The most important one is that the programs of GPU include a large number of threads, which lead to higher access frequency in cache than the CPU programs.

Herein, we present a 2.5-dimensionaldynamic structural color based on nanogratings of heterogeneous materials, which were obtained by interweaving a pH-responsive hydrogelwith an IP-L photoresist. Transverse gratings printed with pH-responsive hydrogels elongated the period of longitudinal grating in the swollenstate, resulting in pH-tuned structural colors at a 45° incidence. Moreover, the patterned encoding and array printing of dynamic structuralcolors were achieved using grayscale stripe images to accurately encode the periods and heights of the nanogrid structures. Overall, dynamicstructural color networks exhibit promising potential for applications in information encryption and in situ sensing for microfluidic chips.展开更多

Here, we developed an innovative heterogeneous interface engineering strategy to boost the electrocatalytic performance of overall water splitting. This approach involves the synergistic integration of ultra‐fine CoMoP nanocrystals coupled with three‐ dimensional (3D) porous C3N4/N‐doped carbon (NC) architectures, constructing a distinctive CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. The CoMoP/C3N4/NC exhibits distinguished overall water splitting performance. To drive the overall water splitting current of 10 mA cm−2, the CoMoP/C3N4/NC||CoMoP/C3N4/NC electrolysis cell only needs an ultralow cell voltage of 1.496 V. The electronic properties and localized coordination environments characterizations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the improved catalytic activities of CoMoP/C3N4/NC are primarily attributed to the synergistic interfacial coupling between CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. A novel multi‐site synergistic catalytic mechanism was revealed by the DFT calculations, in which the optimum H* adsorption site on CoMoP/C3N4/NC for HER is on the cobalt atoms in CoMoP with the ultralow Gibbs free energy of hydrogen bonding (ΔGH*) of 0.018 eV, while for the OER, the optimum intermediates adsorption site of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC is on the carbon atoms in C3N4/NC. Besides, the intricately engineered 3D hierarchical porous framework of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC can facilitate the ion and electron transport and improve mass transfer, which gives rise to enhanced water splitting performance.展开更多

文摘Heterogeneous metal-catalyzed chemical conversions with a recyclable catalyst are very ideal and challenging for sustainable organic synthesis.A new bipyridyl-Mo(IV)-carbon nitride(CN-K/Mo-Bpy)was prepared by supporting molybdenum complex on C_(3)N_(4)-K and characterized by FT-IR,XRD,SEM,XPS and ICP-OES.Heterogeneous CN–Mo-Bpy catalyst can be applied to the direct amination of nitroarenes and arylboronic acid,thus constructing various valuable diarylamines in high to excellent yields with a wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.It is worth noting that this heterogeneous catalyst has high chemical stability and can be recycled for at least five times without reducing its activity.

文摘Heterogeneous crystallization is a common occurrence during the formation of solidwastes.It leads to the encapsulation of valuable/hazardous metals within the primary phase,presenting significant challenges for waste treatment andmetal recovery.Herein,we proposed a novel method involving the in-situ formation of a competitive substrate during the precipitation of jarosite waste,which is an essential process for removing iron in zinc hydrometallurgy.We observed that the in-situ-formed competitive substrate effectively inhibits the heterogeneous crystallization of jarosite on the surface of anglesite,a lead-rich phase present in the jarositewaste.As a result,the iron content on the anglesite surface decreases from34.8%to 1.65%.The competitive substrate was identified as schwertmannite,characterized by its loose structure and large surface area.Furthermore,we have elucidated a novel mechanism underlying this inhibition of heterogeneous crystallization,which involves the local supersaturation of jarosite caused by the release of ferric and sulfate ions from the competitive substrate.The local supersaturation promotes the preferential heterogeneous crystallization of jarosite on the competitive substrate.Interestingly,during the formation of jarosite,the competitive substrate gradually vanished through a dissolution-recrystallization process following the Ostwald rule,where a metastable phase slowly transitions to a stable phase.This effectively precluded the introduction of impurities and reduced waste volume.The goal of this study is to provide fresh insights into the mechanism of heterogeneous crystallization control,and to offer practical crystallization strategies conducive to metal separation and recovery from solid waste in industries.

文摘In scenarios such as vehicle radiation monitoring and unmanned aerial vehicle radiation detection,rapid measurements using a NaI(Tl)detector often result in low photon counts,weak characteristic peaks,and significant statistical fluctuations.These issues can lead to potential failures in peak-searching-based identification methods.To address the low precision associated with short-duration measurements of radionuclides,this paper proposes an identification algorithm that leverages heterogeneous spectral transfer to develop a low-count energy spectral identification model.Comparative experiments demonstrated that transferring samples from 26 classes of simulated heterogeneous gamma spectra aids in creating a reliable model for measured gamma spectra.With only 10%of target domain samples used for training,the accuracy on real low-count spectral samples was 95.56%.This performance shows a significant improvement over widely employed full-spectrum analysis methods trained on target domain samples.The proposed method also exhibits strong generalization capabilities,effectively mitigating overfitting issues in low-count energy spectral classification under short-duration measurements.
文摘Naturally degradable capsule provides a platform for sustained fragrance release.However,practical challenges such as low encapsulation efficiency and difficulty in sustained release are still limited in using fragranceloaded capsules.In this work,the natural materials sodium alginate and gelatine are dissolved and act as the aqueous phase,lavender is dissolved in caprylic/capric triglyceride(GTCC)as the oil phase,and SiO_(2) nanoparticles with neutralwettability as a solid emulsifier to form O/W Pickering emulsions simultaneously.Finally,multi-core capsules are prepared using the drop injection method with emulsions as templates.The results show that the capsules have been successfully prepared with a spherical morphology and multi-core structure,and the encapsulation rate of multi-core capsules can reach up to 99.6%.In addition,the multi-core capsules possess desirable sustained release performance,the cumulative sustained release rate of fragrance at 25℃over 49 days is only 32.5%.It is attributed to the significant protection of multi-core structure,Pickering emulsion nanoparticle membranes,and hydrogel network shell for encapsulated fragrance.This study is designed to deliver a new strategy for using sustained-release technology with fragrance in food,cosmetics,textiles,and other fields.

文摘Dynamic structuralcolors can change in response todifferent environmental stimuli.This ability remains effectiveeven when the size of the speciesresponsible for the structural coloris reduced to a few micrometers,providing a promising sensingmechanism for solving microenvironmentalsensing problems inmicro-robotics and microfluidics.However, the lack of dynamicstructural colors that can encoderapidly, easily integrate, and accuratelyreflect changes in physical quantities hinders their use in microscale sensing applications. Herein, we present a 2.5-dimensionaldynamic structural color based on nanogratings of heterogeneous materials, which were obtained by interweaving a pH-responsive hydrogelwith an IP-L photoresist. Transverse gratings printed with pH-responsive hydrogels elongated the period of longitudinal grating in the swollenstate, resulting in pH-tuned structural colors at a 45° incidence. Moreover, the patterned encoding and array printing of dynamic structuralcolors were achieved using grayscale stripe images to accurately encode the periods and heights of the nanogrid structures. Overall, dynamicstructural color networks exhibit promising potential for applications in information encryption and in situ sensing for microfluidic chips.

文摘Current research on heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes(HAOPs)predominantly emphasizes catalyst iteration and innovation.Significant efforts have been made to regulate the electron structure and optimize the electron distribution,thereby increasing the catalytic activity.However,this focus often overshadows an equally essential aspect of HAOPs:the adsorption effect.Adsorption is a critical initiator for triggering the interaction of oxidants and contaminants with heterogeneous catalysts.The efficacy of these interactions is influenced by a variety of physicochemical properties,including surface chemistry and pore sizes,which determine the affinities between contaminants and material surfaces.This dispar ity in affinity is pivotal because it underpins the selective removal of contaminants,especially in complex waste streams containing diverse contaminants and competing matrices.Consequently,understanding and mastering these interfacial interactions is fundamentally indispensable not only for improving pro cess efficiency but also for enhancing the selectivity of contaminant removal.Herein,we highlight the importance of adsorption-driven interfacial interactions for fundamentally elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of HAOPs.Such interactions dictate the overall performance of the treatment processes by balancing the adsorption,reaction,and desorption rates on the catalyst surfaces.Elucidating the adsorption effect not only shifts the paradigm in understanding HAOPs but also improves their practical ity in water treatment and wastewater decontamination.Overall,we propose that revisiting adsorption driven interfacial interactions holds great promise for optimizing catalytic processes to develop effective HAOP strategies.

文摘Developing alloys with exceptional strength-ductility combinations across a broad temperature range is crucial for advanced structural applications.The emerging face-centered cubic medium-entropy alloys(MEAs)demonstrate outstanding mechanical properties at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures.They are anticipated to extend their applicability to elevated temperatures,owing to their inherent advantages in leveraging multiple strengthening and deformation mechanisms.Here,a dual heterostructure,comprising of heterogeneous grain structure with heterogeneous distribution of the micro-scale Nb-rich Laves phases,is introduced in a CrCoNi-based MEA through thermo-mechanical processing.Additionally,a high-density nano-coherentγ’phase is introduced within the grains through isothermal aging treatments.The superior thermal stability of the heterogeneously distributed precipitates enables the dual heterostructure to persist at temperatures up to 1073 K,allowing the MEA to maintain excellent mechanical properties across a wide temperature range.The yield strength of the dual-heterogeneous-structured MEA reaches up to 1.2 GPa,1.1 GPa,0.8 GPa,and 0.6 GPa,coupled with total elongation values of 28.6%,28.4%,12.6%,and 6.1%at 93 K,298 K,873 K,and 1073 K,respectively.The high yield strength primar-ily stems from precipitation strengthening and hetero-deformation-induced strengthening.The high flow stress and low stacking fault energy of the dual-heterogeneous-structured MEA promote the formation of high-density stacking faults and nanotwins during deformation from 93 K to 1073 K,and their density increase with decreasing deformation temperature.This greatly contributes to the enhanced strainhardening capability and ductility across a wide temperature range.This study offers a practical solution for designing dual-heterogeneous-structured MEAs with both high yield strength and large ductility across a wide temperature range.

文摘In this work,a heterogeneous structure(HS)with an alternating distribution of coarse and fineαlamella is fabricated in bimodal Ti6242 alloy via insufficient diffusion of alloying elements induced by fast heat-ing treatment.Instead of a distinct interface between the primaryα_(p)hase(α_(p))andβ_(t)ransformation microstructure(β_(t))in the equiaxed microstructure(EM),allα_(p)/β_(t)interfaces are eliminated in the HS,and the largeα_(p)phases are replaced by coarseαlamella.Compared to the EM alloy,the heterostruc-tured alloy exhibits a superior strength-ductility combination.The enhanced strength is predominantly attributed to the increased interfaces ofα/βplates and hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strengthening caused by back stress.Meanwhile,good ductility is ascribed to its uniform distribution of coarse and fineαlamella,which effectively inhibits strain localization and generates an extra HDI hardening.This can be evidenced by the accumulated geometrically necessary dislocations(GNDs)induced by strain partitioning of the heterostructure.Significantly,the HDI causes extra<c+a>dislocations piling up in the coarseαlamella,which generates an extra strain hardening to further improve the ductility.Such hetero-interface coordinated deformation mechanism sheds light on a new perspective for tailoring bimodal titanium al-loys with excellent mechanical properties.

文摘Real-time assessment of subgrade compaction quality poses a significant challenge in the implementation of intelligent compaction(IC).Current compaction evaluation models are confined to specific scenarios and lack robustness.This study proposes a subgrade compaction strategy that utilizes a heterogeneous dataset to estimate compaction quality across diverse scenarios while maintaining model accuracy.Field compaction tests are conducted in four distinct scenarios,considering various construction parameters.Compaction models are developed using several machine learning algorithms.The datasets are thoroughly assessed in terms of quality,diversity and similarity.The proposed model exhibits good performance in new scenarios by incorporating an additional 5%e8%of new data for retraining.The model's generalization capability is enhanced by conducting a limited number of field tests,which are labor-saving and time-efficient.The model's accuracy consistently improves across diverse scenarios and optimal algorithms.The proposed compaction strategy adopts a physics-and-data dual-driven approach,aimed at practical engineering applications and guiding the compaction procedure.

文摘For large-scale heterogeneous multi-agent systems(MASs)with characteristics of dense-sparse mixed distribution,this paper investigates the practical finite-time deployment problem by establishing a novel crossspecies bionic analytical framework based on the partial differential equation-ordinary differential equation(PDE-ODE)approach.Specifically,by designing a specialized network communication protocol and employing the spatial continuum method for densely distributed agents,this paper models the tracking errors of densely distributed agents as a PDE equivalent to a human disease transmission model,and that of sparsely distributed agents as several ODEs equivalent to the predator population models.The coupling relationship between the PDE and ODE models is established through boundary conditions of the PDE,thereby forming a PDE-ODE-based tracking error model for the considered MASs.Furthermore,by integrating adaptive neural control scheme with the aforementioned biological models,a“Flexible Neural Network”endowed with adaptive and self-stabilized capabilities is constructed,which acts upon the considered MASs,enabling their practical finite-time deployment.Finally,effectiveness of the developed approach is illustrated through a numerical example.

文摘The design of efficient and cost‐effective bifunctional catalysts, which are capable of driving both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is of paramount importance for advancing overall water splitting. Here, we developed an innovative heterogeneous interface engineering strategy to boost the electrocatalytic performance of overall water splitting. This approach involves the synergistic integration of ultra‐fine CoMoP nanocrystals coupled with three‐ dimensional (3D) porous C3N4/N‐doped carbon (NC) architectures, constructing a distinctive CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. The CoMoP/C3N4/NC exhibits distinguished overall water splitting performance. To drive the overall water splitting current of 10 mA cm−2, the CoMoP/C3N4/NC||CoMoP/C3N4/NC electrolysis cell only needs an ultralow cell voltage of 1.496 V. The electronic properties and localized coordination environments characterizations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the improved catalytic activities of CoMoP/C3N4/NC are primarily attributed to the synergistic interfacial coupling between CoMoP/C3N4/NC heterogeneous interface. A novel multi‐site synergistic catalytic mechanism was revealed by the DFT calculations, in which the optimum H* adsorption site on CoMoP/C3N4/NC for HER is on the cobalt atoms in CoMoP with the ultralow Gibbs free energy of hydrogen bonding (ΔGH*) of 0.018 eV, while for the OER, the optimum intermediates adsorption site of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC is on the carbon atoms in C3N4/NC. Besides, the intricately engineered 3D hierarchical porous framework of the CoMoP/C3N4/NC can facilitate the ion and electron transport and improve mass transfer, which gives rise to enhanced water splitting performance.

文摘Protein arginine methyltransferase-6 participates in a range of biological functions,particularly RNA processing,transcription,chromatin remodeling,and endosomal trafficking.However,it remains unclear whether protein arginine methyl transferase-6 modifies neuropathic pain and,if so,what the mechanisms of this effect.In this study,protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression levels and its effect on neuropathic pain were investigated in the spared nerve injury model,chronic constriction injury model and bone cancer pain model,using immunohistochemistry,western blotting,immunoprecipitation,and label-free proteomic analysis.The results showed that protein arginine methyltransferase-6 mostly co-localized withβ-tubulinⅢin the dorsal root ganglion,and that its expression decreased following spared nerve injury,chronic constriction injury and bone cancer pain.In addition,PRMT6 knockout(Prmt6~(-/-))mice exhibited pain hypersensitivity.Furthermore,the development of spared nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity to mechanical pain was attenuated by blocking the decrease in protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression.Moreover,when protein arginine methyltransferase-6 expression was downregulated in the dorsal root ganglion in mice without spared nerve injury,increased levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases were observed in the ipsilateral dorsal horn,and the response to mechanical stimuli was enhanced.Mechanistically,protein arginine methyltransferase-6 appeared to contribute to spared nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain by regulating the expression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein-F.Additionally,protein arginine methyltransfe rase-6-mediated modulation of hete rogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein-F expression required amino atids 319 to 388,but not classical H3R2 methylation.These findings indicated that protein arginine methyltransferase-6 is a potential therapeutic target fo r the treatment of peripheral neuro pathic pain.

文摘Nitrogenous compounds(i.e.,amines,amides,nitriles,oximes,amino acids and nitrogen-heterocycles derivatives)are important building blocks for synthetic chemistry,pharmaceuticals,and functional materials.Conventional synthetic strategies involve the use of toxic organic nitrogenous precursors or expensive heterogeneous catalysts under elevated temperatures and pressurized oxygen.Heterogeneous electrocatalysis can initiate the activation of inorganic N sources(i.e.,NH_(3)and NO^(-)_(x))under ambient reactions in liquid phase by applying a small bias,thus allowing the synthesis of value?added nitrogenous compounds from carbonyls,alkenes,keto acids,and even carbon dioxide in a sustainable manner without the use of oxidants/reductants.This review outlines recent de-velopments in electrosynthesis of nitrogenous compounds using inorganic N sources,focusing on reaction mechanisms understanding,the design and optimization of efficient electrocatalysts,and the advances in cell configurations for various C‒N coupling reactions.The limitations and challenges in applications are also discussed.
