We use a flapping plate hinged with a trailing-edge flap as a simplified model for flexible/morphing wings in hovering. The trailing-edge flapping motion is opti- mized by an adjoint-based approach. The optimized configuration suggests that the trailing-edge flap can substantially enhance the overall lift. Further analysis indicates that the lift enhancement by the trailing- edge flapping is from the change of circulation in two ways： the local circulation change by the rotational motion of the flap, and the modification of vortex shedding process by the relative location between the trailing-edge flao and leading-edge main plate.展开更多

X-ray diffraction（XRD）, photoluminescence spectra, fluorescence decay and temperature-dependent emission spectra were utilized to characterize the structure and luminescence properties. The results show that the excitation spectrum includes a series of linear peaks at350, 367, 382, 410, 424, 445, 470 and 495 nm, respectively. Under 410 nm excitation, the emission peaks were located at 574 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（5/2））, 608 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（7/2））,659 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（9/2）） and722 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（11/2））, respectively. The concentration quenching occurs when x equals 0.08 for Ba3 Y（4-x）O9：xSm^（3＋） phosphor and its mechanism is ascribed to the dipole-dipole interaction. The chromaticity coordinates of Ba3 Y（3.92）O9：0.08 Sm^（3＋） phosphor are in the orange-red region. The temperature-dependent study shows that this phosphor has excellent luminescence thermal-stability.And the luminescence intensity of Ba3 Y（3.92）O9：0.08 Sm^（3＋） phosphor at 473 K only declines by about25.75% of its initial intensity. The experimental data indicate that Ba3 Y4 O9：Sm^（3＋） phosphor may be promising as an orange-red emitting phosphor for white light emitting diodes.展开更多

The radial distribution of SiC particles in A356 liquid was studied under the conditions of 25° for horizontal tilt angle α of the blade, 200 r/min for rotating speed of stirrer and 10 mm/s for speed of moving up and down of stirrer. The results show that there exists a nonlinear relationship between circumferential tilt angle β of the blade and radial relative deviation d of SiCp content in A356 liquid. When β is smaller than 20°, the d of SiCp content in A356 liquid between the center and the periphery of crucible decreases with increasing β. Conversely, when β is bigger than 26°, d increases with increasing β. Only when β is about 20°, d can be equal to nought i.e. uniform radial distribution of SiC particles can be realized. It can be seen that the nonhomogeneous radial distribution of SiC particles in conventional straight-blade mechanical stirring can be eliminated in this tilt-blade mechanical stirring of A356-SiCp liquid.展开更多

文摘Leaf color is an important target trait in Chinese cabbage breeding programs.Leaf yellowing may reduce crop commercial and nutritional values.Some plants with the“stay-green”trait maintain leaf greenness during senescence and even after death.Stay-green Chinese cabbage may be a focal point of future breeding projects because it could improve crop quality and yield and prolong shelf life.A new stay-green mutant,non-yellowing mutant 1(nym1),was identified in Chinese cabbage derived from an ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS)-mutagenized population.The mutant had stay-green characteristics and a higher chlorophyll content than the wild-type during leaf senescence.The staygreen trait in the mutant Chinese cabbage was controlled by the recessive gene Brnym1.MutMap and KASP analyses showed that Brnym1(BraA03g050600.3C)encodes an mg-dechelatase(SGR protein),which might be the causal gene of the mutation in Chinese cabbage.A nonsynonymous single nucleotide base substitution(G to A)in the third exon of Brnym1 caused an amino acid substitution from L to F in the highly conserved domain of the magnesiumdechelatase.Ectopic overexpression showed that the BrNYM1 gene of wild-type Chinese cabbage complemented the SGR-defective stay-green mutant nye1-1 of Arabidopsis.The magnesium-dechelatase activity in the nym1 mutant was significantly downregulated compared to that in the wild type.Brnym1 was relatively upregulated in the mutant during late senescence,and BrNYM1 was localized to the chloroplasts.These results indicate that Brnym1(BraA03g050600.3C)is the causal gene of the stay-green mutation and could be of particular significance in the genetic improvement of Chinese cabbage.

文摘Anode SnO_(2)in lithium-ion batteries suffers from volume expansion and agglomeration.Here,the SnO_(2)nanoparticles are hybrided with ZrO_(2)particles by the support of carbon nanotube networks.The obtained SnO_(2)/C/ZrO_(2)composite shows improved electrochemical performances.Investigations reveal that the carbon nanotubes shorten the transmission path of electrons and Li^(+) ions.Ball milling with ZrO_(2)promotes the formation of nanosized SnO_(2)to weaken the internal strain change,being beneficial to buffering volume change during electrochemical cycling afterwards.High-resolution 6.7Li NMR investigations indicate that conversion and alloying reactions are stepwise involved for SnO_(2)/C/ZrO_(2)anode.The strategy of designing SnO_(2)/C/ZrO_(2)composite from the morphology-controlled metal-organic frameworks for energy storage widens the possibility to fabricate promising materials with enhanced performances.

文摘Rare-earth sulfides are of research interest for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)due to their abundant lithium intercalation sites and low redox voltage.However,their electrochemical performances are not satisfactory because of poor conductivity and volume change upon electrochemical cycling.Herein,nanoarchitectures ofγ-Ce_(2)S_(3)encapsulated in a hollow mesoporous carbon nanosphere(Ce_(2)S_(3)@HMCS)are fabricated using the self-template strategy combined with the in-sphere sulfuration method and tested as an LIB anode.The void space between the Ce_(2)S_(3)core and the outer layer of the carbon nanosphere has been properly designed and modulated to achieve excellent electrochemical performance in terms of electronic conductivity,reversibility,and rate capability.The reversible capacity of Ce_(2)S_(3)@HMCS is 2.6 times that of the pure Ce_(2)S_(3)anode,which can gradually increase and maintain a capacity of 282 mAh·g^(−1)at a current density of 1 A·g^(-1),and a high Coulombic efficiency(~100%)can be achieved even after 1000 cycles.This good performance is attributed to the unique yolk-shell nanostructure with a highly crystallized and stable Ce3S2 core and volume expansion buffer space upon lithiation/delithiation.Ex situ X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance results indicate that the lithiation of Ce_(2)S_(3)@HMCS is an intercalation process.This study represents an important advancement in precise structural design with in-sphere sulfuration and sheds light on a potential direction for highperformance lithium storage.
文摘It is important to understand the impact of wing-morphing on aerodynamic performance in the study of flapping-wing flight of birds and insects. We use a flapping plate hinged with a trailing-edge flap as a simplified model for flexible/morphing wings in hovering. The trailing-edge flapping motion is opti- mized by an adjoint-based approach. The optimized configuration suggests that the trailing-edge flap can substantially enhance the overall lift. Further analysis indicates that the lift enhancement by the trailing- edge flapping is from the change of circulation in two ways： the local circulation change by the rotational motion of the flap, and the modification of vortex shedding process by the relative location between the trailing-edge flao and leading-edge main plate.

文摘Non-toxic rare earth(RE) composite materials are promising and active in optoelectronic fields,such as pigment.In this work,Na ions doped γ-Ce_(2) S_(3) pigments were synthesized by solid-phase vulcanization and followed by in-situ synthesis to prepare an outer layer of CePO_(4) film.The characterizations of X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),solid state nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) indicate that Na-dopedγ-Ce_(2) S_(3) and CePO_(4) uniformly and tightly coated core-shell structure was successfully synthesized.The thermogravimetric analysis(TG) and reflection spectrum(RS) reveal that the CePO_(4) coating significantly improves the colorant and thermal stability performance of γ-Ce_(2) S_(3) .The excellent color quality of γ-Ce_(2) S_(3) @CePO_(4)(L*=45.16,a*=55.94.b*=44.53) is achieved and the red color(L*=43.82,a*=49.79,b*=38.04) is still retained even if the sample is heated in air at 400℃ for 30 min.

文摘A novel orange-red emitting Ba3 Y4 O9：Sm^（3＋） phosphors were prepared by a high temperature solidstate reaction in air. X-ray diffraction（XRD）, photoluminescence spectra, fluorescence decay and temperature-dependent emission spectra were utilized to characterize the structure and luminescence properties. The results show that the excitation spectrum includes a series of linear peaks at350, 367, 382, 410, 424, 445, 470 and 495 nm, respectively. Under 410 nm excitation, the emission peaks were located at 574 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（5/2））, 608 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（7/2））,659 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（9/2）） and722 nm（~4 G（5/2）-~6 H（11/2））, respectively. The concentration quenching occurs when x equals 0.08 for Ba3 Y（4-x）O9：xSm^（3＋） phosphor and its mechanism is ascribed to the dipole-dipole interaction. The chromaticity coordinates of Ba3 Y（3.92）O9：0.08 Sm^（3＋） phosphor are in the orange-red region. The temperature-dependent study shows that this phosphor has excellent luminescence thermal-stability.And the luminescence intensity of Ba3 Y（3.92）O9：0.08 Sm^（3＋） phosphor at 473 K only declines by about25.75% of its initial intensity. The experimental data indicate that Ba3 Y4 O9：Sm^（3＋） phosphor may be promising as an orange-red emitting phosphor for white light emitting diodes.

文摘The powder samples of Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(^(3+))white emitting phosphors were prepared via a solid state reaction technique.The Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):Dy^(3+)samples were researched by using the GSAS Rietveld refinement and X-ray diffraction(XRD) methods,and SEM images and elemental maps were recorded.Under 350 nm excitatio n,the emission spectra of Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(3+)samples have two obvious peaks and one weak peak at 484,572 and660 nm,corresponding to the characteristic electron transitions of(^(4)F_(9/2)→ ^(6)H_(15/2),blue),(^(4)F_(9/2)→ ^(6)H_(13/2),yellow) and(^(4)F_(9/2)→ 6 H11/2,red),respectively.The concentration quenching effect,decay lifetime and thermal quenching of the as-synthesized Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):Dy^(3+)samples were researched systematically.The Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):0.02 Dy^(3+)phosphor possesses a good thermal stability,of which the emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 79% of the initial value(273 K).In addition,through the study of the chro maticity coordinates of the Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):0.02 Dy^(3+)phosphor,it is found that it is located in the white region,and the Commission Internationalede L’Eclairage(CIE) chromaticity coordinates are(0.339,0.389),The above results show that Ca_(9)Sc(PO_(4))_(7):xDy^(3+)phosphors can be excellent candidate material for applications in NUV-excited white LEDs.

文摘It is of great importance to explore a creative route to improve the degradation e ciency of organic pollutants in wastewater.Herein,we construct a unique hybrid system by combining self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)with carbon dots-TiO_(2)sheets doped three-dimensional graphene oxide photocatalyst(3 DGA@CDs-TNs),which can significantly enhance the degradation e ciency of brilliant green(BG)and direct blue 5 B(DB)owing to the powerful interaction of TENG and 3 DGA@CDs-TNs photocatalyst.The power output of TENG can be applied for wastewater purification directly,which exhibits a selfpowered electrocatalytic technology.Furthermore,the results also verify that TENG can replace conventional electric catalyst to remove pollutants e ectively from wastewater without any consumption.Subsequently,the unstable fragments and the plausible removal pathways of the two pollutants are proposed.Our work sheds light on the development of e cient and sustainable TENG/photocatalyst system,opening up new opportunities and possibilities for comprehensive utilization of random energy.

文摘The tilt-blade mechanical stirring of A356-2.5vol.%SiCp liquid was conducted in a cylindrical crucible to solve the problem of nonhomogeneous radial distribution of SiC particles in conventional straight-blade mechanical stirring. The radial distribution of SiC particles in A356 liquid was studied under the conditions of 25° for horizontal tilt angle α of the blade, 200 r/min for rotating speed of stirrer and 10 mm/s for speed of moving up and down of stirrer. The results show that there exists a nonlinear relationship between circumferential tilt angle β of the blade and radial relative deviation d of SiCp content in A356 liquid. When β is smaller than 20°, the d of SiCp content in A356 liquid between the center and the periphery of crucible decreases with increasing β. Conversely, when β is bigger than 26°, d increases with increasing β. Only when β is about 20°, d can be equal to nought i.e. uniform radial distribution of SiC particles can be realized. It can be seen that the nonhomogeneous radial distribution of SiC particles in conventional straight-blade mechanical stirring can be eliminated in this tilt-blade mechanical stirring of A356-SiCp liquid.

文摘A series of Eu^(2+)/Dy^(3+) single doped and co-doped Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) phosphors were synthesized by the high-temperature solid-state method,and their phase,morphology,and luminescence properties were characterized.Under the excitation of 370 nm,the Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):Eu^(2+),Dy^(3+) phosphor can emit white light whose spectrum is composed of a broad emission band centered at 460 nm and the other three peaks at 483,577,and 672 nm,respectively.There is energy transfer from Eu^(2+)to Dy^(3+)ion in Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):Eu^(2+),Dy^(3+) phosphor due to the good overlap between the emission spectrum of Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):Eu^(2+) and the excitation spectrum of Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):Dy^(3+),which is further confirmed by the fluorescence lifetime decrease of Eu^(2+)ion with the increase of Dy^(3+) concentration.The process of energy transfer is via dipole–quadruple interaction which is confirmed by applying Dexter's theory.By increasing the Dy^(3+)concentration,the color coordinates of the Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):0.01Eu^(2+),xDy^(3+)phosphors can be adjusted from blue to white,and then to yellow.The optimized concentration of Dy^(3+)ions is 4.0 mol%,beyond which the concentration quenching will take place.The Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):Eu^(2+),Dy^(3+)phosphor shows fairly good resistance to thermal quenching behavior,of which the emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 90.3%of the initial value(298 K).These results suggest that the Na_(3)Sc_(2)(PO_(4))_(3):0.01Eu^(2+),xDy^(3+)phosphors have potential applications as the color-tunable or a single-phase white emitting phosphor in white LEDs.

文摘Cubic rock salt can lower down or break the rare earth transition barrier through interstitial or vacancy defects owing to its great deformation and rotationflexibility.Here,we demonstrate that oxygen vacancies in SrO are induced by proper oxidization and atmosphere adjustment,resulting in defects with various depths and crystalfield distortion.The thermally assisted tunneling from defects to 5 D_(4) state and electronic population decrease on 5 D_(3) state of Tb^(3+)þare observed by the deformation of adjacent oxygen octahedral structure.Finally,the asprepared SrO:0.01 Tb^(3+)þphosphors,commercial BaMgAl10O17:Eu^(2+)þblue phosphor,and CaAlSiN3:Eu^(2+)þred phosphor are mixed and coated onto 280 nm deep-ultraviolet LED chip to assemble white light-emitting LED device.The LEDs show CCT of 3850 K,4136 K,and 4741 K,with color rendering index of 90.3,90.8,and 92.1,respectively.These insights will advance the fundamental knowledge of crystal engineering in cubic rock salt,and enable new ways to manipulate energy transfer and electronic transition via defects.

文摘Severe pneumonia is one of the most serious infectious diseases.Delayed intervention may lead to pulmonary fibrosis,which greatly threatens people’s life and health.Blood stasis syndrome is an important underlying syndrome throughout the evolution of severe pneumonia-pulmonary fibrosis.Xuebijing injection(XBJ)was developed under the theoretical system of“Three syndromes and three methods”,demonstrating a good efficacy in treating severe pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis due to its effect of removing blood stasis and dispersing toxins.Previous studies have shown that XBJ can protect vascular endothelial function,improve coagulation function and regulate immunity by inhibiting inflammatory.Hence,the research hypothesis is put forward that XBJ treats blood stasis syndrome by removing blood stasis and dredging blood vessels,to inhibit the disease progress of severe pneumonia to pulmonary fibrosis.Further researches are need to confirm the function and explore the mechanism of XBJ.

文摘Muscle strength(MS)is related to our neural and muscle systems,essential for clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation evaluation.Although emerging wearable technology seems promising for MS assessment,problems still exist,including inaccuracy,spatiotemporal differences,and analyzing methods.In this study,we propose a wearable device consisting of myoelectric and strain sensors,synchronously acquiring surface electromyography and mechanical signals at the same spot during muscle activities,and then employ a deep learning model based on temporal convolutional network(TCN)+Transformer(Tcnformer),achieving accurate grading and prediction of MS.Moreover,by combining with deep clustering,named Tcnformer deep cluster(TDC),we further obtain a 25-level classification for MS assessment,refining the conventional 5 levels.Quantification and validation showcase a patient's postoperative recovery from level 3.2 to level 3.6 in the first few days after surgery.We anticipate that this system will importantly advance precise MS assessment,potentially improving relevant clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation outcomes.
