Herein, we present a 2.5-dimensionaldynamic structural color based on nanogratings of heterogeneous materials, which were obtained by interweaving a pH-responsive hydrogelwith an IP-L photoresist. Transverse gratings printed with pH-responsive hydrogels elongated the period of longitudinal grating in the swollenstate, resulting in pH-tuned structural colors at a 45° incidence. Moreover, the patterned encoding and array printing of dynamic structuralcolors were achieved using grayscale stripe images to accurately encode the periods and heights of the nanogrid structures. Overall, dynamicstructural color networks exhibit promising potential for applications in information encryption and in situ sensing for microfluidic chips.展开更多

All this produces profound negative psychosocial implications for affected people, their families, and their communities;the financial costs can be challenging for their families and health institutions. Treatments aimed at restoring the spinal cord after spinal cord injury, which have been tested in animal models or clinical trials, generally seek to counteract one or more of the secondary mechanisms of injury to limit the extent of the initial damage. Most published works on structural/functional restoration in acute and chronic spinal cord injury stages use a single type of treatment: a drug or trophic factor, transplant of a cell type, and implantation of a biomaterial. Despite the significant benefits reported in animal models, when translating these successful therapeutic strategies to humans, the result in clinical trials has been considered of little relevance because the improvement, when present, is usually insufficient. Until now, most studies designed to promote neuroprotection or regeneration at different stages after spinal cord injury have used single treatments. Considering the occurrence of various secondary mechanisms of injury in the acute and sub-acute phases of spinal cord injury, it is reasonable to speculate that more than one therapeutic agent could be required to promote structural and functional restoration of the damaged spinal cord. Treatments that combine several therapeutic agents, targeting different mechanisms of injury, which, when used as a single therapy, have shown some benefits, allow us to assume that they will have synergistic beneficial effects. Thus, this narrative review article aims to summarize current trends in the use of strategies that combine therapeutic agents administered simultaneously or sequentially, seeking structural and functional restoration of the injured spinal cord.展开更多

文摘Cells,tissues,and organs are constantly subjected to the action of mechanical forces from the extracellular environment-and the nervous system is no exception.Cell-intrinsic properties such as membrane lipid composition,abundance of mechanosensors,and cytoskeletal dynamics make cells more or less likely to sense these forces.Intrinsic and extrinsic cues are integrated by cells and this combined information determines the rate and dynamics of membrane protrusion growth or retraction(Yamada and Sixt,2019).Cell protrusions are extensions of the plasma membrane that play crucial roles in diverse contexts such as cell migration and neuronal synapse formation.In the nervous system,neurons are highly dynamic cells that can change the size and number of their pre-and postsynaptic elements(called synaptic boutons and dendritic spines,respectively),in response to changes in the levels of synaptic activity through a process called plasticity.Synaptic plasticity is a hallmark of the nervous system and is present throughout our lives,being required for functions like memory formation or the learning of new motor skills(Minegishi et al.,2023;Pillai and Franze,2024).

文摘Cholesteric liquid crystals(CLCs)exhibit unique helical superstructures that selectively reflect circularly polarized light,enabling them to dynamically respond to environmental changes with tunable structural colors.This dynamic color-changing capability is crucial for applications that require adaptable optical properties,positioning CLCs as key materials in advanced photonic technologies.This review focuses on the mechanisms of dynamic color tuning in CLCs across various forms,including small molecules,cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers(CLCEs),and cholesteric liquid crystal networks(CLCNs),and emphasizes the distinct responsive coloration each structure provides.Key developments in photochromic mechanisms based on azobenzene,dithienylethene,and molecular motor switches,are discussed for their roles in enhancing the stability and tuning range of CLCs.We examine the color-changing behaviors of CLCEs under mechanical stimuli and CLCNs under swelling,highlighting the advantages of each form.Following this,applications of dynamic color-tuning CLCs in information encryption,adaptive camouflage,and smart sensing technologies are explored.The review concludes with an outlook on current challenges and future directions in CLC research,particularly in biomimetic systems and dynamic photonic devices,aiming to broaden their functional applications and impact.

文摘Dynamic structuralcolors can change in response todifferent environmental stimuli.This ability remains effectiveeven when the size of the speciesresponsible for the structural coloris reduced to a few micrometers,providing a promising sensingmechanism for solving microenvironmentalsensing problems inmicro-robotics and microfluidics.However, the lack of dynamicstructural colors that can encoderapidly, easily integrate, and accuratelyreflect changes in physical quantities hinders their use in microscale sensing applications. Herein, we present a 2.5-dimensionaldynamic structural color based on nanogratings of heterogeneous materials, which were obtained by interweaving a pH-responsive hydrogelwith an IP-L photoresist. Transverse gratings printed with pH-responsive hydrogels elongated the period of longitudinal grating in the swollenstate, resulting in pH-tuned structural colors at a 45° incidence. Moreover, the patterned encoding and array printing of dynamic structuralcolors were achieved using grayscale stripe images to accurately encode the periods and heights of the nanogrid structures. Overall, dynamicstructural color networks exhibit promising potential for applications in information encryption and in situ sensing for microfluidic chips.

文摘Vanadium pentoxide(V_(2)O_(5))displays the characteristics of high theoretical specific capacity,high operating voltage,and adjustable layered structure,possessing the considerable potential as cathode in magnesium metal batteries(MMBs).Nevertheless,the large charge-radius ratio of Mg^(2+)induces the strong interactions of Mg^(2+)with solvent molecules of electrolyte and anionic framework of cathode,resulting in a notable voltage polarization and structural deterioration during cycling process.Herein,an in-situ multi-scale structural engineering is proposed to activate the interlayer-expanded V_(2)O_(5)cathode(pillared by tetrabutylammonium cation)via adding hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)additive into electrolyte.During cycling,the in-situ incorporation of CTA^(+)not only enhances the electrostatic shielding effect and Mg species migration,but also stabilizes the interlayer spacing.Besides,CTA^(+)is prone to be adsorbed on cathode surface and induces the loss-free pulverization and amorphization of electroactive grains,leading to the pronounced effect of intercalation pseudocapacitance.CTAB additive also enables to scissor the Mg^(2+)solvation sheath and tailor the insertion mode of Mg species,further endowing V_(2)O_(5)cathode with fast reaction kinetics.Based on these merits,the corresponding V2O5‖Mg full cells exhibit the remarkable rate performance with capacities as high as 317.6,274.4,201.1,and 132.7 mAh g^(-1)at the high current densities of 0.1,0.2,0.5,and 1 A g^(-1),respectively.Moreover,after 1000 cycles,the capacity is still preserved to be 90,4 mAh g^(-1)at 1 A g^(-1)with an average coulombic efficiency of~100%.Our strategy of synergetic modulations of cathode host and electrolyte solvation structures provides new guidance for the development of high-rate,large-capacity,and long-life MMBs.

文摘Monitoring minuscule mechanical signals,both in magnitude and direction,is imperative in many application scenarios,e.g.,structural health monitoring and robotic sensing systems.However,the piezoelectric sensor struggles to satisfy the requirements for directional recognition due to the limited piezoelectric coefficient matrix,and achieving sensitivity for detecting micrometer-scale deformations is also challenging.Herein,we develop a vector sensor composed of lead zirconate titanate-electronic grade glass fiber composite filaments with oriented arrangement,capable of detecting minute anisotropic deformations.The as-prepared vector sensor can identify the deformation directions even when subjected to an unprecedented nominal strain of 0.06%,thereby enabling its utility in accurately discerning the 5μm-height wrinkles in thin films and in monitoring human pulse waves.The ultra-high sensitivity is attributed to the formation of porous ferroelectret and the efficient load transfer efficiency of continuous lead zirconate titanate phase.Additionally,when integrated with machine learning techniques,the sensor’s capability to recognize multi-signals enables it to differentiate between 10 types of fine textures with 100%accuracy.The structural design in piezoelectric devices enables a more comprehensive perception of mechanical stimuli,offering a novel perspective for enhancing recognition accuracy.

文摘This paper presents a new type of triangular Sharp Eagle wave energy converter(WEC)platform.On the basis of the linear potential flow theory and the finite element analysis method,the hydrodynamic performance and structural response of the platform are studied,considering the actual platform motion and free surface rise under extreme sea states.First,the effects of the wave frequency and direction on the wave-induced loads and dynamic responses were examined.The motion at a wave direction angle of 0°is relatively low.On this basis,the angle constrained by the two sides of the Sharp Eagle floaters should be aligned with the main wave direction to avoid significant platform motion under extreme sea states.Additionally,the structural response of the platform,including the wave-absorbing floaters,is investigated.The results highlighted that the conditions or locations where yielding,buckling,and fatigue failures occur were different.In this context,the connection area of the Sharp Eagle floaters and platform is prone to yielding failure under oblique wave action,whereas the pontoon and side of the Sharp Eagle floaters are prone to buckling failure during significant vertical motion.Additionally,fatigue damage is most likely to occur at the connection between the middle column on both sides of the Sharp Eagle floaters and the pontoons.The findings of this paper revealed an intrinsic connection between wave-induced loads and the dynamic and structural responses of the platform,which provides a useful reference for the improved design of WECs.
文摘This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction(UAE)(at 20 kHz and different powers of 0,200,300,400,500 and 600 W for 10 min)on the yield,structure and emulsifying properties of chickpea protein isolate(CPI).Compared with the non-ultrasound group,ultrasound treatment at 400 W resulted in the largest increase in CPI yield,and both the particle size and turbidity decreased with increasing ultrasound power from 0 to 400 W.The scanning electron microscope results showed a uniform structural distribution of CPI.Moreover,itsα-helix content increased,β-sheet content decreased,and total sulfhydryl group content and endogenous fluorescence intensity rose,illustrating that UAE changed the secondary and tertiary structure of CPI.At 400 W,the solubility of the emulsion increased to 63.18%,and the best emulsifying properties were obtained;the emulsifying activity index(EAI)and emulsifying stability index(ESI)increased by 85.42%and 46.78%,respectively.Furthermore,the emulsion droplets formed were smaller and more uniform.In conclusion,proper UAE power conditions increased the extraction yield and protein content of CPI,and effectively improved its structure and emulsifying characteristics.
文摘In this paper,the failure caused by HRAM loads which were generated by high-speed projectile penetration,and protection technology of the fluid-filled structure were explored.A bubble was preset on the projectile trajectory in a fluid-filled structure.Based on the reflection and transmission phenomena of pressure waves at the gas-liquid interface and the compressibility characteristics of gases,a numerical analysis was conducted on the influence of preset bubble on projectile penetration and structural failure characteristics.The results indicate that the secondary water-entry impact phenomenon occurs when a preset bubble exists on the projectile trajectory,leading to the secondary water entry impact loads.The rarefaction waves reflected on the surface of the preset bubble cause the attenuation ratio of the initial impact pressure peak to reach 68.8%and the total specific impulse attenuation ratio to reach 48.6%.Furthermore,the larger the bubble,the faster the projectile,and the more obvious the attenuation effect.Moreover,due to the compressibility of the bubble,the global deformation attenuation ratio of the front and rear walls can reach over 80%.However,the larger the bubble size,the faster the projectile velocity,the smaller the local deformation attenuation effect of the rear wall,and the more severe the failure at the perforation of the rear wall.

文摘A series of true triaxial unloading tests are conducted on sandstone specimens with a single structural plane to investigate their mechanical behaviors and failure characteristics under different in situ stress states.The experimental results indicate that the dip angle of structural plane(θ)and the intermediate principal stress(σ2)have an important influence on the peak strength,cracking mode,and rockburst severity.The peak strength exhibits a first increase and then decrease as a function ofσ2 for a constantθ.However,whenσ2 is constant,the maximum peak strength is obtained atθof 90°,and the minimum peak strength is obtained atθof 30°or 45°.For the case of an inclined structural plane,the crack type at the tips of structural plane transforms from a mix of wing and anti-wing cracks to wing cracks with an increase inσ2,while the crack type around the tips of structural plane is always anti-wing cracks for the vertical structural plane,accompanied by a series of tensile cracks besides.The specimens with structural plane do not undergo slabbing failure regardless ofθ,and always exhibit composite tensile-shear failure whatever theσ2 value is.With an increase inσ2 andθ,the intensity of the rockburst is consistent with the tendency of the peak strength.By analyzing the relationship between the cohesion(c),internal friction angle(φ),andθin sandstone specimens,we incorporateθinto the true triaxial unloading strength criterion,and propose a modified linear Mogi-Coulomb criterion.Moreover,the crack propagation mechanism at the tips of structural plane,and closure degree of the structural plane under true triaxial unloading conditions are also discussed and summarized.This study provides theoretical guidance for stability assessment of surrounding rocks containing geological structures in deep complex stress environments.
文摘Spinal cord injury results in paralysis, sensory disturbances, sphincter dysfunction, and multiple systemic secondary conditions, most arising from autonomic dysregulation. All this produces profound negative psychosocial implications for affected people, their families, and their communities;the financial costs can be challenging for their families and health institutions. Treatments aimed at restoring the spinal cord after spinal cord injury, which have been tested in animal models or clinical trials, generally seek to counteract one or more of the secondary mechanisms of injury to limit the extent of the initial damage. Most published works on structural/functional restoration in acute and chronic spinal cord injury stages use a single type of treatment: a drug or trophic factor, transplant of a cell type, and implantation of a biomaterial. Despite the significant benefits reported in animal models, when translating these successful therapeutic strategies to humans, the result in clinical trials has been considered of little relevance because the improvement, when present, is usually insufficient. Until now, most studies designed to promote neuroprotection or regeneration at different stages after spinal cord injury have used single treatments. Considering the occurrence of various secondary mechanisms of injury in the acute and sub-acute phases of spinal cord injury, it is reasonable to speculate that more than one therapeutic agent could be required to promote structural and functional restoration of the damaged spinal cord. Treatments that combine several therapeutic agents, targeting different mechanisms of injury, which, when used as a single therapy, have shown some benefits, allow us to assume that they will have synergistic beneficial effects. Thus, this narrative review article aims to summarize current trends in the use of strategies that combine therapeutic agents administered simultaneously or sequentially, seeking structural and functional restoration of the injured spinal cord.

文摘Metallogenic research on structural levels can reveal vertical patterns of mineralization and facilitate the deep exploration of economic minerals.However,research focusing on the correlation between structural levels and mineralization remains limited.In this study,we summarize the deformation patterns and associated mineral deposits observed at different crustal levels(i.e.,surface,shallow,middle,and deep structural levels,corresponding to depths of<2,2-8,8-15,and>15 km,respectively).Furthermore,we examine the genetic association between structural levels and metallogenesis,demonstrating that distinct structural levels are linked to specific types of mineralization.Key factors that vary across crustal levels include temperature,pressure,and fluid circulation.Ore-forming processes involve interactions between structures and fluids under varying temperatures and pressures.Structural levels influence mineralization by controlling the temperatures,pressures,and deformation mechanisms that drive the activation,migration,and enrichment of ore-forming materials.

文摘The structural,relative stability,and electronic properties of two-dimensional AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)were predicted and studied using the particle-swarm optimization method and first principles calculations.We proposed two low energy structures with P312 and P-31m phases,both of which the structures are hexagonal in shape and show non-centrosymmetry for the P312 phase and centrosymmetry for the P-31m phase.According to our results,two structural phases are found to be stable thermally and dynamically.The P312 phase of AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)are indirect semiconductors with band gaps of 2.44 eV(AsP2S6)and 2.18 eV(AsP2Se6)at the HSE06 level,and their absorption coefficients are predicted to reach the order of 10^(5)cm^(-1)from visible light to ultraviolet region,but the main absorption is manly in the ultraviolet region.The P-31m phase of AsP_(2)X_(6)(X=S,Se)exhibits metal character with the Fermi surface mainly occupied by the p orbital of S/Se.Remarkably,estimated by first principles calculations,the P-31m AsP2S6 is found to be an intrinsic phonon-mediated superconductor with a relatively high critical superconducting temperature of about 13.4 K,and the P-31m AsP2Se6 only has a superconducting temperature of 1.4 K,which suggest that the P-31m AsP2S6 may be a good candidate for a nanoscale superconductor.

文摘The Longmenshan structural belt on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau experienced the impactful Mw7.92008 Wenchuan Earthquake,causing a 350 km surface rupture.Traditional models attribute this to the Beichuan and Pengguan faults,but our research reveals a complex fault system at the northern end,with inconsistencies in surface rupture,aftershock distribution,and focal mechanisms.We integrate shallow geology,active source seismic reflection,and magnetotelluric profiling to establish a deep structural model for the northern end of the Longmenshan structural belt.This area exhibits dominant reverse thrust nappe tectonics,and analyzing the tectonic evolution history provides insights into deformation propagation from the orogenic belt toward the Sichuan Basin.Focal mechanism analysis and relocated aftershock data reveals two distinct types of seismogenic structures in the northern end of the Longmenshan structural belt.In the middle to northern segments,the reverse fault type is attributed to reactivated pre-existing faults.Conversely,at the northern end,the strike-slip fault type originates from high-angle co-seismic rupture cutting through pre-existing reverse faults.This study enhances our understanding of fault complexity and seismic mechanisms in the northeastern Longmenshan structural belt,providing new insights into regional tectonics.
文摘As one of the most important industrially viable methods for carbon dioxide(CO_(2))utilization,methanol synthesis serves as a platform for production of green fuels and commodity chemicals.For sustainable methanol synthesis,In_(2)O_(3)is an ideal catalyst and has garnered significant attention.Herein,cubic In_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles were prepared via the precipitation method and evaluated for CO_(2)hydrogenation to produce methanol.During the initial 10 h of reaction,CO_(2)conversion gradually increased,accompanied by a slow decrease of methanol selectivity,and the reaction reached equilibrium after 10-20 h on stream.This activation and induction stage may be attributed to the sintering of In_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles and the creation of more oxygen vacancies on In_(2)O_(3)surfaces.Further experimental studies demonstrate that hydrogen induction created additional oxygen vacancies during the catalyst activation stage,enhancing the performance of In_(2)O_(3)catalyst for CO_(2)hydrogenation.Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic simulations further demonstrated that surfaces with higher oxygen vacancy coverages or hydroxylated surfaces formed during this induction period can enhance the reaction rate and increase the CO_(2)conversion.However,they predominantly promote the formation of CO instead of methanol,leading to reduced methanol selectivity.These predictions align well with the above-mentioned experimental observations.Our work thus provides an in-depth analysis of the induction stage of the CO_(2)hydrogenation process on In_(2)O_(3)nano-catalyst,and offers valuable insights for significantly improving the CO_(2)reactivity of In_(2)O_(3)-based catalysts while maintaining long-term stability.
