The corrosion resistance of Fe-AMMC was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests in 1 mol/L HCl, NaCl, H2SO4 and NaOH solutions, respectively. The surface morphologies corroded were observed by SEM. The results indicate that Fe-AMMC exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, higher corrosion resistance than 304L stainless steel in the chloride solutions. The low corrosion current density and passive current density of Fe-AMMC with a wide spontaneous passivation region are about 132.0μA/cm2 and 9.0 mA/cm2 in HCl solution, and about 2.5 μA/cm2 and 2.3 mA/cm2 in NaCl solution. The excellent corrosion resistance demonstrates that Fe-based amorphous metallic matrix powder is a viable engineering material in practical anti-corrosion and anti-wear coating applications.展开更多

文摘Driven by advancements in mobile internet technology,images have become a crucial data medium.Ensuring the security of image information during transmission has thus emerged as an urgent challenge.This study proposes a novel image encryption algorithm specifically designed for grayscale image security.This research introduces a new Cantor diagonal matrix permutation method.The proposed permutation method uses row and column index sequences to control the Cantor diagonal matrix,where the row and column index sequences are generated by a spatiotemporal chaotic system named coupled map lattice(CML).The high initial value sensitivity of the CML system makes the permutation method highly sensitive and secure.Additionally,leveraging fractal theory,this study introduces a chaotic fractal matrix and applies this matrix in the diffusion process.This chaotic fractal matrix exhibits selfsimilarity and irregularity.Using the Cantor diagonal matrix and chaotic fractal matrix,this paper introduces a fast image encryption algorithm involving two diffusion steps and one permutation step.Moreover,the algorithm achieves robust security with only a single encryption round,ensuring high operational efficiency.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm features an expansive key space,robust security,high sensitivity,high efficiency,and superior statistical properties for the ciphered images.Thus,the proposed algorithm not only provides a practical solution for secure image transmission but also bridges fractal theory with image encryption techniques,thereby opening new research avenues in chaotic cryptography and advancing the development of information security technology.

文摘Generative steganography uses generative stego images to transmit secret message.It also effectively defends against statistical steganalysis.However,most existing methods focus primarily on matching the feature distribution of training data,often neglecting the sequential continuity between moves in the game.This oversight can result in unnatural patterns that deviate from real user behavior,thereby reducing the security of the hidden communication.To address this issue,we design a Gomoku agent based on the AlphaZero algorithm.The model engages in self-play to generate a sequence of plausible moves.These moves formthe basis of the stego images.We then apply an attractionmatrix at each step.It guides themove selection so that themoves appearmore natural.Thismethod helps maintain logical flow between moves.It also extends the game length,which increases the embedding capacity.Next,we filter and prioritize the generated moves.The selected moves are embedded into a move pool.Secret message is mapped to thesemoves.It is then embedded step by step as the game progresses.The finalmove sequence constitutes a complete steganographic game record.The receiver can extract the secret message using this record and a predefined mapping rule.Experiments show that our method reaches a maximum embedding capacity of 223 bits per carrier.Detection accuracy is 0.500 under XuNet and 0.498 under YeNet.These results are equal to random guessing,showing strong imperceptibility.The proposed method demonstrates superior concealment,higher embedding capacity,and greater robustness against common image distortions and steganalysis attacks.
文摘We read with the great interest the study by Ababneh et al in which inducedmesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes were shown to exhibit a stronger andmore sustained anti-proliferative effect by inducing a senescence-like state withoutapoptosis.The results obtained by the authors highlight the features of theeffects of senescent drift induction in surrounding tissues.In the light of thesefindings,the role of the properties of extracellular matrix and cellular glycocalyxin responses of human tumors to therapy remain uninvestigated.These extracellularbarriers appear to be significant obstacles to effective cancer therapy,especiallyin relation to the use of unique properties of tumor microenvironment forthe immunotherapy-resistant cancer treatment.

文摘The effect of adding hydroxycinnamic acids(caffeic acid,sinapic acid,p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid)in Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine before and after fermentation was investigated,taking into account the color parameters,anthocyanin content,and overall polyphenol levels in the wine samples.The copigmentation effect of malvidin-3-Oglucoside and sinapic acid was further explored in model solution and through theoretical calculations.The results indicated that the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids significantly enhanced the wine's color with sinapic acid(before the fermentation)showing the most pronounced color protection effect.Compared to control samples,the addition of hydroxycinnamic acids resulted in a 36%increase in total phenolic content and a 28% increase in total anthocyanin content.Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the interaction between sinapic acid and malvidin-3-O-glucoside was spontaneous and exothermic.Theoretical studies identified hydrogen bonding(HB)and dispersion forces as the main primary stabilizing forces,with the carboxyl group of sinapic acid playing a critical role while the anthocyanin backbone also influenced the interaction.

文摘The fast solution of linear equations has always been one of the hot spots in scientific computing.A kind of the diagonal matrix splitting iteration methods are provided,which is different from the classical matrix splitting methods.Taking the decomposition of the diagonal elements for coefficient matrix as the key point,some new preconditioners are constructed.Taking the tri-diagonal coefficient matrix as an example,the convergence domains and optimal relaxation factor of the new method are analyzed theoretically.The presented new iteration methods are applied to solve linear algebraic equations,even 2D and 3D diffusion problems with the fully implicit discretization.The results of numerical experiments are matched with the theoretical analysis,and show that the iteration numbers are reduced greatly.The superiorities of presented iteration methods exceed some classical iteration methods dramatically.

文摘With the rapid advancement of electromagnetic launch technology,enhancing the structural stability and thermal resistance of armatures has become essential for improving the overall efficiency and reliability of railgun systems.Traditional aluminum alloy armatures often suffer from severe ablation,deformation,and uneven current distribution under high pulsed currents,which limit their performance and service life.To address these challenges,this study employs the Johnson–Cook constitutive model and the finite element method to develop armature models of aluminum matrix composites with varying heterogeneous graphene volume fractions.The temperature,stress,and strain of the armatures during operation were analyzed to investigate the effects of different graphene volume fractions on the deformation and damage behavior of aluminum matrix composite armatures under the multi-field coupling of electromagnetic,thermal,and structural interactions.The results indicate that,compared to the 6061 aluminum alloy matrix,the graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composite armature significantly suppresses ablation damage at the tail and throat edges.The incorporation of graphene notably reduces the temperature rise during the armature emission process,increases the muzzle velocity under identical current excitation,and mitigates directional deformation of the armature.The 1 wt.% graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composite armature demonstrates better agreement with experimental results at a strain rate of 2000 s^(-1),while simultaneously improving stress-strain response,reducing temperature rise,and improving velocity performance.

文摘Mg alloys have garnered significant attention in advanced engineering applications due to their exceptional combination of specificstrength and lightweight properties.Theα-Mg solid solution,which constitutes the core component of Mg alloys,directly governs the alloy’sthermodynamic behavior,kinetic response,and overall performance.This paper systematically reviews the effects of theα-Mg matrix phase onmechanical properties(e.g.,when the average grain size of pure Mg is refined from 59.7μm to 1.57μm,the alloy’s yield strength increasesby 122 MPa),corrosion resistance(e.g.,adding 0.5%Gd and 0.5%Sc to pure Mg reduces the alloy’s weight loss rate from 208.71 mm/yearto 0.29 mm/year),damping properties,electromagnetic shielding properties,and flame retardancy,and reveals the microscopic interactionmechanisms between the matrix phase,solute atoms,crystal defects,and second phases.Furthermore,this paper critically analyzes the keyrole of the matrix phase in emerging fields such as bio-Mg alloys(e.g.,controlled degradation rate design),Mg-air batteries(e.g.,anodeefficiency optimization),and Mg-based hydrogen storage materials(e.g.,enhancement of hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics).Finally,this paper explores the significant potential of data-driven methods in the design and development of next-generation high-performance Mgalloys.

文摘Efficient implementation of fundamental matrix operations on quantum computers,such as matrix products and Hadamard operations,holds significant potential for accelerating machine learning algorithms.A critical prerequisite for quantum implementations is the effective encoding of classical data into quantum states.We propose two quantum computing frameworks for preparing the distinct encoded states corresponding to matrix operations,including the matrix product,matrix sum,matrix Hadamard product and division.Quantum algorithms based on the digital encoding computing framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(poly log(mnl/ε)),achieving an exponential speedup in contrast to the classical methods of O(mn)and O(mnl).Quantum algorithms based on the analog-encoding framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(k_(1)√mn·poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(k_(2)√1·poly log(mnl/ε)),where k_(1)and k_(2)are coefficients correlated with the elements of the matrix,achieving a square speedup in contrast to the classical counterparts.As applications,we construct an oracle that can access the trace of a matrix within logarithmic time,and propose several algorithms to respectively estimate the trace of a matrix,the trace of the product of two matrices,and the trace inner product of two matrices within logarithmic time.
文摘Evaluating the adversarial robustness of classification algorithms in machine learning is a crucial domain.However,current methods lack measurable and interpretable metrics.To address this issue,this paper introduces a visual evaluation index named confidence centroid skewing quadrilateral,which is based on a classification confidence-based confusion matrix,offering a quantitative and visual comparison of the adversarial robustness among different classification algorithms,and enhances intuitiveness and interpretability of attack impacts.We first conduct a validity test and sensitive analysis of the method.Then,prove its effectiveness through the experiments of five classification algorithms including artificial neural network(ANN),logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),convolutional neural network(CNN)and transformer against three adversarial attacks such as fast gradient sign method(FGSM),DeepFool,and projected gradient descent(PGD)attack.

文摘This study investigates the anisotropic thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with graphene nano-plates(GNPs)and in situ ZrB_(2) nanoparticles,while simultaneously maintaining high strength and toughness.A discontinuous layered GNPs-ZrB_(2)/AA6111 composite was prepared using in situ melt reactions and semi-solid stirring casting technology,combined with hot rolling deformation processing.Microstructural analysis revealed that the GNPs were aligned parallel to the rolling direction-transverse direction(RD-TD)plane,whereas the ZrB_(2) nanoparticles aggregated into cluster strips,collectively forming a discontinuous layered structure.This multilayer arrangement maximized the in-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs.The tightly bonded GNP/Al interfaces with the locking of CuAl_(2) nanoparticles ensured that the GNPs fully exploited their high thermal conductivity.Therefore,the GNPs-ZrB_(2)/AA6111 composite achieved high in-plane thermal conductivity(230 W/(m·K)),which is higher than that of the matrix(206 W/(m·K)).The improved in-plane thermal conductivity is primarily attributed to the exceptionally high intrinsic in-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs and their two-dimensional layered structure.However,the composite exhibited pronounced thermal conductivity anisotropy in the in-plane and through-plane directions.The reduced through-plane thermal conductivity is predominantly caused by the intrinsically low through-plane thermal conductivity of the GNPs and the increased interfacial thermal resistance from the additional grain boundaries.

文摘In the present work,the porous Ti particle reinforced Mg-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites(BMGCs)have been successfully fabricated via a novel in-situ dealloying method in metallic melt.A dual reinforcing structure,including large-scale between porous particles and fine-scale inside one particle,was induced to further overcome the strength-plasticity tradeoff.The microstructure and mechanical properties of such dual-scale structure-reinforced BMGCs with various volume fractions and diameters of porous Ti particles were investigated in detail.It is found that with more and finer porous Ti particles,the BMGC showed both high fracture strength(1131.9±39.1 MPa)and good plastic deformability(1.48±0.38%).The characteristic of the reinforcing structure(0.48μm)inside the porous particles was close to the plastic processing zone size of the matrix(0.1~0.2μm),which generated a locally ideal reinforcing structure.Such dual-scale reinforcing structures with more interfaces can effectively promote the multiplication of shear bands at the interfaces.Due to the size effect,the refined submicron matrix between the Ti ligaments inside the porous particles should exhibit homogeneous shearing events.Such delocalization behavior from the dual-scale reinforcing structures should help to enhance the role of the interactions between shear bands,thus improving the yield strength of the composites.Based on the in-situ dealloying method,the dual-scale structure design provides a novel approach to fabricate various BMGCs with both high strength and good plasticity.

文摘Polymer matrix composites with high dielectric constants and low dielectric losses are in high demand for flexible electronics.However,simultaneously satisfying these requirements poses a significant scientific challenge owing to the intrinsic trade-off relationship.Herein,we utilized the in situ controllable reduction of graphene oxide(GO)within a poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene)(P(VDF-Tr FE-CFE))matrix to regulate the dielectric properties.The as-obtained composite exhibited a high relative dielectric constant of 1415coupled with a low loss tangent of 0.380 at 100 Hz.Experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the increased degree of electron conjugation and conductivity of the reduced GO(RGO)are responsible for the high-k.The constrained reduction degree of GO,combined with its homogeneous dispersion in the polymer matrix,effectively suppresses long-range charge carrier migration,thereby minimizing dielectric loss.This novel strategy could be successfully applied to both organic and aqueous systems.Furthermore,a high-performance flexible capacitive proximity sensor was exemplified by the optimization of both the dielectric layer and electrode pattern,exhibiting excellent sensitivity and stability.The fundamental mechanisms elucidated in this study provide crucial design principles for developing dielectric PMCs with tailored properties,thereby opening new avenues for advanced flexible electronic applications.
