Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.展开更多

A pivotal task is the generation and control of diverse quantum entangled states in a more compactand flexible manner. Here, we introduce an approach to achieve diverse path entanglement by exploiting the interactionbetween noncommutative metasurfaces and entangled photons. Different from other path entanglements, ourquantum path entanglement is evolution path entanglement of photons on Poincaré sphere. Due to quantum entanglementbetween idler photons and structured signal photons, evolution path of idler photons on the fundamental Poincarésphere can be nonlocally mirrored by structured signal photons on any higher-order Poincaré sphere, resulting in quantumpath entanglement. Benefiting from noncommutative metasurfaces, diverse quantum path entanglement can beswitched across different higher-order Poincaré spheres using distinct combination sequences of metasurfaces. Ourmethod allows for the tuning of diverse quantum path entanglement across a broad spectrum of quantum states, offeringa significant advancement in the manipulation of quantum entanglement.展开更多

文摘Objectives:The aim of this study was to verify the causal relationship between trait aggressiveness(TA)and moral disengagement(MD),know more about the growth trajectory of MD,and explore the effects of gender and TA on the growth trajectory.Methods:We used the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Moral Disengagement Scale to survey 433 Chinese junior high school students longitudinally three times.Results:The results of the random intercept cross-lagged panel model(RI-CLPM)analysis indicated that TA positively predicted MD,while MD did not predict TA at the within-person level.Thus,TA could be considered an antecedent variable of MD.Furthermore,the unconditional latent growth linear model analysis revealed that MD among junior high school students exhibited an upward trend,characterized by an increasing rate of growth over time.In the conditional latent growth linear model analysis,we found that gender influenced only the initial level of MD but had no effect on its growth rate.Conversely,TA demonstrated both delayed and immediate positive effects on the growth of MD.Conclusions:Our findings suggested a one-way cross-lag effect between TA and MD.Additionally,the growth trajectory of MD among junior high school students was found to be ascending.This growth trajectory was influenced by gender and TA,offering valuable insights for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in junior high school students.

文摘Surface recrystallization(RX) is a typical grain defect observed in directionally solidified(DS) Ni-based superalloys. Most studies have focused on the RX behavior and its impact on the mechanical properties of single-crystal(SC) superalloys, with limited research on its influence on the high-temperature mechanical properties of DS superalloys. This study systematically investigated the effect of RX on the high-temperature tensile properties of a DS DZ409 superalloy. The results show that at 650℃, the yield strength decreases almost linearly with an increase in RX fraction. A significant reduction in elongation is observed as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. However, beyond this point, further increase in RX fraction leads to minimal changes in elongation. At 950℃, both yield strength and elongation decrease as the RX fraction increases from 0% to 4.9%. At 650℃, fractures in the RX DS superalloys exhibit a mixed mode of transgranular and intergranular cleavage fracture, while at 950℃, it features a combination of ductile and intergranular dimple fractures. The failure mechanism of the RX DS superalloy is associated with the introduction of transverse grain boundaries(GBs) during RX. In the early stages of tensile testing at intermediate and high temperatures, cracks can easily initiate at these GBs. Subsequently, the cracks propagate along the GBs into the DS matrix, ultimately leading to failure of the DS superalloy.

文摘The development of highly active functionalized ionic liquids(ILs)as both extractants and catalysts for use in achieving deep desulfurization continues to pose challenges.In this study,a highly efficient oxidative desulfurization system was constructed,composed of dual-acidic ionic liquids(DILs)and H_(2)O_(2)-AcOH.The investigation results of four DILs prepared from different metal chlorides([HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-MnCl_(n),MnCl_(n)=AlCl_(3),ZnCl_(2),CuCl_(2),FeCl_(3))in oxidative desulfurization showed that[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3)had an outstanding catalytic effect and significantly promoted the oxidation of sulfides.With a 0.2 g[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3),the removal rate of dibenzothiophene(DBT)reached 100%in 10 mL model oil under mild conditions at 55℃for 20 min.The key is its ability to induce the dismutation of su-peroxide anions(·O_(2)^(-)),which facilitates the generation of singlet oxygen(1 O_(2)).The efficient oxidation of DBT is accomplished through a predominantly^(1)O_(2)-mediated_(n)on-radical mechanism.[HSO_(3)C_(3)NEt_(3)]Cl-AlCl_(3)serves as a favorable medium for contact to be made between^(1)O_(2)and sulfides,which indicates an efficient catalytic-adsorption synergy.

文摘Quantum entanglement, a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, lies at the heart of many current and futurequantum technologies. A pivotal task is the generation and control of diverse quantum entangled states in a more compactand flexible manner. Here, we introduce an approach to achieve diverse path entanglement by exploiting the interactionbetween noncommutative metasurfaces and entangled photons. Different from other path entanglements, ourquantum path entanglement is evolution path entanglement of photons on Poincaré sphere. Due to quantum entanglementbetween idler photons and structured signal photons, evolution path of idler photons on the fundamental Poincarésphere can be nonlocally mirrored by structured signal photons on any higher-order Poincaré sphere, resulting in quantumpath entanglement. Benefiting from noncommutative metasurfaces, diverse quantum path entanglement can beswitched across different higher-order Poincaré spheres using distinct combination sequences of metasurfaces. Ourmethod allows for the tuning of diverse quantum path entanglement across a broad spectrum of quantum states, offeringa significant advancement in the manipulation of quantum entanglement.

文摘Accurate medical image segmentation plays a crucial role in improving the precision of computer-aided diagnosis.However,complex boundary shapes,low contrast and blurred anatomical structures make fine-grained segmentation a challenging task.Variational Bayesian inference quantifies uncertainty through probability distributions and can construct robust probabilistic models for the boundaries of ambiguous organs and tissues.In this paper,we apply variational Bayesian inference to medical image segmentation and propose variational attention to model the uncertainty of low-contrast and blurry tissue and organ boundaries.This enhances the model's ability to perceive segmentation boundaries,improving robustness and segmentation accuracy.Variational attention first estimates the parameters of the probability distribution of latent representations based on input features.Then,it samples latent representations from the learnt distribution to generate attention weights that optimise the interaction between global features and ambiguous boundaries.We integrate variational attention into the U-Net model by replacing its skip connections,constructing a multi-scale variational attention segmentation model(V-UNet).Experiments on the ISBI 2012 and MoNuSeg 2018 datasets show that our method achieves Dice scores of 95.89%and 82.18%,respectively.Moreover,we integrate V-UNet into the Mask R-CNN framework by replacing the FPN feature extraction head and propose a two-stage segmentation method.Compared to the original Mask R-CNN,our method improves the Dice score by 0.81%,mAP by 8.06%and F1 score by 0.51%.

文摘Intervertebral disc degeneration is a degenerative disease where inflammation and immune responses play significant roles.Macrophages,as key immune cells,critically regulate inflammation through polarization into different phenotypes.In recent years,the role of macrophages in inflammation-related degenerative diseases,such as intervertebral disc degeneration,has been increasingly recognized.Macrophages construct the inflammatory microenvironment of the intervertebral disc and are involved in regulating intervertebral disc cell activities,extracellular matrix metabolism,intervertebral disc vascularization,and innervation,profoundly influencing the progression of disc degeneration.To gain a deeper understanding of the inflammatory microenvironment of intervertebral disc degeneration,this review will summarize the role of macrophages in the pathological process of intervertebral disc degeneration,analyze the regulatory mechanisms involving macrophages,and review therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage modulation for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.These insights will be valuable for the treatment and research directions of intervertebral disc degeneration.
