Despite this growing scientific interest, essential questions such as to what extent a Taiji course may exert noticeable effects in participants' everyday life, what these effects are, and how and where potential transfer effects occur, have hardly been considered. The aim of our study was to explore transfer effects from a Taiji course into participants' daily lives. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal observational study in 45 healthy participants at the end of their three-month Taiji beginner course (tpl) and at two months (tp2) as well as one year after course completion (tp3). Participants were asked to report their Taiji practice behavior at all time points, as well as to rate and describe perceived transfer effects of Taiji course contents on their daily life at tpl and tp3. RESULTS: Transfer effects were reported by 91.1% of all respondents after course completion (tpl) and persisted in 73.3% at the one-year follow-up assessment (tp3), counting "increase of self-efficacy", "improvement of stress management", and "increase of body awareness" as the most frequently mentioned effects. Transfer effects predominantly occurred in participants' work and social environments, as well as during everyday activities in public areas. While self- reliant Taiji practice frequency significantly decreased from 82.2% at tpl to 55.6% at tp3 (P 〈 0.001), the magnitude of self-reported transfer effects did not (P = 0.35). As explorative analyses revealed, regular Taiji course attendance was highly correlated with stronger transfer effects at tpl (r = 0.51; P 〈 0.001) and tp3 (r = 0.35; P = 0.020). Participants reporting high self-reliant Taiji practice frequency at tp2 were likely to maintain a regular practice routine at tp3 (r = 0.42; P 〈 0.004), whereas self-reliant practice frequency and transfer effects at tpl were positively correlated with self-reliant practice frequency at tp3 on a trend level (r 〈 0.27; P 〉 0.08). CONCLUSION: Our data underline the importance of regular course participation for pronounced and long lasting transfer effects into participants' everyday life. We discuss that several context and process-related aspects of a Taiji intervention are potentially relevant factors for enhancement of transfer effect.展开更多

Herein, we synthesized a novel DAC material by loading TEPA onto defect-rich Mg_(0.55)Al-O MMOs with enhanced charge transfer effect. The optimal Mg_(0.55)Al-O-TEPA67% demonstrates the highest CO_(2)uptake of(3.0 mmol g^(-1)) and excellent regenerability, maintaining ~90% of the initial adsorption amount after 80 adsorption/desorption cycles. The in situ DRIFTS experiments suggested the formation of bicarbonate species under wet conditions. DFT calculations indicated that the stronger bonding between Mg_(0.55)Al-O support and solid amine was caused by the abundance of oxygen defects on MMOs confirmed by XPS and ESR, which favors the charge transfer between the support and amine,resulting in intense interaction and excellent regenerability. This work for the first time conducted comprehensive and systematic investigation on the stabilization mechanism for MMOs supported solid amine adsorbents with highest uptake and superior cyclic stability in depth, which is different from the most popular SiO_(2)-support, thus providing facile strategy and comprehensive theoretical mechanism support for future research about DAC materials.展开更多

The effectiveness of linear energy transfer (LET) with a tilted ion beam at the 130?nm technology node is obtained. Tests of tilted angles θ=0 ° , 30 ° and 60 ° with respect to the normal direction are performed under heavy-ion Kr with certain power whose LET is about 40?MeVcm 2 /mg at normal incidence. Error numbers in D flip-flop chains are used to determine their upset sensitivity at different incidence angles. It is indicated that the effective LETs for SOI and bulk Si are not exactly in inverse proportion to cosθ , furthermore the effective LET for SOI is more closely in inverse proportion to cosθ compared to bulk Si, which are also the well known behavior. It is interesting that, if we design the sample in the dual interlocked storage cell approach, the effective LET in bulk Si will look like inversely proportional to cosθ very well, which is also specifically explained.展开更多

It is theoretically proved that the delay effect consists of both fiber delay and servo delay. The delay effect confines the servo bandwidth within 1/8 and induces a residual fiber phase noise after noise compensation. For a 25-km-long fiber, the servo bandwidth is found to be around 1 k Hz, and the fiber phase noise is suppressed approaching to the theoretical limitation. The triple-pass scheme enables the simultaneous transfer of optical frequency to multiple remote users. The performance of noise compensator in the triple-pass scheme can achieve a similar level result compared with that in the double-pass scheme.展开更多

In this study, the shielding effectiveness of a two-coil MR-WPT system for different material shields is analyzed in theory using Moser's formula and Schelkunoff's formula. On this basis a candidate magnetic-shielding scheme with a double-layer structure is determined, which has better shielding effectiveness and coils coupling coefficient. Finally, some finite element simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, and the shielding effectiveness with the double-layer shield in maximum is 30?dB larger than the one with the single-layer case.展开更多

The animals were injected with both irradiated allosplenocytes and syngeneic LAK cells. Metastatic lung nodules were markedly reduced using combined therapy when compared with the transfer of LAK cells or alloimmuni-zation alone. IL-2 activity in the serum of alloim-munized rats could be detected. This activity, maintained in vivo for one week, may be responsible for enhancing the antitumor effect of transferred LAK cells.展开更多

Junction temperature and thermal resistance are the critical parameters that determine the thermal management and reliability in electronics cooling. Metal oxide field effect transistor(MOSFET)is an important semiconductor device for light emitting diode-integrated circuit(LED IC) driver application, and thermal management in MOSFET is a major challenge. In this study, investigations on thermal performance of MOSFET are performed for evaluating the junction temperature and thermal resistance. Suitable modifications in FR4 substrates are proposed by introducing thermal vias and copper layer coating to improve the thermal performance of MOSFET. Experiments are conducted using thermal transient tester(T3ster) at 2.0 A input current and ambient temperature varying from25℃ to 75℃. The thermal parameters are measured for three proposed designs: FR4 with circular thermal vias, FR4 with single strip of copper layer and embedded vias, and FR4 with I-shaped copper layer, and compared with that of plain FR4 substrate. From the experimental results, FR4I-shaped shows promising results by 33.71% reduction in junction temperature and 54.19% reduction in thermal resistance. For elevated temperature, the relative increases in junction temperature and thermal resistance are lower for FR4I-shaped than those for other substrates considered. The introduction of thermal vias and copper layer plays a significant role in thermal performance.展开更多

The boundary conditions and the initial values are determined by in situ observations and numerical iterations.The simulation results indicate that the ultimate calculated steady heat transfer time is 68 years, and most of the heat transfer is completed in 20 years.The initial constant temperature soil surrounding the tunnels is transformed to an annually variable one.An obvious temperature-varying region of the surrounding soil is discovered within 5 m from the tunnel exterior, as well as within the entire range of soil between the two tunnels.The maximum temperature increase value reaches 7.14 ℃ and the maximum peak-to-valley value of annual temperature increase reaches 10 ℃.The temperature variation of soils surrounding tunnels below 10 m is completely controlled by the heat transfer from the tunnels.The coupled heat transfer effect is confirmed because the ultimate steady temperature of soil between the two tunnels is higher than the ones along other positions.Moreover, the regression model comprising a series of univariate functions is proposed for the annual soil temperature fluctuation estimation for the locations varied distances around the tunnel.This investigation is beneficial to gain an insight into the long-term variation tendencies of local engineering geological conditions of the river beach above shallow sections of the cross-river road tunnels.展开更多

This work for the first time conducted comprehensive and systematic investigation on the stabilization mechanism for MMOs supported solid amine adsorbents with highest uptake and superior cyclic stability in depth, which is different from the most popular SiO_(2)-support, thus providing facile strategy and comprehensive theoretical mechanism support for future research about DAC materials.

文摘A heavy-ion irradiation experiment is studied in digital storage cells with different design approaches in 130?nm CMOS bulk Si and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies. The effectiveness of linear energy transfer (LET) with a tilted ion beam at the 130?nm technology node is obtained. Tests of tilted angles θ=0 ° , 30 ° and 60 ° with respect to the normal direction are performed under heavy-ion Kr with certain power whose LET is about 40?MeVcm 2 /mg at normal incidence. Error numbers in D flip-flop chains are used to determine their upset sensitivity at different incidence angles. It is indicated that the effective LETs for SOI and bulk Si are not exactly in inverse proportion to cosθ , furthermore the effective LET for SOI is more closely in inverse proportion to cosθ compared to bulk Si, which are also the well known behavior. It is interesting that, if we design the sample in the dual interlocked storage cell approach, the effective LET in bulk Si will look like inversely proportional to cosθ very well, which is also specifically explained.
文摘The kinetics of ion exchange between Ca2+, Mg2+, Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ),Ni(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅲ), y3+ or Sm3+ , respectively, in 0.50 mol/L HC1 and H+ on macrorecticular sulfonic ion exchange resin and the kinetics of the same reactions (M -H exchange) when Mn(Ⅱ) coexisted in resin phase as accelerating ion were studied. The accelerating effect manifested and its rule are consistent with the accelerating effect theory based on the concept concerned with adsorption electrical double layer which has been suggested in a previous paper published.

文摘We demonstrate a triple-pass scheme for coherent transfer of optical frequency and the delay effect on the fiber phase noise compensation. It is theoretically proved that the delay effect consists of both fiber delay and servo delay. The delay effect confines the servo bandwidth within 1/8 and induces a residual fiber phase noise after noise compensation. For a 25-km-long fiber, the servo bandwidth is found to be around 1 k Hz, and the fiber phase noise is suppressed approaching to the theoretical limitation. The triple-pass scheme enables the simultaneous transfer of optical frequency to multiple remote users. The performance of noise compensator in the triple-pass scheme can achieve a similar level result compared with that in the double-pass scheme.

文摘Magnetic radiation phenomena appear inevitably in the magnetic-resonance wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system, and regarding this problem the magnetic-shielding scheme is applied to improve the electromagnetic performance in engineering. In this study, the shielding effectiveness of a two-coil MR-WPT system for different material shields is analyzed in theory using Moser's formula and Schelkunoff's formula. On this basis a candidate magnetic-shielding scheme with a double-layer structure is determined, which has better shielding effectiveness and coils coupling coefficient. Finally, some finite element simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, and the shielding effectiveness with the double-layer shield in maximum is 30?dB larger than the one with the single-layer case.
文摘Alloimmunization was combined with lympho-kine activated killer (LAK) cells to assess its effect on mammary carcinoma in rats. The animals were injected with both irradiated allosplenocytes and syngeneic LAK cells. Metastatic lung nodules were markedly reduced using combined therapy when compared with the transfer of LAK cells or alloimmuni-zation alone. IL-2 activity in the serum of alloim-munized rats could be detected. This activity, maintained in vivo for one week, may be responsible for enhancing the antitumor effect of transferred LAK cells.

文摘Miniaturization of electronic package leads to high heat density and heat accumulation in electronics device, resulting in short life time and premature failure of the device. Junction temperature and thermal resistance are the critical parameters that determine the thermal management and reliability in electronics cooling. Metal oxide field effect transistor(MOSFET)is an important semiconductor device for light emitting diode-integrated circuit(LED IC) driver application, and thermal management in MOSFET is a major challenge. In this study, investigations on thermal performance of MOSFET are performed for evaluating the junction temperature and thermal resistance. Suitable modifications in FR4 substrates are proposed by introducing thermal vias and copper layer coating to improve the thermal performance of MOSFET. Experiments are conducted using thermal transient tester(T3ster) at 2.0 A input current and ambient temperature varying from25℃ to 75℃. The thermal parameters are measured for three proposed designs: FR4 with circular thermal vias, FR4 with single strip of copper layer and embedded vias, and FR4 with I-shaped copper layer, and compared with that of plain FR4 substrate. From the experimental results, FR4I-shaped shows promising results by 33.71% reduction in junction temperature and 54.19% reduction in thermal resistance. For elevated temperature, the relative increases in junction temperature and thermal resistance are lower for FR4I-shaped than those for other substrates considered. The introduction of thermal vias and copper layer plays a significant role in thermal performance.

文摘The rational design of high-performance catalysts is crucial for advancing energy conversion and storage technologies.Single-atom and nanoparticle synergistic catalysts(SAC-NPs)have garnered significant attention due to their ability to precisely modulate electronic structures and optimize intermediate adsorption energies.SACs exhibit maximized atomic utilization and well-defined active sites;however,their restricted electronic tunability and inherent instability limit their widespread application.Conversely,NPs provide superior charge transfer capabilities and enhanced catalytic stability,effectively complementing SACs.The SAC-NPs leverage atomic-scale electronic interactions to enhance catalytic activity,stability,and reaction kinetics,making it a promising platform for electrocatalysis.Therefore,elucidating the synergistic catalytic mechanisms of SAC-NPs and refining optimization strategies are crucial for advancing the development of high-performance catalysts.This review systematically summarizes the synthesis strategies and structural modulation approaches of SAC-NPs.Furthermore,the synergistic catalytic mechanisms,encompassing electron transfer,tandem catalysis,and bifunctional catalysis,are critically examined from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.Finally,recent advancements in SAC-NPs for key electrocatalytic reactions are reviewed,along with current challenges and future research directions.This work aims to provide comprehensive theoretical and practical guidance for the development of SAC-NPs,facilitating the rational design of next-generation catalysts and advancing renewable energy technologies.
文摘With the growing need for greater cooling capacity in electronic and heat exchange systems,significant attention has been directed toward improving the heat transfer by incorporating nanoparticles into the base fluid.While the use of nanoparticles in spray cooling shows promise for enhancing heat transfer,additional clarification is required.The paper compiles empirical data from existing literature focusing on spray cooling using nanofluids.Its objective is to clarify how nanoparticles impact the efficiency of spray heat transfer and investigate the effects of factors such as spray Weber number,nanoparticle concentration and droplet spread.Gathered data reveal that when compared to water droplets,nanofluid droplets exhibited more extensive surface spreading at low impinging droplet Weber numbers.Data also show that the heat transfer effectiveness of nanofluid sprays at the critical heat flux and film boiling temperature decreases with the increase in the spray Weber number.At the critical heat flux temperature and for intermediate spray Weber numbers,sprays utilizing nanofluids are more effective than sprays utilizing pure water;however,the situation reverses when dealing with exceedingly high Weber numbers.The data indicate that for surfaces heated within the film boiling range,it remains unclear whether sprays containing nanoparticles demonstrate higher heat transfer efficiency compared to sprays using pure water alone.For surfaces heated to the critical heat flux temperature,there is a critical nanoparticle concentration below which spraying with pure water is more effective than spraying with a nanofluid.However,for surfaces heated to temperatures near the Leidenfrost point,there is no clear indication that nanoparticle concentration plays a role.With the introduction of nanoparticles into sprays,there is a tendency for both the critical heat flux and the Leidenfrost temperatures to shift to a higher temperature range and to increase with the increase in nanoparticle concentration.

文摘SiGe based alloy is a promising medium-high temperature thermoelectric material that has been applied in the field of aerospace exploration.So far,utilizing the second phase to promote the scattering of phonons is a common way to improve the thermoelectric performance of SiGe based alloy,but this often deteriorates the electrical properties.In this study,the Si_(80)Ge_(20)P_(1)/CoSi_(2) composites have been prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering,and the content of cobalt silicide(CoSi_(2))nanoparticles have been manipulated.Since the CoSi_(2) nanoparticles possess higher carrier concentration and smaller work function than the Si_(80)Ge_(20)P_(1) matrix,the carrier concentrations of composites have been pushed up due the charge transfer effect.Meanwhile,the formation of nano-sized phase interfaces and stacking faults in the composites has enhanced the scattering of low-frequency phonons.As a result,the optimal power factor of 3.41 mW·m^(-1),K^(-2) and thermal conductivity of 2.29 W·m^(-1),K^(-1) have been achieved,and the corresponding zT reaches up to 1.3 in the Si_(80)Ge_(20)P_(1)+0.5%CoSi_(2)(in mole)composite at 873 K.This work provides a new idea for developing the performance of SiGe based alloy.

文摘Considering the coupled heat transfer effect induced by parallel cross-river road tunnels, the long-term soil temperature variations of shallow sections of cross-river tunnels under the river beach are predicted using the finite difference method for numerical simulation. The boundary conditions and the initial values are determined by in situ observations and numerical iterations.The simulation results indicate that the ultimate calculated steady heat transfer time is 68 years, and most of the heat transfer is completed in 20 years.The initial constant temperature soil surrounding the tunnels is transformed to an annually variable one.An obvious temperature-varying region of the surrounding soil is discovered within 5 m from the tunnel exterior, as well as within the entire range of soil between the two tunnels.The maximum temperature increase value reaches 7.14 ℃ and the maximum peak-to-valley value of annual temperature increase reaches 10 ℃.The temperature variation of soils surrounding tunnels below 10 m is completely controlled by the heat transfer from the tunnels.The coupled heat transfer effect is confirmed because the ultimate steady temperature of soil between the two tunnels is higher than the ones along other positions.Moreover, the regression model comprising a series of univariate functions is proposed for the annual soil temperature fluctuation estimation for the locations varied distances around the tunnel.This investigation is beneficial to gain an insight into the long-term variation tendencies of local engineering geological conditions of the river beach above shallow sections of the cross-river road tunnels.
