Here, we report a strategy to induce high-density growth twins in aluminum alloys through the heterogeneous nucleation of twinned Al grains on twin-structured TiC nucleants and the preferred growth of twinned dendrites by laser surface remelting of bulk metals. The solidification structure at the surface shows a mixture of lamellar twinned dendrites with ultra-fine twin boundary spacing (∼2 µm), isolated twinned dendrites, and regular dendrites. EBSD analysis and finite element method (FEM) simulations have been used to understand the competitive growth between twinned and regular dendrites, and the solidification conditions for the preferred growth of twinned dendrites during laser remelting and subsequent rapid solidification are established. It is shown that the reduction in the ratio of temperature gradient G to solidification rate V promotes the formation of lamellar twinned dendrites. The primary trunk spacing of lamellar twinned dendrites is refined by the high thermal gradient and solidification rate. The present work paves a new way to generate high-density growth twins in additive-manufactured Al alloys.展开更多

文摘Recommending personalized travel routes from sparse,implicit feedback poses a significant challenge,as conventional systems often struggle with information overload and fail to capture the complex,sequential nature of user preferences.To address this,we propose a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network(CGAN)that generates diverse and highly relevant itineraries.Our approach begins by constructing a conditional vector that encapsulates a user’s profile.This vector uniquely fuses embeddings from a Heterogeneous Information Network(HIN)to model complex user-place-route relationships,a Recurrent Neural Network(RNN)to capture sequential path dynamics,and Neural Collaborative Filtering(NCF)to incorporate collaborative signals from the wider user base.This comprehensive condition,further enhanced with features representing user interaction confidence and uncertainty,steers a CGAN stabilized by spectral normalization to generate high-fidelity latent route representations,effectively mitigating the data sparsity problem.Recommendations are then formulated using an Anchor-and-Expand algorithm,which selects relevant starting Points of Interest(POI)based on user history,then expands routes through latent similarity matching and geographic coherence optimization,culminating in Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP)-based route optimization for practical travel distances.Experiments on a real-world check-in dataset validate our model’s unique generative capability,achieving F1 scores ranging from 0.163 to 0.305,and near-zero pairs−F1 scores between 0.002 and 0.022.These results confirm the model’s success in generating novel travel routes by recommending new locations and sequences rather than replicating users’past itineraries.This work provides a robust solution for personalized travel planning,capable of generating novel and compelling routes for both new and existing users by learning from collective travel intelligence.

文摘Drug development for Alzheimer’s disease is extremely challenging,as demonstrated by the repeated failures of amyloid-β-targeted therapeutics and the controversies surrounding the amyloid-βcascade hypothesis.More recently,advances in the development of Lecanemab,an anti-amyloid-βmonoclonal antibody,have shown positive results in reducing brain A burden and slowing cognitive decline in patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease in the Phase Ⅲ clinical trial(Clarity Alzheimer’s disease).Despite these promising results,side effects such as amyloid-related imaging abnormalities(ARIA)may limit its usage.ARIA can manifest as ARIA-E(cerebral edema or effusions)and ARIA-H(microhemorrhages or superficial siderosis)and is thought to be caused by increased vascular permeability due to inflammatory responses,leading to leakages of blood products and protein-rich fluid into brain parenchyma.Endothelial dysfunction is an early pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease,and the blood-brain barrier becomes increasingly leaky as the disease progresses.In addition,APOE4,the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease,is associated with higher vascular amyloid burden,increased ARIA incidence,and accelerated blood-brain barrier disruptions.These interconnected vascular abnormalities highlight the importance of vascular contributions to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease.Here,we will closely examine recent research evaluating the heterogeneity of brain endothelial cells in the microvasculature of different brain regions and their relationships with Alzheimer’s disease progression.

文摘Precipitation events,which follow a life cycle of initiation,development,and decay,represent the fundamental form of precipitation.Comprehensive and accurate detection of these events is crucial for effective water resource management and flood control.However,current investigations on their spatio-temporal patterns remain limited,largely because of the lack of systematic detection indices that are specifically designed for precipitation events,which constrains event-scale research.In this study,we defined a set of precipitation event detection indices(PEDI)that consists of five conventional and fourteen extreme indices to characterize precipitation events from the perspectives of intensity,duration,and frequency.Applications of the PEDI revealed the spatial patterns of hourly precipitation events in China and its first-and second-order river basins from 2008 to 2017.Both conventional and extreme precipitation events displayed spatial distribution patterns that gradually decreased in intensity,duration,and frequency from southeast to northwest China.Compared with those in northwest China,the average values of most PEDIs in southeast China were usually 2-10 times greater for first-order river basins and 3-15 times greater for second-order basins.The PEDI could serve as a reference method for investigating precipitation events at global,regional,and basin scales.

文摘Currently,the demand for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials with specific functions and capable of withstanding harsh environments is becoming increasingly urgent.Multi-component interface engineering is considered an effective means to achieve high-efficiency EMW absorption.However,interface modulation engineering has not been fully discussed and has great potential in the field of EMW absorption.In this study,multi-component tin compound fiber composites based on carbon fiber(CF)substrate were prepared by electrospinning,hydrothermal synthesis,and high-temperature thermal reduction.By utilizing the different properties of different substances,rich heterogeneous interfaces are constructed.This effectively promotes charge transfer and enhances interfacial polarization and conduction loss.The prepared SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF composites with abundant heterogeneous interfaces have and exhibit excellent EMW absorption properties at a loading of 50 wt%in epoxy resin.The minimum reflection loss(RL)is−46.74 dB and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth is 5.28 GHz.Moreover,SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF epoxy composite coatings exhibited long-term corrosion resistance on Q235 steel surfaces.Therefore,this study provides an effective strategy for the design of high-efficiency EMW absorbing materials in complex and harsh environments.

文摘Reasonable manipulation of component and microstructure is considered as a potential route to realize high-performance microwave absorber.In this paper,micro-sized hexapod-like CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites were synthesized via a facile approach involving the solvothermal method and subsequent sulfuration treatment.The resultant CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) exhibited superb microwave absorbing capacity with a minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of-59.38 dB at 2.7 mm.The maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EABmax)was 7.44 GHz(10.56-18 GHz)when the thickness was reduced to 2.3 mm.The outstanding microwave absorbing ability of CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites is mainly related to its unique hexapod shape and the formation of heterogeneous interfaces.The unique hexapod shape significantly promotes the multi-reflection of the incident electromagnetic wave(EMW)increasing the attenuation path of EMWs in the material.Hetero-geneous interfaces between CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) enable powerful interface polarization,contributing to the atten-uation of EMWs propagating in the medium.In addition,the EMW absorption performance of CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites is also inseparable from the conduction loss.This study provides a strong reference for the research of EMW absorbent materials based on transition metal sulfides.

文摘The unique high-entropy and sluggish diffusion effects of amorphous high-entropy alloys endow them with excellent thermal stability and plastic deformation.In this work,the near-equiatomic TaTiZr amorphous medium-entropy alloy(AMEA)was prepared via the magnetron sputtering to investigate the microstructural thermostability and nanoindentation creep behavior.Thermal annealing below the glass transition temperature gave rise to the microstructural heterogeneity due to the positive mixing enthalpy in TaTiZr AMEA,which became increasingly enhanced with raising the annealing temperature.Correspondingly,there appeared a monotonic increase in hardness as well as the elastic/shear modulus,yet a reduction in strain-rate sensitivity m or an increment in shear transformation zone volume with annealing temperature.Meanwhile,the indentation morphology measured by atomic force microscope exhibited a significant transformation from pile-up to sink-in,demonstrating the degradation of plastic deformability with enhancing the microstructural heterogeneity.Based on the relaxation time spectra for Maxwell-Voigt model,the microstructural heterogeneity can restrain the activation of internal defects associated with the operation of flow units during creeping,further triggering the strain-strengthening behavior and improved creep resistance in the annealed samples.This work provides significant guidance for the structural design of high-performance amorphous alloys.

文摘Increased exposure to campus green spaces can make a positive contribution to the healthy development of students.However,understanding of the current supply of campus green space(CGS)and its drivers at different education stages is still limited.A new framework was established to evaluate the spatial heterogeneity and its influencing factors across all education stages(kindergarten,primary school,middle school,college)in 1100 schools at the urban scale of Xi’an,China.The research results show that:1)CGS is lower in the Baqiao district and higher in the Yanta and Xincheng districts of Xi’an City.‘Green wealthy schools are mainly concentrated in the Weiyang,Chang’an and Yanta districts.2)CGS of these schools in descending order is college(31.40%)>kindergarten(18.32%)>middle school(13.56%)>primary school(10.70%).3)Colleges have the most recreation sites(n(number)=2),the best education levels(11.93 yr),and the lowest housing prices(1.18×10^(4) yuan(RMB)/m^(2));middle schools have the highest public expenditures(3.97×10^(9) yuan/yr);primary schools have the highest CGS accessibility(travel time gap(TTG)=31.33).4)Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression model and Spearman’s test prove that recreation sites have a significant positive impact on college green spaces(0.28–0.35),and education level has a significant positive impact on kindergarten green spaces(0.16–0.24).This research framework provides important insights for the assessment of school greening initiatives aimed at fostering healthier learning environments for future generations.

文摘Ni-based catalysts are widely applied in the hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derivatives via C-O cleavage for the production of cycloalkanes.However,they often have difficulty in achieving high activity under mild conditions and exhibit relatively poor stability,and rare studies focus on the cleavage of the stubborn interunit C-C linkages.To address this issue,we developed a Ni@AlPO_(4)/Al_(2)O_(3)catalyst in which the surface of Ni nanoparticles was decorated by AlPO_(4)species,demonstrating excellent catalytic activity and stability in the C-C and C-O cleavages.In the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol,this catalyst afforded99.1%conversion and 92.9%yield of cyclohexane under 1 MPa H_(2)at 230℃ for 2 h.More important,this catalyst maintained unchanged performance even after 6 runs with the conversion controlled at about50%,Mecha nistic investigations revealed that the moderate surface coverage of AlPO_(4)on Ni with the formation of Ni^(δ+)-AlPO_(4)interface significantly facilitated the conversion of methoxycyclohexanol and cyclohexanol to cyclohexane,whereas,excess coverage would also block the access to Ni site.Moreover,Ni@AlPO_(4)/Al_(2)O_(3)demonstrated broad applicability in the C-O cleavage of various typical lignin monomers and dimers into cycloalkanes.To our delight,this catalyst also displayed pretty good activity even in the simultaneous cleavage of C-C linkages and C-O bonds for the lignin-derived C-C dimers,achieving cycloalkanes as final products.As a consequence,a 27.1 wt%yield of monocycloalkanes was obtained in the depolymerization of poplar lignin with both C-C and C-O cleavages.

文摘Uncovering the evolution process of rural revitalization level(RRL)in China and elucidating the complex driving mechanism hold significant implications for implementing rural revitalization strategy and advancing rural modernization.This study analyzes the spatio-temporal evolution of China's RRL from 2002 to 2022 and reveals its complex driving mechanism.The results show that China's RRL steadily increased from 0.1083 to 0.4463,and the provincial RRL exhibited the characteristic of decreasing successively in the eastern region,the central region,and the western region.The overall differences of RRL are shrinking,and intra-group differences contribute almost 1/3 of the overall variation,more than the contribution of inter-group differences.Although the influencing factors show nonlinear characteristics,on the whole,economic level and human capital exhibit positive effects,while relief degree,urbanization,industrialization,and opening degree exhibit negative effects.Farmland resources and investment intensity exhibit the characteristics of positive effect and negative effect equilibrium.At the regional scale,influencing factors exhibit significant spatio-temporal heterogeneity.In the future,to achieve comprehensive rural revitalization,it is vital to implement systemic policy measures,such as enhancing industrial competitiveness,supplementing rural talents,and optimizing the relations between urban and rural areas as well as between industry and agriculture.

文摘Integrating a heterogeneous structure can significantly enhance the strength-ductility synergy of composites.However,the relationship between hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strain hardening and dislocation activity caused by heterogeneous structures in the magnesium matrix composite remains unclear.In this study,a dual-heterogeneous TiC/AZ61 composite exhibits significantly improved plastic elongation(PEL)by nearly one time compared to uniform FG composite,meanwhile maintaining a high strength(UTS:417 MPa).This is because more severe deformation inhomogeneity in heterogeneous structure leads to more geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)accumulation and stronger HDI stress,resulting in higher HDI hardening compared to FG and CG composites.During the early stage of plastic deformation,the pile-up types of GND in the FG zone and CG zone are significantly different.GNDs tend to form substructures in the FG zone instead of the CG zone.They only accumulate at grain boundaries of the CG region,thereby leading to obviously increased back stress in the CG region.In the late deformation stage,the elevated HDI stress activates the new〈c+a〉dislocations in the CG region,resulting in dislocation entanglements and even the formation of substructures,further driving the high hardening in the heterogeneous composite.However,For CG composite,〈c+a〉dislocations are not activated even under large plastic strains,and only〈a〉dislocations pile up at grain boundaries and twin boundaries.Our work provides an in-depth understanding of dislocation variation and HDI hardening in heterogeneous magnesium-based composites.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.

文摘It is difficult to generate coherent twin boundaries in bulk Al alloys due to their high intrinsic stacking fault energy. Here, we report a strategy to induce high-density growth twins in aluminum alloys through the heterogeneous nucleation of twinned Al grains on twin-structured TiC nucleants and the preferred growth of twinned dendrites by laser surface remelting of bulk metals. The solidification structure at the surface shows a mixture of lamellar twinned dendrites with ultra-fine twin boundary spacing (∼2 µm), isolated twinned dendrites, and regular dendrites. EBSD analysis and finite element method (FEM) simulations have been used to understand the competitive growth between twinned and regular dendrites, and the solidification conditions for the preferred growth of twinned dendrites during laser remelting and subsequent rapid solidification are established. It is shown that the reduction in the ratio of temperature gradient G to solidification rate V promotes the formation of lamellar twinned dendrites. The primary trunk spacing of lamellar twinned dendrites is refined by the high thermal gradient and solidification rate. The present work paves a new way to generate high-density growth twins in additive-manufactured Al alloys.

文摘The effects of micro-ridge-furrow planting(MR)on yield and the efficiency of light,water,and thermal resource use in rapeseed were tested in a three-year field experiment comparing MR to conventional flat planting.MR enhanced canopy heterogeneity by altering the leaf angle between plants on ridges and furrows.The heterogeneous canopy environment increased intercepted photosynthetic active radiation,alleviated canopy temperature stress,and optimized canopy humidity,leading to improvements in light-nitrogen matching and net photosynthetic rate.Consequently,dry matter and yield increased by 13.0%and 11.0%,respectively,while radiation,thermal,and precipitation utilization efficiency increased by 12.3%-16.2%.The corresponding improvements in yield and resource use efficiency were attributed to a heterogeneous canopy environment that improved microclimatic conditions.

文摘Traditionally reduced graphene oxide(RGO)-based electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials have poor absorption effectiveness due to impedance mismatch caused by skin effect.The introduction of structural defects and the design of heterogeneous interfaces play a crucial role in enhancing the polarization effect of EMW absorbers.In this study,nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/zinc ferrite@nitrogen-doped carbon(NRGO/ZnFe_(2)O_(4)@NC)ternary composite with rich heterogeneous interfaces is constructed by combining solvothermal reaction,in-situ polymerization,annealing treatment with subsequent hydrothermal reaction.The research results have shown that the obtained NRGO/ZnFe_(2)O_(4)@NC ternary composite exhibits a unique core-shell structure and excellent EMW absorption performance.At a thickness of 2.61 mm,the maximum effective absorption bandwidth can reach 7.2 GHz,spanning the entire Ku-band and a portion of the X-band,and the minimum reflection loss is-61.1 dB,which is superior to most reported RGO-based EMW absorbers.The excellent EMW absorbing ability is mainly ascribed to the optimized impedance matching and the enhanced polarization loss caused by the abundant heterogeneous interfaces and structural defects derived from heteroatomic nitrogen doping.Furthermore,the radar cross section in the far field is simulated by a computer simulation technique.This study provides a novel way to prepare core-shell magnetic carbon composites as highly efficient and broadband EMW absorbers.

文摘In scenarios such as vehicle radiation monitoring and unmanned aerial vehicle radiation detection,rapid measurements using a NaI(Tl)detector often result in low photon counts,weak characteristic peaks,and significant statistical fluctuations.These issues can lead to potential failures in peak-searching-based identification methods.To address the low precision associated with short-duration measurements of radionuclides,this paper proposes an identification algorithm that leverages heterogeneous spectral transfer to develop a low-count energy spectral identification model.Comparative experiments demonstrated that transferring samples from 26 classes of simulated heterogeneous gamma spectra aids in creating a reliable model for measured gamma spectra.With only 10%of target domain samples used for training,the accuracy on real low-count spectral samples was 95.56%.This performance shows a significant improvement over widely employed full-spectrum analysis methods trained on target domain samples.The proposed method also exhibits strong generalization capabilities,effectively mitigating overfitting issues in low-count energy spectral classification under short-duration measurements.

文摘A multi-phase heterogeneous FeCoNi-based high-entropy alloy is developed to overcome the trade-off between strength and ductility.By alloying with a small amount of Cu and employing a rapid recrystalliza-tion process,it exhibits a good combination of yield strength(roughly 1300 MPa)and ductility(approach-ing 20%).Firstly,a multi-phase heterogeneous structure is tailored ranging from nano to micron.Cu is efficiently precipitated as nanoscale clusters(4.2 nm),high-density cuboidal L1_(2) particles(20-40 nm)and L2_(1) particles(500-800 nm)are found to be embedded in the matrix and a bimodal heterogeneous grain structure(1-40μm)is constructed.Secondly,the introduction of Cu effectively suppresses the pre-cipitation of coarse L21 phase at grain boundaries,reducing its volume fraction by 80%and replaced by smaller-scale continuous precipitations within the grains.Thirdly,the high mixing enthalpy gap of Cu and the matrix leads to the formation of local chemical fluctuation and the consequential rugged topog-raphy in the matrix,which result in retarded dislocation motion and promotes dislocation plugging and interlocking during strain,enhancing yield stress and work hardening rate.This study provides a valuable perspective to enhance strength and ductility via enlarged local chemical fluctuation-tailored multi-phase heterogeneous structures.
