氯化1-羧甲基-3-甲基咪唑对PLA/POE-g-GMA共混物结构演化与性能的影响

通过熔融共混法制备了聚乳酸、甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯接枝乙烯-辛烯共聚物与氯化1-羧甲基-3-甲基咪唑离子液体的共混物(PLA/POE-g-GMA/ILs),并使用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、热重分析仪(TG)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、电子万能试验机等研究了ILs对PLA/POE-g-GMA共混体系结构演化与性能的影响。TG结果及SEM图像表明ILs的引入可以明显改变PLA与POE-g-GMA的相互作用,当ILs添加量较低时,PLA共混体系出现明显的相分离,但当ILs添加量提高后,ILs可以催化PLA与POE-g-GMA的相界面反应,使共混体系形成微交联结构,材料的力学性能提高。DSC结果表明,ILs的引入可降低PLA的玻璃化转变温度,提高PLA的冷结晶能力,仅添加0.5%的ILs即可使共混体系中PLA的结晶度由17.5%提高至28.7%,表明ILs在促进相界面交联的同时明显提高PLA的链段运动能力;当ILs质量分数为2%时,共混材料的拉伸强度由30.2MPa提高至32.6MPa,断裂伸长率由44.8%提高至87.3%,刚韧平衡性良好。

Satellite gravimetry and mass transport in the earth system

Since launched in March 2002,the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment(GRACE)satellite gravity mission has brought a new era to the studies of large-scale mass transport and redistribution within different components of the Earth system,including the atmosphere,hydrosphere,ocean,cryosphere,and solid Earth,and greatly improved our understanding of the Earth climate system and solid Earth geophysics.This paper provides a comprehensive review of GRACE satellite gravimetry and its geophysical applications in monitoring and quantifying water mass changes in various components of the global water cycle,ice mass balance of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers,global sea level change,and mass redistribution in solid Earth.We also discuss in detail different GRACE data products(e.g.,standard spherical harmonic and mascon solutions),commonly used GRACE data post-processing methods,major challenges in using different GRACE data and how to correctly address those challenges.

Seismologic applications of GRACE time-variable gravity measurements

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment（GRACE） has been measuring temporal and spatial variations of mass redistribution within the Earth system since2002. As large earthquakes cause significant mass changes on and under the Earth＇s surface,GRACE provides a new means from space to observe mass redistribution due to earthquake deformations. GRACE serves as a good complement to other earthquake measurements because of its extensive spatial coverage and being free from terrestrial restriction. During its over 10 years mission,GRACE has successfully detected seismic gravitational changes of several giant earthquakes,which include the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake,2010 Maule（Chile） earthquake,and 2011 Tohoku-Oki（Japan） earthquake. In this review,we describe by examples how to process GRACE timevariable gravity data to retrieve seismic signals,and summarize the results of recent studies that apply GRACE observations to detect co- and post-seismic signals and constrain fault slip models and viscous lithospheric structures. We also discuss major problems and give an outlook in this field of GRACE application.

Long-term and inter-annual mass changes of Patagonia Ice Field from GRACE

Using more than 14 years of GRACE(Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite gravimetry observations, we estimate the ice loss rate for the Patagonia Ice Field(PIF) of South America. After correcting the effects of glacier isostatic adjustment(GIA) and hydrological variations, the ice loss rate is -23.5 ± 8.1 Giga ton per year(Gt/yr) during the period April 2002 through December 2016, equivalent to an average ice thickness change of-1.3 m/yr if evenly distributed over PIF. The PIF ice mass change series also show obvious inter-annual variations during the entire period. For the time spans April 2002 to December 2007, January 2008 to December 2012 and January 2013 to December 2016, the ice loss rates are -26.4,-9.0 and -25.0 Gt/yr, respectively, indicating that the ice melting experienced significant slowing down and accelerating again in the past decade. Comparison with time series from temperature and precipitation data over PIF suggests that the inter-annual ice losses might not be directly correlated with the temperature changes and precipitation anomalies, and thus their interrelation is intricate. However, the dramatic ice loss acceleration in 2016(with more than 100 Gt within the first half of the year) appears closely related with the evident temperature increase and severe precipitation shortage over 2016, which are likely correlated with the strong E1 Nino event around 2016. Moreover, we compare the GRACE spherical harmonic(SH) and mass concentration(Mascon) solutions in estimating the PIF ice loss rate, and find that the Mascon result has larger uncertainty in leakage error correction,while the SH solutions can better correct leakage errors based on a constrained forward modeling iterative method. Thus the GRACE SH solutions with constrained forward modeling recovery are recommended to evaluating the ice mass change of PIF or other glacier regions with relatively smaller spatial scales.

Reassessment of electromagnetic core-mantle coupling and its implications to the Earth’s decadal polar motion

The observed Earth’s polar motion on decadal time scales has long been conjectured to be excited by the exchange of equatorial angular momentum between the solid mantle and the fluid outer core,via the mechanism of electromagnetic(EM)core-mantle coupling.However,past estimations of the EM coupling torque from surface geomagnetic observations is too weak to account for the observed decadal polar motion.Our recent estimations from numerical geodynamo simulations have shown the opposite.In this paper,we re-examine in detail the EM coupling mechanism and the properties of the magnetic field in the electrically conducting lower mantle(characterized by a thin D '-layer at the base of the mantle).Our simulations find that the toroidal field in the D'-layer from the induction and convection of the toroidal field in the outer core could be potentially much stronger than that from the advection of the poloidal field in the outer core.The former,however,cannot be inferred from geomagnetic observations at the Earth’s surface,and is missing in previous EM torque estimated from geomagnetic observations.Our deduction suggests further that this field could make the actual EM coupling torque sufficiently strong,at approximately 5×1019 Nm,to excite,and hence explain,the decadal polar motion to magnitude of approximately 10 mas.

Digital twin for healthy indoor environment:A vision for the post-pandemic era

Indoor environment has significant impacts on human health as people spend 90%of their time indoors.The COVID-19 pandemic and the increased public health awareness have further elevated the urgency for cultivating and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.The advancement in emerging digital twin technologies including building information modeling(BIM),Internet of Things(IoT),data analytics,and smart control have led to new opportunities for building design and operation.Despite the numerous studies on developing methods for creating digital twins and enabling new functionalities and services in smart building management,very few have focused on the health of indoor environment.There is a critical need for understanding and envisaging how digital twin paradigms can be geared towards healthy indoor environment.Therefore,this study reviews the techniques for developing digital twins and discusses how the techniques can be customized to contribute to public health.Specifically,the current applications of BIM,IoT sensing,data analytics,and smart building control technologies for building digital twins are reviewed,and the knowledge gaps and limitations are discussed to guide future research for improving environmental and occupant health.Moreover,this paper elaborates a vision for future research on integrated digital twins for a healthy indoor environment with special considerations of the above four emerging techniques and issues.This review contributes to the body of knowledge by advocating for the consideration of health in digital twin modeling and smart building services and presenting the research roadmap for digital twin-enabled healthy indoor environment.

Controlling morphology evolution of AIN nanostructures：influence of growth conditions in physical vapor transport

A series of AIN nanostructures were synthesized by an ultrahigh-temperature, catalyst-free, physical vapor transport（PVT） process. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）,high resolution transmission electron microscopy（HRTEM） detection show that high quality AIN nanowires were prepared. Nanostructures including nanorings, nanosprings, nanohelices, chainlike nanowires, six-fold symmetric nanostructure and rod-like structure were successfully obtained by controlling the growth duration and temperature. The morphology evolution was attributed to electrostatic polar charge model and the crystalline lattice structure of AIN.

Trace elements of pyrite and S,H,O isotopes from the Laowan gold deposit in Tongbai,Henan Province,China:implications for ore genesis

The Laowan deposit is a large gold deposit in the Qinling-Dabie orogenic belt where pyrite is the main Au-bearing mineral phase.We present results from the occurrences of gold,trace elements and sulfur isotopes of pyrite,and hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of quartz and calcite to elucidate the sources of ore-forming fluid;the genesis of pyrite and the ore-forming process.From field observations,five generations of pyrite are identified;one formed in a metamorphic-diagenetic epoch(PyI),and the others during four mineralization stages:1)the coarse-grained pyrite-quartz stage(PyII),2)the quartz and medium-to fine-grained pyrite stage(PyIII),3)the polymetallic sulfide stage(PyIV),and 4)the carbonate-quartz stage(PyV).Gold mainly occurs in PyIII and PyIV.We find that Au,Ag,Pb,and Cu are incorporated into pyrite as micro-/nano-inclusions and that Co,Ni,As,and Se enter the pyrite lattice via isomorphous replacement.The Co/Ni values and Se concentrations indicate that PyI formed from metamorphic hydrothermal fluids and that pyrites(PyII,PyIII,and PyIV)from the ore-forming stages typically reflect a hydrothermal genesis involving magmatic fluid.Theδ^34S values of PyI(1.45‰-2.09‰)are similar to that of plagioclase amphibole schist,indicating that S was primarily derived from wall rock,while those of PyII,PyIII,and PyIV(3.10‰-5.55‰)suggest that S was derived from the Guishanyan Formation and the Laowan granite.The four mineralization stages show a systematic decrease inδD(from−77.1‰to−82.8‰,−84.7‰,and−102.7‰),while theδ^18OH2O values showed a gradual decrease from 5.7 to 2.7‰,1.0‰,and−1.3‰.These data show that the ore-forming fluid was similar to a mixture of magmatic and meteoric waters.Thus,we conclude that the Laowan gold deposit is related to magmatic-hydrothermal fluid.

Iteratively weighted thresholding homotopy method for the sparse solution of underdetermined linear equations

Recently, iteratively reweighted methods have attracted much interest in compressed sensing, outperforming their unweighted counterparts in most cases. In these methods, decision variables and weights are optimized alternatingly, or decision variables are optimized under heuristically chosen weights. In this paper,we present a novel weighted l1-norm minimization problem for the sparsest solution of underdetermined linear equations. We propose an iteratively weighted thresholding method for this problem, wherein decision variables and weights are optimized simultaneously. Furthermore, we prove that the iteration process will converge eventually. Using the homotopy technique, we enhance the performance of the iteratively weighted thresholding method. Finally, extensive computational experiments show that our method performs better in terms of both running time and recovery accuracy compared with some state-of-the-art methods.
