The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe

The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our Universe, its current state and its eventual fate. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. LBNE is conceived around three central components: (1) a new, high-intensity neutrino source generated from a megawatt-class proton accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, (2) a near neutrino detector just downstream of the source, and (3) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber deployed as a far detector deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. This facility, located at the site of the former Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota, is approximately 1,300 km from the neutrino source at Fermilab -- a distance (baseline) that delivers optimal sensitivity to neutrino charge-parity symmetry violation and mass ordering effects. This ambitious yet cost-effective design incorporates scalability and flexibility and can accommodate a variety of upgrades and contributions. With its exceptional combination of experimental configuration, technical capabilities, and potential for transformative discoveries, LBNE promises to be a vital facility for the field of particle physics worldwide, providing physicists from around the globe with opportunities to collaborate in a twenty to thirty year program of exciting science. In this document we provide a comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will possess.Comment: Major update of previous version.

Finite element analysis of the plastic buckling of a cantilever beam

Finite element analysis offers a general plastic buckling solution of structures by employing a nonlinear static plastic analysis with gradually increasing loads to seek the load level at which the structure becomes unstable. Nonlinear plastic finite element analysis requires inclusion of geometric nonlinearities and material nonlinearities in the model. Geometric nonlinearities refer to the nonlinearities in the structure due to changing geometry as it deflects. There are two kinds of geometric nonlinearities concerned in plastic buckling analysis, large strain and large deflection. On the present work, Newton-Raphson procedure, a process to solve the nonlinear equations by increasing load in several steps and iterative computation to reach the convergence criteria, is applied for the plastic buckling analysis. -- A general model for rectangular cross section cantilever beams is presented, which flexibly defines the material property and dimensions of a cantilever beam. Overall behavior of the beam is studied by combining analytical methods for elastic buckling analysis and finite element analysis for plastic buckling analysis. Two non-dimensional parameter ratios of thickness by length t/l and ratio of height by thickness h/t are used to evaluate the overall behavior of a cantilever beam. The two boundaries of elastic buckling and yielding, and plastic buckling and collapse are also investigated

Distribution characteristics of typical geological relics in the Western Sichuan Plateau

The Western Sichuan Plateau (WSP), located in the eastern margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, is the most strongly deformed region of the continental crust in China. Frequent tectonic movements shape the unique topography and landform of the WSP and have also produced abundant geological heritage resources. Based on the existing geological heritage survey data in Sichuan Province, the nearest index analysis method of employing a regional spatial point model was used to reveal the distribution rules and the genetic mechanism of typical geological relics in the WSP for the first time. Results indicate that the formation and distribution of geological relics in the WSP are generally controlled by tectonic movement and supplemented by the comprehensive action of external forces such as flowing water. Their distribution shows a condensed spatial distribution pattern and extends along the strike of a fault zone and river strike strip. Finally, based on the characteristics of geological relics in the WSP, some suggestions on the protection and development of regional geological relics were put forward

Effects of Different Tillage Depths on Soil Physical Properties and the Growth and Yield of Tobacco in the Mountainous Chongqing Region of China

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is the most important cash crop in the mountainous Chongqing region, where mini rotary tillers are widely used for land preparation. The decline in tobacco yields has been partially attributed to deteriorating soil physical properties and the formation of plough pans as a result of the repeated use of the mini rotary tiller. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different tillage depths on soil physical properties and the growth and yield of tobacco. Three tillage depths were evaluated: mini rotary tillage to 15 cm (T15) as a control, medium-deep tillage to 25 cm (T25), and deep tillage to 35 cm (T35). Total porosity, capillary porosity, and soil water content were measured for each treatment, and the root distribution, agronomical traits, and dry matter accumulation were monitored at different growing stages. Tobacco yield and output value were determined following the harvest. Compared to T15, T35 significantly increased total porosity and capillary porosity in the 10–40 cm soil layer and soil water content in the 0–40 cm soil layer, while T25 improved soil physical properties but not significantly. T35 significantly promoted dry matter accumulation and root, stem, and leaf growth compared to T15, while differences in some agronomic traits between T25 and T15 were not significant. Compared to T15, T35 and T25 increased the tobacco yield by 17.2–18.9% and 8.0–10.1%, respectively, and increased the output value by 44.4–46.4% and 29.2–32.6%, respectively. The results indicate that deep tillage improves soil physical properties, breaks plough pans, stimulates root growth, and increases tobacco yield and output value

Long non-coding RNAs in drug resistance across the top five cancers: Update on their roles and mechanisms

Cancer drug resistance stands as a formidable obstacle in the relentless fight against the top five prevalent cancers: breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and gastric cancers. These malignancies collectively account for a significant portion of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In recent years, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal players in the intricate landscape of cancer biology, and their roles in driving drug resistance are steadily coming to light. This comprehensive review seeks to underscore the paramount significance of lncRNAs in orchestrating resistance across a spectrum of different cancer drugs, including platinum drugs (DDP), tamoxifen, trastuzumab, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), paclitaxel (PTX), and Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) across the most prevalent types of cancer. It delves into the multifaceted mechanisms through which lncRNAs exert their influence on drug resistance, shedding light on their regulatory roles in various facets of cancer biology. A comprehensive understanding of these lncRNA-mediated mechanisms may pave the way for more effective and personalized treatment strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes in these challenging malignancies

Effects of Incorporating Different Proportions of Humic Acid into Phosphate Fertilizers on Phosphorus Migration and Transformation in Soil

Incorporating humic acid (HA) into phosphate fertilizers to produce HA-enhanced phosphate fertilizers (HAPs) can improve the migration and availability of fertilizer-derived phosphorus (P) in soil. However, the optimal proportion of HA remains inconsistent. Here, we investigated the effects of HAPs with different HA proportions (0.1–10% w/w) on water-soluble P fixation rate, P migration, P transformation, and soil microorganisms, and analyzed the main P forms in HAP using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The results showed that incorporating 0.1% HA had no impact on P migration and transformation, whereas incorporating 0.5–10% HA increased the migration distance and cumulative migration of fertilizer-derived P by 0–5 mm and 17.1–30.3%, respectively, compared with conventional phosphate fertilizer (CP). Meanwhile, HAPs with 0.5–10% HA significantly reduced the water-soluble P fixation rate by 18.3–25.6%, and significantly increased the soil average available P (AP) content in 0–40 mm soil layer around the P application site by 6.2–12.9% relative to CP, partly due to the phosphate monoesters in HAPs. Clustering analysis revealed that 0.5% HA had similar effects relative to higher HA proportions (1% and 5%), and the inhibition of HAP with 0.5% HA on bacteria and fungi was also greater than that of CP due to the high concentration of soil P. Overall, 0.5% was determined to be the optimal amount of HA for HAP production, which provided a theoretical basis for the development of high-efficiency phosphate fertilizer

Overcoming the Dilemma between Low Electrical Resistance and High Corrosion Resistance Using a Ta/(Ta,Ti)N/TiN/Ti Multilayer for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Bipolar plates in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are confronted by the dilemma of low contact resistance and high corrosion resistance; this study aimed to simultaneously satisfy these dimensions in a harsh environment. Using thick multilayer coatings can improve the corrosion resistance, but the contact resistance would be largely compromised. To address this challenge, we propose compatible tantalum/titanium-based coatings on 316L stainless steel (SS316L) as bipolar plates for PEMFCs. With the transition layer, the optimal TaN/(Ta,Ti)N/TiN/Ti coating exhibits an ultralow corrosion current density of 0.369 μA·cm−2 (at +0.6 V vs. SCE) and a contact resistance of 6 mΩ cm2 at 138 N/cm2 after 5 h of potentiostatic polarization, both of which meet the standard of the U.S. Department of Energy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and an equivalent electrical circuit model further elucidated that TaN/(Ta,Ti)N/TiN/Ti coating significantly impedes the oxidation reaction and dissolution of metals and provides good protection for the SS316L
