    查看更多>>摘要:The traditional method of screening plants for disease resistance phenotype is both time-consuming and costly.Genomic selection offers a potential solution to improve efficiency,but accurately predicting plant disease resistance remains a challenge.In this study,we evaluated eight different machine learning(ML)methods,including random forest classification(RFC),support vector classifier(SVC),light gradient boosting machine(lightGBM),random forest classification plus kinship(RFC_K),support vector classifi-cation plus kinship(SVC_K),light gradient boosting machine plus kinship(lightGBM_K),deep neural net-work genomic prediction(DNNGP),and densely connected convolutional networks(DenseNet),for predicting plant disease resistance.Our results demonstrate that the three plus kinship(K)methods developed in this study achieved high prediction accuracy.Specifically,these methods achieved accura-cies of up to 95%for rice blast(RB),85%for rice black-streaked dwarf virus(RBSDV),and 85%for rice sheath blight(RSB)when trained and applied to the rice diversity panel I(RDPI).Furthermore,the plus K models performed well in predicting wheat blast(WB)and wheat stripe rust(WSR)diseases,with mean accuracies of up to 90%and 93%,respectively.To assess the generalizability of our models,we applied the trained plus K methods to predict RB disease resistance in an independent population,rice diversity panel Ⅱ(RDPⅡ).Concurrently,we evaluated the RB resistance of RDPⅡ cultivars using spray inoculation.Comparing the predictions with the spray inoculation results,we found that the accuracy of the plus K methods reached 91%.These findings highlight the effectiveness of the plus K methods(RFC_K,SVC_K,and lightGBM_K)in accurately predicting plant disease resistance for RB,RBSDV,RSB,WB,and WSR.The methods developed in this study not only provide valuable strategies for predicting disease resistance,but also pave the way for using machine learning to streamline genome-based crop breeding.

    查看更多>>摘要:Decarbonization and decontamination of the iron and steel industry(ISI),which contributes up to 15%to anthropogenic CO2 emissions(or carbon emissions)and significant proportions of air and water pollutant emissions in China,are challenged by the huge demand for steel.Carbon and pollutants often share com-mon emission sources,indicating that emission reduction could be achieved synergistically.Here,we explored the inherent potential of measures to adjust feedstock composition and technological structure and to control the size of the ISI to achieve carbon emission reduction(CER)and pollution emission reduction(PER).We investigated five typical pollutants in this study,namely,petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants and chemical oxygen demand in wastewater,particulate matter,SO2,and NOx in off gases,and examined synergies between CER and PER by employing cross elasticity for the period between 2022 and 2035.The results suggest that a reduction of 8.7%-11.7%in carbon emissions and 20%-31%in pollution emissions(except for particulate matter emissions)could be achieved by 2025 under a high steel scrap ratio(SSR)scenario.Here,the SSR and electric arc furnace(EAF)ratio serve critical roles in enhancing synergies between CER and PER(which vary with the type of pollutant).However,subject to a limited volume of steel scrap,a focused increase in the EAF ratio with neglection of the available sup-ply of steel scrap to EAF facilities would lead to an increase carbon and pollution emissions.Although CER can be achieved through SSR and EAF ratio optimization,only when the crude steel production growth rate remains below 2.2%can these optimization measures maintain the emissions in 2030 at a similar level to that in 2021.Therefore,the synergistic effects between PER and CER should be considered when formulating a development route for the ISI in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:Ice pigging is an emerging technique for pipe cleaning in drinking water distribution systems.However,substantial confusion and controversy exist on the potential impacts of ice pigging on bulk water quality.This study monitored the microstructural features and composition of sediments and microbial commu-nity structures in bulk water in eight multimaterial Chinese networks.Chloride concentration analysis demonstrated that separate cleaning of pipes with different materials in complex networks could miti-gate the risk of losing ice pigs and degrading water quality.The microstructural and trace element char-acterization results showed that ice pigs would scarcely disturb the inner surfaces of long-used pipes.The bacterial richness and diversity of bulk water decreased significantly after ice pigging.Furthermore,cor-relations were established between pipe service age,temperature,and chloride and total iron concentra-tions,and the 15 most abundant taxa in bulk water,which could be used to guide practical ice pigging operations.

    查看更多>>摘要:This article reviews the anti-penetration principles and strengthening mechanisms of metal materials,ranging from macroscopic failure modes to microscopic structural characteristics,and further summa-rizes the micro-macro correlation in the anti-penetration process.Finally,it outlines the constitutive models and numerical simulation studies utilized in the field of impact and penetration.From the macro perspective,nine frequent penetration failure modes of metal materials are summarized,with a focus on the analysis of the cratering,compression shear,penetration,and plugging stages of the penetration pro-cess.The reasons for the formation of adiabatic shear bands(ASBs)in metal materials with different crys-tal structures are elaborated,and the formation mechanism of the equiaxed grains in the ASB is explored.Both the strength and the toughness of metal materials are related to the materials'crystal structures and microstructures.The toughness is mainly influenced by the deformation mechanism,while the strength is explained by the strengthening mechanism.Therefore,the mechanical properties of metal materials depend on their microstructures,which are subject to the manufacturing process and material composition.Regarding numerical simulation,the advantages and disadvantages of different constitutive models and simulation methods are summarized based on the application characteristics of metal materials in high-speed penetration practice.In summary,this article provides a systematic overview of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of metal materials,along with their mechanisms and correlation during the anti-penetration and impact-resistance processes,thereby making an important contribution to the scientific understanding of anti-penetration performance and its optimiza-tion in metal materials.

    Magnetic Interactions with Strain Gradient in Ultrathin Pr0.67Sr0.33MnO3 Films

    查看更多>>摘要:Strain gradient is a normal phenomenon around a heterostructural interface in ultrathin film,and it is important to determine its effect on magnetic interactions to understand interfacial coupling.In this work,ultrathin Pr0.67Sro.33MnO3(PSMO)films on different substrates are studied.For PSMO film under different in-plane strain conditions,the saturated magnetization and Curie temperature can be qualita-tively explained by double-exchange interaction and the Jahn-Teller distortion.However,the difference in the saturated magnetization with zero field cooling and 5 T field cooling is proportional to the strain gradient.Strain-gradient-induced structural disorder is proposed to enhance phonon-electron antiferro-magnetic interactions and the corresponding antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transition via a strong magnetic field during the field cooling process.A non-monotonous structural transition of the MnO6 octahedral rotation can enlarge the strain gradient in PSMO film on a SrTiO3 substrate.This work demonstrates the existence of the flexomagnetic effect in ultrathin manganite film,which should be applicable to other complex oxide systems.

    查看更多>>摘要:The incorporation of commercial flame retardants into fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP)composites has been proposed as a potential solution to improve the latter's poor flame resistance.However,this approach often poses a challenge,as it can adversely affect the mechanical properties of the FRP.Thus,balancing the need for improved flame resistance with the preservation of mechanical integrity remains a complex issue in FRP research.Addressing this critical concern,this study introduces a novel additive system featuring a combination of one-dimensional(1D)hollow tubular structured halloysite nanotubes(HNTs)and two-dimensional(2D)polygonal flake-shaped nano kaolinite(NKN).By employing a 1D/2D hybrid kaolinite nanoclay system,this research aims to simultaneously improve the flame retardancy and mechanical properties.This innovative approach offers several advantages.During combustion and pyrolysis processes,the 1D/2D hybrid kaolinite nanoclay system proves effective in reducing heat release and volatile leaching.Furthermore,the system facilitates the formation of reinforcing skeletons through a crosslinking mechanism during pyrolysis,resulting in the development of a compact char layer.This char layer acts as a protective barrier,enhancing the material's resistance to heat and flames.In terms of mechanical properties,the multilayered polygonal flake-shaped 2D NKN plays a crucial role by impeding the formation of cracks that typically arise from vulnerable areas,such as adhesive phase particles.Simultaneously,the 1D HNT bridges these cracks within the matrix,ensuring the structural integrity of the composite material.In an optimal scenario,the homogeneously distributed 1D/2D hybrid kaolinite nanoclays exhibit remarkable results,with a 51.0%improvement in mode Ⅱ fracture toughness(GIIC),indicating increased resistance to crack propagation.In addition,there is a 34.5%reduction in total heat release,signifying improved flame retardancy.This study represents a significant step forward in the field of composite materials.The innovative use of hybrid low-dimensional nanomaterials offers a promising avenue for the development of multifunctional composites.By carefully designing and incorporating these nanoclays,researchers can potentially create a new generation of FRP composites that excel in both flame resistance and mechanical strength.

    查看更多>>摘要:The in-band full-duplex(IBFD)wireless system is a promising candidate for 6G and beyond,as it can dou-ble data throughput and enormously lower transmission latency by supporting simultaneous in-band transmission and reception of signals.Enabling IBFD systems requires a substantial mitigation of a trans-mitter(Tx)'s strong self-interference(SI)signal into the receiver(Rx)channel.However,current state-of-the-art approaches to tackle this challenge are inefficient in terms of performance,cost,and complexity,hindering the commercialization of IBFD techniques.In this work,we devise and demonstrate an inno-vative approach to realize IBFD systems that exhibit superior performance with a low-cost and less-complex architecture in an all-passive module.Our scheme is based on meticulously combining polarization-division multiplexing(PDM)with ferromagnetic nonreciprocity to achieve ultra-high isola-tion between Tx and Rx channels.Such an unprecedented conception has become feasible thanks to a concurrent dual-mode circulator-a new component introduced for the first time-as a key feature of our module,and a dual-mode waveguide that transforms two orthogonally polarized waves into two orthogonal waveguide modes.In addition,we propose a unique passive tunable secondary SI cancellation(SIC)mechanism,which is embedded within the proposed module and boosts the isolation over a rela-tively broad bandwidth.We report,solely in the analog domain,experimental isolation levels of 50,70,and 80 dB over 340,101,and 33 MHz bandwidth at the center frequency of interest,respectively,with excellent tuning capability.Furthermore,the module is tested in two real IBFD scenarios to assess its per-formance in connection with Tx-to-Rx leakage and modulation error in the presence of a Tx's strong interference signal.
