文摘BACKGROUND The use of induction immunosuppression agents has improved kidney transplant outcomes,but selecting the optimal agent remains a point of debate.AIM To compare the long-term outcomes of kidney transplant recipients receiving alemtuzumab vs basiliximab induction,focusing on graft function,acute rejection,infection,malignancy,post-transplant glomerulonephritis,and survival,using a propensity score matched cohort design.METHODS Kidney transplant recipients who received alemtuzumab or basiliximab induction from 2014 to 2019 across two nephrology centres in Northwest England were evaluated.Propensity score matching at a 1:1.5 ratio ensured comparability between cohorts.Baseline characteristics,immunosuppression regimens,and outcomes were analyzed.Linear,binary logistic and Cox proportional hazard regression models.RESULTS A total of 436 recipients were included,with a median follow-up of 5.2 years.The matched cohort(n=262)had a mean age of 51.1±13.5 years;39%were female and 92%were white.There was no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of acute rejection[odds ratio(OR)=2.10;95%CI:0.9-4.9;P=0.110].Compared with basiliximab,alemtuzumab was associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at 12 months(-6.6 mL/minute/1.73 m2;95%CI:-10.5 to-2.7;P<0.001)and higher risks of cytomegalovirus viremia(OR=3.2;95%CI:1.6-6.5;P<0.001),BK viremia(OR=2.4;95%CI:1.1-5.5;P=0.02),post-transplant malignancy(OR=6.2;95%CI:1.6-29.9;P=0.013),and death-censored graft loss(hazard ratio=3.6;95%CI:1.2-11.4;P=0.03).No significant differences were observed in post-transplant glomerulonephritis or recipient mortality.CONCLUSION In this propensity score-matched analysis,alemtuzumab induction was associated with lower graft function at 12 months and higher risks of viral infection,post-transplant malignancy,and graft loss compared with basiliximab.These findings highlight the need for further studies to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of alemtuzumab in kidney transplantation.

文摘A cost-effective Fe-P-C nanocrystalline alloy(Fe_(85)P_9C_6)was developed via melt-spinning by eliminating expensive alloying elements and post-annealing steps.The microstructure consists of an amorphous matrix with uniformly dispersed nanocrystalline clusters,featuring an average size of approximately 5 nm.This dual-phase structure remains thermally stable up to 569 K and results in excellent magnetic and mechanical performance,including a high saturation magnetic induction of 1.69 T,Vickers hardness of 621 HV,and outstanding bending ductility.Crystallization proceeds via the transformation of a metastable fcc-(Fe,P,C)phase intoα-Fe,Fe_(3)C,and Fe_(3)P,driven by internal stress arising from atomic size mismatch.Continuous heating and cooling transformation diagrams further reveal that this process can be precisely controlled to optimize phase evolution.The high Fe content and stress-relaxed nanocrystalline clusters contribute to enhanced in-plane magnetic anisotropy and rapid domain response.This simplified,annealing-free approach not only reduces material and processing costs but also provides a viable pathway for scalable fabrication of next-generation soft magnetic alloys with superior performance and manufacturability.

文摘Zinc oxide(ZnO)films,as representative piezoelectric semiconductors,have garnered considerable interest in ultrasonic testing.Current research challenges include maintaining the consistency of continuous c-axis orientation and determining the fundamental link between the electrical structure and piezoelectric response.Accordingly,we have proposed ZnO films incorporated with an orientation-inducing layer(OIL),utilizing orientation induction and rapid deposition technology to regulate the growth structure of the ZnO films.Furthermore,the influence of the competitive mechanism between the film growth and lateral diffusion on the film's growth structure has been investigated.Piezoelectric force microscopy(PFM)analysis demonstrated the regulation and enhancement of ZnO piezoelectric polarization by the OIL.The enhancement mechanism of OIL on film performance was revealed via experimental examination of the film structure,morphology,crystallization orientation,oxygen vacancies,carrier concentration,band structure,and density of states based on density functional theory(DFT).Benefiting from the superior electromechanical response of the ZnO OIL sensor,characterized by fast response recovery times of 2.4 ms/7.7 ms and a sensitivity of 1.09 V/N,the device has successfully demonstrated practical applications in both motion pressure detection and bolt axial force measurement.These findings provide new insights into the ultrasonic detection for aerospace applications of ZnO OIL piezoelectric devices and demonstrate significant potential for health monitoring in connection systems.

文摘Nicotinamide mononucleotide(NMN),a precursor in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD)biosynthesis,has long been recognized for its pivotal role in medicine.Recent investigations have suggested its potential as a plant immunity inducer for controlling fungal diseases.However,whether NMN confers plant broad-spectrum resistance against diverse phytopathogens,and its underlying mechanisms remain ambiguous.In this study,we investigate the effect of NMN against multiple phytopathogens in tobacco.Our results demonstrate that tobacco pretreated with NMN exhibits enhanced resistance against Ralstonia solanacearum CQPS-1,Pseudomonas syringae DC3000ΔhopQ1-1,Phytophthora parasitica,and tobacco mosaic virus(TMV).NMN displays effectiveness within the concentration range of 50–600μmol L^(–1),with75μmol L^(–1)NMN exhibiting the most pronounced effect.The impact of NMN pretreatment could persist for up to 10 days.Beyond tobacco,NMN pretreatment enhances disease resistance in tomato and pepper plants against diverse pathogens,underscoring NMN’s capacity to confer broad-spectrum disease resistance in crops.Moreover,RT-qPCR analysis reveals that NMN significantly upregulates the expression of the pattern-triggered immunity(PTI)marker gene NbCYP71D20 and salicylic acid(SA)marker gene NbPR1a.This suggests that NMN enhances plant resistance by inducing both PTI and SA-mediated immunity.Interestingly,the positive impact of NMN on plant disease resistance is not significantly compromised in both NMN adenylyltransferase(NMNAT)-silenced plants and NAD receptor mutant lecrk-I.8,suggesting the existence of NAD-independent signaling pathways for NMN-induced plant immunity.In conclusion,our study establishes that the bioactive molecule NMN imparts broad-spectrum disease resistance in plants,offering a simple,environmental-friendly,and promising strategy for safeguarding crops against diverse phytopathogens.These findings also provide valuable insights for future in-depth studies into the functional mechanisms of NMN.

文摘Highlights OsCAX2 is localized to tonoplast,and cadmium induces its expression.OsCAX2 overexpression reduces cadmium concentration in indica rice grains by 49.1%.Cadmium(Cd)exposure poses significant health risks to humans,and the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified it as a Group I carcinogen.Cadmium undergoes minimal metabolism in the human body;consequently,prolonged Cd^(2+)exposure can cause severe damage to multiple organs including the liver,kidneys,lungs,bones,and immune system(Shao et al.2024).Rice,one of the three global staple crops,and Cd exposure in humans primarily occurs the consumption of contaminated rice grains.The contribution of rice to the total dietary Cd intake is over 50% for non-smoking Asian populations(Chen et al.2018;Shi et al.2020).

文摘The development of aqueous zinc batteries(AZBs)is severely constrained by uncontrolled dendrite growth and parasitic interfacial reactions.Conventional solvation-dominated additives can mitigate these issues by altering the Zn^(2+)solvation structure,but they often compromise ion transport.Here,we introduce a molecular design principle for a non-solvating additive(NSA)based on inductive effects.Ethyl trifluoroacetate(ETFA),obtained by introducing an electron-withdrawing–CF_(3) group adjacent to the–C=O moiety of ethyl acetate(EA),participates minimally in the solvation structure but preferentially undergoes Gibbs adsorption at the Zn-electrolyte interface.This process reduces interfacial tension,reconstructs the electrical double layer,and orients ETFA molecules such that the hydrophilic–C=O groups face the electrolyte,modulating hydrogen-bonding networks,while the hydrophobic–CF_(3) groups anchor onto Zn to regulate deposition.As a result,dendrite formation and side reactions are simultaneously suppressed.With only 1 vol%ETFA,Zn-Cu cells achieve over 4000 stable cycles with 99.89%Coulombic efficiency.Zn-I_(2) full cells employing the modified electrolyte maintain stable operation for more than 500 cycles(6.8 mg cm^(-2),10μm Zn,N/P=2.86),and 0.3 Ah Zn-I_(2) pouch cells(30 mg cm^(-2),100μm Zn)can cycle stably for over 200 cycles.These findings highlight the critical role of Gibbs adsorption in interfacial regulation and provide insights for the molecular design of high-performance additives for stable Zn anodes.

文摘The transient behavior of DC-link voltage(DCV)significantly affects the low-voltage ride-through for phase-locked loop(PLL)-based grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG)systems.This study investigates the DCV transient behavior of a PLL-based DFIG system under asymmetrical grid faults.First,by considering the coupling characteristics of positive and negative sequence(PNS)components,a nonlinear largesignal model of DCV is developed.Furthermore,the transient characteristics of DCV under varying parameters are analyzed using phase trajectory diagrams.In addition,the transient stability(TS)mechanism of DCV during asymmetrical faults is examined through an en-ergy function approach.The analysis indicates that the transient instability of DCV is primarily associated with the control characteristics of PNS PLLs,while the TS level of DCV is mainly determined by the power coordination control between the rotor side converter and grid side converter.Moreover,a coordinated control strategy is proposed to enhance the TS of DCV under asymmet-rical grid faults.Finally,both simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

文摘To ensure an uninterrupted power supply,mobile power sources(MPS)are widely deployed in power grids during emergencies.Comprising mobile emergency generators(MEGs)and mobile energy storage systems(MESS),MPS are capable of supplying power to critical loads and serving as backup sources during grid contingencies,offering advantages such as flexibility and high resilience through electricity delivery via transportation networks.This paper proposes a design method for a 400 V–10 kV Dual-Winding Induction Generator(DWIG)intended for MEG applications,employing an improved particle swarmoptimization(PSO)algorithmbased on a back-propagation neural network(BPNN).A parameterized finite element(FE)model of the DWIG is established to derive constraints on its dimensional parameters,thereby simplifying the optimization space.Through sensitivity analysis between temperature rise and electromagnetic loss of the DWIG,the main factors influencing the machine’s temperature are identified,and electromagnetic loss is determined as the optimization objective.To obtain an accurate fitting function between electromagnetic loss and dimensional parameters,the BPNN is employed to predict the nonlinear relationship between the optimization objective and the parameters.The Latin hypercube sampling(LHS)method is used for random sampling in the FE model analysis for training,testing,and validation,which is then applied to compute the cost function in the PSO.Based on the relationships obtained by the BPNN,the PSO algorithm evaluates the fitness and cost functions to determine the optimal design point.The proposed optimization method is validated by comparing simulation results between the initial design and the optimized design.

文摘The significant variation in plant regeneration efficiency between indica and japonica rice poses a major challenge for crop improvement.However,the molecular basis for this divergence remains largely unclear.In this study,we investigated the role of Oryza sativa AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 13(OsARF13),a transcription factor involved in callus-related processes.We observed that OsARF13 expression is significantly higher in japonica rice callus than in indica rice callus.This differential expression might be associated with an allelic variation in the promoter region of OsARF13,where a deletion commonly found in indica rice corresponds to the loss of a conserved auxin-responsive element(AuxRE)motif.To functionally characterize OsARF13,we generated CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout mutants.These mutants exhibited a substantial reduction in callus fresh weight,demonstrating that OsARF13 is required for efficient callus induction.Transcriptome analysis of the osarf13 mutant further showed that OsARF13 influences the expression of genes involved in hormone signal transduction and stress responses.Our findings suggest that OsARF13 is a key component of the regulatory network governing callus induction and that natural variation in its promoter might provide a potential explanation for the differential regenerative capacity between japonica and indica rice subspecies.
文摘A wind-turbine power system is often challenged by voltage instability,reactive power imbalance,and limited fault ride-through capability under grid disturbances.Doubly Fed Induction Generator based wind farms,owing to their partial coupling with the grid,are particularly vulnerable to voltage dips and excessive reactive power absorption during fault events.This study proposes an adaptive control strategy based on Model Reference Adaptive Control integrated with stator flux-oriented vector control to regulate active and reactive power of a DFIG-based wind farm connected to a standard IEEE 9-bus power system under fault conditions.The proposed control scheme is developed and validated using detailed MATLAB/Simulink modeling under normal operation,symmetrical three-phase fault conditions,and post-fault recovery scenarios.A three-phase-to-ground fault is applied at the wind farm interconnection bus for a duration of 150 ms to evaluate transient performance.Simulation results demonstrate that the adaptive controller ensures fast power tracking,effective reactive power support,and enhanced voltage recovery compared to a conventional proportional–integral controller.Quantitatively,the proposed method improves voltage recovery time by approximately 45%,reduces active power overshoot by 38%,and lowers total harmonic distortion by 52% following fault clearance.Furthermore,the adaptive controller maintains stable operation under variations in wind speed and machine parameters without requiring retuning,highlighting its robustness against system uncertainties.The results confirm that the proposed control strategy significantly enhances fault ride-through capability,power quality,and dynamic stability of grid-interfaced wind farms.These findings demonstrate the practical applicability of adaptive control techniques for improving the reliability and resilience of modern power systems with high wind energy penetration.
文摘Kidney transplantation(KT)accounts for nearly three-fourths of organ transplants in India,with living donors contributing to 82%of cases.Induction immunosuppression is essential to optimize initial immunosuppression,reduce acute rejections,and enable tailored use of maintenance agents.Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin(rATG)and interleukin-2 receptor anatagonists(IL-2RA/IL-2RBs)are the most widely used induction therapies.However,data on induction practices across India are limited.To evaluate induction immunosuppression practices across KT centers in India and establish a consensus for different subsets of KT recipients.A nationwide online survey was conducted by the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation(ISOT)among its members(400 KT centers).Responses were analyzed to assess induction practices across diverse donor types,age groups,and immunological risk profiles.Heterogeneity in practices prompted consensus building using a modified Delphi process.Literature review and expert panel discussions(April 2024)were followed by structured voting,and 16 consensus statements were finalized.Of 400 centers approached,254 participated.rATG was the most commonly used induction therapy,followed by IL-2RBs;alemtuzumab was least used.Significant heterogeneity was observed in type,dose,and duration of induction therapy.Consensus recommendations were framed:rATG for high immunological risk recipients and deceased donor KTs;IL-2RB or low-dose rATG for low immunological risk;rituximab in ABOincompatible KTs;and tailoring based on age,diabetes,donor type,infection risk,and affordability.This first ISOT consensus provides 16 India-specific statements on induction therapy in KT.It emphasizes risk-stratified,evidenceinformed,and context-appropriate induction strategies,supporting standardization of care across the country.

文摘Improving plasma uniformity is a critical issue in the development of large-area radio-frequency(RF)inductively coupled plasma(ICP)sources.In this work,the effects of coil structure and electromagnetic shielding on the spatial distribution and uniformity of the plasma are systematically investigated using a three-dimensional fluid model.The model integrates plasma and electromagnetic field modules to simulate the discharge characteristics of a large-area RF ICP source with dimensions of 100 cm×50 cm.The results reveal that the electron density distribution varies significantly with the coil structure.For the rotating and translating coil structures,the electron density is high at off-axis positions and low at the center.In contrast,the mirror coil structure exhibits a significantly higher electron density at the chamber center,resulting in a high-center and low-edge density distribution.Among the three configurations,the rotating coil structure provides the best plasma uniformity.The incorporation of electromagnetic shielding further improves plasma uniformity,particularly for the mirror coil structure.For the rotating and translating coil structures,the electron density exhibits a saddle-shaped distribution regardless of electromagnetic shielding.However,introducing electromagnetic shielding into the mirror coil structure reduces the electron density at the chamber center and decreases the non-uniformity degree by 18.4%.Overall,the mirror coil structure with electromagnetic shielding achieves the highest uniformity,with an exceptional plasma uniformity of 94%.This work offers valuable insights for the design of large-area ICP sources in advanced plasma processing systems.

文摘In this paper,a precise and computationally efficient method for estimating multiparameter of permanent magnet synchronous motors(PMSMs)is proposed.This method can realize decoupling estimation with a small amount of data at a single speed,and considers the inductance correlation to improve the estimation accuracy.The saturation in the stator frame is first modeled,and then the related inductance model in the rotating frame is derived.The estimation model is established based on the related inductance model,which is modeled by polynomials of d-axis current(I_(d))for a given q-axis current(I_(q)).Then,the influence of permanent magnet(PM)flux linkage on inductance estimation can be eliminated by using the partial derivative of the correlated inductance model.The estimation model fully explores the inductance correlation and can realize the decoupling of PM flux linkage(λ_(0))and inductance,which greatly improves the inductance estimation accuracy,especially when Id is small.Moreover,this paper realizes the estimation of distortion voltage,PM flux linkage,and stator resistance based on the derived electrical model and mechanical model.Compared with the existing method,this method can use a small amount of data at a single speed to model voltage,which can effectively reduce the influence of measurement noise and improve the calculation efficiency.Experimental verification on a laboratory PMSM prototype shows that the method’s performance of the proposed method is better than existing methods under various working conditions.

文摘Elemental impurities(EIs)in drug products are a specific class of inorganic contaminants that may originate from various sources.These residual impurities provide no therapeutic benefit to patients and,in some cases,may even catalyze the degradation of drug substances.Therefore,their levels in drug products must be controlled within acceptable limits.The International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH)approved the harmonised Guideline for Elemental Impurities(ICH Q3D)on November 12,2014.On January 10,2020,the National Medical Products Administration(NMPA)announced the adoption of the ICH Q3D principles in China.Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)offers distinct advantages in detecting trace levels of EIs in drug products.Various validation criteria for the analytical procedure of ICP-MS are specified in the pharmacopoeias.This study compared differences in the validation criteria for ICP-MS,highlighting that the criteria adopted in the United States Pharmacopeia(USP)and European Pharmacopoeia(EP)were particularly specific and detailed,thereby facilitating analytical method development for drug quality control.The aim was to provide a useful reference for analysts conducting EI determination using ICP-MS.

文摘Virtor(VSG)technology is widely investigated and applied for dual synchronous generatoubly-fed induction generators(DFIGs)to provide virtual inertia.However,under grid faults,the conventional VSG-based DFIG faces challenges of transient overcurrent and instability.The critical limitation for grid-forming DFIGs to withstand serious grid faults is the rotor-side converter(RSC)’s inability to quickly generate proper rotor voltage to counteract transient electromotive force(EMF),which results in transient overcurrent and damage to the RSC.To fill this gap,this study introduces a novel low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)control strategy for the grid-forming DFIG under symmetrical grid fault conditions.To mitigate transient overcurrent,the core mechanism is to regulate the rotor flux linkage to align with the stator flux linkage in an optimal proportion.Under the proposed control strategy,both post-fault rotor current and required rotor voltage are constrained within operational limits.Moreover,fluctuations in electromagnetic torque are efficiently suppressed during grid disturbances.Consequently,the dynamic stability and power support capacity of the DFIG system remain intact throughout the transient process.Finally,simulation studies and experimental results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.

文摘Modern/distributed electric energy systems,with ever larger penetration of renewable(photovoltaic,wind,wave,and hydro)energy sources and time-variable outputs,are in need of stronger/higher frequency and alternating current(AC)(direct current(DC))voltage control.In fact,faster and more stable active and reactive power in the presence of frequency and voltage sags and swells is needed.Power electronics-controlled variable speed generators do not have enough energy storage(inertia)for the scope(static synchronous compensators(STATCOMs)included).This is because power electronics tends to decouple the generator from the power system.While virtual inertia control in doubly fed induction generators(DFIGs)offers a partial solution to these problems,a more robust and comprehensive framework is required for advanced grid support.This is how,by extending the dual-excitation principles,the dualaxis excited electric synchronous generators(DE-SG)provide superior flexibility in two variants summarized here:as a multifunctional DFIG and dual-axis vs.single-axis excited synchronous generator(SG),and as a synchronous condenser(SC),with dual DC and AC excitation(as a no-load DFIG with inertia wheel),where variable speed is used to accelerate/decelerate the SC and thus provide additional assistance in frequency stabilization.These solutions,good for short-time transients,are not meant,however,to replace the large bidirectional energy storage systems(pump-hydro,hydrogen,batteries,etc.)which are crucial for the daily inherent variations of output energy in modern power systems with multiple power sources.The present paper offers a summary of techniques used in the dual-axis excited vs.single-axis excited SGs(SE-SGs),and SCs topologies,modeling,and control for better stability in modern multiple-source energy systems.This survey includes multiple case studies to shed light on prominent methods.
