ARTICLE Research on the Leading Value Drive of Rural Homestead Transfer under Rural Revitalization--Based on the Evidences of China

With the development of urban-rural integration in China,the functional value of homestead bases has evolved from a single residential security value to a multiple composite values,and the property income of homestead bases has gradually become the value driver of transfer and the intrinsic demand of farm households.This paper takes Baitafan of Jinzhai County,Chongqing City,and Xiaofang Yu Village of Ji County as examples for in-depth discussion,and finds that the dominant value drivers of home base transfer mainly include three kinds:capitalization income,commercialization income,and non-farm employment income.The study concludes that it is important to give full play to the resource endowment effect and identify the dominant value of home base transfer according to local conditions to promote the standardized home base transfer and implement the rural revitalization strategy.

Carbon isotope fractionation during methane transport through tight sedimentary rocks:Phenomena,mechanisms,characterization,and implications

The phenomenon of carbon isotopic fractionation,induced by the transport of methane in tight sedimentary rocks through processes primarily involving diffusion and adsorption/desorption,is ubiquitous in nature and plays a significant role in numerous geological and geochemical systems.Consequently,understanding the mechanisms of transport-induced carbon isotopic fractionation both theoretically and experimentally is of considerable scientific importance.However,previous experimental studies have observed carbon isotope fractionation phenomena that are entirely distinct,and even exhibit opposing characteristics.At present,there is a lack of a convincing mechanistic explanation and valid numerical model for this discrepancy.Here,we performed gas transport experiments under different gas pressures(1–5 MPa)and confining pressures(10–20 MPa).The results show that methane carbon isotope fractionation during natural gas transport through shale is controlled by its pore structure and evolves regularly with increasing effective stress.Compared with the carbon isotopic composition of the source gas,the initial effluent methane is predominantly depleted in^(13)C,but occasionally exhibits^(13)C enrichment.The carbon isotopic composition of effluent methane converges to that of the source gas as mass transport reaches a steady state.The evolution patterns of the isotope fractionation curve,transitioning from the initial non-steady state to the final steady state,can be categorized into five distinct types.The combined effect of multi-level transport channels offers the most compelling mechanistic explanation for the observed evolution patterns and their interconversion.Numerical simulation studies demonstrate that existing models,including the Rayleigh model,the diffusion model,and the coupled diffusion-adsorption/desorption model,are unable to describe the observed complex isotope fractionation behavior.In contrast,the multi-scale multi-mechanism coupled model developed herein,incorporating diffusion and adsorption/desorption across multi-level transport channels,effectively reproduces all the observed fractionation patterns and supports the mechanistic rationale for the combined effect.Finally,the potential carbon isotopic fractionation resulting from natural gas transport in/through porous media and its geological implications are discussed in several hypothetical scenarios combining numerical simulations.These findings highlight the limitations of carbon isotopic parameters for determining the origin and maturity of natural gas,and underscore their potential in identifying greenhouse gas leaks and tracing sources.

Boron nitride microribbons strengthened and toughened alumina composite ceramics with excellent mechanical,dielectric,and thermal conductivity properties

Aluminum oxide(Al_(2)O_(3))ceramics have been widely utilized as circuit substrates owing to their exceptional performance.In this study,boron nitride microribbon(BNMR)/Al_(2)O_(3)composite ceramics are prepared using spark plasma sintering(SPS).This study examines the effect of varying the amount of toughened phase BNMR on the density,mechanical properties,dielectric constant,and thermal conductivity of BNMR/Al_(2)O_(3)composite ceramics while also exploring the mechanisms behind the toughening and increased thermal conductivity of the fabricated ceramics.The results showed that for a BNMR content of 5 wt%,BNMR/Al_(2)O_(3)composite ceramics displayed more enhanced characteristics than pure Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics.In particular,the relative density,hardness,fracture toughness,and bending strength were 99.95%±0.025%,34.11±1.5 GPa,5.42±0.21 MPa·m^(1/2),and 375±2.5 MPa,respectively.These values represent increases of 0.76%,70%,35%,and 25%,respectively,compared with the corresponding values for pure Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics.Furthermore,during the SPS process,BNMRs are subjected to high temperatures and pressures,resulting in the bending and deformation of the Al_(2)O_(3)matrix;this leads to the formation of special thermal pathways within it.The dielectric constant of the composite ceramics decreased by 25.6%,whereas the thermal conductivity increased by 45.6%compared with that of the pure Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics.The results of this study provide valuable insights into ways of enhancing the performance of Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic substrates by incorporating novel BNMRs as a second phase.These improvements are significant for potential applications in circuit substrates and related fields that require high-performance materials with improved mechanical properties and thermal conductivities.

Quantitative evaluation of adsorbed and free water in deep shales:a case study on the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations from the Luzhou area,southern Sichuan Basin,China

Deep shale gas reservoirs commonly contain connate water, which affects the enrichment and migration of shale gas and has attracted the attention of many scholars. It is significant to quantitatively estimate the amounts of adsorbed and free water in shale matrix pores, considering the different impacts of pore water (adsorbed water and free water) on shale gas. In this paper, pore water in six deep shale samples from the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formations in the Luzhou area, southern Sichuan Basin, China, was quantitatively evaluated by saturation-centrifugation experiments. Further, the impact of shale material composition and microstructure on the pore water occurrence was analyzed. The results show that amounts of adsorbed and free water are respectively 1.7967–9.8218 mg/g (mean 6.4501 mg/g) and 9.5511–19.802 mg/g (mean 13.9541 mg/g) under the experimental conditions (30℃, distilled water). The ratio of adsorbed water to total water is 15.83%–42.61% (mean 30.45%). The amounts of adsorbed and free water are related to the pore microstructure and material compositions of shale. The specific surface area of shale controls the amount of adsorbed water, and the pore volume controls the amount of free water;organic pores developed in shale solid asphalt contribute specific surface area and pore volume, and inorganic pores developed in clay mineral contribute pore volume. Therefore, the pores of shale solid asphalt accumulate the adsorbed water and free water, and the pores of clay minerals mainly accumulate the free water.

Scale-Dependent Nature of Porosity and Pore Size Distribution in Lacustrine Shales: An Investigation by BIB-SEM and X-Ray CT Methods

Due to heterogeneous pore distributions within shales,petrophysical properties of shales determined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray computed tomography(CT) methods strongly depend on the observed domain size(analysis scale). In this paper,the influence of the analysis scale on areal and bulk porosities and pore size distribution(PSD) for lacustrine shales from the Dongying sag of Bohai Bay Basin,China were investigated using broad ion beam(BIB)-SEM and X-ray CT methods.The BIB-SEM cross-sections with high imaging resolution(10 nm/pixel) and a large field of view(>1 mm2)mainly describe the 2 D nanoscale pore system in the two shales(samples F41#-2 and Y556#-1),while CTbased 3 D reconstructions with resolutions of 0.42(F41#-1) and 0.5 μm/pixel(H172#-1) reflect the 3 D submicron pore system. The results indicate that the areal(bulk) porosity exhibits a multiple power-law distribution with increasing analysis area(volume),which can be used to extrapolate the porosity of a given area(volume). Based on SEM and CT investigations,the sizes of the minimum representative elementary areas(REAs) and volumes(REVs) were determined respectively,which are closely associated with the heterogeneousness of the pore system. Minimum REAs are proposed to be 2.93×10~4(F41#-2) and 0.91×10~4μm2(Y556#-1),and minimum REVs are 0.016(F41#-1) and 0.027 mm^3(H172#-1). As the analyzed areas(volumes) are larger than the minimum REA(REV),obtained 2 D(3 D) PSDs are comparable to each other and can be considered to reflect the shale PSD. These results provide insights into the porosity and PSD characterization of shales by SEM and X-ray CT methods.

Carbon isotope fractionation during shale gas transport: Mechanism, characterization and significance

The gas in-place(GIP)content and the ratio of adsorbed/free gas are two key parameters for the assessment of shale gas resources and have thus received extensive attention.A variety of methods have been proposed to solve these issues,however none have gained widespread acceptance.Carbon isotope fractionation during the methane transport process provides abundant information,serving as an effective method for differentiating the gas transport processes of adsorbed gas and free gas and ultimately evaluating the two key parameters.In this study,four stages of methane carbon isotope fractionation were documented during a laboratory experiment that simulated gas transport through shale.The four stages reflect different transport processes:the free gas seepage stage(Ⅰ),transition stage(Ⅱ),adsorbed gas desorption stage(Ⅲ)and concentration diffusion stage(Ⅳ).Combined with the results of decoupling experiments,the isotope fractionation characteristics donated by the single effect(seepage,adsorption-desorption and diffusion)were clearly revealed.We further propose a technique integrating the Amoco curve fit(ACF)method and carbon isotope fractionation(CIF)to determine the dynamic change in adsorbed and free gas ratios during gas production.We find that the gases produced in stage Ⅰ are primarily composed of free gas and that carbon isotope ratios of methane(δ13C1)are stable and equal to the ratios of source gas(13C 10).In stage Ⅱ,the contribution of free gas decreases,while the proportion of adsorbed gas increases,and the δ13C1 gradually becomes lighter.With the depletion of free gas,the adsorbed gas contribution in stage Ⅲ reaches 100%,and the δ13C1 becomes heavier.Finally,in stage Ⅳ,the desorbed gas remaining in the pore spaces diffuses out under the concentration difference,and the δ13C1 becomes lighter again and finally stabilizes.In addition,a kinetic model for the quantitative description of isotope fractionation during desorption and diffusion was established.
