Fast approximate 1D inversion of frequency domain electromagnetic data
Authors: Christensen Niels B. , Fitzpatrick Andrew , Munday Tim 
Published: January 2010

ABSTRACTWe present a fast approximate method for 1D inversion of frequency domain data and apply it to frequency domain helicopter‐borne data from the Bookpurnong area of the Murray River, South Australia. The method is based on fast approximate forward computation of transient electromagnetic step responses and their derivatives with respect to the model parameters of a 1D model, with the frequency domain responses and derivatives then found through Fourier transformation of the time‐domain counterparts. The inversion is carried out with multi‐layer models in an iterative, constrained least‐squares inversion scheme including explicit formulation of the model regularization through a model covariance matrix. The method is 30 times faster than conventional full inversion for a layered earth model and produces model sections of concatenated 1D models and contoured maps of mean conductivity in elevation intervals almost indistinguishable from those of a conventional full inversion. In a theoretical forward and inverse modelling study, the fast approximate and conventional computation methods are compared demonstrating the applicability of the approximate method and its limitations.Applied to the Bookpurnong RESOLVE® FDHEM data set from South Australia, the inversion produces model sections and conductivity maps that reveal the distribution of conductivity in the area and thereby the distribution of salinity. This information is crucial for any remediation effort aimed at alleviating the salinization of the river and the degradation of floodplain vegetation and associated ecosystems.

ABSTRACTThe impact of untreated sewage disposal and sewage irrigation practice around Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India, on groundwater contamination is studied using surface geoelectrical techniques. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings data were recorded in and around a sewage‐irrigated area in Saliyar and Khanjarpur and a remote site where groundwater contamination due to sewage was not expected. The sewage is mainly composed of domestic and municipal waste. Lithology data was used for correlating the resistivity values, which were derived from 2D inversion of resistivity and 1D Occam inversion of TEM data, with the subsurface formation. These two methods were used jointly to increase the reliability of the results in mapping of ground‐water contamination. It was thus observed that the sewage pollutants, infiltrated through the soil, reach the shallow unconfined aquifer in and around the polluted area, up to a limited distance from the existent waste disposal sites. The present study suggests that the groundwater present in the shallow unconfined aquifer (<10 m depth) close to waste disposal sites is contaminated. It was noticed that the decrease in the resistivity of a shallow unconfined aquifer is up to 50% in comparison with that of the shallow unconfined aquifer at a remote site located about 20 km north‐west of the disposal sites. The extent of the polluted aquifer zone was delineated by comparing its resistivity with that of the same aquifer at a point away from the disposal sites. Thus, the extent of groundwater pollution and relative direction of its flow were also determined qualitatively.

Published: January 2010

ABSTRACTGravity and resistivity data were used in the present study for groundwater exploration using a joint inversion process. One hundred fifty three gravity stations and thirty two vertical electrical soundings were used to determine the thickness and resistivity distribution of the different geological units in the study area. Then, the gravity and resistivity data were utilized concurrently to identify the structural elements, stratigraphic units and groundwater potential in the study area. The results of the joint inverse interpretation have strengthened the analysis and consistency of the outcome. The results revealed the presence of four layers. The first is the Quaternary deposits of thickness ranging from 0.5–2 m; the second layer is the Hommath Formation of Middle Miocene age deposits, which have resistivity ranging from and thicknesses ranging from 5–40 m. The third layer is the Gabal Ahmar Formation (Oligocene age), which has resistivity ranging from and a thickness ranging from 10–342 m. The fourth layer is limestone of the Upper Eocene age that exhibits high resistivity values ranging from , depths ranging from 55–350 m and bulk density 2600 kg/m3. The results also indicate that the area is dissected by different fault elements trending N‐S, NE‐SW, NE‐SW and E‐W.

ImportanceAge-standardized dementia mortality rates are on the rise. Whether long-term consumption of olive oil and diet quality are associated with dementia-related death is unknown.ObjectiveTo examine the association of olive oil intake with the subsequent risk of dementia-related death and assess the joint association with diet quality and substitution for other fats.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prospective cohort study examined data from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS; 1990-2018) and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS; 1990-2018). The population included women from the NHS and men from the HPFS who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Data were analyzed from May 2022 to July 2023.ExposuresOlive oil intake was assessed every 4 years using a food frequency questionnaire and categorized as (1) never or less than once per month, (2) greater than 0 to less than or equal to 4.5 g/d, (3) greater than 4.5 g/d to less than or equal to 7 g/d, and (4) greater than 7 g/d. Diet quality was based on the Alternative Healthy Eating Index and Mediterranean Diet score.Main Outcome and MeasureDementia death was ascertained from death records. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs adjusted for confounders including genetic, sociodemographic, and lifestyle factors.ResultsOf 92 383 participants, 60 582 (65.6%) were women and the mean (SD) age was 56.4 (8.0) years. During 28 years of follow-up (2 183 095 person-years), 4751 dementia-related deaths occurred. Individuals who were homozygous for the apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) allele were 5 to 9 times more likely to die with dementia. Consuming at least 7 g/d of olive oil was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death (adjusted pooled HR, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.64-0.81]) compared with never or rarely consuming olive oil (P for trend &amp;lt; .001); results were consistent after further adjustment for APOE ε4. No interaction by diet quality scores was found. In modeled substitution analyses, replacing 5 g/d of margarine and mayonnaise with the equivalent amount of olive oil was associated with an 8% (95% CI, 4%-12%) to 14% (95% CI, 7%-20%) lower risk of dementia mortality. Substitutions for other vegetable oils or butter were not significant.Conclusions and RelevanceIn US adults, higher olive oil intake was associated with a lower risk of dementia-related mortality, irrespective of diet quality. Beyond heart health, the findings extend the current dietary recommendations of choosing olive oil and other vegetable oils for cognitive-related health.

AbstractA sustainable strategy based on chitin from waste seafood is proposed to remove nano‐size microplastics in water. A chitin nanofibrous foam is constructed by a new hydrogen bond rearrangement scheme without any crosslinking, which delivers an impressive high adsorption capacity of 411.14 ± 1.50 mg g−1 for small‐sized (< 1 µm) microplastics. This excellent adsorption capacity stems from the rough fibrous surface structure of the highly porous foam, the positively charged nature of the partially deacetylated chitin and other molecular interactions introduced by the activation and increased exposure of ‐OH, ‐NH2 and ‐NHCO‐ groups. Molecular dynamics simulation further demonstrates that C‐H‐π, O‐H‐π, and C = O‐π interactions between the microplastics and chitin foam facilitates the efficient removal of microplastics. A high removal efficiency is maintained even in salty water, a property that exemplifies good adaptability to various water bodies. Finally, two proof‐of‐principle scenarios are presented for converting the recovered microplastics into value‐added products. Thus, the entire cycling strategy represents a powerful remedy for the urgent yet challenging ocean microplastic pollution problem.

AbstractDiabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), a serious and increasingly common chronic issue among diabetics, often do not respond well to generalized treatment strategies. Hypoxia and the overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in inflammatory dysregulation and subsequent imbalance in macrophage phenotypes, are critical factors contributing to the prolonged non‐healing of DFU wounds. These two issues often interact in a continuous, problematic cycle. Presently, there is a lack of comprehensive strategies aimed at addressing both of these factors simultaneously to interrupt this detrimental cycle. Herein, an immunomodulatory hydrogel (PHG2) is developed for reshaping the hostile DFU microenvironment. The engineered PHG2 not only removes excess internally‐produced ROS but also generates O2, with its efficiency further boosted by local hyperthermia (42.5 °C) activated by near‐infrared light. Through both in vitro and in vivo studies, along with transcriptomic assessment, it is confirmed that PHG2 disrupts the detrimental feedback loop between ROS and inflammation while also lowering the M1/M2 macrophage ratio. Such discoveries contribute to a significant enhancement in the healing process of injuries that undergo a gradual increase in movement, covering wounds from the back, mouth, to the foot. Ultimately, this method provides an easy, safe, and highly effective solution for treating DFUs.

AbstractAll‐solid‐state battery (ASSB) is a potential future energy storage technology to power the future world. However, the solid–solid contacts among the various components in ASSB often require a high stack pressure which is unrealistic in practical applications. Here it is shown that by carbon‐coating Sb2Se3 (Sb2Se3@C) nanorods, a record low stack pressure is attained, and the Sb2Se3@C electrode exhibits outstanding performance of 862 mAh g−1 over 50 cycles at 0.1 A g−1 when it is operated at 5 MPa stack pressure in an ASSB using LiIn anode and Li10Si0.3PS6.7Cl1.8 solid‐state electrolytes. Furthermore, a record high active material loading (the mass fraction of Sb2Se3@C being 0.7 in composite cathode) is achieved, and the Sb2Se3@C based ASSB delivers a reversible capacity of 2.6 mAh cm−2 at 0.1 A g−1 after 100 cycles. This work provides a strategy to significantly increase the cathode active material loading and dramatically reduce the stack pressure of ASSBs, which brings it one step closer toward the practical implementation of ASSBs for energy storage applications.

AbstractThe electrooxidation of urea holds great potential for converting urea from wastewater into hydrogen, contributing to environmental protection and sustainable energy production. This necessitates the development of highly efficient and stable catalysts for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). In this study, a NiCoCr‐LDH/NF (nickel‐cobalt‐chromium layered double hydroxide/nickel foam) electrode is successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method, demonstrating excellent electrocatalytic performance with a low work potential of 1.38 V at a high current density of 100 mA cm−2. In situ, Raman spectra analysis revealed that the incorporation of chromium (Cr) facilitated the generation of active γ‐NiOOH species and catalyst reconstruction. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirmed that the lower formation energy of γ‐NiOOH is due to the weakened interaction of O─H bonds because of a narrow energy range of hybridization between O‐2pz orbitals and H‐1s orbitals. The introduction of Cr also improved the adsorption energy of urea molecules and its intermediates, thereby enhancing the overall activity of UOR. With its excellent electrocatalytic performance, unique electronic states, and coordination structures, the NiCoCr‐LDH/NF electrode showcases great potential for practical applications in the field of energy catalysis.

AbstractHigh‐performance optoelectronic bifunctional cathode materials may simultaneously seize and store solar energy in lithium‐ion batteries to boost their storage capacity. However, such photoactive cathodes with typical intrinsic features are generally limited for UV light applications and offer poor sunlight harvesting which results in lower energy density. Here, the assembly of two oligomers, poly(vat blue 6) (PVB6) and poly(vat blue 6 sulfide) (PVB6S) is reported, through polymerization to extend the conjugated structure of organic optoelectronic small molecules. These oligomers are effectively employed as photo‐assisted bifunctional cathodes for lithium‐ion batteries. The extended conjugated structure narrows the energy gap, promoting exciton dissociation and expanding the light absorption region. PVB6S possesses a narrow energy gap of 1.565 eV, and the discharge‐specific capacity of the battery with PVB6S is enhanced from 203 to 411 mAh g−1 under light illumination, which is approximately twice the original capacity. This demonstrates the extended conjugated structure and charge separation in a cell, which synergistically contributes to the rational design of photo‐assisted bifunctional cathode materials and complementary enhances the performance of lithium‐ion batteries.

AbstractEfforts to engineer high‐performance protein‐based materials inspired by nature have mostly focused on altering naturally occurring sequences to confer the desired functionalities, whereas de novo design lags significantly behind and calls for unconventional innovative approaches. Here, using partially disordered elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs) as initial building blocks this work shows that de novo engineering of protein materials can be accelerated through hybrid biomimetic design, which this work achieves by integrating computational modeling, deep neural network, and recombinant DNA technology. This generalizable approach involves incorporating a series of de novo‐designed sequences with α‐helical conformation and genetically encoding them into biologically inspired intrinsically disordered repeating motifs. The new ELP variants maintain structural conformation and showed tunable supramolecular self‐assembly out of thermal equilibrium with phase behavior in vitro. This work illustrates the effective translation of the predicted molecular designs in structural and functional materials. The proposed methodology can be applied to a broad range of partially disordered biomacromolecules and potentially pave the way toward the discovery of novel structural proteins.

Abstract
Ionic liquid‐based thermoelectric gels become a compelling candidate for thermoelectric power generation and sensing due to their giant thermopower, good thermal stability, high flexibility, and low‐cost production. However, the materials reported to date suffer from canonical trade‐offs between self‐healing ability, stretchability, strength, and ionic conductivity. Herein, a self‐healing and tough ionogel (PEO/LiTFSI/EmimCl) with tunable thermoelectric properties by tailoring metal‐halogen bonding interactions, is developed. Different affinities between polymer matrix and salts are exploited to induce phase separation, resulting in simultaneous enhancement of ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and spectroscopic analyses show that Cl− ions impair the lithium‐ether oxygen coordination, leading to changes in chain conformation. The migration difference between cations and anions is thus widened and a transition from n‐type to p‐type thermoelectric ionogels is realized. Furthermore, the dynamic interactions of metal‐ligand coordination and hydrogen bonding yield autonomously self‐healing capability, large stretchability (2000%), and environment‐friendly recyclability. Benefiting from these fascinating properties, the multifunctional PEO‐based ionogels are applied in sensors, supercapacitors, and thermoelectric power generation modules. The strategy of tuning solvation dominance to address the trade‐offs in thermoelectric ionogels and optimize their macroscopic properties offers new possibilities for the design of advanced ionogels.

AbstractEfferocytosis‐mediated inflammatory reversal plays a crucial role in bone repairing process. However, in refractory bone defects, the macrophage continual efferocytosis may be suppressed due to the disrupted microenvironment homeostasis, particularly the loss of apoptotic signals and overactivation of intracellular oxidative stress. In this study, a polydopamine‐coated short fiber matrix containing biomimetic “apoptotic signals” to reconstruct the microenvironment and reactivate macrophage continual efferocytosis for inflammatory reversal and bone defect repair is presented. The “apoptotic signals” (AM/CeO2) are prepared using CeO2 nanoenzymes with apoptotic neutrophil membrane coating for macrophage recognition and oxidative stress regulation. Additionally, a short fiber “biomimetic matrix” is utilized for loading AM/CeO2 signals via abundant adhesion sites involving π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. Ultimately, the implantable apoptosis‐mimetic nanoenzyme/short‐fiber matrixes (PFS@AM/CeO2), integrating apoptotic signals and biomimetic matrixes, are constructed to facilitate inflammatory reversal and reestablish the pro‐efferocytosis microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo data indicate that the microenvironment biomimetic short fibers can activate macrophage continual efferocytosis, leading to the suppression of overactivated inflammation. The enhanced repair of rat femoral defect further demonstrates the osteogenic potential of the pro‐efferocytosis strategy. It is believed that the regulation of macrophage efferocytosis through microenvironment biomimetic materials can provide a new perspective for tissue repair.
