The author has continued investigating the extraordinary (paradigm-breaking) hypothesis of formal-axiological interpreting Newton’s mathematical principles of natural philosophy and, thus, has arrived to discrete mathematical modeling a system of formal axiology of nature by extracting and systematical studying its proper algebraic aspect. Along with the proper algebraic machinery, the axiomatic (hypothetic-deductive) method is exploited in this investigation systematically. The research results are the followings. 1) The Third Newton’s Law of mechanics has been modeled by a formal-axiological equation of two-valued algebraic system of metaphysics as formal axiology. (Precise defining the algebraic system is provided.) The formal-axiological equation has been established (and examined) in this algebraic system by accurate computing compositions of relevant evaluation-functions. Precise tabular definitions of the evaluation-functions are given. 2) The wonderful formula representing the Third Newton’s Law (in the relevant physical interpretation of the formal theory Sigma-V) has been derived logically in Sigma-V from the presumption of a-priori-ness of knowledge. A precise axiomatic definition of the nontrivial notion “a-priori-ness of knowledge” is given. The formal derivation is implemented in strict accordance with the rigor standard of D. Hilbert’s formalism;hence, checking the formal derivation submitted in this article is not a difficult task. With respect to proper theoretical physics, the formal inference is a nontrivial scientific novelty which has not been discussed and published elsewhere yet.展开更多

文摘The development of sustainable materials has encouraged the use of biopolymers as alternatives to synthetic polymers.Polymeric films have stood out for their high potential in environmentally sustainable applications.Conventional cellulose acetate(CA)-based films are attractive due to their biodegradability and film-forming ability.However,their functional performance often requires enhancement through the incorporation of additives.In this context,two bio-based additives were investigated:condensed tannin(0%,5%and 10%wt.),a natural polyphenol known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties,and nanocrystalline cellulose(CNC)(0%,0.5%and 1%wt.),which act as reinforcing agents to improve mechanical strength and barrier properties.The results showed that tannin generally enhanced mechanical strength and surface uniformity while imparting contact-based antimicrobial activity.CNC reduced water uptake and improved thermal stability,but when used alone,it tended to lower mechanical performance and increase surface roughness.The combination of CNC and tannin produced performance shifts that depended strongly on their relative concentrations,with no consistent synergistic effect across all properties.In certain balanced ratios,CNC benefited fromtannin’smatrix-stabilizing effect,leading to improved strength or reduced moisture absorption.Antimicrobial activity in acetic acid–based films was linked to residual acidity,whereas in acetonebased films,tannin alone was responsible for the antimicrobial effect by contact.These findings highlight that the physicochemical,mechanical,and functional performance of CA films(CAFs)is governed not only by additive type but also by the precise interplay between CNC and tannin,underscoring the need for formulation strategies tailored to the requirements of specific applications.
文摘After the“Ballad Movement”in the early 20th century revealed and systematized the Liang Zhu legend,numerous literary works had created a rich body of classic reinterpretations.This paper argues that Yang Yinshen’s A Storm stands as the earliest modern literary creation that actively embraced the folk Liang Zhu legend.By situating the ancient story of Zhu Yingtai in a contemporary context,the play replaces the traditional core values of“loyalty and righteousness”with modern themes of pursuing free love,amplifying women’s autonomy.Through a modern tragic love story,it achieves a classic reinterpretation of the classical folk legend.The“revised narrative”in A Storm primarily involves derivative adaptations,incorporating contemporary revisions to characters and themes.Its three-act structure also forms the foundational framework for subsequent reinterpretations of the Liang Zhu legend.The play demonstrates a conscious absorption of the rebellious spirit in folk literature,incorporates dialectal speech,and provides valuable insights into how modern literature can utilize oral traditions.

文摘Lithium(Li)is an‘emerging'environmental pollutant,especially in soil,which is a great concern because it can endanger human health through the food chain.Compared with traditional chemical analyses,hyperspectral techniques have achieved many exciting results in soil metal monitoring due to their advantages of being fast and non-destructive.However,insufficient attention has been paid to lithium in soil,and the feasibility of its estimation using hyperspectral techniques needs to be investigated.We studied 97 soil samples from claytype lithium mines in the Ertanggou area of the East Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang to explore the effects of spectral resolution,fractional order derivatives(FOD),and characteristic band selection on the estimation accuracy of clay Li content,to obtain a fast and effective method for estimating clay Li content.Finally,we developed a new method for rapid and nondestructive estimation of soil lithium content.We have obtained some important results from the study.Spectral resolution exerts a significant impact on model performance,and its reduction usually leads to a decline in model performance.For the full band,the models constructed with low-order derivatives were superior to those with high-order derivatives,and the best model was obtained at the 0.4-order derivative(coefficient of determination(R^(2))and relative predictive deviation(RPD)of 0.777 and 2.118,respectively).In the characteristic bands,the lower order is sensitive to the visible-near-infrared range,and the higher order is sensitive to the short-wave infrared range,and the model constructed with the higher-order derivatives outperforms the lower-order derivatives.In this study,the combination of FOD and Random Forest(RF)can significantly improve the model performance,with R^(2),Relative Root Mean Squared Error(RRMSE),and RPD being 0.849,1.526,and 2.574,respectively.Therefore,this research provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for imaging hyperspectral exploration of anomalous areas of clay-type Li resources.

文摘Background:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)are important tumor microenvironment components in small cell lung cancer(SCLC).We successfully identified MDSCs expressing the surface marker CD33 in SCLC;nonetheless,whether CD33^(+)MDSCs promote SCLC angiogenesis remains unclear.This study aims to explore the angiogenic effect and clinical significance of CD33^(+)MDSCs derived from SCLC.Method:Nineteen patients diagnosed with extensive-stage SCLC at Jilin Cancer Hospital were selected as the research subjects.CD33^(+)MDSCs were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients with SCLC using magnetic bead separation and CD33 expression was detected by flow cytometry.The angiogenic potential of CD33^(+)MDSCs derived from the peripheral blood of patients with SCLC and healthy individuals was assessed using human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC)angiogenesis assays,and the clinical significance of CD33^(+)MDSCs in promoting angiogenesis in patients with SCLC was analyzed using clinical data.Results:Compared to healthy individuals,the CD33^(+)MDSCs(CD14^(+)CD33^(+))isolated from the peripheral blood of SCLC patients exhibited a greater ability to promote HUVEC tubular growth(average vessel length:57.60 mm[47.78 mm]vs.39.07 mm[15.84 mm],p=0.000;vessel area:371,890 mm^(3)[699,927 mm^(3)]vs.334,652 mm^(3)[219,520 mm^(3)],p<0.000;total number of junctions:141[301]vs.120[94],p<0.005),and their angiogenic ability was associated with older age,female sex,high performance status scores,no systematic treatment,and treatment unresponsiveness(p<0.050).Furthermore,the enhanced angiogenic ability of CD33^(+)MDSCs may represent a risk factor for treatment unresponsiveness(average vessel length:Odds ratio=3.904,95%CI=1.812-8.409,p=0.001;vessel area:Odds ratio=2.501,95%CI=1.187-5.267,p=0.016;total number of junctions:Odds ratio=3.630,95%CI=1.686-7.815,p=0.001)and is associated with a poor SCLC prognosis(average vessel length:Hazard ratio=2.210,95%CI=1.299-3.758,p=0.003;vessel area:Hazard ratio=2.170,95%CI=1.274-3.693,p=0.004;total number of junctions:Hazard ratio=2.267,95%CI=1.333-3.853,p=0.003).Conclusion:CD33^(+)MDSCs derived from the peripheral blood of patients with SCLC promote angiogenesis,which is a risk factor for treatment unresponsiveness and is associated with poor prognosis.

文摘Acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of pyridinemethanol with ketones is one of the most reliable methodologies to access functionalized 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives.However,it is challenging to develop environmentally friendly catalytic systems,especially in constructing efficient and recyclable catalysts under water or solvent-free conditions.Here,we designed two novel coordination polymers Cd-CPs and Fe-CPs to investigate their catalytic performance in water.Gratifyingly,it was observed that Cd-CPs as a multifunctional catalyst was successfully applied to establish a universal pathway for direct fabrication of 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives under water conditions,while it was effective for the synthesis of1,3,5-triazines through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling strategies.The features of broad substrate,high atom efficiency,and good catalyst reusability highlight the feasibility of this transformation.In additional,we demonstrated the spindle-like structures Fe-P,derived from the Fe-CPs via phosphorylation,which can be used as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction with good stability.This work provides two highly efficient non-noble metal catalysts for functionalized 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives production and oxygen evolution reaction,and opens a new avenue to further fabricate diverse metal catalysts with high catalytic performance in water.

文摘The thermal decomposition characteristic of ammonium perchlorate(AP)represents a critical factor in determining the performance of solid propellants,which has aroused significant interest on the structure and performance improvement of kinds of catalysts.In this study,bimetallic metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),such as CuCo-BTC(BTC=1,3,5-Benzenetricarboxylic acid,H_(3)BTC),CuNi-BTC,and CoNi-BTC,were synthesized by solvothermal(ST)and spray-drying(SD)methods,and then calcined at 400℃for 2 h to form metal oxides.The catalysts as well as their catalytic effects for AP decomposition were characterized by FTIR,XRD,SEM,XPS,TG,DSC,TG-IR,EIS,CV,and LSV.It was found that the rapid coordination of metal ions with ligands during spray drying may lead to catalytic structural defects,promoting the exposure of reactive active sites and increasing the catalytic active region.The results showed that the addition of 2 wt%binary transition metal oxides(BTMOs)as catalysts significantly reduced the high-temperature decomposition(HTD)temperature of AP and enhanced its heat release.Of particular significance is the observation that SD-CoNiO_(x),prepared by spray-drying,reduced the decomposition temperature of AP from 413.26℃(pure AP)to 306℃and enhanced the heat release from 256.79 J/g(pure AP)to 1496.82 J/g,while concomitantly reducing the activation energy by 42%.By analysing the gaseous products during the decomposition of AP+SD-CoNiO_(x)and AP+ST-CoNiO_(x),it was found that SD-CoNiO_(x)could significantly increase the content of high-valent nitrogen oxides during the AP decomposition reaction,which indicates that the BTMOs prepared by spray-drying in the reaction system are more conducive to accelerating the electron transfer in the thermal decomposition process of AP,and can provide a high concentration of reactive oxygen species that oxidize AP to high-valent nitrogen oxide-containing compounds.The present study shows that the structure selectivity of the spray-drying technique influences surfactant molecular arrangement on catalyst surfaces,resulting in their ability to promote higher electron transfer during the catalytic process.Therefore,BTMOs prepared by spray drying method have higher potential for application.
