Consortium Chain Consensus Vulnerability and Chain Generation Mechanism

Effectively identifying and preventing the threat of Byzantine nodes to the security of distributed systems is a challenge in applying consortium chains.Therefore,this paper proposes a new consortium chain generation model,deeply analyzes the vulnerability of the consortium chain consensus based on the behavior of the nodes,and points out the effects of Byzantine node proportion and node state verification on the consensus process and system security.Furthermore,the normalized verification node aggregation index that represents the consensus ability of the consortium organization and the trust evaluation function of the verification node set is derived.When either of the two is lower than the threshold,the consortium institution or the verification node set members are dynamically adjusted.On this basis,an innovative consortium chain generation mechanism based on the Asynchronous Binary Byzantine Consensus Mechanism(ABBCM)is proposed.Based on the extended consortium chain consensus mechanism,a certain consensus value set can be combined into multiple proposals,which can realize crossdomain asynchronous message passing between multi-consortium chains without reducing the system’s security.In addition,experiments are carried out under four classical Byzantine Attack(BA)behaviors,BA1 to BA4.The results show that the proposed method can obtain better delay than the classical random Byzantine consensus algorithm Coin,effectively improving the consensus efficiency based on asynchronous message passing in the consortium chain and thus meeting the throughput of most Internet of Things(IoT)applications.

Status of research on biogenic coalbed gas generation mechanisms

Biogenic coalbed gas,how it is generated and the geochemical characteristics of the gas are gaining global attention.The ways coalbed gas is generated,the status of research on the generation mechanism and the methods of differentiating between biogenic gasses are discussed.The generation of biogenic coalbed methane is consistent with anaerobic fermentation theory.Commercial biogenic coalbed gas reservoirs are mainly generated by the process of CO2 reduction.The substrates used by the microbes living in the coal include organic compounds,CO2,H2 and acetate.The production ratio and quantity of biogenic coalbed methane depend on the exposed surface area,the solubility and permeability of the coal and the microbial concentration in the coal seam.It is generally believed that biogenic coalbed gas has a value for δ13C1<-5.5%,C1/C1+>0.95.The H isotope ratio is controlled by both the environment and the generation mechanism:typically δD1<-20%.Biogenic methane formed by CO2 reduction has more δD1 than that formed by acetate fermentation.

Mathematical Model and Geometrical Model of Double Pitch ZN-type Worm Gear Set Based on Generation Mechanism

The current researches on the tooth surface mathematical equations and the theory of gearing mainly pay attention to the ordinary type worm gear set（e.g., ZN, ZA, or ZK）. The research of forming mechanism and three-dimensional modeling method for the double pitch worm gear set is not enough. So there are some difficulties in mathematical model deducing and geometry modeling of double pitch ZN-type worm gear set based on generation mechanism. In order to establish the mathematical model and the precise geometric model of double pitch ZN-type worm gear set, the structural characteristics and generation mechanism of the double pitch ZN-type worm gear set are investigated. Mathematical model of the ZN-type worm gear set is derived based on its generation mechanism and the theory of gearing. According to the mathematical model of the worm gear set which has been developed, a geometry modeling method of the double pitch ZN-type worm and worm gear is presented. Furthermore, a geometrical precision calculate method is proposed to evaluate the geometrical quality of the double pitch worm gear set. As a result, the maximum error is less than 6′10–4 mm in magnitude, thus the model of the double pitch ZN-type worm gear set is available to meet the requirements of finite element analysis and engineering application. The derived mathematical model and the proposed geometrical modeling method are helpful to guiding the design, manufacture and contact analysis of the worm gear set.

Diversified roles of mineral transformation in controlling hydrocarbon generation process,mechanism,and pattern

Organic matter(OM)is intimately associated with minerals in clay-rich mudstones,leading to widespread organic-mineral interaction during hydrocarbon generation in argillaceous source rocks.What we are concerned is the effects of the different mineral properties on hydrocarbon generation process and mechanism during mineral transformation.In this way,pyrolysis experiments with smectite-octadecanoic acid complexes(Sm-OA and Ex-Sm-OA)were conducted to analyze correlation of mineralogy and pyrolysis behaviors.Based on organicmineral interaction,hydrocarbon generation process was divided into three phases.At 200–300℃,collapse of smectite led to desorption of OM,resulting in high yield of resin and slight increase in saturates.Subsequently,enhanced smectite illitization at 350–450℃was accompanied with large amounts of saturates and a mere gaseous hydrocarbon.Featured by neoformed plagioclase,ankerite,and illite,500C saw plenty of asphaltene and methane-rich gaseous hydrocarbons,revealing cracking reactions of OM.Noteworthy is that saturated and gaseous hydrocarbons in Ex-Sm-OA were considerably more than that in Sm-OA during second and third phases.Quantitative calculation of hydrogen revealed organic hydrogen provided by cross-linking of OM could not balance hydrogen consumed by cracking reactions,but supply of inorganic hydrogen ensured cracking could readily occur and consequently greatly promoted hydrocarbon generation.Further investigating characteristics of mineralogy and pyrolytic products,as well as effects of solid acidity on hydrocarbon generation,we concluded desorption of OM and decarboxylation promoted by Lewis acid were dominated at 200–300C,resulting in lowdegree hydrocarbon generation.While high yield of saturated and gaseous hydrocarbons in second and third phases,together with occurrence of ankerite,indicated predominance of decarboxylation and hydrogenation promoted by Lewis and Brønsted acid,respectively.Variations in organic-mineral interactions indicated(1)the controls of mineral transformation on hydrocarbon generation process and mechanism include desorption,decarboxylation,and hydrogenation reactions;(2)clay minerals acted as reactants evolving together with OM rather than catalysts.These findings are profoundly significant for understanding the hydrocarbon generation mechanisms,organic-inorganic interactions,and carbon cycle.

Study on generation mechanism of anomalous acoustic-gravity waves before the 2011 Beijing earthquake(M_L=3.0)

Observation results of abnormal acoustic-gravity waves before a Beijing earthquake （ML =3.0） are presented. During this period, abnormalities of earth surface tilt variations were also recorded. The cross-correlations between the both values are high, which reach maximal values of 0.5 in the area close to the epicenter. The correlations decrease with increasing distances from the epicenter. It was proposed that generation of the anomalous waves may be associated with the pressure and wind perturbations in the air flow caused by slowly shaking mountains during slow surface motion preceding the earthquake in Beijing. Based on the wind velocity data taken from a 350 m meteorological tower in Beijing, the propagation of ducted acoustic-gravity waves in a two-layer model of the atmosphere was numerically simulated. It is shown that characteristic periods, amplitudes and velocities of the simulated phases which were assumed from non-stationary air flow relative to mountains are approximate to the observed phases. A consistency between the simulated results and observation data indicates that a slow surface motion may be a possible source of the anomalous acoustic-gravity waves observed prior to the earthquake.

Mechanisms of Spin-Dependent Heat Generation in Spin Valves

The extra heat generation in spin transport is usually interpreted in terms of the spin relaxation. Reformulating the heat generation rate, we find alternative current-force pairs without cross effects, which enable us to interpret the product of each pair as a distinct mechanism of heat generation. The results show that the spin-dependent part of the heat generation includes two terms. One is proportional to the square of the spin accumulation and arises from the spin relaxation. However, the other is proportional to the square of the spin-accumulation gradient and should be attributed to another mechanism, the spin diffusion. We illustrate the characteristics of the two mechanisms in a typical spin valve with a finite nonmagnetic spacer layer.

Preparatory mechanism of Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake evidenced by crust-deformation data

Some crustal-deformation data related to the Ms8.0 Wenchuan in 2008, was described and a model that is capable of explaining the observed deformation features is presented. The data include ： pre-earthquake uplift in an area south of the epicenter obtained by repeated-leveling measurements ; pre-earthquake horizontal deformation by GPS observation during two periods in Sichuan-Yunnan area;vertical deformation along a short cross-fault leveling line in the epicenter area; and co-seismic near-field vertical and horizontal crustal-move- ment data by GPS. The model is basically ＂elastic-rebound＂, but involves a zone between two local faults that was squeezed out at the time of earthquake. ：

Geochemical characteristics,generation,and evolution mechanism of coalbed methane in the south-western Ordos Basin,China

The south-western Ordos Basin is rich in low-middle rank coalbed methane(CBM)resources;while the geochemical characteristics and genetic mechanism of CBM are not clear.Herein,according to geological and geochemical test data from gas and coal seam water from CBM wells in Bingchang,Jiaoxun,Huangling,Yonglong,and Longdong minging areas,we systematically studied the geochemical characteristics,generation,and evolution mechanism of CBM in Jurassic Yan’an Formation in the south-western Ordos Basin.The results show that the CH4 content of whole gas is in the range of 42.01%-94.72%.The distribution ranges of theδ^(13)C-CH_(4)value is−87.2‰to−32.5‰,indicating diverse sources of thermogenic gas and biogenic gas.The microbial methane is mainly generated by a CO_(2)reduction pathway,with certain methyl-type fermentation spots.Theδ^(13)C-CH_(4)has a positive correlation with burial depth,indicating the obvious fractionation of CBM.The relationship between the genetic types and burial depth of the CBM reservoir indicates that the favorable depth of secondary biogenic gas is less than 660 m.The Late Cretaceous Yanshanian Movement led to the uplift of the Ordos Basin,and a large amount of thermogenic gas escaped from the edge of the basin.Since the Paleogene Period,the coal reservoir in the basin margin has received recharge from atmospheric precipitation,which is favorable for the formation of secondary biogenic methane.The deep area,generally under 1000 m,mainly contains residual thermogenic gas.The intermediate transition zone is mixed gas.Constrained by the tectonic background,the genetic types of CBM in different mining areas are controlled by the coupling of burial depth,coal rank,and hydrogeological conditions.The Binchang mining area contains biogenic gas,and the development of CBM has achieved initial success,indicating that similar blocks with biogenic gas formation conditions is key to the efficient development of CBM.The research results provide a scientific basis for searching for favorable exploration areas of CBM in the south-western Ordos Basin.

Sediment generation and soil mound denudation in areas of high-density tree throw along a river valley in the Jura Mountains, Switzerland

A preliminary field-based investigation was undertaken in a small(<10 km^(2))river valley located in the mountainous Jura region of northwest Switzerland.The aims of the work were to assess sediment generation and annual sediment transport rates by tree throw on forested hillslopes,and to document surface hydrology characteristics on four fresh soil mounds associated with recent tree throws over a 24-day monitoring period.For the soil mounds,average sediment recovery ranged from 7.7-28.2 g(dry weight),equivalent to a suspended sediment concentration of 145.2-327.8 g L^(-1),and runoff coefficients ranged from 1.0%-4.2%.Based on a soil bulk density value of 1,044 kg m^(-3),upslope runoff generation areas were denuded by an average 0.14 mm by the end of the 24-day monitoring period,representing an erosion rate equivalent to 2.1 mm yr^(-1).A ca.50 cm high soil mound could therefore feasibly persist for around 200-250 years.For tree throw work,the dimensions of 215 individual tree throws were measured and their locations mapped in 12 separate locations along the river valley representing a cumulative area equivalent to 5.3 ha(av.density,43 per ha).Tree throws generated a total of 20.1 m^(3) of fine-sediment(<2 mm diameter),or the equivalent of 3.8×10^(-4) m^(3) m^(-2).The process of tree throw was originally attributed to two extreme weather events that occurred in west and central Europe in late December 1999.Taking the 18-year period since both storms,this represents an annual sediment transport rate of 2.7×10^(-5) m^(3) m^(-1) yr^(-1).Exploring the relationship with wind on fall direction,65.5%of tree throws(143)generally fell in a downslope direction irrespective of hillslope aspect on which they were located.This infers that individual storms may not have been responsible for the majority of tree throws,but instead,could be associated with root failure.Given the high density of tree throws and their relative maturity(average age 41 years),we hypothesise that once trees attain a certain age in this river valley,their physiognomy(i.e.height,mass and centre of gravity)compromises their ability to remain securely anchored.We tentatively attribute this possibility to the presence of bedrock close to the surface,and to the shallow soil profile overlaying steep hillslopes.

Excess Coalbed Methane Production Mechanism in the Process of Coal Tectonic Deformation

Source and occurrence of Excess Coalbed Methane is a long-term concern research topic in Coal Geology and Structural Geology. Since it is essential to understand the outburst mechanism of coal gas, and to support the coalbed methane development projects as the theoretical basis. We found in the study that, huge imparity is behind the evolutionary trend on molecular structure and the mechanism of influence from different deformation. The thesis demonstrates its probable routes of gas evolution according to distinct deformation mechanisms of coal. In the role of brittle deformation mechanism, a rapidly formed advantage rupture surface along with sliding motion from which has worked on coal. As another result, mechanical energy has transformed into friction and kinetic energy during the process. Kinetic energy increases simultaneously, which brings some results, that the new generated gas molecule. While the chemical structure of coal remains in a steady-state and do not react easily an outburst with gas. Mechanical energy turns into strain energy through its ductile deformation mechanism. The dislocation or lamellar slip made disordered between the constitutional units of aromatic rings and aromatic lamellas, as soon as secondary structural defects created. On another hand, molecular motion accelerates and splits off the small molecular on the side chain, due to the dissociation of aromatic nucleus;CH4 gas molecular was generated and placed in the secondary structural defect of coal, along with a great deal of strain energy in non-steady-state. By breaking away the balance maintaining terms, huge strain energy releases suddenly, small moleculars are free from the secondary structure defect, react outburst with gas. Furthermore to extend the discussion of the conventional physical ideas on coal absorb gas, according to the phenomenon of exceeded CBM, the gas molecular has a significant chance existing in a low bond energy of chemical bonds of coal structure.

Analysis of Multiple Annular Pressure in Gas Storage Well and High-Pressure Gas Well

In gas storage or high-pressure gas wells,annular pressure is an unavoidable threat to safe,long-term resource production.The more complex situation,however,is multiple annular pressure,which means annular pressure happens in not only one annulus but two or more.Such a situation brings serious challenges to the identification of well integrity.However,few researches analyze the phenomenon of multiple annular pressure.Therefore,this paper studies the mechanism of multi-annular pressure to provide a foundation for its prevention and diagnosis.Firstly,the multi-annular pressure is classified according to the mechanism and field data.Then the failure mechanism and function of the wellbore safety barriers in the process of passage formation are analyzed.Finally,some suggestions are put forward for identifying and controlling multi-annular pressure.The results show that gas storage wells and high-pressure gas wells have the conditions to generate pressure channels,which leads to the expansion of annular pressure from a single annulus to multiple annuli.The pressure channel is composed of the tubing string,casing string,and a cement mantle,and the failures among the three have causal and hierarchical relationships.According to the channel direction,it can be divided into two types:tubing-casing annulus to casing annulus and casing annulus to the tubing-casing annulus,of which the former is more harmful.Some measures can be considered to prevent pressure channeling,including improvement of cementing quality,revision of maximum allowable annular pressure,and suitable frequency of pressure relief.

高压直流换流站中滤波电容器的振动与可听噪声(英文)

The filter capacitor stack is one of the main acoustic noise sources in high-voltage DC(HVDC) converter stations.As HVDC systems are built more and more recently,it is significant to research the audible noise of filter capacitors.In this paper,the current situation of research on vibration and audible noise of filter capacitors in HVDC converter stations,which is departed into three parts—generation mechanism,prediction methods,and reduction measures,is presented and the research achievements are discussed.Scholars have built the model that the alternating electric force caused by the voltage conduces to the vibration,which propagates to the enclosure and radiates audible noise.As a result,the parts contributing most to the generation of audible noise are the top and the bottom of capacitors. In the noise level prediction respect,several methods have been prospected including impact hammer,sweep frequency, impact current,monopole and Kirchhoff formula method,which are suitable for single capacitors or capacitors stacks individually.However,the sweep frequency method is restricted by experiment condition,and the impact current method needs further research and verified.On the other hand,CIGRE WG14.26 provides three sound reduction measures,but all of them are not so practicable,while MPP absorber and compressible space absorber prospected by Dr.Wu Peng are proved to be effective.The sound barriers are also considered by scholars,and the acoustic directivity performance of capacitors is also researched.Besides,the developing direction of each research field is prospected in corresponding part.

Analysis of Machinable Structures and Their Wettability of Rotary Ultrasonic Texturing Method

Tailored surface textures at the micro- or nanoscale dimensions are widely used to get required functional performances. Rotary ultrasonic texturing （RUT） technique has been proved to be capable of fabricating periodic micro- and nanostructures. In the present study, diamond tools with geometrically defined cutting edges were designed for fabricating different types of tailored surface textures using the RUT method. Surface generation mechanisms and machinable structures of the RUT process are analyzed and simulated with a 3D-CAD program. Textured surfaces generated by using a triangular pyramid cutting tip are constructed. Different textural patterns from several micrometers to several tens of micrometers with few burrs were successfully fabricated, which proved that tools with a proper two-rake-face design are capable of removing cutting chips efficiently along a sinusoidal cutting locus in the RUT process. Technical applications of the textured surfaces are also discussed. Wetting properties of textured aluminum surfaces were evaluated by combining the test of surface roughness features. The results show that the real surface area of the textured aluminum surfaces almost doubled by comparing with that of a flat surface, and anisotropic wetting properties were obtained due to the obvious directional textural features.

Assessment of recoverable oil and gas resources by in-situ conversion of shale——Case study of extracting the Chang 7_(3) shale in the Ordos Basin

The purpose of this study is to investigate the entire evolution process of shales with various total organic contents(TOC)in order to build models for quantitative evaluation of oil and gas yields and establish methods for assessing recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion of organic matters in shale.Thermal simulation experiments under in-situ conversion conditions were conducted on Chang 7_(3) shales from the Ordos Basin in a semi-open system with large capacity.The results showed that TOC and R_(o) were the key factors affecting the in-situ transformation potential of shale.The remaining oil and gas yields increased linearly with TOC but inconsistently with R_(o).R_(o) ranged 0.75%—1.25%and 1.05%—2.3%,respectively,corresponding to the main oil generation stage and gas generation stage of shale in-situ transformation.Thus a model to evaluate the remaining oil/gas yield with TOC and R_(o) was obtained.The TOC of shale suitable for in-situ conversion should be greater than 6%,whereas its R_(o) should be less than 1.0%.Shales with 0.75%(R_(o))could obtain the best economic benefit.The results provided a theoretical basis and evaluation methodology for predicting the hydrocarbon resources from in-situ conversion of shale and for the identification of the optimum“sweet spots”.The assessment of the Chang 7_(3) shale in the Ordos Basin indicated that the recoverable oil and gas resources from in-situ conversion of organic matters in shale are substantial,with oil and gas resources reaching approximately 450×10^(8) t and 30×10^(12)m^(3),respectively,from an area of 4.27×10^(4) km^(2).

Characteristics of the quasi-16-day wave in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region as revealed by meteor radar,Aura satellite,and MERRA2 reanalysis data from 2008 to 2017

This study presents an analysis of the quasi-16-day wave(Q16DW)at three stations in the middle latitudes by using a meteor radar chain in conjunction with Aura Microwave Limb Sounder temperature data and MERRA2(Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications,Version 2)reanalysis data from 2008 to 2017.The radar chain consists of three meteor radar stations located at Mohe(MH,53.5°N,122.3°E),Beijing(BJ,40.3°N,116.2°E),and Wuhan(WH,30.5°N,114.6°E).The Q16DW wave exhibits similar seasonal variation in the neutral wind and temperature,and the Q16DW amplitude is generally strong during winter and weak around summer.The Q16DW at BJ was found to have secondary enhancement around September in the zonal wind,which is rarely reported at similar latitudes.The latitudinal variations of the Q16DW in the neutral wind and temperature are quite different.The Q16DW at BJ is the most prominent in both neutral wind components among the three stations and the Q16DW amplitudes at MH and WH are comparable,whereas the wave amplitude in temperature decreases with decreasing latitude.The quasi-geostrophic refractive index squared at the three stations in the period from 2008 to 2017 was revealed.The results indicate that the Q16DW in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere(MLT)at MH has a limited contribution from the lower atmosphere.Around March and October,the Q16DW in the troposphere at BJ can propagate upward into the MLT region,whereas at WH,the contribution to the Q16DW in the MLT region is largely from the mesosphere.

Atmospheric frontal gravity waves observed in satellite SAR images of the Bohai Sea and Huanghai Sea

In the satellite synthetic aperture radar（SAR） images of the Bohai Sea and Huanghai Sea,the authors observe sea surface imprints of wave-like patterns with an average wavelength of 3.8 km.Comparing SAR observations with sea surface wind fields and surface weather maps,the authors find that the occurrence of the wave-like phenomena is associated with the passing of atmospheric front.The authors define the waves as atmospheric frontal gravity waves.The dynamical parameters of the wave packets are derived from statistics of 9 satellite SAR images obtained from 2002 to 2008.A two-dimensional linear physical wave model is used to analyze the generation mechanism of the waves.The atmospheric frontal wave induced wind variation across the frontal wave packet is compared with wind retrievals from the SAR images.The CMOD-5（C-band scatterometer ocean geophysical model function） is used for SAR wind retrievals VV（transmitted vertical and received vertical） for ENVISAT and HH（transmitted horizontally and received horizontally） for RADARSAT-1.A reasonable agreement between the analytical solution and the SAR observation is reached.This new SAR frontal wave observation adds to the school of SAR observations of sea surface imprints of AGWs including island lee waves,coastal lee waves,and upstream Atmospheric Gravity Waves（AGW）.

Graphene-based heterojunction for enhanced photodetectors

Graphene has high light transmittance of 97.7% and ultrafast carrier mobility, which means it has attracted widespread attention in two-dimensional materials. However, the optical absorptivity of single-layer graphene is only 2.3%, and the corresponding photoresponsivity is difficult to produce at normal light irradiation. And the low on–off ratio resulting from the zero bandgap makes it unsuitable for many electronic devices, hindering potential development. The graphene-based heterojunction composed of graphene and other materials has outstanding optical and electrical properties, which can mutually modify the defects of both the graphene and material making it then suitable for optoelectronic devices. In this review,the advantages of graphene-based heterojunctions in the enhancement of the performance of photodetectors are reviewed.Firstly, we focus on the photocurrent generation mechanism of a graphene-based heterojunction photodetector, especially photovoltaic, photoconduction and photogating effects. Secondly, the classification of graphene-based heterojunctions in different directions is summarized. Meanwhile, the latest research progress of graphene-transition metal dichalcogenide(TMD) heterojunction photodetectors with excellent performance in graphene-based heterostructures is introduced. Finally,the difficulties faced by the existing technologies of graphene-based photodetectors are discussed, and further prospects are proposed.
