    Seasonal deltas are deltaic sedimentary systems controlled by seasonal rivers in continental basins. Modern seasonal deltas are mainly developed in arid and semi-arid climate with gentle topography. However, the study on the sedimentary model of seasonal deltas in ancient sedimentary records is still insufficient. Suweiyi Formation in Tabei area, Tarim Basin was selected as the research object. Based on 63 logging data and 215.52 m core data in the study area, logging facies templates of different sedimentary microfacies and lithofacies type combination templates were established, and the vertical evolution law of sedimentary facies plane characteristics was analyzed and summarized, and the overall sedimentary model of the study area was established. The results show that the Suweiyi Formation in Tabei area developed 4 categories and 17 subtypes of rock facies. During the depositional period of the lower Suweiyi Member, seasonal shallow water braided river deltas were developed in the study area. A seasonal shallow meandering river delta with multiple flood events and retrograde accumulation developed in the north of the study area during the sedimentary period of the upper Suweiyi Member. Finally, the profile and single well sedimentary model of seasonal shallow water delta affected by factors such as accommodable space, frequent change of sedimentary base level and sudden events were established. The results provide a reference for further understanding of the seasonal shallow water delta depositional model under the background of arid climate, and also provide geological basis for lithologic trap exploration.

    In order to analyze the distortion effect of thin-walled box girder under lane load, the distribution law of stress amplification coefficient in thin-walled box girder was studied. The distortion angle and distortion generalized bending displacement were taken as node displacements. Based on the initial parameter solution of the homogeneous equation of the distortion control differential equation, the thin-walled box girder was divided into beam segment elements, and its element stiffness matrix and equivalent node load array were derived. Using Fortran language and referring to the calculation program FRAME2 for planar frame structures, a finite element program for beam segments that can be used to analyze the distortion effect of thin-walled box girders was obtained. The program was used to analyze the variation laws of the distortion internal forces and stress amplification factors of box girders under lane loads. The results show that the distortion warpage stress of three-span continuous box girder with variable cross-section under the action of lane load has a sudden change at the place of concentrated load, where the maximum and minimum values are obtained, the longitudinal distribution of stress amplification factor is similar to the longitudinal distribution of distortion warpage normal stress, both of which are symmetrically distributed along the span, the magnification factor of normal stress at the top and bottom of the section is 1.080 and 1.180 respectively. The points with smaller bending stress should not be considered when the magnification factor is taken into account.

    Existing voice-driven facial generation methods still face challenges in feature extraction and generation quality, and have yet to fully explore the deep correlation between audio and facial features. To address above mentioned issues, a research approach that combines Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) was proposedfor audio feature extraction with the image generation capabilities of the second generation of style generative adversarial networks (StyleGAN2) was proposed. In terms of audio processing, MFCC was employed as the feature extraction method. To more effectively extract and transmit features from the audio, a ResNet18-based residual module was designed and integrated with the squeeze-and-excitation (SE) attention mechanism. Additionally, the activation function in the original residual blocks was optimized and improved by using the Mish activation function, aiming to mitigate the gradient vanishing problem in deep networks, maintain the integrity of feature information, and enhance the accuracy and generalization ability of the model. The StyleGAN2 model was then utilized as the facial image generation model. Experimental results demonstrate that the integration of the designed audio processing network with the StyleGAN2 facial generation model exhibits outstanding performance in the task of voice-driven facial generation. Through comprehensive evaluation using metrics such as Fréchet inception distance (FID) and path length, the proposed method shows a significant improvement in generation quality compared to existing methods, thus fully proving its effectiveness and superiority.

    In the practice of energy renovation of existing buildings, the uncertainty of renovation parameters has a significant impact on the renovation results. To support energy renovation decision-making, a Monte Carlo method combined with Latin hypercube sampling was proposed to evaluate different renovation schemes, and a tree-based Gaussian method was used to screen key variables that affect the renovation process. The results show that uncertainty analysis can quantitatively evaluate renovation schemes at the preliminary design stage. The energy-saving rates of two typical renovation scenarios fluctuate between 32.7%~55.2% and 55.5%~108.4%, respectively, with higher uncertainty in schemes with better energy-saving effects. The cumulative probability distribution was used to assess the probability of renovation success, with the probabilities of meeting renovation targets being 58% and 96.4%, respectively. The integration of renewable energy technologies ensures the renovation results. Sensitivity analysis results show that infiltration rate and equipment power density are the most important factors in office building energy consumption, accounting for 80% of the output variance, which provides a theoretical basis and methodological reference for the selection of more building energy renovation schemes in the future.

    In order to research the effect of rotation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of heat convection system in a closed cavity, a series of numerical simulations were carried out on the air flow and heat transfer characteristics in a closed cavity. The distribution characteristics of velocity field and temperature field by different Rayleigh numbers and rotating Rayleigh numbers by horizontal and vertical temperature gradients were obtained, as well as the local and average Nusselt numbers on high temperature walls. The effect of rotation on the thermal convection system by two kinds of thermal boundary conditions was discussed. The results show that for the heat convection by horizontal temperature gradient, the gradual enhancement of rotation makes the flow characteristics change from single-cell to multi-cell, and enhances the heat transfer performance of heat convection. For heat convection by vertical temperature gradient, the enhancement of rotation makes the flow tend to the steady-state flow characteristics, that is, the flow stability is enhanced, and at a large Rayleigh number, the enhancement of rotational action will first inhibit and then strengthen the heat transfer performance. Given the same conditions, the convective heat transfer performance by horizontal temperature gradient is better than that by vertical temperature gradient, and the stronger the rotation effect is, the more obvious the feature is.

    In order to explore the relationship between the ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) and the risk of rapid decline in kidney function, data from the China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS) conducted in 2011 and 2015 was utilized. It includes 4 055 participants aged 40 and above with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 60 mL/(min·1.73m2), calculated using serum creatinine and cystatin C levels. Rapid kidney function decline is defined as a decrease in eGFR of 3 mL/(min·1.73m2·a). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between NHHR and the risk of rapid kidney function decline. Additionally, restricted cubic spline and threshold effect analyses were used to evaluate the dose-response relationship. The results show that over the 4-year follow-up, 447 participants (11.02%) experienced rapid decline in kidney function. In the fully adjusted multivariable logistic regression model, those in the highest NHHR group (T3) faced a 1.94-fold increased risk of rapid kidney function decline compared to the lowest NHHR group (T1) (OR=1.94,95%CI:1.46~2.61). As a continuous variable, each unit increase in NHHR is associated with a 1.21-fold increase in risk (OR=1.21, 95%CI:1.08~1.36). The restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrates a near logarithmic curve saturation effect between NHHR and rapid kidney function decline (Pnonlinearity<0.05). It is concluded that with NHHR ≤3.52, the risk increases as NHHR rises, while NHHR >3.52 marks a saturation point. In conclusion, among middle-aged and elderly individuals, a higher NHHR is linked to a greater risk of rapid decline in kidney function, displaying a nonlinear relationship.

    When a tunnel crosses a water-rich fault fracture zone, it is very easy to produce a water surge accident under a series of construction disturbances. In order to study the effects of fault zone width, dip angle and water pressure on tunnel water inflow, Yingshan tunnel was used as the engineering background, field tests were carried out, and an orthogonal test scheme was designed to carry out numerical simulation of coupled flow-solidity in the fault zone under multifactorial conditions, so as to analyze the sensitivity of the fault zone width, dip angle and water pressure on the water inflow of the tunnel. The results show that the tunnel water inflow increases with the increase of fault zone thickness, dip angle and water pressure, and the factors affecting the tunnel water inflow are water pressure, dip angle and width of the fault zone. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the field monitoring results. The results can provide theoretical references for the prediction of water influx in water-rich tunnels and the prevention and control technology.

    In order to investigate the segregation characteristics of asphalt concrete with large size core walls, indoor and field tests were conducted. Firstly, the density ratio data of the indoor prepared asphalt concrete specimens were analyzed by extreme variance analysis. Secondly, the density data of the upper and lower parts of the asphalt concrete core samples with the maximum aggregate size of 37.5 mm drilled under different working conditions in the field were statistically analyzed based on the one-dimensional variance theory. Finally, the basic mechanical properties of the upper and lower parts of the asphalt concrete cores of the large-grain-size aggregate core wall were comparatively analyzed under different working conditions. The results show that the relatively large influence on the segregation of asphalt concrete in the heart wall is the largest aggregate size, followed by the test temperature, the smallest is the amount of asphalt, and the tendency of segregation of asphalt concrete in the heart wall increases with the increase of the aggregate size, the increase of asphalt dosage and the increase of the test temperature. The tendency of segregation of asphalt concrete with the largest aggregate size of 37.5 mm molded under different working conditions from large to small are: initial milling temperature of 145 ℃ with paving thickness of 30 cm, initial milling temperature of 130 ℃ with paving thickness of 30 cm, initial milling temperature of 145 ℃ with paving thickness of 40 cm and initial milling temperature of 130 ℃ with paving thickness of 40cm, respectively. The tendency of segregation of its own will be increased with the increase of the thickness, initial milling temperature and asphalt consumption, and with the increase of test temperature and asphalt consumption. The tendency of segregation will decrease with the increase of paving thickness and the decrease of initial milling temperature. The differences in Marshall stability, Marshall flow value and split tensile strength between the upper and lower parts of the core samples of asphalt concrete with the largest aggregate size of 37.5 mm molded under the above four working conditions are all within 6%, with good uniformity.

    Aiming to address the issue of accurately measuring the slurry pH value during the operation of limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system, which hinders the efficient operation of WFGD, a prediction model for FGD system pH based on bi-directional gated recirculation unit(BiGRU) has been developed. Firstly, the raw data were cleaned and normalized. Secondly, based on the maximum information coefficient analysis, 13 characteristic values were obtained as input variables and pH as output variables, and a slurry pH model was established. Finally, the model was run and the results were evaluated. Compared to LSTM and GRU, the results indicate that the mean absolute error of this mathematical model decreases by 11.95% and 24.92%, while the root mean square error decreases by 10.64% and 19.49%. Additionally, the coefficient of determination improves by 1.79% and 3.08% respectively. This demonstrates that the BiGRU-based pH predictive model exhibits high accuracy and stability, making it valuable for engineering applications and providing an important reference for predicting pH models in existing desulfurization tower systems.
