However, the method can admit non-physical solutions. Non-physical solutions were encountered from a three-blade-row compressor configuration in a time domain harmonic balance analysis. This paper aims to investigate the root cause of the non-physical solutions. The investigation involves several strategies, which include increasing the number of harmonics, increasing the number of time instants, including scattered modes,including the rotor-rotor interaction, and the use of a new method-the approximate time domain nonlinear harmonic method. Numerical analyses pertinent to each strategy are presented to reveal the root cause of the non-physical solution. It is found that the nonlinear interaction of unsteady flow components with different fundamental frequencies is the cause of the non-physical solution. The non-physical solution can be eliminated by incorporating extra scattered modes or using the approximate time domain nonlinear harmonic method.展开更多

The catalytic activities of DACs are largely decided by their surrounding micro-environment and supporting substrates. Modulating the micro-environment as well as engineering the efficient support is challenging tasks. Moreover, both are critical to optimizing the performance of DACs. Herein, a novel bio-cooperative strategy is developed to synthesize Fe Ni-DAC wherein Fe-Ni dual-atom sites are embedded in the N, P codoped tyre shaped carbon matrix. The configuration matching of Fe-Ni dual centers together with the local electronic engineering of N, P heteroatoms synergistically boost the catalytic activity on the oxygen reaction. Furthermore, the central-hollow highlyporous carbon matrix not only gives rise to a large amount of active sites, but also facilitates fast kinetics.Taking advantage of both the DAC and the substrate, the Fe Ni-NPC hollow tyre(HT) catalyst scores high in both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, which exhibits the narrow potential difference and excellent durability. The aqueous Zn-air full battery(ZAB) integrating the Fe Ni-NPC HT air cathode has a high power density and a good stability over long-term cycling. Moreover, the flexible solid-state ZAB assembled with the polymer electrolyte obtains the high reliability over a wide range of temperatures or under diverse outside deformations. Therefore, this work offers a new green approach to prepare highly efficient DACs with built-in modulated micro-environment and tailor-made substrates. Moreover,it also paves a new way to develop highly-pliable power source for flexible electronics.展开更多

文摘The Daheishan supergiant porphyry molybdenum deposit(also referred to as the Daheishan deposit)is the second largest molybdenum deposit in Asia and ranks fifth among the top seven molybdenum deposits globally with total molybdenum reserves of 1.65 billion tons,an average molybdenum ore grade of 0.081%,and molybdenum resources of 1.09 million tons.The main ore body is housed in the granodiorite porphyry plutons and their surrounding inequigranular granodiorite plutons,with high-grade ores largely located in the ore-bearing granodiorite porphyries in the middle-upper part of the porphyry plutons.Specifically,it appears as an ore pipe with a large upper part and a small lower part,measuring about 1700 m in length and width,extending for about 500 m vertically,and covering an area of 2.3 km^(2).Mineralogically,the main ore body consists of molybdenite,chalcopyrite,and sphalerite horizontally from its center outward and exhibits molybdenite,azurite,and pyrite vertically from top to bottom.The primary ore minerals include pyrite and molybdenite,and the secondary ore minerals include sphalerite,chalcopyrite,tetrahedrite,and scheelite,with average grades of molybdenum,copper,sulfur,gallium,and rhenium being 0.081%,0.033%,1.67%,0.001%,and 0.0012%,respectively.The ore-forming fluids of the Daheishan deposit originated as the CO_(2)-H_(2)O-NaCl multiphase magmatic fluid system,rich in CO_(2)and bearing minor amounts of CH4,N2,and H2S,and later mixed with meteoric precipitation.In various mineralization stages,the ore-forming fluids had homogenization temperatures of>420℃‒400℃,360℃‒350℃,340℃‒230℃,220℃‒210℃,and 180℃‒160℃and salinities of>41.05%‒9.8%NaCleqv,38.16%‒4.48%NaCleqv,35.78%‒4.49%NaCleqv,7.43%NaCleqv,and 7.8%‒9.5%NaCleqv,respectively.The mineralization of the Daheishan deposit occurred at 186‒167 Ma.The granites closely related to the mineralization include granodiorites(granodiorite porphyries)and monzogranites(monzogranite porphyries),which were mineralized after magmatic evolution(189‒167 Ma).Moreover,these mineralization-related granites exhibit low initial strontium content and high initial neodymium content,indicating that these granites underwent crust-mantle mixing.The Daheishan deposit formed during the Early-Middle Jurassic,during which basaltic magma underplating induced the lower-crust melting,leading to the formation of magma chambers.After the fractional crystallization of magmas,ore-bearing fluids formed.As the temperature and pressure decreased,the ore-bearing fluids boiled drops while ascending,leading to massive unloading of metal elements.Consequently,brecciated and veinlet-disseminated ore bodies formed.

文摘The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic caused by frequently mutating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)has had a worldwide impact.However,detailed data on the potential aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in real-world and controlled laboratory settings remain sparse.During the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai,China in 2022,samples were collected in a Fangcang shelter hospital,a large-scale temporary hospital rapidly built by converting the existing National Exhibition and Convention Center(Shanghai)into a health care facility.Aerosol samples at different sites and intervals around patients and in public areas,surface samples,and pharyngeal swab samples from corresponding patients were included.Samples were tested for SARS-CoV-2 using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)assays,followed by sequencing if the cycle threshold(Ct)value was<30.The positivity rate for SARS-CoV-2 in aerosol samples was high in contaminated zones(37.5%,104/277),especially around the bed(41.2%,68/165)and near ventilation inlets(45.2%,14/31).The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 around the bed,public areas,and air inlets of exhaust vents fluctuated and was closely related to the positivity rate among patients at corresponding sampling sites.Some surface samples of different personal protective equipment from medical staff had high positivity rates.Sixty sequences of joined ORF1ab and spike genes obtained from sixty samples represented two main clusters of Omicron SARS-CoV-2.There was consistency in virus sequences from the same patient and their environment,and the detected virus sequences matched those of virus strains in circulation during the collection periods,which indicated a high likelihood of cross-contamination in the Fangcang shelter hospital.In summary,the results provide a quantitative and real landscape of the aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and a patient-centered view of contamination in large and enclosed spaces and offer a useful guide for taking targeted measures to avoid nosocomial infections during the management of SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory virus diseases in a Fangcang shelter hospital.

文摘The reserves of the Duobaoshan porphyry Cu-Au-Mo-Ag deposit(also referred to as the Duobaoshan porphyry Cu deposit)ranks first among the copper deposits in China and 33rd among the porphyry copper deposits in the world.It has proven resources of copper(Cu),molybdenum(Mo),gold(Au),and silver(Ag)of 2.28×10^(6)t,80×10^(3)t,73 t,and 1046 t,respectively.The major characteristics of the Duobaoshan porphyry Cu deposit are as follows.It is located in a zone sandwiched by the Siberian,North China,and paleo-Pacific plates in an island arc tectonic setting and was formed by the Paleozoic mineralization and the Mesozoic mineralization induced by superposition and transformation.The metallogenic porphyries are the Middle Hercynian granodiorite porphyries.The alterations of surrounding rocks are distributed in a ring form.With silicified porphyries at the center,the alteration zones of K-feldspar,biotite,sericite,and propylite occur from inside to outside.This deposit is composed of 215 ore bodies(including 14 major ore bodies)in four mineralized zones.Ore body No.X in the No.3 mineralized zone has the largest resource reserves,accounting for more than 78%of the total reserves of the deposit.Major ore components include Cu,Mo,Au,Ag,Se,and Ga,which have an average content of 0.46%,0.015%,0.16 g/t,1.22 g/t,0.0003%,and 0.001%-0.003%,respectively.The ore minerals of this deposit primarily include pyrite,chalcopyrite,bornite,and molybdenite,followed by magnetite,hematite,rutile,gelenite,and sphalerite.The ore-forming fluids of this deposit were magmatic water in the early metallogenic stage and then the mixture of meteoric water and magmatic water at the late metallogenic stage.The ore-forming fluids experienced three stages.The ore-forming fluids of stageⅠhad a hydrochemical type of H_(2)O-CO_(2)-Na Cl,an ore-forming temperature of 375-650℃,and ore-forming pressure of 110-160 MPa.The ore-forming fluids of stageⅡhad a hydrochemical type of H_(2)O-CO_(2)-Na Cl,an ore-forming temperature of 310-350℃,and ore-forming pressure of 58-80 MPa.The ore-forming fluids of stageⅢhad a hydrochemical type of Na Cl-H_(2)O,an ore-forming temperature of 210-290℃,and ore-forming pressure of 5-12 MPa.The CuAu-Mo-Ag mineralization mainly occurred at stagesⅠandⅡ,with the ore-forming materials having a mixed crust-mantle source.The Duobaoshan porphyry Cu deposit was formed in the initial subduction environment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean Plate during the Early Ordovician.Then,due to the closure of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean and the subduction and compression of the Paleo-Pacific Ocean,a composite orogenic metallogenic model of the deposit was formed.In other words,it is a porphyry-epithermal copper-gold polymetallic mineralization system of composite orogeny consisting of Paleozoic island arcs and Mesozoic orogeny and extension.

文摘Tin sulfide(SnS_(2))with high theoretical capacity and layered structure is a promising anode candidate for potassium-ion batteries(PIBs).However,the sluggish kinetics,huge volume expansion and polysulfide intermediates dissolution restrict its development.To address these issues,a necklace-like hybrid fiber with core–shell beads is designed to achieve the high-performance anode for PIBs.The cores of the beads are assembly by SnS_(2)nanocrystals dotted in N,S codoped carbon(NSC)matrix.Then they are encapsulated by NSC based shell and form the core–shell structured beads internal the hybrid fiber(CSN fiber).The carbon matrix of SnS_(2)@NSC CSN fiber gives fast ion/electron pathways and facilitates to decrease particle aggregation.Meanwhile,N,S codpants favor to trap the polysulfides intermediates and alleviate the sulfur loss during cycling.Moreover,the voids internal the beads further provide the high accommodation to volume change.Taken all above advantages,the SnS_(2)@NSC CSN fiber achieves the excellent high rate capability and ultrastable cycling property,which obtains a low capacity decay rate of 0.013%after 2000 cycles at 2 A g^(-1).Moreover,its good mechanical characteristics ensure the fabrication of the flexible PIB full cell,which achieves the high pliability,superior power/energy density and high reliability in diverse working conditions.Therefore,this work not only gives a new clue to design the highperformance electrode for potassium storage,but also propels the applications of PIBs for diverse electronics.

文摘The bulk/surface states of semiconductor photocatalysts are imperative parameters to maneuver their performance by significantly affecting the key processes of photocatalysis including light absorption,separation of charge carrier,and surface site reaction.Recent years have witnessed the encouraging progress of self-adaptive bulk/surface engineered Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z) for photocatalytic applications spanning various fields.However,despite the maturity of current research,the interaction between the bulk/surface state and the performance of Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z) has not yet been fully understood and highlighted.In this regard,a timely tutorial overview is quite urgent to summarize the most recent key progress and outline developing obstacles in this exciting area.Herein,the structural characteristics and fundamental principles of Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)for driving photocatalytic reaction as well as related key issues are firstly reviewed.Then,we for the first time summarized different self-adaptive engineering processes over Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)followed by a classification of the generation approaches towards diverse Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)materials.The features of different strategies,the up-to-date characterization techniques to detect bulk/surface states,and the effect of bulk/surface states on improving the photoactivity of Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)in expanded applications are further discussed.Finally,the present research status,challenges,and future research opportunities of self-adaptive bulk/surface engineered Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)are prospected.It is anticipated that this critical review can trigger deeper investigations and attract upcoming innovative ideas on the rational design of Bi_(x)O_(y)Br_(z)-based photocatalysts.

文摘In recent years,there are numerous studies on chaotic systems with special equilibrium curves having various shapes such as circle,butterfly,heart and apple.This paper describes a new 3-D chaotic dynamical system with a capsule-shaped equilibrium curve.The proposed chaotic system has two quadratic,two cubic and two quartic nonlinear terms.It is noted that the proposed chaotic system has a hidden attractor since it has an infinite number of equilibrium points.It is also established that the proposed chaotic system exhibits multi-stability with two coexisting chaotic attractors for the same parameter values but differential initial states.A detailed bifurcation analysis with respect to variations in the system parameters is portrayed for the new chaotic system with capsule equilibrium curve.We have shown MATLAB plots to illustrate the capsule equilibrium curve,phase orbits of the new chaotic system,bifurcation diagrams and multi-stability.As an engineering application,we have proposed a speech cryptosystem with a numerical algorithm,which is based on our novel 3-D chaotic system with a capsule-shaped equilibrium curve.The proposed speech cryptosystem follows its security evolution and implementation on Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)platform.Experimental results show that the proposed encryption system utilizes 33%of the FPGA,while the maximum clock frequency is 178.28 MHz.

文摘Background:Immunotherapy has become the fastest-adopting treatment paradigm for lung cancer with improved survival.By binding with its ligand(inducible T-cell costimulator and its ligand[ICOSL]),an inducible T-cell co-stimulator(ICOS)could contribute to reversing immunosuppression and improving immune response and thus be a potential target for cancer immunotherapy.Methods:We selected 54 formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded tumor tissues from cases with stage I–III lung adenocarcinoma cancer.Immunohistochemical expression of ICOS and ICOSL was evaluated.The correlation with clinical parameters in Chinese patients was also compared with TCGA results.Results:The positive rates of ICOS and ICOSL were 68%and 81.5%,respectively,in lung tumor tissues.Of these,9 cases had a low expression of ICOS,and 22 cases had a high expression of ICOS;ICOSL expression was low in 20 cases and high in 24 cases.According to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer(8th edition),phase I lesions were detected in 21 cases,phase II lesions in 15 cases,and phase III lesions in 18 cases.The median survival time of all patients was 44.5 months,and the median disease-free survival was 32 months.Univariate analysis showed that the factors significantly associated with overall survival were tumor size,regional lymph node involvement,stage,and expression level of ICOS/ICOSL.Survival analysis using log-rank test indicated that the lower ICOS+cell infiltration may predict poor prognosis,whereas lower ICOSL protein expression may be associated with better prognosis,but ICOSL data need further validation in larger samples due to inconsistency in TCGA mRNA prediction.Conclusion:ICOS/ICOSL might be associated with prognosis of lung cancer,and ICOS and its ligand may be potential therapeutic targets in non-small cell lung cancer.
文摘Although the fast development of potassium-ion hybrid capacitors(PIHC)recently,the issues such as the slow kinetics and poor durability of potassium ion hosts greatly restric their applications.Herein,a freestanding fiber(NHF fiber)with necklace-like configuration and CoPSe@N-doped carbon(CoPSe@NCNT)heterostructured units is introduced as the anode in PIHC.The highly porous network of NHF fiber facilitates the fast ion transports and promises the good high-rate property.Additionally,the nanoscle crystallites inside in-situ grown NCNT favor the high adaption to volume expansion/shrinkage and endow good structure stability during ion insertion/deinsertion.Density function theoretical(DFT)calculations disclose the CoPSe@NCNT heterostructure has improved intrinsic conductivity,fast potassium migration,and decreased energy barrier.Meanwhile,the finite element simulation analysis(FEA)reveals the decreased stress inside the NHF architecture during charge/discharge processes.Moreover,the electrochemical tests confirm the fast and durable properties of the CoPSe@NCNT NHF fibers for potassium storage.Furthermore,the PIHC full cell with the anode of CoPSe@NCNT NHF fiber is assembled,which obtains the superior energy/power densities and high capacity retention(89%)after 2000 cycles at 2 A g^(-1).When the polymer electrolyte is incooperated,the flexible PIHC device achieves the good pliability and good adaptation during wide temperature changes from-20 to 25℃.Therefore,this work introduces a novel anode for fast potassium ion storage,and opens a new approach to assemble the power sources for flexible electronics in diverse conditions.

文摘The electronic and functional synergies between the twin metal centers make dual single-atom catalysts(DACs) attractive for oxygen electrocatalysis. The catalytic activities of DACs are largely decided by their surrounding micro-environment and supporting substrates. Modulating the micro-environment as well as engineering the efficient support is challenging tasks. Moreover, both are critical to optimizing the performance of DACs. Herein, a novel bio-cooperative strategy is developed to synthesize Fe Ni-DAC wherein Fe-Ni dual-atom sites are embedded in the N, P codoped tyre shaped carbon matrix. The configuration matching of Fe-Ni dual centers together with the local electronic engineering of N, P heteroatoms synergistically boost the catalytic activity on the oxygen reaction. Furthermore, the central-hollow highlyporous carbon matrix not only gives rise to a large amount of active sites, but also facilitates fast kinetics.Taking advantage of both the DAC and the substrate, the Fe Ni-NPC hollow tyre(HT) catalyst scores high in both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, which exhibits the narrow potential difference and excellent durability. The aqueous Zn-air full battery(ZAB) integrating the Fe Ni-NPC HT air cathode has a high power density and a good stability over long-term cycling. Moreover, the flexible solid-state ZAB assembled with the polymer electrolyte obtains the high reliability over a wide range of temperatures or under diverse outside deformations. Therefore, this work offers a new green approach to prepare highly efficient DACs with built-in modulated micro-environment and tailor-made substrates. Moreover,it also paves a new way to develop highly-pliable power source for flexible electronics.

文摘To improve the application of discrete element models(DEM)to the design of agricultural crushers,in this study a new highly accurate model is elaborated.The model takes into account the fiber structure,porous nature of the material and the leaf sheath coating structure.Dedicated experimental tests are conducted to determine the required“intrinsic”and basic contact parameters of the considered banana straw materials.A large number of bonding parameters are examined in relation to the particle aggregation model in order to characterize different actual banana straws.Using the particle surface energy contact model,the viscosity characteristics of the crushed material are determined together with the related stacking angle(considered as the main response factor).Through single factor experiment analysis,it is found that when the surface energy is 0.9 J·m-2,the relative error between simulations and physical experiments is 5.288%.

文摘Prunus pusilliflora is a wild cherry germplasm resource distributed mainly in Southwest China.Despite its ornamental and economic value,a high-quality assembled P.pusilliflora genome is unavailable,hindering our understanding of its genetic background,population diversity,and evolutionary processes.Here,we de novo assembled a chromosome-scale P.pusilliflora genome using Oxford Nanopore,Illumina,and chromosome conformation capture sequencing.The assembled genome size was 309.62 Mb,with 76 scaffolds anchored to eight pseudochromosomes.We predicted 33035 protein-coding genes,functionally annotated 98.27%of them,and identified repetitive sequences covering 49.08%of the genome.We found that P.pusilliflora is closely related to Prunus serrulata and Prunus yedoensis,having diverged from them∼41.8 million years ago.A comparative genomic analysis revealed that P.pusilliflora has 643 expanded and 1128 contracted gene families.Furthermore,we found that P.pusilliflora is more resistant to Colletotrichum viniferum,Phytophthora capsici,and Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato(Pst)DC3000 infections than cultivated Prunus avium.P.pusilliflora also has considerably more nucleotide-binding site-type resistance gene analogs than P.avium,which explains its stronger disease resistance.The cytochrome P450 and WRKY families of 263 and 61 proteins were divided into 42 and 8 subfamilies respectively in P.pusilliflora.Furthermore,81 MADS-box genes were identified in P.pusilliflora,accompanying expansions of the SVP and AGL15 subfamilies and loss of the TM3 subfamily.Our assembly of a high-quality P.pusilliflora genome will be valuable for further research on cherries and molecular breeding.
