engineering scenarios in high-altitude regions,many pier surface cracks only appear several months after erection,and cyclic thermal stress is identified as the main trigger for such cracking.The thermal stress in concrete structures has been investigated for decades but remains incompletely understood.Structural engineers typically regard concrete as an isotropic material and calculate the thermal stress using code-specified coefficients of thermal expansion(CTEs)along with temperature conditions and constraints.Because the CTE of hardened cement paste is more than twice that of many aggregates,reducing the CTE of coarse aggregates can further exacerbate the thermal deformation incompatibility between the coarse aggregate and mortar matrix.In this paper,a comprehensive thermal-elastic mechanics model for pier concrete was developed to analysis the temperature-induced surface stress.Methods A series of mechanical and thermophysical tests were conducted on the diorite aggregate,ITZ cement paste,and mortar,and concrete.A test pier was constructed on open ground near the Yarlung Zangbo River at an altitude of 3800 m.The pier had a diameter of 1.8 m and height of 2 m.Temperature sensors were embedded in the cross-section at a height of 1 m,positioned along the southnorth and east-west directions.The embedding depths(distances from the pier surface)were 0,1.5,3,4.5,6,7.5,9,12,15,20,25,30,35,40,50,60,70,80 cm,and 90 cm.A model of the bridge pier concrete for surface-level analysis was constructed.The model consists of a concrete unit formed as a sphere-shell-shell composite,including the aggregate,ITZ,and mortar layers,embedded in the surface layer of a bridge pier.Outside this unit,the pier concrete was treated as an isotropic,homogeneous elastic material.The real-time internal temperature fields of high-altitude concrete bridge piers,measured on-site,were incorporated into the model.By applying thermoelastic mechanics theory and finite element solutions for plane strain problems,the three-dimensional thermal stresses on the surface layer of high-altitude bridge piers were analyzed Results and discussion During the experimental period,the lowest and highest temperatures on the bridge pier in the high-altitude region were 9.6 ℃ and 42.6 ℃,respectively.These occurred before sunrise and sunset on sunny days,respectively,corresponding to the local maximum temperature gradients during the surface heating and cooling stages,as well as the maximum temperature difference between the surface and center during these stages.The thermal stress on the pier concrete surface was obtained by superimposing the stresses caused by the uneven distribution of the internal temperature field and those caused by the incompatible thermal deformation among the different components in the surface concrete Before the erection of the upper structures,the absolute values of the tangential and vertical stresses were the same;therefore,only one curve was observed.From 22:00 to 8:00,the pier concrete surface was in tension,whereas from 11:00 to 22:00,the pier concrete surface was in compression.The surface of the pier concrete was subjected to biaxial forces of equal magnitude with a maximum compressive stress of 12.52 MPa and maximum tensile stress of 2.15 MPa,respectively at 18:00 and 8:00.According to the fatigue equation,the concrete was predicted to crack after 21 d of temperature cycling.Moreover,if humidity-induced stress is added on top of this,the tensile stress may approach or even exceed the concrete's tensile strength,thereby posing a significant risk of cracking.After the erection of upper structures,the tangential and vertical stresses no longer coincide because the upper structures have been erected.The curve of the tangential stress is unchanged,whereas the curve of the vertical stress is translated downwards by 1.57 MPa due to the structural deadweight.Therefore,the maximum tangential compressive stress remained 12.52 MPa,whereas the maximum vertical compressive stress increased to 14.09 MPa.Additionally,the maximum tangential tensile stress was 2.15 MPa,and the maximum vertical tensile stress was 0.58 MPa.According to Appendix C of GB/T 50010 and the fatigue equation,stresses are unlikely to cause cracking of the pier concrete surface.Although a higher CTE of the coarse aggregate slightly increased the maximum compressive stress,the differences among the three groups of concrete were minimal and could be ignored.Specifically,the maximum compressive stresses on the pier concrete surface were 12.54,12.45 MPa,and 12.56 MPa when using diorite,limestone,and basalt,respectively.By contrast,a lower CTE of the coarse aggregate results in a greater maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface.For example,when using limestone,which has a low CTE,the maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface is 2.28 MPa,compared to 2.17 MPa when using diorite and 2.14 MPa when using basalt.The finite element simulation results indicated that the maximum compressive stress on the pier concrete surface was 11.72 MPa,whereas the maximum tensile stress was 2.10 MPa.These results are approximately consistent with the theoretical calculations.This consistency provides mutual verification.Conclusions Surface cracking in pier concrete occurs predominantly before the erection of upper structures.Under sunny conditions,the orthogonal decomposition of the superficial stress revealed that the maximum compressive stress during the day was approximately 12.52 MPa,whereas the maximum tensile stress was approximately 2.15 MPa.This tensile stress approached the tensile strength of the C35 concrete under biaxial tension.The risk of cracking increased significantly when humidity-induced stress was considered.After the erection of upper structures,the maximum tangential tensile stress on the pier surface remained at 2.15 MPa while the maximum vertical stress decreased to 0.58 MPa,both of which are well below the tensile strength of C35 concrete under biaxial tension.Although the use of coarse aggregates with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion reduced the tensile stress induced by temperature gradients,it increased the stress owing to material deformation incompatibility,leading to a slight increase in the maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface.展开更多

文摘High-temperature thin-film strain sensors are advanced technological devices for monitoring stress and strain in extreme environments,but the coupling of temperature and strain at high temperature is a challenge for their use.Here,this issue is addressed by creating a composite ink that combines Pb_(2)Ru_(2)O_(6) and TiB_(2) using polysilazane(PSZ)as a binder.After direct writing and annealing the PSZ/Pb_(2)Ru_(2)O_(6)/TiB_(2) film at 800℃ in air,the resulting thin film exhibits a low temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR)of only 281 ppm/℃ over a wide temperature range from 100℃ to 700℃,while also demonstrating high sensitivity with a gauge factor approaching 19.8.This exceptional performance is attributed to the intrinsic properties of Pb_(2)Ru_(2)O_(6),which has positive TCR at high temperature,and TiB2,which has negative TCR at high temperature.Combining these materials reduces the overall TCR of the film.Tests showed that the PSZ/Pb_(2)Ru_(2)O_(6)/TiB_(2) film maintains stable strain responses and significant signal output even under varying temperature.These findings provide valuable insights for developing high-temperature strain sensors with low TCR and high sensitivity,highlighting their potential for applications in high-temperature strain measurements.

文摘The electrical properties of high-entropy ceramics(HECs)have been extensively studied in recent years due to their unique structural characteristics and fascinating functional properties induced by entropy engineering.Novel high-entropy(Sm_(0.2)Eu_(0.2)Gd_(0.2)Ho_(0.2)Yb_(0.2))CrO_(3)(HE-RECrO_(3))nanofibers were prepared by electro spinning.This work demonstrates that HE-RECrO_(3)nanofibe rs were successfully synthesized at a low temperature(800℃),which is approximately 400℃lower than the temperatures at which chromate ceramics were synthesized via the sol-gel method and the solid-state reaction method.The resistivity of HE-RECrO_(3)nanofibers decreases exponentially with increasing temperature from 25 to600℃.The logarithm of the resistivity is linearly related to the inverse of the temperature,confirming the negative temperature coefficient property of HE-RECrO_(3)nanofibers.The B_(25/50)value of the HERECrO_(3)nanofibers reaches 4072 K.In conclusion,HE-RECrO_(3)nanofibers are expected to be potential candidates for negative-temperature-coefficient(NTC)thermistors.

文摘The high-temperature magnetic perfo rmance and micro structure of Sm_(1-x)Gd_(x)(Co_(bal)Fe_(0.09)Cu_(0.09)Zr_(0.025))_(7.2)(x=0.3,0.5) magnets were investigated.With the isothermal aging time decreasing from 11 to 3 h,the temperature coefficient of intrinsic coercivity in the temperature range of 25-500℃,β_(25-500℃),was optimized from -0,167%/℃ to-0.112%/℃ for x=0.3 magnets.The noticeable enhancement(~33%) of temperature stability is correlated with the increased content of 1:5H cell boundary phase and its relatively high Curie temperature as well.However,for the x=0.5 magnet,it is found that the presence of Sm_(5)Co_(19) phases and wider nanotwin variants hinder the formation of 1:5H cell boundary phase.The insufficient 1:5H is not beneficial to the proper redistribution of Cu in cell boundary,making the x=0.5 magnet difficult to achieve higher temperature stability.Consequently,the approach of adjusting the isothermal aging process can offer guidance for attaining superior magnetic performance in the temperature range from 25 to 500℃ for Gd-substituted Sm_(2)Co_(17)-type magnets.

文摘The practical application of CaSmAlO_(4)microwave dielectric ceramics is limited by its low quality factor(Q×f)value and non-zero temperature coefficient resonant frequency(τ_(f))value.In this study,we introduced Mg^(2+)-Ti^(4+)ionic pairs into CaSmAlO_(4),along with an excess of 9%Sm_(2)O_(3).The Mg^(2+)-Ti^(4+)ionic pairs substituted Al^(3+),and two phases simultaneously coexisted in the ceramics:CaSmAlO_(4) and Sm_(2)O_(3).As the doping concentration of Mg^(2+)-Ti^(4+)ionic pairs increased,the relative permittivity exhibited an upward trend,while the quality factor and resonant frequency temperature coefficient first rose and then descended.Remarkably,0.09Sm_(2)O_(3)-0.91CaSmAl_(0.7)Mg_(0.15)-Ti_(0.15)O_(4) sintered at 1450℃ yielded excellent dielectric properties:ε_(r)=19.72,Q×f=72,936 GHz,and τ_(f)=-0.044 ppm·℃^(-1).The factors influencing the microwave dielectric properties of 0.09Sm_(2)O_(3)-0.91CaSmAlO_(4)ceramics were further examined by considering the crystal structure,grain size,Lichtenecker logarithmic rule,tolerance factor and packing fraction.

文摘Lead-free Bi_(_(0.5))Na_(_(0.5))TiO_(3)(BNT)piezoelectric ceramics have the advantages of large coercive fields and high Curie temperatures.But the improvement of piezoelectric coefficient(d 33)is usually accompanied by a huge sacrifice of depolarization temperature(T d).In this work,a well-balanced performance of d 33 and T d is achieved in MnO_(2)-doped 0.79(Bi_(_(0.5))Na_(_(0.5))TiO_(3))-0.14(Bi_(0.5)K_(0.5)TiO_(3))-0.07BaTiO_(3)ternary ceramics.The in-corporation of 0.25 mol%MnO_(2)enhances the d 33 by more than 40%,while T d remains almost unchanged(i.e.,d 33=181 pC/N,T d=184℃).X-ray diffraction(XRD)shows that an appropriate fraction of the small axis-ratio ferroelectric phase(pseudo-cubic,P c)coexists with the long-range ferroelectric phase(tetrag-onal,T)under this MnO_(2)doping.Piezoelectric force microscopy(PFM)has revealed a special domain configuration,namely large striped and layered macro domains embedded with small nanodomains.This study provides a distinctive avenue to design BNT-based piezoelectric ceramics with high piezoelectric performance and temperature stability.

文摘Microstructure,texture,and mechanical properties of the extruded Mg-2.49Nd-1.82Gd-0.2Zn-0.2Zr alloy were investigated at different extrusion temperatures(260 and 320℃),extrusion ratios(10:1,15:1,and 30:1),and extrusion speeds(3 and 6 mm/s).The experimental results exhibited that the grain sizes after extrusion were much finer than that of the homogenized alloy,and the second phase showed streamline distribution along the extrusion direction(ED).With extrusion temperature increased from 260 to 320℃,the microstructure,texture,and mechanical properties of alloys changed slightly.The dynamic recrystallization(DRX)degree and grain sizes enhanced as the extrusion ratio increased from 10:1 to 30:1,and the strength gradually decreased but elongation(EL)increased.With the extrusion speed increased from 3 to 6 mm/s,the grain sizes and DRX degree increased significantly,and the samples presented the typical<2111>-<1123>rare-earth(RE)textures.The alloy extruded at 260℃ with extrusion ratio of 10:1 and extrusion speed of 3 mm/s showed the tensile yield strength(TYS)of 213 MPa and EL of 30.6%.After quantitatively analyzing the contribution of strengthening mechanisms,it was found that the grain boundary strengthening and dislocation strengthening played major roles among strengthening contributions.These results provide some guidelines for enlarging the industrial application of extruded Mg-RE alloy.

文摘Using the software ANSYS-19.2/Explicit Dynamics,this study performedfinite-element modeling of the large-diameter steel pipeline cross-section for the Beineu-Bozoy-Shymkent gas pipeline with a non-through straight crack,strengthened by steel wire wrapping.The effects of the thread tensile force of the steel winding in the form of single rings at the crack edges and the wires with different winding diameters and pitches were also studied.The results showed that the strengthening was preferably executed at a minimum value of the thread tensile force,which was 6.4%more effective than that at its maximum value.The analysis of the influence of the winding dia-meters showed that the equivalent stresses increased by 32%from the beginning of the crack growth until the wire broke.The increment in winding diameter decelerated the disclosure of the edge crack and reduced its length by 8.2%.The analysis of the influence of the winding pitch showed that decreasing the distance between the winding turns also led to a 33.6%reduction in the length of the straight crack and a 7.9%reduction in the maximum stres-ses on the strengthened pipeline cross-section.The analysis of the temperature effect on the pipeline material,within a range from-40℃to+50℃,resulted in a crack length change of up to 5.8%.As the temperature dropped,the crack length decreased.Within such a temperature range,the maximum stresses were observed along the cen-tral area of the crack,which were equal to 413 MPa at+50℃and 440 MPa at-40℃.The results also showed that the presence of the steel winding in the pipeline significantly reduced the length of crack propagation up to 8.4 times,depending on the temperature effect and design parameters of prestressing.This work integrated the existing methods for crack localization along steel gas pipelines.

文摘The medium-temperature T dependence of the jet transport coefficient̂q was studied via the nuclear modification factor RAA(p_(T))and elliptical flow parameter v_(2)(p_(T))for large transverse momentum p_(T) hadrons in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.Within a next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD parton model for hard scatterings with modified fragmentation functions due to jet quenching controlled by q,we check the suppression and azimuthal anisotropy for large p_(T) hadrons,and extract q by global fits to RAA(pT)and v_(2)(pT)data in A+A collisions at RHIC and LHC,respectively.The numerical results from the best fits show that q∕T^(3) goes down with local medium-temperature T in the parton jet trajectory.Compared with the case of a constant q∕T^(3),the going-down T dependence of q∕T^(3) makes a hard parton jet to lose more energy near T_(c) and therefore strengthens the azimuthal anisotropy for large pT hadrons.As a result,v_(2)(p_(T))for large pT hadrons was enhanced by approximately 10%to better fit the data at RHIC/LHC.Considering the first-order phase transition from QGP to the hadron phase and the additional energy loss in the hadron phase,v_(2)(p_(T))is again enhanced by 5-10%at RHIC/LHC.

文摘Developing alloys with exceptional strength-ductility combinations across a broad temperature range is crucial for advanced structural applications.The emerging face-centered cubic medium-entropy alloys(MEAs)demonstrate outstanding mechanical properties at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures.They are anticipated to extend their applicability to elevated temperatures,owing to their inherent advantages in leveraging multiple strengthening and deformation mechanisms.Here,a dual heterostructure,comprising of heterogeneous grain structure with heterogeneous distribution of the micro-scale Nb-rich Laves phases,is introduced in a CrCoNi-based MEA through thermo-mechanical processing.Additionally,a high-density nano-coherentγ’phase is introduced within the grains through isothermal aging treatments.The superior thermal stability of the heterogeneously distributed precipitates enables the dual heterostructure to persist at temperatures up to 1073 K,allowing the MEA to maintain excellent mechanical properties across a wide temperature range.The yield strength of the dual-heterogeneous-structured MEA reaches up to 1.2 GPa,1.1 GPa,0.8 GPa,and 0.6 GPa,coupled with total elongation values of 28.6%,28.4%,12.6%,and 6.1%at 93 K,298 K,873 K,and 1073 K,respectively.The high yield strength primar-ily stems from precipitation strengthening and hetero-deformation-induced strengthening.The high flow stress and low stacking fault energy of the dual-heterogeneous-structured MEA promote the formation of high-density stacking faults and nanotwins during deformation from 93 K to 1073 K,and their density increase with decreasing deformation temperature.This greatly contributes to the enhanced strainhardening capability and ductility across a wide temperature range.This study offers a practical solution for designing dual-heterogeneous-structured MEAs with both high yield strength and large ductility across a wide temperature range.
文摘Introduction The predominant characteristics of high-altitude climates include low air pressure,low humidity,and large diurnal temperature fluctuations.In practical engineering scenarios in high-altitude regions,many pier surface cracks only appear several months after erection,and cyclic thermal stress is identified as the main trigger for such cracking.The thermal stress in concrete structures has been investigated for decades but remains incompletely understood.Structural engineers typically regard concrete as an isotropic material and calculate the thermal stress using code-specified coefficients of thermal expansion(CTEs)along with temperature conditions and constraints.Because the CTE of hardened cement paste is more than twice that of many aggregates,reducing the CTE of coarse aggregates can further exacerbate the thermal deformation incompatibility between the coarse aggregate and mortar matrix.In this paper,a comprehensive thermal-elastic mechanics model for pier concrete was developed to analysis the temperature-induced surface stress.Methods A series of mechanical and thermophysical tests were conducted on the diorite aggregate,ITZ cement paste,and mortar,and concrete.A test pier was constructed on open ground near the Yarlung Zangbo River at an altitude of 3800 m.The pier had a diameter of 1.8 m and height of 2 m.Temperature sensors were embedded in the cross-section at a height of 1 m,positioned along the southnorth and east-west directions.The embedding depths(distances from the pier surface)were 0,1.5,3,4.5,6,7.5,9,12,15,20,25,30,35,40,50,60,70,80 cm,and 90 cm.A model of the bridge pier concrete for surface-level analysis was constructed.The model consists of a concrete unit formed as a sphere-shell-shell composite,including the aggregate,ITZ,and mortar layers,embedded in the surface layer of a bridge pier.Outside this unit,the pier concrete was treated as an isotropic,homogeneous elastic material.The real-time internal temperature fields of high-altitude concrete bridge piers,measured on-site,were incorporated into the model.By applying thermoelastic mechanics theory and finite element solutions for plane strain problems,the three-dimensional thermal stresses on the surface layer of high-altitude bridge piers were analyzed Results and discussion During the experimental period,the lowest and highest temperatures on the bridge pier in the high-altitude region were 9.6 ℃ and 42.6 ℃,respectively.These occurred before sunrise and sunset on sunny days,respectively,corresponding to the local maximum temperature gradients during the surface heating and cooling stages,as well as the maximum temperature difference between the surface and center during these stages.The thermal stress on the pier concrete surface was obtained by superimposing the stresses caused by the uneven distribution of the internal temperature field and those caused by the incompatible thermal deformation among the different components in the surface concrete Before the erection of the upper structures,the absolute values of the tangential and vertical stresses were the same;therefore,only one curve was observed.From 22:00 to 8:00,the pier concrete surface was in tension,whereas from 11:00 to 22:00,the pier concrete surface was in compression.The surface of the pier concrete was subjected to biaxial forces of equal magnitude with a maximum compressive stress of 12.52 MPa and maximum tensile stress of 2.15 MPa,respectively at 18:00 and 8:00.According to the fatigue equation,the concrete was predicted to crack after 21 d of temperature cycling.Moreover,if humidity-induced stress is added on top of this,the tensile stress may approach or even exceed the concrete's tensile strength,thereby posing a significant risk of cracking.After the erection of upper structures,the tangential and vertical stresses no longer coincide because the upper structures have been erected.The curve of the tangential stress is unchanged,whereas the curve of the vertical stress is translated downwards by 1.57 MPa due to the structural deadweight.Therefore,the maximum tangential compressive stress remained 12.52 MPa,whereas the maximum vertical compressive stress increased to 14.09 MPa.Additionally,the maximum tangential tensile stress was 2.15 MPa,and the maximum vertical tensile stress was 0.58 MPa.According to Appendix C of GB/T 50010 and the fatigue equation,stresses are unlikely to cause cracking of the pier concrete surface.Although a higher CTE of the coarse aggregate slightly increased the maximum compressive stress,the differences among the three groups of concrete were minimal and could be ignored.Specifically,the maximum compressive stresses on the pier concrete surface were 12.54,12.45 MPa,and 12.56 MPa when using diorite,limestone,and basalt,respectively.By contrast,a lower CTE of the coarse aggregate results in a greater maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface.For example,when using limestone,which has a low CTE,the maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface is 2.28 MPa,compared to 2.17 MPa when using diorite and 2.14 MPa when using basalt.The finite element simulation results indicated that the maximum compressive stress on the pier concrete surface was 11.72 MPa,whereas the maximum tensile stress was 2.10 MPa.These results are approximately consistent with the theoretical calculations.This consistency provides mutual verification.Conclusions Surface cracking in pier concrete occurs predominantly before the erection of upper structures.Under sunny conditions,the orthogonal decomposition of the superficial stress revealed that the maximum compressive stress during the day was approximately 12.52 MPa,whereas the maximum tensile stress was approximately 2.15 MPa.This tensile stress approached the tensile strength of the C35 concrete under biaxial tension.The risk of cracking increased significantly when humidity-induced stress was considered.After the erection of upper structures,the maximum tangential tensile stress on the pier surface remained at 2.15 MPa while the maximum vertical stress decreased to 0.58 MPa,both of which are well below the tensile strength of C35 concrete under biaxial tension.Although the use of coarse aggregates with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion reduced the tensile stress induced by temperature gradients,it increased the stress owing to material deformation incompatibility,leading to a slight increase in the maximum tensile stress on the pier concrete surface.

文摘Two anaerobic ammonia oxidation(anammox)systems,one with adding nano-scale zerovalent iron modified biochar(nZVI@BC)and the other with adding biochar,were constructed to explore the feasibility of nZVI@BC for enhancing the resistance of low-nitrogen anammox processes to low temperatures.The results showed that the average nitrogen removal efficiency with nZVI@BC addition at lowtemperatureswas maintained at about 80%,while that with biochar addition gradually decreased to 69.49%.The heme-c content of biomass with nZVI@BC was significantly higher by 36.60%-91.45%.Additional,nZVI@BC addition resulted in more extracellular polymeric substances,better biomass granulation,and a higher abundance of anammox bacteria.In particularly,anammox genes hzsA/B/C,hzo and hdh played a pivotal role in maintaining nitrogen removal performance at 15℃.These findings suggest that nZVI@BC has the potential to enhance the resistance of low-nitrogen anammox processes to low temperatures,making it a valuable approach for practical applications in low-nitrogen and low-temperature wastewater treatment.

文摘High-temperature microwave absorbing materials(MAMs)and structures are increasingly appealing due to their critical role in stealth applications under harsh environments.However,the impedance mismatch caused by increased conduction loss often leads to a significant decline in electromagnetic wave absorp-tion(EMWA)performance at elevated temperatures,which severely restricts their practical application.In this study,we propose a novel approach for efficient electromagnetic wave absorption across a wide temperature range using reduced graphene oxide(RGO)/epoxy resin(EP)metacomposites that integrate both electromagnetic parameters and metamaterial design concepts.Due to the discrete distribution of the units,electromagnetic waves can more easily penetrate the interior of materials,thereby exhibiting stable microwave absorption(MA)performance and impedance-matching characteristics suitable across a wide temperature range.Consequently,exceptional MA properties can be achieved within the tem-perature range from 298 to 473 K.Furthermore,by carefully controlling the structural parameters in RGO metacomposites,both the resonant frequency and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)can be optimized based on precise manipulation of equivalent electromagnetic parameters.This study not only provides an effective approach for the rational design of MA performance but also offers novel insights into achieving super metamaterials with outstanding performance across a wide temperature spectrum.

文摘The morphological distribution of absorbent in composites is equally important with absorbents for the overall electromagnetic properties,but it is often ignored.Herein,a comprehensive consideration including electromagnetic component regulation,layered arrangement structure,and gradient concentration distribution was used to optimize impedance matching and enhance electromagnetic loss.On the microscale,the incorporation of magnetic Ni nanoparticles into MXene nanosheets(Ni@MXene)endows suitable intrinsic permittivity and permeability.On the macroscale,the layered arrangement of Ni@MXene increases the effective interaction area with electromagnetic waves,inducing multiple reflection/scattering effects.On this basis,according to the analysis of absorption,reflection,and transmission(A-R-T)power coefficients of layered composites,the gradient concentration distribution was constructed to realize the impedance matching at low-concentration surface layer,electromagnetic loss at middle concentration interlayer and microwave reflection at high-concentration bottom layer.Consequently,the layered gradient composite(LG5-10-15)achieves complete absorption coverage of X-band at thickness of 2.00-2.20 mm with RL_(min) of-68.67 dB at 9.85 GHz in 2.05 mm,which is 199.0%,12.6%,and 50.6%higher than non-layered,layered and layered descending gradient composites,respectively.Therefore,this work confirms the importance of layered gradient structure in improving absorption performance and broadens the design of high-performance microwave absorption materials.

文摘As the first gold mine discovered at the sea in China and the only coastal gold mine currently mined there,Sanshandao Gold Mine faces unique challenges.The mine's safety is under continual threat from its faulted structure coupled with the overlying water.As the mining proceeds deeper,the risk of water inrush increases.The mine's maximum water yield reaches 15000 m3/day,which is attributable to water channels present in fault zones.Predominantly composed of soil–rock mixtures(SRM),these fault zones'seepage characteristics significantly impact water inrush risk.Consequently,investigating the seepage characteristics of SRM is of paramount importance.However,the existing literature mostly concentrates on a single stress state.Therefore,this study examined the characteristics of the permeability coefficient under three distinct stress states:osmotic,osmotic–uniaxial,and osmotic–triaxial pressure.The SRM samples utilized in this study were extracted from in situ fault zones and then reshaped in the laboratory.In addition,the micromechanical properties of the SRM samples were analyzed using computed tomography scanning.The findings reveal that the permeability coefficient is the highest under osmotic pressure and lowest under osmotic–triaxial pressure.The sensitivity coefficient shows a higher value when the rock block percentage ranges between 30%and 40%,but it falls below 1.0 when this percentage exceeds 50%under no confining pressure.Notably,rock block percentages of 40%and 60%represent the two peak points of the sensitivity coefficient under osmotic–triaxial pressure.However,SRM samples with a 40%rock block percentage consistently show the lowest permeability coefficient under all stress states.This study establishes that a power function can model the relationship between the permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure,while its relationship with axial pressure can be described using an exponential function.These insights are invaluable for developing water inrush prevention and control strategies in mining environments.

文摘In the applications such as food production,the environmental temperature should be measured continuously dur-ing the entire process,which requires an ultra-low-power temperature sensor for long-termly monitoring.Conventional tempera-ture sensors trade the measurement accuracy with power consumption.In this work,we present a battery-free wireless tempera-ture sensing chip for long-termly monitoring during food production.A calibrated oscillator-based CMOS temperature sensor is proposed instead of the ADC-based power-hungry circuits in conventional works.In addition,the sensor chip can harvest the power transferred by a remote reader to eliminate the use of battery.Meanwhile,the system conducts wireless bidirectional communication between the sensor chip and reader.In this way,the temperature sensor can realize both a high precision and battery-free operation.The temperature sensing chip is fabricated in 55 nm CMOS process,and the reader chip is imple-mented in 65 nm CMOS technology.Experimental results show that the temperature measurement error achieves±1.6℃ from 25 to 50℃,with battery-free readout by a remote reader.

文摘Low temperature(LT)in spring has become one of the principal abiotic stresses that restrict the growth and development of wheat.Diverse analyses were performed to investigate the mechanism underlying the response of wheat grain development to LT stress during booting.These included morphological observation,measurements of starch synthase activity,and determination of amylose and amylopectin content of wheat grain after exposure to treatment with LT during booting.Additionally,proteomic analysis was performed using tandem mass tags(TMT).Results showed that the plumpness of wheat grains decreased after LT stress.Moreover,the activities of sucrose synthase(SuS,EC 2.4.1.13)and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase(AGPase,EC 2.7.7.27)exhibited a significant reduction,leading to a significant reduction in the contents of amylose and amylopectin.A total of 509 differentially expressed proteins(DEPs)were identified by proteomics analysis.The Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis showed that the protein difference multiple in the nutritional repository activity was the largest among the molecular functions,and the up-regulated seed storage protein(ssP)played an active role in the response of grains to LT stress and subsequent damage.The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis showed that LT stress reduced the expression of DEPs such as sucrose phosphate synthase(SPS),glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase(glgC),andβ-fructofuranosidase(FFase)in sucrose and starch metabolic pathways,thus affecting the synthesis of grain starch.In addition,many heat shock proteins(HsPs)were found in the protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum pathways,which can resist some damage caused by LT stress.These findings provide a new theoretical foundation for elucidating the underlying mechanism governing wheat yield developmentafterexposuretoLTstress inspring.

文摘BACKGROUND At present,the conventional methods for diagnosing cerebral edema in clinical practice are computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),which can evaluate the location and degree of peripheral cerebral edema,but cannot realize quantification.When patients have symptoms of diffuse cerebral edema or high cranial pressure,CT or MRI often suggests that cerebral edema is lagging and cannot be dynamically monitored in real time.Intracranial pressure monitoring is the gold standard,but it is an invasive operation with high cost and complications.For clinical purposes,the ideal cerebral edema monitoring should be non-invasive,real-time,bedside,and continuous dynamic monitoring.The dis-turbance coefficient(DC)was used in this study to dynamically monitor the occu-rrence,development,and evolution of cerebral edema in patients with cerebral hemorrhage in real time,and review head CT or MRI to evaluate the development of the disease and guide further treatment,so as to improve the prognosis of patients with cerebral hemorrhage.AIM To offer a promising new approach for non-invasive adjuvant therapy in cerebral edema treatment.METHODS A total of 160 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University from September 2018 to September 2019 were recruited.The patients were randomly divided into a control group(n=80)and an experimental group(n=80).Patients in the control group received conventional empirical treatment,while those in the experimental group were treated with mannitol dehydration under the guidance of DC.Subsequently,we compared the two groups with regards to the total dosage of mannitol,the total course of treatment,the incidence of complications,and prognosis.RESULTS The mean daily consumption of mannitol,the total course of treatment,and the mean hospitalization days were 362.7±117.7 mL,14.8±5.2 days,and 29.4±7.9 in the control group and 283.1±93.6 mL,11.8±4.2 days,and 23.9±8.3 in the experimental group(P<0.05).In the control group,there were 20 patients with pulmonary infection(25%),30 with electrolyte disturbance(37.5%),20 with renal impairment(25%),and 16 with stress ulcer(20%).In the experimental group,pulmonary infection occurred in 18 patients(22.5%),electrolyte disturbance in 6(7.5%),renal impairment in 2(2.5%),and stress ulcers in 15(18.8%)(P<0.05).According to the Glasgow coma scale score 6 months after discharge,the prognosis of the control group was good in 20 patients(25%),fair in 26(32.5%),and poor in 34(42.5%);the prognosis of the experimental group was good in 32(40%),fair in 36(45%),and poor in 12(15%)(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Using DC for non-invasive dynamic monitoring of cerebral edema demonstrates considerable clinical potential.It reduces mannitol dosage,treatment duration,complication rates,and hospital stays,ultimately lowering hospital-ization costs.Additionally,it improves overall patient prognosis,offering a promising new approach for non-invasive adjuvant therapy in cerebral edema treatment.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)face significant limitations in low-temperature environments,with the slow interfacial de-solvation process and the hindered Li+transport through the interphase layer emerging as key obstacles beyond the issue of ionic conductivity.This investigation unveils a novel formulation that constructs an anion-rich solvation sheath within strong solvents,effectively addressing all three of these challenges to bolster low-temperature performance.The developed electrolyte,characterized by an enhanced concentration of contact ion pairs(CIPs)and aggregates(AGGs),facilitates the formation of an inorganic-rich interphase layer on the anode and cathode particles.This promotes de-solvation at low temperatures and stabilizes the electrode-electrolyte interphase.Full cells composed of LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)(NCM622)and graphite,when equipped with this electrolyte,showcase remarkable cycle stability and capacity retention,with 93.3% retention after 500 cycles at room temperature(RT)and 95.5%after 120 cycles at -20℃.This study validates the utility of the anion-rich solvation sheath in strong solvents as a strategy for the development of low-temperature electrolytes.
