文摘Molten salt reactors,being the only reactor type among Generation Ⅳ advanced nuclear reactors that utilize liquid fuels,offer inherent safety,high-temperature,and low-pressure operation,as well as the capability for online fuel reprocessing.However,the fuel-salt flow results in the decay of delayed neutron precursors(DNPs)outside the core,causing fluctuations in the effective delayed neutron fraction and consequently impacting the reactor reactivity.Particularly in accident scenarios—such as a combined pump shutdown and the inability to rapidly scram the reactor—the sole reliance on negative temperature feedback may cause a significant increase in core temperature,posing a threat to reactor safety.To address these problems,this paper introduces an innovative design for a passive fluid-driven suspended control rod(SCR)to dynamically compensate for reactivity fluctuations caused by DNPs flowing with the fuel.The control rod operates passively by leveraging the combined effects of gravity,buoyancy,and fluid dynamic forces,thereby eliminating the need for an external drive mechanism and enabling direct integration within the active region of the core.Using a 150 MWt thorium-based molten salt reactor as the reference design,we develop a mathematical model to systematically analyze the effects of key parameters—including the geometric dimensions and density of the SCR—on its performance.We examine its motion characteristics under different core flow conditions and assess its feasibility for the dynamic compensation of reactivity changes caused by fuel flow.The results of this study demonstrate that the SCR can effectively counteract reactivity fluctuations induced by fuel flow within molten salt reactors.A sensitivity analysis reveals that the SCR’s average density exerts a profound impact on its start-up flow threshold,channel flow rate,resistance to fuel density fluctuations,and response characteristics.This underscores the critical need to optimize this parameter.Moreover,by judiciously selecting the SCR’s length,number of deployed units,and the placement we can achieve the necessary reactivity control while maintaining a favorable balance between neutron economy and heat transfer performance.Ultimately,this paper provides an innovative solution for the passive reactivity control in molten salt reactors,offering significant potential for practical engineering applications.
文摘Conventional multilevel inverters often suffer from high harmonic distortion and increased design complexity due to the need for numerous power semiconductor components,particularly at elevated voltage levels.Addressing these shortcomings,thiswork presents a robust 15-level PackedUCell(PUC)inverter topology designed for renewable energy and grid-connected applications.The proposed systemintegrates a sensor less proportional-resonant(PR)controller with an advanced carrier-based pulse width modulation scheme.This approach efficiently balances capacitor voltage,minimizes steady-state error,and strongly suppresses both zero and third-order harmonics resulting in reduced total harmonic distortion and enhanced voltage regulation.Additionally,a novel switching algorithm simplifies the design and implementation,further lowering voltage stress across switches.Extensive simulation results validate the performance under various resistive and resistive-inductive load conditions,demonstrating compliance with IEEE-519 THD standards and robust operation under dynamic changes.The proposed sensorless PR-controlled 15-PUC inverter thus offers a compelling,cost-effective solution for efficient power conversion in next-generation renewable energy systems.

文摘To address the issue of instability or even imbalance in the orientation and attitude control of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles(QUAVs)under random disturbances,this paper proposes a distributed antidisturbance data-driven event-triggered fusion control method,which achieves efficient fault diagnosis while suppressing random disturbances and mitigating communication conflicts within the QUAV swarm.First,the impact of random disturbances on the UAV swarm is analyzed,and a model for orientation and attitude control of QUAVs under stochastic perturbations is established,with the disturbance gain threshold determined.Second,a fault diagnosis system based on a high-gain observer is designed,constructing a fault gain criterion by integrating orientation and attitude information from QUAVs.Subsequently,a model-free dynamic linearization-based data modeling(MFDLDM)framework is developed using model-free adaptive control,which efficiently fits the nonlinear control model of the QUAV swarm while reducing temporal constraints on control data.On this basis,this paper constructs a distributed data-driven event-triggered controller based on the staggered communication mechanism,which consists of an equivalent QUAV controller and an event-triggered controller,and is able to reduce the communication conflicts while suppressing the influence of random interference.Finally,by incorporating random disturbances into the controller,comparative experiments and physical validations are conducted on the QUAV platforms,fully demonstrating the strong adaptability and robustness of the proposed distributed event-triggered fault-tolerant control system.

文摘The native thelytokous(TH)and arrhenotokous(AR)strains of Neochrysocharis formosa(Westwood)(Hymenoptera:Eulophidae)are promising biocontrol agents against the invasive tomato pest Tuta absoluta(Meyrick)(Lepidoptera:Gelechiidae).This study assessed the performance and preferences of these strains in choice experiments involving five host instar ratios and evaluated their functional responses to seven densities of 1st instar larvae(5 to 40 hosts).In host-attacking behavior assays,an increasing proportion of 1st instar larvae led to a significant rise in host mortality rates for both strains.Both strains exhibited strong preferences for parasitizing and attacking 1st instar larvae over later instars,with the TH strain demonstrating significantly greater host-killing efficacy than the AR strain.Functional response experiments revealed that the attack rates of both strains were positively correlated with host density.Parasitism by both strains and host-stinging behavior by the TH strain showed type Ⅲ functional responses,while host-feeding by both strains and host-stinging by the AR strain followed type Ⅱ functional responses.Early establishment of the TH strain in tomato agroecosystems could enhance the management of T.absoluta.These findings provide critical insights into the functional dynamics of the TH and AR strains of N.formosa that can inform the development of effective biocontrol programs for this globally significant pest.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3%diquafosol sodium eye drops in children wearing orthokeratology lenses and with dry eye disease(DED)or at risk of DED.METHODS:Randomized controlled trials.Children with DED or at risk of DED were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to receive either 3%diquafosol sodium eye drops 6 times daily or a blank control at Chongqing Aier Children’s Eye Hospital from November 2023 to November 2024.The primary endpoint was the change in the Dry Eye Questionnaire-5(DEQ-5)score from baseline at 12 wk.Secondary assessments included non-invasive breakup time(NIBUT),tear meniscus height,Schirmer’s test,corneal fluorescein staining score,and axial length.RESULTS:A total of 80 participants(80 eyes)were enrolled(40 in each group),the average age of the participants was 11.11±1.88 years,with 43 females(54%)and 37 males(46%),and all completed the trial.After 12 wk,the DEQ-5 scores for the diquafosol sodium group and the blank control group were 1.88±2.02 and 2.88±2.79,respectively(P=0.079).The diquafosol sodium group demonstrated a significant improvement in DEQ-5 dryness symptom scores(-0.33±0.66 vs.0.05±0.81,P=0.023)and NIBUT(6.18±3.73 vs.-1.09±4.40 s,P<0.001)at 12 wk.Additionally,the diquafosol sodium group showed no axial length elongation,in contrast to the blank control group,which exhibited elongation(0.00±0.08 vs.0.05±0.10 mm,P=0.013).No other significant differences were found in the secondary endpoints.No adverse events occurred during the trial.CONCLUSION:Although no statistically significant improvements were noted in the overall DEQ-5 scores,the 3%diquafosol sodium eye drops significantly improved dryness symptoms and NIBUT when compared to the blank control group.

文摘Soft-tissue motion introduces significant challenges in robotic teleoperation,especially in medical scenarios where precise target tracking is critical.Latency across sensing,computation,and actuation chains leads to degraded tracking performance,particularly around high-acceleration segments and trajectory inflection points.This study investigates machine learning-based predictive compensation for latency mitigation in soft-tissue tracking.Three models—autoregressive(AR),long short-term memory(LSTM),and temporal convolutional network(TCN)—were implemented and evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets.By aligning the prediction horizon with the end-to-end system delay,we demonstrate that prediction-based compensation significantly reduces tracking errors.Among the models,TCN achieved superior robustness and accuracy on complex motion patterns,particularly in multi-step prediction tasks,and exhibited better latency–horizon compatibility.The results suggest that TCN is a promising candidate for real-time latency compensation in teleoperated robotic systems involving dynamic soft-tissue interaction.
文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of binocular fusional C-optotypes(positive/negative)and 2D planar C-optotypes on the amplitude and stability of transient accommodation(TAC)in adults,and to provide a basis for non-contact myopia intervention.METHODS:This was a self-controlled study.Using redblue 3D technology,four experimental stages were set up:Test A[fixating on the 1 m negative fusional C-optotypes,8△base-in(BI)],Test B(fixating on the 5 m planar C-optotypes),Test C(fixating on the 1 m planar C-optotypes),and Test D[fixating on the 1 m positive fusional C-optotypes,20△base-out(BO)].A WAM-5500 open-field autorefractor was used to measure TAC and accommodative microfluctuations[evaluated via interquartile range(IQR)and median-based coefficient of variation(CVmed)].Additionally,the convergence accommodation to convergence(CA/C)ratio was calculated,and a visual fatigue questionnaire was administered to assess participants’subjective visual comfort.RESULTS:A total of 21 subjects(7 males,14 females;aged 23-41y)with normal binocular visual function were enrolled.The results showed that the TAC increased gradually across the four stages,and these values were Test A(-0.35±0.26 D)<Test B(-0.46±0.24 D)<Test C(-0.77±0.32 D)<Test D(-1.38±0.31 D).There were significant overall differences(F=56.136,P<0.001).Compared with Test C,Test A reduced TAC by 0.42 D(P<0.05),while Test D increased it by 0.61 D(P<0.001).There was no significant intergroup difference in accommodative fluctuation amplitude(all P>0.05),but the fluctuation stability of Test D showed a significant difference between the first 20s and the second 20s(P=0.017).The CA/C ratio was significantly higher in Test D(0.05±0.02 D/△)than in Test A(0.03±0.02 D/△,P=0.007),indicating stronger accommodation-convergence linkage during positive fusional fixation.The visual fatigue scores of all stages were low(median 0-1),with Test D slightly higher than Test B and Test C(P<0.05).No linear correlation was found between TAC and age(all r<0.1,P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Negative fusional C-optotypes induce ciliary muscle relaxation to reduce TAC,while positive fusional C-optotypes enhance accommodation-convergence coordination to increase TAC.The red-blue 3D-based noncontact training mode exhibits good safety(median visual fatigue scores:0-1 across all tests)and provides a novel dual-directional(relaxation-activation)strategy for myopia prevention and control.

文摘Understanding water chemistry in karst regions is crucial for improving global water resource management and deepening our knowledge of the biogeochemical cycles shaping these sensitive environments.Despite advance-ments in karst hydrology,significant gaps remain in long-term trends,underlying processes,and quantitative effects of environmental changes.This is especially true in areas like the Wujiang River(WJ)in China,where human activities such as reservoir construction and land use/cover changes have accelerated hydrochemical changes.We combined recent and historical monitoring data to provide a detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics,evolution,and controlling factors of major ions in WJ.These findings are important for local water management and contribute to global efforts to manage similar karst systems facing human-induced pressures.Our research shows clear seasonal differences in solute concentrations,with higher levels during the dry season.WJ’s water is rich in calcium,with Ca-HCO_(3) ion pairs being the most common.Reservoir monitor-ing stations show much higher levels of NO_(3)^(−)and SO_(4)^(2−)compared to river-type stations,likely due to longer hydraulic retention time and increased acid deposition.The study confirms the significant role of pH and water temperature in rock weathering processes.Land use/cover changes were identified as the primary drivers of solute variations(46.37%),followed by lithology(13.92%)and temperature(8.35%).Over the past two decades,in-tense carbonate weathering has been observed,especially during wet seasons.Among karstic provinces,Guizhou Province stands out with the highest ion concentrations,indicative of its extensive karst coverage and heightened weathering processes.
文摘This study examined a case of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Ralstonia mannitolilytica in a neonatal department in order to determine the source of infection and mode of transmission.Symptoms of infection began to appear on day 16 of admission,and both sputum and catheter tip cultures revealed R.mannitolilytica.The infection control department of the hospital later sampled and identified R.mannitolilytica in the ventilator tube that was used by the patient with the exact gene sequence as the infecting strain.These findings indicate that ventilator tubing is a significant contamination source of this pathogen,and hospitals need to enhance their disinfection methods of ventilator-related devices.

文摘T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(T-ALL)is a common yet severe pediatric cancer treated with Lasparaginase(ASP).To boost the treatment's effectiveness and lessen its toxicity,enzyme@MOF nanoparticles were engineered with a hyaluronic acid(HA)-targeted polyethylene glycol(PEG)surface.These nanoparticles,termed ASP@MOF/PEG-HA,showed efficient uptake by drug-resistant T-ALL cells.The p Hsensitive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8(ZIF-8)based metal-organic framework(MOF)nanoparticles allowed the encapsulated ASP to significantly increase cytotoxicity against T-ALL cells.Furthermore,HA's ability to bind to T-ALL cells with elevated CD44 expression further induced apoptosis in CD44^(+) T-ALL cells with poor prognosis.In animal models,the nanoparticles improved survival rates and reduced the burden of leukemia,demonstrating substantial anti-leukemia effects.Thus,these nanoparticles offer an effective treatment approach for drug-resistant T-ALL cells characterized by increased CD44 expression.

文摘FAPbI3 has been extensively employed in high-performance perovskite solar cells(PSCs)owing to its optimal bandgap and outstanding optoelectronic properties.Nevertheless,it readily undergoes the formation of a photo-inactiveδ-phase during crystallization,and achieving high-qualityα-phase films becomes even more challenging in antisolvent-free fabrication processes.This study introduces a crystallization control strategy based on 2-dimethylaminopyridine(2-DMAP)ligand engineering to establish a“fast nucleation-slow growth”dual-time-domain crystallization mechanism.2-DMAP facilitates the formation of a functional intermediate phase(2-DMAP·PbI_(2)·DMSO)that enables a direct transformation to theα-FAPbI3 phase and effectively suppresses theδ-phase pathway.Theoretical calculations and systematic experimental characterizations demonstrate that 2-DMAP exhibits stronger binding affinity and a greater charge polarization effect than dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO).This promotes the formation of high-density nuclei during spin coating and delays excessive grain growth during annealing,leading to perovskite films with improved crystallinity,fewer defects,and longer carrier lifetimes.As a result,an antisolvent-free PSC device was successfully fabricated,achieving a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 25.10%,one of the highest reported for antisolvent-free spin-coating systems.Under ISOS-L-1 standard conditions,the device retained 84.78%of its initial efficiency after 1500 h of continuous illumination,demonstrating excellent operational stability.Moreover,it exhibited remarkable long-term stability under harsh humid and thermal conditions.This work offers a valuable strategy for the large-scale fabrication of high-performance and antisolvent-free PSCs.

文摘Encapsulation of water-soluble cargoes in millimeter-sized capsules has enabled major advances in various fields,including pharmaceuticals,food,cosmetics,packaging,and materials.However,because of the lack of fabrication precision,low cargo retention,suboptimal mechanical properties,and difficulty in preventing water evaporation,this technique is more challenging than microencapsulation techniques.In this study,we developed a surfactant-free and organic solvent-free water-in-oil in-air emulsification approach for synthesizing double-layered“milli-capsules”for the precise encapsulation,enhanced retention,and force-triggered burst release of water-soluble bioactive cargoes.In particular,we synthesized milli-capsules with a first shell of poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)for the efficient encapsulation of bioactive cargoes and a second shell of beeswax to prolong the retention of the entrapped bioactive compounds.Unlike traditional milli-capsules,which exhibit poor shape uniformity and mechanical stability,we introduced metallic ions to stabilize the interfacial tension and employed constant rotation to balance the gravity,buoyancy,inertial,and viscous forces imposed on the droplets,resulting in uniform and rigid milli-capsules with narrow rupture forces.Furthermore,additional hydrophobic beeswax coating prevented water volatilization and substantially prolonged the shelf life of the encapsulated compounds from a few days to a few months while maintaining their bioactivities.The proposed milli-capsule system addresses the challenge of precise fabrication of large carriers for water-soluble cargoes,representing a significant step toward the long-term storage and controlled release of bioactive cargoes for various industrial applications.

文摘Driven by the global energy transition and carbon neutrality targets,alkaline water electrolysis has emerged as a key technology for coupling variable renewable generation with clean hydrogen production,offering considerable potential for absorbing surplus power and enhancing grid flexibility.However,conventional control architectures typically treat the power converter and electrolyzer as independent units,neglecting their dynamic interactions and thereby limiting overall system performance under practical operating conditions.This review critically examines existing control approaches,ranging from classical proportional-integral schemes to model predictive control,fuzzy-logic algorithms,and data-driven methods,evaluating their effectiveness in managing dynamic response,multivariable coupling,and operational constraints as well as their inherent limitations.Attention is then focused on the performance requirements of the hydrogen-production converter,including current ripple suppression,rapid transient response,adaptive thermal regulation,and stable power delivery.An integrated co‑control framework is proposed,aligning converter output with electrolyzer demand across steady-state operation,variable renewable input,and emergency shutdown scenarios to achieve higher efficiency,extended equipment lifetime,and enhanced operational safety.Finally,prospects for advancing unified control methodologies are outlined,with emphasis on constraint-aware predictive control,machine-learning-enhanced modeling,and real‑time co‑optimization for future alkaline electrolyzer systems.
