However, achieving effective coupling between Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field in the sensing process is a challenging problem that greatly impacts the sensitivity. To address this, we propose using a microwave resonant cavity to enhance the effective coupling between the Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field. In our experiment, Rydberg atoms are prepared via a three-photon excitation scheme, and the electric fields are measured without and with a microwave cavity in which the vapor cell is placed inside, respectively. As a result, we achieved an 18 dB enhancement of power sensitivity by adding the cavity,which is an effective enhancement in electric field pulse signal detection. This experimental testing provides a promising direction for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atomic electric field sensors and paves the way for their application in precision electric field measurements.展开更多

文摘It is difficult to recover chrysocolla from sulfidation flotation which is closely related to the mineral surface composition.In this study,the effects of fluoride roasting on the surface composition of chrysocolla were investigated,its impact on sulfidation flotation was explored,and the mechanisms involved in both fluoride roasting and sulfidation flotation were discussed.With CaF_(2)as the roasting reagent,Na_(2)S·9H_(2)O as the sulfidation reagent,and sodium butyl xanthate(NaBX)as the collector,the results of the flotation experiments showed that fluoride roasting improved the floatability of chrysocolla,and the recovery rate increased from 16.87%to 82.74%.X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that after fluoride roasting,approximately all the Cu on the chrysocolla surface was exposed in the form of CuO,which could provide a basis for subsequent sulfidation flotation.The microscopy and elemental analyses revealed that large quantities of"pagoda-like"grains were observed on the sulfidation surface of the fluoride-roasted chrysocolla,indicating high crystallinity particles of copper sulfide.This suggests that the effect of sulfide formation on the chrysocolla surface was more pronounced.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that fluoride roasting increased the relative contents of sulfur and copper on the surface and that both the Cu~+and polysulfide fractions on the surface of the minerals increased.This enhances the effect of sulfidation,which is conducive to flotation recovery.Therefore,fluoride roasting improved the effect of copper species transformation and sulfidation on the surface of chysocolla,promoted the adsorption of collectors,and improved the recovery of chrysocolla from sulfidation flotation.

文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal(GI)tumors are among the most prevalent malignancies,and surgical intervention remains a primary treatment modality.However,the complexity of GI surgery often leads to prolonged recovery and high postoperative complication rates,which threaten patient safety and functional outcomes.Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)principles have been shown to improve perioperative outcomes through evidence-based,multidisciplinary care pathways.Despite its widespread adoption,there is a paucity of research focusing specifically on optimizing ERAS-guided nursing processes in the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)and evaluating its impact on perioperative safety in patients undergoing GI tumor surgery.This study aimed to investigate whether an ERASbased PACU nursing protocol could enhance recovery,reduce complications,and improve patient safety in this surgical population.AIM To explore the impact of optimizing the recovery room nursing process based on ERAS on the perioperative safety of patients with GI tumors.METHODS A total of 260 patients with GI tumors who underwent elective surgeries under general anesthesia in our hospital from August 2023 to August 2025 and were then observed in the recovery unit(PACU)were selected.They were randomly divided into the observation group(the PACU nursing process was optimized based on ERAS)and the control group(the conventional PACU nursing process was adopted)by the random number grouping method,with 130 cases in each group.The time of gastric tube removal,urinary catheter removal,defecation time,hospital stay,time of leaving the room after tube removal,retention time in the recovery room,occurrence of complications,satisfaction and readmission rate were compared between the two groups after entering the room.Compare the occurrence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process between the two groups.RESULTS The time of gastric tube removal,urinary catheter removal,defecation time,hospital stay,retention time in the recovery room,total incidence of complications and readmission rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the satisfaction rate was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The occurrence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Optimizing the PACU nursing process based on ERAS can effectively accelerate the recovery process of patients undergoing GI tumor surgery,reduce adverse events,improve nursing satisfaction,and at the same time,lower the incidence of adverse events in the PACU nursing process,providing a more refined management basis for clinical practice.

文摘Alzheimer’s Disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly affects cognitive function,making early and accurate diagnosis essential.Traditional Deep Learning(DL)-based approaches often struggle with low-contrast MRI images,class imbalance,and suboptimal feature extraction.This paper develops a Hybrid DL system that unites MobileNetV2 with adaptive classification methods to boost Alzheimer’s diagnosis by processing MRI scans.Image enhancement is done using Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE)and Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks(ESRGAN).A classification robustness enhancement system integrates class weighting techniques and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC)-based evaluation method into the design.The trained and validated model gives a 98.88%accuracy rate and 0.9614 MCC score.We also performed a 10-fold cross-validation experiment with an average accuracy of 96.52%(±1.51),a loss of 0.1671,and an MCC score of 0.9429 across folds.The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a 98%weighted F1-score while decreasing misdiagnosis results for every AD stage.The model demonstrates apparent separation abilities between AD progression stages according to the results of the confusion matrix analysis.These results validate the effectiveness of hybrid DL models with adaptive preprocessing for early and reliable Alzheimer’s diagnosis,contributing to improved computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems in clinical practice.

文摘The magnetic proximity effect enables interfacial modulation of excitonic and spin-valley properties in transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs),offering a versatile route toward next-generation spintronic and valleytronic devices.However,the inherently weak photoluminescence(PL)of bright excitons—suppressed by proximity-induced darkening mechanisms—hinders the optical detection of magnetic interactions.Here,we demonstrate substantial exciton emission enhancement in CrOCl/WSe_(2)(HS)and twisted 90°-CrOCl/CrOCl/WSe_(2)(THS)heterostructures by employing plasmonic Au nanopillar arrays to activate surface plasmon polariton(SPP)coupling.The neutral exciton emission intensity is enhanced by factors of 5 and 18 for HS/Au and THS/Au,respectively,with enhancements persisting under high magnetic fields and elevated temperatures(~10-fold in THS/Au).Enabled by this amplification,we observe pronounced Zeeman splitting and modified intervalley relaxation pathways,indicating significant magnetic proximity interactions.Finite-element simulations and first-principles calculations reveal that the enhancement arises from local electromagnetic field concentration and layer-dependent interfacial coupling.Our results establish SPP-assisted PL enhancement as an effective strategy for probing weak magneto-optical signatures,paving the way for detailed exploration of exciton-magnon coupling and interface-driven quantum phenomena in twodimensional(2D)magnetic heterostructures.

文摘Increasing the number of atoms that interact with microwave fields represents a promising strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based superheterodyne receivers.Nevertheless,the practical implementation of this approach is impeded by adverse effects such as excitation saturation of Rydberg atoms and power broadening.Here,we demonstrate enhanced microwave field measurements based on two specific velocity groups of atoms,simultaneously addressed by dual-channel probe beams in a Sagnac loop interferometer.The application of resonance detuning in two-photon excitation enables selective addressing of atoms moving along the beam direction,thereby significantly mitigating atomic transit noise.At 7.97 GHz,our method yields a 3 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),achieving a sensitivity of 10.7 nV·cm^(−1)·Hz^(−1/2).This approach offers a viable pathway to further improve the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based microwave electrometers.

文摘Prostate cancer(PCa)is characterized by high incidence and propensity for easy metastasis,presenting significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment.Tumor microenvironment(TME)-responsive nanomaterials provide a promising prospect for imaging-guided precision therapy.Considering that tumor-derived alkaline phosphatase(ALP)is over-expressed in metastatic PCa,it makes a great chance to develop a theranostics system with ALP responsive in the TME.Herein,an ALP-responsive aggregationinduced emission luminogens(AIEgens)nanoprobe AMNF self-assembly was designed for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic PCa.The nanoprobe exhibited self-aggregation in the presence of ALP resulted in aggregation-induced fluorescence,and enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention period at the tumor site.In terms of detection,the fluorescence(FL)/computed tomography(CT)/magnetic resonance(MR)multi-mode imaging effect of nanoprobe was significantly improved post-aggregation,enabling precise diagnosis through the amalgamation of multiple imaging modes.Enhanced CT/MR imaging can achieve assist preoperative tumor diagnosis,and enhanced FL imaging technology can achieve“intraoperative visual navigation”,showing its potential application value in clinical tumor detection and surgical guidance.In terms of treatment,AMNF showed strong absorption in the near infrared region after aggregation,which improved the photothermal treatment effect.Overall,our work developed an effective aggregation-enhanced theranostic strategy for ALP-related cancers.

文摘Metal complexes hold significant promise in tumor diagnosis and treatment.However,their potential applications in photodynamic therapy(PDT)are hindered by issues such as poor photostability,low yield of reactive oxygen species(ROS),and aggregation-induced ROS quenching.To address these challenges,we present a molecular self-assembly strategy utilizing aggregation-induced emission(AIE)conjugates for metal complexes.As a proof of concept,we synthesized a mitochondrial-targeting cyclometalated Ir(Ⅲ)photosensitizer Ir-TPE.This approach significantly enhances the photodynamic effect while mitigating the dark toxicity associated with AIE groups.Ir-TPE readily self-assembles into nanoaggregates in aqueous solution,leading to a significant production of ROS upon light irradiation.Photoirradiated Ir-TPE triggers multiple modes of death by excessively accumulating ROS in the mitochondria,resulting in mitochondrial DNA damage.This damage can lead to ferroptosis and autophagy,two forms of cell death that are highly cytotoxic to cancer cells.The aggregation-enhanced photodynamic effect of Ir-TPE significantly enhances the production of ROS,leading to a more pronounced cytotoxic effect.In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate this aggregation-enhanced PDT approach achieves effective in situ tumor eradication.This study not only addresses the limitations of metal complexes in terms of low ROS production due to aggregation but also highlights the potential of this strategy for enhancing ROS production in PDT.
文摘The electrokinetic(EK)process has been proposed for soil decontamination from heavy metals and organic matter.The advantages of the EK process include the low operating energy,suitability for fine-grained soil decontamination,and no need for excavation.During the last three decades,enhanced and hybrid EK systems were developed and tested for improving the efficiency of contaminants removal from soils.Chemically enhanced-EK processes exhibited excellent efficiency in removing contaminants by controlling the soil pH or the chemical reaction of contaminants.EK hybrid systems were tested to overcome environmental hurdles or technical drawbacks of decontamination technologies.Hybridization of the EK process with phytoremediation,bioremediation,or reactive filtermedia(RFM)improved the remediation process performance by capturing contaminants or facilitating biological agents’movement in the soil.Also,EK process coupling with solar energy was proposed to treat off-grid contaminated soils or reduce the EK energy requirements.This study reviews recent advancements in the enhancement and hybrid EK systems for soil remediation and the type of contaminants targeted by the process.The study also covered the impact of operating parameters,imperfect pollution separation,and differences in the physicochemical characteristics and microstructure of soil/sediment on the EK performance.Finally,a comparison between various remediation processes was presented to highlight the pros and cons of these technologies.

文摘Fault detection in industrial robot drive systems is a critical aspect of ensuring operational reliability and efficiency.To address the challenge of balancing accuracy and robustness in existing fault detection methods,this paper proposes an enhanced fault detection method based on the unscented Kalman filter(UKF).A comprehensive mathematical model of the brushless DC motor drive system is developed to provide a theoretical foundation for the design of subsequent fault detection methods.The conventional UKF estimation process is detailed,and its limitations in balancing estimation accuracy and robustness are addressed by introducing a dynamic,time-varying boundary layer.To further enhance detection performance,the method incorporates residual analysis using improved z-score and signal-tonoise ratio(SNR)metrics.Numerical simulations under both fault-free and faulty conditions demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves lower root mean square error(RMSE)in fault-free scenarios and provides reliable fault detection.These results highlight the potential of the proposed method to enhance the reliability and robustness of fault detection in industrial robot drive systems.

文摘Previous research utilizing Cartoon Generative Adversarial Network(CartoonGAN)has encountered limitations in managing intricate outlines and accurately representing lighting effects,particularly in complex scenes requiring detailed shading and contrast.This paper presents a novel Enhanced Pixel Integration(EPI)technique designed to improve the visual quality of images generated by CartoonGAN.Rather than modifying the core model,the EPI approach employs post-processing adjustments that enhance images without significant computational overhead.In this method,images produced by CartoonGAN are converted from Red-Green-Blue(RGB)to Hue-Saturation-Value(HSV)format,allowing for precise adjustments in hue,saturation,and brightness,thereby improving color fidelity.Specific correction values are applied to fine-tune colors,ensuring they closely match the original input while maintaining the characteristic,stylized effect of CartoonGAN.The corrected images are blended with the originals to retain aesthetic appeal and visual distinctiveness,resulting in improved color accuracy and overall coherence.Experimental results demonstrate that EPI significantly increases similarity to original input images compared to the standard CartoonGAN model,achieving a 40.14%enhancement in visual similarity in Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity(LPIPS),a 30.21%improvement in structural consistency in Structural Similarity Index Measure(SSIM),and an 11.81%reduction in pixel-level error in Mean Squared Error(MSE).By addressing limitations present in the traditional CartoonGAN pipeline,EPI offers practical enhancements for creative applications,particularly within media and design fields where visual fidelity and artistic style preservation are critical.These improvements align with the goals of Fog and Edge Computing,which also seek to enhance processing efficiency and application performance in sensitive industries such as healthcare,logistics,and education.This research not only resolves key deficiencies in existing CartoonGAN models but also expands its potential applications in image-based content creation,bridging gaps between technical constraints and creative demands.Future studies may explore the adaptability of EPI across various datasets and artistic styles,potentially broadening its impact on visual transformation tasks.

文摘Developing microwave electric field sensing based on Rydberg atoms has received significant attention due to its unique advantages. However, achieving effective coupling between Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field in the sensing process is a challenging problem that greatly impacts the sensitivity. To address this, we propose using a microwave resonant cavity to enhance the effective coupling between the Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field. In our experiment, Rydberg atoms are prepared via a three-photon excitation scheme, and the electric fields are measured without and with a microwave cavity in which the vapor cell is placed inside, respectively. As a result, we achieved an 18 dB enhancement of power sensitivity by adding the cavity,which is an effective enhancement in electric field pulse signal detection. This experimental testing provides a promising direction for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atomic electric field sensors and paves the way for their application in precision electric field measurements.

文摘The potential of the vertical-horizontal well hybrid SAGD technique for developing shallow heavy oil reservoirs is gradually being realized.However,challenges remain in terms of low thermal efficiency and high carbon emissions in reservoirs with interlayers.Currently,there is limited research on the low-carbon strategy of coupling exhaust gas from steam boilers with the VH-SAGD technique.Herein,considering heterogeneity,a series of flue gas-assisted VH-SAGD experiments were conducted employing a high-performance 2D visualization model.The mechanism of enhanced recovery of flue gas in VH-SAGD and the effect of its injection methods were studied,with a focus on steam chamber development and oil saturation distribution.Crucially,the interlayer length was optimized to enhance oil recovery,providing a new perspective for well location design in heavy oil reservoirs with interlayers.The results showed that flue gas,as an additive,could fully exploit the well-type advantage of VH-SAGD.By supplementing energy at the reservoir top,flue gas effectively promoted steam chamber development,expanded the oil drainage area of VH-SAGD,and increased the oil recovery from 58.9%to 71.7%.The flow channels formed by pre-injection flue gas accelerated the early-stage expansion of the steam chamber while also inducing lateral migration of steam,slowing steam rise,and consequently increasing the heating range within the low-permeability layer.When the distance between the vertical and horizontal wells was set to twice the interlayer length,the negative effects of the interlayer were more effectively turned into advantages.Because when the lateral development distance of the steam chamber in the low-permeability layer slightly exceeds the interlayer,enhanced heating of the lower part of the reservoir occurred through vertical convection of rising steam and returning condensate.The research results contribute to reducing carbon emissions from steam-based heavy oil extraction while advancing the maturity of VH-SAGD.

文摘Ferroptosis is a newly proposed type of programmed cell death,which has been associated with a variety of diseases including tumors.Researchers have thereby presented nanoplatforms to mediate ferroptosis for anti-cancer therapy.However,the development of ferroptosis-based nanotherapeutics is generally hindered by the limited penetration depth in tumors,poor active pharmaceutical ingredient(API)loading content and the systemic toxicity.Herein,self-propelled ferroptosis nanoinducers composed of two endogenous proteins,glucose oxidase and ferritin,are presented to show enhanced tumor inhibition via ferroptosis while maintaining high API and biocompatibility.The accumulation of our proteomotors at tumor regions is facilitated by the active tumor-targeting effect of ferritin.The enhanced diffusion of proteomotors is then actuated by efficiently decomposing glucose into gluconic acid and H_(2)O_(2),leading to deeper penetration and enhanced uptake into tumors.Under the synergistic effect of glucose oxidase and ferritin,the equilibrium between reactive oxygen species and GSH is damaged,leading to lipid peroxidation.As a result,by inducing ferroptosis,our self-propelled ferroptosis nanoinducers exhibit enhanced tumor inhibitory effects.This work paves a way for the construction of a biocompatible anticancer platform with enhanced diffusion utilizing only two endogenous proteins,centered around the concept of ferroptosis.

文摘Rare-earth supramolecular compounds,such as lanthanide organic polyhedrons(LOPs),are of particular interest due to their many possible applications in various fields.Here we report the first syntheses of Ln_(4)(L^(·+))_(4)-type(Ln,lanthanides;L^(·+),radical ligand)radical-bridged lanthanide organic tetrahedrons by self-assembly of face-capping triphenylamine(TPA)-cored radical ligand with different lanthanide ions.Remarkable coordination enhanced radical stability has been observed,with half-life times(t_(1/2))for L_(1)^(·+),La_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4),Eu_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4),Gd_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4),Tb_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4)and Lu_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4)estimated to be 53 min,482 min,624 min,1248 min,822 min and 347 min,respectively.The TPA radical in Ln_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4)containing paramagnetic Ln ions(Ln=Eu^(Ⅲ),Gd^(Ⅲ)and Tb^(Ⅲ))is observed to be more stable than that in Ln_(4)(L_(1)^(·+))_(4)(Ln=La^(Ⅲ)and Lu^(Ⅲ))constructed by diamagnetic Ln ions.This difference in radical stability is possibly due to the magnetic interactions between paramagnetic Ln^(Ⅲ)ions and L_(1)^(·+)ligands,as confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)in La_(4)(L)_(4)(L=L_(1)and L_(1)^(·+))and Tb_(4)(L)_(4)(L=L_(1)and L_(1)^(·+)),and magnetic susceptibility measurements in Tb·_(4)(L)_(4)(L=L_(1)and L_(1)^(·+)).Our study reveals the coordination of radical ligands with lanthanide ions can improve the radical stability,which is crucial for their applications.
文摘Enhanced oil recovery(EOR)refers to themanymethodologies used to augment the volume of crude oil extracted froman oil reservoir.These approaches are used subsequent to the exhaustion of basic and secondary recovery methods.There are three primary categories of Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR):thermal,gas injection,and chemical.Enhanced oil recovery methods may be costly and intricate;yet,they facilitate the extraction of supplementary oil that would otherwise remain in the reservoir.Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR)may prolong the lifespan of an oil field and augment the total output from a specific field.The parameters influencing oil recovery are a significant problem in Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR)systems,necessitating further examination of the components that impact them.This research examined the impact of permeability fluctuations on fluid dynamics inside a sandstone reservoir and presented a contemporary overview of the three phases of Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR),including detailed explanations of the methodologies used and the processes facilitating oil recovery.The challenges faced with several common EOR mechanisms were identified,and solutions were suggested.Additionally,the modern trend of incorporating nanotechnology and its synergistic impacts on the stability and efficacy of conventional chemicals for enhanced oil recovery(EOR)was scrutinised and evaluated.Ultimately,laboratory results and field activities were examined.The study looked closely at hownanoparticlesmove through reservoirs and evaluated enhanced oil recovery(EOR),mobility ratio,and fluid displacement efficiency.This study offers comprehensive insights into the use of enhanced oil recovery techniques for sustainable energy generation.

文摘BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)represents an innovative,protocoldriven perioperative care program designed to optimize patient outcomes.However,its application and efficacy in infants and children with Hirschsprung disease(HD)remain underexplored.AIM To delve into the impact of ERAS on perioperative recovery and the overall medical experience in HD infants and children.METHODS Thirty-eight infants and children with HD who received the Soave surgical procedure were enrolled in this case-control study.According to age-and sexstratified single-blind randomized tables,20 cases received ERAS treatment(ERAS group)and 18 cases received conventional treatment(control group).The two treatments were then compared in terms of perioperative recovery and medical experience.RESULTS Significant differences were observed in pain scores at awakening(4.2±1.3 vs 5.2±1.2,t=2.516,P=0.017)and pain duration(85.69±7.46 hours vs 67.00±8.56 hours,t=7.139,P<0.001)between the ERAS and control group.The recovery of bowel movement was earlier in the ERAS group than in the control group(borborygmus time:33.63±9.83 hours vs 44.69±16.85 hours,t=2.501,P=0.017;feeding time:36.63±9.55 hours vs 49.36±16.99 hours,t=2.884,P=0.007;anal catheter indwelling time:75.83±13.80 hours vs 93.36±20.65 hours,t=3.104,P=0.004),and fever duration(40.73±14.42 hours vs 52.63±18.69 hours,t=2.211,P=0.034).In the ERAS group,hospital stay was shorter(7.5±0.9 days vs 8.3±1.2 days)and the cost was lower(14203±2381 yuan vs 16847±3558 yuan).During the 1-month follow-up period,of the multiple postoperative complications observed,the occurrence of perianal dermatitis(PFisher=0.016)and defecation dysfunction(PFisher=0.027)were lower in the ERAS group than in the control group.CONCLUSION The ERAS protocol has the potential to profoundly enhance postoperative recovery and significantly elevate the overall comfort and quality of the medical experience,making it an indispensable approach that warrants widespread adoption.Continuous refinement through evidence-based practices is anticipated to further optimize its efficacy.
文摘BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)programs provide recommendations for an optimized management of patients undergoing surgery.An ERAS program tailored on surgery for retroperitoneal sarcomas(RPS)may improve patient outcomes and it has still not been established.AIM To determine how an ERAS program tailored to RPS surgery can be agreed upon,structured,and implemented.METHODS Twenty-five candidate items from existing ERAS programs,potentially relevant for RPS surgery,were identified via literature review and expert input.These were included in a questionnaire refined through cognitive interviews and pilot testing.Expert sarcoma surgeons rated each item’s relevance and feasibility on a 6-point scale.The survey was recirculated after one year.Intra-observer reproducibility,inter-observer concordance,and agreement with the modal value of the most experienced participants were analyzed.RESULTS Thirteen sarcoma surgeons from 6 centers participated in the survey.Although surgeons agreed on several items,their overall concordance was low.After recirculating the survey,the intraobserver reproducibility was low.Interestingly,the median concordance with the reference increased for relevance and decreased for feasibility.CONCLUSION Despite interest in ERAS for RPS,surgeon concordance on item relevance and feasibility remains low,underscoring the need for collaborative efforts toward a standardized,consensus-based protocol.
