Abstract

This study investigated the probability of road closure due to flooding. Logistic regression model was developed using the road closure data and the daily rainfall data for Houston, TX, USA during 2017 and 2018. The road network was further divided into flood prone zones. The spatial analysis revealed that the rainfall at the road segment level could be sufficiently represented by that recorded by nearest sensors. Within a 4 d window, the rainfall in the current day and 3 d prior played a more influential role in predicting road closure. The differential outcomes due to distinct regional features were explained. Finally, a watershed delineation approach substantially improved the model's predictive power and sensitivity.

Abstract

A historic rainstorm occurred over Henan, China, in July 2021 (“7.20” extreme precipitation event), resulting in significant human casualties and socioeconomic losses. A global variable-resolution model (MPAS-Atmosphere v7.3) was employed to simulate this extreme precipitation event. A series of simulations have been done at both quasi-uniform (60 and 15 km) and variable-resolution (60–15 and 60–3 km) meshes from hydrostatic to nonhydrostatic scale with two parameterization scheme suites. For the 48 h peak precipitation duration (20–22 July), the 60–3 km variable-resolution simulation coupled with the scale-aware convection-permitting parameterization scheme suite stands out predominantly among other simulation experiments as it reproduces this extreme precipitation event most accurately. At 15 km resolution, the 60–15 km variable-resolution simulation achieves comparable forecasting skills to the 15 km quasi-uniform simulation but at a much reduced computing cost. In addition, we found that the default mesoscale suite generally outperforms the convection-permitting suite at 15 km resolution as simulations coupled with the convection-permitting suite missed the third peak of this extreme precipitation event, while the mesoscale suite did not. Furthermore, it is found that the large-scale circulation plays a critical role in the peak precipitation simulations at 15 km resolution, via influencing the simulated low-level wind. During the second peak precipitation period, simulations with the convection-permitting parameterization scheme suite at 15 km resolution generate a prominent low-level easterly wind component bias, which is largely attributed to the excessively evaporative cooling in the lower troposphere. This study further reveals that at 15 km resolution the diabatic heating from the grid-scale precipitation accounts more for the low-level wind bias than the convective-scale precipitation. Given that two different cloud microphysics schemes, namely Thompson and WSM6 schemes, are used in the convection-permitting and default mesoscale parameterization scheme suites, respectively, these microphysics schemes are found to be the primary contributor to the low-level wind simulation bias.

Abstract

The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) algorithm is a representative high order method in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) area which possesses considerable mathematical advantages such as high resolution, low dissipation, and dispersion. However, DG is rather computationally intensive to demonstrate practical engineering problems. This paper discusses the implementation of our in-house practical DG application in three different programming models, as well as some optimization techniques, including grid renumbering and mixed precision to maximize the performance improvements in a single node system. The experiment on CPU and GPU shows that our CUDA, OpenACC, and OpenMP-based code obtains a maximum speedup of 42.9x, 35.3x, and 8.1x compared with serial execution by the original application, respectively. Besides, we systematically compare the programming models in two aspects: performance and productivity. Our empirical conclusions facilitate the programmers to select the right platform with a suitable programming model according to their target applications., Comment: 8pages,conference

Abstract

Natural gas hydrate (GH) is a significant potential energy source due to its large reserves, wide distribution, high energy density, and low pollution. However, the gas production rate of past gas hydrate production tests is much lower than the requirement of commercial gas production. Reservoir stimulation technologies like hydraulic fractures provide one potential approach to enhance gas production from GH. The reservoir reformation behavior of the hydrate-bearing sediments (HBSs), particularly sediments with a high clay content, is a complex process during a hydraulic fracturing operation which has been poorly understood and thus hardly predictable. This paper presents an experimental facility that was developed to analyze the hydraulic fracture mechanism in synthesized HBSs. This facility can be used to form GH in sediments, conduct visual observation of hydraulic fracturing experiments, and measure the permeability of HBSs under high-pressure (up to 30 MPa) and low-temperature conditions (from 253.15 to 323.15 K). It is mainly composed of a pressure control and injection unit, a low temperature and cooling unit, a cavitation unit, a visual sapphire reactor, and a data acquisition and measurement unit. The hydraulic fracture module consists of a gas cylinder, fracturing pump, hopper, proppant warehouse, and valves. The sapphire reservoir chamber is applied to observe and measure the fracture of HBSs during hydraulic fracturing. The permeability test module is composed of a constant-flux pump and pressure sensors, which can evaluate the permeability performance before and after the hydraulic fracture in HBSs. The fundamental principles of this apparatus are discussed. Some tests were performed to verify hydraulic fracture tests, and permeability tests could be practically applied in the HBS exploitation.

Abstract

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease that is characterized by an obliterative vasculopathy of the distal pulmonary circulation. Despite significant progress in our understanding of the pathophysiology, currently approved medical therapies for PAH act primarily as pulmonary vasodilators and fail to address the underlying processes that lead to the development and progression of the disease. Endothelial dysregulation in response to stress, injury or physiologic stimuli followed by perivascular infiltration of immune cells plays a prominent role in the pulmonary vascular remodeling of PAH. Over the last few decades, our understanding of endothelial cell dysregulation has evolved and brought to light a number of transcription factors that play important roles in vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis. In this review, we examine two such factors, SOX17 and one of its downstream targets, RUNX1 and the emerging data that implicate their roles in the pathogenesis of PAH. We review their discovery and discuss their function in angiogenesis and lung vascular development including their roles in endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT) and their ability to drive progenitor stem cells toward an endothelial or myeloid fate. We also summarize the data from studies that link mutations in Sox17 with an increased risk of developing PAH and studies that implicate Sox17 and Runx1 in the pathogenesis of PAH. Finally, we review the results of recent studies from our lab demonstrating the efficacy of preventing and reversing pulmonary hypertension in animal models of PAH by deleting RUNX1 expression in endothelial or myeloid cells or by the use of RUNX1 inhibitors. By investigating PAH through the lens of SOX17 and RUNX1 we hope to shed light on the role of these transcription factors in vascular homeostasis and endothelial dysregulation, their contribution to pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH, and their potential as novel therapeutic targets for treating this devastating disease.

Abstract

We report here a significant enhancement in side-pumped solar laser collection efficiency and solar-to-laser conversion efficiency by a ring-array primary concentrator. A single and a dual-rod side-pumping configuration were numerically investigated. In the former, a thick laser rod was pumped with the full collection area of the ring-array solar concentrator. In the latter, two thin laser rods were pumped simultaneously. 49.70 W continuous-wave multimode solar laser power, corresponding to 29.06 W/m2 collection efficiency, and 3.06% solar-to-laser power conversion efficiency were numerically attained for the dual-rod side-pumping scheme, being 1.65 and 1.26 times higher than the previous experimental records with Nd:YAG side-pumping configurations. A three-folding-scheme single laser beam technique is presented, enabling a significant improvement of laser beam quality factors.

Abstract

In previous studies, researchers established mathematical models for predicting the pressure coefficient in simple cavities and tubed vortex reducers based on the assumptions of incompressibility and adiabatic reversibility. However, these mathematical models are not suitable for engineering design and cannot predict the internal pressure and temperature. In this study, we first derived mathematical equations for predicting the pressure drop and temperature change in a tubed vortex reducer, by considering the irreversible loss at the tube inlet. To compensate for the shortcomings of the incompressibility assumption, we developed an iterative alternating calculation method that revises the density. Subsequently, we established a coupled prediction model based on the aforementioned equations and methods. The verified Reynolds stress model results proved that the coupled prediction model and the single prediction model, which represents the incompressible case, yield similar results in predicting pressure under low-rotating-speed conditions. However, as the rotating speed was increased, the error of the single prediction model gradually increased, whereas the coupled prediction model still had good prediction accuracy. With an increase in the length and number of tubes, the pressure drop showed a decreasing trend, whereas the temperature change did not fluctuate significantly.

Abstract

A Mach–Zehnder interferometer is a basic building block for linear transformations that has been widely applied in optical neural networks. However, its sinusoidal transfer function leads to the inevitable dynamic phase quantization error, which is hard to eliminate through pre-calibration. Here, a strongly overcoupled ring is introduced to compensate for the phase change without adding perceptible loss. Two full-scale linearized Mach–Zehnder interferometers are proposed and experimentally validated to improve the bit precision from 4-bit to 6- and 7-bit, providing ∼3.5× to 6.1× lower phase quantization errors while maintaining the same scalability. The corresponding optical neural networks demonstrate higher training accuracy.

Abstract

Rationale Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles (MSC EVs) reverse pulmonary hypertension, but little information is available regarding what dose is effective and how often it needs to be given. This study examined the effects of dose reduction and use of longer dosing intervals and the effect of hypoxic stress of MSC prior to EV collection. Methods Adult male rats with pulmonary hypertension induced by Sugen 5416 and three weeks of hypoxia (SuHx‐pulmonary hypertension) were injected with MSC EV or phosphate buffered saline the day of removal from hypoxia using one of the following protocols: (1) Once daily for three days at doses of 0.2, 1, 5, 20, and 100 µg/kg, (2) Once weekly (100 µg/kg) for five weeks, (3) Once every other week (100 µg/kg) for 10 weeks, (4) Once daily (20 µg/kg) for three days using EV obtained from MSC exposed to 48 h of hypoxia (HxEV) or MSC kept in normoxic conditions (NxEV). Main results MSC EV reversed increases in right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), right ventricular to left ventricle + septum weight (RV/LV+S), and muscularization index of pulmonary vessels ≤50 µm when given at doses of 20 or 100 μg/kg. RVSP, RV/LV+S, and muscularization index were significantly higher in SuHx‐pulmonary hypertension rats treated once weekly with phosphate buffered saline for five weeks or every other week for 10 weeks than in normoxic controls, but not significantly increased in SuHx‐pulmonary hypertension rats given MSC EV. Both NxEV and HxEV significantly reduced RVSP, RV/LV+S, and muscularization index, but no differences were seen between treatment groups. Conclusions MSC EV are effective at reversing SuHx‐pulmonary hypertension when given at lower doses and longer dosing intervals than previously reported. Hypoxic stress does not enhance the efficacy of MSC EV at reversing pulmonary hypertension. These findings support the feasibility of MSC EV as a long‐term treatment for pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is mediated by the entry receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Although attachment factors and coreceptors facilitating entry are extensively studied, cellular entry factors inhibiting viral entry are largely unknown. Using a surfaceome CRISPR activation screen, we identified human LRRC15 as an inhibitory attachment factor for SARS-CoV-2 entry. LRRC15 directly binds to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike protein with a moderate affinity and inhibits spike-mediated entry. Analysis of human lung single-cell RNA sequencing dataset reveals that expression of LRRC15 is primarily detected in fibroblasts and particularly enriched in pathological fibroblasts in COVID-19 patients. ACE2 and LRRC15 are not coexpressed in the same cell types in the lung. Strikingly, expression of LRRC15 in ACE2-negative cells blocks spike-mediated viral entry in ACE2+ cell in trans, suggesting a protective role of LRRC15 in a physiological context. Therefore, LRRC15 represents an inhibitory attachment factor for SARS-CoV-2 that regulates viral entry in trans.

Abstract

Hurricanes cause extensive harm to local economies, and in some cases the recovery may take years. As an adequate, skilled, and trained workforce is a prerequisite for economic development and capacity building, employment plays an important role in disaster reduction and mitigation efforts. The statistical relationship between hurricane landfalls and observed changes in employment at the county level is investigated. Hurricane impact is classified into temporary and permanent categories. In the former category, the level of economic activities is lowered following a hurricane landfall but quickly recovers to the pre-storm norm. In contrast, the permanent shift alters the mean value of the data and results in lasting losses in future years. The results show that Hurricane Katrina produced significant permanent impact on Orleans County, Louisiana. Chambers and Fort Bend counties experienced a significant temporary impact due to the landfall of Hurricane Ike. The results are further discussed through a qualitative analysis of various social, economic, and engineering factors in these affected communities. The findings support the notion that a higher resilience level leads to quicker recovery after a disaster. However, the underlying data-generating processes are characterized and tested in a more detailed manner.

Abstract

With the aim of improving the aerodynamic performance of axial turbomachinery, a new type of blade is designed using the equal–variable circulation method. Taking an axial flow fan as the research object, this article describes the development of a new type of turbomachinery by changing the design method and producing a blade with forward sweep. The aerodynamic performance of the fan is simulated and compared with the experimental data. The numerical results show that the equal circulation design method improves the aerodynamic performance of the blade roots, while the variable circulation design method enhances the aerodynamic performance of the blade tips. By adopting the equal–variable circulation design method, the total pressure of the experimental fan is increased by about 4%, while the efficiency remains unchanged. Forward-swept blades with an equal–variable circulation design also improve performance over the conventional blades by changing the center-of-gravity stacking line. At low flow rates, the efficiency of the experimental fan can be increased by 7.5%, and the working range of the flow is expanded. Under high flow rates, the restriction of the blade tip on the airflow is decreased and the fluidity is slightly reduced.

Novel tough bio-based polyesters poly(ethylene 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate)s (PECTFs) were synthesized from 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDCA), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and ethylene glycol (EG). The microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties were investigated. Poly(ethylene 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate) (PETF) displayed the glass transition temperature (~64 °C) and tensile strength (~72 MPa) similar to poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). However, the nonlinear structure of TDCA resulted in an angle of 148° between carboxylic acid carbons and the S atom resulted in a permanent dipole, so the thiophene ring-flipping was hindered and the low elongation at break (~24%) was observed for PETF. The peak corresponding to the secondary relaxation shifted to lower temperature due to the incorporation of CHDM, which yielded ductile copolyesters with high elongation at break. When the CHDM content was equal to or higher than 29%, a high elongation at break (>160%) was observed.

Abstract

To bridge the gap between large-scale GCM (global climate model) outputs and regional-scale climate requirements of hydrological models, a spatiotemporally distributed downscaling model (STDDM) was developed. The STDDM was done in three stages: (1) up-sampling grid-observations and GCM simulations for spatially continuous finer grids, (2) creating the mapping relationship between the observations and the simulations differently in space and time, and (3) correcting the simulation and producing downscaled data to a spatially continuous grid scale. We applied the STDDM to precipitation downscaling in the Poyang Lake watershed using the MRI-CGCM3 (Meteorological Research Institute Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere General Circulation Model 3), with an acceptable uncertainty of ≤ 4.9 %. Then we created future precipitation changes from 1998 to 2100 (1998–2012 in the historical scenario and 2013–2100 in the RCP8.5 scenario). The precipitation changes increased heterogeneities in temporal and spatial distribution under future climate warming. In terms of temporal patterns, the wet season become wetter, while the dry season become drier. The frequency of extreme precipitation increased, while that of the moderate precipitation decreased. Total precipitation increased, while rainy days decreased. The maximum continuous dry days and the maximum daily precipitation both increased. In terms of spatial patterns, the dry area exhibited a drier condition during the dry season, and the wet area exhibited a wetter condition during the wet season. Analysis with temperature increment showed precipitation changes can be significantly explained by climate warming, with p and R≥0.56. The precipitation changes indicated that the downscaling method is reasonable, and the STDDM could be successfully applied to the basin-scale region based on a GCM. The results implied an increasing risk of floods and droughts under global warming, which were a reference for water balance analysis and water resource planning.

Abstract

Flow separation commonly affects the stability of turbomachines, especially under low-flowrate conditions. Compared with conventional blades, a forward-swept blade is more efficient at high flowrates. However, experiments and numerical simulations show that a forward-swept blade produces an unstable region under low flowrate. In this paper, the topological analysis is used to analyze the structure and size of flow separation in forward swept blades. Three-dimensional structure and formation mechanism of vortices in forward-swept blades are analyzed using the cross-section flow pattern method. For forward-swept blades, flow separation mainly occurs at the blade tip and corner, accompanied by clear velocity fluctuations, the break-up of shed vortices, and diffusion. With decreasing flowrate, the shedding vortices move forward and the speed of vortex annihilation gradually decreases. In addition, the number of singularities in the rotor passage increases with the decrease of flow rate, and the region affected by shedding vortex increases. The rotating direction of internal vortex in turbomachinery is fixed. The pressure surface, passage vortex, and concentrated shedding vortex were found to rotate clockwise, whereas the suction surface, corner vortex, and shedding vortex rotate in a counterclockwise direction.

Abstract

Abstract Increased use and improved methodology of carbonate clumped isotope thermometry has greatly enhanced our ability to interrogate a suite of Earth‐system processes. However, interlaboratory discrepancies in quantifying carbonate clumped isotope (Δ47) measurements persist, and their specific sources remain unclear. To address interlaboratory differences, we first provide consensus values from the clumped isotope community for four carbonate standards relative to heated and equilibrated gases with 1,819 individual analyses from 10 laboratories. Then we analyzed the four carbonate standards along with three additional standards, spanning a broad range of δ47 and Δ47 values, for a total of 5,329 analyses on 25 individual mass spectrometers from 22 different laboratories. Treating three of the materials as known standards and the other four as unknowns, we find that the use of carbonate reference materials is a robust method for standardization that yields interlaboratory discrepancies entirely consistent with intralaboratory analytical uncertainties. Carbonate reference materials, along with measurement and data processing practices described herein, provide the carbonate clumped isotope community with a robust approach to achieve interlaboratory agreement as we continue to use and improve this powerful geochemical tool. We propose that carbonate clumped isotope data normalized to the carbonate reference materials described in this publication should be reported as Δ47 (I‐CDES) values for Intercarb‐Carbon Dioxide Equilibrium Scale.
