文摘To separate the phosphorus-containing phase from steel slag,the effects of B_(2)O_(3)and Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)on the enrichment of phosphorus-containing phases in Ca_(2)SiO_(4)–Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)(C_(2)S–C_(3)P)solid solution were comparatively analyzed through theoretical calculations and experimental investigations.The results indicate that the optimum reaction temperature between B_(2)O_(3)and C_(2)S–C_(3)P is 800℃.The phase compositions of C_(2)S–C_(3)P equilibrium system with 5 wt.%B_(2)O_(3)at 800℃ included Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),CaSiO_(3)and Ca11B_(2)Si_(4)O_(22),among which the content of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)was the highest.For C_(2)S–C_(3)P with 5 wt.%Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)equilibrium system,Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),CaSiO_(3),Ca11B_(2)Si_(4)O_(22)and Na_(2)Ca_(2)P_(2)O_(8)were independent at 390–690℃.Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)and Ca_(2)SiO_(4)precipitated in the solid solution when the addition of B_(2)O_(3)was more than 6 wt.%,and the content of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)raised with the increase in the addition of B_(2)O_(3).The main phases in the C_(2)S–C_(3)P solid solution with Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)were(Ca_(2)SiO_(4))0.05[Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)],Ca_(2)SiO_(4)and Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5)at 650℃.And when the addition of Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)exceeded 6 wt.%,the content of Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5)increased significantly.There was no precipitation of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)or boron-containing phase in the samples with Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7),but a small proportion of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)transformed into(Ca_(2)SiO_(4))0.05[Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)],and Ca^(2+)was partially replaced by Na^(+)to generate Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5).As a result,the temperature for Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)to enrich the phosphorus-containing phase in C_(2)S–C_(3)P solid solution was lower than that for B_(2)O_(3).However,the grade of the phosphorus-containing phase for Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)was lower than that for B_(2)O_(3).

文摘The significant effect of MgO in inhibiting the reduction swelling of iron ore pellets has been widely recognized.The swelling behaviors of pellets during the stepwise reduction by CO were assessed.The linear expansion of strip samples was measured using a linear dilatometer during the staged reduction process at a temperature of 900℃.The existence states of MgO in hematite,magnetite,and wüstite were investigated through thermodynamic calculations.The magnetite strip samples were subjected to oxidizing roasting at 1250℃ for 30 min to produce hematite strip samples.The strip samples with 0.49,1.49,2.49,and 3.49 wt.%MgO were analyzed for length change.It was observed that the sample with 2.49 wt.%MgO exhibited the least significant length change.The lengths of the samples with the initial length being 20 mm before reduction changed during the reduction stages of Fe_(2)O_(3)→Fe_(3)O_(4),Fe_(3)O_(4)→FeO,and FeO→Fe were 615,−25,and−378μm,respectively.The volume expansion of hematite to magnetite was primarily attributed to the crystal transformation.During the reduction stage from wüstite to metallic iron,a substantial contraction occurred,while the slag phase was able to retain its original basic shape.The enclosed areas,as indicated by the expansion change curves of the samples with 0.49,1.49,2.49,and 3.49 wt.%MgO,were measured at 3.76×10^(6),3.23×10^(6),3.05×10^(6),and 3.17×10^(6)μm s,respectively.

文摘The replacement of non-aqueous organic electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes(SSEs)in solid-state lithium metal batteries(SLMBs)is considered a promising strategy to address the constraints of lithium-ion batteries,especially in terms of energy density and reliability.Nevertheless,few SLMBs can deliver the required cycling performance and long-term stability for practical use,primarily due to suboptimal interface properties.Given the diverse solidification pathways leading to different interface characteristics,it is crucial to pinpoint the source of interface deterioration and develop appropriate remedies.This review focuses on Li|SSE interface issues between lithium metal anode and SSE,discussing recent advancements in the understanding of(electro)chemistry,the impact of defects,and interface evolutions that vary among different SSE species.The state-ofthe-art strategies concerning modified SEI,artificial interlayer,surface architecture,and composite structure are summarized and delved into the internal relationships between interface characteristics and performance enhancements.The current challenges and opportunities in characterizing and modifying the Li|SSE interface are suggested as potential directions for achieving practical SLMBs.

文摘The influence of thermal damage on macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of different rocks has received much attention in the field of rock engineering.When the rocks are subjected to thermal treatment,the change of macroscopic characteristics and evolution of micro-structure would be induced,ultimately resulting in different degrees of thermal damage in rocks.To better understand the thermal damage mechanism of different rocks and its effect on the rock performance,this study reviews a large number of test results of rock specimens experiencing heating and cooling treatment in the laboratory.Firstly,the variations of macroscopic behaviors,including physical parameters,mechanical parameters,thermal conductivity and permeability,are examined.The variations of mechanical parameters with thermal treatment variables(i.e.temperature or the number of thermal cycles)are divided into four types.Secondly,several measuring methods for microstructure,such as polarizing microscopy,fluorescent method,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray computerized tomography(CT),acoustic emission(AE)and ultrasonic technique,are introduced.Furthermore,the effect of thermal damage on the mechanical parameters of rocks in response to different thermal treatments,involving temperature magnitude,cooling method and thermal cycle,are discussed.Finally,the limitations and prospects for the research of rock thermal damage are proposed.

文摘The germination process of seeds is influenced by the interplay between two opposing factors,pectin methylesterase(PME)and pectin methylesterase inhibitor(PMEI),which collectively regulate patterns of pectin methylesterification.Despite the recognized importance of pectin methylesterification in seed germination,the specific mechanisms that govern this process remain unclear.In this study,we demonstrated that the overexpression of GhPMEI53is associated with a decrease in PME activity and an increase in pectin methylesterification.This leads to seed cell wall softening,which positively regulates cotton seed germination.AtPMEI19,the homologue in Arabidopsis thaliana,plays a similar role in seed germination to GhPMEI53,indicating a conserved function and mechanism of PMEI in seed germination regulation.Further studies revealed that GhPMEI53 and AtPMEI19 directly contribute to promoting radicle protrusion and seed germination by inducing cell wall softening and reducing mechanical strength.Additionally,the pathways of abscicic acid(ABA)and gibberellin(GA)in the transgenic materials showed significant changes,suggesting that GhPMEI53/AtPMEI19-mediated pectin methylesterification serves as a regulatory signal for the related phytohormones involved in seed germination.In summary,GhPMEI53 and its homologs alter the mechanical properties of cell walls,which influence the mechanical resistance of the endosperm or testa.Moreover,they impact cellular phytohormone pathways(e.g.,ABA and GA)to regulate seed germination.These findings enhance our understanding of pectin methylesterification in cellular morphological dynamics and signaling transduction,and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the PME/PMEI gene superfamily in plants.

文摘Objective Coagulation abnormalities are common and prognostically significant in intensive care units(ICUs)and are associated with increased mortality.This study aimed to explore the association between the levels of coagulation markers and the risk of mortality among ICU patients with coagulation abnormalities.Methods This retrospective study investigated patients with coagulation abnormalities in the ICU between January 2021 and December 2022.The initial point for detecting hemostatic biomarkers due to clinical assessment of coagulation abnormalities was designated day 0.Patients were followed up for 28 days,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify risk factors for mortality.Results Of the 451 patients analyzed,115 died,and 336 were alive at the end of the 28-day period.Multivariate analysis revealed that elevated thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor complex(tPAIC),prolonged prothrombin time,and thrombocytopenia were independent risk factors for mortality.For nonovert disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)patients,older age and thrombocytopenia were associated with increased risks of mortality,whereas elevated levels of plasminα2-plasmin inhibitor complex(PIC)were found to be independent predictors of survival.In patients with overt DIC,elevated levels of tPAIC were independently associated with increased risks of mortality.Nevertheless,thrombocytopenia was independently associated with increased risks of mortality in patients with pre-DIC.Conclusion Coagulation markers such as the TAT,tPAIC,PIC,and platelet count were significantly associated with mortality,underscoring the importance of maintaining a balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis.These findings highlight the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions based on specific coagulation markers to improve patient outcomes.

文摘Regular TiN is harmful to the toughness of steel,and its shape and size need to be controlled.Understanding the behavior of TiN precipitation on CeAlO_(3) surfaces is critical for controlling the morphology and formation process of CeAlO_(3)–TiN composite inclusions in the steel.Experimental results showed that TiN had a square morphology on the CeAlO3 surface,and electron backscatter diffraction phase identification results revealed the orientation relationship between CeAlO_(3) and TiN as follows:(001)_(CeAlO_(3))//(110)_(TiN),(100)_(CeAlO_(3))/(001)_(TiN),and[010]_(CeAlO_(3))/[110]_(TiN).The CeAlO3 crystal structure was studied using the first-principles calculation method,and the adsorption and growth process of TiN on the CeAlO_(3) surface were investigated from the atomic scale.The calculation results indicate that there is no metallic bonding present in the CeAlO_(3) system.Among the low-index crystal planes of CeAlO_(3),the(110)planes terminated with O and CeAlO have the highest and lowest surface energies,respectively,with values of 0.373 and 0.051 eV/Å^(2).On the high surface energy plane of CeAlO_(3),the TiN atomic permutation structure is consistent with the arrangement of Ti and N atoms in TiN(100)or(110).For the low surface energy plane of CeAlO_(3),the Ti and N atoms are arranged in a ring-like structure.

文摘In this paper,a feature interactive bi-temporal change detection network(FIBTNet)is designed to solve the problem of pseudo change in remote sensing image building change detection.The network improves the accuracy of change detection through bi-temporal feature interaction.FIBTNet designs a bi-temporal feature exchange architecture(EXA)and a bi-temporal difference extraction architecture(DFA).EXA improves the feature exchange ability of the model encoding process through multiple space,channel or hybrid feature exchange methods,while DFA uses the change residual(CR)module to improve the ability of the model decoding process to extract different features at multiple scales.Additionally,at the junction of encoder and decoder,channel exchange is combined with the CR module to achieve an adaptive channel exchange,which further improves the decision-making performance of model feature fusion.Experimental results on the LEVIR-CD and S2Looking datasets demonstrate that iCDNet achieves superior F1 scores,Intersection over Union(IoU),and Recall compared to mainstream building change detectionmodels,confirming its effectiveness and superiority in the field of remote sensing image change detection.
文摘SARS-CoV-2 has undergone five major transformations from its original strain,evolving through Alpha,Beta,Gamma,Delta,and now Omicron.The Omicron variant stands out for its high transmissibility,reduced severity,mild symptoms,and low mortality.Today,Omicron infections have become akin to common upper respiratory tract infections,underscoring the critical role of oral therapeutic drugs in clinical settings.These small-molecule oral antivirals are game-changers,effectively preventing mild and moderate cases from escalating to severe conditions and significantly reducing mortality among severe cases.They have emerged as the frontline defenders in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.Currently,eight oral antiviral drugs have been approved for use,including four 3CL protease inhibitors(nirmatrelvir/ritonavir,simnotrelvir/ritonavir,atilotrelvir/ritonavir,ensitrelvir,and leritrelvir),and three RNA polymerase inhibitors(molnupiravir,azvudine,and deuterium remdesivir).These medications are readily available and have ensured an uninterrupted clinical supply.With the establishment of a robust post-infection immune barrier and the widespread clinical use of oral antiviral drugs,the global threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly diminished.The relentless march of scientific progress and medical innovation has turned the tide,making COVID-19 a manageable part of our lives.
