Chemical components of methylbenzene/ethanol extractives of Eucalyptus grandis were identified by GC/MS and different methylbenzene/ethanol solutions （9/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/2） were used to describe their distinction...Chemical components of methylbenzene/ethanol extractives of Eucalyptus grandis were identified by GC/MS and different methylbenzene/ethanol solutions （9/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/2） were used to describe their distinctions. The distributions of micro particles in each extractive were studied simultaneously. The results show that there were significant differences between the various extrac- tives, although the extractives were essentially the same, i.e., alcohols, alkanes, esters and acids. With the increase of ethanol compo- sition in the solutions, the total amount of extractives increased; in solvent with higher amounts of ethanol, some acidic structures or acids, such as glutaric acid, could be seen. An investigation of micro particles indicated that the distribution of particle size of each sample did not change greatly between the solutions. A slight decrease in size was seen with the reduction in the amount of methylbenzene.展开更多

The fractal dimension Dfs is very informative in investigating the roughness of the internal surfaces of wood. In this study, the water sorption isotherms, including adsorption and desorption isotherm, of untreated, benzene-alcohol extracted and delignified (after benzene-alcohol extracted) spruce (Cuninghamia lanceolata) were measured at 30℃. On the basis of these isotherms, the Dfs values were calculated by FHH equation, which is based on multimolecular sorption. The results showed that both groups of Dfs values (respectively calculated from adsorption and desorption isotherms) of untreated, benzene-alcohol extracted and delignified wood have same order, that is, untreated > benzene-alcohol extracted - delignified. Therefore, the conclusion can be made that the benzene-alcohol extractives have significant contribution to the fractal geometry of internal wood surfaces. Lignin also has influence on the fractal geometry, but this influence is very small while compared with that of the extractives. Moreover, the Dfs values calculated from adsorption isotherms are bigger than those from desorption isotherms.展开更多

In response to the challenges in highway pavement distress detection,such as multiple defect categories,difficulties in feature extraction for different damage types,and slow identification speeds,this paper proposes ...In response to the challenges in highway pavement distress detection,such as multiple defect categories,difficulties in feature extraction for different damage types,and slow identification speeds,this paper proposes an enhanced pavement crack detection model named Star-YOLO11.This improved algorithm modifies the YOLO11 architecture by substituting the original C3k2 backbone network with a Star-s50 feature extraction network.The enhanced structure adjusts the number of stacked layers in the StarBlock module to optimize detection accuracy and improve model efficiency.To enhance the accuracy of pavement crack detection and improve model efficiency,three key modifications to the YOLO11 architecture are proposed.Firstly,the original C3k2 backbone is replaced with a StarBlock-based structure,forming the Star-s50 feature extraction backbone network.This lightweight redesign reduces computational complexity while maintaining detection precision.Secondly,to address the inefficiency of the original Partial Self-attention(PSA)mechanism in capturing localized crack features,the convolutional prior-aware Channel Prior Convolutional Attention(CPCA)mechanism is integrated into the channel dimension,creating a hybrid CPC-C2PSA attention structure.Thirdly,the original neck structure is upgraded to a Star Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network(SMAFPN)based on the Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network architecture,which adaptively fuses high-level semantic and low-level spatial information through Star-s50 connections and C3k2 extraction blocks.Additionally,a composite dataset augmentation strategy combining traditional and advanced augmentation techniques is developed.This strategy is validated on a specialized pavement dataset containing five distinct crack categories for comprehensive training and evaluation.Experimental results indicate that the proposed Star-YOLO11 achieves an accuracy of 89.9%(3.5%higher than the baseline),a mean average precision(mAP)of 90.3%(+2.6%),and an F1-score of 85.8%(+0.5%),while reducing the model size by 18.8%and reaching a frame rate of 225.73 frames per second(FPS)for real-time detection.It shows potential for lightweight deployment in pavement crack detection tasks.展开更多

文摘Chemical components of methylbenzene/ethanol extractives of Eucalyptus grandis were identified by GC/MS and different methylbenzene/ethanol solutions （9/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/2） were used to describe their distinctions. The distributions of micro particles in each extractive were studied simultaneously. The results show that there were significant differences between the various extrac- tives, although the extractives were essentially the same, i.e., alcohols, alkanes, esters and acids. With the increase of ethanol compo- sition in the solutions, the total amount of extractives increased; in solvent with higher amounts of ethanol, some acidic structures or acids, such as glutaric acid, could be seen. An investigation of micro particles indicated that the distribution of particle size of each sample did not change greatly between the solutions. A slight decrease in size was seen with the reduction in the amount of methylbenzene.

文摘The isolated hydrophilic black alder(Alnus glutinosa)bark extractives were characterized in terms of component and functional composition and converted at 150℃-170℃ into liquid green polyols using solvent-free and lowtoxic base-catalyzed modification with propylene carbonate(PC).FTIR spectroscopy,HP-LC,GC,GPC,and wet chemistry methods were used to characterize the starting constituents,intermediate and final products of the reaction and to monitor the different pathways of PC conversion.The reaction of extractives as well as the model compounds,including catechol,xylose,PEG 400,and benzoic acid,with PC indicated the ability of OH groups of different origins present in the extractives to condense with equivalent amounts of PC.The polyols obtained consist of a copolymer fraction with one oxypropyl unit grafted per OH functionality of extractive components on average and oligo oxypropyl diols with a small number of carbonate linkages in the chain,obtained as a result of remaining PC homopolymerization.The domination of the oxypropylation mechanism vs.transcarbonation for PC ring opening was observed for both copolymerization and homopolymerization processes,making the process of oxypropylation with PC similar to that of conventional oxypropylation.At optimal reaction conditions,including a PC/OH ratio of 3.0 and a 24-h duration at 150°C,uniform polyols with low viscosity of~900 mPa·s^(-1),a biomass content of~27%,and an OHV of~500 mg KOH·g^(-1) were obtained.Increasing the temperature of modification allows shortening the process but drastically increases the polyol viscosity.At fixed temperature values,increasing the PC/OH ratio not only decreases the biomass content but also strongly prolongs the processing.The significantly increased duration of the process using PC as an alternative oxyalkylation agent compared to that of oxyalkylation with propylene oxide is a reasonable trade-off for using a safer and more environmentally friendly technology.

文摘Internal wood surfaces can be treated as fractals, which are between Euclidean geometry and complete randomness. The fractal dimension Dfs is very informative in investigating the roughness of the internal surfaces of wood. In this study, the water sorption isotherms, including adsorption and desorption isotherm, of untreated, benzene-alcohol extracted and delignified (after benzene-alcohol extracted) spruce (Cuninghamia lanceolata) were measured at 30℃. On the basis of these isotherms, the Dfs values were calculated by FHH equation, which is based on multimolecular sorption. The results showed that both groups of Dfs values (respectively calculated from adsorption and desorption isotherms) of untreated, benzene-alcohol extracted and delignified wood have same order, that is, untreated > benzene-alcohol extracted - delignified. Therefore, the conclusion can be made that the benzene-alcohol extractives have significant contribution to the fractal geometry of internal wood surfaces. Lignin also has influence on the fractal geometry, but this influence is very small while compared with that of the extractives. Moreover, the Dfs values calculated from adsorption isotherms are bigger than those from desorption isotherms.

文摘In response to the challenges in highway pavement distress detection,such as multiple defect categories,difficulties in feature extraction for different damage types,and slow identification speeds,this paper proposes an enhanced pavement crack detection model named Star-YOLO11.This improved algorithm modifies the YOLO11 architecture by substituting the original C3k2 backbone network with a Star-s50 feature extraction network.The enhanced structure adjusts the number of stacked layers in the StarBlock module to optimize detection accuracy and improve model efficiency.To enhance the accuracy of pavement crack detection and improve model efficiency,three key modifications to the YOLO11 architecture are proposed.Firstly,the original C3k2 backbone is replaced with a StarBlock-based structure,forming the Star-s50 feature extraction backbone network.This lightweight redesign reduces computational complexity while maintaining detection precision.Secondly,to address the inefficiency of the original Partial Self-attention(PSA)mechanism in capturing localized crack features,the convolutional prior-aware Channel Prior Convolutional Attention(CPCA)mechanism is integrated into the channel dimension,creating a hybrid CPC-C2PSA attention structure.Thirdly,the original neck structure is upgraded to a Star Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network(SMAFPN)based on the Multi-Branch Auxiliary Feature Pyramid Network architecture,which adaptively fuses high-level semantic and low-level spatial information through Star-s50 connections and C3k2 extraction blocks.Additionally,a composite dataset augmentation strategy combining traditional and advanced augmentation techniques is developed.This strategy is validated on a specialized pavement dataset containing five distinct crack categories for comprehensive training and evaluation.Experimental results indicate that the proposed Star-YOLO11 achieves an accuracy of 89.9%(3.5%higher than the baseline),a mean average precision(mAP)of 90.3%(+2.6%),and an F1-score of 85.8%(+0.5%),while reducing the model size by 18.8%and reaching a frame rate of 225.73 frames per second(FPS)for real-time detection.It shows potential for lightweight deployment in pavement crack detection tasks.
文摘Since Google introduced the concept of Knowledge Graphs(KGs)in 2012,their construction technologies have evolved into a comprehensive methodological framework encompassing knowledge acquisition,extraction,representation,modeling,fusion,computation,and storage.Within this framework,knowledge extraction,as the core component,directly determines KG quality.In military domains,traditional manual curation models face efficiency constraints due to data fragmentation,complex knowledge architectures,and confidentiality protocols.Meanwhile,crowdsourced ontology construction approaches from general domains prove non-transferable,while human-crafted ontologies struggle with generalization deficiencies.To address these challenges,this study proposes an OntologyAware LLM Methodology for Military Domain Knowledge Extraction(LLM-KE).This approach leverages the deep semantic comprehension capabilities of Large Language Models(LLMs)to simulate human experts’cognitive processes in crowdsourced ontology construction,enabling automated extraction of military textual knowledge.It concurrently enhances knowledge processing efficiency and improves KG completeness.Empirical analysis demonstrates that this method effectively resolves scalability and dynamic adaptation challenges in military KG construction,establishing a novel technological pathway for advancing military intelligence development.

文摘Background:Neurological disorders(NDs),including ischemic stroke(IS),Parkinson’s disease(PD),and Alzheimer’s disease(AD),are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality.Boswellia extract has demonstrated neuroprotective properties,yet a comprehensive systematic review assessing its efficacy remains absent.This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Boswellia extract in treating NDs,with a particular focus on its effects in AD and its potential for long-term neurorestoration,thereby supporting further investigation into Boswellia’s therapeutic role in ND management.Methods:A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed,Web of Science,ScienceDirect,and Google Scholar for English-language studies published up to March 2024.Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis.The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO(CRD42024524386).Eligible studies involved rodent models of IS,PD,or AD with post-operative interventions using Boswellia extract.Data extraction focused on mechanisms of action,dosages,treatment durations,and therapeutic outcomes.Studies were excluded if they involved non-ND models,combined treatments,or had incomplete data.Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction.Statistical analyses were conducted using Stata(version 17)and RevMan(version 5.4),employing fixed or random-effects models based on heterogeneity assessments.Result s:Boswellia extract significantly improved the mean effect size for NDs(ES=1.28,95%CI(1.05,1.51),P<0.001).Specifically,it reduced cerebral infarct volume in IS(SMD=−2.87,95%CI(−3.42,−2.32))and enhanced behavioral outcomes in AD(SMD=3.26,95%CI(2.07,5.14))and PD(SMD=5.37,95%CI(3.93,6.80)).Subgroup analyses revealed that Boswellia extract exhibited superior efficacy in AD when administered orally and via intra-cerebroventricular injection.Long-term treatment with Boswellia extract suggested potential neurorestorative effects.Additionally,Boswellia extract was more effective than its monomeric constituents,highlighting its promising role in ND treatment.Conclusion:Boswellia extract demonstrates significant neuroprotective effects across various NDs,particularly in AD and in promoting long-term neurorestoration.These findings support the need for further research into Boswellia’s potential as a therapeutic agent in the management of neurological disorders.
文摘The increased interest in geothermal energy is evident,along with the exploitation of traditional hydrothermal systems,in the growing research and projects developing around the reuse of already-drilled oil,gas,and exploration wells.The Republic of Croatia has around 4000 wells,however,due to a long period since most of these wells were drilled and completed,there is uncertainty about how many are available for retrofitting as deep-borehole heat exchangers.Nevertheless,as hydrocarbon production decreases,it is expected that the number of wells available for the revitalization and exploitation of geothermal energy will increase.The revitalization of wells via deep-borehole heat exchangers involves installing a coaxial heat exchanger and circulating the working fluid in a closed system,during which heat is transferred from the surrounding rock medium to the circulating fluid.Since drilled wells are not of uniformdepth and are located in areas with different thermal rock properties and geothermal gradients,an analysis was conducted to determine available thermal energy as a function of well depth,geothermal gradient,and circulating fluid flow rate.Additionally,an economic analysis was performed to determine the benefits of retrofitting existing assets,such as drilled wells,compared to drilling new wells to obtain the same amount of thermal energy.
文摘AIM:To investigate the long-term outcomes in acute primary angle closure(APAC)patients treated with lens extraction(LE)surgery and to identify risk factors for glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON).METHODS:In this longitudinal observational study,detailed medical histories of APAC patients and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at final followup were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of blindness.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors associated with visual outcomes.RESULTS:This study included 39 affected eyes of 31 subjects(26 females)with an average age of 74.1±8.0y.At 6.7±4.2y after APAC attack,2(5.7%)eyes had bestcorrected visual acuity(VA)worse than 3/60.Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was observed in 15(39.5%)affected eyes and 5(25.0%)fellow eyes.Nine affected eyes(23.7%)had GON,and 11(28.9%)were blind.Six(15.4%)affected eyes and 2(9.1%)fellow eyes had suspicious progression.A significantly higher blindness rate in factory workers compared to office workers.Logistic regression identified that worse VA at attack(OR 10.568,95%CI 1.288-86.695;P=0.028)and worse early postoperative VA(OR 13.214,95%CI 1.157-150.881;P=0.038)were risk factors for blindness.Multivariate regression showed that longer duration of elevated intraocular pressure(P=0.004)and worse early postoperative VA(P=0.009)were associated with worse visual outcomes.CONCLUSION:Despite LE surgery,some APAC patients experience continued visual function deterioration.Lifelong monitoring is necessary.Target pressure and progression rates should be re-evaluated during follow-up.

文摘Optimizing the microchannel design of the next generation of chips requires an understanding of the in situ property evolution of the chip-based materials under fast cooling.This work overcomes the conventional reliance on reheating data of melt-quenched glasses by demonstrating direct observations of glass transition on cooling curves utilizing the most advanced fast differential scanning calorimetry.By leveraging an MEMS chip sensor that allows for rapid heat extraction from microgram-sized samples to a purged gas coolant,the device is able to reach ultra-fast cooling rates of up to 40,000 K·s^(−1).Four thermal regions are identified by examining the cooling behaviors of two metallic glasses.This is because the actual rate of the specimen can differ from the programmed rate,especially at high set rate when the actual rate decreases before the glass transition is completed.We define the operational window for reliable cooling curve analysis,build models with empirical and theoretical analyses to determine the maximum feasible cooling rate,and demonstrate how optimizing sample mass and environment temperature broaden this window.The method avoids deceptive structural relaxation effects verified by fictivetemperature analysis and permits the capture of full glass transition during cooling.

文摘Parkinson’s disease(PD)is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting over 10 million people worldwide.PD classification models using voice signals as input are common in the literature.It is believed that using deep learning algorithms further enhances performance;nevertheless,it is challenging due to the nature of small-scale and imbalanced PD datasets.This paper proposed a convolutional neural network-based deep support vector machine(CNN-DSVM)to automate the feature extraction process using CNN and extend the conventional SVM to a DSVM for better classification performance in small-scale PD datasets.A customized kernel function reduces the impact of biased classification towards the majority class(healthy candidates in our consideration).An improved generative adversarial network(IGAN)was designed to generate additional training data to enhance the model’s performance.For performance evaluation,the proposed algorithm achieves a sensitivity of 97.6%and a specificity of 97.3%.The performance comparison is evaluated from five perspectives,including comparisons with different data generation algorithms,feature extraction techniques,kernel functions,and existing works.Results reveal the effectiveness of the IGAN algorithm,which improves the sensitivity and specificity by 4.05%–4.72%and 4.96%–5.86%,respectively;and the effectiveness of the CNN-DSVM algorithm,which improves the sensitivity by 1.24%–57.4%and specificity by 1.04%–163%and reduces biased detection towards the majority class.The ablation experiments confirm the effectiveness of individual components.Two future research directions have also been suggested.

文摘The valorization of Amazonian wood residues into active chemical compounds could be an eco-friendly,cost-effective and valuable way to develop wood preservative formulations to enhance the decay and termite resistance of low-durable wood species.Wacapou(Vouacapoua americana.,Fabaceae)is a well-known Guianese wood spe-cies commonly used in local wood construction due to its outstanding natural durability,which results from the presence of a large panel of extractives compounds.In addition,its industrial processing generates large amounts of residues.Wacapou residues were extracted by maceration using four different solvents(water/ethanol,ethyl acetate,hexane and dichloromethane/methanol),separately and successively.The yield of each extractive fraction was determined,and their chemical compositions were analyzed by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry(LC-MS).Ethyl acetate led to the highest extraction yield,and the active compounds were identified in the obtained extractive fraction.In this sense,the fungicidal and termite-repellent properties of these extractives were then tested using a screening laboratory(with temperate and tropical microorganisms),according to the solution concentration(1%,2.5%,5%,8%and 10%).Finally,Virola michelii Heckel wood samples(low durable species)were impregnated with the 8%concentration solution.The impregnated wood samples were then exposed to a soil bed test.The results highlighted that the nature of the solvent used during wood maceration affects the con-tent of the obtained extractive fractions.Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography–High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry(UHPLC-HRMS)analyses showed the influence of extraction parameters on the nature of the extracted molecules.Wacapou extracts(from ethyl acetate maceration)showed good anti-fungal and anti-termite activities.Additionally,the concentration in extractives had an impact on the anti-termite activity level for Reti-culitermesflavipes and Cryptotermes sp.Formulations based on Wacapou extractives showed a good potential for valorization in eco-friendly preservatives,aiming to confer better durability to local low-durability wood species.

文摘Background:The heartwood(HW)proportion in the trunk of mature trees is an important characteristic not only for wood quality but also for assessing the role of forests in carbon sequestration.We have for the first time studied the proportion of HW in the trunk and the distribution of carbon and extractives in sapwood(SW)and HW of 70–80 year old Pinus sylvestris L.trees under different growing conditions in the pine forests of North-West Russia.Method:We have examined the influence of conditions and tree position in stand(dominant,intermediate and suppressed trees)in the ecological series:blueberry pine forest(Blu)–lingonberry pine forest(Lin)–lichen pine forest(Lic).We have analyzed the influence of climate conditions in the biogeographical series of Lin:the middle taiga subzone–the northern taiga subzone–the transition area of the northern taiga subzone and tundra.Results:We found that the carbon concentration in HW was 1.6%–3.4%higher than in SW,and the difference depended on growing conditions.Carbon concentration in HW increased with a decrease in stand productivity(Blu-Lin-Lic).In medium-productive stands,the carbon concentration in SW was higher in intermediate and supressed trees compared to dominant trees.In the series from south to north,carbon concentration in HW increased by up to 2%,while in SW,it rose by 2.7%–3.8%.Conclusions:Our results once again emphasized the need for an empirical assessment of the accurate carbon content in aboveground wood biomass,including various forest growing conditions,to better understand the role of boreal forests in carbon storage.

文摘Silver nanoparticles(Ag NPs)have attracted attention in the field of biomaterials due to their excellent antibacterial property.However,the reducing and stabilizing agents used for the chemical reduction of Ag NPs are usually toxic and may cause water pollution.In this work,Ag NPs(31.2 nm in diameter)were prepared using the extract of straw,an agricultural waste,as the reducing and stabilizing agent.Experimental analysis revealed that the straw extract contained lignin,the structure of which possesses phenolic hydroxyl and methoxy groups that facilitate the reduction of silver salts into Ag NPs.The surfaces of Ag NPs were negatively charged due to the encapsulation of a thin layer of lignin molecules that prevented their aggregation.After the prepared Ag NPs were added to the precursor solution of acrylamide,free radical polymerization was triggered without the need for extra heating or light irradiation,resulting in the rapid formation of an Ag NP-polyacrylamide composite hydrogel.The inhibition zone test proved that the composite hydrogel possessed excellent antibacterial ability due to the presence of Ag NPs.The prepared hydrogel may have potential applications in the fabrication of biomedical materials,such as antibacterial dressings.
