Herein, we present a 2.5-dimensionaldynamic structural color based on nanogratings of heterogeneous materials, which were obtained by interweaving a pH-responsive hydrogelwith an IP-L photoresist. Transverse gratings printed with pH-responsive hydrogels elongated the period of longitudinal grating in the swollenstate, resulting in pH-tuned structural colors at a 45° incidence. Moreover, the patterned encoding and array printing of dynamic structuralcolors were achieved using grayscale stripe images to accurately encode the periods and heights of the nanogrid structures. Overall, dynamicstructural color networks exhibit promising potential for applications in information encryption and in situ sensing for microfluidic chips.展开更多

文摘In this work,a heterogeneous structure(HS)with an alternating distribution of coarse and fineαlamella is fabricated in bimodal Ti6242 alloy via insufficient diffusion of alloying elements induced by fast heat-ing treatment.Instead of a distinct interface between the primaryα_(p)hase(α_(p))andβ_(t)ransformation microstructure(β_(t))in the equiaxed microstructure(EM),allα_(p)/β_(t)interfaces are eliminated in the HS,and the largeα_(p)phases are replaced by coarseαlamella.Compared to the EM alloy,the heterostruc-tured alloy exhibits a superior strength-ductility combination.The enhanced strength is predominantly attributed to the increased interfaces ofα/βplates and hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strengthening caused by back stress.Meanwhile,good ductility is ascribed to its uniform distribution of coarse and fineαlamella,which effectively inhibits strain localization and generates an extra HDI hardening.This can be evidenced by the accumulated geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)induced by strain partitioning of the heterostructure.Significantly,the HDI causes extra<c+a>dislocations piling up in the coarseαlamella,which generates an extra strain hardening to further improve the ductility.Such hetero-interface coordinated deformation mechanism sheds light on a new perspective for tailoring bimodal titanium al-loys with excellent mechanical properties.

文摘Photoredox catalysis has made significant advances in stateof-the-art chemical synthesis,drawing energy from inexhaustible light and enabling various organic transformations to occur under mild reaction conditions.Over the past few years,a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysts have been applied in the photoredox catalysis.Heterogeneous photoredox catalysis offers advantages such as easy separation and superior recyclability compared to homogeneous counterparts,although homogenous catalysts are usually associated with higher activities and selectivity.From a practical perspective,an optimal photoredox catalytic system would integrate the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous cases.

文摘Social interaction with peer pressure is widely studied in social network analysis.Game theory can be utilized to model dynamic social interaction,and one class of game network models assumes that people’s decision payoff functions hinge on individual covariates and the choices of their friends.However,peer pressure would be misidentified and induce a non-negligible bias when incomplete covariates are involved in the game model.For this reason,we develop a generalized constant peer effects model based on homogeneity structure in dynamic social networks.The new model can effectively avoid bias through homogeneity pursuit and can be applied to a wider range of scenarios.To estimate peer pressure in the model,we first present two algorithms based on the initialize expand merge method and the polynomial-time twostage method to estimate homogeneity parameters.Then we apply the nested pseudo-likelihood method and obtain consistent estimators of peer pressure.Simulation evaluations show that our proposed methodology can achieve desirable and effective results in terms of the community misclassification rate and parameter estimation error.We also illustrate the advantages of our model in the empirical analysis when compared with a benchmark model.

文摘Protein arginine methyltransferase-6 participates in a range of biological functions,particularly RNA processing,transcription,chromatin remodeling,and endosomal trafficking.However,it remains unclear whether protein arginine methyl transferase-6 modifies neuropathic pain and,if so,what the mechanisms of this effect.In this study,protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression levels and its effect on neuropathic pain were investigated in the spared nerve injury model,chronic constriction injury model and bone cancer pain model,using immunohistochemistry,western blotting,immunoprecipitation,and label-free proteomic analysis.The results showed that protein arginine methyltransferase-6 mostly co-localized withβ-tubulinⅢin the dorsal root ganglion,and that its expression decreased following spared nerve injury,chronic constriction injury and bone cancer pain.In addition,PRMT6 knockout(Prmt6~(-/-))mice exhibited pain hypersensitivity.Furthermore,the development of spared nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity to mechanical pain was attenuated by blocking the decrease in protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression.Moreover,when protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression was downregulated in the dorsal root ganglion in mice without spared nerve injury,increased levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases were observed in the ipsilateral dorsal horn,and the response to mechanical stimuli was enhanced.Mechanistically,protein arginine methyltransferase-6 appeared to contribute to spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain by regulating the expression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein-F.Additionally,protein arginine methyltransfe rase-6-mediated modulation of hete rogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein-F expression required amino atids 319 to 388,but not classical H3R2 methylation.These findings indicated that protein arginine methyltransferase-6 is a potential therapeutic target fo r the treatment of peripheral neuro pathic pain.

文摘Homogeneous C-H and C-X borylation via transition-metal-catalysis have undergone rapid development in the past decades and become one of the most practical methods for the synthesis of organoboron compounds.However,the catalysts employed in homogeneous catalysis are generally expensive,sensitive,and difficult to separate from the reaction mixture and reuse.With the rapid development of heterogeneous catalysis,heterogeneous C-H and C-X borylation have emerged as highly efficient and sustainable approaches towards the synthesis of organoboron compounds.This review aims to highlight the recent advances in the synthesis of organoboron compounds employing heterogeneous C-H and C-X borylation strategies.We endeavor to shed light on new perspectives and inspire further research and applications in this emerging area.

文摘Tight glutenite reservoirs are known for strong heterogeneity,complex wettability,and challenging development.Gas-Assisted Gravity Drainage(GAGD)technology has the potential to significantly improve recovery efficiency in glutenite reservoir.However,there is currently limited research on GAGD processes specifically designed for glutenite reservoirs,and there is a lack of relevant dimensionless numbers for predicting recovery efficiency.In this study,we developed a theoretical model based on the characteristics of glutenite reservoirs and used phase-field method to track the oil-gas interface for numerical simulations of dynamic GAGD processes.To explore the factors influencing gas-driven recovery,we simulated the effects of strong heterogeneity and dynamic wettability on the construction process under gravity assistance.Additionally,we introduced multiple dimensionless numbers(including capillary number,viscosity ratio,and Bond number)and conducted a series of numerical simulations.The results demonstrate that gravity enhances the stability of the oil-gas interface but causes unstable pressure fluctuations when passing through different-sized throat regions,particularly leading to front advancement in smaller throats.Although strong heterogeneity has negative impacts on GAGD,they can be mitigated by reducing injection velocity.Increasing oil-wettability promotes oil displacement by overcoming capillary forces,particularly in narrower pores,allowing residual oils to be expelled.Among the dimensionless numbers,the recovery efficiency is directly proportional to the Bond number and inversely proportional to the capillary number and viscosity ratio.Through sensitivity analysis of the dimensionless numbers’impact on the recovery efficiency,a new dimensionless N_(Glu) considering heterogeneity is proposed to accurately predict GAGD recovery of tight glutenite reservoirs.

文摘Approximately 30%of the global population struggles with access to potable water,and 60%lacks adequate sanitation.Effective disinfection is crucial,however,heterogeneous systems,despite their benefits,often exhibit lower efficacy compared to homogeneous method,presenting a significant challenge[1].In heterogeneous catalysis,photocatalytic disinfection holds immense promise for various applications.However,two key factors significantly impact the efficacy of photocatalytic disinfection:the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROSs)by the photocatalyst and the interaction between ROS and bacteria.

文摘This paper mainly focuses on the velocity-constrained consensus problem of discrete-time heterogeneous multi-agent systems with nonconvex constraints and arbitrarily switching topologies,where each agent has first-order or second-order dynamics.To solve this problem,a distributed algorithm is proposed based on a contraction operator.By employing the properties of the stochastic matrix,it is shown that all agents’position states could converge to a common point and second-order agents’velocity states could remain in corresponding nonconvex constraint sets and converge to zero as long as the joint communication topology has one directed spanning tree.Finally,the numerical simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

文摘With the rapid development of the world economy,complex air pollution has increasingly become a serious threat;for example,with haze events occurring frequently in various regions of the globe.Recent evidence has indicated that secondary aerosols play an important role in haze formation,and that heterogeneous processes are among the main forces driving their explosive growth.In this regard,this paper reviews recent advances in the understanding of the impact of heterogeneous processes on haze chemistry,including the impact on NO_(2)chemistry,marine aerosols,and the hygroscopicity and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols.It is distinguished from past reviews on this topic by focusing mainly on new insights from the past five years.We summarize the main findings of the impacts of heterogeneous processes on NO_(2)chemistry,marine aerosols,and the physicochemical properties of atmospheric aerosols,and propose several future research directions.

文摘Currently,perovskite solar cells have achieved commendable progresses in power conversion efficiency(PCE)and operational stability.However,some conventional laboratory-scale fabrication methods become challenging when scaling up material syntheses or device production.Particularly,the prolonged high-temperature annealing process for the crystallization of perovskites requires a substantial amount of energy consumption and impact the modules’throughput.Here,we report a modified near-infrared annealing(NIRA)process,which involves the excess PbI_(2)engineered crystallization,efficiently reduces the preparation time for perovskite active layer to within 20 s compared to dozens of min in conventional hot plate annealing(HPA)process.The study showed that the incorporated PbI_(2)promoted the consistent nucleation of the perovskite film,leading to the subsequent rapid and homogeneous crystallization at the NIRA stage.Thus,highly crystalized perovskite film was realized with even better crystallization performance than conventional HPA-based film.Ultimately,efficient perovskite solar modules of 36 and 100 cm^(2)were readily fabricated with the optimal PCEs of 22.03%and 20.18%,respectively.This study demonstrates,for the first time,the successful achievement of homogeneous and high-quality crystallization in large-area perovskite films through rapid NIRA processing.This approach not only significantly reduces energy consumption during production,but also substantially shortens the manufacturing cycle,paving a new path toward the commercial-scale application of perovskite solar modules.
