文摘Owing to their rolling friction,two-dimensional piston pumps are highly suitable as power components for electro-hydrostatic actuators(EHAs).These pumps are particularly advantageous for applications requiring high efficiency and reliability.However,the ambiguity surrounding the output flow characteristics of individual two-dimensional pumps poses a significant challenge in achieving precise closed-loop control of the EHA positions.To address this issue,this study established a comprehensive numerical model that included gap leakage to analyze the impact of leakage on the output flow characteristics of a two-dimensional piston pump.The validity of the numerical analysis was indirectly confirmed through meticulous measurements of the leakage and volumetric efficiency,ensuring robust results.The research findings indicated that,at lower pump speeds,leakage significantly affected the output flow rate,leading to potential inefficiencies in the system.Conversely,at higher rotational speeds,the impact of leakage was less pronounced,implying that the influence of leakage on the pump outlet flow must be carefully considered and managed for EHAs to perform position servo control.Additionally,the research demonstrates that two-dimensional motion does not have a unique or additional effect on pump leakage,thus simplifying the design considerations.Finally,the study concluded that maintaining an oil-filled leakage environment is beneficial because it helps reduce the impact of leakage and enhances the overall volumetric efficiency of the pump system.

文摘Environmental catalysis has been considered one of the important research topics.Some technologies(e.g.,photocatalysis and electrocatalysis)have been intensively developed with the advance of synthetic technologies of catalytical materials.In 2019,we discussed the development trend of this field,and wrote a roadmap on this topic in Chinese Chemical Letters(30(2019)2065-2088).Nowadays,we discuss it again from a new viewpoint along this road.In this paper,several subtopics are discussed,e.g.,photocatalysis based on titanium dioxide,violet phosphorus,graphitic carbon and covalent organic frameworks,electrocatalysts based on carbon,metal-and covalent-organic framework.Finally,we hope that this roadmap can enrich the development of two-dimensional materials in environmental catalysis with novel understanding,and give useful inspiration to explore new catalysts for practical applications.

文摘It is a key challenge to prepare two-dimensional diamond(2D-diamond).Herein,we develop a method for synthesizing 2D-diamond by depositing monodisperse tantalum(Ta)atoms onto graphene substrates using a hot-filament chemical vapor deposition setup,followed by annealing treatment under different temperatures at ambient pressure.The results indicate that when the annealing temperature increases from 700℃ to 1000℃,the size of the 2D-diamond found in the samples gradually increases from close to 20 nm to around 30 nm.Meanwhile,the size and number of amorphous carbon spheres and Ta-containing compounds between the graphene layers gradually increase.As the annealing temperature continues to rise to 1100℃,a significant aggregation of Ta-containing compounds is observed in the samples,with no diamond structure detected.This further confirms that monodisperse Ta atoms play a key role in graphene phase transition into 2D-diamond.This study provides a novel method for the ambient-pressure phase transition of graphene into 2D-diamond.

文摘Parental educational anxiety has become a social symptom in China,and rural primary school students’mothers exhibit unique educational anxieties due to their special living environment.Based on interviews with 10 rural primary school students’mothers,five typical educational anxiety experiences were selected for analysis,and themes such as rural life burden,children’s learning habits,mothers’educational expectations,mothers’educational methods,mothers’emotional state,deviation between reality and expectations,homework guidance ability,mothers’educational level,and attitudes towards children’s future development were refined.The root causes of educational anxiety among rural primary school students’mothers include the deviation between children’s actual performance and mothers’educational expectations,the sense of disparity under social comparison,physical and mental exhaustion caused by role overload,anxiety triggered by excessive economic burden,and a sense of powerlessness towards children’s educational outcomes.To alleviate the educational anxiety of rural primary school students’mothers,mothers should actively adjust themselves,fathers should actively participate in their children’s education,society should create a healthy atmosphere,and schools should strengthen family education guidance.

文摘Electron-hole interactions play a crucial role in determining the optoelectronic properties of materials,and in lowdimensional systems this is especially true due to the decrease of screening.In this review,we focus on one unique quantum phase induced by the electron-hole interaction in two-dimensional systems,known as“exciton insulators”(EIs).Although this phase of matter has been studied for more than half a century,suitable platforms for its stable realization remain scarce.We provide an overview of the strategies to realize EIs in accessible materials and structures,along with a discussion on some unique properties of EIs stemming from the band structures of these materials.Additionally,signatures in experiments to distinguish EIs are discussed.

文摘Ecological network(EN)identification and optimization is an essential research tool for safeguarding regional ecological security patterns and planning territorial space.Especially for the ecologically fragile inland river basins,EN optimization is of significance in ensuring regional ecological security and virtuous cycle of ecosystems.In addition,EN is a dynamically changing structural system that is more applicable to the regional development by optimizing it from comprehensive future development perspective.EN of Shiyang River basin was constructed on account of the circuit theory,and land use/cover changes(LUCC)of the basin in 2035 was predicted by PLUS model,so as to explore the ecological conservation priorities and formulate optimization strategies.54 ecological sources(ESs)were identified,covering an area of 12,198 km^(2),mainly in the southern basin.133 ecological corridors(ECs)with an area of 3,176.92 km^(2)were extracted.38 ecological pinchpoints(EPs)and 22 ecological barriers(EBs)were identified respectively,which were mainly distributed in the lower basin.To effectively enhance the connectivity of EN in Minqin County,which has the worst ecological environment,we added five stepping stones based on the Ant Forest project.In addition,the optimal EPS is selected according to the development and limitation needs of inland river basins and the threat degree of warning points(WPs)under different scenarios.Scientific and reasonable optimization of future urban layout to prevent WPs can effectively alleviate the contradiction between ecological protection and economic development.The study is intended to provide basis for ecological sustainable development and rational planning territorial space in Shiyang River basin,as well as opinion for EN optimization in inland river basin.

文摘The natural visibility graph method has been widely used in physiological signal analysis,but it fails to accurately handle signals with data points below the baseline.Such signals are common across various physiological measurements,including electroencephalograph(EEG)and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI),and are crucial for insights into physiological phenomena.This study introduces a novel method,the baseline perspective visibility graph(BPVG),which can analyze time series by accurately capturing connectivity across data points both above and below the baseline.We present the BPVG construction process and validate its performance using simulated signals.Results demonstrate that BPVG accurately translates periodic,random,and fractal signals into regular,random,and scale-free networks respectively,exhibiting diverse degree distribution traits.Furthermore,we apply BPVG to classify Alzheimer’s disease(AD)patients from healthy controls using EEG data and identify non-demented adults at varying dementia risk using resting-state fMRI(rs-fMRI)data.Utilizing degree distribution entropy derived from BPVG networks,our results exceed the best accuracy benchmark(77.01%)in EEG analysis,especially at channels F4(78.46%)and O1(81.54%).Additionally,our rs-fMRI analysis achieves a statistically significant classification accuracy of 76.74%.These findings highlight the effectiveness of BPVG in distinguishing various time series types and its practical utility in EEG and rs-fMRI analysis for early AD detection and dementia risk assessment.In conclusion,BPVG’s validation across both simulated and real data confirms its capability to capture comprehensive information from time series,irrespective of baseline constraints,providing a novel method for studying neural physiological signals.
