The problem of tracer advection in random self-similar (fractal) media with strong anisotropy is solved. Transport regimes and concentration tails are described depending on the rate of velocity correlation function decay and on the degree of anisotropy. The influence of the finite correlation length of the fractal medium on transport regimes is analyzed. The derivation is conducted by means of scaling analysis.

Study on the effect of acid fracturing fluid on pore structure of middle to high rank coal.

Acid fracturing fluids can effectively improve the microporous structure of coal, thereby enhancing the permeability of coal seam and the efficiency of gas drainage. To explore the effects of acid fracturing fluids on the pore structure modification of coal samples from different coal ranks, hydrochloric acid-based acid fracturing fluids were prepared and used to soak four types of medium to high-rank coal in an experiment. High-pressure mercury intrusion and liquid nitrogen adsorption techniques results demonstrated that the acid fracturing fluid can effectively alter the pore structure of coal.

Due to the fluidity of the loose medium inside the waste dump slope, the traditional monitoring system cannot fully reflect the misalignment and slip between particles inside the medium, and it is also difficult to capture the precursor information of the slip of the loose accumulation body. To reveal the dynamic evolution process of the slope instability of the waste dump slope, the coupling test system of the slope instability of the waste dump slope was used to carry out the study of the acoustic emission characteristics of the slope instability dynamic response of the dump slope under the action of vibration, and to quantitatively analyse the staged characteristics of the acoustic emission parameter evolution of the dump slope under the action of different vibration frequencies and its instability initiation node. The results show that with the increase of vibration frequency, the damage mode of the slope model gradually changes from sliding of small particles to large-scale landslides, and presents the stage process of "vibration compaction → vibration equilibrium → dynamic instability"; Under the action of low-frequency and high-amplitude, the slope model mainly shows that the tiny particles and the basement gravel slip, which is difficult to capture with the naked eye, while under the action of high-frequency and low-amplitude, the slope surface is damaged in a large area, and the overall model is unstable; The dynamic instability of the waste dump slope is accompanied by obvious acoustic emission activities, and the changes of the characteristic parameters of acoustic emission reveal, to a certain extent, the evolution of the internal state of the slope in the process of dynamic instability of the waste dump slope and its stage characteristics; The amplitude and energy efficiency of acoustic emission in the time domain show obvious fractal characteristics in the dynamic instability of the waste dump slope.

The contaminated transformer oil is one of the major causes of failure in the power system. Detection and continuous monitoring of moisture content in transformer oil is required for the smooth operation of a system. In this paper, a Fractal-based Sinusoidal-shaped Capacitive Sensor (FSCS) is proposed to increase the contact area between capacitor plates and dielectric medium by 17.

Typically, root system architecture (RSA) is not visible, and realistically, high-throughput methods for RSA trait phenotyping should capture key features of developing root systems in solid substrates in 3D. In a published 2-D study using thin rhizoboxes, vermiculite as a growing medium, and photography for imaging, triplicates of 137 soybean cultivars were phenotyped for their RSA. In the transition to 3-D work using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning and mineral soil, two research questions are addressed: (1) how different is the soybean RSA characterization between the two phenotyping systems; and (2) is a direct comparison of the results reliable? Prior to a full-scale study in 3D, we grew, in pots filled with sand, triplicates of the Casino and OAC Woodstock cultivars that had shown the most contrasting RSAs in the 2-D study, and CT scanned them at the V1 vegetative stage of development of the shoots.

Exploring the mechanisms of the impacts of urbanization on soil aggregate stability and soil organic carbon （SOC） content will contribute to improving soil quality in urban greenspaces. Using the built-up area of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province as a case study, the urbanization intensity was differentiated by impervious rate, and the vegetation characteristics and soil properties of 184 greenspace plots were investigated and determined. Variations in the stability parameters （geometric mean diameter, mean weight diameter, fractal dimension, and unstable aggregate index） and SOC contents across soil aggregate-size fractions （>2, 1-2, 0.
