A colloidal damper (CD) can dissipate a significant amount of vibrations and impact energy owing to the interface power that is generated when it is used. It is of great practical significance to study the influence of the nanochannel structure of hydrophobic silica gel in the CD damping medium on the running speed of the CD. The fractal theory was applied to observe the characteristics of the micropore structure of the hydrophobic silica gel by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the primary particles were selected to carry out fractal analysis, and the two-dimensional fractal dimension of the pore area and the tortuous fractal dimension of the hydrophobic silica gel pore structure were calculated. The fractal percolation model of water in hydrophobic silica nanochannels based on the slip theory could thus be obtained. This model revealed the relationship between the micropore structure parameters of the silica gel and the running speed of the CD. The CD running speed increases with the addition of grafted molecules and the reduction in pore size of the silica gel particles. Continuous loading velocity testing of the CD loaded with hydrophobic silica gels with different pore structures was conducted. By comparing the experimental results with the calculation results of the fractal percolation model, it was determined that the fractal percolation model can better characterize the change trend of the CD running velocity for the first loading, but the fractal dimension was changed from the second loading, caused by the small amount of water retained in the nanochannel, leading to the failure of fractal characterization.

Coal is a natural porous media, its porosity and structural integrity influenced the gas adsorption and desorption characteristics greatly, as well as physical and mechanical properties of coal. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is applied to acquire SEM image of four kinds of coal samples at different zoom levels, and the box dimension can be worked out based on the pore preprocessing of SEM images. Then, the numerical value of box dimension is used to describe the development degree of the four kinds of coal sample and four development degrees’ sequence. At last, the intrinsic relevance between fractal dimension and other parameters is analyzed through mathematic method. The results show as follows: coal sample has self-similarity characteristic; the fractal dimension is related to both the total number of pores and porosity degree; the data of the coal pore, analyzed through fractal dimension, are consistent with that through traditional method; what’s more, fractal dimension has more advantages in describing accuracy and simplicity.

Abstract Porosity is the most common form of reservoirs, and its size, shape, and connectivity directly affect the capacity of oil and gas storage and production. To study the micro–nano-pore structure characteristics of shale oil reservoirs and quantitatively characterize its heterogeneity, this work uses high-precision high-pressure mercury intrusion (HPMI) experimental techniques to study the micro–nano-pore structure characteristics of shale oil, and based on the experimental data, fractal theory is used to quantitatively characterize its heterogeneity. The results of the study show that the micro–nano-pores in the shale oil reservoir are concentrated and continuous, and the pore radius is mainly distributed among the range of 30–500 nm, nanoscale pores are an important part of the pores of the shale oil reservoir. The fractal dimension of the shale oil reservoir is larger than the fractal dimension of typical tight oil reservoirs, indicating that the heterogeneity of shale oil reservoir is stronger. The research results have some theoretical and practical significance for the production of inter-salt shale oil reservoirs.

In science, safety can seem unfashionable. Satisfying safety requirements can slow the pace of research, make it cumbersome, or cost significant amounts of money. The logic of rules can seem unclear. Compliance can feel like a negative incentive. So besides the obvious benefit that safety keeps one safe, why do some scientists preach "safe science is good science"? Understanding the principles that underlie this maxim might help to create a strong positive incentive to incorporate safety into the pursuit of groundbreaking science.<div><br></div><div>This essay explains how safety can enhance the quality of an experiment and promote innovation in one's research. Being safe induces a researcher to have <b>greater control</b> over an experiment, which reduces the <b>uncertainty</b> that characterizes the experiment.

AbstractTo investigate the influence of the fissure morphology on the dynamic mechanical properties of the rock and the crack propagation, a drop hammer impact test device was used to conduct impact failure tests on sandstones with different fissure numbers and fissure dips, simultaneously recorded the crack growth after each impact. The box fractal dimension is used to quantitatively analyze the dynamic change in the sandstone cracks and a fractal model of crack growth over time is established based on fractal theory. The results demonstrate that under impact test conditions of the same mass and different heights, the energy absorbed by sandstone accounts for about 26.7% of the gravitational potential energy. But at the same height and different mass, the energy absorbed by the sandstone accounts for about 68.6% of the total energy. As the fissure dip increases and the number of fissures increases, the dynamic peak stress and dynamic elastic modulus of the fractured sandstone gradually decrease. The fractal dimensions of crack evolution tend to increase with time as a whole and assume as a parabolic. Except for one fissure, 60° and 90° specimens, with the extension of time, the increase rate of fractal dimension is decreasing correspondingly.

This paper applies fractal theory to research of green space in megacity parks due to the lack of a sufficient qualitative description of the scale structure of park green space, a quantifiable evaluation system, and operable planning methods in traditional studies. Taking Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen as examples, GIS spatial analysis technology and the Zipf model are used to calculate the fractal dimension (q), the goodness of fit (R2), and the degree of difference (C) to deeply interpret the connotation of indicators and conduct a comparative analysis between cities to reveal fractal characteristics and laws. The research results show that (1) the fractal dimension is related to the complexity of the park green space system; (2) the fractal dimension characterizes the hierarchical iteration of the park green space to a certain extent and reflects the internal order of the scale distribution; (3) the scale distribution of green space in megacity parks deviates from the ideal pyramid configuration; and (4) there are various factors affecting the scale structure of park green space, such as natural base conditions, urban spatial structure, and the continuation of historical genes working together. On this basis, a series of targeted optimization strategies are proposed.

Chinese chive usually becomes decayed after a short storage time, which was closely observed with the redox imbalance. To cope with this practical problem, in this report, molecular hydrogen (H2) was used to evaluate its influence in maintaining storage quality of Chinese chive, and the changes in antioxidant capacity were also analyzed. Chives were treated with 1%, 2%, or 3% H2, and with air as the control, and then were stored at 4 ± 1 °C. We observed that, compared with other treatment groups, the application of 3% H2 could significantly prolong the shelf life of Chinese chive, which was also confirmed by the obvious mitigation of decreased decay index, the loss ratio of weight, and the reduction in soluble protein content. Meanwhile, the decreasing tendency in total phenolic, flavonoid, and vitamin C contents was obviously impaired or slowed down by H2. Results of antioxidant capacity revealed that the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was differentially alleviated, which positively matched with 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and the improved activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Above results clearly suggest that postharvest molecular hydrogen application might be a potential useful approach to improve the storage quality of Chinese chive, which is partially achieved through the alleviation of oxidative damage happening during the storage periods. These findings also provide potential theoretical and practical significance for transportation and consumption of perishable vegetables.
