Based on three-dimensional(3D) numerical simulation results, the local safety factor is defined as the ratio of the shear strength of the soil at an element on the slip zone to the shear stress parallel to the sliding direction at that element.

文摘Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)is widely used for gene expression analysis,but its accuracy critically depends on stable internal reference genes for normalization.In marine invertebrates,especially non-model taxa such as cephalopods,systematic evaluation of reference genes is limited,leading to potential bias.The cuttlefish Sepiella japonica is ecologically and economically important in China,yet previous molecular studies have often relied on single unvalidated reference genes,which may compromise data reliability.This study aimed to systematically evaluate the stability of five commonly used reference genes(18S,ef-1α,ef-1γ,gapdh,andβ-actin)across multiple tissues and sexes of S.japonica,and to identify the most suitable reference genes and optimal number for qPCR normalization.Fifteen to sixteen tissue types were collected from ten healthy adults(five males and five females).Total RNA was extracted,reverse-transcribed,and analyzed by qPCR.Gene stability was assessed using four algorithms(geNorm,NormFinder,BestKeeper,andΔCt)integrated with RefFinder,and the optimal gene number was determined using geNorm pairwise variation(V_(n/n+1)<0.15).Four transcriptome-derived genes(creld2,cd109,acy1,and miox)were used for validation.The C_(t)values of the five genes ranged from 15.47 to 20.83.β-actin and gapdh showed pronounced variability in expression stability among tissues and sexes,indicating their limited suitability for normalization.18S exhibited the highest expression(mean C_(t):15.47-16.29)and lowest variability but displayed sex-biased expression,whereas ef-1αand ef-1γremained consistently stable across most tissues in both sexes,with ef-1αbeing the most robust and showing no sex-related bias.Although specific rankings varied among tissues and sexes,the comprehensive results indicated that ef-1αand ef-1γpossessed the highest overall stability,followed by 18S,whileβ-actin and gapdh were the least stable.The final comprehensive rankings were ef-1γ>ef-1α>18S>gapdh>β-actin(male)and ef-1α>ef-1γ>18S>gapdh>β-actin(female).geNorm analysis(V2/3<0.15)indicated that two genes,mainly ef-1αand ef-1γ,were generally sufficient for reliable normalization in most tissues.Validation confirmed that normalization using the stable ef-1αand ef-1γaccurately reflected the expression differences among tissues,whereasβ-actin and gapdh can bias or confound statistical analyses.ef-1αand ef-1γare identified as the most reliable reference gene combination for qPCR analysis in S.japonica,while 18S can serve as an auxiliary gene for within-sex comparisons.The use ofβ-actin or gapdh alone is not recommended.This study establishes a systematic framework for selecting reliable reference genes in S.japonica,thereby facilitating robust qPCR normalization and providing a foundation for future gene expression research in S.japonica and other cephalopods.

文摘The effect of element Ti on the microstructures and mechanical properties of as-cast and annealed NbTaMoWTi,(x=0,1,1.5,2)refractory high-entropy alloys(RHEAs)was investigated.Results show that after Ti addition,the as-cast alloys maintain their original single body-centered cubic(bcc)structure.As for the mechanical properties,compared with those without Ti addition,the strength and ductility of NbTaMoWTi,alloys increase by 93%and 215%,respectively.Furthermore,the NbTaMoWTi alloys exhibit outstanding thermal stability.After annealing at 1400 C,they still maintain the single bcc structure,and their mechanical properties are even slightly improved.However,annealing leads to a significant deterioration in the mechanical properties of high-Ti-content alloys(NbTaMoWTil and NbTaMoWTi2),owing to the formation of Ti-rich acicular phases.

文摘When the converter bus voltage of a voltage source converter-based high voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC)system drops below a certain predetermined threshold,the system enters low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)mode to avoid overcurrent and potential equipment failure,during which it operates as a controlled current source.The influence mechanism of LVRT control strategies on short-circuit current and overall system stability remains not yet fully and systematically investigated.First,this paper provides an overview of several LVRT strategies for VSC-HVDC systems and examines their effects on short-circuit current contribution.Next,it analyzes in detail the mechanisms through which active and reactive currents injected during LVRT impact system frequency stability,voltage stability,and synchronization stability.To address these interrelated issues,an optimized and comprehensive LVRT strategy incorporating short-circuit current constraints is proposed.The approach determines the active current ratio based on system frequency stability requirements and dynamically adjusts the active current recovery rate via phase control of the VSC-HVDC bus.The remaining capacity is allocated to reactive current support,thereby enhancing voltage and synchronization stability while maintaining sufficient short-circuit current margin and system frequency stability.Finally,simulations conducted on the PSS/E platform,using actual grid data from a selected cross-section system,validate convincingly the effectiveness of the proposed parameter optimization strategy for VSC-HVDC low-voltage ride-through.

文摘SiC/Al-based composite foams were prepared by a two-step foaming method.The influence of the SiC content and its distribution uniformity on the foaming stability,cell structure,and mechanical properties of the aluminum foams was investigated.The macro/micro-features of the aluminum foams were characterized and analyzed.Results demonstrate that an appropriate increase in SiC content and the uniform distribution of SiC can improve the foaming stability,optimize the cell diameter and cell wall thickness,ameliorate the cell distribution,and enhance the hardness and compressive strength of the aluminum foams.However,either insufficient or excessive SiC leads to uneven distribution of SiC particles,which is unfavorable to foaming stability and good cell structure formation.With 6wt%SiC,both the foaming stability and cell structure of the aluminum foam reach the optimal state,resulting in the highest compressive strength and optimal energy absorption capacity.

文摘Aerial surveys are dynamic and continuous processes,and there are different height distributions of the ground in the measurement area,which leads to problems such as overlapping measurement areas and inaccurate altitude correction during the survey process.Commonly used terrain correction methods are based on the concept of finite elementization of ground surface radioactive sources,using GPS coordinates,radar altitude,and ground elevation distribution information from aerial surveys,combined with the sourceless efficiency calibration method to construct a response matrix,which is then inverted for surface nuclide content.However,most of the sourceless efficiency calibration methods used are numerical calculations that consider the body detector as a point detector and do not consider the changes in intrinsic detection efficiency under different incident directions of gamma rays.Therefore,when the altitude of the measurement area varies significantly or the flight altitude of the aerial survey is relatively low,such sourceless efficiency calibration method calculations tend to have a large bias,which affects the accuracy of the terrain correction.To address the above problems,this study employs a novel sourceless efficiency calibration method based on the Boolean operation of the ray deposition process and simplifies the traditional body source measurement model to a surface source measurement model to achieve fast and accurate efficiency calibration.Then,through the discretization of the measurement process,the static measurement process is superposed as equivalent to the dynamic measurement process,and the dynamic measurement response matrix is built and optimized based on the calibration method.Finally,the PSO-MLEM algorithm was used to solve the dynamic measurement response matrix to achieve dynamic terrain correction of aerial survey data.Analysis of the Baiyun'ebo test area revealed that,after applying dynamic terrain correction,the inverted anomalies in uranium(eU),thorium(eTh),and potassium(K)concentrations were closer to ground measurements(within 5.72%-30.79%)and exhibited clearer anomaly boundaries compared to traditional height-based corrections.However,owing to the inherent statistical fluctuations and characteristics of matrix inversion,higher measurement values tend to absorb lower ones,potentially enlarging the anomalous regions.Nevertheless,the highanomaly regions after inversion largely coincided with the ground truth validation,demonstrating that the proposed method can effectively correct airborne gamma spectrometry data.

文摘The transient behavior of DC-link voltage(DCV)significantly affects the low-voltage ride-through for phase-locked loop(PLL)-based grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG)systems.This study investigates the DCV transient behavior of a PLL-based DFIG system under asymmetrical grid faults.First,by considering the coupling characteristics of positive and negative sequence(PNS)components,a nonlinear largesignal model of DCV is developed.Furthermore,the transient characteristics of DCV under varying parameters are analyzed using phase trajectory diagrams.In addition,the transient stability(TS)mechanism of DCV during asymmetrical faults is examined through an en-ergy function approach.The analysis indicates that the transient instability of DCV is primarily associated with the control characteristics of PNS PLLs,while the TS level of DCV is mainly determined by the power coordination control between the rotor side converter and grid side converter.Moreover,a coordinated control strategy is proposed to enhance the TS of DCV under asymmet-rical grid faults.Finally,both simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

文摘Flexibly interconnected distribution networks(FIDN)offer improved operational efficiency and operational control flexibility of power distribution systems through DC interconnection links,and have gradually become the main form of distribution networks.Aiming at the impact of constant power loads and converter transmission power variations in FIDN system stability,this paper presents an impedance reshaping based stability analysis and stabilization control to enhance the stability of the interconnected system and improve the system’s dynamic load response capability.Firstly,a small-single based equivalent impedance model of FIDN system,which consists flexibly interconnected equipment,energy storage,PV units,and constant power loads,is presented,and the total output and input impedance of the DC distribution network are derived.Secondly,the impacts of constant power loads and transmission power variations on the small-signal stability of FIDN system are analyzed through Nyquist stability curves using the impedance ratio criterion.Then,an impedance reshaping-based stability enhancement strategy for the FIDN system is proposed,which can significantly improve the system stability under the operating conditions of constant power loads and transmission power variations.Finally,a MATLAB/Simulink simulation model is built and tested.The results demonstrate that the proposed impedance reshaping strategy effectively mitigates voltage dips,surges,and DC bus fluctuations,shortens transient responses under power variations,and enables rapid stability recovery with reduced voltage drop during severe AC sags.
文摘The increasing integration of electric vehicle(EV)loads into power systems necessitates understanding their impact on stability.Small-magnitude perturbations,if persistent,can cause low-frequency oscillations,leading to synchronism loss and mechanical stress.This work analyzes the effect of voltage-dependent EV loads on this small-signal stability.The study models an EV load within a Single-Machine Infinite Bus(SMIB)system.It specifically evaluates the influence of EV charging through the DC link capacitor of a Unified Power Flow Controller(UPFC),a key device for damping oscillations.The system’s performance is compared to a modified version equipped with both a UPFC and a Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR)controller.Results confirm the significant influence of EV charging on the power network.The analysis demonstrates that the best performance is achieved with the SMIB system utilizing the combined UPFC and LQR controller.This configuration effectively dampens low-frequency oscillations,yielding superior results by reducing the system’s rise time,settling time,and peak overshoot.

文摘Backfill is routinely adopted as a ground support measure for underground mines.However,ground stability enhancement by backfill has received limited research attention.This is likely to be because of the conventional assumption that the fill material exhibits a significantly lower stiffness than the host rocks.Significantly,a recent pioneering work revealed the time-dependent ground stability around a backfilled stope with vertical walls through numerical modeling.In practice,underground stopes typically exhibit a higher or lower degree of inclination.This alters the stress state in peripheral rocks and may induce severe instability and dilution,particularly in stope-hanging walls.Hence,it is imperative to analyze the time-dependent ground stability of inclined backfilled stopes for backfill structure design.Therefore,comprehensive numerical simulations were performed using FLAC3D to address this knowledge deficiency by incorporating a coupled analysis of the backfill consolidation behavior and long-term creep deformation in surrounding rocks.The ground stability was evaluated based on the confinement effectiveness,strength-stress ratio,stress path relative to the yield surface,and time-dependent stress redistribution in the rocks.A parametric study revealed that the inclination angle of the backfilled stope reduced the confinement effectiveness in the host rocks when the wall creep was minor.This exacerbated the rock mass sloughing potential.However,a backfilled stope with a shallower dip angle achieved superior ground stability enhancement when the creep deformation was substantial,by applying a more significant compression on the backfill and effectively mobilizing its passive support performance during consolidation.Additional simulations were conducted to analyze the effects of stope height and width,mine depth,mechanical properties of rocks,backfill compressibility,and filling gap on the time-dependent stress redistribution and stability around the inclined backfilled stope.
