoids, particularly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, constitute the primary bioactive components of the essential oil derived from Curcuma species.Among these, curdione—one of the key active constituents—has been identified in 25 Curcuma species, with the highest concentration reported in the rhizome essential oil of Curcuma trichosantha Gagnep. Curdione can also be synthesized through chemical methods,and its regio-and stereo-selectivity can be further optimized via chemo-bio transformations.This compound demonstrates significant therapeutic potential, including anticancer, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, and multi-organ protective properties. Despite these promising biological activities, its clinical application is hindered by poor water solubility and potential toxicity. This review summarizes current knowledge on the natural sources, chemical synthesis, chemo-bio transformations, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological effects, potential toxicities, and molecular mechanisms of curdione. Furthermore, perspectives on future drug development are discussed with the aim of promoting the clinical translation of this promising natural compound.

文摘Carbonyls play an important role in the atmospheric chemistry as the main precursor for reactive radicals and peroxyacetyl nitrate.However,little research has been conducted so far on the seasonal variations of carbonyls in China’s urban atmosphere.In this study,ambient carbonyls were 24-hourly observed in four seasons in Hangzhou,a mega-city in the Yangtze River Delta Region,China.The concentration of total carbonyls was the highest in summer(44.35μg/m^(3)),the second in winter(44.05μg/m^(3)),the third in spring(29.31μg/m^(3))and autumn(27.11μg/m^(3)).The most abundant species were found to be acetone in spring,summer,and winter,while formaldehyde in autumn.Rainfall can significantly reduce the concentrations of most ambient carbonyls,with the largest decrease observed in the wet precipitation events occurring in spring and summer,while acetone concentrations remained invariable due to its lower water solubility.Multiple linear regression analysis and carbonyls ratios indicated that anthropogenic emissions were the predominant sources of carbonyls,and atmospheric formaldehyde was mainly emitted from primary sources other than secondary sources.Vehicular exhaust was identified as the primary source of ambient carbonyls,particularly in winter,and its contribution reached 92.80%to formaldehyde.Additionally,photochemical reactions were closely associated with the secondary production of formaldehyde in summer.Carbonyls showed strong ozone formation potential in all four seasons.Based on the health risk assessment,the exposure to ambient carbonyls is harmful to outdoor pedestrians.The results could provide essential information and references for simulating regional air quality and analyzing ozone pollution,which is essential for improving air quality in the Yangtze River Delta region.

文摘To maintain air quality during the 31st World University Games,Chengdu employed a range of monitoring and control strategies in 2023.High-resolution regional pollutant distributions were reconstructed by integrating the vertical column densities(VCDs)from mobile MAX-DOAS measurements with Gaussian process regression analysis.The correlation between the spatial distribution derived from MAX-DOAS and that of GEMS and TROPOMI satellite data exceeded 0.6.This paper explores the impact of air quality improvements during the games on the sources of HCHO and the formation process of HONO.During the control period,primary emissions and secondary formations of HCHO contributed 50.85%±24.24%and 42.81%±7.57%to the total atmospheric HCHO,respectively.The study indicates that with improved air quality,HCHO primary emissions decrease while secondary emissions and atmospheric radiation transmission intensities rise.It is found that HONO always appears under the condition of high aerosol optical depth(AOD)and NO_(2),but high NO_(2) concentration and AOD are not necessarily accompanied by high concentrations of HONO.To assess the influence of temperature and humidity on the formation of HONO from NO_(2),we calculated the emission ratesΔHONO∕ΔNO_(2) to quantify the impact of primary sources on total HONO concentrations.The analysis results show that the turning point of relative humidity is 65%(60%–70%)and the turning point of temperature is 31℃(30–32℃).Lower temperatures and higher humidity levels were found to decrease the rate of secondary HONO formation from NO_(2).

文摘In wave-equation migration and demigration,the cross-correlation imaging/forwarding step implicitly injects an additional copy of the source wavelet,so that the amplitude spectrum of the wavelet is applied redundantly(effectively imposing a wavelet-spectrum weighting,often akin to an amplitude-squared bias).This redundancy degrades structural fidelity and amplitude balance yet is frequently overlooked.We(i)formalize the mechanism by which cross-correlation duplicates the source-wavelet amplitude effect in both migration and demigration,and(ii)introduce a source-equalized operator that removes the redundancy by deconvolving(or dividing by)the wavelet amplitude spectrum in the imaging condition and its demigration counterpart,while leaving phase/kinematics intact.Using a band-limited Ricker wavelet on a two-layer model and on Marmousi,we show that,if unmanaged,the redundant wavelet spectrum broadens main lobes,introduces ringing,and suppresses vertical resolution in migrated images,and inflates spectrum mismatches between demigrated and observed data even when peak times agree.With our correction,images recover observed-data-consistent bandwidth and sharpened interfaces,and demigrated data also exhibit improved spectrum conformity and reduced amplitude misfit.The results clarify when source amplitudes matter,why cross-correlation makes them redundantly matter,and how a lightweight spectral correction restores physically meaningful amplitude behavior in wave-equation migration/demigration.

文摘This study investigated the heterogeneous responses of organic matter(OM)in highly-to over-mature source rocks during thermal maturation.An integrated analysis was conducted on the Raman spectroscopic and geochemical signatures of shales from the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Formation and the Lower Cambrian Qiongzhusi Formation,as well as anthracites from the Lower Permian Shanxi–Formation and the Upper Carboniferous Taiyuan Formation(collectively referred to as the Shanxi Taiyuan Formations).Additionally,burial and thermal evolution modeling was employed to support the analysis.A systematic assessment of Raman spectral parameters(e.g.,the positions and intensity ratio of the D and G bands)revealed robust correlations between the thermal history patterns of source rocks and molecular structural evolution parameters.The subsequent mechanistic quantification demonstrated that the maturation state of the source rocks was subjected to the hierarchical control of three principal factors:Peak heating temperature,the duration of sustained thermal intensity,and effective maturation duration.In addition,comparative analyses demonstrated that the anthracites attained higher structural ordering under sustained thermal conditions.This contrasts with the disordered carbon matrices observed in the intermittently heated shales.Raman spectroscopy further revealed broader variations in the D and G band intensities of the Longmaxi Formation compared to the Qiongzhusi Formation.This difference is associated with their different thermal histories.The thermal burial histories confirm that shales in the Longmaxi Formation underwent thermal exposure at lower peak temperatures over a shorter duration compared to those in the Qiongzhusi Formation.Finally,this study established a maturity calibration model for over-mature source rocks through a systematic correlation between Raman peak height ratios(R_(D/G))and vitrinite reflectance(R_(o)).

文摘Accurate identification of sediment sources and erosion hotspots is crucial for implementing targeted soil and water conservation measures.This study analyzed the temporal dynamics of sediment source contributions during seven rainfall events(A_(1)–A_(7))that generated both runoff and suspended sediment at the outlet of the Hantaichuan watershed,located in the wind–water erosion crisscross region of the northern Loess Plateau,China.A total of 82 suspended sediment samples were collected at the Xiangshawan hydrological station during 2021 and 2022.Additionally,145 soil samples were collected from three primary potential sources:sandy soil,loess soil,and Pisha sandstone.Mid-infrared(MIR)spectroscopy and geochemical fingerprinting were used to trace and quantify sediment sources.For MIRbased source apportionment,twelve predictive models were developed using partial least squares regression(PLSR)and support vector machine regression(SVMR)in combination with six spectral preprocessing techniques.The PLSR model with first-derivative Savitzky–Golay(SGD1)preprocessing achieved the best performance.Source apportionment results indicated that Pisha sandstone was the dominant sediment source(44.00%–72.23%),followed by sandy soil(14.23%–37.00%)and loess soil(10.01%–24.00%).Among the analyzed rainfall events,the contribution of Pisha sandstone was lowest in the small flow magnitude event A3(57.53%)and highest in the large flow magnitude event A6(63.48%),suggesting that sediment source composition was strongly controlled by rainfall event magnitude.Both MIR spectroscopic and geochemical fingerprinting methods showed high consistency,confirming MIR spectroscopy as a reliable,non-destructive,and cost-effective alternative for rapid sediment source apportionment and for supporting erosion control prioritization in highly erodible catchments.

文摘The diversion effect caused by the linked structure in a metro tunnel with cross-passage complicates the impact of longitudinal fire source location on the smoke backflow layering behavior that has not been clarified,despite the fact that the scenario exists in practice.A series of laboratory-scale experiments were conducted in this study to investigate the smoke back-layering length in a model tunnel with cross-passage.The heat release rate,the velocity of longitudinal air flow,and the location of the fire source were all varied.It was found that the behavior of smoke backflow for the fire source located at the upstream of bifurcation point resembles a single-hole tunnel fire.As the fire source’s position shifts downstream from the bifurcation point,the length of smoke back-layering progressively increases.A competitive interaction exists between airflow diversion and smoke diversion during smoke backflow,significantly affecting the smoke back-layering length in the main tunnel.The dimensionless smoke back-layering length model was formulated in a tunnel featuring a cross-passage,taking into account the positions of longitudinal fire sources.The dimensionless smoke back-layering length exhibits a positive correlation with the 17/18 power of total heat release rate Q and a negative correlation with the 5/2 power of longitudinal ventilation velocity V.
文摘This study examined a case of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Ralstonia mannitolilytica in a neonatal department in order to determine the source of infection and mode of transmission.Symptoms of infection began to appear on day 16 of admission,and both sputum and catheter tip cultures revealed R.mannitolilytica.The infection control department of the hospital later sampled and identified R.mannitolilytica in the ventilator tube that was used by the patient with the exact gene sequence as the infecting strain.These findings indicate that ventilator tubing is a significant contamination source of this pathogen,and hospitals need to enhance their disinfection methods of ventilator-related devices.
文摘Annual haze in Northern Thailand has become increasingly severe,impacting health and the environment.How-ever,the sources of the haze remain poorly quantified due to limited observational data on aerosol molecular tracers.This study comprehensively investigates chemical composition of PM_(2.5),including both inorganic and organic compounds throughout haze and post-haze periods in 2019 at a rural site of Northern Thailand.Average PM_(2.5) concentrations during haze and post-haze period were 87±36 and 21±11μg/m^(3),respectively.Organic matter was the dominant contributor in PM_(2.5) mass,followed by water soluble inorganic ions and mineral dust.Molecular markers,including levoglucosan,dehydroabietic acid,and 4-nitrocatechol,and ions(Cl^(-),and K^(+)),were used to characterize low haze(PM_(2.5)<100μg/m^(3))and episodic haze(PM_(2.5)>100μg/m^(3)).Low haze is associated with local aerosols from agricultural waste burning,while episodic haze is linked to aged aerosols from mixed agricultural waste,softwood,and hardwood burning.Source apportionment incorporating these molecular markers in receptor modelling(Positive matrix factorization),identified three distinct biomass burning sources:mixed,local,and aged biomass burnings,contributing 31,19 and 13%of PM_(2.5) during haze period.During post-haze period,contributions shifted,with local biomass burning(32%)comparable to secondary sulfate(34%)and mixed dust and traffic sources(26%).These findings demonstrate that both regional and local sources con-tribute to severe haze,highlighting the need for integrated policies for cross-border cooperation as well as stricter regulations to reduce biomass burning in Northern Thailand and Southeast Asia.

文摘The Southern Advanced Photon Source(SAPS)is a diffraction-limited synchrotron light source under design,which employs longitudinal injection as its primary injection scheme.This kind of injection scheme requires that the injected beam has a short bunch length and low emittance,and the preferred injector should offer high stability and low cost.Therefore,an injector based on a booster synchrotron was developed.The proposed injector includes a 250 MeV linac,a booster synchrotron that ramps the beam energy to 3.5 GeV,and two beam transport lines to ensure efficient beam delivery and beam quality preservation.The linac utilizes a thermionic high-voltage DC gun for reliable operation and features a bunching system with an advanced focusing system to preserve the emittance.To meet the injection requirements of the SAPS,a comprehensive design for the booster has been conducted.The booster synchrotron employs a threefold lattice structure,incorporating modified theoretical minimum emittance cells with a small momentum compaction factor and a high voltage to achieve an emittance of 3.98 nm rad and a bunch length of 4.8 mm.The injector has the potential to deliver a high charge,reducing the injection period of the storage ring to less than 1 min.Simulations demonstrated the expected performance,with a transmission efficiency of 90%,confirming its capability to meet the injection requirement of the SAPS storage ring.This design offers a stable and efficient solution for the SAPS.

文摘Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances(PFAS)have garnered significant global attention due to their widespread presence and potential environmental and health risks.However,research on the occurrence and environmental behavior of PFAS across different media remains limited.We analyzed the occurrence,distribution,sources,and ecological risks of 32 PFAS across multiple media in the Weihe River,China.The concentrations of PFAS ranged from 5.89 to 472.84 ng/L in the pore water and from 9.93 to 459.50 ng/L in surface water,exhibiting significant spatial variability(P<0.05).In contrast,the PFAS concentration range in the sediments was 0.74-1.81 ng/g dry weight,with no pronounced spatial variation in solid-phase PFAS(P>0.05).Vertically,concentrations in 33.00%of pore water samples exceeded those in surface water,showing a heterogeneous vertical distribution with enrichment at depths of 40-60 cm.The physical-chemical characteristics of PFAS and the hydrological and sedimentary processes at the basin scale were responsible for PFAS partitioning between the aquatic environment and sediments.Four major sources were identified through integrated source apportionment:industrial and domestic wastewater(58.25%),aqueous film-forming foam(18.07%),combined input from household pollution and metal plating(8.70%),and stormwater runoff and landfill leachate(14.98%).The ecological risk assessment revealed negligible risks from short-chain PFAS in surface water and pore water,whereas long-chain PFAS posed low to moderate ecological risks.Furthermore,the discharge of PFAS from the Weihe River to the Yellow River was estimated up to 708.20 kg/a.This study provides critical data informing strategies for mitigating PFAS pollution in rivers across typical arid and semi-arid areas of China.

文摘The Mianhuakeng uranium deposit,characterized by uranium-rich granite,serves as a key site for research into crustal radioactive heating.Based on 45 rock samples,this study reviews that the host granite in the Mianhuakeng uranium deposit has a high radioactive heat production rate(avg.5.50μW/m³)and a low Th/U ratio(avg.2.62).Uranium-rich granite and its alteration zone within the upper crust(0-5 km depth)contribute about 45%of the total radioactive heat production,wich is crucial for controlling geothermal resource distribution.For uranium-thermal at tectonic plate margins,a symbiotic geological model was proposed:Firstly,subduction of the Pacific Plate caused upwelling of the asthenosphere,generating a high heat-flow background.Secondly,heat transfer is enhanced by major faults such as the Youdong and Mianhuakeng faults.Subsequently,uranium was mobilized,transported,and enriched within the granite through deep siliceous hydrothermal activity and associated alteration.Ultimately,the uranium enrichment in granite leads to increased radioactive heat production,resulting in local thermal anomalies.This model provides a theoretical support for exploring and developing uranium-thermal symbiotic resources in South China.

文摘Oxidative potential(OP)can be used as an indicator of the health risks of particulate matter in the air.To study the variation and sources of OP,we conducted an observation of PM_(2.5) in a megacity in southern China in winter and spring of 2021.The results show that the average concentration of PM_(2.5) decreased by 47%from winter to spring,while volume-normalized and mass-normalized OP(i.e.,OP_(v) and OP_(m))increased by 6%and 69%,respectively.It suggests that the decline of PM_(2.5) may not necessarily decrease the health risks and the intrinsic toxicity of PM_(2.5).Variations of OP_(v) and OP_(m) among different periods were related to the different source contributions and environmental conditions.The positive matrix factorization model was used to identify the major sources of OP_(v).OP_(v) was mainly contributed by biomass burning/industrial emissions(29%),soil/road dust(20%),secondary sulfate(14%),and coal combustion(13%)in winter.Different major sources were resolved to be secondary sulfate(36%),biological sources(21%),and marine vessels(20%)in spring,presenting the substantial contribution of biological sources.The analysis shows strong associations between OP_(v) and both live and dead bacteria,further confirming the important contribution of bioaerosols to the enhancement of OP.This study highlights the importance of understanding OP in ambient PM_(2.5) in terms of public health impact and provides a new insight into the biological contribution to OP.

文摘Spectrum map construction,which is crucial in cognitive radio(CR)system,visualizes the invisible space of the electromagnetic spectrum for spectrum-resource management and allocation.Traditional reconstruction methods are generally for twodimensional(2D)spectrum map and driven by abundant sampling data.In this paper,we propose a data-model-knowledge-driven reconstruction scheme to construct the three-dimensional(3D)spectrum map under multi-radiation source scenarios.We firstly design a maximum and minimum path loss difference(MMPLD)clustering algorithm to detect the number of radiation sources in a 3D space.Then,we develop a joint location-power estimation method based on the heuristic population evolutionary optimization algorithm.Considering the variation of electromagnetic environment,we self-learn the path loss(PL)model based on the sampling data.Finally,the 3D spectrum is reconstructed according to the self-learned PL model and the extracted knowledge of radiation sources.Simulations show that the proposed 3D spectrum map reconstruction scheme not only has splendid adaptability to the environment,but also achieves high spectrum construction accuracy even when the sampling rate is very low.

文摘Presented in this study is a novel method for estimating the depth of single underwater source in shallow water,utilizing vector sensors.The approach leverages the depth distribution of the broadband Stokes parameters to estimate source depth accurately.Unlike traditional matched field processing(MFP)and matched mode processing(MMP),the proposed approach can estimate source depth directly from the data received by sensors without requiring complete environmental information.Firstly,the broadband Stokes parameters(BSP)are established using the normal mode theory.Then the nonstationary phase approximation is used to simplify the theoretical derivation,which is necessary when dealing with broadband integrals.Additionally,range terms of the BSP are eliminated by normalization.By analyzing the depth distribution of the normalized broadband Stokes parameters(NBSP),it is found that the NBSP exhibit extreme values at the source depth,which can be used for source depth estimation.So the proposed depth estimation method is based on searching the peaks of the NBSP.Simulations show that this method is effective in relatively simple shallow water environments.Finally,the effect of source range,frequency bandwidth,sound speed profile(SSP),water depth,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)are studied.The findings indicate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the source depth when the SNR is greater than-5 d B and does not need to consider model mismatch issues.Additionally,variations in environmental parameters have minimal impact on estimation accuracy.Compared to MFP,the proposed method requires a higher SNR,but demonstrates superior robustness against fluctuations in environmental parameters.
