By analyzing the internal distributions of electric field, current density, and temperature of the device, a detailed investigation on the damage process and mechanism induced by high-power microwaves （HPM） is performed. The results indicate that the temperature elevation occurs in the negative half-period and the temperature drop process is in the positive half-period under the HPM injection from the output port. The damage point is located near the edge of the base-emitter junction of T2, while with the input injection it exists between the base and the emitter of T2. Comparing these two kinds of injection, the input injection is more likely to damage the device than the output injection. The dependences of the damage energy threshold and the damage power threshold causing the device failure on the pulse-width are obtained, and the formulas obtained have the same form as the experimental equations, which demonstrates that more power is required to destroy the device if the pulse-width is shorter. Furthermore, the simulation result in this paper has a good coincidence with the experimental result.展开更多

It has been recently recognized that the hydride materials containing negatively charged hydrogen(H~-) show promises for Nfixation and hydrogenation to ammonia. Herein, we report that rare earth metal hydrides such as lanthanum hydride can also fix Neither by heating to 200 °C or ball milling under ambient Npressure and temperature. The Nfixation by lanthanum hydride may proceed via an intermediate lanthanum hydride-nitride(La-H-N) structure to form the final lanthanum nitride product. The hydride ion functions as an electron donor, which provides electrons for Nactivation possibly mediated by the lanthanum atoms. It is observed that N–H bond is not formed during the Nfixation process, which is distinctly different from the alkali or alkaline earth metal hydrides. The hydrolysis of La-H-N to ammonia is feasible using water as the hydrogen source. These results provide new insights into the nitrogen fixation by hydride materials and more efforts are needed for the development of rare earth metal-based catalysts and/or nitrogen carriers for ammonia synthesis processes.展开更多

The reason is the blood-brain barrier(BBB). BBB is a physical barrier that stabilizes the physiological environment of brain tissue and protects the central nervous system from the invasion of harmful substances. Drug delivery based on nanotechnology and nanocarriers has attracted much attention due to its biological safety, continuous drug release time,increasing solubility, biological drug activity, and enhanced BBB permeability. By modifying different substances on the surface of nanocarriers, the BBB is bypassed by receptor-mediated and cell endocytosis and exocytosis. In addition, the purpose of bypassing BBB-targeted drug delivery can also be achieved by intranasal administration and local administration. This paper reviews different target transport mechanisms, mainly in invasive and non-invasive strategies, the nanocarriers that have made progress and the nanocarrier strategy of bypassing BBB are listed.展开更多

C...The microscopic occurrence characteristics primarily constrain the enrichment and mobility of shale oil.This study collected the lacustrine shales from the Palaeogene Funing Formation in the Gaoyou Sag, Subei Basin. Conventional and multistage Rock-Eval, scanning electron microscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) T1-T2were performed to analyze the contents and occurrence characteristics of shale oil. Low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption(LTNA/D) experiments were conducted on the shales before and after extraction. The relationships between shale oil occurrence with organic matter and pore structures were then discussed. Predominantly, the shale oil in the Funing Formation is found within fractures, with secondary occurrences in interparticle pores linked to brittle minerals and sizeable intraparticle pores associated with clay minerals. The selected shales can be categorized into two types based on the nitrogen isotherms. Type A shales are characterized by high contents of felsic and calcareous minerals but low clay minerals, with larger TOC and shale oil values. Conversely, Type B shales are marked by abundant clay minerals but diminished TOC and shale oil contents. The lower BET specific surface area(SSA), larger average pore diameter, and simpler pore surfaces and pore structures lead to the Type A shales being more conducive to shale oil enrichment and mobility. Shale oil content is predominantly governed by the abundance of organic matter, while an overabundance of organic matter typically equates to a reduced ratio of free oil and diminished fluidity. The BET SSA, volumes of pores less than 25 and 100 nm at extracted state all correlate negatively with total and adsorbed oil contents but display no correlation with free oil, while they have positive relationships with capillary-bound water.Consequently, pore water is mainly saturated in micropores(<25 nm) and minipores(25-100 nm), as well as adsorbed oil, while free oil, i.e., bound and movable oil, primarily exists in mesopores(100-1000 nm) and macropores(>1000 nm). These findings may enhance the understanding of the microscopic occurrence characteristics of shale oil and will contribute to guide resource estimation and shale oil sweet spot exploitation in the Gaoyou Sag, Subei Basin.展开更多

文摘Natural gas hydrate(NGH)has a bright future as a clean energy source with huge reserves.Coring is one of the most direct methods for NGH exploration and research.Preserving the in-situ properties of the core as much as possible during the coring process is crucial for the assessment of NGH resources.However,most existing NGH coring techniques cannot preserve the in-situ temperature of NGH,leading to distortion of the physical properties of the obtained core,which makes it difficult to effectively guide NGH exploration and development.To overcome this limitation,this study introduces an innovative active temperature-preserved coring method for NGH utilizing phase change materials(PCM).An active temperature-preserved corer(ATPC)is designed and developed,and an indoor experimental system is established to investigate the heat transfer during the coring process.Based on the experimental results under different environment temperatures,a heat transfer model for the entire ATPC coring process has been established.The indoor experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the heat transfer model,confirming its validity.This model has reconstructed the temperature changes of the NGH core during the coring process,demonstrating that compared to the traditional coring method with only passive temperature-preserved measures,ATPC can effectively reduce the core temperature by more than 5.25℃.With ATPC,at environment temperatures of 15,20,25,and 30℃,the duration of low-temperature state for the NGH core is 53.85,32.87,20.32,and 11.83 min,respectively.These findings provide new perspectives on temperature-preserving core sampling in NGH and provide technical support for exploration and development in NGH.

文摘Tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC)is a prevalent malignancy that afflicts the head and neck area and presents a high incidence of metastasis and invasion.Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for enhancing the quality of life and the survival rates of TSCC patients.The current treatment modalities for TSCC frequently suffer from a lack of specificity and efficacy.Nanoparticles with diagnostic and photothermal therapeutic properties may offer a new approach for the targeted therapy of TSCC.However,inadequate accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site diminishes the efficacy of photothermal therapy(PTT).This study modified gold nanodots(AuNDs)with the TSCC-targeting peptide HN-1 to improve the selectivity and therapeutic effects of PTT.The Au-HN-1 nanosystem effectively targeted the TSCC cells and was rapidly delivered to the tumor tissues compared to the AuN Ds.The enhanced accumulation of photosensitizing agents at tumor sites achieved significant PTT effects in a mouse model of TSCC.Moreover,owing to its stable long-term fluorescence and high X-ray attenuation coefficient,the Au-HN-1 nanosystem can be used for fluorescence and computed tomography imaging of TSCC,rendering it useful for early tumor detection and accurate delineation of surgical margins.In conclusion,Au-HN-1 represents a promising nanomedicine for imaging-based diagnosis and targeted PTT of TSCC.

文摘Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the brain. The postoperative recurrence rate was high,and the 2-year survival rate only increased by 20%–25%. The reason is the blood-brain barrier(BBB). BBB is a physical barrier that stabilizes the physiological environment of brain tissue and protects the central nervous system from the invasion of harmful substances. Drug delivery based on nanotechnology and nanocarriers has attracted much attention due to its biological safety, continuous drug release time,increasing solubility, biological drug activity, and enhanced BBB permeability. By modifying different substances on the surface of nanocarriers, the BBB is bypassed by receptor-mediated and cell endocytosis and exocytosis. In addition, the purpose of bypassing BBB-targeted drug delivery can also be achieved by intranasal administration and local administration. This paper reviews different target transport mechanisms, mainly in invasive and non-invasive strategies, the nanocarriers that have made progress and the nanocarrier strategy of bypassing BBB are listed.

文摘Marine gas hydrates are highly sensitive to temperature and pressure fluctuations,and deviations from in-situ conditions may cause irreversible changes in phase state,microstructure,and mechanical properties.However,conventional samplers often fail to maintain sealing and thermal stability,resulting in low sampling success rates.To address these challenges,an in-situ temperature-and pressure-preserved sampler for marine applications has been developed.The experimental results indicate that the selfdeveloped magnetically controlled pressure-preserved controller reliably achieves autonomous triggering and self-sealing,provides an initial sealing force of 83 N,and is capable of maintaining pressures up to 40 MPa.Additionally,a custom-designed intelligent temperature control chip and high-precision sensors were integrated into the sampler.Through the design of an optimized heat transfer structure,a temperature-preserved system was developed,achieving no more than a 0.3℃ rise in temperature within 2 h.The performance evaluation and sampling operations of the sampler were conducted at the Haima Cold Seep in the South China Sea,resulting in the successful recovery of hydrate maintained under in-situ pressure of 13.8 MPa and a temperature of 6.5℃.This advancement enables the acquisition of high-fidelity hydrate samples,providing critical support for the safe exploitation and scientific analysis of marine gas hydrate resources.

文摘As-rolled titanium/steel composite plate has poor plastic deformation ability,and it is difficult to achieve synergistic deformation,especially for dissimilar metals with very different plastic deformation abilities.The 304/TC4 composite plate with corrugated interface was manufactured using the asymmetric rolling with local strong stress method.The changing rules of bonding strength and synergistic deformation ability of corrugated interface under different annealing process parameters were studied.The results show that in the range of 550–850℃,especially after the temperature exceeds 650℃,with increasing the annealing temperature and time,the difference of microstructure between peak and trough positions increases,and the bonding strength of the composite plate decreases gradually.Especially,the interfacial bonding strength of the plate sharply decreases at 750℃ due to the rapid growth of intermetallic compounds at the interface and the diffusion holes caused by the difference of element diffusion.The 304/TC4 composite plate has the best synergistic deformation ability when annealing at 650℃/2 h,with the elongation reaching 35%and the tensile strength decreasing to 852 MPa.High interfacial bonding strength and moderate matrix recovery are important prerequisites for synergistic deformation of composite plates.

文摘The microscopic occurrence characteristics primarily constrain the enrichment and mobility of shale oil.This study collected the lacustrine shales from the Palaeogene Funing Formation in the Gaoyou Sag, Subei Basin. Conventional and multistage Rock-Eval, scanning electron microscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) T1-T2were performed to analyze the contents and occurrence characteristics of shale oil. Low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption(LTNA/D) experiments were conducted on the shales before and after extraction. The relationships between shale oil occurrence with organic matter and pore structures were then discussed. Predominantly, the shale oil in the Funing Formation is found within fractures, with secondary occurrences in interparticle pores linked to brittle minerals and sizeable intraparticle pores associated with clay minerals. The selected shales can be categorized into two types based on the nitrogen isotherms. Type A shales are characterized by high contents of felsic and calcareous minerals but low clay minerals, with larger TOC and shale oil values. Conversely, Type B shales are marked by abundant clay minerals but diminished TOC and shale oil contents. The lower BET specific surface area(SSA), larger average pore diameter, and simpler pore surfaces and pore structures lead to the Type A shales being more conducive to shale oil enrichment and mobility. Shale oil content is predominantly governed by the abundance of organic matter, while an overabundance of organic matter typically equates to a reduced ratio of free oil and diminished fluidity. The BET SSA, volumes of pores less than 25 and 100 nm at extracted state all correlate negatively with total and adsorbed oil contents but display no correlation with free oil, while they have positive relationships with capillary-bound water.Consequently, pore water is mainly saturated in micropores(<25 nm) and minipores(25-100 nm), as well as adsorbed oil, while free oil, i.e., bound and movable oil, primarily exists in mesopores(100-1000 nm) and macropores(>1000 nm). These findings may enhance the understanding of the microscopic occurrence characteristics of shale oil and will contribute to guide resource estimation and shale oil sweet spot exploitation in the Gaoyou Sag, Subei Basin.

文摘Background:Despite advances in surgical treatment,high recurrence after surgery remains a challenge for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).This study aimed to investigate the association between compliance to regular follow-up and long-term oncological outcomes among patients undergoing curative resection for HCC.Methods:This multicenter study included patients who underwent curative resection for early-stage HCC between January 2012 and December 2021 at 12 liver surgery centers.Patients were stratified into a regular follow-up group(follow-up every 2–3 months for the first 2 years and every 3–6 months thereafter)and an irregular/no follow-up group.Overall survival(OS),time to recurrence(TTR),and post-recurrence survival(PRS)were compared between the two groups.Results:Among 1544 patients,786(50.9%)underwent regular follow-up during postoperative follow-up.The regular follow-up group had better OS(median:113.4 vs.94.5 months,P=0.010)and PRS(median:37.9 vs.16.3 months,P<0.001)than the irregular/no follow-up group,although TTR was comparable(median:61.4 vs.66.2 months,P=0.161).Furthermore,patients in the regular follow-up group had a lower incidence of tumor beyond the Milan criteria at recurrence(41.6%vs.50.4%,P=0.013)and were more likely to receive curative treatments for recurrence(56.1%vs.49.3%,P=0.061).On multivariate analysis,compliance to regular follow-up was an independent factor associated with better OS[hazard ratio(HR)=0.777,95%confidence interval(CI):0.663–0.910,P=0.002]and PRS(HR=0.523,95%CI:0.428–0.638,P<0.001).Conclusions:Compliance to regular follow-up improved OS and PRS after curative resection for HCC,highlighting the importance of postoperative regular follow-up for early detection of recurrence and timely intervention.
