    In ultra-long-distance rock micro-shield pipe jacking, pipe wall friction is a key factor in determining the size of the jacking force and the arrangement of the intermediate jacking station, and the selection of a good bentonite mud is a key factor in controlling the pipe wall friction. In order to give full play to the polymer bentonite mud in the pipe jacking construction process of lubrication and support, the Chongqing Guanjingkou water conservancy hub project was used as the basis, through orthogonal tests and indoor straight shear test method on the basis of different types of bentonite mud ratio optimization, based on the performance parameters of the slurry, as well as the friction reduction mechanism to derive the optimal type of mud and its ratio. The results show these as follow. Sodium bentonite mud is the optimal type of mud, the ratio of bentonite to water is 14%, guar gum is 0.20%, soda ash is 0.40%, CMC(carboxymethyl cellulose) is 0.40%, PAM(polyacrylamide) is 0.10%, and its friction reduction effect is obvious, it can make the friction coefficient between concrete and gray rock reduced by 35%, which makes the friction between the pipe and the rock greatly reduced in the process of pipe jacking in the rock.

    The narrow passageways and limited visibility in large underground parking lots often lead to vehicle collisions at blind intersections, posing significant dangers. In order analyze approach behavior at these intersections, a driving simulation experiment was designed. The experiment involved constructing a 3D model of the underground parking lot and integrating it with a connected vehicle warning information system. Four experimental scenarios were devised, considering variations in technical features (with or without warning information) and events (with or without vehicle conflicts at blind intersections). Using micro-driving behavior data from 31 participants, key metrics such as speed, acceleration, and braking position were selected to analyze approach behavior from the warning point to the blind intersection. Subsequently, correlation analysis was conducted, followed by the application of the k-means method to cluster driver types and examine the effects of warning information on the approach behavior of different drivers. Finally, the utility of the system was evaluated. The results indicate the following. ①When drivers approached blind intersections without warning information, the process typically involved three stages: speed maintenance, speed increase, and emergency braking. In contrast, when warning information was provided, speed decreased more uniformly and was 34.08% higher than without warning information. ②The warning information system reduced the average speed by 9.94 km/h compared to scenarios without warnings, and advanced the braking position by 4.49 meters, thereby effectively enhancing the safety of drivers passing through blind intersections in parking lots. ③The warning information system had discernible effects on conservative and general drivers, suggesting the need for additional training for radical drivers to help them understand the positive role of the warning system in improving driving efficiency and promoting safe driving practices. ④The warning information system significantly improved overall driver safety, with the greatest impact observed among conservative drivers, followed by ordinary and aggressive drivers. These research findings provide support for the application of connected vehicle warning information systems in parking lots and contribute to the enhancement of parking lot safety.

    The influencing factors on the reservoir development of Upper Taiyuan Formation in the eastern Ordos Basin were investigated. Experimental methods such as casting thin sections, high-pressure mercury intrusion, and constant-rate mercury intrusion were employed to examine the pore structure characteristics of Upper Taiyuan Formation, Tai 2 Member. Results show that the average porosity of Tai 2 Member reservoir is 7.84%, with an average permeability of 0.396 mD, primarily characterized by ultra-low porosity and permeability. The pore structure is complex, with strong heterogeneity. Various types of pores were developed in the reservoir, including intragranular dissolution pores, intergranular dissolution pores, intercrystalline pores, and rock fragment dissolution pores. Based on the frequency of pore development, porosity, and permeability in each region, the pore combinations are classified into three types: intragranular dissolution pores, intragranular dissolution pores combined with intercrystalline pores, and intragranular dissolution pores combined with intergranular dissolution pores. The experimental methods of high-pressure mercury intrusion and constant-rate mercury intrusion could effectively characterize the reservoir characteristics of these three types of pore combinations, among which the combination of intragranular dissolution pores and intercrystalline pores represents a favorable reservoir pore type. Based on the laws of sedimentary differentiation and pore differentiation, a set of criteria for evaluating high-quality reservoirs is established on the basis of experimental results. Upper Taiyuan Formation reservoir was classified into Class Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ from good to poor, and predictions were made for favorable areas of high-quality reservoirs.

    In order to study the disaster susceptibility of debris flow in Yongsheng County, the research area was Yongsheng County of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, and it was divided into 475 sub-watershed units. Grey correlation analysis method was used to calculate the correlation degree of each factor, and the factor with the lowest correlation degree was eliminated. The independence of factors was tested by collinearity diagnosis. In the end, eight factors including average slope, average annual maximum rainfall, average vegetation coverage, average elevation, average melton ratio, average water system density, average landslide core density and average road density were retained. The information volume of the factors was calculated by the information volume method, and the correlation degree value was taken as the weight value of the superposition of each factor. The grey correlation analysis-information volume model was further constructed to carry out the evaluation research on the vulnerability of debris flow in Yongsheng County. The results show this as follows. The requency ratio of debris flow disaster points in the extremely vulnerable area is as high as 4.06, and the area under the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve is 0.818, indicating that the selected eight factors and the grey correlation analysation-information volume method have good forecasting ability for the evaluation of debris flow disaster vulnerability. The results can also be used as reference for the prevention and control of debris flow disaster in Yongsheng County.

    In order to study the task-based functional connectivity of the whole brain in schizophrenia patients and healthy controls during task switching, the NSP(nested-spectral partition) method was used to quantify the degree of integration and segregation of the whole brain network and explain differential remodeling patterns of brain networks in schizophrenia patients and healthy controls. Results show that changes in whole-brain functional connectivity patterns in schizophrenia are driven by lower network integration and higher segregation, suggesting global and network-wide local information transfer during task switching in schizophrenia patients efficiency was lower than that of healthy controls. Furthermore, the association between task switching costs (reaction time and switching costs) and task state modularity was analyzed using simple linear correlation. Lower whole-brain modularity and lower salience network modularity in schizophrenia were found to be associated with larger switch costs but not with mean reaction times across the task. In contrast, higher cortical network modularity in healthy control patients was associated with faster task reaction times but not with shorter switch costs. Taken together, the results suggest that quantifying functional network configurations across different task states can provide information about cognitive control performance.

    The vibration excitation transmission of the platform should be suppressed while ensuring the safe and reliable operation of equipment. Currently, most research on vibration reduction focuses on individual pedestals or pedestal-platform plate structures, with few studies comprehensively considering the relationship between equipment, pedestal, and platform bottom plate vibrations. ultra-deep water semi-submersible drilling platform equipment’s long base was taken as the research object and impedance analysis and optimization design technology was utilized to control input power flow of the platform bottom plate in key frequency bands. Design variables such as mass and stiffness were optimized to improve base plate thickness while maintaining support strength and stiffness. A coupling vibration control model for “equipment-pedestal-platform” was established, using a particle swarm optimization algorithm with linear weight decline for optimization. Finite element method verification results show that this technical process is feasible, reducing optimized input power flow by 95.43% in low frequencies below 300 Hz and decreasing total response level of vibration acceleration by 18.1 dB.

    Considering the characteristics of poor permeability, mixed particle sizes, and complex pore structures of conglomerates, a study was conducted on the pore structure characteristics and connectivity of the Mahu Urho Formation conglomerates using CT(computed tomography)scanning and 3D reconstruction techniques. By establishing a pore structure extraction method combining conventional threshold segmentation and top-hat algorithm, the challenge of extracting microcracks was overcome. The study reveals that the main types of pores in the Urho Group conglomerates are intergranular pores, dissolved pores, and microfractures, with the 3D pore types are mainly lamellar pore structures and isolated pore structures. Although pores with equivalent radii of conglomerate samples smaller than 30 μm account for a high proportion, their contribution to the total pore volume is relatively low. Pores larger than 60 μm, while fewer in number, occupy over 50% of the total pore volume, serving as the primary storage space. Experimental samples are predominantly characterized by level III connected domains, exhibiting good connectivity conducive to the accumulation and extraction of oil and gas. The investigation into the pore structure characteristics of strongly inhomogeneous conglomerates holds significant theoretical and practical value for an in-depth understanding of such characteristics and for the exploration and development of oil and gas reservoirs in sand conglomerates.

    Myocardial ischemia is caused by the incoordination between myocardial oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery in coronary artery disease, and due to its high morbidity and mortality rate, the number of patients who die from ischemic heart disease in China is increasing year by year. In order to verify that the active ingredients of Jinlume have anti-myocardial ischemic efficacy. The maximum tolerated concentration (MTC) was determined to be 15.63 μg/mL by the pre-test, and the high school and low dose groups were divided into 7.81 μg/mL (1/2 MTC), 2.60 μg/mL (1/6 MTC) based on the MTC, respectively, 0.868 μg/mL (1/18 MTC), and the positive drug group was N-acetylcysteine (125 μg/mL). With the help of network pharmacology and molecular docking technology, the possible mechanism of action of the active ingredients of Jinlume in inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis and slowing down myocardial ischemia was investigated. The results showed that the aqueous extract of Jinlume had significant effects against myocardial ischemia in comparison with the positive drug group by means of zebrafish cardiac fluorescence intensity phenotyping, and its mechanism of action was related to five pathways, namely, Rap1 signaling pathway, cancer pathway, proteoglycans in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, lipids, and atherosclerosis. It can be seen that exploring the anti-myocardial ischemic mechanism of the active ingredients of Jinlume has certain theoretical significance for the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemia.
