    摘要:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary research field with widespread applications. It aims at developing theoretical, methodological, technological, and applied systems that simulate, enhance, and assist human intelligence. Recently, notable accomplishments of artificial intelligence technology have been achieved in astronomical data processing, establishing this technology as central to numerous astronomical research areas such as radio astronomy, stellar and galactic (Milky Way) studies, exoplanets surveys, cosmology, and solar physics. This article systematically reviews representative applications of artificial intelligence technology to astronomical data processing, with comprehensive description of specific cases: pulsar candidate identification, fast radio burst detection, gravitational wave detection, spectral classification, and radio frequency interference mitigation. Furthermore, it discusses possible future applications to provide perspectives for astronomical research in the artificial intelligence era.

    摘要: To assess the water use of a clumped bamboo species, we investigated water use, physiological responses, and structural changes related to culm aging in the clumped bamboo species Bambusa chungii. Anisohydric behavior was characterized by the changed leaf water potential (ΨL), constant stomatal conductance (gs), and the low stomatal sensitivity (–m) in the young (0.52) and mature groups as well as the aged group (0.41). Intercellular CO2 (Ci) was negatively related to gs, especially during the dry season (R2 = 0.62). Hydraulic conductivity (ks) decreased by 57.9% and 58.8% in the mature and aged groups. This was accompanied by a leaf area (AL) that decreased by 55.7% and 63.7% and water transport path (h) that shortened by 8.5% and 23.3% to maintain the hydraulic safety. The photosynthetic rate (An) was similar among the three age groups even during the dry season when water deficits occurred. This might be due to compensation by increased chlorophyll content (5.3% greater for the mature group) and stomata density (7.4% and 8.1% greater for the mature and aged groups). Physiological and structural regulation contributes to reproductive success for B. chungii.

    摘要: To promote the utilization efficiency of coal resources, and to assist with the control of sulphur during gasification and/or downstream processes, it is essential to gain basic knowledge of sulphur transformation associated with gasification performance. In this research we investigated the influence of O-2/C molar ratio both on gasification performance and sulphur transformation of a low rank coal, and the sulphur transformation mechanism was also discussed. Experiments were performed in a circulating fluidized bed gasifier with O-2/C molar ratio ranging from 0.39 to 0.78 mol/mol. The results showed that increasing the O-2/C molar ratio from 0.39 to 0.78 mol/mol can increase carbon conversion from 57.65% to 91.92%, and increase sulphur release ratio from 29.66% to 63.11%. The increase of O-2/C molar ratio favors the formation of H2S, and also favors the retained sulphur transforming to more stable forms. Due to the reducing conditions of coal gasification, H2S is the main form of the released sulphur, which could be formed by decomposition of pyrite and by secondary reactions. Bottom char shows lower sulphur content than fly ash, and mainly exist as sulphates. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements also show that the intensity of pyrite declines and the intensity of sulphates increases for fly ash and bottom char, and the change is more obvious for bottom char. During CFB gasification process, bigger char particles circulate in the system and have longer residence time for further reaction, which favors the release of sulphur species and can enhance the retained sulphur transforming to more stable forms.
