METHODS One hundred and twenty-seven patients clinically suspected of having pulmonary embolism underwent spiral CTPA, out of whom fifty-seven received 75 mL and the remaining seventy a lower dose of 60 mL of contrast agent. Both doses were administered in a multiphasic injection. A minimum opacification threshold of 250 Hounsfield units(HU) in the main pulmonary artery is used for assessing the technical adequacy of the scans. RESULTS Mean opacification was found to be positively correlated to patient age(Pearson's correlation 0.4255, P < 0.0001) and independent of gender(male:female, 425.6 vs 450.4,P = 0.34). When age is accounted for, the study and control groups did not differ significantly in their mean opacification in the main(436.8 vs 437.9, P = 0.48),left(416.6 vs 419.8, P = 0.45) or the right pulmonary arteries(417.3 vs 423.5, P = 0.40). The number of sub-optimally opacified scans(the mean opacification in the main pulmonary artery < 250 HU) did not differ significantly between the study and control groups(7 vs 10).CONCLUSION A lower dose of iodine contrast at 60 mL can be feasibly used in CTPA without resulting in a higher number of sub-optimally opacified scans.展开更多

They can lead to irreversible joint damage and increase the risk of progression to osteoarthritis. Current treatments for osteochondral injuries are not curative and only target symptoms, highlighting the need for a tissue engineering solution. Scaffold-based approaches can be used to assist osteochondral tissue regeneration, where biomaterials tailored to the properties of cartilage and bone are used to restore the defect and minimise the risk of further joint degeneration. This review captures original research studies published since 2015, on multiphasic scaffolds used to treat osteochondral defects in animal models. These studies used an extensive range of biomaterials for scaffold fabrication, consisting mainly of natural and synthetic polymers. Different methods were used to create multiphasic scaffold designs, including by integrating or fabricating multiple layers, creating gradients, or through the addition of factors such as minerals, growth factors, and cells. The studies used a variety of animals to model osteochondral defects, where rabbits were the most commonly chosen and the vast majority of studies reported small rather than large animal models. The few available clinical studies reporting cell-free scaffolds have shown promising early-stage results in osteochondral repair, but long-term follow-up is necessary to demonstrate consistency in defect restoration. Overall, preclinical studies of multiphasic scaffolds show favourable results in simultaneously regenerating cartilage and bone in animal models of osteochondral defects, suggesting that biomaterials-based tissue engineering strategies may be a promising solution.展开更多

Herein, this work reports the transformation of two-dimensional (2D) layered fiber mats into three-dimensional (3D) multiphasic scaffolds using a ‘solids-of-revolution’ inspired gas-foaming expansion technology. These scaffolds feature precise control over fiber alignment, pore size, and regional structure. Manipulating nanofiber mat layers and Pluronic F127 concentrations allows further customization of pore size and fiber alignment within different scaffold regions. The cellular response to multiphasic scaffolds demonstrates that the number of cells migrated and proliferated onto the scaffolds is mainly dependent on the pore size rather than fiber alignment. In vivo subcutaneous implantation of multiphasic scaffolds to rats reveals substantial cell infiltration, neo tissue formation, collagen deposition, and new vessel formation within scaffolds, greatly surpassing the capabilities of traditional nanofiber mats. Histological examination indicates the importance of optimizing pore size and fiber alignment for the promotion of cell infiltration and tissue regeneration. Overall, these scaffolds have potential applications in tissue modeling, studying tissue-tissue interactions, interface tissue engineering, and highthroughput screening for optimized tissue regeneration.展开更多

How...Molybdenum ditelluride （MoTe2）, which is an important transition-metal dichalcogenide, has attracted considerable interest owing to its unique properties, such as its small bandgap and large Seebeck coefficient. However, the batch production of monolayer MoTe2 has been rarely reported. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of large-domain （edge length exceeding 30 μm）, monolayer MoTe2 from chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 using a chalcogen atom-exchange synthesis route. An in-depth investigation of the tellurization process reveals that the substitution of S atoms by Te is prevalently initiated at the edges and grain boundaries of the monolayer MoS2, which differs from the homogeneous selenization of MoS2 flakes with the formation of alloyed Mo-S-Se hybrids. Moreover, we detect a large compressive strain （approximately -10%） in the transformed MoTe2 lattice, which possibly drives the phase transition from 2H to 1T＇ at the reaction temperature of 500 ℃. This phase change is substantiated by experimental facts and first-principles calculations. This work introduces a novel route for the templated synthesis of two-dimensional layered materials through atom substitutional chemistry and provides a new pathway for engineering the strain and thus the intriguing physics and chemistry.展开更多

Different methods were used to create multiphasic scaffold designs, including by integrating or fabricating multiple layers, creating gradients, or through the addition of factors such as minerals, growth factors, and cells. The studies used a variety of animals to model osteochondral defects, where rabbits were the most commonly chosen and the vast majority of studies reported small rather than large animal models. The few available clinical studies reporting cell-free scaffolds have shown promising early-stage results in osteochondral repair, but long-term follow-up is necessary to demonstrate consistency in defect restoration. Overall, preclinical studies of multiphasic scaffolds show favourable results in simultaneously regenerating cartilage and bone in animal models of osteochondral defects, suggesting that biomaterials-based tissue engineering strategies may be a promising solution.
文摘Noncohesive particle clusters are identified and tracked in turbulent flows to determine the breakdown and time evolution of cluster statistics and their implications for interscale mass transfer,which has connections to the classical turbulent energy cascade and its mass cascade counterpart running in parallel.In particular,the formation and dynamics of sediment and larvae clusters are of interest to coral larvae settlement in coastal regions and particularly the resilience of green-gray coastal protection solutions.Analogous cluster behavior is relevant to cloud microphysics and precipitation initiation,radiation transport and light transmission through colloids and suspensions,heat and mass transfer in particle-laden flows,and viral and pollutant transmission.Following a comparison between various clustering techniques,we adopt a density-based cluster identification algorithm based on its simplicity and efficiency,where particles are clustered based on the number of neighboring particles in their individual spheres of influence.We establish parallels with lattice-based percolation theory,as evident in the power-law scaling of the cluster size distribution near the percolation threshold.The degree of discontinuity of the phase transition associated with this percolation threshold is observed to broaden with larger Stokes numbers and thereby large-scale clustering.The sensitivity of our findings to the employed clustering algorithm is discussed.A novel cluster tracking algorithm is deployed to determine the interscale transfer rate along the particle-number phase-space dimension via accounting of cluster breakup and merger events,extending previous work on the bubble breakup cascade beneath surface breaking waves.Our findings shed light on the interaction between particle clusters and their carrier turbulent flows,with an eye toward transport models incorporating cluster characteristics and dynamics.

文摘Multiphasic scaffolds with tailored gradient features hold significant promise for tissue regeneration applications. Herein, this work reports the transformation of two-dimensional (2D) layered fiber mats into three-dimensional (3D) multiphasic scaffolds using a ‘solids-of-revolution’ inspired gas-foaming expansion technology. These scaffolds feature precise control over fiber alignment, pore size, and regional structure. Manipulating nanofiber mat layers and Pluronic F127 concentrations allows further customization of pore size and fiber alignment within different scaffold regions. The cellular response to multiphasic scaffolds demonstrates that the number of cells migrated and proliferated onto the scaffolds is mainly dependent on the pore size rather than fiber alignment. In vivo subcutaneous implantation of multiphasic scaffolds to rats reveals substantial cell infiltration, neo tissue formation, collagen deposition, and new vessel formation within scaffolds, greatly surpassing the capabilities of traditional nanofiber mats. Histological examination indicates the importance of optimizing pore size and fiber alignment for the promotion of cell infiltration and tissue regeneration. Overall, these scaffolds have potential applications in tissue modeling, studying tissue-tissue interactions, interface tissue engineering, and highthroughput screening for optimized tissue regeneration.
文摘Ice crystal icing is an important cause of accidents in aircraft engines.Ice formation in aircraft engines can cause internal blades to freeze,affecting the quality of the air flow field and blocking the flow path.On the other hand,the entry of ice crystal particles into the combustion chamber can cause a decrease in temperature or even flameout,leading to engine surge or shutdown.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct multiphase flow tests on ice crystals for aircraft components such as aircraft engines.Conducting ice crystal multiphase flow tests on aircraft is an effective research method,but it requires the construction of an ice crystal multiphase flow test platform that meets relevant technical requirements.The paper focuses on the relevant experimental requirements and combines wind tunnel test structures to conduct multiphase flow numerical simulations on various forms of jet pipelines,obtaining particle motion distribution results.After comparison,the optimal form of jet structure is obtained,providing the best selection scheme for the design of relevant wind tunnel structures.

文摘Slug flow represents one of the most critical and operationally challenging regimes in oil-gas-water multiphase pipelines.To advance both mechanistic understanding and predictive capability,this study integrates physical analysis with data-driven modeling to elucidate the conditions governing slug formation and to enable its rapid and accurate prediction.A systematic review of existing research is first undertaken to clarify the mechanisms responsible for slug initiation.The influences of gas superficial velocity,liquid velocity,liquid viscosity,liquid surface tension,and the axial component of gravity are examined to characterize their roles in interfacial instability and flow transition.Then,the effects of temperature,total flow rate,water cut,gas-liquid ratio,and pipeline inclination angle are quantitatively assessed,revealing the dominant trends that promote or inhibit slug development.Building on this foundation,a comprehensive three-phase oil-gas-water flow model is constructed.Numerical simulations are performed for 243 operating conditions encompassing a broad range of temperatures,water cuts,gas-liquid ratios,liquid flow rates,and inclination angles.These simulated cases constitute the training dataset for nine machine learning algorithms.To evaluate generalization performance,108 additional randomly generated operating conditions are predicted,covering temperatures of 80–150◦C,water cuts of 40–90%,gas-liquid ratios of 3–30,liquid flow rates of 100–200 t/d,and inclination angles of 5–15.Comparative validation reveals marked differences in predictive accuracy.The BP neural network achieves the highest accuracy,95%,substantially outperforming XGBoost,83.3%,Random Forest and Decision Tree,81.5%,Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine,80.6%,K-Nearest Neighbor and Naive Bayes 78.7%,and K-Means,63%.Overall,the BP neural network demonstrates superior robustness and precision in predicting previously unseen operating conditions,effectively combining the physical consistency of mechanistic modeling with the efficiency and adaptability of machine learning approaches.

文摘A 3D mathematical model was established to investigate the gas-liquid two-phase flow in Ruhrstahl-Heraeus(RH)vacuum refining process.The flow characteristics of molten steel were calculated using the coupled standard k-εmodel and volume of fluid model.The bubble distribution was tracked by discrete phase model.Electromagnetic field was applied in the up-leg snorkel to enhance the effect of vacuum refining.The effect of swirling flow nozzles combined with electromagnetic stirring(EMS)on the flow characteristics of molten steel and bubble distribution was analyzed.The erosion of the up-leg snorkel was compared.The results show that when the swirling flow nozzles are used,the bubbles exhibit a distinct adherent rising behavior,and the refining efficiency decreases.In addition,the electromagnetic field can significantly improve the refining efficiency,but it brings stronger erosion to the up-leg snorkel.Nevertheless,when using the swirling flow nozzles combined with EMS,the refining performance is further optimized,and the erosion of the up-leg snorkel is also reduced due to its characteristic of bubble distribution.Compared to conventional nozzles,the mixing time was shortened by 16.2%,the recirculation rate increased by 12.5%.and the swirling intensity was strengthened by 8.9%.

文摘Underwater gas-liquid two-phase propulsion technology is an emerging propulsion method that offers high efficiency and unrestricted navigation speed.The integration of this technology into water ramjet engines can significantly enhance propulsion efficiency and holds substantial potential for broad applications.However,forming a gas-liquid two-phase flow within the nozzle requires introducing a large amount of rammed seawater.At this time,there is a complex phase transition problem of combustion products in the combustion chamber,which makes the thermodynamic calculation for gas-liquid two-phase water ramjet engines particularly challenging.This paper proposes a thermodynamic calculation method for gas-liquid two-phase water ramjet engines,based on the energy equation for gas-liquid two-phase flow and traditional thermodynamic principles,enabling thermodynamic calculations under conditions of ultra-high water-fuel ratios.Additionally,ground ignition tests of the gas-liquid two-phase engine were conducted,yielding critical engine test parameters.The results demonstrate that the gas-liquid two-phase water ramjet engine achieves a high specific impulse,with a theoretical maximum specific impulse of up to 7000(N s)/kg.The multiphase flow effects significantly impact engine performance,with specific impulse losses reaching up to 25.86%.The error between the thrust and specific impulse in the ground test and the theoretical values is within 10%,validating the proposed thermodynamic calculation method as a reliable reference for further research on gas-liquid two-phase water ramjet engines.

文摘Powder-Fueled Water Ramjet Engine(PFWRE)is the most promising powerplant in underwater high-speed propulsion.However,the effect of powder injection mode on its performance and the mechanism of this effect are not well understood.In this paper,a computational framework for multiphase combustion flow is developed and validated.Further,the effects of different injection schemes on flow combustion characteristics and engine performance are evaluated via simulation.Our findings indicate that the dominant recirculation zone in front of the primary water inlet delivers water vapor to the combustor head,providing the necessary oxidant for the ignition and combustion of Al particles.Changing the injection parameters directly affects the flame zone distribution and the ability of the recirculation zone to deliver water vapor,leading to variations in particle ignition delay.The engine combustion efficiency and specific impulse efficiency exhibit a negative correlation with injection height,peaking before declining with increased injection angle.It is shown that particle mixing degree and particle dispersion degree are closely related to engine performance.Enhanced particle mixing in front of the primary water inlet and particle dispersion behind the secondary water inlet are considered favorable approaches to improve engine performance,which promotes the particle combustion process and improves the heat-work conversion efficiency.

文摘Under equivalent stiffness conditions,material substitution based on a thin-walled design is crucial for the lightweight of components.Developing high-performance steels with both high-yield strength and excellent ductility has become a key focus in fields like aerospace and lowaltitude flight.The novel low-density steel presented here exhibits a yield strength of 1000 MPa,which is 2-3 times higher than conventional low-alloy high-strength steels,while maintaining an elongation of about 18.7%.By combining ex-situ experimental characterization with a phase mechanical response model based on the iso-work theory and the von Mises equivalent method,the role of heterogeneous deformation-induced strengthening was revealed.The calculated values align closely with experimental results.This exceptional performance is attributed to a multiphase heterogeneous microstructure,where fresh martensite,bainite/tempered martensite,and deformation-induced martensite act as hard regions.These regions release micro-stresses through inhomogeneous cooperative deformation with soft ferrite,enabling multiple plastic deformation mechanisms and stress concentration relief.This research offers new insights into optimizing microstructures through mechanical metallurgy,which is crucial for producing high-performance,lightweight components.

文摘Large-eddy simulation(LES)is conducted to study the statistical properties of mixed-phase turbulence induced by the breaking of bow waves in flow past a partially submerged plate.The simulation is performed using a finite difference method,with the air-water interface captured by a coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid method.Four cases are conducted to investigate the effects of Froude number on turbulent statistics,including the mean velocity,turbulence kinetic energy,and turbulence mass flux(TMF),which is an additional unclosed term in the Reynolds-averaged momentum equation.The TMF,especially its vertical component,shows a complex behaviour with respect to the Froude number.This property of the TMF imposes high demands on the robustness of the closure model of TMF.The present LES data is further used to examine a closure model of the TMF production term,which shows a high correlation with the data obtained from LES.

文摘A three-dimensional multiphase particle-in-cell(MP-PIC)method was adopted to establish a liquid-solid two-phase flow model accounting for complex fracture networks.The model was validated using physical experimental data.On this basis,the main factors influencing proppant transport in fracture network were analyzed.The study shows that proppant transport in fracture network can be divided into three stages:initial filling,dominant channel formation and fracture network extension.These correspond to three transport patterns:patch-like accumulation near the wellbore,preferential placement along main fractures,and improved the coverage of planar placement as fluid flows into branch fractures.Higher proppant density,lower fracturing fluid viscosity,lower injection rate,and larger proppant grain size result in shorter proppant transport distance and smaller planar placement coefficient.The use of low-density,small-diameter proppant combined with high-viscosity fracturing fluid and appropriately increased injection rate can effectively enlarge the stimulated volume.A smaller angle between the main fracture and branch fractures leads to longer proppant banks,broader coverage,more uniform distribution,and better stimulation performance in branch fractures.In contrast,a larger angle increases the likelihood of proppant accumulation near the branch fracture entrance and reduces the planar placement coefficient.
文摘In hospitals,a medical computed tomography(CT)scan is used to detect damage to infected areas of the human body.Using this technology,scientists and engineers have found a way to detect the internal pore connections and characterize rock samples of oil and gas reservoirs in the petroleum industry.Nowadays,the micro-CT scan technique is gaining considerable interest in reservoir rock characterization and in situ monitoring of fluid flow through porous media during different flooding experiments.Along with this digital rock physics(DRP)idea,images have been used to accurately describe and model for simulations of rock samples.In this review,the application of micro-CT and medical-CT scanning in the oil and gas industry has been thoroughly discussed.Recent improvements in DRP and modern imaging techniques in the oil and gas industry have been modeled using both experimental and simulation work.The combination of a DRP study and a CT scan has also been discussed as a unique idea for the current scenario of research work in this field.The available literature shows that the modern imaging technique and the DRP concept can enable an understanding of the pore network model.It has also been observed that the visualization of fluid flow behavior through porous media is now possible during fluid movement through the core samples.This review contributes to the new research area and aids those in this field in quickly gaining an understanding of applied image techniques in the oil and gas industry.

文摘An unsteady numerical simulation is conducted to examine the dynamic runback characteristics of a water film flow driven by a boundary layer airflow over a solid surface pertinent to the dynamic glaze ice accretion process over aircraft wing surfaces.The multiphase flow simulation results of the wind-driven water runback(WDWR)flow are compared quantitatively with the experimental results in terms of the time-dependent variations of the water film thickness profiles and evolution of the front contact point of the runback water film flow.The underlying mechanism of the intermittent water runback behavior is elucidated by analyzing the time evolution of the airflow velocity and vorticity fields above the runback water film flow over the solid surface.To the best knowledge of the authors,the work presented here is the first successful attempt to numerically examine the transient runback characteristics of WDWR flows.It serves as an excellent benchmark case for the development of best practices to model the important micro-physical processes responsible for the transient water transport over aircraft wing surfaces.

文摘Molybdenum ditelluride （MoTe2）, which is an important transition-metal dichalcogenide, has attracted considerable interest owing to its unique properties, such as its small bandgap and large Seebeck coefficient. However, the batch production of monolayer MoTe2 has been rarely reported. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of large-domain （edge length exceeding 30 μm）, monolayer MoTe2 from chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 using a chalcogen atom-exchange synthesis route. An in-depth investigation of the tellurization process reveals that the substitution of S atoms by Te is prevalently initiated at the edges and grain boundaries of the monolayer MoS2, which differs from the homogeneous selenization of MoS2 flakes with the formation of alloyed Mo-S-Se hybrids. Moreover, we detect a large compressive strain （approximately -10%） in the transformed MoTe2 lattice, which possibly drives the phase transition from 2H to 1T＇ at the reaction temperature of 500 ℃. This phase change is substantiated by experimental facts and first-principles calculations. This work introduces a novel route for the templated synthesis of two-dimensional layered materials through atom substitutional chemistry and provides a new pathway for engineering the strain and thus the intriguing physics and chemistry.

文摘Magnesium hydride(MgH_(2))has garnered significant attention as a promising material for high-capacity hydrogen storage.However,its commercial application remains challenging due to the high operating temperature and slow reaction kinetics.In this study,melt-spun Ti_(45)Cr_(40)Nb_(15)(with a BCC phase)hydride(designated as TiCrNbH_(x-)MS)was synthesized and used to form a nano-multiphase composite to improve the de-/rehydrogenation properties of MgH_(2) through ball milling.The incorporation of TiCrNbH_(x-)MS was shown to significantly enhance the hydrogen de-/rehydrogenation properties of MgH_(2).The MgH_(2)+20 wt%TiCrNbH_(x-)MS composite exhibits an appealing initial dehydrogenation temperature of 163℃ and can absorb hydrogen at room temperature.Notably,it releases 5.8 wt% hydrogen in 700 s at 230℃ and recharges 4.3 wt%hydrogen in just 2 mins at 150℃.Even after 100 cycles,it retains a reversible hydrogen capacity of 4.98 wt%.Kinetic analysis revealed that the dehydrogenation rate follows the Chou surface penetration model.Microstructural analysis showed that the FCC phase of the melt-spun TiCrNbH_(x-)MS hydride reversibly transformed into the BCC phase during the de-/rehydrogenation process in the composite.Numerous phase interfaces were generated and uniformly dispersed on the MgH_(2) surface,providing additional hydrogen diffusion pathways and heterogeneous nucleation sites for Mg/MgH_(2),thereby further improving the hydrogen de-/rehydrogenation kinetics of the system.This study offers valuable insights into the use of multiphase composites to enhance MgH_(2) performance.

文摘Metal nitrides exhibit excellent properties and application potential as electromagnetic wave(EMW)ab-sorbing materials.Their high conductivity and adjustable dielectric properties allow them to effectively attenuate EMW.However,the current research on the synergistic effect of metal nitrides is scarce and has limited applications in the field of EMW absorption.In this work,Co/Ni metal-nitride fiber composites with multiphase structures were constructed by electrostatic spinning and multiphase composite process.The synergistic loss mechanism of multiphase structure and N atomic modulation is explored by modu-lating the components and microstructure of the materials.By constructing the multiphase composites,the controllable tuning of non-homogeneous interfaces and the enhanced interfacial polarization loss ef-fect were achieved.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to analyze the charge transfer ca-pability at the interface of multiphase Co/Ni metal nitride fiber composites.Through the controllable reg-ulation of the multiphase structure,the Co/Ni bimetallic nitride fiber composite(Co_(5.47)N/Ni_(4)N/CF)exhib-ited the strongest polarization loss capability,achieving a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−43.82 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))of 7.04 GHz.This study provides a valuable reference for multiphase composites in the field of EMW absorption by exploring the polarization loss mechanism of Co/Ni metal nitride multiphase materials.
