It was fabricated by friction surfacing as an additive manufacturing process. To carry out this investigation, Ag was added by 5.3, 10.6, and 16.0 wt.% to an AA2024 consumable rod by inserting holes in it. It was found that due to the strengthening by solid solution and the formation of precipitates and intermetallic containing Ag, the driving force for grain growth is reduced and consequently the grain size of the coating is decreased. After artificial aging heat treatment, the electrical conductivities of the coatings containing 0 and 16.0 wt.% Ag are increased by 4.15%(IACS) and decreased by 2.15%(IACS), respectively. While considering a linear relationship, it can be proposed that for a 1 wt.% Ag increase, the strength and hardness of the coating will be increased by 1.8% and 1.0%, respectively. It was established that the effect of Al6(Cu,Ag)Mg4 precipitate formation on strengthening is greater than that of Ag-rich intermetallic.展开更多

文摘In this study,polyacrylic acid(PAA)films were employed as a model system,and a series of PAA films with tunable water wettability was systematically prepared by varying molecular weight and curing temperature.Using attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR),the molecular configurations of surface carboxyl groups(COOH),free carboxyl(COOH_(f))and hydrogen-bonded carboxyl(COOH_(HB),were directly correlated with the polar component of surface energy(γ^(s,p)).By decomposing theγ^(s,p)values of the PAA thin films as a sum of the contributions of COOH_(f)and COOH_(H B),the intrinsic polar component of surface energy of COOH_(H B)(γ_(H B)^(s,p*))was quantified for the first time as 8.34 mN/m,significantly lower than that of COOH_(f)(γ_(f)^(s,p*)=34 mN/m).This result highlights that hydrogen bonding markedly reduces theγ^(s,p),providing a rational explanation for the relatively large water contact angle observed on PAA thin films.Furthermore,it establishes a thermodynamic basis for estimating the fraction of surface COOH_(H B)groups(f H B)from wettability measurements.Further extension of the model to carboxyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers(COOH-SAMs)revealed that surface COOH density(ΣCOOH)critically regulates wetting behavior:whenΣCOOH ranges from 4.30 to 5.25 nm^(-2),COOH groups predominantly exist in a free state and facilitate effective hydration layers,thereby promoting superhydrophilicity.Overall,this study not only establishes a unified thermodynamic framework linking surface COOH configurations to macroscopic wettability,but also validates its universality by extending it to COOH-SAMs systems,thereby providing a unified theoretical framework for the controllable design of hydrophilicity in various COOH-functionalized surfaces.

文摘Interfacial interactions between rough mineral particles have garnered considerable attention as they directly determine particle agglomeration and floatability.This study comprehensively investigates the agglomeration characteristics of siderite particles after argon(Ar)plasma surface modification through settling tests,flocs size measurements,and fractal dimension calculations.Ar plasma surface modification promotes the agglomeration of siderite particles,as evidenced by increased floc size and density.The agglomeration mechanism induced by Ar plasma surface modification is evaluated using a theoretical model combining the surface element integration(SEI)approach,differential geometry,and the composite Simpson's rule.Changes in surface roughness,wettability,and charge are considered in this model.Compared to the unpretreated siderite particles,the energy barrier for interaction of the 30-min Ar plasma-pretreated siderite particles decreases from 2.3×10-^(17)J to 1.6×10^(-17)J.This reduction provides strong evidence for the agglomeration behavior of siderite particles.Furthermore,flotation experiments confirm that Ar plasma surface modification is conducive to the aggregation flotation of siderite.These findings offer crucial insights into particle aggregation and dispersion behaviors,with notable application in mineral flotation.
文摘Photodetectors can convert light energy into electrical signals,so are widely used in photovoltaics,photon counting,monitoring,and imaging.Photodetectors are easy to prepare high-resolution photochips because of their small size unit integration.However,these photodetector units often exhibit poor photoelectric performance due to material defects and inadequate structures,which greatly limit the functions of devices.Designing modification strategies and micro-/nanostructures can compensate for defects,adjust the bandgap,and develop novel quantum structures,which consequently optimize photovoltaic units and revolutionize optoelectronic devices.Here,this paper aims to comprehensively elaborate on the surface/interface engineering scheme of micro-/nano-photodetectors.It starts from the fundamentals of photodetectors,such as principles,types,and parameters,and describes the influence of material selection,manufacturing techniques,and post-processing.Then,we analyse in detail the great influence of surface/interface engineering on the performance of photovoltaic devices,including surface/interface modification and micro-/nanostructural design.Finally,the applications and prospects of optoelectronic devices in various fields such as miniaturization of electronic devices,robotics,and human–computer interaction are shown.
文摘BACKGROUND Dry eye disease(DED)is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder with rising prevalence.It is closely related to systemic health and psychological factors,such as sleep and mood disorders,which significantly impact the quality of life of patients.AIM To explore the correlations between ocular surface function,sleep quality,and anxiety/depression in patients with DED.METHODS This was a cross-sectional investigative study that included 358 patients with DED between January 2022 and January 2025.Ocular surface was assessed using the ocular surface disease index(OSDI),tear film break-up time,fluorescein staining score,and Schirmer I test.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)were used to evaluate sleep quality and anxiety/depression levels.Correlation and linear regression analyses were used to explore the relationships.RESULTS The mean PSQI score of the patients was 9.94±2.18;the mean SAS score was 47.30±4.90,and the mean SDS score was 50.08±5.52.These suggested a prevalence of sleep and psychological abnormalities.There was a significant correlation between the indicators of ocular surface function(OSDI,tear film break-up time,fluorescein staining,and Schirmer I test)and PSQI,SAS,and SDS scores(P<0.05).Moreover,multiple regression revealed that age≥50 years(β=1.55,P=0.029),PSQI scores(β=0.58,P<0.001),SAS scores(β=0.17,P=0.017),and SDS scores(β=0.15,P=0.019)were independent predictors of the OSDI scores.CONCLUSION Ocular surface function in patients with DED is closely related to sleep quality and anxiety/depression,emphasizing the need for holistic clinical management.

文摘Undesired ice accumulation on infrastructure and transportation systems leads to catastrophic events and significant economic losses.Although various anti-icing surfaces with photothermal effects can initially prevent icing,any thawy droplets remaining on the horizontal surface can quickly re-freezing once the light diminishes.To address these challenges,we have developed a self-draining slippery surface(SDSS)that enables the thawy droplets to self-remove on the horizontal surface,thereby facilitating real-time anti-icing with the aid of sunlight(100 m W cm^(-2)).This is achieved by sandwiching a thin pyroelectric layer between slippery surface and photothermal film.Due to the synergy between the photothermal and pyroelectric layers,the SDSS not only maintains a high surface temperature of 19.8±2.2℃at the low temperature(-20.0±1.0℃),but also generates amount of charge through thermoelectric coupling.Thus,as cold droplets dropped on the SDSS,electrostatic force pushes the droplets off the charged surface because of the charge transfer mechanism.Even if the surface freezes overnight,the ice can melt and drain off the SDSS within 10 min of exposure to sunlight at-20.0±1.0℃,leaving a clean surface.This work provides a new perspective on the anti-icing system in the real-world environments.

文摘The National Geophysical Data Center(NGDC)of the United States has collected aeromagnetic data for input into a series of geomagnetic models to improve model resolution;however,in the Tibetan Plateau region,ground-based observations remain insufficient to clearly reflect the characteristics of the region’s lithospheric magnetism.In this study,we evaluate the lithospheric magnetism of the Tibetan Plateau by using a 3D surface spline model based on observations from>200 newly constructed repeat stations(portable stations)to determine the spatial distribution of plateau geomagnetism,as well as its correlation with the tectonic features of the region.We analyze the relationships between M≥5 earthquakes and lithospheric magnetic field variations on the Tibetan Plateau and identify regions susceptible to strong earthquakes.We compare the geomagnetic results with those from an enhanced magnetic model(EMM2015)developed by the NGDC and provide insights into improving lithospheric magnetic field calculations in the Tibetan Plateau region.Further research reveals that these magnetic anomalies exhibit distinct differences from the magnetic-seismic correlation mechanisms observed in other tectonic settings;here,they are governed primarily by the combined effects of compressional magnetism,thermal magnetism,and deep thermal stress.This study provides new evidence of geomagnetic anomalies on the Tibetan Plateau,interprets them physically,and demonstrates their potential for identifying seismic hazard zones on the Plateau.

文摘The presence of a surface oxide film(B_(2)O_(3))on boron(B)particles significantly compromises their combustion efficiency and kinetic performance in fuel-rich solid propellants.This study proposes an innovative continuous modification strategy combining non-thermal plasma(NTP)etching with fluorocarbon passivation.Characterization and kinetic analysis revealed that reactive plasma species—including atomic hydrogen(H),electronically excited molecular hydrogen(H_(2)^(*)),vibrationally excited molecular hydrogen(H_(2)v),and hydrogen ions(H^(+))—dominate the reduction of B_(2)O_(3)through lowering the transition energy barrier and shifting the reaction spontaneity.Subsequent argon plasma fragmentation of C_(8)F_(18)generates fluorocarbon radicals that form conformal passivation coatings(thickness:7 nm)on purified boron surfaces.The modified boron particles exhibit 37.5℃lower exothermic peak temperature and 27.2%higher heat release(14.8 kJ/g vs.11.6 kJ/g)compared to untreated counterparts.Combustion diagnostics reveal 194%increase in maximum flame height(135.10 mm vs.46.03 mm)and 134%enhancement in flame propagation rate(4.44 cm/s vs.1.90 cm/s).This NTP-based surface engineering approach establishes a scalable pathway for developing highperformance boron-based energetic composites.

文摘Global warming induced by increased CO_(2) has caused marked changes in the ocean.Previous estimates of ocean salinity change in response to global warming have considerable ambiguity,largely attributable to the diverse sensitivities of surface fluxes.This study utilizes data from the Flux-Anomaly-Forced Model Intercomparison Project to investigate how ocean salinity responds to perturbations of surface fluxes.The findings indicate the emergence of a sea surface salinity(SSS)dipole pattern predominantly in the North Atlantic and Pacific fresh pools,driven by surface flux perturbations.This results in an intensification of the“salty gets saltier and fresh gets fresher”SSS pattern across the global ocean.The spatial pattern amplification(PA)of SSS under global warming is estimated to be approximately 11.5%,with surface water flux perturbations being the most significant contributor to salinity PA,accounting for 8.1% of the change after 70 years in experiments since pre-industrial control(piControl).Notably,the zonal-depth distribution of salinity in the upper ocean exhibits lighter seawater above the denser water,with bowed isopycnals in the upper 400 m.This stable stratification inhibits vertical mixing of salinity and temperature.In response to the flux perturbations,there is a strong positive feedback due to consequent freshening.It is hypothesized that under global warming,an SSS amplification of 7.2%/℃ and a mixed-layer depth amplification of 12.5%/℃ will occur in the global ocean.It suggests that the salinity effect can exert a more stable ocean to hinder the downward transfer of heat,which provides positive feedback to future global warming.

文摘Human activities have significantly impacted the land surface temperature(LST),endangering human health;however,the relationship between these two factors has not been adequately quantified.This study comprehensively constructs a Human Activity Intensity(HAI)index and employs the Maximal Information Coefficient,four-quadrant model,and XGBoostSHAP model to investigate the spatiotemporal relationship and influencing factors of HAI-LST in the Yellow River Basin(YRB)from 2000 to 2020.The results indicated that from 2000 to 2020,as HAI and LST increased,the static HAI-LST relationship in the YRB showed a positive correlation that continued to strengthen.This dynamic relationship exhibited conflicting development,with the proportion of coordinated to conflicting regions shifting from 1:4 to 1:2,indicating a reduction in conflict intensity.Notably,only the degree of conflict in the source area decreased significantly,whereas it intensified in the upper and lower reaches.The key factors influencing the HAI-LST relationship include fractional vegetation cover,slope,precipitation,and evapotranspiration,along with region-specific factors such as PM_(2.5),biodiversity,and elevation.Based on these findings,region-specific ecological management strategies have been proposed to mitigate conflict-prone areas and alleviate thermal stress,thereby providing important guidance for promoting harmonious development between humans and nature.

文摘Chloride-based solid electrolytes are considered promising candidates for next-generation high-energy-density all-solid-state batteries(ASSBs).However,their relatively low oxidative decomposition threshold(~4.2 V vs.Li^(+)/Li)constrains their use in ultrahighvoltage systems(e.g.,4.8 V).In this work,ferroelectric Ba TiO_(3)(BTO)nanoparticles with optimized thickness of~50-100 nm were successfully coated onto Li_(2.5)Y_(0.5)Zr_(0.5)Cl_(6)(LYZC@5BTO)electrolytes using a time-efficient ball-milling process.The nanoparticle-induced interfacial ionic conduction enhancement mechanism contributed to the preservation of LYZC’s high ionic conductivity,which remained at 1.06 m S cm^(-1)for LYZC@5BTO.Furthermore,this surface electric field engineering strategy effectively mitigates the voltage-induced self-decomposition of chloride-based solid electrolytes,suppresses parasitic interfacial reactions with single-crystal NCM811(SCNCM811),and inhibits the irreversible phase transition of SCNCM811.Consequently,the cycling stability of LYZC under high-voltage conditions(4.8 V vs.Li+/Li)is significantly improved.Specifically,ASSB cells employing LYZC@5BTO exhibited a superior discharge capacity of 95.4 m Ah g^(-1)over 200 cycles at 1 C,way outperforming cell using pristine LYZC that only shows a capacity of 55.4 m Ah g^(-1).Furthermore,time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that Metal-O-Cl by-products from cumulative interfacial side reactions accounted for 6% of the surface species initially,rising to 26% after 200 cycles in pristine LYZC.In contrast,LYZC@5BTO limited this increase to only 14%,confirming the effectiveness of BTO in stabilizing the interfacial chemistry.This electric field modulation strategy offers a promising route toward the commercialization of high-voltage solid-state electrolytes and energy-dense ASSBs.

文摘The atmospheric surface layer of the tropical coastal ocean is commonly very unstable and experiences weakwind conditions.How the latent(LE)and sensible(H)heat fluxes behave under such conditions are unclear because of the lack of observation stations in the tropics.Thus,this study aims to analyze LE and H and the microclimate parameters influencing them.The authors deployed an eddy covariance system in a tropical coastal region for seven months.The microclimate parameters investigated were wind speed(U),vapor pressure deficit(Δe),temperature difference(ΔT),wind-vapor pressure deficit(UΔe),wind-temperature difference(UΔT),and atmospheric stability(z/L),where z is height and L is the Monin–Obukhov length.On the daily time scale,the results show that LE was more associated with U thanΔe,while H was more related toΔT than U.Cross-wavelet analysis revealed the strong coherence in the LE-U relationship for periods between one and two days,and for H–ΔT,0.5 to 1 day.Correlation and regression analyses confirmed the time series analyses results,where strong positive correlation coefficients(r)were obtained between LE and U(r=0.494)and H andΔT(r=0.365).Compared to other water bodies,the transfer coefficient of moisture(CE N)was found to be small(=0.40×10^(-3))and independent of stability;conversely,the transfer coefficient of heat(CH N)was closer to literature values(=1.00×10^(-3))and a function of stability.
文摘The Arno River Basin(Central Italy)is affected by a considerable anthropogenic pressure due to the presence of large cities and widespread industrial and agricultural practices.In this work,26 water samples from the Arno River and its main tributaries were analyzed to assess the water pollution status.The geochemical composition of the Arno River changes from the source(dominated by a Ca-HCO_(3) facies)to the mouth(where a Na-Cl(SO4)chemistry prevails)with an increasing quality deterioration,as suggested by the Chemical Water Quality Index,due to anthropogenic contributions and seawater intrusion before flowing into the Ligurian Sea.The Ombrone and Usciana tributaries introduce anthropogenic pollutants into the Arno River,whilst Elsa tributary supplies significant contents of geogenic sulfate.The concentrations of dissolved nitrate and nitrite(up to 63 and 9 mg/L,respectively)and the respective isotopic values of𝛿15N and𝛿18O were also determined to understand origin and fate of the N-species in the Arno River Basin surface waters.The combined application of𝛿15N-NO_(3) and𝛿18O-NO_(3) and N-source apportionment modelling allowed the identification of soil organic nitrogen and sewage and domestic wastes as primary sources for dissolved NO_(3)-.The𝛿15N-NO_(2) and𝛿18O-NO_(2) values suggest that the nitrification process affects the ARB waters,thus controlling the abundances and proportion of the N-species.Our work indicates that additional efforts are needed to improve management strategies to reduce the release of nitrogenated species to the surface waters of the Arno River Basin,since little progress has been made from the early 2000s.

文摘In printed circuit board(PCB)manufacturing,surface defects can significantly affect product quality.To address the performance degradation,high false detection rates,and missed detections caused by complex backgrounds in current intelligent inspection algorithms,this paper proposes CG-YOLOv8,a lightweight and improved model based on YOLOv8n for PCB surface defect detection.The proposed method optimizes the network architecture and compresses parameters to reduce model complexity while maintaining high detection accuracy,thereby enhancing the capability of identifying diverse defects under complex conditions.Specifically,a cascaded multi-receptive field(CMRF)module is adopted to replace the SPPF module in the backbone to improve feature perception,and an inverted residual mobile block(IRMB)is integrated into the C2f module to further enhance performance.Additionally,conventional convolution layers are replaced with GSConv to reduce computational cost,and a lightweight Convolutional Block Attention Module based Convolution(CBAMConv)module is introduced after Grouped Spatial Convolution(GSConv)to preserve accuracy through attention mechanisms.The detection head is also optimized by removing medium and large-scale detection layers,thereby enhancing the model’s ability to detect small-scale defects and further reducing complexity.Experimental results show that,compared to the original YOLOv8n,the proposed CG-YOLOv8 reduces parameter count by 53.9%,improves mAP@0.5 by 2.2%,and increases precision and recall by 2.0%and 1.8%,respectively.These improvements demonstrate that CG-YOLOv8 offers an efficient and lightweight solution for PCB surface defect detection.
