However, it is precisely during the stages of processing and utilization that data undergoes its transformations and where its economic value is ultimately created. A series of recent policy documents on treating data as a factor of production have emphasized that the building of a scientific data property rights system requires a fair and efficient mechanism for benefit distribution, which provides reasonable preference for creators of data value and use value in terms of the income generated by data elements. Constrained by the inertial thinking of property right logic, the data utilization right is often regarded as a “transitional fulcrum” wherein the holders of data resources have to authorize the operators of data products to realize data value thereby. In the future structural design and implementation of the coordination mechanism for the property right system against the backdrop of the data factor-oriented reform, the establishment of data processing and utilization as an independent right will require the implementation of two core initiatives: first, attaching importance to the independent protection of the benefit distribution;second, implementing risk regulation for data security through optimization of governance. These two initiatives will serve as the key for optimizing the data factor governance system and accelerating the release of data value.展开更多

Vacuum sintering of lunar regolith for in-situ resource utilization(ISRU) is considered one of the most feasible strategies for early lunar infrastructure development. However, the extreme temperature fluctuations on the lunar surface pose potential threats to the structural stability of sintered regolith materials. To investigate the mechanical deterioration and damage mechanism of vacuum-sintered lunar regolith under extreme cryogenic-thermal cycling, lunar regolith simulants are used to fabricate specimens through vacuum sintering. A series of cryogenic-thermal cycling tests is designed, combined with uniaxial compression and X-ray CT scanning, to systematically analyze their macro-micro responses. The results show that with increasing extreme cryogenic-thermal cycles, the stress-strain curves evolve from typical brittle failure to quasiductile behavior, with uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus decreasing by approximately 33.86% and 61.98%, respectively. CT analyses reveal that the pore structure transforms from isolated pores to connected networks, with the pore volume fraction increasing from 13.33% to 22.64%, and the fractal dimension increases from 2.465 to 2.544, and stabilizes after multiple cycles. A significant negative correlation(R^(2)> 0.96) exists between pore structural complexity and mechanical performance. Based on these findings, a thermal fatigue damage mechanism dominated by thermal stress concentration due to mismatched thermal expansion coefficients among mineral phases is proposed. This study provides scientific insights for the design, durability evaluation, and ISRU-based construction of lunar surface infrastructure.展开更多

Here, we report an interesting finding: using a real Martian meteorite(NWA13190) and within Mars' temperature range(25℃), we confirmed spontaneous hydrogen generation from the reaction of water, CO_(2), and Martian rock—no external energy or catalysts required. The reaction produced hydrogen at ~4 ppm/day, stabilizing after 9 days, alongside newly formed carbonate and sulfate minerals absent in the original meteorite. Mechanistic analyses using XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), M??ssbauer spectroscopy, and FTIR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) revealed that Fe^(2+) in Fe TiO_(3) and FeS_(2)(not pyroxene) oxidized to Fe^(3+), driving water reduction to hydrogen. The buffer effect of CO_(2) sustained acidic conditions, enhancing Fe^(2+) release and H_(2) production. These results align with in situ Mars detections(e.g., Ca-sulfate veins by Curiosity). Compared with energy-intensive electrolysis-based ISRU, this geological process offers a more efficient H_(2) production pathway. It also provides theoretical support for natural hydrogen reservoirs on Mars and simultaneously advances understanding of Mars' early atmospheric evolution and potential life-supporting environments.展开更多

文摘Saikosaponins are the major pharmacologically active components in Bupleurum genus and exhibit significant application potential in multiple fields such as immune regulation and anti-tumor activity.To elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of saikosaponins,we identified two cytochrome P450 monooxygenases,CYP716A41 and CYP716Y4,in Bupleurum chinense.These enzymes catalyze the C-28 oxidation and C-16 hydroxylation of oleanane-type triterpene skeletons,respectively.The catalytic efficiency of CYP716A41 from a southern B.chinense variety was significantly higher than that from a northern variety.Molecular docking and mutagenesis experiments revealed that amino acid residues at sites 9 and 35 may contribute to this difference in catalytic efficiency.Additionally,under cold stress,the expression levels of both CYP450 genes and the saikosaponin contents in the leaves of southern varieties were significantly higher compared to those in northern varieties.The variation in the catalytic efficiency of CYP716A41 and the differential expression of the two CYP450 genes under cold stress during winter are associated with the differences in saikosaponin biosynthesis in the leaves of southern and northern B.chinense varieties.This is consistent with the distinct medicinal usage practices observed between southern and northern China.

文摘Among the “three data rights,” the data utilization right has been persistently overlooked, and is similar to a neglected “middle child” in the context of the data rights family. However, it is precisely during the stages of processing and utilization that data undergoes its transformations and where its economic value is ultimately created. A series of recent policy documents on treating data as a factor of production have emphasized that the building of a scientific data property rights system requires a fair and efficient mechanism for benefit distribution, which provides reasonable preference for creators of data value and use value in terms of the income generated by data elements. Constrained by the inertial thinking of property right logic, the data utilization right is often regarded as a “transitional fulcrum” wherein the holders of data resources have to authorize the operators of data products to realize data value thereby. In the future structural design and implementation of the coordination mechanism for the property right system against the backdrop of the data factor-oriented reform, the establishment of data processing and utilization as an independent right will require the implementation of two core initiatives: first, attaching importance to the independent protection of the benefit distribution;second, implementing risk regulation for data security through optimization of governance. These two initiatives will serve as the key for optimizing the data factor governance system and accelerating the release of data value.

文摘Rare earth(RE)Y-type zeolite was synthesized in situ by acidic co-hydrolysis route and hydrothermal method.The key process parameters were optimized based on the RE utilization rate.The effect of inducing a rotating packed bed(RPB)in premixing and crystallization on crystallinity and RE utilization rate was further investigated.The results indicate that lanthanide(La)cations are successfully introduced into the sodalite cage of Y-type zeolite.The optimized conditions are that the molar ratio of Si/La is 150,premixing for 5 h,crystallization at 90℃ for 18 h,and calcination at 550℃ for 3.5 h.At this stage,the RE utilization rate reaches 74.5%.Compared with the conventional stirred tank reactor(STR),RPB can effectively shorten the premixing time and crystallization time by 4.3 h and 6 h,improve the crystallinity by 23%and RE utilization rate by 7.5%.The RE utilization rate is more than 80%by RPB,surpassing the effectiveness of using the one-exchange one-calcination process in the traditional liquid ion exchange process.It is expected to provide a reference for the in-situ efficient and green synthesis of RE zeolite.

文摘Targeting Chang'E-8 mission'in-situ resource utilization(ISRU)for sustainable lunar habitats,laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)provides a viable pathway for in-situ additive manufacturing of lunar regolith.To elucidate mission relevant mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of LPBF fabricated lunar regolith simulants,mare type and highland type simulant specimens were produced.Microstructural characterization,mechanical test coupled with three-dimensional digital image correlation(3D-DIC),and an energy-dissipation framework were employed for comprehensive analysis.The pristine highland specimens achieved 5.79 MPa and a peak strain of 0.13(50 mm×50 mm×30 mm),significantly outperforming their mare counterparts.Wire-cutting to 20 mm×20 mm×20 mm lowered strength by~20%and peak strain to 0.04,indicating cutting-induced defects reduce ductility.All specimens displayed multipeaked stress–strain curves.3D-DIC revealed band-type strain localization in pristine highland samples,diffuse strain patterns in cut highland samples,and highly tortuous,network-type bands in mare samples;the anisotropy index was also quantified.Fragmented particles exhibited fractal dimensions ranging from 1.6 to 2.0(size 1.25–9 mm).Energy evolution progressed through three distinct stages:elastic energy storage,progressive energy dissipation delaying crack propagation,and final unstable collapse.An energy-based damage model was established and validated.The data and methods developed support Chang'E-8 missions'ISRU demonstrations and establish a transferable framework toward sustainable lunar habitats.

文摘The construction of lunar bases represents a crucial goal for long-term human residence on the Moon and future deep-space exploration. Vacuum sintering of lunar regolith for in-situ resource utilization(ISRU) is considered one of the most feasible strategies for early lunar infrastructure development. However, the extreme temperature fluctuations on the lunar surface pose potential threats to the structural stability of sintered regolith materials. To investigate the mechanical deterioration and damage mechanism of vacuum-sintered lunar regolith under extreme cryogenic-thermal cycling, lunar regolith simulants are used to fabricate specimens through vacuum sintering. A series of cryogenic-thermal cycling tests is designed, combined with uniaxial compression and X-ray CT scanning, to systematically analyze their macro-micro responses. The results show that with increasing extreme cryogenic-thermal cycles, the stress-strain curves evolve from typical brittle failure to quasiductile behavior, with uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus decreasing by approximately 33.86% and 61.98%, respectively. CT analyses reveal that the pore structure transforms from isolated pores to connected networks, with the pore volume fraction increasing from 13.33% to 22.64%, and the fractal dimension increases from 2.465 to 2.544, and stabilizes after multiple cycles. A significant negative correlation(R^(2)> 0.96) exists between pore structural complexity and mechanical performance. Based on these findings, a thermal fatigue damage mechanism dominated by thermal stress concentration due to mismatched thermal expansion coefficients among mineral phases is proposed. This study provides scientific insights for the design, durability evaluation, and ISRU-based construction of lunar surface infrastructure.

文摘Carbon dioxide(CO_(2))is the main greenhouse gas(GHG)released by human activities.The substitution of fossil resources by biomass as a bio-renewable resource,has significant potential to reduce GHG emissions.The approach to biomass,as the only true full-scale alternative to fossil resources,is progressing rapidly.Converting biomass into furanic compounds,as versatile platform chemicals for synthesizing a wide range of bio-based products is the cornerstone of sustainable technologies.The extensive body of this review combines the biomass valorization to furanic compounds by CO_(2)utilization and furanic compounds conversion by CO_(2)fixation.These processes can be strategically applied through both‘thermochemical’and‘electrochemical’pathways,by utilizing CO_(2)from the atmosphere or industrial emission point and returning it to the natural carbon cycle.In the thermochemical pathway CO_(2)acts as a carbon source(carboxylation and polymerization)or active reaction assistant in the biomass conversion(CO_(2)-assisted conversion),without altering its oxidation state,facilitating the synthesis of valuable products and polymers.Conversely,in the electrochemical pathway,CO_(2)can be used as a carbon source(electrocarboxylation)to give the corresponding carboxylic acid,or it can undergo reduction,yielding methanol,carbon monoxide(CO),formic acid,and analogous compounds,while on the other side,furanic compounds undergo oxidation yielding high-value-added chemicals.Finally,potential future research directions are suggested to promote CO_(2)utilization and fixation in the valorization of biomass-derived furanic compounds,and challenges facing further research are highlighted.

文摘Understanding the interaction of Martian rocks and the environment is conducive to Mars in situ resource utilization(ISRU) and the search for natural H_(2) reservoirs. Here, we report an interesting finding: using a real Martian meteorite(NWA13190) and within Mars' temperature range(25℃), we confirmed spontaneous hydrogen generation from the reaction of water, CO_(2), and Martian rock—no external energy or catalysts required. The reaction produced hydrogen at ~4 ppm/day, stabilizing after 9 days, alongside newly formed carbonate and sulfate minerals absent in the original meteorite. Mechanistic analyses using XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), M??ssbauer spectroscopy, and FTIR(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) revealed that Fe^(2+) in Fe TiO_(3) and FeS_(2)(not pyroxene) oxidized to Fe^(3+), driving water reduction to hydrogen. The buffer effect of CO_(2) sustained acidic conditions, enhancing Fe^(2+) release and H_(2) production. These results align with in situ Mars detections(e.g., Ca-sulfate veins by Curiosity). Compared with energy-intensive electrolysis-based ISRU, this geological process offers a more efficient H_(2) production pathway. It also provides theoretical support for natural hydrogen reservoirs on Mars and simultaneously advances understanding of Mars' early atmospheric evolution and potential life-supporting environments.

文摘Background There is a growing focus on using various plant-derived agricultural by-products to increase the benefits of pig farming,but these feedstuffs are fibrous in nature.This study investigated the relationship between dietary fiber physicochemical properties and feedstuff fermentation characteristics and their effects on nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,and gut microbiota in growing pigs.Methods Thirty-six growing barrows(47.2±1.5 kg)were randomly allotted to 6 dietary treatments with 2 apparent viscosity levels and 3β-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios.In the experiment,nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,fecal microbial community,and production and absorption of short-chain fatty acid(SCFA)of pigs were investigated.In vitro digestion and fermentation models were used to compare the fermentation characteristics of feedstuffs and ileal digesta in the pig’s hindgut.Results The production dynamics of SCFA and dry matter corrected gas production of different feedstuffs during in vitro fermentation were different and closely related to the physical properties and chemical structure of the fiber.In animal experiments,increasing the dietary apparent viscosity and theβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased the apparent ileal digestibility(AID),apparent total tract digestibility(ATTD),and hindgut digestibility of fiber components while decreasing the AID and ATTD of dry matter and organic matter(P<0.05).In addition,increasing dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased gas exchange,heat production,and protein oxidation,and decreased energy deposition(P<0.05).The dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucanto-arabinoxylan ratios had linear interaction effects on the digestible energy,metabolizable energy,retained energy(RE),and net energy(NE)of the diets(P<0.05).At the same time,the increase of dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios both increased SCFA production and absorption(P<0.05).Increasing the dietary apparent viscosity andβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios increased the diversity and abundance of bacteria(P<0.05)and the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria.Furthermore,increasing the dietaryβ-glucan-to-arabinoxylan ratios led to a linear increase in SCFA production during the in vitro fermentation of ileal digesta(P<0.001).Finally,the prediction equations for RE and NE were established.Conclusion Dietary fiber physicochemical properties alter dietary fermentation patterns and regulate nutrient utilization,energy metabolism,and pig gut microbiota composition and metabolites.
