Heavy metal residue...Heavy metal contamination in agricultural products is a global food safety and environmental problem that is easily affected by soil, atmospheric environment, water, and anthropogenic environments. Heavy metal residues such as cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury, and arsenic have the characteristics of non-degradability, strong bioaccumulation, and high toxicity. They can migrate and accumulate in soil-crop systems, and ultimately enter the human body through dietary intake, causing potential chronic toxicity and genetic damage. Different environmental conditions produce significant differentiation effects on heavy metal enrichment, residual characteristics, and existing forms in agricultural products, which further affects the accuracy of residue detection and the rationality of risk assessment. This paper systematically analyzes the enrichment rules of heavy metal residues in typical agricultural products under an industrial polluted environment, an agricultural intensive planting environment, an urban fringe environment, and a remote clean ecological environment. It discusses the interference mechanism of different environmental factors on conventional heavy metal detection technologies, summarizes the technical difficulties of qualitative and quantitative detection in complex environmental backgrounds, and constructs a standardized food safety risk assessment system covering dietary exposure risk and potential ecological risk. The study clarifies the correlation between environmental heterogeneity, heavy metal residual levels, and human health risks and proposes targeted detection optimization schemes and risk prevention strategies to provide scientific technical support for agricultural product safety supervision, environmental pollution control, and human health protection.展开更多

摘要Blockage commonly occurs in and severally affects natural gas(mainly methane)reservoir exploitation,combustion ice(methane hydrate)exploitation and oil and gas pipeline transportation.The formation of methane hydrates is known as one important cause of blockage,but the effects of hydrate distribution on seepage and blockage are rarely studied in experiments.This study employed different proportions of dry and wet sands to simulate three thickness of hydrate-bearing porous media and obtained a uniform kinetic relationship of hydrate formation(N=K(■)).Quantitative results indicate that both water and methane seepage can induce hydrate saturation increase in both hydrate-bearing and hydrate-free zones,which gradually causes the blockage of up to 12.5 MPa(at 6.0 MPa backpressure).The hydratebearing porous media with a uniform saturation is not easy to cause blockage unless the hydrate saturation is high enough.In addition,based on the hydrate-bearing porous media with different thicknesses,this study successively measured the water phase permeability.In addition,the calculation method for blockage location based on pressure evolution was proposed with an error of less than 8%.These findings can help understand and mitigate issues related to flow blockages during oil and gas exploitation and transportation.

摘要SiCp-reinforced 6092Al composites with volume fractions of 25%and 60%were prepared using a powder metallurgy method.Their friction and wear characteristics were analyzed using a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine under loads of 20 to 50 N against YG6 cemented carbide.The experimental results show that the friction coefficients of all samples increase with increasing load.The 25vol%composite exhibits the lowest friction coefficient(0.1669-0.2716),while the 60vol%composite exhibits the highest(0.3237-0.3990),with the 6092 aluminum alloy falling between the two.The wear volume and specific wear rate also increase with load,but the composites with a higher Si C content demonstrate smaller increments,with the 60vol%composite exhibiting superior wear resistance.Under a 30 N load,the wear scars of the 60vol%composite show a significant increase in the contents of elements such as C,Co,W,and O,indicating more severe wear of the counterpart material.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)reveals wear mechanisms including adhesive wear,two-body sliding and three-body rolling wear of particles,and delamination.

摘要A precise frequency measurement and analysis method utilizing the concept of the different frequency phase synchronization fuzzy region is presented based on the principle of phase synchronization detection.Initially,the frequency of the measured signal was roughly estimated by using the traditional high-precision time and frequency detection technology.Subsequently,the frequency estimated was fed into a direct digital synthesizer(DDS)to generate a real-time frequency standard signal that exhibited a slight frequency deviation relative to the measured signal.The edge pulses of the different frequency phase synchronization fuzzy region served as counter switch signals,enabling the counting of both the detected signal and the real-time frequency standard signal within a specified gate time.Through subsequent data processing of the obtained values,the frequency,frequency difference,and frequency accuracy of the detected signal could be determined.Experimental results demonstrate that the system based on this method achieves a frequency stability of 10−13 at 1 s,with a frequency deviation of less than 3 Hz.Compared with traditional frequency measurement and analysis methods,this approach has many advantages,especially its fast response time of less than 1 ms,high measurement accuracy of more than 10−11 at 1 s,high integration with only one FPGA chip,and cost of less than 1000 yuan.It is widely applied in the fields of time and frequency services and security technology of the Beidou satellite(BDS)navigation system,such as BDS pseudo-range measurement,Beidou positioning,navigation and time services,as well as precise time and frequency measurement and control,etc.
摘要Heavy metal contamination in agricultural products is a global food safety and environmental problem that is easily affected by soil, atmospheric environment, water, and anthropogenic environments. Heavy metal residues such as cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury, and arsenic have the characteristics of non-degradability, strong bioaccumulation, and high toxicity. They can migrate and accumulate in soil-crop systems, and ultimately enter the human body through dietary intake, causing potential chronic toxicity and genetic damage. Different environmental conditions produce significant differentiation effects on heavy metal enrichment, residual characteristics, and existing forms in agricultural products, which further affects the accuracy of residue detection and the rationality of risk assessment. This paper systematically analyzes the enrichment rules of heavy metal residues in typical agricultural products under an industrial polluted environment, an agricultural intensive planting environment, an urban fringe environment, and a remote clean ecological environment. It discusses the interference mechanism of different environmental factors on conventional heavy metal detection technologies, summarizes the technical difficulties of qualitative and quantitative detection in complex environmental backgrounds, and constructs a standardized food safety risk assessment system covering dietary exposure risk and potential ecological risk. The study clarifies the correlation between environmental heterogeneity, heavy metal residual levels, and human health risks and proposes targeted detection optimization schemes and risk prevention strategies to provide scientific technical support for agricultural product safety supervision, environmental pollution control, and human health protection.

摘要Gastric cancer(GC)remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide1.Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection is the dominant etiologic factor2,yet GC also arises in individuals without infection or after eradication,suggesting alternative carcinogenic pathways3.Accordingly,increasing attention has been paid to potential differences between H.pylori-negative and-positive GC.Clinicopathologic differences by H.pylori infection status have been reported but most evidence derives from case-control studies in which infection status assessed at diagnosis is prone to misclassification due to prior eradication,spontaneous clearance,or tumor-related changes.As a result,prospective data defining the long-term clinical and biological imprint of baseline H.pylori status are limited.

摘要Accurately assessing the relationship between tree growth and climatic factors is of great importance in dendrochronology.This study evaluated the consistency between alternative climate datasets(including station and gridded data)and actual climate data(fixed-point observations near the sampling sites),in northeastern China’s warm temperate zone and analyzed differences in their correlations with tree-ring width index.The results were:(1)Gridded temperature data,as well as precipitation and relative humidity data from the Huailai meteorological station,was more consistent with the actual climate data;in contrast,gridded soil moisture content data showed significant discrepancies.(2)Horizontal distance had a greater impact on the representativeness of actual climate conditions than vertical elevation differences.(3)Differences in consistency between alternative and actual climate data also affected their correlations with tree-ring width indices.In some growing season months,correlation coefficients,both in magnitude and sign,differed significantly from those based on actual data.The selection of different alternative climate datasets can lead to biased results in assessing forest responses to climate change,which is detrimental to the management of forest ecosystems in harsh environments.Therefore,the scientific and rational selection of alternative climate data is essential for dendroecological and climatological research.

摘要Improving the comprehensive performance of anion exchange membranes(AEMs)has a decisive impact on the wide application of anion exchange membrane fuel cells(AEMFCs).Herein,we prepared a series of new poly(phenanthrene-co-p-terphenyl piperidinium)(PPTP3Fx-DIL)AEMs with different fluorinated monomers for high performance AEMFCs.The polymerization of fluorinated monomers with other aryl monomers can effectively promote the separation of microphase in the membrane.It also has a high OH-conductivity at a low swelling.The membrane(PPTP3F4-DIL)prepared by polycondensation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(p-tolyl)ethan 1-one monomer achieves a high conductivity of 168.5 mS cm-1at 80℃.At the same time,the water uptake is 40.0%and the swelling ratio is 12.1%.In addition,these membranes also have good mechanical properties and alkaline stability.After 1440 h of treatment in a NaOH(2 M)solution at 80℃,PPTP3Fx-DIL still maintains excellent tensile strength(>30.3 MPa)and elongation at break(>43.4%),and the conductivity retention of the PPTP3F1-DIL membrane is 90.3%.The PPTP3F4-DIL-based single cell exhibits a high peak power density(918.1 mW cm-2)and excellent durability(100 h)at 80℃.Therefore,these PPTP3Fx-DIL membranes have a wide range of applications in AEMFCs.

摘要Understanding the characteristics of windsand flow field in the curve section of desert highway under different wind directions is helpful for reducing the wind-sand damage in the curve section.Therefore,taking the desert section of Wuma Expressway in Zhongwei city,Ningxia,China as the research background,the wind-sand flow field and sand accumulation phenomenon of concave surface plane curve embankment under different wind directions is calculated and analyzed by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)numerical simulation method.The results show that:(1)Under different wind directions,along the direction of the route,at the starting point of the route,the windward slope of the embankment is a circular arc section,which reduces the resistance of wind-sand flow and promotes the acceleration of sand particles.In the middle of the route,the low-speed area of the windward slope toe and the leeward slope toe is small;at the end of the route,the high-speed area on the shoulder side of the leeward road rises upward.(2)Under different wind directions,the smaller the angle between the wind direction and the route,the stronger the lateral transport effect on the wind-blown sand flow,and the more sand particles transported along the route direction.(3)Under different wind directions,in the concave windward horizontal curve,with the increase of the angle,the sand area on the top of the embankment shows an increasing trend.Whenα=30°,45°,60°,75°,the percentage of the sand area on the top of the embankment to the total embankment area is 0%,33.3%,64.4%,71.0%,respectively.(4)Under different wind directions,along the route direction,the sand transport efficiency of the concave surface upwind plane curve embankment shows a decreasing trend.In the case of a certain radius of the horizontal curve,the angle range between the wind direction and the concave horizontal curve route is recommended to be 30°-45°.

摘要As emerging services continue to be explored,indoor communications geared towards different user requirements will face severe challenges such as larger penetration losses and more critical multipath issues,leading to difficulties in achieving flexible coverage.In this paper,we introduce transmissive reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)as intelligent passive auxiliary devices into indoor scenes,replacing conventional ultra-dense small cell and relay forwarding approaches to address these issues at low deployment and operation costs.Specifically,we study the optimization design of active and passive beamforming for the transmissive RISs-aided indoor multiuser downlink communication systems.This involves considering more realistic indoor congestion modeling and near-field propagation characteristics.The goal of our optimization is to minimize the total transmit power at the access point(AP)for different user service requirements,including quality-of-service(QoS)and wireless power transfer(WPT).Due to the nonconvex nature of the optimization problem,adaptive penalty coefficients are imported to solve it alternatively with closed-form solutions for both active and passive beamforming.Simulation results demonstrate that the use of transmissive RISs is indeed an efficient way to achieve flexible coverage in indoor scenarios.Furthermore,the proposed optimization algorithm has been proven to be effective and robust in achieving energy-saving transmission.

摘要The determination of discontinuity shear strength is an important concern in rock engineering.Previous research mainly focused on the shear behavior of discontinuities with identical joint wall compressive strengths(DIJCS).However,the shear behavior of discontinuities with different joint wall compressive strengths(DDJCS)and 3D surface morphology had been rarely reported.In this study,matched mortar DDJCSs were prepared using 3D printed photosensitive resin molds.Direct shear tests were carried out under three kinds of normal stress(ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 MPa)to analyze the shear strength and contact zones of DDJCS during shearing.The results show that the contact zones of DDJCS during shearing are scattered in the steep zones facing the shear direction.It is verified that Grasselli and Develi’s directional surface roughness characterization method can be used to predict the shear-induced potential contact zones of DDJCS.When the critical apparent dip angle is equal to the peak dilation angle,the predicted contact area agrees well with the actual contact area.A 3D directional roughness parameter with clear physical meaning was introduced to characterize discontinuity surface roughness.A 3D modified joint roughness coefficient-joint wall compressive strength(JRC-JCS)criterion that can both predict the shear strength of DDJCS and DIJCS was proposed based on the newly defined roughness parameter.The proposed criterion was validated by 77 direct shear tests presented by this study and 163 direct shear tests presented by other investigators.The results show that the proposed criterion was generally reliable for the peak shear strength prediction of DDJCS and DIJCS(within 16%).It is also found that the new criterion can capture the anisotropy of the peak shear strength of DDJCS.The anisotropy of DDJCS decreases with increasing normal stress.It should be noted that the anisotropy of the shear strength of DDJCS was not investigated experimentally,and further experiments should be conducted to verify it.

摘要In rock mass and mining engineering,shock waves induced by engineering disturbances significantly affect rock mass stability.To explore the dynamic mechanical behavior and energy dissipation mechanisms of single-fractured composite rock masses under impact loading,a series of tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)system with a 50 mm rod diameter.Specimens containing a single inclined fracture with seven different dip angles and located in different lithological layers were tested.The results show that both peak stress and peak strain exhibit a non-monotonic trend with increasing dip angleα-first decreasing,then increasing,reaching a minimum atα=45°.This behavior is attributed to enhanced energy concentration and dissipation in the fracture zone,where shear-dominated failure leads to more effective crack propagation and stress redistribution.Moreover,the proportion of crushing energy dissipation is significantly affected by the fracture dip angle,reaching a minimum atα=45°and a maximum atα=90°,indicating a transition from shear to tensile failure modes with increasing angle.Lithology also plays a crucial role:grey sandstone specimens absorbed more energy compared to yellow sandstone,implying higher impact resistance due to differences in microstructural cohesion.The evolution of fragment fractal dimension with increasing dip angle follows an"M-shaped"trend,reflecting changes in fragmentation intensity and failure mode.Notably,yellow sandstone tends to produce higher fractal dimensions,with larger mass but smaller volume of powdered debris,indicating more intense fragmentation.This study reveals the coupling effect of fracture dip angle and lithology on dynamic mechanical response and energy evolution,providing new insights into the failure mechanisms of layered composite rock masses under impact loading.

摘要Dental mesenchymal stem cells(DMSCs)are pivotal for tooth development and periodontal tissue health and play an important role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of their multidirectional differentiation potential and self-renewal ability.The cellular microenvironment regulates the fate of stem cells and can be modified using various optimization techniques.These methods can influence the cellular microenvironment,activate disparate signaling pathways,and induce different biological effects.“Epigenetic regulation”refers to the process of influencing gene expression and regulating cell fate without altering DNA sequences,such as histone methylation.Histone methylation modifications regulate pivotal transcription factors governing DMSCs differentiation into osteo-/odontogenic lineages.The most important sites of histone methylation in tooth organization were found to be H3K4,H3K9,and H3K27.Histone methylation affects gene expression and regulates stem cell differentiation by maintaining a delicate balance between major trimethylation sites,generating distinct chromatin structures associated with specific downstream transcriptional states.Several crucial signaling pathways associated with osteogenic differentiation are susceptible to modulation via histone methylation modifications.A deeper understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing histone methylation modifications in osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and immune-inflammatory responses of DMSCs will facilitate further investigation of the epigenetic regulation of histone methylation in DMSC-mediated tissue regeneration and inflammation.Here is a concise overview of the pivotal functions of epigenetic histone methylation at H3K4,H3K9,and H3K27 in the regulation of osteo-/odontogenic differentiation and renewal of DMSCs in both non-inflammatory and inflammatory microenvironments.This review summarizes the current research on these processes in the context of tissue regeneration and therapeutic interventions.

摘要Reasonable greening design can effectively alleviate campus heat environment issues.This study uses the ENVI-met numerical model,along with in-situ observations and simulations,to analyze the thermal environment under three different greening schemes in typical areas of the Guangzhou University campus.The results indicate that the outdoor thermal environment is significantly influenced by the underlying surface materials and vegetation.The temperature of brick-paved surface is 0.9℃higher than that of natural soil surfaces under tree shade.Numerical simulations further confirm that increasing vegetation coverage effectively reduces outdoor air temperature.When the greening rate increases to 40%,the outdoor average temperature decreases by 0.7℃and relative humidity increases by approximately 4%,while wind speed remains minimal change.The cooling effect of vegetation is found to extend vertically to an altitude of 13 m.As the greening rate increases from 15%to 40%,the Mean Radiant Temperature(MRT)decreases from 50.6℃to 28.9℃,which is lower than the average ambient temperature,indicating improved thermal conditions.The Physiological Equivalent Temperature(PET)decreases from 40.2℃to 30.0℃,with the proportion of the areas classified as″very hot″reducing by 36.8%,significantly improving thermal comfort across most areas.Therefore,changing the ground material and greening landscape design can effectively alter the outdoor wind and thermal environment of the campus,thereby enhancing the thermal comfort for the campus community.

摘要Group living is widespread across diverse taxa,and the mechanisms underlying collective decision-making in contexts of variable role division are critical for understanding the dynamics of group stability.While studies on collective behavior in small animals such as fish and insects are well-established,similar research on large wild animals remains challenging due to the limited availability of sufficient and systematic field data.Here,we aimed to explore the collective decision-making pattern and its sexual difference for the dimorphic Tibetan antelopes Pantholops hodgsonii(chiru)in Xizang Autonomous Region,China,by analyzing individual leadership distribution,as well as the joining process,considering factors such as calving stages and joining ranks.The distinct correlations of decision participants’ratio with group size and decision duration underscore the trade-off between accuracy and speed in decision-making.Male antelopes display a more democratic decision-making pattern,while females exhibit more prompt responses after calving at an early stage.This study uncovers a partially shared decision-making strategy among Tibetan antelopes,suggesting flexible self-organization in group decision processes aligned with animal life cycle progression.
摘要The main purpose of this research is to optimize the hydrothermal performance of a dimpled tube by augmenting the surface area for heat transmission and thermal layer cracking.To achieve that,the impact of different dimple diameters and their distribution along the dimpled tube was investigated numerically using the ANSYS Fluent 2022 R1 software by considering two models,A and B.Both models consist of three regions;the first,second,and third have dimple diameters of 3,2,&1 mm,respectively.Model A included an in-line dimple arrangement,while model B involved a staggered dimple arrangement.The finite volume method(FVM)was used in the modeling techniques to address the turbulent flow problem,which ranged in this investigation from Re of 3000 to 8000.The cooling fluid used in this investigation is water,which concentrated primarily on single-phase flow conditions.The investigation results revealed that as the Re increased,all analyzed models showcased higher.A reduction in pressure drops,thermal resistance,Nu,and overall performance standards.Crucially,compared to the traditionalmodel,both suggested models demonstrated improved heat transmission capacities.Within all the models examined,the tube with dimples in(model B)as staggered showed the greatest enhancement in the Nu,which was almost double that of the conventional type.Model A and Model B have respective average total performance criteria of 1.23 and 1.34.
