In its reservoir division and correlation, the isochronous problem is very important. Taking the oil formation I of Es3 in Wuhaozhuang oilfield as an example, through the analysis of stratigraphic drilling and logging data in the study area, according to the genetic types of different levels of base level cycle interfaces and the characteristics of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy, this paper subdivides the lacustrine gravity flow oil layer of lower Es3 in Wuhaozhuang Oilfield, divides it into four short-term base level cycle sequences, and establishes the high-resolution isochronous stratigraphic framework of this interval. It is found that the mid-term, short-term and ultra short-term base level cycles correspond to the oil formation, sand layer group and single layer in the oil layer correlation unit of the oilfield respectively. Based on this, the oil layer correlation unit of the interval is divided, and the sublayer correlation model is established according to the identification characteristics of the short-term base level cycle.展开更多

The results showed that the most important factor for tomato seedling's root activity,hypocotyl length and internode length was nutrient salt concentration. In terms of effect on seedling index,substrate temperature should be reduced properly,to avoid excessive shading. It was primarily determined that the effects of three factors on the raising of strong tomato seedlings ranked as factor C,factor B and factor A from high to low; and the screened optimal seedling raising conditions were the rhizospheric temperature at( 3 + 1)℃,the shading rate of( 50 + 5) % and the EC value of( 5. 0 + 0. 5) mS/cm.展开更多

文摘Metabolite composition is strongly affected by genotype,environment,and interactions between genotype and environment,although the extent of variation caused by these factors may depend upon the type of metabolite.To characterize the complexity of genotype,environment,and their interaction in hybrid seeds,50 genetically diverse non-genetically modified(GM) maize hybrids were grown in six geographically diverse locations in North America.Polar metabolites from 553 harvested corn grain samples were isolated and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and 45 metabolites detected in all samples were used to generate a data matrix for statistical analysis.There was moderate variation among biological replicates and across genotypes and test sites.The genotype effects were detected by univariate and Hierarchical clustering analyses(HCA) when environmental effects were excluded.Overall,environment exerted larger effects than genotype,and polar metabolite accumulation showed a geographic effect.We conclude that it is possible to increase seed polar metabolite content in hybrid corn by selection of appropriate inbred lines and growing regions.

文摘We perform first-principles calculations and coherent laser-matter interaction analyses to investigate the laser-induced ultrafast spin flip on graphene nanoflakes(GNFs)with transition metal elements attached on the boundary[TM&GNFs(TM=Fe,Co,Ni)].It is shown that the spin-flip process on TM&GNFs is highly influenced by the involved element species and the position attached to the nanoflakes.Furthermore,taking Ni&GNF as an example,the first-principles tensile test predicts that the variation of the C-Ni bond length plays an important role in the spin density distribution,especially for the low-lying magnetic states,and can therefore dominate the spin-flip processes.The fastest spin-flip scenario is achieved within 80 fs in a Ni&GNF structure under 10%tensile strain along the C-Ni bond.The local deformation modulation of spin flip provides the precursory guidance for further study of ultrafast magnetization control in GNFs,which could lead to potential applications in future integrated straintronic devices.

文摘To quickly identify the mineral pigments in the Dunhuang murals,a spectral matching algorithm(SMA)based on four methods was combined with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS)for the first time.The optimal range of LIBS spectrum for mineral pigments was determined using the similarity value between two different types of samples of the same pigment.A mineral pigment LIBS database was established by comparing the spectral similarities of tablets and simulated samples,and this database was successfully used to identify unknown pigments on tablet,simulated,and real mural debris samples.The results show that the SMA method coupled with the LIBS technique has great potential for identifying mineral pigments.
