A recent observational study identified a long-lasting double cusp precipitation event associated with RD in solar wind on 10 April 2015. To understand the magnetosphere-ionosphere response to the solar wind RD, a global hybrid simulation of the magnetosphere was conducted, with solar wind conditions based on the observation event. The simulation results show significant variations in the magnetopause and cusp regions caused by the passing RD. After the RD propagates to the magnetopause, ion precipitation intensifies, and a double cusp structure at varying latitudes and longitudes forms near noon in the northern hemisphere, which is consistent with the satellite observations by Wing et al. (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023gl103194). Regarding dayside magnetopause reconnection, the simulation reveals that the high-latitude reconnection process persists during the RD passing, regardless of whether the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with a high <i>B</i><sub><i>y</i></sub>/<i>B</i><sub><i>z</i></sub> ratio has a positive or negative <i>B</i><sub><i>z</i></sub> component, and low-latitude reconnection occurs after the RD reaches the magnetopause at noon when the IMF turns southward. By examining the ion sources along the magnetic field lines, a connection is found between the single- or double-cusp ion precipitation and the solar wind ions entering from both high-latitude and low-latitude reconnection sites.

Our results show that sediment supply variability has a stronger impact than magnitude: increased variability leads to much thicker channel-belt deposits and elevated yet alternating high and low down-valley slopes.

The estimation of flow resistance, that is, the Manning's roughness coefficient , is crucial for ensuring model accuracy, and has been previously determined using empirical formulas or tables. To better account for temporal and spatial variability in channel roughness, inverse modeling of using observed flow data is more reliable and adaptable; however, it is challenging when using traditional SWE solvers. Based on the concept of universal differential equation, which combines physics‐based differential equations with neural networks (NNs), we developed a universal SWEs (USWEs) solver, <jats:italic>Hydrograd</jats:italic>, for hybrid hydrodynamics modeling. It can do accurate forward simulations, support automatic differentiation (AD) for gradient‐based sensitivity analysis and parameter inversion, and perform scientific machine learning for physics discovery. In this work, we first validated the accuracy of its forward modeling, then applied a real‐world case to demonstrate the ability of USWEs to capture model sensitivity (gradients) and perform inverse modeling of Manning's . Furthermore, we used a NN to learn a universal relationship between , hydraulic parameters, and flow in a real river channel. Unlike inverse modeling using surrogate models, <jats:italic>Hydrograd</jats:italic> uses a two‐dimensional SWEs solver as its physics backbone, which eliminates the need for data‐intensive pretraining and resolves the generalization problem when applied to out‐of‐sample scenarios. This differentiable modeling approach, with seamless integration with NNs, provides a new pathway for solving complex inverse problems and discovering new physics in hydrodynamics.","PeriodicalId":23799,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources Research","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The weapons of these States stood at the pinnacle during this period, renowned for bronze swords like the Sword of Gou Jian. The rhombic-patterned swords and bimetallic swords are distinguished examples of bronze swords from the Wu-Yue region. Due to their rarity, obtaining suitable samples is extremely challenging. Fortunately, a rhombic-patterned bronze sword excavated from the Dahan Cemetery in Guanqiao Town, Tengzhou City, Shandong Province, provided viable samples amenable to systematic analytical characterization. Analytical investigations, including metallographic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), were conducted to examine the microstructural features and elemental composition of the material. The findings reveal that the rhombic pattern on the sword's surface consists of fine δ-phases. Moreover, a layer of corroded δ-phase is present on the surface of the blade edge. Due to honing and polishing during use, the thickness of the δ-phase on the sword's edge was only 1–2 μm. The δ-phase in the bronze alloy is a hard and brittle phase that can significantly increase the alloy's hardness. However, when the δ-phase content becomes too high, the plasticity and strength of the bronze alloy are markedly reduced. To address this challenge, the master swordsmiths of Wu and Yue states demonstrated remarkable innovation and technical expertise. They employed a unique technique to form a dense δ-phase-enhanced layer on the blade surface. This ingenious approach enhanced the hardness of the sword blade while preventing the loss of plasticity and strength caused by excessive δ-phase. Furthermore, this specialized treatment achieved an aesthetic breakthrough, with the practical function seamlessly blending with the artistic beauty of the sword body.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8214,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences","volume":"17 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
