文摘The interaction between the gut microbiota and cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)-protein kinase A(PKA)signaling pathway in the host's central nervous system plays a crucial role in neurological diseases and enhances communication along the gut–brain axis.The gut microbiota influences the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway through its metabolites,which activates the vagus nerve and modulates the immune and neuroendocrine systems.Conversely,alterations in the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway can affect the composition of the gut microbiota,creating a dynamic network of microbial-host interactions.This reciprocal regulation affects neurodevelopment,neurotransmitter control,and behavioral traits,thus playing a role in the modulation of neurological diseases.The coordinated activity of the gut microbiota and the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway regulates processes such as amyloid-β protein aggregation,mitochondrial dysfunction,abnormal energy metabolism,microglial activation,oxidative stress,and neurotransmitter release,which collectively influence the onset and progression of neurological diseases.This study explores the complex interplay between the gut microbiota and cAMP-PKA signaling pathway,along with its implications for potential therapeutic interventions in neurological diseases.Recent pharmacological research has shown that restoring the balance between gut flora and cAMP-PKA signaling pathway may improve outcomes in neurodegenerative diseases and emotional disorders.This can be achieved through various methods such as dietary modifications,probiotic supplements,Chinese herbal extracts,combinations of Chinese herbs,and innovative dosage forms.These findings suggest that regulating the gut microbiota and cAMP-PKA signaling pathway may provide valuable evidence for developing novel therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases.
文摘A new gold self-relay catalytic annulation/nucleophilic substitution cascade of 1,3-enyne acetates with cyclic ether acetals is reported,enabling highly diastereoselective access to cyclic etherified cyclopentenones with cyclic quaternary centers in moderate to good yields and>19∶1 dr.This catalysis enables the direct construction of two types of carboncyclic skeletons by adjusting the olefin types of 1,3-enyne acetates.When 1,3-enyne acetates bearing a cyclic alkene unit were used,5~6 fused bicarbocyclic products were diastereoselectively synthesized,whereas the reaction of acyclic 1,3-enyne acetates resulted in five-memebered carbocyclic framework.Notably,cyclic ether acetals are commonly used as protecting groups in traditional multistep organic syntheses,and in this reaction,such reagents serve as electrophilic cyclic ether precursors,achieving new uses for old reagents.The current method demonstrates good functional group compatibility,a broad substrate scope and high diastereoselectivity,providing a new synthetic strategy toward functionalized cyclopentenones.
文摘Plant roots are widely known to provide mechanical reinforcement to soils against shearing and further increase slope stability.However,whether roots provide reinforcement to loess cyclic re-sistance and how various factors affect roots reinforcement during seismic loading have rarely been studied.The objective is to conduct a series of cyclic direct simple shear tests and DEM numerical simulation to investigate the cyclic behaviour of rooted loess.The effects of initial static shear stress and loading frequency on the cyclic resistance of root-soil composites were first investigated.After that,cyclic direct simple shear simulations at constant volume were carried out based on the discrete element method(PFC^(3D))to investigate the effects of root geome-try,mechanical traits and root-soil bond strength on the cyclic strength of rooted loess.It was discovered that the roots could effectively improve the cyclic resistance of loess.The cyclic resistance of the root-soil composite decreases with the increase of the initial shear stress,then increases,and improves with the increase of the frequency.The simulation result show that increases in root elastic modulus and root-soil interfacial bond strength can all enhance the cyclic resistance of root-soil composites,and the maximum cyclic resistance of the root-soil composite was obtained when the initial inclination angle of the root system was 90°.

文摘Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes(cVMSs)are widely used in industrial and consumer products because of their thermal stability,low reactivity,and reduced surface tension[1].Their extensive use has resulted in environmental pollution globally.Recognized as very persistent and very bioaccumulative(vPvB),compounds such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane(D4),decamethylcyclopentasiloxane(D5),and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane(D6)are regulated in the European Union[2]and are monitored worldwide.

文摘This study is devoted to a novel fractional friction-damage model for quasi-brittle rock materials subjected to cyclic loadings in the framework of micromechanics.The total damage of material describing the microstructural degradation is decomposed into two parts:an instantaneous part arising from monotonic loading and a fatigue-related one induced by cyclic loading,relating to the initiation and propagation of microcracks.The inelastic deformation arises directly from frictional sliding along microcracks,inherently coupled with the damage effect.A fractional plastic flow rule is introduced using stress-fractional plasticity operations and covariant transformation approach,instead of classical plastic flow function.Additionally,the progression of fatigue damage is intricately tied to subcracks and can be calculated through application of a convolution law.The number of loading cycles serves as an integration variable,establishing a connection between inelastic deformation and the evolution of fatigue damage.In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed model,comparison between analytical solutions and experimental data are carried out on three different rocks subjected to conventional triaxial compression and cyclic loading tests.The evolution of damage variables is also investigated along with the cumulative deformation and fatigue lifetime.The improvement of the fractional model is finally discussed by comparing with an existing associated fatigue model in literature.

文摘The behavior of rigid piles in sandy soils under one-way cyclic oblique tensile loading represents a critical design consideration for floating renewable devices.These piles,when moored with catenary or taut moorings,experience one-way cyclic tensile loads at inclinations ranging from 0°(horizontal)to 90°(vertical).However,the combined effects of cyclic loading and load inclination remain inadequately understood.This study presents findings from centrifuge tests conducted on rough rigid piles installed in dense sand samples.The results demonstrate that load inclinations significantly influence both cyclic response and ultimate capacity of the piles.Based on the observed cyclic response characteristics,the vertical cyclic load amplitude should not exceed 25%of the ultimate bearing capacity to maintain pile stability.A power expression(with exponent m values ranging from 0.055 to 0.065)is proposed for predicting cumulative pile displacement under unidirectional cyclic loading at inclinations from 0°to 60°.The cyclic response exhibits reduced sensitivity to horizontal cyclic load magnitude,with m-value increasing from 0.06 to 0.14 as load magnitude increases from 0.3 to 0.9.For piles maintaining stability under oblique cyclic loading,the average normalized secant stiffness exceeds 1 and increases with decreasing inclination,indicating enhanced pile stiffness under cyclic loading.For load inclinations below 30°,pile stiffness can be determined using logarithmic function.

文摘In the directed energy deposition(DED)process with high heat input,repeated heating and cooling cycles in the deposited layers have a signifcant efect on the microstructure.Because of the diferences in the cyclic numbers and peak temperatures from the lower layer to the upper layer,inhomogeneous microstructures are formed in the as-built components.In this work,a cyclic heat treatment(CHT)with gradual cooling was used to simulate the thermal process during the DED process of Ti-5Al-3Mo-3V-2Cr-2Zr-1Nb-1Fe(Ti5321)near-βTi alloy.The efect of CHT on the microstructural evolution,especially the spheroidization ofαphase,was investigated.As the CHT cycle increased,the volume fraction ofαphase gradually increased from 35.9%after 1 cycle to 60.9%after 100 cycles,and the length ofαphase frst increased and then gradually decreased,while the width ofαphase increased slowly.The aspect ratio ofαphase decreased from 9.90±3.39 after 1 cycle to 2.37±0.87 after 100 cycles,implying that CHT inducedαphase spheroidization.This phenomenon resulted from both the boundary splitting mechanism and the termination migration mechanism during CHT.The evolution of microstructure afects its mechanical properties.As the CHT cycles increased,the hardness increased overall,from 342.8±5.3 HV after 1 cycle to 400.3±3.4 HV after 100 cycles.This work provides a potential method to tailor the microstructure of near-βTi alloys by heat treatment alone,especially for non-deformable additively manufactured metal components.

文摘Rich-nickel layered ternary NCM811 has been widely used in the field of electric vehicles ascribed to its high theoretical specific capacity.However,poor cycling stability and rate-performance hindered its further development.Herein,different amounts of nitrogen-doped carbon were wrapped on the surface of NCM811 via a facile rheological phase method by regulating the amount of dopamine hydrochloride.The effects of the coating amounts on the structure and electrochemical performance are investigated.The DFT calculation,XRD,SEM and XPS reveal that an appropriate amount of nitrogen-doped carbon coating could uniformly form a protective layer on the NCM811 surface and the introduced N could anchor Ni atoms to inhibit the Li^(+)/Ni^(2+)mixing,but excessive amount would reduce Ni^(3+)to Ni^(2+)so as to conversely aggravate Li^(+)/Ni^(2+)mixing.Among the samples,the NCM811-CN0.75 sample exhibits the most excellent electrochemical performance,delivering a high-rate capacity of 151.6 mA·h/g at 10C,and long-term cyclability with 82.2%capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5C,exhibiting remarkable rate-performance and cyclability.

文摘Geosynthetic-encased stone column(GESC)technology for strengthening soft clay offers significant advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness,environmental sustainability,and engineering applicability.It is widely applied in treating soft foundations for railways,bridges,and embankments.This study evaluates the cyclic response of the geosynthetic-encased steel slag column(GESSC)composite foundation employing three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis.A numerical study is conducted to assess the cyclic response of floating GESSC considering the influence of key design variables,including cyclic load amplitude,loading frequency,geosynthetic encasement stiffness,and length-to-diameter ratio.Results show that both cyclic load amplitude and frequency affect the cumulative settlement and excess pore pressure within the GESSC foundation.Within specified limits,increasing the encasement stiffness and column length can significantly improve the GESSC load-bearing characteristics.The parametric study suggests an optimal geosynthetic encasement stiffness for the field prototype columns within the range of 4480–5760 kN/m and a critical steel slag column length of 10 times the column diameter.
