The research identifies key obstacles to income expansion, including an undiversified industrial structure, insufficient human capital, and a lack of robust social protection. These call for systemic solutions featuring institutional innovation, resource consolidation, and capability enhancement. Building on Zhejiang's experience as a common prosperity demonstration zone, the article constructs an integrated framework centered on four pillars: industrial empowerment, education upgrading, social security reinforcement, and digital coordination. It further offers concrete policy proposals involving the cultivation of localized industries, vocational skill training, enhanced safety nets, and the adoption of digital tools. The study thus offers both theoretical insights and practical paradigms for tackling the challenge of raising incomes in low-income rural areas.展开更多

文摘Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and energy crises,the resource utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),a major greenhouse gas,has become a crucial pathway for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.The hydrogenation of CO_(2)to methanol not only enables carbon sequestration and recycling,but also provides a route to produce high value-added fuels and basic chemical feedstocks,holding significant environmental and economic potential.However,this conversion process is thermodynamically and kinetically limited,and traditional catalyst systems(e.g.,Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3))exhibit inadequate activity,selectivity,and stability under mild conditions.Therefore,the development of novel high-performance catalysts with precisely tunable structures and functionalities is imperative.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as crystalline porous materials with high surface area,tunable pore structures,and diverse metal-ligand compositions,have the great potential in CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysis.Their structural design flexibility allows for the construction of well-dispersed active sites,tailored electronic environments,and enhanced metal-support interactions.This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in MOF-based and MOF-derived catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,focusing on four design strategies:(1)spatial confinement and in situ construction,(2)defect engineering and ion-exchange,(3)bimetallic synergy and hybrid structure design,and(4)MOF-derived nanomaterial synthesis.These approaches significantly improve CO_(2)conversion and methanol selectivity by optimizing metal dispersion,interfacial structures,and reaction pathways.The reaction mechanism is further explored by focusing on the three main reaction pathways:the formate pathway(HCOO*),the RWGS(Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction)+CO*hydrogenation pathway,and the trans-COOH pathway.In situ spectroscopic studies and density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate the formation and transformation of key intermediates,as well as the roles of active sites,metal-support interfaces,oxygen vacancies,and promoters.Additionally,representative catalytic performance data for MOFbased systems are compiled and compared,demonstrating their advantages over traditional catalysts in terms of CO_(2)conversion,methanol selectivity,and space-time yield.Future perspectives for MOF-based CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysts will prioritize two main directions:structural design and mechanistic understanding.The precise construction of active sites through multi-metallic synergy,defect engineering,and interfacial electronic modulation should be made to enhance catalyst selectivity and stability.In addition,advanced in situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical modeling are essential to unravel the detailed reaction mechanisms and intermediate behaviors,thereby guiding rational catalyst design.Moreover,to enable industrial application,challenges related to thermal/hydrothermal stability,catalyst recyclability,and cost-effective large-scale synthesis must be addressed.The development of green,scalable preparation methods and the integration of MOF catalysts into practical reaction systems(e.g.,flow reactors)will be crucial for bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment.Ultimately,multi-scale structure-performance optimization and catalytic system integration will be vital for accelerating the industrialization of MOF-based CO_(2)-to-methanol technologies.

文摘Probiotics can regulate the body’s immune system through both non-specific and specific immunity,thereby regulating host health.In terms of non-specific immune regulation,probiotics can activate the intrinsic immune system,regulate the mucosal barrier function,and play an immune role by influencing the activity of intrinsic immune cells such as macrophages,dendritic cells and natural killer cells,as well as their differentiation and maturation;in terms of specific immune regulation,probiotics play a role in regulating the immunoglobulin level and the maturation of B cells.Probiotics can also regulate T-cell differentiation according to the condition of the body,thus regulating specific immunity.Many studies have focused on the role of probiotics in metabolism and nutrition,and the mechanisms involved in the immunomodulatory role of probiotics have only been partially described.This review summarises the role of common probiotics such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus in immunomodulation as well as their mechanisms,describing the currently known mechanisms of immunomodulation by probiotics in improving the host immune system.A deeper understanding of probiotics and their specific mechanisms of action will facilitate the use of probiotics for immunomodulation in clinical medicine,functional foods,and other areas.This will also contribute to the development and research of engineered probiotics,next-generation probiotics,and other new functional probiotics with immunomodulatory effects.

文摘In electrochemical energy storage systems,the sodium-ion battery is typically integrated in the form of a“cell-module-cluster”,but its cross-scale thermal runaway triggering risk and the propagation mechanism remain unclear.This study reveals the cross-scale thermal runaway triggering and propagation behavior of sodium-ion batteries of“cell-module-cluster”under overcharge conditions,and investigates the effects of key factors,including module spacing,triggering cell location,and heat dissipation condition,on the thermal runaway propagation behavior.Results demonstrate that the thermal runaway propagation in a module containing the overcharged cell follows a sequential triggering mode,while thermal runaway in the downstream module exhibits a simultaneous triggering mode with greater severity.Furthermore,increasing the module spacing or enhancing the heat dissipation capacity can effectively reduce the heat accumulation and prevent the trigger of thermal runaway.On the above basis,the multi-dimensional evaluation strategy is proposed to quantitatively assess the hazard of sodium-ion battery cluster thermal runaway.The findings serve as a foundation for the safe design of sodium-ion batteries in energy storage systems.

文摘The growing volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)represents both an urgent environmental challenge and a critical resource opportunity,especially for cathode materials.Among commercial cathodes,LiFePO4(LFP)dominates the market due to its favorable properties;thus,a substantial amount of LFP cathode materials is expected to retire in the near future.The conventional hydrometallurgical method suffers from high costs and serious pollution.Direct regeneration technologies,especially solid-state sintering,provide a more efficient and environmentally benign alternative by repairing cathode structures through high-temperature solid-phase reactions without extra chemical reagents.Traditional solid-state sintering faces challenges in processing spent LFP from diverse sources,struggling to achieve the homogenization of physical–chemical properties and electrochemical performance.To address the limitations above,phase homogenization with a lattice reconstruction strategy has been investigated,which can enable effective lattice reconstruction and microstructural homogenization,demonstrating robust adaptability to spent samples from variable sources.This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms,detailed steps,characterization techniques,and advances in pre-oxidation optimization(including ion-doping and coated carbon layer modification),as well as future research directions for sustainable LFP recycling.Given this,this review is expected to offer theoretical guidance for achieving homogeneous regeneration of LFP cathode.

文摘To achieve high strength in Ni-Co-based wrought superalloys,cold-rolling was introduced into the solution and aging treatments.The alloys were characterized and tested using EBSD,SEM,TEM,and tensile tester to analyze their microstructure and mechanical properties at different temperatures,revealing their strengthening and deformation mechanisms.Results indicated that after solution,cold-rolling,and double aging,the alloy contained high-density dislocations,stacking faults,Lomer-Cottrell locks,and nanotwins.The yield strengths of the alloy at room temperature,923,and 1023 K were 1855,1406,and 1086 MPa,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of typical Ni-based wrought superalloys.This enhancement was primarily attributed to the dislocations and nanotwins.Additionally,during the cold-rolling process,plastic deformation mainly occurred through dislocation slip.With the temperature increasing to 923 and 1023 K,the main deformation mechanisms of the alloy transformed to stacking faults and nanotwins,respectively.

文摘Pyrethroids are a class of novel broad-spectrum pesticides synthesized to mimic natural pyrethrins.Due to their high efficiency,low toxicity,and safety,pyrethroids have been widely used as alternatives to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides in the control of agricultural and sanitary pests.However,with the increasing use of pyrethroid pesticides,the resulting pesticide residues have posed threats to both the environment and human health.Biodegradation is considered one of the most promising methods for the removal of pyrethroids,and significant research has been conducted in this area.This review summarizes recent advances in the biodegradation of pyrethroids,including degradation by single strains,microbial consortia,and enzymes.It provides an in-depth analysis of the biodegradation pathways and catalytic mechanisms involved in the degradation of pyrethroids and outlines enhancement strategies for improving the activity of pyrethroid-degrading enzymes.The review also identifies current challenges in pyrethroid biodegradation and offers perspectives for future research.This review serves as a valuable reference for subsequent studies on pyrethroid biodegradation.

文摘UHMWPE(Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)plain-weave fabric,characterized by its lightweight and high-strength properties,is widely used in protective equipment such as bulletproof vests and stab-resistant vests,serving as a key material for enhancing protective performance.This study systematically investigates the influence mechanism of interfacial properties on the energy absorption characteristics of UHMWPE-based protective structures through multi-scale experiments and numerical simulations,and establishes a cross-scale design methodology.Innovatively,an orthotropic constitutive model incorporating dynamic friction coefficients is constructed,combined with a modified Johnson-Cook failure criterion,to achieve high-precision simulation of the entire ballistic impact process(error<3.5%).Additionally,a friction field prediction model considering strain rate effects is developed,and the friction evolution laws of UHMWPE and Para-aramid(Kevlar)fabrics under strain rates of 10^(−3) and 10^(−4) s^(−1) are obtained through MTS pull-out tests.The results show that:(1)there exists a critical yarn-yarn friction coefficient(μ=0.2);exceeding this value leads to a 19%reduction in energy absorption capacity,while viscous interfaces increase the energy dissipation peak by 16%;(2)UHMWPE shows kinetically-dominated absorption(58%)with high rate but high load,increasing damage risk.Para-aramid has friction-dominated absorption(53%)with a lower rate but stable load.Hybrid fabrics use potential-dominated absorption(49%)at a moderate rate,balancing stability and protection.(3)3–5 layers of UHMWPE fabric yield optimal cost-effectiveness,with the unit cost reduction rate of the HS+5U scheme reaching 2.74 m/(s·$),which is 91%higher than that of the hybrid scheme.(4)For HS+5U(5-ply UHMWPE),V50 is 520 m/s,meeting primary protection requirement.For hybrid solutions with U/K≥3(e.g.,HS+6U+2K),V50 reaches 580 m/s(≥540 m/s),satisfying advanced protection requirement.This research provides critical references for the design of flexible protective structures and their engineering applications.

文摘Conglomerate rock's complex and heterogeneous microstructure significantly affects its mechanical properties,especially under dynamic loading.However,research on their dynamic behavior and fracture mechanisms is limited.Through uniaxial compression tests and split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)impact tests,the dynamic compressive mechanical properties and fracture mechanisms of conglomerate rock were studied.Nanoindentation and high-resolution X-ray computed tomography were employed to analyze the micro-mechanical behavior and internal structure of the conglomerate rock.Results indicate significant differences in mechanical properties between different gravel particles and cementing materials,with initial fractures primarily distributed at the gravel-cement interfaces.The dynamic mechanical properties of conglomerate rocks exhibit a clear strain rate dependency.Based on the stress−strain curves and failure characteristics,the dynamic compressive mechanical behavior can be categorized into two types using a critical strain rate.The dynamic compressive strength,peak strain,and toughness of conglomerate rock increased with the strain rate,with the strength at 54 s−1 being 2.6 times that at 6 s−1.The dynamic compressive fracture mechanism of conglomerate rock is related to the strain rate and microstructure;at low strain rates,gravel distribution is the key factor,whereas at high strain rates,gravel content becomes critical.

文摘The Mianhuakeng uranium deposit,characterized by uranium-rich granite,serves as a key site for research into crustal radioactive heating.Based on 45 rock samples,this study reviews that the host granite in the Mianhuakeng uranium deposit has a high radioactive heat production rate(avg.5.50μW/m³)and a low Th/U ratio(avg.2.62).Uranium-rich granite and its alteration zone within the upper crust(0-5 km depth)contribute about 45%of the total radioactive heat production,wich is crucial for controlling geothermal resource distribution.For uranium-thermal at tectonic plate margins,a symbiotic geological model was proposed:Firstly,subduction of the Pacific Plate caused upwelling of the asthenosphere,generating a high heat-flow background.Secondly,heat transfer is enhanced by major faults such as the Youdong and Mianhuakeng faults.Subsequently,uranium was mobilized,transported,and enriched within the granite through deep siliceous hydrothermal activity and associated alteration.Ultimately,the uranium enrichment in granite leads to increased radioactive heat production,resulting in local thermal anomalies.This model provides a theoretical support for exploring and developing uranium-thermal symbiotic resources in South China.

文摘High-resolution remote sensing imagery is essential for critical applications such as precision agriculture,urban management planning,and military reconnaissance.Although significant progress has been made in singleimage super-resolution(SISR)using generative adversarial networks(GANs),existing approaches still face challenges in recovering high-frequency details,effectively utilizing features,maintaining structural integrity,and ensuring training stability—particularly when dealing with the complex textures characteristic of remote sensing imagery.To address these limitations,this paper proposes the Improved ResidualModule and AttentionMechanism Network(IRMANet),a novel architecture specifically designed for remote sensing image reconstruction.IRMANet builds upon the Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)framework and introduces several key innovations.First,the Enhanced Residual Unit(ERU)enhances feature reuse and stabilizes training through deep residual connections.Second,the Self-Attention Residual Block(SARB)incorporates a self-attentionmechanism into the Improved Residual Module(IRM)to effectivelymodel long-range dependencies and automatically emphasize salient features.Additionally,the IRM adopts amulti-scale feature fusion strategy to facilitate synergistic interactions between local detail and global semantic information.The effectiveness of each component is validated through ablation studies,while comprehensive comparative experiments on standard remote sensing datasets demonstrate that IRMANet significantly outperforms both the baseline and state-of-the-art methods in terms of perceptual quality and quantitative metrics.Specifically,compared to the baseline model,at a magnification factor of 2,IRMANet achieves an improvement of 0.24 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and 0.54 in structural similarity index(SSIM);at a magnification factor of 4,it achieves gains of 0.22 dB in PSNR and 0.51 in SSIM.These results confirm that the proposedmethod effectively enhances detail representation and structural reconstruction accuracy in complex remote sensing scenarios,offering robust technical support for high-precision detection and identification of both military and civilian aircraft.

文摘SiCp-reinforced 6092Al composites with volume fractions of 25%and 60%were prepared using a powder metallurgy method.Their friction and wear characteristics were analyzed using a reciprocating friction and wear testing machine under loads of 20 to 50 N against YG6 cemented carbide.The experimental results show that the friction coefficients of all samples increase with increasing load.The 25vol%composite exhibits the lowest friction coefficient(0.1669-0.2716),while the 60vol%composite exhibits the highest(0.3237-0.3990),with the 6092 aluminum alloy falling between the two.The wear volume and specific wear rate also increase with load,but the composites with a higher Si C content demonstrate smaller increments,with the 60vol%composite exhibiting superior wear resistance.Under a 30 N load,the wear scars of the 60vol%composite show a significant increase in the contents of elements such as C,Co,W,and O,indicating more severe wear of the counterpart material.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)reveals wear mechanisms including adhesive wear,two-body sliding and three-body rolling wear of particles,and delamination.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of blood-letting cupping combined with manual lymphatic drainage in treating breast cancer-related lymphedema(BCRL)and explore its mechanism of action from both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical perspectives,providing a scientific basis and novel therapeutic approaches for clinical management of BCRL.Methods:Patients with BCRL admitted to the outpatient and inpatient departments of Hebei University Affiliated Hospital were enrolled.A prospective randomized controlled trial design was adopted,with eligible patients randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group.The control group received manual lymphatic drainage alone,while the treatment group received manual lymphtic drainage combined with blood-letting cupping therapy.Posttreatment comparisons evaluated upper limb circumference reduction,edema severity grading,and upper limb functional scores.Vital signs and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded for both groups.Statistical software analyzed the data.Results:The treatment group demonstrated significantly greater reduction in upper limb circumference,improvement in edema severity,and higher upper limb function scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Vital signs remained stable throughout treatment in both groups.No severe adverse reactions occurred in the treatment group;only isolated cases of mild skin itching were reported,which resolved after symptomatic management.Conclusion:The combination of bloodletting cupping and manual lymphatic drainage demonstrates reliable efficacy in treating BCRL,effectively alleviating edema symptoms and improving upper limb function with high safety.Its mechanism may relate to traditional Chinese medicine principles of“unblocking meridians,promoting blood circulation,and resolving stasis”and modern medical concepts of“enhancing local blood circulation,facilitating lymphatic drainage,and reducing inflammatory responses”.
文摘Taking the rural low-income population of Zhejiang Province as its subject, this paper examines how to build a sustainable income-growth mechanism and identify feasible implementation paths within the context of the common prosperity strategy. The research identifies key obstacles to income expansion, including an undiversified industrial structure, insufficient human capital, and a lack of robust social protection. These call for systemic solutions featuring institutional innovation, resource consolidation, and capability enhancement. Building on Zhejiang's experience as a common prosperity demonstration zone, the article constructs an integrated framework centered on four pillars: industrial empowerment, education upgrading, social security reinforcement, and digital coordination. It further offers concrete policy proposals involving the cultivation of localized industries, vocational skill training, enhanced safety nets, and the adoption of digital tools. The study thus offers both theoretical insights and practical paradigms for tackling the challenge of raising incomes in low-income rural areas.

文摘Soft clay treatment with all industrial by-product(IBP)binder has great economic and environmental benefits,yet its geomechanics and mechanisms still need to be well probed.With the activation by calcium carbide residue(CCR)and phosphogypsum(PG),the strength,structure,and mechanisms of soft clay treated by aluminosilicate-rich IBP(AS-IBP,such as ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS),fly ash(FA),coal gangue(CG),Bayer red mud(BR),and sintered red mud(SR))are comparatively investigated.The strength characteristics of solidified clay exhibit significant differences as AS-IBP changes.When GGBS is adopted,the strength is sensitive to the change in PG content,while the impact of CCR is insignificant.After 90 d,the strength of the optimal sample(G23)reaches 1.40 MPa,35.9%higher than cement solidified clay(CSC),while that achieved by other AS-IBPs is less than 0.3 MPa.In the compression test,the structure's evolutionary trend of G23 has a sudden change as the strength increases from 1.81 MPa to 2.29 MPa,suggesting the transformation in material properties.Besides,the structure of G23 is stronger than CSC,which contributes more to the compressive performance.The total amount of main products(C-S-H and ettringite)of all-IBP solidified clay determines the strength,and ettringite is only significant when calcium-rich AS-IBP is adopted.The total amount of minor products(C-A-H and C-A-S-H)is similar for different samples,equivalent to 28.9%-46.3%of the main products.The relationship between the strength and the product amount can be presented using an exponential function.

文摘Cold deformation treatment of Cu-bearing stainless steel through a cold rolling process combined with electric pulse treatment(EPT)can significantly improve the microstructure and formability of cold-rolled Cu-bearing stainless steel.The microstructure after EPT was characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and in-situ tensile testing.It is found that compared with conventional heat treatment,EPT process can significantly promote the nucleation rate and mobility at grain boundaries of the deformed samples,greatly accelerating the recovery and static recrystallization of Cu-bearing stainless steel samples at lower temperatures and contributing to the recovery of anisotropy and the re-molding of deformed samples.Microstructural characterization and theoretical analyses show that the rapid recrystallization during EPT process is caused not only by Joule heating effects but also by non-thermal effects that accelerate grain boundary migration and dislocation destruction and regeneration.In addition,EPT process significantly accelerated the nucleation and precipitation growth of Cu-rich phase.The coarsening of Cu-rich phase during EPT process is due to not only the high vacancy diffusion coefficient under the action of the electric pulse but also the increase in the vacancy diffusion flux induced by the electromigration in the process of the electric pulse.
