摘要To promote the harmonious coexistence of cities and lakes and to achieve Sustainable Development Goals in the Taihu Lake Basin,we developed an analytical framework for city-lake symbiosis(CLS)on the basis of symbiosis theory.Using the Lotka-Volterra(L-V)model and a coordination degree model,we assessed the state and evolution of the CLS relationship.The findings reveal that urban development levels increased steadily from 27.36 in 1980 to 78.90 in 2020,whereas the ecological conditions of Taihu Lake initially decreased,followed by slow and fluctuating recovery.Overall,cities and Taihu Lake exhibited a“mutualism”relationship,withαandβvalues of-1.89 and-1.77,respectively,and a general upward trend in the degree of coordination over the study period.However,during the periods 1980-1998 and 2012-2016,the relationship displayed a pattern of“mutual damage”.The adverse effects of urban development accumulated gradually,in contrast to the rapid and abrupt deterioration observed in the lake.Ecological recovery in Taihu Lake progressed slowly and unevenly,stabilizing only after 2016 into a phase of sustained improvement.We recommend enhanced and coordinated efforts in ecological restoration and environmental governance to support this positive trajectory.

摘要Characterizing shale oil reservoirs encompassing pore space,mineralogy,and fluids is fundamental to effective exploration and development.Recent advances in experimental techniques have significantly improved both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of these components;however,a comprehensive systematic review is lacking.High-resolution imaging technologies,such as Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM),Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FE-SEM),and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy(FIB-SEM),enable detailed visualization of pore structures.Gas adsorption and high-pressure mercury intrusion methods provide accurate pore-scale quantification.Moreover,techniques like X-ray Diffraction(XRD),X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy(XRF),and Electron Probe Microanalysis(EPMA)allow precise mineral identification and compositional analysis.Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy(CSLM),Raman Spectroscopy,Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR),and Rock Pyrolysis provide insights into fluid occurrence and content within shale reservoirs.Based on a comprehensive review of existing research,this study identifies several key future directions:(1)addressing the challenges of nanopore observation in reservoir space characterization while minimizing the impact of sample preparation on pore structure;(2)improving the accuracy of quantitative mineral analysis and developing advanced new technologies for the precise measurement of complex mineral compositions;(3)enhancing the fluid quantitative evaluation of fluids by more effectively restoring subsurface geological conditions.This paper presents a current synthesis and forward-looking perspective on experimental techniques supporting shale oil exploration,aiming to guide future research and technological innovation in this field.
摘要Current quantitative characterization methods for the mechanical response and damage evolution of coal seams at different burial depths under mining-induced stress remains insufficient.To address this,this study establishes a quantitative characterization model for the evolution of mechanical properties in gas-bearing coal masses at varying burial depths.It innovatively introduces a dual damage quantification technique and develops a coupled damage evolution model that comprehensively considers energy evolution,effective mining-induced stress,permeability,and a damage sensitivity coefficient,followed by extensive analysis.Key findings include:coal damage exhibits heterogeneous evolutionary characteristics under mining-induced stress;based on the theory of irreversible deformation,the proposed damage characterization equation can effectively determine the critical damage threshold of coal;the three-parameter EXP function model is more suitable for characterizing the time-dependent damage process of coal under mining-induced stress;a new characterization method for the coal brittleness evaluation index is proposed,revealing an 800 m burial depth boundary for the coal brittleness index;at the microscopic level,achieving quantitative characterization of the correlation between peak stress and the average reduction in functional groups during mining-induced failure of coal at different burial depths.Finally,the mapping relationship between laboratory experimental parameters and field monitoring indicators for early warning of coal mine dynamic disasters is established.

摘要The adsorption of ferrihydrite colloids(Fh-NPs)on solid-phase media is the main factor determining their migration.However,most studies on colloids migration only provide qualitative descriptions.This study explored the impact and mechanisms of humic acids(HAs)and fulvic acids(FAs)on Fh-NPs migration in different saturated media via quantitative adsorption analysis.The coexistence of high HAs/FAs concentration promoted the migration of Fh-NPs in the negatively charged kaolinite-coated sand columns,but hindered migration in the positively charged MgAl-layered double hydroxides(LDH)-coated sand columns.The high HAs/FAs concentration combined with Fh-NPs reversed the surface positive charge of Fh-NPs,reducing adsorption capacity of kaolinite for Fh-NPs to 1.93/3.93 mg/g(from 20.8 mg/g without HAs/FAs)and increasing that of LDH for Fh-NPs to 31.1/30.6 mg/g(from nearly 0 mg/g without HAs/FAs).HAs/FAs could also combine with LDH to form a composite solid phase,thereby increasing the adsorption capacity of the solid phase for Fh-NPs.Furthermore,the influence of HAs on the Fh-NPs migration behavior was more significant than that of FAs due to the stronger binding interaction between HAs and Fh-NPs.Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy revealed that Fh-NPs that preferentially combined with HAs/FAs caused a decrease in the ability of HAs/FAs to complex with kaolinite and LDH.The results of the present study provided a deep understanding of the migration mechanism of Fh-NPs and HAs/FAs in the soil environment,and provided scientific basis for predicting the geochemical behavior of pollutants or carbon in the soil environment.

摘要Ensuring reliability in distribution networks is essential under increasing operational and economic constraints.Traditional planning models rely on power flow calculations,leading to high computational costs and poor scalability.This study proposes a quantitative decomposition framework that establishes a direct linkage among reliability improvement measures,reliability parameters,and reliability indices,enabling fast and analytical reliability evaluation without power flow analysis.A bi-objective optimization model is developed to minimize both reliability indices(SAIDI)and investment costs,solved using Pareto-based multi-objective PSO combined with the TOPSIS method.Case studies on a 519-node distribution network demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves significant reliability improvement with superior computational efficiency,offering a practical and scalable tool for reliabilityoriented distribution planning.

摘要To address the challenges associated with predicting wellbore fluid flow behavior and gas kick rates in deep,complex formations following gas kick events,this study develops a quantitative interpretation method of gas kick driven by physics-informed neural network(PINN).The proposed method integrates a physical model of gas—liquid two-phase flow in the wellbore into the neural network by formulating it as a loss function,leveraging annulus temperature and pressure data obtained from downhole dual measurement tools.The feasibility and effectiveness of this method are evaluated through comparative analysis.The result indicates that duringgas kick occurrences,this method achieves mean relative errors of 8.49%and 9.07%for the predicted gas volume fraction and apparent gas phase velocity between the dual measurement points,respectively,and 3.76%for the bottomhole gas kick rate,without the need for mesh discretization or predefined initial conditions,demonstrating strong applicability in field scenarios.Compared to the unscented Kalman filter(UKF)and genetic algorithm(GA),this method exhibits higher prediction accuracy and stability due to its global optimization capability,overcoming the divergence issues encountered by UKF and GA during point-wise recursive predictions under noisy pressure data conditions.Integrating this method with downhole dual measurement tools can provide valuable guidance for blowout risk assessment,well-control method selection,and well-killing parameter design after a gas kick.

摘要Medical data has specificity compared to other fields of data,and the description of medical data characteristics is still in a qualitative stage.This study included 293 sub-datasets of 138 independent datasets.First,data preprocessing was performed using methods such as incomplete data removal,inconsistent data normalization,and data integration.Then,the characteristics of 293 research datasets were quantified using 26 indicators in three categories:simple indicators,statistical indicators,and informational indicators.Furthermore,statistical analysis was performed on the above-mentioned quantitative characteristics,and stepwise regression and decision tree methods were used for modeling learning.The characteristics of the biological and medical datasets in the study were compared with those of other fields’datasets.By comparing the results of statistical analysis and learning modeling,the study found that the sample size of medical datasets included in the UCI database analyzed in this paper is small,most within 1000.The harmonic mean or geometric mean of continuous variables is significantly higher than the data from other fields.That is to say,the scope of the continuous variable range is large.This study uses quantitative indicators to describe the characteristics of medical datasets to avoid the decrease in credibility caused by subjective analysis,and lays a foundation for further algorithm applicability research.

摘要Quantitative visualization of pivotal biomarkers and accurate delineation of tumor lesion boundary are highly significant to assist surgeon precisely resect the tumors and reduce the risk of recurrence.Activatable fluorescent probes hold great promise for intraoperative guidance of tumor surgery with high signal-to-background ratio(SBR).Here,we report a γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)-activated fluorogenic probe Indol-Glu for quantitative visualization of GGT and fluorescence-guided tumor resection.The fluorescence of Indol-Glu was initially“off”state but was specifically activated by GGT to produce enhanced near-infrared(NIR)fluorescence(~37-fold at 741 nm).It is also accompanied by the formation of self-assemblies in the tumor microenvironment resulting in prolonged retention in tumor tissues,which was demonstrated to be able to apply for NIR imaging-guided surgical resection of GGT-overexpressed luciferase-transfected hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC/Luc)tumor.More notably,taking advantage of the ratiometric photoacoustic signal(PA690/PA800)characteristic of Indol-Glu under the digestion of GGT,quantitative visual assessment of GGT activities in various tumor models was achieved in living mice.We believe that this research work may offer a powerful tool for precise diagnosis and surgical resection of malignant tumors.

摘要The flow of molten steel at the solidification front in a continuous casting mold has a significant impact on slab quality.However,due to the high temperature and opacity of the mold,direct velocity measurements are extremely challenging.The functional relationship between flow speed at the solidification front and the temperature of the outer surface of the solidified shell is derived heat conduction equations.Subsequently,a coupled flow-heat transfer-solidification model for the mold is developed to numerically determine the flow speed and temperature distribution.Based on thermocouple installation positions and the impingement point location of the molten steel jet on the narrow face of the mold,33 sampling points are selected along both the narrow/wide face centerline and corresponding heights at the solidification front.Finally,the flow speed at the solidification front is fitted as a function of the outer surface temperature of solidified shell and the distance from the meniscus,with detailed analysis of its distribution characteristics.

摘要In order to break through the limitations of the traditional hazard and operability(HAZOP)analysis,this study established a gray evaluation model based on gray theory for the riskiness ranking of deviations and semi-quantitative analysis of risk levels.A quantitative HAZOP analysis combining HAZOP with Aspen Plus,Aspen Dynamics,Fault Tree Analysis(FTA),Risk Matrix and Layer of Protection Analysis(LOPA)was performed for high risk deviations.The dynamic model of the methanol washing unit in the rectisol process was established by Aspen Dynamics and the effects of different deviations on the risk indicators and operability indicators were investigated.Then,the risk of deviations was ranked according to the simulation results and the high-risk deviations were identified.Subsequently,the sensitivity analysis module of Aspen Plus software was used to calculate the fluctuationrange of highrisk deviations,whose results were imported into Aspen Dynamics to simulate and analyze the risk level of accidents,and then FTA was used to quantify the probability of accidents.Synchronizing the two to the risk matrix determined the deviations to have initial risk ratings of 10 and 15,both of which are high-risk deviations.The HAZOP quantitative analysis report is finalizedafter reducing the residual risk level of the deviation to 9(low risk)through LOPA analysis.The results of the case study showed that the method can verify the accuracy of the gray evaluation model to a certain extent,and the quantitative HAZOP analysis report is of guiding significancefor actual production.

摘要Sulfur dioxide(SO2) and its derivatives have been recognized as harmful environmental pollutants.However,they are often produced during the processing of traditional Chinese medicines,potentially compromising the quality of these medicinal materials and contributing to various health issues.Due to a lack of effective monitoring and imaging tools,the physiological effects of excessive SO2 residues in traditional Chinese medicine remain unclear.Therefore,developing a rapid and effective tool for detecting SO2 is crucial for understanding its metabolic pathways and effects in vivo.In this study,we developed a near infrared(NIR) and ratiometric fluorescent probe,NIR-RS,which exhibits high sensitivity,selectivity,and rapid response for SO2 detection.Notably,NIR-RS accurately quantifies SO2 contents in Pinelliae rhizoma(P.rhizoma) samples,with recovery rates from 98.46 % to 102.40 %,and relative standard deviations(RSDs)< 5.0 %.For bioimaging applications,NIR-RS has low cytotoxicity and good mitochondrial-targeting ability,making it suitable for imaging exogenous and endogenous SO2 in mitochondria.Additionally,NIR-RS was successfully applied to image SO2 content of P.rhizoma samples within cells,revealing that high SO2 residue elevated mitochondria adenosine triphosphate(ATP) content,these findings reveal that P.rhizoma with excessive SO2 can affect the organism's growth mechanisms through alterations in ATP pathways.In vivo,SO2 was found to predominantly accumulate in the liver following gavage with P.rhizoma solution,with accumulation levels increasing in proportion to SO2 residue concentration.High SO2 concentrations in P.rhizoma can cause pulmonary fibrosis and gastric mucosal damage.This work provides a valuable tool for regulating SO2 content in P.rhizoma and may help researcher better understand the metabolism of SO2 derivatives and explore their physiological roles in biological systems.

摘要The complex stress environment during underground space reuse in deep mines often leads to significant instability in the surrounding rock-lining support structure of roadways.To address this,a multi-component carbon reinforced lining material(CGNC)was developed to improve the mechanical properties and self-sensing capabilities of the surrounding rock-lining support structure,enabling precise identification of precursor information related to surrounding rock-lining instability and failure.In this study,the failure precursor characteristics of the sample are obtained by analyzing the CGNC acoustic emission parameters,resistivity,and full-field main strain during the loading process.By combining the b-value,failure precursor resistivity,and strain monitoring,the precursor information is quantitatively characterized.Finally,a response mechanism for precursor information,based on the integration of"force acoustic-electricity-graph"is established.The results are as follows:1)The optimal content of carbon-based materials is 0.2%graphene(GPE),0.3%nano-carbon black(NCB),and 0.15%carbon nanotube(CNT),which results in an 86.7%increase in the sample's strength.The yield stress can serve as the"failure precursor"for the sample's instability.As the content increases,the"failure precursor"is delayed accordingly.2)As the stress level approaches the yield stress,the b-value decreases sharply,acoustic emission energy increases significantly,and the resistivity and main strain curves nearly synchronously reach the"inflection point",which serves as the precursor to sample failure.3)With increasing carbon-based material content,the synergistic effect of the three materials causes the failure mode of the sample to evolve from uniform single cracking and tensile failure to large-scale fracture and multi-crack tensile-shear composite failure,fundamentally explaining the modification mechanism of carbon-based materials in cement-based composites.These findings provide theoretical support for the instability failure mechanism and early warning system of CGNC.

摘要Chemical integrity is indispensable for advancing healthcare by ensuring the availability of high quality,safe,and effective pharmaceutical products.Ingredient quantification is particularly pivotal in this process.Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy is a powerful tool for both qualitative and quantitative analysis for complex systems.Compared with 1D quantitative 1H NMR(1H qNMR),quantitative13C NMR(13C qNMR)holds some unique advantages.This technique offers a broader chemical shift range and the resulting much lesser signal overlap compare to 1H NMR spectroscopy.This review summarizes relevant studies on the use of13C qNMR as a quantification technique,along with a focus on quantitative principles,influencing factors,and technical improvements of13C NMR.The review also highlights its applicability in quantifying diverse molecular structures in pharmaceutical analysis.In addition,potential of low-field NMR,artificial intelligence(AI)-driven method development,and hyphenation of NMR with other techniques for13C qNMR analysis is discussed and summarized as well.As a versatile method,13C qNMR holds great potential,and ongoing research is expected to unlock its full capabilities and expand its range of applications.

摘要Magnesium(Mg)alloys are highly valued in aerospace,biomedical and other fields due to their high specific strength.However,nonuniform corrosion failure during service remains a core challenge that restricts their engineering applications.Traditional corrosion kinetics models fail to accurately elucidate the cross-scale synergy mechanism between microstructure and macroscopic corrosion behavior.In this study,based on 13 kinds of Mg alloys,20 sets of 100-h hydrogen evolution curves,and characterization data from scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)information,a multi-level corrosion kinetics database was constructed,covering physicochemical parameters,micro-grain topological structures and second phase features,as well as macroscopic statistical characteristics and temporal dimension.Through machine learning algorithms,key corrosion driving factors were identified,and a multi-level graph attention network modeling framework was proposed,where the grains and grain boundaries were constructed as a graph structure,and the hierarchical interaction modeling between microstructure and corrosion kinetics was realized by combining the attention mechanism.The model has been validated in a new Mg alloy dataset for its predictive capability across compositional systems.This work provides a new computational paradigm and significantly enhances the predictability and efficiency of corrosion-resistant Mg alloy design.

摘要Periodic pattern mining plays an important role in revealing recurring behavioral regularities from temporal sequence data.Most existing approaches,however,are developed for single-sequence settings and rarely account for quantitative information or sequence-level constraints when patterns recur across multiple sequences.This limits their usefulness in practical scenarios,where a pattern is expected to be not only periodic but also quantitatively significant in a sufficiently large portion of sequences.In this work,we formulate the problem of mining High-Quantitative Periodic Frequent Patterns(HQPFPS)from multi-sequence databases and propose an efficient algorithm,termed MHQPFPS.The proposed method evaluates pattern significance through a quantitative ratio within each sequence and exploits a sequence-level upper bound to effectively prune unpromising candidates during pattern growth.To support efficient evaluation,a compact list-based structure is introduced to maintain support,periodicity,and quantitative statistics,thereby avoiding repeated scans of the database.These components are combined within a depth-first exploration framework to systematically generate valid patterns while discarding those that fail to satisfy the required periodic or quantitative constraints.Experimental results on both real-world and synthetic datasets show that MHQPFPS is able to extract meaningful high-quantitative periodic patterns across multiple sequences.Moreover,the results indicate that the proposed pruning strategies substantially reduce computational cost in terms of runtime and memory consumption under a wide range of parameter settings.
摘要Esophageal cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide,with survival outcomes varying widely even among patients with similar clinical stages.Recent advances in artificial intelligence(AI)have enabled the extraction of quantitative imaging features,known as radiomics,from routine computed tomography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans,offering new opportunities for precision prognostication.At the same time,body composition metrics such as sarcopenia and visceral adiposity have emerged as important predictors of treatment tolerance and overall survival.This article summarizes current evidence on artificial intelligence-based approaches that integrate tumor radiomics and host body composition for survival modeling in esophageal cancer.It outlines methodological frameworks,model performance,and key predictors identified across studies,and discusses challenges related to data harmonization,feature reproducibility,and clinical translation.The combined use of radiomics and body composition analysis through machine learning offers a promising path toward individualized,image-based survival prediction beyond conventional staging systems.

摘要In future smart cities,ensuring urban safety requires data-driven decision-making through real-time monitoring tailored to dynamic,complex environments.Such surveillance relies on diverse mobile sensor devices,including drones,robots,patrol vehicles,and portable sensors.However,scaling and validating these systems directly in the real world is constrained by high costs,safety risks,and limited reproducibility across operating conditions.A scalable Digital Twin(DT)model can overcome these constraints by reproducing real-world mobile surveillance in a virtual environment,enabling large-scale simulations of sensor deployment,communication scenarios,and high-density visual data processing.Nevertheless,digital twins still face well-known limitations such as the reality gap,construction costs,limited coverage of behavioral and social variables,biased learning in AI models,and the need for continuous updates.Many of these issues are expected to be mitigated in the near future as generative AI increasingly automates the construction of virtual environments and objects.Despite these advancements,the systemic resource constraints of integrating large-scale physical sensor streams with virtual rendering remain underexplored.To address this gap,this paper proposes a scalable DT framework for the quantitative stress testing of intelligent mobile surveillance systems.The proposed framework collects real-world visualization data from multiple cameras mounted on MobileX Poles,and supports quantitative stress testing in both virtual and physical environments.It systematically analyzes how computing resource usage varies with the number of smart poles and the total number of camera streams under rendering conditions,thereby quantifying the resource limits of real-world,multi-camera DT simulations.
摘要BACKGROUND Wire-based pressure pullback gradient(PPG)is the reference method for differentiating focal from diffuse coronary artery disease(CAD).However,it requires invasive instrumentation and hyperaemia.The quantitative flow ratio(QFR)-derived PPG[QFR virtual pullback(QVP)index]is a non-invasive alternative.AIM To evaluate the correlation between QVP index and PPG,and to explore the diagnostic performance of QVP index for identifying focal CAD.METHODS We retrospectively studied 74 patients(86 vessels)who underwent coronary angiography,fractional flow reserve(FFR),wire-based PPG,angio-based QFR and QVP index between December 2021 and October 2023.The primary analysis focused on FFR-significant lesions(FFR≤0.75,n=31),as these are clinically relevant for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention.QVP index was calculated from the maximal QFR drop over 20 mm and the length of the epicardial segment with the greatest reduction.Focal disease was defined by PPG>0.73.RESULTS QFR was strongly correlated with FFR(r=0.84,P0.73)with area under the curve of 0.73(P=0.02).A retrospectively derived threshold of QVP index>0.53 yielded 90%sensitivity and 53%specificity(P=0.04),though this cut-off was derived from the same dataset and should be regarded as hypothesis-generating.CONCLUSION QVP index correlates with PPG in FFR-significant lesions and may help to identify focal CAD patterns.However,these findings are hypothesis-generating and derived from a small,retrospective,single-centre cohort without external validation.Prospective multicentre studies are needed to validate cut-offs and determine whether QVP index provides incremental clinical value beyond existing physiological and imaging tools.
