FTIR analysis confirms lignin's capacity to scavenge nitroxyl radicals formed during thermolysis of nitrocarbamate and nitrate ester bonds, thereby inhibiting decomposition. Moreover, the incorporation of C-II, 2-NDPA, and lignin significantly raised the peak temperature of the main thermolysis, as confirmed by DSC and TGA, indicating a progressive stability enhancement in the order: NCC/DEGDN < NCC/DEGDN/C-II < NCC/DEGDN/lignin < NCC/DEGDN/2-NDPA. Additionally, the effect of each stabilizer on the decomposition pathway was characterized by TGA-FTIR. The findings show that stabilizer type significantly affects the intensity of gaseous products released during decomposition without altering their nature. Notably, NH2 groups formed during NCC degradation play a key role in nitrogen conversion, particularly by reducing toxic NO emissions.展开更多

This work reports the preparation of mesoporous SiO2nanoparticles with low surface energy, utilized as multifunctional agents to enhance the performance of oil-based drilling fluids aimed at improving wellbore stability. The results indicate that the coating prepared from these nanoparticles exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and antifouling properties, increasing the water contact angle from 32°to 146°and oil contact angle from 24°to134.8°. Additionally, these nanoparticles exhibit exceptional chemical stability and thermal resistance.Incorporating these nanoparticles into oil-based drilling fluids reduced the surface energy of the mud cake from 34.99 to 8.17 m J·m-2and increased the roughness of shale from 0.26 to 2.39 μm. These modifications rendered the mud cake and shale surfaces amphiphobic, effectively mitigating capillary infiltration and delaying the long-term strength degradation of shale in oil-based drilling fluids. After 28days of immersion in oil-based drilling fluid, shale cores treated with MF-SiO2exhibited a 30.5% increase in compressive strength compared to untreated cores. Additionally, these nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to penetrate and seal rock pores, reducing the API filtration volume of the drilling fluid from11.2 to 7.6 m L. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance the development of shale gas and oil resources, offering a promising strategy for wellbore stabilization in oil-based drilling fluid systems.展开更多

Considering the effects of autonomic nervous system activity and mood associated with backpacks in mountaineering and hiking, research is also needed from a psychological perspective. In this study, the effects of adjusting the backpack shoulder stabilizer were preliminarily tested in terms of subjective fatigue and changes in autonomic nervous activity after hiking. Methods: The experimental 15 healthy participants hiked the mountain under two conditions: 1) without adjusting the stabilizer, a feature of the backpack (NAH condition), and 2) with the stabilizer adjusted (AH condition). First, all participants hiked the mountain in the NAH condition, and after a 30-minute break, they began the hike in the AH condition after confirming that a) their heart rate had recovered and b) they were in good physical condition. Results: HR was significantly lower after each hiking session than during the session. RMSSD was significantly lower pre-AH and post-AH than the NAH condition, but there was no significant difference between the NAH condition and either post-NAH or post-AH. Additionally, RMSSD was significantly lower in the AH condition than pre-AH or post-AH. The shoulders and back were significantly more burdened in the NAH condition than in the AH condition. The pleasure level was significantly higher in the AH condition than in the NAH condition. Conclusion: The results showed that also adjusting the position of the waist belt when adjusting the shoulder stabilizer, which is mainly used for the neck and shoulders, has a significant positive effect on the subjective burden on the upper body and parasympathetic nervous system activity after hiking.展开更多

The findings show that stabilizer type significantly affects the intensity of gaseous products released during decomposition without altering their nature. Notably, NH2 groups formed during NCC degradation play a key role in nitrogen conversion, particularly by reducing toxic NO emissions.

文摘This study investigates the use of a low-carbon soil stabilizer called SDG,which is made up of granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS),desulfurization gypsum (DG),and calcium carbide slag (CCS),to solidify the soil.The impact of SDG components on the strength and durability of solidified soil was analysed through a series of tests,including unconfined compressive strength,water stability coefficient,water absorption rate,drying-wetting cycles,and shrinkage tests.Furthermore,microstructure characteristics were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The study shows that the solidified soil has excellent strength and durability when the SDG stabilizer contains 60% GGBGS,10% DG,and 30% CCS.Additionally,increasing the DG content negatively affects the soil's resistance to water.The SDG stabilizer has potential chemical cementitious characteristics and the calcium carbide slag is rich in calcium ions,which undergo an ion exchange reaction with minerals in the soil.These findings offer new ideas for the development of soil stabilizers.
文摘Purpose: There have been many studies on the effects of different types of backpacks on posture from a biomechanical perspective and on the center of gravity. Considering the effects of autonomic nervous system activity and mood associated with backpacks in mountaineering and hiking, research is also needed from a psychological perspective. In this study, the effects of adjusting the backpack shoulder stabilizer were preliminarily tested in terms of subjective fatigue and changes in autonomic nervous activity after hiking. Methods: The experimental 15 healthy participants hiked the mountain under two conditions: 1) without adjusting the stabilizer, a feature of the backpack (NAH condition), and 2) with the stabilizer adjusted (AH condition). First, all participants hiked the mountain in the NAH condition, and after a 30-minute break, they began the hike in the AH condition after confirming that a) their heart rate had recovered and b) they were in good physical condition. Results: HR was significantly lower after each hiking session than during the session. RMSSD was significantly lower pre-AH and post-AH than the NAH condition, but there was no significant difference between the NAH condition and either post-NAH or post-AH. Additionally, RMSSD was significantly lower in the AH condition than pre-AH or post-AH. The shoulders and back were significantly more burdened in the NAH condition than in the AH condition. The pleasure level was significantly higher in the AH condition than in the NAH condition. Conclusion: The results showed that also adjusting the position of the waist belt when adjusting the shoulder stabilizer, which is mainly used for the neck and shoulders, has a significant positive effect on the subjective burden on the upper body and parasympathetic nervous system activity after hiking.

文摘We investigate a class of non-integrable two-particle Calogero-Moser systems modulated by a power-law external potential.The local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem is established under the strict initial separation condition for the particles.For suitably prepared initial configurations,local solutions can be extended globally via energy conservation;conversely,negative energy conditions induce(in)finite-time blowup.The linear(in)stability of stationary solutions is analyzed,with their energy serving as a threshold.Numerical investigations employ a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme with adaptive step-size control.Simulations demonstrate that the trajectories either converge to steady states or exhibit blowup,depending on the power exponent α and initial conditions.Increasingαaccelerates the convergence rate and dampens oscillatory dynamics,promoting a transition from periodic behavior to static equilibrium.

文摘In ecological environments,the survival environment of species is often inhomogeneous,and the reproductive process is affected by time delay.System with nonlocal effects and delay can more accurately simulate changes in population density.In this paper,we consider a reaction-diffusion-advection model with nonlocal delay and Dirichlet boundary conditions.First of all,we investigate the well-posedness of solution of model.Then,the existence of positive steady state is proofed by implicit function theorem.Based on a priori estimate for the eigenvalue,we prove the stability of the positive steady state and conclude the associated distribution of Hopf bifurcation.Our research indicates that the combined effects of nonlocal and time delays have a certain impact on the dynamics of the model.
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As well-known,prescribed-time stabilizing design faces the need of using time-varying high gains which escape to infinity as time approaches the desired instant.In the presence of measurement noise,the corresponding state response is also significantly amplified that leads to the lack of robustness in the closedloop implementation.In order to eliminate this drawback,the implicit Euler discretization of the closed-loop in question is recently developed in where desired robustness properties are conserved beyond the prescribedtime interval while also bounded state dynamics are ensured in the presence of measurement noise.Along this line,stabilizing prescribed-observer-based output feedback algorithms and their digital implementation are reviewed.For tutorial value,the underlying state feedback and observer designs are recalled side by side in continuous-and discrete-time perspectives,followed by the desired output feedback design.Open problems,calling for future investigation,conclude the review.

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Phosphogypsum,an industrial solid waste,is an effective binder for partially replacing cement in stabilizing dredged sediments.Acid rain,as a worldwide ecological problem,also affects the long-term stability and sustainability of geotechnical materials and structures.However,the research on leaching effects and long-term durability of phosphogypsum-stabilized soils under acid rain conditions is limited and remains a significant challenge for practical applications.This study investigates the leaching effects and long-term durability of phosphogypsum-stabilized soils by simulating acid rain erosion through semi-dynamic leaching tests.Key parameters,including leached Ca^(2+)concentration,leachate pH,and unconfined compressive strength after leaching,were evaluated.Microscopic analyses with X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)were also conducted to explore the underlying mechanisms.The results indicate that the presence of phosphogypsum in stabilized soil with high water content shows a significant improvement in leaching resistance subjected to acid ions,evidencing a lower Ca^(2+)concentration and pH value in the leachate,and a higher strength after leaching compared to those samples without phosphogypsum.SEM images and XRD analysis revealed that samples with higher phosphogypsum content possess denser structures due to more needle-shaped ettringite and other minerals in the soil matrix,contributing to improved strength and leaching resistance.The enhanced strength and leaching resistance of phosphogypsum-stabilized soil can be attributed to additional gel formation,a rise in swelling potential,ettringite bridging,and a denser microstructure,which reduces Ca^(2+)availability for leaching in acidic environments.

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.

文摘To enhance the stabilization performance of red-bedded mudstone subgrade soil,a novel synergistic technique combining microorganisms and quicklime was developed and evaluated through comprehensive physical,mechanical,and microstructural analyses.The results demonstrated that quicklime significantly improved the pore structure by increasing the proportion of pores with diameters in the range of 0.5-50μm,thereby facilitating microbial migration and calcium carbonate precipitation.The proposed technique effectively enhanced cementitious material production(cementation rate:6.83%),unconfined compressive strength(1.63 MPa),and resistance to swelling and deformation(swelling rate:0.26%).The observed synergistic effect can be attributed to two primary mechanisms.First,quicklime promotes soil particle agglomeration,resulting in larger pores that enable bacterial mobility and provide optimal microenvironments for microbial activity.Second,during curing,quicklime undergoes hydration and ionization,releasing Ca^(2+)and OH^(−)ions.The Ca^(2+)ions serve as calcium sources for microbial-induced carbonate precipitation,while the OH−ions react with SiO_(2)and Al_(2)O_(3) to form hydrated gels that develop a skeletal soil structure.Meanwhile,the exothermic reaction further accelerates calcium carbonate deposition within the agglomerated pores.
