Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation

This article proposes a correction method for image enhancement models based on an adaptive local gamma transformation and color compensation inspired by the illumination reflection model. It is demonstrated that the proposed method adaptively reduces the influence of uneven illumination to avoid overenhancement and improves the visual effect of low-light images

Averaged Behavior Model of Current-Mode Buck Converters for Transient Power Noise Analysis

Accurate Evaluation and Simulation of Power Noise is Critical in the Development of Modern Electronic Devices. However, the Widely Used Target Impedance Fails to Predict the Low-Frequency Noise Generated in a Device Due to the Existence of the Dc–dc Converter, Whose Output Impedance Can Change under Different Loading Conditions. a Physical Circuit Model is Then Desired to Replicate the Behavior of a Voltage Regulator Module, and the Average Technique is an Efficient Method to Estimate the Noise of a Pulse Width-Modulated (PWM) Converter. with the Emergence of Converters with Adaptive On-Time (AOT) Controllers, More Complex Averaging Methods Are Required, But None of Them Supports Transient Simulation. a General, Efficient, and Accurate Modeling Technique is Presented in This Article, Whose Framework Supports Both Current-Mode PWM and AOT Controllers. in Addition, a Novel Two-Step Parameter Extraction Method is Proposed, Which Can Be Used to Evaluate the Equivalent Values of Internal Feedback Parameters of an Encrypted Simulation Model or from Measurement. the Modeling Method is Validated by Both Simulation and Measurement

The Spatial Position of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Ecological Rule of Law: From the Perspective of Marxist Space Theory

Space theory is an important part of Marxism. It is the source of the continuation, inheritance, and development of the space theory of New Marxism in the second half of the 20th century. The Marxist space theory adheres to the people-centered space position, which has had an undeniable impact on the post-Marxist party’s ruling philosophy, ruling guidance, and ruling strategy. There has formed a profound, extensive, and practical ecological rule of law, namely Xi Jinping’s thoughts on the ecological rule of law, in the great practice of leading the construction of ecological civilization in China in the new era since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The idea of Xi Jinping’s thought of the ecological rule of law adheres to the people-centered space position, attaches great importance to building high-quality ecological space for the people, practically guarantees the equal enjoyment of high-quality ecological space by the people according to law, and advocates the construction of high-quality ecological space for all mankind

Controlling Factors and Forming Types of Deep Shale Gas Enrichment in Sichuan Basin, China

In order to find out the enrichment mechanism and forming type of deep shale gas, taking the Longmaxi Formation shale in the Desheng–Yunjin Syncline area of Sichuan Basin as an example, we determined the mineralogy, organic geochemistry, physical property analysis, gas and water content, and the influence of three factors, namely sedimentation, structural conditions, and hydrogeological conditions, on the enrichment of shale gas. The results show that Longmaxi Formation shale in Desheng–Yunjin Syncline area is a good hydrocarbon source rock that is in the over-mature stage and has the characteristics of high porosity, low permeability, and high-water saturation. The contents of clay and quartz are high, and the brittleness index is quite different. According to the mineral composition, nine types of lithofacies can be found. The development characteristics of Longmaxi Formation shale and the sealing property of the roof have no obvious influence on the enrichment of shale gas, but the tectonic activities and hydrodynamic conditions have obvious influence on the enrichment of shale gas. The main control factors for shale gas enrichment in different regions are different. According to the main control factors, the gas accumulation in the study area can be divided into three types: fault-controlled gas, anticline-controlled gas, and hydrodynamic-controlled gas. The fault-controlled gas type is distributed in the north of the Desheng syncline and the north of the Yunjin syncline, the anticline-controlled gas type is distributed in the south of the Desheng syncline and the south of the Yunjin syncline, and the hydrodynamic-controlled gas type is distributed in the middle of the Baozang syncline. This result is of great significance for deep shale gas exploration

Impact of Mineral Reactive Surface Area on Forecasting Geological Carbon Sequestration in a CO2-EOR Field

Mineral reactive surface area (RSA) is one of the key factors that control mineral reactions, as it describes how much mineral is accessible and can participate in reactions. This work aims to evaluate the impact of mineral RSA on numerical simulations for CO2 storage at depleted oil fields. The Farnsworth Unit (FWU) in northern Texas was chosen as a case study. A simplified model was used to screen representative cases from 87 RSA combinations to reduce the computational cost. Three selected cases with low, mid, and high RSA values were used for the FWU model. Results suggest that the impact of RSA values on CO2 mineral trapping is more complex than it is on individual reactions. While the low RSA case predicted negligible porosity change and an insignificant amount of CO2 mineral trapping for the FWU model, the mid and high RSA cases forecasted up to 1.19% and 5.04% of porosity reduction due to mineral reactions, and 2.46% and 9.44% of total CO2 trapped in minerals by the end of the 600-year simulation, respectively. The presence of hydrocarbons affects geochemical reactions and can lead to net CO2 mineral trapping, whereas mineral dissolution is forecasted when hydrocarbons are removed from the system
