文摘Developing an efficient photocatalyst is the key to realize the practical application of photocatalysis.The S-scheme heterojunction has great potential in photocatalysis due to its unique charge-carrier migration pathway,effective light absorption and high redox capacity.However,further enhancing the built-in electric field of the S-scheme,accelerating carrier separation,and achieving higher photocatalytic performance remain unresolved challenges.Herein,based on the continuously adjustable band structure of continuous solid-solution,a novel 0D/2D all solid-solution S-scheme heterojunction with adjustable internal electric field was designed and fabricated by employing a solid-solution of ZnxCd_(1–x)S and Bi_(2)MoyW_(1–y)O_(6)respectively as reduction and oxidation semiconductors.The synergistic optimization of effective light absorption,fast photogenerated carrier separation,and high redox potential leads can be tuned to promote photocatalytic activity.Under visible light,the S-scheme system constructed by Zn_(0.4)Cd_(0.6)S quantum dot(QDs)and Bi_(2)Mo_(0.2)W_(0.8)O_(6)monolayer exhibits a high rate for photocatalytic degradation C_(2)H_(4)(150.6×10^(–3)min^(–1)),which is 16.5 times higher than that of pure Zn_(0.4)Cd_(0.6)S(9.1×10^(–3)min^(–1))and 53.8 times higher than pure Bi_(2)Mo_(0.2)W_(0.8)O_(6)(2.8×10^(–3)min^(–1)).Due to the unique charge-carrier migration pathway,photo-corrosion of Zn_(x)Cd_(1–x)S is further inhibited simultaneously.In-situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,photoluminescence spectroscopy,time-resolved photoluminescence,transient absorption spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance provide compelling evidence for interfacial charge transfer via S-scheme pathways,while in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy identifies the reaction pathway for C_(2)H_(4)degradation.This novel S-scheme photocatalysts demonstrates excellent performance and potential for the practical application of the fruits and vegetables preservation at room temperatures.

文摘We use a high-resolution numerical simulation to analyze the generation and evolution of semidiurnal internal tides in the Weddell-Scotia Confluence.Our results indicate that two ridges near the Antarctic Peninsula,the South Scotia Ridge(SSR)and the Philip Ridge(PR),are energetic sources of semidiurnal internal tides.The strongest semidiurnal barotropic to baroclinic energy conversion occurs around the crest of the SSR,reaching 0.3 W/m^(2).The depthintegrated,tidally averaged semidiurnal internal tide energy fluxes that radiated from the SSR reach about 2 kW/m.The northward semidiurnal internal tide energy fluxes entering the Scotia Sea are stronger than the southward energy fluxes entering the Powell Basin.For the SSR region between the South Orkney Plateau and Elephant Island,the areaintegrated barotropic to baroclinic conversion rate is 0.71 GW,of which 0.56 GW(79%)dissipates locally.The dissipation of internal tides occurs mainly in water depths of less than 1000 m.The dissipation rate over the SSR is as high as 10−7 W/kg.The energy fluxes create an anticlockwise gyre between the SSR and PR.The horizontal kinetic energy and available potential energy oscillate sinusoidally with peaks occurring at quarter-wavelength intervals.This energy pattern suggests the formation of standing waves due to interference between the semidiurnal internal tides originating from the SSR and PR.The results of this study show that internal tides and related mixing need to be considered in the analysis of water mass transformation in the Southern Ocean.
文摘Migration is a complex demographic phenomenon.Its dynamics can be explained by several factors whose spatial and temporal evolution is not easy to control.That is why this article aims to understand the factors of migration from a spatiotemporal perspective to fill the gaps in the literature.The aim of this article is to analyse the spatiotemporal dynamics of internal migration factors to deduce the zones of origin and destination in Burkina Faso.To do this,several types of data were used.These included secondary,spatial,statistical and survey data.The results of this study show that the influence of internal migration factors is uneven.The spatial distribution of internal migration factors follows a north-south gradient,with favourable conditions in the south.In fact,the northern part is characterised by a large population exodus,with around 42.6%of outgoing internal migrants,and the southern part by a large population influx.This southern part of the country receives around 34.6%of internal migrants.The areas from which migrants depart have unfavourable climatic,environmental,or socio-economic conditions,whereas the areas to which migrants migrate are characterised by favourable conditions for these factors.

文摘The effects of internals on liquid mixing and gas-liquid mass transfer have rarely been investigated in bubble columns,and the commonly used measurement method overestimates significantly overall gas holdup.Firstly,gas holdup measurement method is improved by conducting multi-point liquid level measurement and using net fluid volume instead of bed volume to calculate gas holdup.Then,a stable conductivity method for liquid macromixing has been established by shielding large bubbles using#16nylon mesh.Subsequently,the influences of internal coverage(=12.6%,18.9% and 25.1%) on macroscopic fluid dynamics in a bubble column with a free wall area are systematically investigated.It is found that the presence of internals has a notable effect on macroscopic fluid dynamics.The overall gas holdup and gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient decrease,and the macromixing time decreases with the increase of internal cross-sectional area coverage.These are mainly caused by the uneven distribution of airflow due to the low resistance in the free wall area.This design makes maintenance easier,but in reality,the reactor performance has decreased.Further improvements will be made to the reactor performance based on such a configuration through flow guidance using baffles.

文摘Ocean mixing is a consequence of essential dynamic processes such as internal tides and lee waves that occur near the seafloor topography.Internal tides and lee waves are generated by barotropic tidal currents and geostrophic flows,respectively.Ocean current is composed of multiple flows;thus,internal tides and lee waves occur concurrently in the real ocean.In this paper,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model(MITgcm)is used to conduct 2D numerical experiments.By varying background flow intensities,the energy and dissipation relationship between internal tides and lee waves are investigated.The results reveal that the internal tide beams become asymmetric due to the influence of Doppler shift.The lee wave structure gradually leads the wave field when the background flow velocity rises constantly.The presence of a background flow increases the energy portion of the high-mode wave by up to 15%-20%.Moreover,strong shear,owing to the background flow,considerably increases dissipation.When the background flow velocity is higher than the barotropic tidal current velocity,the isopycnal overturn triggered by the lee wave generates a dissipation of the same order of magnitude as the shear.

文摘In the Arctic Ocean,turbulent mixing drives vertical heat flux,thereby affecting the sea ice variability.Internal wave is regarded as one of the important energy sources of mixing in this region.The high latitude and sea ice cover make internal wave in the Arctic Ocean apparently differs from that in mid-and low-latitude oceans.However,the internal wave and its underlying mechanism are less understood due to the lack of observations.This paper briefly reviews the recent studies and unresolved questions on the internal wave in the Arctic Ocean,including wind-driven near-inertial wave,internal tide,and high-frequency internal wave.The aim is to provide new insights for in-depth research in the future,with a focus on the mechanisms responsible for the evolution of internal wave under the rapidly changing Arctic climate.

文摘Periodic isolator is well known for its wave filtering characteristic.While in middle and high frequencies,the internal resonances of the periodic isolator are evident especially when damping is small.This study proposes a novel aperiodic vibration isolation for improving the internal resonances control of the periodic isolator.The mechanism of the internal resonances control by the aperiodic isolator is firstly explained.For comparing the internal resonances suppression effect of the aperiodic isolator with the periodic isolator,a dynamic model combing the rigid machine,the isolator,and the flexible plate is derived through multi subsystem modeling method and transfer matrix method,whose accuracy is verified through the finite element method.The influences of the aperiodicity and damping of the isolator on the vibration isolation performance and internal resonances suppression effect are investigated by numerical analysis.The numerical results demonstrate that vibration attenuation performances of the periodic isolator and aperiodic isolator are greatly over than that of the continuous isolator in middle and high frequencies.The aperiodic isolator opens the stop bandgaps comparing with the periodic isolator where the pass bandgaps are periodically existed.The damping of the isolator has the stop bandgap widening effect on both the periodic isolator and the aperiodic isolator.In addition,a parameter optimization algorithm of the aperiodic isolator is presented for improving the internal resonances control effect.It is shown that the vibration peaks within the target frequency band of the aperiodic isolator are effectively reduced after the optimization.Finally,the experiments of the three different vibration isolation systems are conducted for verifying the analysis work.

文摘Modern industrial equipment is increasingly characterized by miniaturization,integration,and high performance,necessitating the production of complex structural parts with exceptionally high internal surface quality.Direct manufacturing often leads to high internal surface roughness,which traditional finishing and measuring methods cannot adequately address due to the decreasing size and increasing complexity of internal structures.This is especially true for components like pipes with large aspect ratios,extremely small deep holes,multi-stage bends,cross pipes,and array holes.To meet the high-performance manufacturing demands of these parts,advanced internal surface finishing and roughness measurement technologies have gained significant attention.This review focuses on the challenges and solutions related to internal surface parts with various apertures and complex structures.Internal surface finishing methods are categorized into mechanical finishing,fluid-based finishing,and energy-field-based finishing based on their characteristics.Roughness measurement technologies are divided into tool-probing and non-probing methods.The principles,required equipment,and key parameters of each finishing and measurement approach are discussed in detail.Additionally,the advantages and limitations of these methods are summarized,and future trends are forecasted.This paper serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers and engineers aiming to enhance the internal surface quality of complex structure parts.
文摘To compare the clinical efficacy of locking plate(LP)fixation and intramedullary nail(IMN)fixation for the treatment of post-traumatic nonunion of diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia.Methods:This single-center retrospective comparative study included 50 adult patients with aseptic nonunion of femoral or tibial diaphyseal fractures treated at our institution between January 2015 and January 2025.Patients underwent either locking-plate(LP)fixation(n=25)or intramedullary nailing(IMN)(n=25).The primary outcome was radiographic union at 12 months postoperatively.Secondary outcomes included time to union,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,length of hospital stay,incidence of complications(superficial/deep infection,implant failure,malunion),and 12-month functional status assessed by the Lower Extremity Functional Scale(LEFS).Statistical comparisons used Welch t tests for continuous variables and χ^(2) or Fisher exact tests for categorical variables.The protocol received institutional review board approval with waiver of informed consent.Results:Among 50 patients(LP=25;IMN=25),the 12-month union rate was 88.00%(22/25)in the LP group and 96.00%(24/25)in the IMN group(p=0.609).Time to union was shorter with IMN(6.20±1.83 vs 7.51±2.12 months;p=0.023).Operative time(110.52±25.23 vs 145.81±30.21 min;p<0.01)and intraoperative blood loss(250.41±80.64 vs 350.22±95.30 ml;p<0.01)favored IMN.Length of hospital stay was similar(6.24±1.83 vs 6.82±2.11 days;p=0.284).The incidence of superficial wound infection did not differ significantly(12.00%vs 4.00%;p=0.609).Twelve-month LEFS scores were comparable(65.44±10.21 vs 67.10±9.83;p=0.451).Conclusion:Both locking plate and intramedullary nail fixation are effective in the treatment of femoral and tibial nonunion,with high rates of union and good functional outcomes.Intramedullary nailing may be associated with a shorter time to union,reduced operative time and blood loss,and a lower risk of superficial wound infection compared to locking plate fixation.The choice of implant should be individualized based on fracture characteristics,patient factors,and surgeon preference.

文摘Nonlinear internal waves(NLIWs)exhibit robust dynamic submesoscale motions,connecting large-scale tides to smallscale shear instabilities in the ocean.Previous studies have mainly focused on their generation mechanisms and evolution along their paths.Considering their global distribution resulting from the primary origin in tide-topography interaction,there is an increasing cross-disciplinary interest in understanding how these energetic and ubiquitous NLIWs contribute to sediment redistribution in the ocean.This paper presents fundamental theories on NLIWs and comprehensively reviews triggering mechanisms,different types of instability,and sediment responses by summarizing recent theoretical parameterizations,numerical simulations,laboratory experiments,and in-situ observations.We specifically focus on elucidating various types of instability along with their impact on sediment dynamic processes.Finally,we outline several unresolved issues that require further exploration for a quantitative investigation into NLIWinduced sediment transfer in the ocean.
文摘BACKGROUND Internal mammary(IM)lymphadenopathies in breast cancer indicate a worse prognosis than axillary metastases,yet they are rarely assessed.Accurate staging is essential for treatment planning.Robotic biopsy offers a promising alternative to video-assisted thoracic surgery for precise histological sampling.This article outlines a systematic robot-assisted dissection approach to enhance staging accuracy and optimize breast cancer management.CASE SUMMARY At our institution,robotic lymphadenectomy of the IM chain was performed in 5 patients between July 2020 and December 2024.Patients were positioned in a 30°semi-supine position with a roll under the shoulder to elevate the chest.The camera port was inserted in the fifth intercostal space along the mid-axillary line,allowing a 0°,12 mm robotic camera to inspect the chest cavity;CO_(2) insufflation(8 L/minute,8-10 mmHg)facilitated lung collapse and pneumo-mediastinum formation for improved dissection.Under direct vision,two additional operative ports were placed:One in the third intercostal space(anterior axillary line)and another in the fifth intercostal space(3-4 cm lateral to the parasternal line).The mean operative time was 118 minutes,with a median hospital stay of two days.No major complications occurred.Histology confirmed breast carcinoma metas tases in three patients,while two had benign disease.CONCLUSION Robotic biopsy of IM lymph nodes is safe,feasible,and provides key information on breast cancer management,with very rare contraindications.
