黄河流域生态保护迈向高质量发展的特征——植被绿度、生产力和降水利用效率的差异性变化

Globally,vegetation has been changing dramatically.The vegetation-water dynamic is key to understanding ecosystem structure and functioning in water-limited ecosystems.Continual satellite monitoring has detected global vegetation greening.However,a vegetation greenness increase does not mean that ecosystem functions increase.The intricate interplays resulting from the relationships between vegetation and precipitation must be more adequately comprehended.In this study,satellite data,for example,leaf area index(LAI),net primary production(NPP),and rainfall use efficiency(RUE),were used to quantify vegetation dynamics and their relationship with rainfall in different reaches of the Yellow River Basin(YRB).A sequential regression method was used to detect trends of NPP sensitivity to rainfall.The results showed that 34.53%of the YRB exhibited a significant greening trend since 2000.Among them,20.54%,53.37%,and 16.73%of upper,middle,and lower reach areas showed a significant positive trend,respectively.NPP showed a similar trend to LAI in the YRB upper,middle,and lower reaches.A notable difference was noted in the distributions and trends of RUE across the upper,middle,and lower reaches.Moreover,there were significant trends in vegetation-rainfall sensitivity in 16.86%of the YRB’s middle reaches—14.08%showed negative trends and 2.78%positive trends.A total of 8.41%of the YRB exhibited a marked increase in LAI,NPP,and RUE.Subsequently,strategic locations reliant on the correlation between vegetation and rainfall were identified and designated for restoration planning purposes to propose future ecological restoration efforts.Our analysis indicates that the middle reach of the YRB exhibited the most significant variation in vegetation greenness and productivity.The present study underscores the significance of examining the correlation between vegetation and rainfall within the context of the high-quality development strategy of the YRB.The outcomes of our analysis and the proposed ecological restoration framework can provide decision-makers with valuable insights for executing rational basin pattern optimization and sustainable management.

Integrated Active Suspension and Anti-Lock Braking Control for Four-Wheel-Independent-Drive Electric Vehicles

This paper presents an integrated control scheme for enhancing the ride comfort and handling performance of a four-wheel-independent-drive electric vehicle through the coordination of active suspension system(ASS)and anti-lock braking system(ABS).First,a longitudinal-vertical coupled vehicle dynamics model is established by integrating a road input model.Then the coupling mechanisms between longitudinal and vertical vehicle dynamics are analyzed.An ASS-ABS integrated control system is proposed,utilizing an H∞controller for ASS to optimize load transfer effect and a neural network sliding mode control for ABS implementation.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is evaluated through comprehensive tests conducted on a hardware-in-loop(HIL)test platform.The HIL test results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can significantly improve the braking performance and ride comfort compared to conventional ABS control methods.

Effect of icosahedral phase formation on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC)behaviors of the as-cast Mg-8%Li(in wt.%)based alloys

Through exploring the stress corrosion cracking(SCC)behaviors of the as-cast Mg-8%Li and Mg-8%Li-6%Zn-1.2%Y alloys in a 0.1 M NaCl solution,it revealed that the SCC susceptibility index(I_(SCC))of the Mg-8%Li alloy was 47%,whilst the I_(SCC)of the Mg-8%Li-6%Zn-1.2%Y alloy was 68%.Surface,cross-sectional and fractography observations indicated that for the Mg-8%Li alloy,theα-Mg/β-Li interfaces acted as the preferential crack initiation sites and propagation paths during the SCC process.With regard to the Mg-8%Li-6%Zn-1.2%Y alloy,the crack initiation sites included the I-phase and the interfaces of I-phase/β-Li andα-Mg/β-Li,and the preferential propagation paths were the I-phase/β-Li andα-Mg/β-Li interfaces.Moreover,the SCC of the two alloys was concerned with hydrogen embrittlement(HE)mechanism.

The Clinical Outcomes of Mosaic Embryo Transfer in Preimplantation Genetic Testing Cycles

Purpose: We aimed to analyze the pregnancy outcomes and perinatal follow-up of mosaic embryo transfer in the preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cycles. Method: We retrospectively selected 27 mosaic embryo transfer cycles as the study group and 97 euploid embryo transfer cycles as the control group after propensity score matching, which were performed in the reproductive medicine center of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, from March 2019 to September 2023. The biopsy cells from blastocyst were undertaken next generation sequencing (NGS). Results: No significant difference in pregnancy outcomes compared between the two groups. According to the size of aneuploid, fragment the level of mosaicism or blastocyst morphological gradings, there were no significant difference in mosaic embryo transfers. Conclusion: Mosaic embryo detected in the PGT cycle can lead to clinical pregnancy and live birth of healthy offspring, which can be considerate suitable for transfer.

Multi-site anchoring of single-molecule for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells with lead shielding

The emergence of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) has greatly promoted the progress of photovoltaic technologies.The rapid development of PSCs has been driven by the advances in optimizing perovskite films and their adjacent interfaces.However,the polycrystalline perovskite layers in most highly efficient PSCs still contain various defects that greatly limit photovoltaic performance and stability of the devices.Herein,we introduce a multifunctional additive ethylene diamine tetra methylene phosphonic sodium(EDTMPS) with multiple anchor points into the precursor of perovskite to improve the efficiency and stability of PSCs and provide in-situ protection of lead leakage.The addition of EDTMPS acts as a crystal growth controller and passivation agent for perovskite films,thereby slowing down the crystallization rate of the film and obtaining high-quality perovskite films.Our study also provides an insight into how the modifier modulate the interfacial energy level arrangement as well as affect transfer of charge carriers and their recombination under photoinduced excitation.As a result,the power conversion efficiency(PCE) of single subcell with a working area of 0.255 cm^(2) increases significantly from 20.03% to 23.37%.Moreover,we obtained a PCE of 19.16% for the 25 cm^(2) module.Importantly,the unencapsulated EDTMP-modified PSCs exhibit better operational and thermal stability,as well as in-situ absorption of leaked lead ions.

Columbianetin acetate inhibits the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer cells by down-regulating the expression of Meiotic nuclear divisions 1

Columbianetin acetate(CE)is one of the effective components of Angelica pubescens.So far,the specific role and molecular mechanism of CE in pancreatic cancer are not clear.Thus,this study aimed to explore the specific mechanism of CE on pancreatic cancer.The target genes combined with CE were predicted through the PharmMapper database and the 3D molecular structure of CE.Then,the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Cistrome data browser(DB)databases were used to screen Meiotic nuclear divisions 1(MND1)-related genes,transcription factors,and transcription factor data sets,and the intersection of the above data sets.The“limma”package in the R and gene expression profiling interactive analysis(GEPIA)databases were used to analyze the correlation and survival difference between the target genes and MND1 to predict the degree of association between CE and MND1.Western blotting and RT-PCR experiments revealed the regulatory relationship among CE,E2F1,and MND1 at the cellular level.The specific effects of CE on pancreatic cancer cells were explored through CCK8,wound healing,migration,and flow cycle experiments.E2F1,also the predictive transcription factor of MND1,was also the predictive target protein of CE.At the same time,E2F1 and MND1 were closely related in pancreatic tissue.In the cell function experiment,CE and interference with E2F1 expression could reduce the gene and protein expression of MND1,which was closely associated with cell proliferation,migration,and cycle development.Similarly,interfering with the expression of mnd1 can also inhibit the further development of tumor cells.CE may inhibit the development of pancreatic cancer cells by reducing the expression of MND1.This implies that CE may be a potential novel agent for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

孔口催化促进双功能催化剂上合成气制异构烷烃

随着我国国民经济的快速发展,碳基能源需求量在不断上升,能源供需矛盾日益凸显.在可再生能源替代传统化石能源之前,着手开发合成气催化转化补充石油路线获得油料和大宗化学品成为形势所需,其中的关键点之一是高效催化剂的开发以实现对产物选择性的精准调控.近年来,利用氧化物/分子筛双功能催化剂将甲醇合成和C–C偶联有效集成的催化体系开辟了合成气转化乃至C1转化的新路径.随着合成气直接制低碳烯烃和芳烃等一系列研究取得重大进展,合成气定向转化为高品质汽油作为C1化学领域另一极具挑战性的研究课题也受到了科研工作者们的广泛关注.然而,目前对氧化物/分子筛双功能催化剂体系中异构烷烃的形成机理尚不明确,与传统的分子筛负载费托合成催化剂之间的性能差异还缺乏系统的研究.基于此,本文利用水热合成法制备了三种具有不同微孔尺寸的一维SAPO分子筛(SAPO-41、SAPO-11和SAPO-5),分别与尖晶石结构的ZnAlO_(x)氧化物耦合,并将其应用于合成气制汽油反应中.结果表明,以具有中等微孔尺寸的SAPO-41和SAPO-11分子筛作为C–C偶联功能组分时,合成气直接转化产物中C_(5)–C_(11)选择性分别高达71%和79%,且该馏分以异构烷烃产物为主.其中ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11催化剂上异构烷烃与正构烷烃的比例(C_(iso)^(0)/C_(n)^(0))达到13.相较于ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11,ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-41催化剂在反应4 h后迅速失活,反应稳定性较差.在优化ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11催化剂性能后,分别从产物分布、活性和稳定性三方面入手,将其与经典的Co/H-meso-ZSM-5催化剂进行对比分析.结果表明,Co/H-meso-ZSM-5在低温下仍具有较强的CO活化能力,产物中C_(5)–C_(11)选择性可达70%,但C_(iso)^(0)/C_(n)^(0)仅为2.3.此外,由于钴基催化剂的加氢能力较强,甲烷选择性较高.在稳定性方面,虽然二者均有不同程度的失活,但ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11催化剂在反应100 h后,C_(5)–C_(11)选择性依然保持在75%左右,而Co/H-meso-ZSM-5上C_(5)–C_(11)选择性降至64%.通过对ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11催化剂上产物的细致分析,发现异构烷烃以单支链的异构体为主.结合正丁烷和异丁烷的等温吸附实验以及的动力学尺寸,推断异构烷烃的形成遵循孔口催化机理,即线性烃类的异构化只能在SAPO-11分子筛的孔口附近发生.生成单支链碳氢化合物是孔口催化的一个特征.由于单支链烷烃相对于双支链烷烃不易裂解,因而生成的单支链C_(5)–C_(11)异构烷烃在ZnAlO_(x)/SAPO-11催化剂上稳定存在,抑制了裂解副反应的发生.综上所述,本文发展了一类氧化物/分子筛双功能催化剂用于转化合成气直接制C_(5)–C_(11)异构烷烃,证实了异构烷烃的生成遵循孔口催化机理,是孔口催化在合成气转化中的应用案例.同时本文系统比较了其与传统的分子筛负载费托合成催化剂之间的性能差异,为设计双功能催化剂实现特定目标产物的选择性合成提供了研究思路.

Effect of homogenization treatment on microstructure evolution and the distributions of RE and Zr elements in various MgeLieREeZr alloys

Mge3Lie0.4Zr alloys containing RE elements(Gd,La,Nd)(Mge3LieREe0.4Zr alloys)are investigated to reveal the influence of homogenization treatment on microstructures and distributions of RE,Zr elements.It is found that 300
C24 h homogenization treatment shows better improvement on the microstructure including the refinement of grain size,the dispersion of cellular dendrite and low melting point particles.Before treatment,La and Nd segregate effectively at grain boundary and Zr segregates in the form of precipitates.Homogenization treatment induces the reduction of RE segregation.However,the segregation of Zr in precipitates cannot be abated due to the relatively low diffusion rate compared with RE elements.

An X-by-wire chassis can improve the kinematic characteristics of human-vehicle closed-loop system and thus active safety especially under emergency scenarios via enabling chassis coordinated control.This paper aims to provide a complete and systematic survey on chassis coordinated control methods for full X-by-wire vehicles,with the primary goal of summarizing recent reserch advancements and stimulating innovative thoughts.Driving condition identification including driver’s operation intention,critical vehicle states and road adhesion condition and integrated control of X-by-wire chassis subsystems constitute the main framework of a chassis coordinated control scheme.Under steering and braking maneuvers,different driving condition identification methods are described in this paper.These are the trigger conditions and the basis for the implementation of chassis coordinated control.For the vehicles equipped with steering-by-wire,braking-by-wire and/or wire-controlled-suspension systems,state-of-the-art chassis coordinated control methods are reviewed including the coordination of any two or three chassis subsystems.Finally,the development trends are discussed.

Effects of Nd/Gd value on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Nd-Zr alloys

Four Mg–Gd–Y–Nd–Zr alloys were prepared by mold casting to investigate the effects of Nd/Gd ratios on microstructures and mechanical properties.The as-cast alloys mainly consist ofα-Mg andβ-Mg5(GdYNd).Volume fractions of the second phase increase and grains were slightly refined with the rising Nd/Gd ratio,when the alloying addition is equal.Meanwhile,fibers of second phase also increase in the extruded alloys when the Nd/Gd value increases.However,the Nd/Gd ratio could hardly influence the mechanical properties of the extruded alloys.The aging hardening response of the extruded alloy differs due to different Nd/Gd ratios.The potential mechanisms have also been discussed in detail.

Determination of the constant m_(i) in the Hoek-Brown criterion of rock based on drilling parameters

The constant m_(i) in the Hoek-Brown(H-B) criterion is a fundamental parameter required for determining the compressive strength of rock. In this paper, drilling parameters provide a new basis for determining the constant mi. An analytical relationship between the drilling parameters and constant miis established in consideration of the contact response between the drilling bit and the cut rock in the crushed zone.New models are developed to predict the triaxial compressive strength(TCS), internal friction angle φand cohesion c of rock. Drilling tests are carried out on 6 rock types to study the correlation between φ and m_(i). A comparison between the predicted values of rock mechanical properties and the measured values from the laboratory is performed to verify the accuracy of the proposed model(yielding an error less than 10%). The TCSs and constant m_(i) values of fifteen rocks are cited to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. The result shows that the proposed model predicts the TCS and constant m_(i) within a maximum error of 20%. The method can be conveniently applied to the rock mechanical properties.

Effects of deformation twins on microstructure evolution,mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors in magnesium alloys-A review

Due to lattice reorientation,grain segmentation,induced recrystallization,twins play a very important role in regulating texture,refining grains,improving mechanical properties and corrosion resistance,and has received more extensive attention.Numerous studies have shown that{10-12}<10-11>tensile twins(TTWs)are easily activated in large quantities due to the lower critical resolve shear stresses(CRSS).Introduction of TTWs under uniaxial compression improved the strength,ductility,and formability of magnesium(Mg)alloys.Moreover,TTWs produced by multi-directional impact forging(MDIF)can optimize the microstructure by dividing grains and promoting recrystallization,resulting in significant improvement of mechanical properties.Although{10-11}<10-12>compressive twins(CTWs)and{10-11}-{10-12}double twins(DTWs)can promote dynamic recrystallization(DRX),they are also favorable nucleation sites for cracks.In addition,the type and volume fraction of twins can affect the corrosion resistance,and they also play different roles in the corrosion process of different Mg alloys.Twins have shown great potential for improving structure and properties,but a comprehensive and critical discussion of twins in Mg alloys is still lacking.Therefore,based on previous studies,this article reviews the common types and variants of twins in Mg alloys,influencing factors,and their effects on the microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.In addition,some interesting ideas are being proposed for further research.

Numerical and experimental studies on solidification of AZ80 magnesium alloy under out-of-phase pulsed magnetic field

For obtaining the finer grains of magnesium alloy,a novel combined pulsed magnetic field with different initial phases,also called out-ofphase pulsed magnetic field(OPPMF),was applied to study the solidification structure of AZ80 magnesium alloy.The numerical simulation was simultaneously conducted to investigate the refinement mechanisms.The experimental results showed that the macrostructure could be effectively refined by applying external magnetic field.Meanwhile,finer grains were obtained with the higher current intensity.However,the increase of current intensity could only refine the grains to about 0.5 mm.Furthermore,compared to a single pulsed magnetic field(PMF)and alternating series of OPPMF(Connection II),a finer structure was observed when the consecutive series of OPPMF(Connection I)was imposed.In contrast with a single PMF and Connection II,the numerical results showed that the greater axial Lorentz force was obtained under the Connection I,generating the stronger forced flow in the melt.It is believed that abundant nuclei could detach from the mold wall and move faster into the interior melt due to the stronger forced flow;besides,the lower superheat and greater temperature uniformity in bulk melt were realized,accounting for the finest structures under the Connection I.

Structure, Performance, and Application of BiFeO_(3) Nanomaterials

Multiferroic nanomaterials have attracted great interest due to simultaneous two or more properties such as ferroelectricity,ferromagnetism,and ferroelasticity,which can promise a broad application in multifunctional,lowpower consumption,environmentally friendly devices.Bismuth ferrite(BiFeO3,BFO)exhibits both(anti)ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties at room temperature.Thus,it has played an increasingly important role in multiferroic system.In this review,we systematically discussed the developments of BFO nanomaterials including morphology,structures,properties,and potential applications in multiferroic devices with novel functions.Even the opportunities and challenges were all analyzed and summarized.We hope this review can act as an updating and encourage more researchers to push on the development of BFO nanomaterials in the future.

Integrated watershed management:evolution,development and emerging trends

Watershed management is an ever-evolving practice involving the management of land, water, biota, and other resources in a defined area for ecological, social, and economic purposes. In this paper, we explore the following questions： How has watershed management evolved？ What new tools are available and how can they be integrated into sustainable watershed management？ To address these questions, we discuss the process of developing integrated watershed management strategies for sustainable manage- ment through the incorporation of adaptive management techniques and traditional ecological knowledge. We address the numerous benefits from integration acrossdisciplines and jurisdictional boundaries, as well as the incorporation of technological advancements, such as remote sensing, GIS, big data, and multi-level social-eco- logical systems analysis, into watershed management strategies. We use three case studies from China, Europe, and Canada to review the success and failure of integrated watershed management in addressing different ecological, social, and economic dilemmas in geographically diverse locations. Although progress has been made in watershed management strategies, there are still numerous issues impeding successful management outcomes; many of which can be remedied through holistic management approaches, incorporation of cutting-edge science and technology, and cross-jurisdictional coordination. We conclude by high- lighting that future watershed management will need to account for climate change impacts by employing techno- logical advancements and holistic, cross-disciplinary approaches to ensure watersheds continue to serve their ecological, social, and economic functions. We present three case studies in this paper as a valuable resource for scientists, resource managers, government agencies, and other stakeholders aiming to improve integrated watershed management strategies and more efficiently and successfully achieve ecological and socio-economic management objectives.

Numerical simulation of DC casting of AZ31 magnesium slab at different casting speeds

A mathematical model of the direct chill(DC)casting process for AZ31magnesium slab has been developed to predict the temperature evolution in the slab.The temperature fields at different casting speeds were compared and the optimum casting speed of 300 mm×800 mm magnesium slab in the certain pouring temperature and cooling-water flow rate was obtained.The casting speed during the plant trial was consistent with the calculation.

Effect of layered joints on rockburst in deep tunnels

The existence of joints in the surrounding rock mass has a considerable efect on tunnel rockbursts.Herein,we studied the efect of layered joints with diferent inclination angles and spacings on rockburst in deep tunnels and investigated the failure area,deformation process of the surrounding rock mass,stress change inside the surrounding rock mass,velocity of the failed rock,and the kinetic energy of the failure.The failure type of the surrounding rock mass can thus be determined.The results showed that the intensity of rockburst increases as rock quality designation(RQD)decreases,while the deformation rate of the surrounding rock mass frst increases and then decreases.The deformation rate exhibits a turning point between RQD=50 and 70,below which the deformation rate of the surrounding rock mass gradually decreases,ultimately ceasing to be a rockburst.Rockburst always occurs perpendicular to the direction of the joint.Whenσ_(x)=σ_(y),as the joint inclination angle changes from 45°to 90°,the intensity of a rockburst frst decreases(from 45°to 60°),and then increases(from 60°to 90°).When combined with the evolution law of stress and strain energy,the rockburst process can be divided into four stages.
