The body and liver weights, morphological behavior changes, liver function and pathological effects on liver were recorded. Toxicity study of DOX showed that the LD50 and LD were 20 and 30 mg/Kg, respectively. Intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection of DOX induced significant (p ≤ 0.01-0.001) pathological changes in the health, i.e. general weakness, a few morphological changes associated with bleedings, ulceration of skin, hair loss, dimorphism of limbs and bosselation. Daily ingestion of natural honey for seven weeks has led to significant (p ≤ 0.01-0.001) improvement of these symptoms which appeared as increases in both body and liver weights in comparison with control animals. The natural honey had enhanced the function of liver in treated animals with DOX + honey and reduced the pathological effects of DOX on the above morphological symptoms as well as in the hepatocytes. It is concluded that the ingestion of natural honey has a protective potency against the toxic effects of DOX.展开更多

文摘Rapid urbanization in China has led to spatial antagonism between urban development and farmland protection and ecological security maintenance.Multi-objective spatial collaborative optimization is a powerful method for achieving sustainable regional development.Previous studies on multi-objective spatial optimization do not involve spatial corrections to simulation results based on the natural endowment of space resources.This study proposes an Ecological Security-Food Security-Urban Sustainable Development(ES-FS-USD)spatial optimization framework.This framework combines the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II)and patch-generating land use simulation(PLUS)model with an ecological protection importance evaluation,comprehensive agricultural productivity evaluation,and urban sustainable development potential assessment and optimizes the territorial space in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region in 2035.The proposed sustainable development(SD)scenario can effectively reduce the destruction of landscape patterns of various land-use types while considering both ecological and economic benefits.The simulation results were further revised by evaluating the land-use suitability of the YRD region.According to the revised spatial pattern for the YRD in 2035,the farmland area accounts for 43.59%of the total YRD,which is 5.35%less than that in 2010.Forest,grassland,and water area account for 40.46%of the total YRD—an increase of 1.42%compared with the case in 2010.Construction land accounts for 14.72%of the total YRD—an increase of 2.77%compared with the case in 2010.The ES-FS-USD spatial optimization framework ensures that spatial optimization outcomes are aligned with the natural endowments of land resources,thereby promoting the sustainable use of land resources,improving the ability of spatial management,and providing valuable insights for decision makers.

文摘Multi-label feature selection(MFS)is a crucial dimensionality reduction technique aimed at identifying informative features associated with multiple labels.However,traditional centralized methods face significant challenges in privacy-sensitive and distributed settings,often neglecting label dependencies and suffering from low computational efficiency.To address these issues,we introduce a novel framework,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO—federated MFS via dual-layer hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm with manifold and sparsity regularization(DHBCPSO-MSR).Leveraging the federated learning paradigm,Fed-MFSDHBCPSO allows clients to perform local feature selection(FS)using DHBCPSO-MSR.Locally selected feature subsets are encrypted with differential privacy(DP)and transmitted to a central server,where they are securely aggregated and refined through secure multi-party computation(SMPC)until global convergence is achieved.Within each client,DHBCPSO-MSR employs a dual-layer FS strategy.The inner layer constructs sample and label similarity graphs,generates Laplacian matrices to capture the manifold structure between samples and labels,and applies L2,1-norm regularization to sparsify the feature subset,yielding an optimized feature weight matrix.The outer layer uses a hybrid breeding cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm to further refine the feature weight matrix and identify the optimal feature subset.The updated weight matrix is then fed back to the inner layer for further optimization.Comprehensive experiments on multiple real-world multi-label datasets demonstrate that Fed-MFSDHBCPSO consistently outperforms both centralized and federated baseline methods across several key evaluation metrics.

文摘Currently,the demand for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials with specific functions and capable of withstanding harsh environments is becoming increasingly urgent.Multi-component interface engineering is considered an effective means to achieve high-efficiency EMW absorption.However,interface modulation engineering has not been fully discussed and has great potential in the field of EMW absorption.In this study,multi-component tin compound fiber composites based on carbon fiber(CF)substrate were prepared by electrospinning,hydrothermal synthesis,and high-temperature thermal reduction.By utilizing the different properties of different substances,rich heterogeneous interfaces are constructed.This effectively promotes charge transfer and enhances interfacial polarization and conduction loss.The prepared SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF composites with abundant heterogeneous interfaces have and exhibit excellent EMW absorption properties at a loading of 50 wt%in epoxy resin.The minimum reflection loss(RL)is−46.74 dB and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth is 5.28 GHz.Moreover,SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF epoxy composite coatings exhibited long-term corrosion resistance on Q235 steel surfaces.Therefore,this study provides an effective strategy for the design of high-efficiency EMW absorbing materials in complex and harsh environments.

文摘The atmospheric corrosion monitoring(ACM)technique has been widely employed to track the real-time corrosion behavior of metal materials.However,limited studies have applied ACM to the corrosion protection properties of organic coatings.This study compared a bare epoxy coating with one containing zinc phosphate corrosion inhibitors,both applied on ACM sensors,to observe their corrosion protection properties over time.Coatings with artificial damage via scratches were exposed to immersion and alternating dry and wet environments,which allowed for monitoring galvanic corrosion currents in real-time.Throughout the corrosion tests,the ACM currents of the zinc phosphate/epoxy coating were considerably lower than those of the blank epoxy coating.The trend in ACM current variations closely matched the results obtained from regular electrochemical tests and surface analysis.This alignment highlights the potential of the ACM technique in evaluating the corrosion protection capabilities of organic coatings.Compared with the blank epoxy coating,the zinc phosphate/epoxy coating showed much-decreased ACM current values that confirmed the effective inhibition of zinc phosphate against steel corrosion beneath the damaged coating.

文摘Corrosion activities and related accidents are significant issues for marine facilities,leading to considerable economic losses.Waterborne epoxy(EP)coating has been seen as one of the optimal options for corrosion protection due to its stable properties and eco-friendliness(0 g/L volatile organic compounds).Nevertheless,several intrinsic deficiencies require improvement,such as fragile mechanical properties and defects(macro and micro),resulting in the continuous deterioration of comprehensive coating performances.In this work,a novel nanocomposite coating with mechanical enhancement,intelligent self-reporting,and active protection is fabricated by integrating the functionalized and compatible graphene oxide/cerium based metal-organic framework multiscale structure(GO-CeMOF-P/M).Notably,the homogenous dispersion of GO-CeMOF-P/M and its chemical interaction with the polymer matrix effectively reduces the defects resulting from solution volatilizing and enhances the compactness,which boosts the tensile strength(32.1 MPa/8.5%)and dry adhesion force(5.8 MPa)of the coating.Additionally,the controllable responsiveness and release of multiscale nanocomposite within external environments endow intelligent active protection and self-reporting characteristics for the GO-CeMOF-P/M-EP coating,making it especially suitable for a variety of practical marine applications.Furthermore,following immersion of 80 d in the aggressive environment,Zf=0.01 Hz value of GO-CeMOF-P/M-EP coating is 1.2×10^(10)Ωcm^(2),which is 164.4 times larger than that of EP coating(7.3×10^(7)Ωcm^(2)),demonstrating remarkably strengthened anti-corrosion ability.Consequently,by offering an intriguing design strategy,the current work anticipates addressing the inherent deficiencies of EP coating and facilitating its practicality and feasibility in real sea environments.
文摘Pyridine-based agrochemical products have become the most commercially successful in the 21st century.About half of the agrochemicals with pyridine scaffold were released,registered or invented only in the current millennium.Some of them have a unique structure and previously unknown modes of action.The literature provides examples of the use of the pyridine ring in pesticides for reducing the dosage of the active ingredient,hence to take care of the environment due to their increased efficacy,overcoming the pest resistance,and also makes it possible to create patentable structures by dodging the parent patent,which sometimes leads to a change in the spectrum of activity of the compounds.The newest 13 substances registered by the ISO from January 2021 to June 2024,and not reviewed previously are considered.

文摘The synergy between corrosion protection and wear resistance is an effective strategy for the development of multifunctional coating to withstand complex working conditions.This study reports an epoxy resin coating filled with benzotriazole loaded metal-organic frameworks(BTA-MOFs)functionalized graphene oxide nanoribbons(GONR)that exhibit active anti-corrosion,act as a barrier to corrosive ion,and enhance wear resistance.The GONR@BTA-MOFs composite is synthesized through chemically etching multi-walled carbon nanotubes and subsequent electrostatic self-assembly corrosion inhibitors loaded MOFs onto the GONR.The composite demonstrates improved compatibility with epoxy resins compared to carbon nanotubes.The anti-corrosion performance of the composite coating is investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.After immersing in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution for 25 d,the alternating current impedance of the composite coating is three orders of magnitude higher than that of pure epoxy resin.Simultaneously,the controlled release of the corrosion inhibitor retards the deterioration of the coating after localized damage occurrence,which functions as active corrosion protection.The GONR@BTA-MOFs/EP composite coating exhibits the highest corrosion potential of-0.188 V and the lowest corrosion current of 3.162×10^(−9)A cm^(−2)in the Tafel test.Tribological studies reveal a reduction in the friction coefficient from 0.62 to 0.08 after incorporating GONR@BTA-MOFs in the coating,with the wear volume being seven times lower than that of pure epoxy resin.The excellent lubrication effect of the nanomaterials reduces the coefficient of friction of the coating,thereby improving the abrasion resistance of the coating.The synergy between the self-lubrication of the two-dimensional layered fillers and the corrosion resistance of the smart inhibitor containers suggests a promising strategy for enhancing the performance of epoxy resins under complex working conditions.

文摘In recent decades,annual urban fire incidents,including those involving ancient wooden buildings burned,transportation,and solar panels,have increased,leading to significant loss of human life and property.Addressing this issue without altering the surface morphology or interfering with optical behavior of flammable materials poses a substantial challenge.Herein,we present a transparent,low thickness,ceramifiable nanosystem coating composed of a highly adhesive base(poly(SSS1-co-HEMA1)),nanoscale layered double hydroxide sheets as ceramic precursors,and supramolecular melamine di-borate as an accelerator.We demonstrate that this hybrid coating can transform into a porous,fire-resistant protective layer with a highly thermostable vitreous phase upon exposure to flame/heat source.A nanosystem coating of just~100μm thickness can significantly increase the limiting oxygen index of wood(Pine)to 37.3%,dramatically reduce total heat release by 78.6%,and maintain low smoke toxicity(CIT_G=0.016).Detailed molecular force analysis,combined with a comprehensive examination of the underlying flame-retardant mechanisms,underscores the effectiveness of this coating.This work offers a strategy for creating efficient,environmentally friendly coatings with fire safety applications across various industries.

文摘Traditional impact protection structures(IPSs)dissipate impact energy according to the plastic dissipation mechanism,which is only effective for single impacts due to the irreversible deformation of structures.To achieve multi-impact protection,this paper proposes a novel chiral periodic structure with the deformation self-recovery function and the high energy conversion efficiency based on the flexoelectric mechanism.A theoretical model is formulated on the electromechanical responses of a flexoelectric beam under rotational boundaries.The equivalent stiffness and damping characteristics are subsequently derived to construct the electromechanical responses of the structure under constant velocity and mass impacts.Discussions are addressed for the influence of the structural scale effect and resistance on the electromechanical responses.The results show that the energy conversion efficiency increases by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude,reaching as high as 85.3%,which can match well with those of structures reported in the literature based on the plastic energy dissipating mechanism.
文摘Global marine ecosystems are signiicantly endangered by microplastic pollution,leading to comprehensive investigations into its distribution and impacts on the health of ecosystem.This research employs the Alseamar Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV)known as Glider to investigate microplastic concentrations within the Al Hoceima Marine Protected Area(MPA).Our objective is to identify spatial patterns that reveal pollution hotspots and furnish data for targeted conservation efforts and pollution prevention.We aim to identify regions with elevated microplastic concentrations by meticulously analyzing microplastic level graphs,with a speciic focus on temporal variations.The results reveal notable patterns,such as increased densities aroundishing harbors and near urban centers,potentially linked to anthropogenic activities.Additionally,we observe variations in pollution levels throughout different glider operation cycles,underscoring the importance of understanding the spatio‑temporal dynamics of microplastic distribution.Al Hoceima Marine protected areas exhibiting lower microplastic concentrations illustrate the eficacy of such zones in alleviating pollution impacts,thereby underscoring the signiicance of conservation efforts in safeguarding marine biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.Ultimately,our research enhances our comprehension of the pressures exerted by humans on marine environments and underscores the necessity of proactive conservation measures to shield marine ecosystems from the threats posed by microplastic pollution.
