The data coll...Based on the principle of electrical penetration, the reflection characteristics of collapse columns at different locations of a working face is numerically simulated by using a 3D finite element method. The data collected by the electrical penetration is processed and interpreted using “tunnel penetration” which is similar to radio wave penetration. Reflection characteristics of collapse columns at different locations below floors of coal seams are analyzed, providing a new paradigm and a theoretical foundation for processing and interpreting electrical penetration data. The tomography analysis is made based on data simulation and calculation results and alltransmitting-receiving points are analyzed for their corresponding maximum attenuation values and maximum absorption coefficients. On the basis of this, a new method for precisely interpreting the spatial positions of geological anomalous bodies is suggested. The simulation shows that 1) the detection result of both roof and floors of the working face by electrical penetration is a volumetric effect and 2) there exists a corresponding relation between the detection depth and the working face width, with the op- timal detection depth within 40% of the workin face width.展开更多

The multifaceted nature of these influences makes the surveillance of mass movements a highly intricate task, requiring an understanding of numerous interdependent variables. Recent years have seen an emergence in scholarly research aimed at integrating geophysical and geotechnical methodologies. The conjoint examination of geophysical and geotechnical data offers an enhanced perspective into subsurface structures. Within this work, a methodology is proposed for the synchronous analysis of electrical resistivity geophysical data and geotechnical data, specifically those extracted from the Light Dynamic Penetrometer (DPL) and Standard Penetration Test (SPT). This study involved a linear fitting process to correlate resistivity with N10/SPT N-values from DPL/SPT soundings, culminating in a 2D profile of N10/SPT N-values predicated on electrical profiles. The findings of this research furnish invaluable insights into slope stability by allowing for a two-dimensional representation of penetration resistance properties. Through the synthesis of geophysical and geotechnical data, this project aims to augment the comprehension of subsurface conditions, with potential implications for refining landslide risk evaluations. This endeavor offers insight into the formulation of more effective and precise slope management protocols and disaster prevention strategies.展开更多

The gaseous penetration of Pr into PbTiO_3 ceramics and their improved electric properties were reported. Through XRD, EPMA and SEM analysis,it is confirmed that the gaseous penetration makes Pr enter into PbTiO_3 ceramics, and the new compound of Pr_2Ti_2O_7 is formed by the penetration of Pr in the gaseous state. The formed new Pr_2Ti_2O_7-PbTiO_3 ceramic materials have a significant change in electric properties. The room temperature resistivity decreases from 2.0×10^(10) Ω·m to 9.487 Ω·m. The grain resistance and the grain boundary resistance decrease with increase in temperature, and the PTCR effect disappears. The tendency of transition to a conductive body is manifest.展开更多

The compounds of La2Ti6O15 and CeTi21O38 are formed and the new La2Ti6O15-CeTi21O38-PbTiO3 ceramics are prepared by the penetration of La and Ce in the gaseous state. The new ceramic materials have a significant change in electric properties. The room temperature resistivity decreases from 2.0×1010 to 0.248 Ω. m, and the grain resistance exhibits an obvious PTCR effect with the change of temperature. However, the grain boundary resistance decreases rapidly with increase in temperature. The change rule of the total resistance is similar to that of the grain boundary, and the PTCR effect disappears and the tendency of transition to a conductive body is manifest. The XPS analysis suggests that the particles that are Pb, Ti, La and Ce in La2Ti6O15-CeTi21O38-PbTiO3 ceramics all change their valence and lead to decreasing resistivity, and the bound energy peak values of elements in La2Ti6O15-CeTi21O38-PbTiO3 ceramics are also reported. The La2Ti6O15-CeTi21O38-PbTiO3 ceramics have a better thermal stability in high temperatures through TG-DTA analysis.展开更多

It presents an analysis of factors driving the market diffusion of EVs and the reasons for varying results across the investigated cities and provides estimates of related EV impacts on local energy consumption and CO_2 emissions. A nested multinomial model incorporating technological attributes of vehicles, energy prices, charging conditions,and incentive policies was developed for conducting a scenario analyses covering six cities. The results indicated that in a stagnation scenario in which policy support was absent, the market share of electric vehicles would be less than 7% in all six cities under investigation by 2030. In medium growth and rapid growth scenarios, the market share of EVs across the six cities was projected to be within the ranges of 29%–68% and 49%–80%, respectively. The impacts of EVs on gasoline demand depended not just on their cumulative sales but also on the share of electrified vehicle distance, and the CO_2 emission reduction effect was influenced by local EV stocks and the mix of local electricity sources. Battery costs, charging conditions, and energy prices were primary driving factors. Charging conditions and energy prices were key reasons for differences in the penetration curves among cities. These driving factors were further affected by differences in local income levels, housing and parking conditions, and availability of land resources. Subsidies were found to be effective in the short term, whereas in the medium term,tax breaks could serve as the main monetary incentive. In the long term, national policy should focus on technology-related R&D, whereas local policies should focus on the operational phase and be tailored to specific local situations.展开更多
