However, i...Transradial access (TRA) has emerged as the preferred vascular access route forcoronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions due to itssuperior safety profile compared to transfemoral access. However, its widespreadadoption raises concerns regarding structural alterations in the radial artery,which may impact long-term vascular health and future procedural feasibility.TRA is associated with histopathologic changes in the arterial wall, such asintimal injury and hyperplasia, medial remodeling and adventitial inflammation,collectively contributing to radial artery remodeling. Moreover, TRA can inducechanges in radial artery lumen diameter driven by an inflammatory response dueto arterial puncture and mechanical friction during the procedure. Nonetheless, amore clinically significant consequence is radial artery occlusion, which is influencedby various procedural and patient-related factors. Strategies to minimizeremodeling include meticulous pre-procedural ultrasound assessment to ensureappropriate sheath-to-artery size matching, periprocedural pharmacologicalinterventions and implementation of patent hemostasis techniques. This reviewsynthesizes current knowledge regarding the mechanisms, clinical implications,and preventive strategies related to radial artery remodeling following TRA. Further research is needed toelucidate the long-term consequences of radial artery remodeling and to refine preventive strategies for preservingradial artery patency and its suitability for future interventions.展开更多

Radial junction solar cells represent a major advancement in photovoltaic technologies, as they optimize light absorption and charge collection efficiency. The focus is on the impact of the magnetic field and temperature on the decay of transient voltage, which provides crucial information on recombination processes and the lifetime of minority carriers. The results reveal that the magnetic field tends to increase the transient voltage by directly affecting the transient electron density. Indeed, for B > 7 × 10−5 T, the magnetic field prolongs the relaxation time by increasing the transient voltage amplitude. Additionally, rising temperatures accelerate (ranging from 290 K to 450 K) recombination processes, thereby reducing the transient voltage, although this effect is moderated by the presence of a magnetic field. The study highlights the complex interaction between magnetic field and temperature, with significant impacts on the transient behaviour.展开更多

文摘The anchoring capacity of the anchor cable is closely related to the bonding length and radial pressure conditions.Through field pull-out tests,theoretical analysis,numerical simulation,and industrial tests,this study clarifies the relationship between radial pressure and bonding length for the ultimate pullout force and reveals the microscopic failure process of the resin-rock interface in the anchoring system.The results show that the ultimate load increases with the increase of bonding length in three different stages:rapid,slow,and uniform growth.The new mechanical model developed considering radial pressure describes the inverse relationship between radial pressure and the plastic zone on the bonding section,and quantifies the reinforcing effect of confining pressure on the anchoring force.During the pull-out process of the anchor cable,the generation of failure cracks is in the order of orifice,bottom,and middle of the hole.Radial pressure can effectively enhance the ultimate pull-out force,alleviate the oscillation increase of pull-out force,and inhibit resin cracking,but will produce an external crushing zone.It also reveals the synergistic effect between bonding length and radial pressure,and successfully carries out industrial tests of anchor cable support,which ensures the stability of the stope roof and provides an important reference for the design of anchor cable support in deep high-stress mines.

文摘This article investigates the radial electromagnetic force,vibration,and noise phenomenon in a low-speed,hightorque density spoke-type permanent magnet synchronous machine(ST-PMSM)designed with assisted poles having symmetric and asymmetric topologies.Firstly,an analytical expression for the machine radial electromagnetic force(REMF)is derived to quickly estimate the REMF characteristics for the ST-PMSM with assisted poles having symmetric and asymmetric topologies.The 2D-Fourier decomposition method is applied to investigate the radial electromagnetic force harmonics(REMFHs).Secondly,Finite element(FE)models are designed for the machine structural analysis.Subsequently,the FE models and modal analysis are explored for different design cases of the analyzed machine.Lastly,vibration and noise behavior are investigated using an FE approach for the machine designs under symmetric and asymmetric assisted poles topologies.The findings indicate an increase in the richness of REMFHs,alongside a decrease in both the fundamental frequency and the lowest non-zero order of REMF,attributed to the presence of asymmetric assisted poles.Consequently,it is investigated that while considering the vibration and noise response in STPMSMs designed with asymmetric assisted poles topologies,it is essential to thoroughly account for induced non-zero low-order harmonics and their optimization for better vibration and noise performance.

文摘A rotating neoclassical tearing mode(NTM)can increase the trapped ion losses when the frequency of the NTM is close to the precessional frequency of the trapped particles.When an equilibrium electric field,produced by the rotation of the plasma and the density gradient,is present,the average precessional frequency of the trapped ions changes and so does the mode frequency corresponding to the maximum loss rate.Our results show that when an electric field with a value of 11.2 kV/m at q=2 is included the maximum of the trapped ion losses increases from 27% to 30% based on EAST equilibrium.

文摘Tree growth is extremely vulnerable to climate change,especially in semi-arid areas.Although the response of stem radial growth(SRG)to climate change has been extensively studied,the intra-annual regulatory mechanisms of SRG in trees with different water use strategies and life types remain poorly understood.This study calculated the SRG of four native species in the semi-arid area of the Loess Plateau,China,including two isohydric species(Pinus tabuliformis Carrière and Populus×hopeiensis Hu&Chow)and two anisohydric species(Prunus sibirica L.and Platycladus orientalis(L.)Franco).The results revealed that the intra-annual SRG of all the four tree species exhibited a single peak,and greater SRG was found in anisohydric species.Principal component analysis and structural equation model revealed that atmospheric water,particularly relative humidity,was the main factor affecting the SRG of coniferous species(P.tabuliformis and P.orientalis),whereas the SRG was mainly affected by soil water content in broadleaf species(P.sibirica and P.×hopeiensis).These findings suggested that water use strategies and life types play important roles in SRG and environmental response of trees in semi-arid area.Considering the high climate sensitivity of wood formation in trees,our results highlight the importance of water use strategies and life types of trees in SRG prediction in the context of future climate change in arid and semi-arid areas.

文摘Medium-high maturity continental shale oil is one of the hydrocarbon resources with the most potential for successful development in China.Nevertheless,the unique geological conditions of a multi-lithologic superposition shield the vertical propagation of hydraulic fractures and limit the longitudinal reconstruction in reservoirs,posing a great challenge for large-scale volumetric fracturing.Radial wellbore crosslayer fracturing,which transforms the interaction between the hydraulic fractures and lithologic interface into longitudinal multilayer competitive initiation,could provide a potential solution for this engineering challenge.To determine the longitudinal propagation behaviors of fractures guided by radial wellbores,true triaxial fracturing experiments were performed on multilayer shale-sandstone samples,with a focus on the injection pressure response,fracture morphology,and cross-layer pattern.The effects of the radial borehole length L,vertical stress difference K_(v),injection rate Q,and viscosity m of the fracturing fluid were analyzed.The results indicate that radial wellbores can greatly facilitate fracture initiation and cross-layer propagation.Unlike conventional hydraulic fracturing,there are two distinct fracture propagation patterns in radial wellbore fracturing:cross-layering and skip-layering.The fracture height guided by a radial wellbore is positively correlated with K_(v),Q,and m.Increasing these parameters causes a shift in the fracture initiation from a single root to an asynchronous root/toe end and can improve the cross-layer propagation capacity.Critical parameter thresholds exist for fracture propagation through and across interlayers under the guidance of radial boreholes.A parameter combination of critical cross-layering/skip-layering or alternating displacement/viscosity is recommended to simultaneously improve the fracture height and degree of lateral activation.The degree of correlation of different parameters with the vertical fracture height can be written as L>Q/m>K_(v).Increasing the radial wellbore length can effectively facilitate fracture cross-/skip-layer propagation and reduce the critical threshold of injection parameters,which is conducive to maximizing the stimulated reservoir volume.

文摘Radial rotating oscillating heat pipes(R-OHPs)have excellent thermal performance and great potential for application in the thermal management of rotatory machinery.However,the heat transport behavior and temperature characteristics of R-OHPs are complex,and their understanding is still limited,hence necessitating further research.In this study,thanks to an experimental investigation involving a copper R-OHP running with acetone and water,its thermal performance is evaluated,and then the temperature characteristics are analyzed by nonlinear dynamic analysis.The study reveals that the effective heat transfer coefficient of R-OHPs undergoes a notable increase with rising rotational speed,exhibiting a peak at a threshold speed value.Such a peak is present irrespectively of the working fluid,and,after exceeding the threshold,higher rotational speeds lead to a lower thermal performance.Based on nonlinear dynamic analysis,the power spectrum density of the evaporator temperature indicates a lack of dominant frequency in temperature signals,suggesting a complex behavior characterized by random oscillations of vapor slugs and liquid plugs.In order to better understand how strong the chaotic behavior is,an autocorrelation analysis was carried out,the OHP at static state has a stronger chaos than R-OHPs.The correlation dimension analysis of the evaporator temperature provides values ranging from 1.2 to 1.6,which together with the Lyapunov exponent calculations,further support an evident chaotic nature of R-OHPs.

文摘We developed an imaging technique combining two-photon computed super-resolution microscopy and suction-based stabilization to achieve the resolution of the single-cell level and organelles in vivo.To accomplish this,a conventional two-photon microscope was equipped with a 3D-printed holders,which stabilize the tissue surface within the focal plane of immersion objectives.Further computational image stabilization and noise reduction were applied,followed by superresolution radial fluctuations(SRRF)analysis,doubling image resolution,and enhancing signal-to-noise ratios for in vivo subcellular process investigation.Stabilization of<1μm was obtained by suction,and<25 nm were achieved by subsequent algorithmic image stabilization.A Mito-Dendra2 mouse model,expressing green fluorescent protein(GFP)in mitochondria,demonstrated the potential of long-term intravital subcellular imaging.In vivo mitochondrial fission and fusion,mitochondrial status migration,and the effects of alcohol consumption(modeled as an alcoholic liver disease)and berberine treatment on hepatocyte mitochondrial dynamics are directly observed intravitally.Suction-based stabilization in two-photon intravital imaging,coupled with computational super-resolution holds promise for advancing in vivo subcellular imaging studies.
文摘This paper presents a new criterion for determining the unloading points quantitatively and consistently in a multi-stage triaxial test.The radial strain gradient(RSG)is first introduced as an arc tangent function of the rate of change of radial strain to time.RSG is observed to correlate closely with the stress state of a compressed sample,and reaches a horizontal asymptote as approaching failure.For a given rock type,RSG value at peak stress is almost the same,irrespective of the porosity and permeability.These findings lead to the development of RSG criterion:Unloading points can be precisely determined at the time when RSG reaches a pre-determined value that is a little smaller than or equal to the RSG at peak stress.The RSG criterion is validated against other criteria and the single-stage triaxial test on various types of rocks.Failure envelopes from the RSG criterion match well with those from single-stage tests.A practical procedure is recommended to use the RSG criterion:an unconfined compression or single-stage test is first conducted to determine the RSG at peak stress for one sample,the unloading point is then selected to be a value close to the RSG at peak stress,and the multi-stage test is finally performed on another sample using the pre-selected RSG unloading criterion.Generally,the RSG criterion is applicable for any type of rocks,especially brittle rocks,where other criteria are not suitable.Further,it can be practically implemented on the most available rock mechanical testing instruments.

文摘In this study,an improved integrated radial basis function with nonuniform shape parameter is introduced.The proposed shape parameter varies in each support domain and is defined byθ=1/d_(max),where d_(max)is the maximum distance of any pair of nodes in the support domain.The proposed method is verified and shows good performance.The results are stable and accurate with any number of nodes and an arbitrary nodal distribution.Notably,the support domain should be large enough to obtain accurate results.This method is then applied for transient analysis of curved shell structures made from functionally graded materials with complex geometries.Through several numerical examples,the accuracy of the proposed approach is demonstrated and discussed.Additionally,the influence of various factors on the dynamic behavior of the structures,including the power-law index,different materials,loading conditions,and geometrical parameters of the structures,was investigated.

文摘Solid-state polymer electrolytes are crucial for advancing solid-state lithium-metal batteries owing to their flexibility,excellent manufacturability,and strong interfacial compatibility.However,their widespread applications are hindered by low ionic conductivity at room temperature and lithium dendrite growth.Herein,we report a novel solid-state composite membrane electrolyte design that combines the vertically aligned channel structure and copolymer with a radial gradient composition.Within the vertically aligned channels,the composition of poly(vinyl ethylene carbonate-co-poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate)(P(VEC-PEGDA)varies in a gradient along the radial direction:from the center to the wall of vertically aligned channels,the proportion of vinyl ethylene carbonate(VEC)in the copolymer decreases,while the proportion of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate(PEGDA)increases accordingly.It can be functionally divided into a mechanical-reinforcement layer and a fast-ion-conducting layer.The resulting solid-state composite membrane electrolyte achieves a high critical current density of 1.2 mA cm^(-2)and high ionic conductivity of 2.03 mS cm^(-1)at room temperature.Employing this composite membrane electrolyte,a Li//Li symmetric cell exhibits stable cycling for over 1850 h at 0.2 m A cm^(-2)/0.2 m A h cm^(-2),and a Li//LiFePO4(LFP)battery maintains 77.3% capacity retention at 2 C after 300 cycles.Our work provides insight into the rational design of safer and more efficient solidstate batteries through electrolyte structural engineering.
