This is by triggering the release of proinflammatory mediators from local and invading cells that induce inflammation and nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. Even without apparent inflammation, injury sites are associated with increased inflammatory markers. This review focuses on how it might be possible to reduce neuropathic pain by reducing inflammation. Physiologically, pain is resolved by a combination of the out-migration of pro-inflammatory cells from the injury site, the down-regulation of the genes underlying the inflammation, up-regulating genes for anti-inflammatory mediators, and reducing nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. While various techniques reduce chronic neuropathic pain, the best are effective on < 50% of patients, no technique reliably or permanently eliminates neuropathic pain. This is because most techniques are predominantly aimed at reducing pain, not inflammation. In addition, while single factors reduce pain, increasing evidence indicates significant and longer-lasting pain relief requires multiple factors acting simultaneously. Therefore, it is not surprising that extensive data indicate that the application of platelet-rich plasma provides more significant and longer-lasting pain suppression than other techniques, although its analgesia is neither complete nor permanent. However, several case reports indicate that platelet-rich plasma can induce permanent neuropathic pain elimination when the platelet concentration is significantly increased and is applied to longer nerve lengths. This review examines the primary triggers of the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain and techniques that reduce chronic neuropathic pain. The application of plateletrich plasma holds great promise for providing complete and permanent chronic neuropathic pain elimination.展开更多

文摘Owing to their global search capabilities and gradient-free operation,metaheuristic algorithms are widely applied to a wide range of optimization problems.However,their computational demands become prohibitive when tackling high-dimensional optimization challenges.To effectively address these challenges,this study introduces cooperative metaheuristics integrating dynamic dimension reduction(DR).Building upon particle swarm optimization(PSO)and differential evolution(DE),the proposed cooperative methods C-PSO and C-DE are developed.In the proposed methods,the modified principal components analysis(PCA)is utilized to reduce the dimension of design variables,thereby decreasing computational costs.The dynamic DR strategy implements periodic execution of modified PCA after a fixed number of iterations,resulting in the important dimensions being dynamically identified.Compared with the static one,the dynamic DR strategy can achieve precise identification of important dimensions,thereby enabling accelerated convergence toward optimal solutions.Furthermore,the influence of cumulative contribution rate thresholds on optimization problems with different dimensions is investigated.Metaheuristic algorithms(PSO,DE)and cooperative metaheuristics(C-PSO,C-DE)are examined by 15 benchmark functions and two engineering design problems(speed reducer and composite pressure vessel).Comparative results demonstrate that the cooperative methods achieve significantly superior performance compared to standard methods in both solution accuracy and computational efficiency.Compared to standard metaheuristic algorithms,cooperative metaheuristics achieve a reduction in computational cost of at least 40%.The cooperative metaheuristics can be effectively used to tackle both high-dimensional unconstrained and constrained optimization problems.
文摘Nerve trauma commonly results in chronic neuropathic pain. This is by triggering the release of proinflammatory mediators from local and invading cells that induce inflammation and nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. Even without apparent inflammation, injury sites are associated with increased inflammatory markers. This review focuses on how it might be possible to reduce neuropathic pain by reducing inflammation. Physiologically, pain is resolved by a combination of the out-migration of pro-inflammatory cells from the injury site, the down-regulation of the genes underlying the inflammation, up-regulating genes for anti-inflammatory mediators, and reducing nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. While various techniques reduce chronic neuropathic pain, the best are effective on < 50% of patients, no technique reliably or permanently eliminates neuropathic pain. This is because most techniques are predominantly aimed at reducing pain, not inflammation. In addition, while single factors reduce pain, increasing evidence indicates significant and longer-lasting pain relief requires multiple factors acting simultaneously. Therefore, it is not surprising that extensive data indicate that the application of platelet-rich plasma provides more significant and longer-lasting pain suppression than other techniques, although its analgesia is neither complete nor permanent. However, several case reports indicate that platelet-rich plasma can induce permanent neuropathic pain elimination when the platelet concentration is significantly increased and is applied to longer nerve lengths. This review examines the primary triggers of the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain and techniques that reduce chronic neuropathic pain.

文摘Global warming caused by the emission of CO_(2) in industrial flue gas has attractedmore and more attention.Therefore,to fix CO_(2) with high efficiency and environmentally friendly had become the hot research field.Compared with the traditional coal-fired power plant flue gas emission reduction technology,carbon fixation and emission reduction by microalgae is considered as a promising technology due to the advantages of simple process equipment,convenient operation and environmental protection.When the flue gas is treated by microalgae carbon fixation and emission reduction technology,microalgae cells can fix CO_(2) in the flue gas through photosynthesis,and simultaneously absorb NO_(x) and SO_(x) as nitrogen and sulfur sources required for growth.Meanwhile,they can also absorb mercury,selenium,arsenic,cadmium,lead and other heavy metal ions in the flue gas to obtain microalgae biomass.The obtained microalgae biomass can be further transformed into high valueadded products,which has broad development prospects.This paper reviews the mechanisms and pathways of CO_(2) sequestration,the mechanism and impacts of microalgal emission reduction of flue gas pollutants,and the applications of carbon sequestration in industrial flue gas by microalgae.Finally,this paper provides some guidelines and prospects for the research and application of green emission reduction technology for industrial flue gas.

文摘Exploiting non-precious metal catalysts with excellent oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)performance for energy devices is paramount essential for the green and sustainable society development.Herein,low-cost,high-performance biomass-derived ORR catalysts with an asymmetric Fe-N_(3)P configuration was prepared by a simple pyrolysis-etching technique,where carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)was used as the carbon source,urea and 1,10-phenanthroline iron complex(FePhen)as additives,and Na_(3)PO_(4)as the phosphorus dopant and a pore-forming agent.The CMC-derived FeNPC catalyst displayed a large specific area(BET:1235 m^(2)g^(-1))with atomically dispersed Fe-N_(3)P active sites,which exhibited superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline solution(E_(1/2)=0.90 V vs.RHE)and Zn-air batteries(P_(max)=149 mW cm^(-2))to commercial Pt/C catalyst(E_(1/2)=0.87 V,P_(max)=118 mW cm^(-2))under similar experimental conditions.This work provides a feasible and costeffective route toward highly efficient ORR catalysts and their application to Zn-air batteries for energy conversion.

文摘Photocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) is pivotal for mitigating the global greenhouse effect and fostering sustainable energy development.Nowadays,polymeric carbon nitride(PCN)has gained widespread application in CO_(2) solar reduction due to its excellent visible light response,suitable conduction band position,and good cost-effectiveness.However,the amorphous nature and low conductivity of PCN limit its photocatalytic efficiency by leading to low carrier concentrations and facile electron–hole recombination during photocatalysis.Addressing this bottleneck,in this study,potassium-doped PCN(KPCN)/copper(Ⅱ)-complexed bipyridine hydroxyquinoline carboxylic acid(Cu(Ⅱ)(bpy)(H_(2)hqc))composite catalysts were synthesized through a multistep microwave heating process.In the composite,the formation of an S-scheme junction facilitates the enrichment of more negative electrons on the conduction band of KPCN via intermolecular electron–hole recombination between Cu(Ⅱ)(bpy)(H_(2)hqc)(CuPyQc)and KPCN,thereby promoting efficient photoreduction of CO_(2) to CO.Microwave heating enhances the amidation reaction between these two components,achieving the immobilization of homogeneous molecular catalysts and forming amidation chemical bonds that serve as key channels for the S-scheme charge transfer.This work not only presents a new PCN-based catalytic system for CO_(2) reduction applications,but also offers a novel microwave-practical approach for immobilizing homogeneous catalysts.

文摘The application of liquid core reduction(LCR)technology in thin slab continuous casting can refine the internal microstruc-tures of slabs and improve their production efficiency.To avoid crack risks caused by large deformation during the LCR process and to minimize the thickness of the slab in bending segments,the maximum theoretical reduction amount and the corresponding reduction scheme for the LCR process must be determined.With SPA-H weathering steel as a specific research steel grade,the distributions of tem-perature and deformation fields of a slab with the LCR process were analyzed using a three-dimensional thermal-mechanical finite ele-ment model.High-temperature tensile tests were designed to determine the critical strain of corner crack propagation and intermediate crack initiation with various strain rates and temperatures,and a prediction model of the critical strain for two typical cracks,combining the effects of strain rate and temperature,was proposed by incorporating the Zener-Hollomon parameter.The crack risks with different LCR schemes were calculated using the crack risk prediction model,and the maximum theoretical reduction amount for the SPA-H slab with a transverse section of 145 mm×1600 mm was 41.8 mm,with corresponding reduction amounts for Segment 0 to Segment 4 of 15.8,7.3,6.5,6.4,and 5.8 mm,respectively.

文摘Mining and tailings deposition can cause serious heavy metal(loids)pollution to the surrounding soil environment.Soil microorganisms adapt their metabolism to such conditions,driving alterations in soil function.This study aims to elucidate the response patterns of nitrogen-cycling microorganisms under long-term heavy metal(loids)exposure.The results showed that the diversity and abundance of nitrogen-cyclingmicroorganisms showed negative feedback to heavy metal(loids)concentrations.Denitrifying microorganisms were shown to be the dominant microorganisms with over 60%of relative abundance and a complex community structure including 27 phyla.Further,the key bacterial species in the denitrification process were calculated using a random forest model,where the top three key species(Pseudomonas stutzei,Sphingobium japonicum and Leifsonia rubra)were found to play a prominent role in nitrite reduction.Functional gene analysis and qPCR revealed that nirK,which is involved in nitrite reduction,significantly accumulated in the most metal-rich soil with the increase of absolute abundance of 63.86%.The experimental results confirmed that the activity of nitrite reductase(Nir)encoded by nirK in the soil was increased at high concentrations of heavy metal(loids).Partial least squares-path model identified three potential modes of nitrite reduction processes being stimulated by heavy metal(loids),the most prominent of which contributed to enhanced nirK abundance and soil Nir activity through positive stimulation of key species.The results provide new insights and preliminary evidence on the stimulation of nitrite reduction processes by heavy metal(loids).

文摘Nitrogen-doping of carbon support(N-C)for platinum(Pt)nanoparticles to form Pt/N-C catalyst represents an effective strategy to promote the electrocatalysis of cathodic oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)in proton exchange membrane fuel cells.For fundamental understanding,clearly identifying the metalsupport effect on enhancement mechanisms of ORR electrocatalysis is definitely needed.In this work,the impact of Pt-support interaction via interfacial Pt-N coordination on electrocatalytic ORR activity and stability in Pt/N-C catalyst is deeply studied through structural/compositional characterizations,electrochemical measurements and theoretical DFT-calculations/AIMD-simulations.The resulting Pt/N-C catalyst exhibits a superior electrocatalytic performance compared to the commercial Pt/C catalyst in both half-cell and H_(2)-O_(2)fuel cell.Experimental and theoretical results reveal that the interfacial Pt-N coordination enables electron transfer from N-C support to Pt nanoparticles,which can weaken the adsorption strength of oxygen intermediates on Pt surface to improve ORR activity and induce the strong Pt-support interaction to enhance electrochemical stability.

文摘The transformation from multibody models to lumped-parameter models is a crucial aspect of vehicle dynamics research.The velocity transformation method is adopted in this research,and the suspension multibody model is described using only one degree of freedom.It is found that the equivalent mass of the system is time-dependent during the simulation process,as observed in numerical simulations.Further symbolic calculations are conducted to derive the analytical form of the equivalent mass,and the results show that once the static parameters are determined,the equivalent mass of the suspension system is determined solely by the vertical position of the suspension upright,which reveals the kinematics characteristic of the equivalent mass of the suspension system.It is found that the equivalent mass experiences smaller changes when the suspension is compressed from the middle position,but larger changes when the suspension is extended.Furthermore,by comparing the multibody model,the lumped-parameter model with static mass,and the proposed lumped-parameter model considering the kinematics characteristic of the equivalent unsprung mass,the proposed model produces simulation results that more closely match the original multibody model than the model with static mass.The improvements in accuracy can be up to 20%under certain evaluation metrics.

文摘The storage of solid waste in Bayan Obo has resulted in significant resource wastage and environmental concerns.In this study,an efficient process was developed to recover iron and rare earth elements(REEs)from this waste by processes of hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation(HMPT),magnetic separation,and flotation.Under optimal HMPT conditions(525℃,12.5 min,and 30%H_(2)concentration),an iron concentrate with a TFe grade of 64.09%and a recovery of 95.33%was obtained.The magnetic properties of the solid waste were greatly enhanced by HMPT,allowing the effective magnetic separation of iron minerals.Further optimization of the flotation process resulted in a REEs concentrate with a rare earth oxide(REO)grade of 65%-70%and a REEs recovery of 60%-65%.Hematite was reduced to magnetite during HMPT,and bastnaesite was decomposed to REEs oxides and fluorides,and the particle structure was significantly destroyed.However,changes in monazite,fluorite,and barite were minimal.

文摘A sp^(2) carbon-conjugated covalent organic framework (BDATN) was modified through γ-ray radiation reduction and subsequent acidification with hydrochloric acid to yield a novel functional COF (named rBDATN-HCl) for Cr(Ⅵ) removal.The morphology and structure of rBDATN-HCl were analyzed and identified by SEM,FTIR,XRD and solid-state13C NMR.It is found that the active functional groups,such as hydroxyl and amide,were introduced into BDATN after radiation reduction and acidification.The prepared rBDATN-HCl demonstrates a photocatalytic reduction removal rate of Cr(Ⅵ) above 99%after 60min of illumination with a solid-liquid ratio of 0.5 mg/mL,showing outstanding performance,which is attributed to the increase of dispersibility and adsorption sites of r BDATN-HCl.In comparison to the cBDATN-HCl synthesized with chemical reduction,rBDATN-HCl exhibits a better photoreduction performance for Cr(Ⅵ),demonstrating the advantages of radiation preparation of rBDATN-HCl.It is expected that more functionalized sp^(2) carbon-conjugated COFs could be obtained by this radiation-induced reduction strategy.

文摘In contrast to research on active sites in nanomaterials,lithium tantalate single crystals,known for their exceptional optical properties and long-range ordered lattice structure,present a promising avenue for in-depth exploration of photocatalytic reaction systems with fewer constraints imposed by surface chemistry.Typically,the isotropy of a specific facet provides a perfect support for studying heteroatom doping.Herein,this work delves into the intrinsic catalytic sites for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation in iron-doped lithium tantalate single crystals.The presence of iron not only modifies the electronic structure of lithium tantalate,improving its light absorption capacity,but also functions as an active site for the nitrogen adsorption and activation.The photocatalytic ammonia production rate of the iron-doped lithium tantalate in pure water is maximum 26.95μg cm^(−2)h^(−1),which is three times higher than that of undoped lithium tantalate.The combination of first-principles simulations with in situ characterizations confirms that iron doping promotes the rate-determining step and changes the pathway of hydrogenation to associative alternating.This study provides a new perspective on in-depth investigation of intrinsic catalytic active sites in photocatalysis and other catalytic processes.

文摘The impact of heavy reduction on dendritic morphology was explored by combining experimental research and numerical simulation in metallurgy,including a detailed three-dimensional(3D)analysis and reconstruction of dendritic solidification structures.Combining scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive scanning analysis and ANSYS simulation,the high-precision image processing software Mimics Research was utilized to conduct the extraction of dendritic morphologies.Reverse engineering software NX Imageware was employed for the 3D reconstruction of two-dimensional dendritic morphologies,restoring the dendritic characteristics in three-dimensional space.The results demonstrate that in a two-dimensional plane,dendrites connect with each other to form irregularly shaped“ring-like”structures.These dendrites have a thickness greater than 0.1 mm along the Z-axis direction,leading to the envelopment of molten steel by dendrites in a 3D space of at least 0.1 mm.This results in obstructed flow,confirming the“bridging”of dendrites in three-dimensional space,resulting in a tendency for central segregation.Dense and dispersed tiny dendrites,under the influence of heat flow direction,interconnect and continuously grow,gradually forming primary and secondary dendrites in three-dimensional space.After the completion of dendritic solidification and growth,these microdendrites appear dense and dispersed on the two-dimensional plane,providing the nuclei for the formation of new dendrites.When reduction occurs at a solid fraction of 0.46,there is a noticeable decrease in dendritic spacing,resulting in improved central segregation.

文摘Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO_(3)-RR) to ammonia under ambient conditions is expected to be a green process for ammonia synthesis and alleviate water pollution issues.We report a CuO nanoparticles incorporated on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (CuO@NC) catalyst for NO_(3)-RR.Part of Cu(Ⅱ) is reduced to Cu(Ⅰ) during the NO_(3)-RR process to construct Cu(Ⅰ)-Cu(Ⅱ) pairs,confirmed by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy.Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the formation of Cu(Ⅰ) could provide a reaction path with smaller energy barrier for NO_(3)-RR,while Cu(Ⅱ) effectively suppressed the competition of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).As a result,CuO@NC catalyst achieved a Faradaic efficiency of 84.2% at -0.49 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE),and a NH_(3)yield rate of 17.2 mg h^(-1)mg^(-1)cat.at -0.79 V vs.RHE,higher than the HaberBosch process (<3.4 g h^(-1)g^(-1)cat.).This work may open a new avenue for effective NO_(3)-RR by modulating oxidation states.

文摘Civil aviation is one of the industries facing the greatest challenge in reaching carbon neutrality by the middle of this century,and this sector also contributes to adverse impacts on the regional air quality and human health.China exhibits the second highest air passenger turnover worldwide.Our understanding of civil aviation emissionsmust be urgently enhanced,and themitigation potential should be explored.In this study,on the basis of real domestic flight information for 2019,we built a greenhouse gas and air pollution emission inventory for the civil aviation sector in China with the fuel flowmethod based on the cruise and other phases.We thoroughly analyzed emissions by region,aircraft and engine types,and aircraft age,based on which we designed four measures to evaluate the abatement potential.We found that the hydrocarbon(HC),CO,NO_(x),SO_(2),particulate matter(PM)and CO_(2)emissions in 2019 reached 79.9 kt(95%CI[51.6–114.5]),176.3 kt(95%CI[114.5–248.2]),304.2 kt(95%CI[203.4–420.7]),23.2 kt(95%CI[14.2–33.7]),1.0 kt(95%CI[0.61–1.44])and 87.0 Mt(95%CI[57.4–119.6]),respectively.The cruise phase was the major emission phase,accounting for 67%-87%of the total pollutant emissions.If four measures were jointly implemented,the HC,CO,NO_(x),SO_(2),PM and CO_(2)emissions could be reduced by 61%,54%,55%,45%,32%and 38%,respectively.Utilizing lower-emission aircraft and switching travel modes could substantially reduce civil aviation emissions in China.

文摘The development of an e fficacious and easily prepared no nprecious metal electrocatalyst is crucial for the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).This work used a dual template method to prepare the amorphous rare earth-based catalyst PrO_(x)-NC,and optimized the calcination temperature and proportion.The PrO_(x)-NC-900 catalyst has high durability and activity and exhibits superior ORR performance in alkaline electrolytes with an onset potential(E_(0))of 0.96 V and a half-wave potential(E_(1/2))of 0.85 V.The research results indicate that the ORR performance of rare earth oxide composite carbon catalysts can be improved by adjusting oxygen vacancies(Ov).In addition,high specific surface area,N rich defect carbon.increased oxygen vacancies,and the synergistic effect of oxygen vacancies and N-doped carbon interfacial layer play a significant part in the enhancement of ORR.The performance of the zinc air battery assembled with PrO_(x)-NC-900 is significantly improved,and rare earth oxides and carbon frameworks originating from metal organic frameworks(MOFs)contribute to the oxygen electrocatalyst and electron transfer rate of the zinc air battery.This catalyst provides promising information for the development of rare earth metal oxide nanostructures as potential candidate materials for ORR in alkaline media.

文摘Guangdong’s carbon emissions have surpassed the world’s 11th largest emitter.It is indispensable for this province to find a robust cost-effective strategy for reducing carbon emissions.This study employed the Low Emissions Analysis Platform model,marginal cost curves,and Monte Carlo methods to simulate the energy consumption,carbon emissions,and economic benefits of emission reduction in Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2030 under the application of various structural optimization policies and energy-saving technologies.The main findings are as follows:In 2030,Guangdong Province is projected to achieve a carbon emission reduction of 273.6 to 304.6million t CO_(2eq),with a total reduction cost ranging from 1030.9 to 1452.2 billion yuan.Increasing the share of renewable energy,which still has significant growth potential,can lead to a 1.4 times greater reduction in carbon emissions compared to the application of energy-saving technologies,despite the latter yielding 2.3 times more energy savings.The emission reduction measures with net-cost can contribute 71.4%to the total carbon reduction of the province,being much larger than those with net benefits.The power sector plays a critical role in carbon emission reduction within Guangdong Province,with its various measures exerting the most substantial impact on emission reduction quantity and cost,contributing cumulative variance contributions of 90.1%and 84.3%,respectively.It has relatively large potential for emission reduction and relatively low cost of structural adjustment.

文摘Integrating multi-scale sites in a composite catalyst is vital to realize efficient electrocatalysis.Herein,a synergistic composite catalyst consisting of Co atomic sites and in-situ generated PtCo intermetallic compounds (IMCs)(o-PtCo@CoNC) is proposed through Co pre-anchoring and subsequent impregnation-reduction method.High loading of Co atoms provides a chance for in-situ generating PtCo ordered intermetallic compounds.The remaining Co single atoms and PtCo IMCs construct synergistic electrocatalytic micro-regions.Benefiting from the ordered structure,synergistic effect of Pt Co IMCs and Co single atoms,o-PtCo@CoNC exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with mass activity of 1.21 A mgPt-1(at 0.9 V) and5.70 A mgPt-1(at an overpotential of 100 mV),respectively.Besides,o-PtCo@CoNC delivers negligible loss of half-wave potential and overpotential during long-term stability test in acid solutions,with 13 mV decay after 50,000 potential cycles for ORR and a 2.7 mV decay after 20,000 potential cycles for HER.The integration strategy of single-atomic sites coupled IMCs paves the way for enhancing the activity and durability of Pt-based electrocatalysts.
文摘Emergency department nurses face severe occupational stress leading to anxiety,depression,and burnout,which significantly impair their well-being and patientcare quality.This narrative review examined the role of mindfulness-based stress reduction(MBSR)in addressing these challenges.Rooted in nonjudgmental present-moment awareness,MBSR enhances emotional regulation and reduces psychological distress by fostering adaptive coping strategies.Studies have demonstrated its efficacy in lowering anxiety,depressive symptoms,and emotional exhaustion,while improving workplace well-being,empathy,and job satisfaction.Mechanistically,MBSR improves interoceptive awareness and autonomic balance,as evidenced by physiological markers such as heart rate variability.However,gaps remain in long-term efficacy assessments,personalized interventions,and integration with multidisciplinary approaches.Future research should prioritize tailored biomarker-driven programs,longitudinal studies,and scalable implementation strategies in high-stress clinical settings.This review underscores MBSR’s potential as a sustainable,evidence-based tool to enhance emergency department nurses’mental health and professional performance,advocating for broader adoption and further refinement of its practical applications.
