The line commutated converter-based HVDC(LCCHVDC) has become a vital structure for HVDC due to its high technological maturity and economic advantages. During the DC fault of LCC-HVDC, such as commutation failure, the reactive power regulation of the AC grid always lags the DC control process, causing overvoltage in the AC sending grid, which brings off-grid risk to the wind power generation based on power electronic devices. Nevertheless, considering that wind turbine generators have fast and flexible reactive power control capability, optimizing the reactive power control of wind turbines to participate in the transient overvoltage suppression of the sending grid not only improves the operational safety at the equipment level but also enhances the voltage stability of the system. This paper firstly analyses the impact of wind turbine's reactive power on AC transient overvoltage. Then, it proposes an improved voltage-reactive power control strategy, which contains a reactive power control delay compensation and a power command optimization based on the voltage time series prediction. The delay compensation is used to reduce the contribution of the untimely reactive power of wind turbines on transient overvoltage, and the power command optimization enables wind turbines to have the ability to regulate transient overvoltage, leading to the variation of AC voltage, thus suppressing the transient overvoltage. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are verified in a ±800kV/5000MW LCC-HVDC sending grid model based on MATLAB/Simulink.展开更多

These interactions are fundamental to understanding anti-infection immunity of hosts, as well as the pathogenesis of pathogens. For bacterial pathogens interacting with animal hosts, timeresolved dual RNA-seq of infected tissue is difficult to perform due to low pathogen load in infected tissue. In this study, an acute infection model of Larimichthys crocea infected by Pseudomonas plecoglossicida was established. The spleens of infected fish exhibited typical symptoms, with a maximum bacterial load at two days post-injection(dpi). Time-resolved dual RNA-seq of infected spleens was successfully applied to study hostpathogen interactions between L. crocea and P.plecoglossicida. The spleens of infected L. crocea were subjected to dual RNA-seq, and transcriptome data were compared with those of noninfected spleens or in vitro cultured bacteria. Results showed that pathogen-host interactions were highly dynamically regulated, with corresponding fluctuations in host and pathogen transcriptomes during infection. The expression levels of many immunogenes involved in cytokine-cytokine receptor,Toll-like receptor signaling, and other immunerelated pathways were significantly up-regulated during the infection period. Furthermore, metabolic processes and the use of oxygen in L. crocea were strongly affected by P. plecoglossicida infection. The WGCNA results showed that the metabolic process was strongly related to the entire immune process.For P. plecoglossicida, the expression levels of motility-related genes and flagellum assemblyrelated genes were significantly up-regulated. The results of this study may help to elucidate the interactions between L. crocea and P.plecoglossicida.展开更多

This study was conducted in the desertified, moving sand dunes of Horqin Sandy Land, Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. We hyphothesized that (1) seed density (i.e., number/m2) increases as vegetation cover increases, and (2) there will be more surviving seedlings in locations with higher vegetation covers. Total vegetation cover and initial densities of seeds, germinated seeds and surviving seedlings of Ulmus pumilia were evaluated under various vegetation covers in trying to clarify the effects of vegetation cover on the early stages of the plant life history. In agreement with the first hypothesis, initial seed densities were greater (P〈0.05) under higher vegetation covers. The relationship between vegetation cover and initial seed density was represented by a quadratic regression, where a threshold occurred with a vegetation cover of 36% (P〈0.05). The higher total vegetation covers, however, did not result in increased densities of germinated seeds (P〉0.05), which on average represented 16.7% of initial seed densities. Even more, three months after the study initiation, total vegetation covers were similar (P〉0.05) at all positions in the dunes, and they determined a similar number (P〉0.05) of surviving seedlings at those positions (i.e. the second hypothesis had to be rejected). The mean number of seedlings that survived at all positions was only 4.5% of germinated seeds. The number of surviving elm seedlings (0 to 1.7 seedlings/m2) under various vegetations covers (12.2% to 20.8%) at all dune positions by late summer would most likely not contribute to vegetation restoration in the study area.展开更多

Although a great progress has been made to boost activity and selectivity via elaborative catalyst design, the structure–property relationships have not been sufficiently understood in the context of surface reconfiguration under working conditions. Recent efforts devoted to tracking dynamic evolution of electrocatalysts using in-situ and/or operando techniques gave new insights into the real structure and working mechanism of active sites,and provided principles to design better catalysts. The achievement of cathodic electrocatalysts in this subject is herein summarized, focusing on the correlations between reconstructed surface and electrocatalytic performance. Briefly, the thermodynamics of reconstruction at cathodes is discussed at first, and then the representative progresses in H_(2) evolution and CO_(2)/N_(2) reduction are introduced in sequence to acquire insights into electrochemical processes on in-situ reconfigured surfaces or interfaces. Finally, a perspective is offered to guide future investigations. This review is anticipated to shed some new light on in-depth understanding cathodic electrocatalysis and exploiting prominent electrocatalysts.展开更多

In agreement with the first hypothesis, initial seed densities were greater (P〈0.05) under higher vegetation covers. The relationship between vegetation cover and initial seed density was represented by a quadratic regression, where a threshold occurred with a vegetation cover of 36% (P〈0.05). The higher total vegetation covers, however, did not result in increased densities of germinated seeds (P〉0.05), which on average represented 16.7% of initial seed densities. Even more, three months after the study initiation, total vegetation covers were similar (P〉0.05) at all positions in the dunes, and they determined a similar number (P〉0.05) of surviving seedlings at those positions (i.e. the second hypothesis had to be rejected). The mean number of seedlings that survived at all positions was only 4.5% of germinated seeds. The number of surviving elm seedlings (0 to 1.7 seedlings/m2) under various vegetations covers (12.2% to 20.8%) at all dune positions by late summer would most likely not contribute to vegetation restoration in the study area.

文摘Pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH),including gestational hypertension and preeclampsia,accounts for the majority of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.Strontium(Sr)has been recently associated with preeclampsia in a small group of women;however,the role of Sr in PIH is not fully understood and warrants further investigation.In this study,we examined the association between urinary Sr levels and PIH,and assessed the effect of maternal age on the association.Urinary Sr concentrations were measured in 5423 pregnant women before delivery by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS).Logistic regression analysis adjusting for potential confounders was applied to explore the association between Sr and PIH,and to evaluate the Sr-PIH relationship stratified by maternal age.Among the participants,200(3.83%)women were diagnosed with PIH.Compared with non-PIH women,women who developed PIH had lower urinary Sr concentrations(131.26 us.174.98μg/L creatinine,P<0.01).With the natural log-transformed urinary creatinine-standardized Sr concentrations increasing,the risk of PIH decreased significantly[adjusted OR=0.60(95%CI:0.51,0.72)].Furthermore,the significant association of Sr with PIH was found among women under 35 years(P<0.01).Our finding suggested that Sr may play a potential protective role in the pathogenesis of PIH,especially among young pregnant women under 35 years old.

文摘Isothermal compression experiments were conducted to study the hot deformation behaviors of a Sr-modified Al-Si-Mg alloy in the temperature range of 300-420°C and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-1.A physically-based model was developed to accurately predict the flow stress.Meanwhile,processing maps were established to optimize hot working parameters.It is found that decreasing the strain rate or increasing the deformation temperature reduces the flow stress.The high activation energy is closely related to the pinning of dislocations from Si-containing dispersoids.Moreover,the deformed grains and the Si-containing dispersoids in the matrix are elongated perpendicular to the compression direction,and incomplete dynamic recrystallization(DRX)is discovered on the elongated boundaries in domain with peak efficiency.The flow instability is mainly attributed to the flow localization,brittle fracture of eutectic Si phase,and formation of adiabatic shear band.The optimum hot working window is 380-420°C and 0.03-0.28 s-1.

文摘Objective:To study the effects of prolonging small feeding volumes early in life on the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)in very low birth weight(VLBW)preterm infants.Methods:A total of 128 VLBW infants who could not be breastfed were assigned into the experimental group(63 cases)and the control group(65 cases)using a random number table.The experiment group was fed 12 mL/(kg·d)on day 1 which was increased to 24 mL/(kg·d)for the first 10 study days.The control group was fed 12 mL/(kg·d)for the first 14e48 hours.Then,the feeding volume increased by 24-36 mL/(kg·d)up to 140e160 mL/(kg·d)and maintained until the 10th day after birth.The incidence of feeding intolerance and NEC,duration of hospitalization,time to full enteral feedings,incidence of intrahepatic cholestasis,and the levels of gastrin and motilin in serum were assessed.Results:The incidence of feeding intolerance was significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group(15.87% vs.33.84%).There was a significant reduction in the incidence of NEC between the experimental and control groups(7.9% vs.16% in the control group).Conclusion:A protocol that prolongs small feeding volumes early in life can reduce the incidence and severity of NEC,but still warrants further study.

文摘Cathodic electrocatalytic reactions, such as hydrogen evolution and CO_(2)/N_(2) reduction, are the key processes that store intermittent electricity into stable chemical energy. Although a great progress has been made to boost activity and selectivity via elaborative catalyst design, the structure–property relationships have not been sufficiently understood in the context of surface reconfiguration under working conditions. Recent efforts devoted to tracking dynamic evolution of electrocatalysts using in-situ and/or operando techniques gave new insights into the real structure and working mechanism of active sites,and provided principles to design better catalysts. The achievement of cathodic electrocatalysts in this subject is herein summarized, focusing on the correlations between reconstructed surface and electrocatalytic performance. Briefly, the thermodynamics of reconstruction at cathodes is discussed at first, and then the representative progresses in H_(2) evolution and CO_(2)/N_(2) reduction are introduced in sequence to acquire insights into electrochemical processes on in-situ reconfigured surfaces or interfaces. Finally, a perspective is offered to guide future investigations. This review is anticipated to shed some new light on in-depth understanding cathodic electrocatalysis and exploiting prominent electrocatalysts.

文摘Dear editor,This letter presents an automatic data augmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation.To increase the scale and diversity of medical images,we propose a differentiable automatic data augmentation algorithm based on proximal update by finding an optimal augmentation policy.Specifically,on the one hand,a dedicated search space is designed for the medical image segmentation task.On the other hand,we introduce a proximal differentiable gradient descent strategy to update the data augmentation policy,which would increase the searching efficiency.Results of the experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods,and search speed is 10 times faster than state-of-the-art methods.

文摘Some studies have shown that left ventricular structure and function play an important role in the risk stratifi cation and prognosis of cardiovascular disease.The clinical application of left atrial function in cardiovascular disease has gradually attracted attention in the cardiovascular fi eld.There are many traditional methods to evaluate left atrial function.Left atrial function related indexes measured by echocardiography has been identifi ed as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular disease in recent years,but they have some limitations.The left atrial function index has been found to evaluate left atrial function more effectively than traditional parameters.Furthermore,it is a valuable predictor of the risk stratifi cation and prognosis in patients with clinical cardiovascular disease such as heart failure,atrial fi brillation,hypertension,and coronary heart disease.
文摘The catalytic hydrolysis of dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) was investigated over WO_3/SnO_2 solid acid which was prepared by impregnating Sn(OH)_4 with aqueous ammonium metatungstate followed by evaporating, drying and calcining in air. The CFC-12 conversion over WO_3/SnO_2 at 330'C remained above 99.5% during 150 h on stream, however, parent metal oxides showed rare catalytic decomposition activity.
文摘The catalytic hydrolysis of dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) was investigated over solid acid Ti(SO_4)_2. The catalytic activity decreased with the calcination temperature. When space velocity was 6 1 h^(-1) g-cat^(-1). the CPC-12 conversion at 310C over Ti(SO_4)_2 calcined at 350C remained about 98.5% during 360 h on stream. and the selectivity to by-products remained zero. The findings enlarged the scope of traditional catalyst systems for the CFCs decomposition.

文摘The increasing use of power electronic devices can deteriorate the power quality by introducing voltage and current harmonics.In islanded microgrids,the presence of nonlinear loads can distort the point of common coupling(PCC)voltage,while the dead-time effect can also bring additional circulating current harmonics among parallel inverters.To simultaneously attenuate the PCC voltage harmonics and suppress the dead-time induced circulating current harmonics,this paper proposes a coordinated control strategy for harmonic mitigation of parallel inverters.The proposed control strategy allows inverter impedances to be properly reshaped at selective harmonic frequencies.As a consequence,the PCC voltage harmonics are filtered by the inverter operating in the harmonic compensation mode(HCM),whereas the dead-time induced circulating current harmonics are suppressed by the inverter operating in the harmonic rejection mode(HRM).Experimental results from an islanded microgrid prototype with two parallel inverters are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
