METHODS: The MILLIPLEX? MAP Human Circulating Cancer Biomarker Magnetic Bead Panel 1 comprises the tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, total prostate-specific antigen, cancer antigen 15-3, cancer antigen 19-9, cancer antigen 125, cytokeratine 19-fragment, β-human chorionic gonadotropin, human epididymis protein 4, osteopontin, prolactin, the cell death and angiogenesis markers soluble Fas, soluble Fas-ligand, tumor necrosis factor related apoptosisinducing ligand, vascular endothelial growth factor andthe immunological markers interleukin-6(IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor α, fibroblast growth factor-2, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, leptin, hepatocyte growth factor, and stem cell factor. We determined intra- and inter-assay imprecision as well as dilution linearity using quality controls and serum pools. Furthermore, the stability of the 24 biomarkers examined in this panel was ascertained by testing the influence of different storage temperatures and time span before centrifugation.RESULTS: For all markers measured in the synthetic internal quality controls, the intra-assay imprecision ranged between 2.26% and 9.41%, while for 20 of 24 measured markers in the physiological serum pools, it ranged between 1.68% and 12.87%. The inter-assay imprecision ranged between 1.48%-17.12% for 23 biomarkers in synthetic, and between 4.59%-23.88% for 18 biomarkers in physiological quality controls. Here, single markers with very low concentration levels had increased imprecision rates. Dilution linearity was acceptable(70%-130% recovery) for 20 biomarkers. Regarding pre-analytical influencing factors, most markers were stable if blood centrifugation was delayed or if serum was stored for up to 24 h at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ after centrifugation. Comparable results were obtained in serum and plasma for most markers. However, great changes were observed for single markers.CONCLUSION: MILLIPLEX? MAP Human Circulating Cancer Biomarker Magnetic Bead Panel 1 assay is a stable and precise method for detection of most biomarkers included in the kit. However, single markers have to be interpreted with care.展开更多

文摘In this study,a straightforward one-step hydrothermal method was successfully utilized to synthesize the solid solution Na_(0.9)Mg_(0.45)Ti_(3.55)O_(8)-Na_(2)Ni_(2)Ti_(6)O_(16)(NNMTO-x),where x denotes the molar percentage of Na_(2)Ni_(2)Ti_(6)O_(16)(NNTO)within Na_(0.9)Mg_(0.45)Ti_(3.55)O_(8)(NMTO),with x values of 10,20,30,40,and 50.Both XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)and EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy)analyses unequivocally validated the formation of the NNMTO-x solid solutions.It was observed that when x is below 40,the NNMTO-x solid solution retains the structural characteristics of the original NMTO.However,beyond this threshold,significant alterations in crystal morphology were noted,accompanied by a noticeable decline in photocatalytic activity.Notably,the absorption edge of NNMTO-x(x<40)exhibited a shift towards the visible-light spectrum,thereby substantially broadening the absorption range.The findings highlight that NNMTO-30 possesses the most pronounced photocatalytic activity for the reduction of CO_(2).Specifically,after a 6 h irradiation period,the production rates of CO and CH_(4)were recorded at 42.38 and 1.47μmol/g,respectively.This investigation provides pivotal insights that are instrumental in the advancement of highly efficient and stable photocatalysts tailored for CO_(2)reduction processes.
文摘Nonlinear Rossby waves are used to describe typical wave phenomena in large-scale atmosphere andocean.Owing to the nonlinearity of the involved problems,the weakly nonlinear method,ie the derivative ex-pansion method,was mainly used to investigate Rossby waves under the combined effects of the generalizedβ-effect and the basic flow effect.The derivative expansion method has the advantage of capturing the multi-scalecharacteristics of wave processes simultaneously.In the case where the perturbation expansion is independentof secular terms,the nonlinear equations describing the amplitude evolution of nonlinear waves were derived,such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation,the Boussinesq equation and Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.Both quali-tative and quantitative analyses indicate that the generalizedβ-effect is the key factor inducing the evolution ofRossby solitary waves.

文摘Graphene/copper-based composite heat sinks demonstrate extensive application potential in military equipment thermal management,high-power electronic packaging,new energy vehicles,and 5G communication systems,due to their outstanding properties,including high thermal conductivity,tunable thermal expansion coefficients,excellent mechanical strength,and low density.However,the industrial-scale application of these composites faces critical challenges during the fabrication of components with complex structures,such as inhomogeneous dispersion of graphene within the copper matrix and poor interfacial bonding between the two phases,which substantially undermine the overall performance of graphene/copper-based composites.To address these issues,the preparation methods for graphene/copper-based composite heat sinks were reviewed.For each method,a rigorous analysis was presented to clarify its inherent advantages and unavoidable restrictions.Furthermore,the latest research progress in addressing three core scientific challenges was synthesized,including uniform dispersion of graphene,interfacial optimization mechanisms,and molecular dynamics simulations for elucidating the structure-property relationships.Finally,the future development directions of graphene/copper-based composite heat sinks in engineering applications were prospected.
文摘A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method was developed for the direct determination of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)in sturgeon caviar extract.The assay employed n-hexane extraction combined with gradient elution(ZORBAX SB-C18 column),with data collected using a diode array detector.The content was calculated by external standard method and validated against the national standard(GB 5009.168-2016).The study also measured DPPH free radical scavenging capacity and moisture retention rate across different DHA concentration groups.The results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits excellent linearity(r=0.9997),with recovery rates ranging from 92.1% to 101.1% and relative standard deviations(RSD)of 2.23% to 3.92%.Compared to the national standard method,the relative deviation was 0.67% to 1.68%.At specific test concentrations,the high-DHA group shows significantly higher moisture retention(100.48%),hygroscopicity(100.85%),and DPPH scavenging efficiency(57.46%)than the low-DHA group(10.33%,11.76%,and 3.71%).The RP-HPLC method developed in this study simplifies DHA detection procedures with simple reagents and reliable results,making it suitable for rapid qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of target components in caviar extract quality control.The DPPH experiment further reveals the correlation between DHA content and antioxidant efficacy in sturgeon caviar extracts,providing scientific evidence for developing functional cosmetics.

文摘The multi-satellite electromagnetic formation flight system is nonlinear and strongly coupled,which makes modeling and optimization challenging.To simplify electromagnetic force evaluation and dynamics modeling,we introduce a reference frame consistent with each satellite body frame,in which the electromagnetic dipoles and electromagnetic forces are represented as two-dimensional vectors.Then,the maneuver time is divided into time intervals,and different satellite sets are activated in each interval,converting the multi-satellite formation reconfiguration problem into an optimal trajectory problem of each two-satellite subsystem.To this end,a token-based dynamic programming method with a switching penalty of active satellite sets is proposed to determine the sequence of satellite sets participating in each time interval,thereby enabling all satellites to reach their desired states.For the two-satellite subsystem with the objectives of minimizing maneuver time and energy consumption,the Gauss pseudo-spectral method is employed to generate the optimal reconfiguration trajectory.Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method.

文摘The key parameters that characterize the morphological quality of multi-layer and multi-pass metal laser deposited parts are the surface roughness and the error between the actual printing height and the theoretical model height.The Taguchi method was employed to establish the correlations between process parameter combinations and multi-objective characterization of metal deposition morphology(height error and roughness).Results show that using the signal-to-noise ratio and grey relational analysis,the optimal parameter combination for multi-layer and multi-pass deposition is determined as follows:laser power of 800 W,powder feeding rate of 0.3 r/min,step distance of 1.6 mm,and scanning speed of 20 mm/s.Subsequently,a Genetic Bayesian-back propagation(GB-BP)network is constructed to predict multi-objective responses.Compared with the traditional back propagation network,the GB-back propagation network improves the prediction accuracy of height error and surface roughness by 43.14%and 71.43%,respectively.This network can accurately predict the multi-objective characterization of morphological quality of multi-layer and multi-pass metal deposited parts.

文摘This study systematically conducted preparation optimization and performance investigations on Co-modified Ce/TiO_(2) catalysts,with a focus on examining how preparation methods and Co loading regulate the catalyst’s low-temperature denitrification activity.After identifying optimal preparation parameters via condition screening,multiple characterization techniques-including BET,XRD,XPS,H_(2)-TPR and in situ DRIFTS-were employed to deeply analyze the catalyst’s physicochemical properties and reaction mechanism.Results demonstrated that compared to the impregnation and co-precipitation methods,the Ce-Co_(0.025)/TiO_(2)-SG catalyst(prepared by the sol-gel method with a Co/Ti mass ratio of 0.025)exhibited significantly superior denitrification activity:NO conversion remained stably above 95%in the 225−350℃ temperature range,and it displayed high N_(2) selectivity.Characterization analysis revealed that abundant surface oxygen vacancies,a high proportion of Ce^(3+) species,and prominent acidic sites collectively contributed to enhancing its low-temperature denitrification performance.This work provides reference value for the development of highly efficient low-temperature denitrification catalysts.
文摘Due to the high efficiency,no pollution,fuel flexibility and high temperature,solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)is expected to be applied in aeronautical hybrid power system.In this paper,a 3D mesoscopic mod⁃el was established for SOFC heterogeneous anode.The microstructure of Ni and gadolinium-doped ceria(GDC)anode was generated via Quartet Structure Generation Set(QSGS)method.The mesoscopic model of mass trans⁃fer,charge transfer and reacting flow was built based on lattice Boltzmann method(LBM).The simulation results agreed with the experimental data from reference under 650℃and 0.1 MPa.Meanwhile,the influence of leakage current on open circuit voltage cannot be ignored,which indicates the necessity of adding electron barrier layer.Higher inlet pressure was simulated in order to predict the performance under aeronautical conditions,which shows significant benefit for the performance.The reaction current density increases by 59%,107%and 147%for inlet pressure of 0.2 MPa,0.3 MPa and 0.4 MPa under polarization of 0.161 V.The reaction current shows a significant nonlinear distribution along the thickness direction,and the current density increases faster near the electrolyte.Under the same total polarization,the activation polarization decreases with the increase of inlet pres⁃sure,while the ohmic polarization is opposite.
文摘The Ni/SBA-15 catalysts were synthesized using the in situ method and the influence of crystallization temperature on nickel utilization efficiency-a critical factor in mesoporous material design-was systematically investigated.The structural characteristics and nickel anchoring capacity were analyzed using XRD,BET,FT-IR,H2-TPR,and ICP-OES.The results demonstrated that the crystallization temperature significantly affected the framework order of SBA-15 and the surface anchoring efficiency of Ni ions.The nickel utilization efficiency increased from 8.4%at 80℃to 60.49%at 140℃,but then decreased to 47.25%at 160℃,indicating an optimal crystallization temperature window.This provides crucial guidance for tailoring high-performance metal-doped molecular sieves.The optimal catalyst exhibited excellent performance in the hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol(BYD):the BYD conversion reached 97.25%with 88.99%selectivity of 1,4-butenediol(BED)within 5 h,and reached 99.73%with 87.34%selectivity of 1,4-butanediol(BDO)after 20 h reaction.These results revealed the critical role of crystallization temperature in metal utilization and provided theoretical support for designing highly active molecular sieve catalysts.
文摘In modern ZnO varistors,traditional aging mechanisms based on increased power consumption are no longer relevant due to reduced power consumption during DC aging.Prolonged exposure to both AC and DC voltages results in increased leakage current,decreased breakdown voltage,and lower nonlinearity,ultimately compromising their protective performance.To investigate the evolution in electrical properties during DC aging,this work developed a finite element model based on Voronoi networks and conducted accelerated aging tests on commercial varistors.Throughout the aging process,current-voltage characteristics and Schottky barrier parameters were measured and analyzed.The results indicate that when subjected to constant voltage,current flows through regions with larger grain sizes,forming discharge channels.As aging progresses,the current focus increases on these channels,leading to a decline in the varistor’s overall performance.Furthermore,analysis of the Schottky barrier parameters shows that the changes in electrical performance during aging are non-monotonic.These findings offer theoretical support for understanding the aging mechanisms and condition assessment of modern stable ZnO varistors.
