This study investigates the mechanisms underlying the enhanced dynamic response of reinforced concrete blast doors with four-sided restraints in confined space. Explosion tests with TNT charges ranging from 0.15 kg to 0.4 kg were conducted in a confined space,capturing overpressure loads and the dynamic response of the blast door. An internal explosion model incorporating the afterburning effect was developed using LS-DYNA software and validated against experimental data. The results reveal that the TNT afterburning effect amplifies both the initial peak overpressure and the quasi-static overpressure, resulting in increased deformation of the blast door.Within the 0.15-0.4 kg charge range, the initial overpressure peak and quasi-static overpressure increased by an average of 1.79 times and 2.21 times, respectively. Additionally, the afterburning effect enhanced the blast door's deflection by 177%. Compared to open-space scenarios, the cumulative deflection of the blast door due to repeated shock wave impacts is significantly greater in confined spaces. Furthermore, the quasi-static pressure arising from the structural constraints sustains the blast door's deflection at a high level.展开更多

文摘Post-translational modifications(PTMs)regulate the occurrence and development of cancer,and lactylation modification is a new form of PTMs.Recent studies have found that lactic acid modification can regulate the immune tolerance of cancer cells.The classical theory holds that prostate apoptosis response-4(PAR-4)is a tumor suppressor protein.However,our recent research has found that PAR-4 has a biological function of promoting cancer in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and our analysis shows that PAR-4 can be modified of lactic acid.These research evidences suggest that PAR-4 lactylation modification may drive immune tolerance in HCC.Therefore,inhibiting PAR-4 lactylation modification is very likely to increase the sensitivity of HCC to immunotherapy.

文摘Owing to the inherent limitation of the internal pulse ionization chamber within the AlphaGUARD PQ2000 radon monitor,that is,its inability to discriminate the energy levels of α particles,the ingress of^(220)Rn from the surrounding environment,along with its decay progeny,poses a substantive challenge in accurately determining the^(222)Rn concentration in the measurement outcomes.Among these,the protracted influence primarily stems from the two enduring decay progenies,namely^(212)Pb with a half-life of 10.64 h and^(212)Bi with a half-life of 60.54 min.This study explored the influence of^(220)Rn progeny on the measurement results of an AlphaGUARD PQ2000 radon monitor by developing a theoretical calculation model.The response coefficient related to the residual^(220)Rn progeny within the AlphaGUARD PQ2000 radon monitor was experimentally validated.In addition,this study investigated the effects of temperature and wind speed on the sensitivity of the instrument to^(220)Rn gas.The research findings revealed commendable agreement between the experimentally measured response coefficients of the residual^(220)Rn progeny and the corresponding values derived from the theoretical model.Notably,both the response coefficients of the AlphaGUARD PQ2000 radon monitor to^(220)Rn gas and its internal residual^(220)Rn progeny increased with elevated temperatures and increased wind speeds,providing a reference for correcting the impact of^(220)Rn and its progeny on the measurement results of^(222)Rn concentration obtained using the AlphaGUARD PQ2000 radon monitor.

文摘In global navigation satellite system denial environment,cross-view geo-localization based on image retrieval presents an exceedingly critical visual localization solution for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)systems.The essence of cross-view geo-localization resides in matching images containing the same geographical targets from disparate platforms,such as UAV-view and satellite-view images.However,images of the same geographical targets may suffer from occlusions and geometric distortions due to variations in the capturing platform,view,and timing.The existing methods predominantly extract features by segmenting feature maps,which overlook the holistic semantic distribution and structural information of objects,resulting in loss of image information.To address these challenges,dilated neighborhood attention Transformer is employed as the feature extraction backbone,and Multi-feature representations based on Multi-scale Hierarchical Contextual Aggregation(MMHCA)is proposed.In the proposed MMHCA method,the multiscale hierarchical contextual aggregation method is utilized to extract contextual information from local to global across various granularity levels,establishing feature associations of contextual information with global and local information in the image.Subsequently,the multi-feature representations method is utilized to obtain rich discriminative feature information,bolstering the robustness of model in scenarios characterized by positional shifts,varying distances,and scale ambiguities.Comprehensive experiments conducted on the extensively utilized University-1652 and SUES-200 benchmarks indicate that the MMHCA method surpasses the existing techniques.showing outstanding results in UAV localization and navigation.

文摘This paper presents a new type of triangular Sharp Eagle wave energy converter(WEC)platform.On the basis of the linear potential flow theory and the finite element analysis method,the hydrodynamic performance and structural response of the platform are studied,considering the actual platform motion and free surface rise under extreme sea states.First,the effects of the wave frequency and direction on the wave-induced loads and dynamic responses were examined.The motion at a wave direction angle of 0°is relatively low.On this basis,the angle constrained by the two sides of the Sharp Eagle floaters should be aligned with the main wave direction to avoid significant platform motion under extreme sea states.Additionally,the structural response of the platform,including the wave-absorbing floaters,is investigated.The results highlighted that the conditions or locations where yielding,buckling,and fatigue failures occur were different.In this context,the connection area of the Sharp Eagle floaters and platform is prone to yielding failure under oblique wave action,whereas the pontoon and side of the Sharp Eagle floaters are prone to buckling failure during significant vertical motion.Additionally,fatigue damage is most likely to occur at the connection between the middle column on both sides of the Sharp Eagle floaters and the pontoons.The findings of this paper revealed an intrinsic connection between wave-induced loads and the dynamic and structural responses of the platform,which provides a useful reference for the improved design of WECs.

文摘The occurrence of top-down(TD)cracking has gradually become a prevalent issue in semi-rigid base asphalt pavements after prolonged service.A coupled simulation model integrating the finite difference method(FDM)and discrete element method(DEM)was employed to investigate the mechanical behavior of asphalt pavement containing a pre-existing TD crack.The mesoscopic parameters of the model were calibrated based on the mixture modulus and the static mechanical response on the MLS66 test road.Finally,an analysis was performed to assess how variations in TD crack depth and longitudinal length affect the distribution patterns of transverse tensile stress,vertical shear stress,and vertical compressive stress.The results indicate that the vertical propagation of TD crack significantly increases both the tensile stress value and range on the middle surface,while the longitudinal development of TD crack has minimal impact.This phenomenon may result in more severe fatigue failure on the middle surface.With the vertical and longitudinal development of TD crack,the vertical shear stress and compressive stress show obvious"two-stage"characteristics.When the crack's vertical length reaches 40 mm,there is a sharp increase in stress on the upper surface.As the crack continues to propagate vertically,the growth of stress on the upper surface becomes negligible,while the stress in the middle and lower layers increased significantly.Conversely,for longitudinal development of TD crack,any changes in stress are insignificant when their length is less than 180 mm;however,as they continue to develop longitudinally beyond this threshold,there is a sharp increase in stress levels.These findings hold great significance for understanding pavement structure deterioration and maintenance behavior associated with TD crack.
文摘BACKGROUND Although the 2021 Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery(ERAS)provide recommendations for ERAS in gastrointestinal surgery,the clinical application of standard ERAS nursing models is challenging due to the variety of diseases involved in gastrointestinal surgery and the com-plex factors contributing to patient stress responses.Moreover,stress responses are more severe in older adult patients.Therefore,precision medicine is required to improve the quality of nursing care and promote postoperative recovery in gastrointestinal surgery.and demonstrate nursing benefits through clinical practice.METHODS This randomized clinical trial first established an evidence-based nursing ERAS protocol in older adult patients based on literature related to perioperative nursing measures for gastrointestinal surgery stress response.Next,392 older adult patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery and were admitted to our hospital between December 2021 and June 2023 were categorized into two groups to receive evidence-based(study group)or conventional(control group)ERAS nursing models,respectively.Intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery and postoperative recovery indicators were compared between the groups.RESULTS Among 64 domestic and international studies,the stress responses of older adult patients mainly included emotional anxiety,sleep disorders,gastrointestinal discomfort,physical weakness,pain,and swelling.The appropriate nursing interventions included comprehensive psychological counseling,pre-and postoperative nutritional support,temperature control,pain management,and rehabilitation training.Compared with the control group,the study group showed lower heart rate,mean arterial pressure,blood glucose level,and adrenaline level;shorter duration of drainage tube placement,time to first flatus,time to first ambulation,and postoperative hospital stay;lower anxiety scores on postoperative day 3;and lower incidences of postoperative infection,obstruction,poor wound healing,and gastrointestinal reactions were lower in the study group(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION The evidence-based nursing measures targeting stress responses based on the conventional ERAS nursing model resulted in stable intraoperative physiological parameters during surgery,promoted postoperative recovery,and reduced the incidence of complications.
文摘The DDR(DNA damage response)is an essential cellular mechanism that detects and repairs DNA lesions to maintain genomic stability.Dysregulation of DDR pathways is frequently observed in human tumors,leading to increased genomic instability and promoting tumor progression.Consequently,targeting DDR mechanisms has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in oncology.This review provides an overview of the major DDR pathways,highlighting the roles of key proteins involved in various DDR processes.A detailed understanding of these molecular mechanisms has paved the way for the development of targeted antitumor agents,including inhibitors of PARP1,ATM,ATR,CHK1,CHK2,DNA-PK,and WEE1.Additionally,the significant challenges in the development of DDR inhibitors are examined,including tumor microenvironment heterogeneity,resistance mechanisms,issues with selectivity and toxicity,and the complexities associated with clinical trial design.Finally,future directions and emerging strategies to improve DDR-targeted therapies are discussed.These strategies include biomarker-driven precision medicine,novel combination therapies,advanced drug delivery systems,and the potential application of artificial intelligence to optimize treatment outcomes.

文摘The vibration response and noise caused by subway trains can affect the safety and comfort of superstructures.To study the dynamic response characteristics of subway stations and superstructures under train loads with a hard combination,a numerical model is developed in this study.The indoor model test verified the accuracy of the numerical model.The influence laws of different hard combinations,train operating speeds and modes were studied and evaluated accordingly.The results show that the frequency corresponding to the peak vibration acceleration level of each floor of the superstructure property is concentrated at 10–20 Hz.The vibration response decreases in the high-frequency parts and increases in the lowfrequency parts with increasing distance from the source.Furthermore,the factors,such as train operating speed,operating mode,and hard combination type,will affect the vibration of the superstructure.The vibration response under the reversible operation of the train is greater than that of the unidirectional operation.The operating speed of the train is proportional to its vibration response.The vibration amplification area appears between the middle and the top of the superstructure at a higher train speed.Its vibration acceleration level will exceed the limit value of relevant regulations,and vibration-damping measures are required.Within the scope of application,this study provides some suggestions for constructing subway stations and superstructures.

文摘Personalized drug response prediction from molecular data is an important challenge in precision medicine for treating cancer.Computational methods have been widely explored and have become increasingly accurate in recent years.However,the clinical application of prediction methods is still in its infancy due to large discrepancies between preclinial models and patients.We present a novel disentangled synthesis transfer network(DiSyn)for drug response prediction specifically designed for transfer learning from preclinical models to clinical patients.DiSyn uses a domain separation network(DSN)to disentangle drug response related features,employs data synthesis technology to increase the sample size and iteratively trains for better feature disentanglement.DiSyn is pretrained on large-scale unlabeled cancer samples and validated by three datasets,The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA),Investigation of Serial Studies to Predict Your Therapeutic Response With Imaging And moLecular Analysis 2(I-SPY2)and Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research Patient-Derived Xenograft Encyclopedia(NIBR PDXE),achieving competitive performance with the state-of-the-art methods on cancer patients and mice.Furthermore,the application of DiSyn to thousands of breast cancer patients show the heterogeneity in drug responses and demonstrate its potential value in biomarker discovery and drug combination prediction.

文摘Macrophages undergo dynamic transitions between M1 and M2 states,exerting profound influences on both inflammatory and regenerative processes.The biocompatible and wound-healing properties of decellularized amniotic membrane(d AM)make it a subject of exploration for its potential impact on the anti-inflammatory response of macrophages.Experimental findings unequivocally demonstrate that d AM promotes anti-inflammatory M2 polarization of macrophage,with its cytokine-rich content posited as a potential mediator.The application of RNA sequencing unveils differential gene expression,implicating the hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)signaling pathway in this intricate interplay.Subsequent investigation further demonstrates that d AM facilitates anti-inflammatory M2 polarization of macrophage through the upregulation of epidermal growth factor(EGF),which,in turn,activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)pathway and stabilizes HIF-1α.This cascade results in a noteworthy augmentation of anti-inflammatory gene expression.This study significantly contributes to advancing our comprehension of d AM's immunomodulatory role in tissue repair,thereby suggesting promising therapeutic potential.

文摘There is limited research reported on the multiple loss mechanism of electromagnetic waves(EMW)and the development of interface models.Dielectric loss and magnetic loss,as the two primary attenuation mechanisms in EMW absorbers,still pose challenges,especially in elucidating the correlation between composition,morphology,interface,and performance.Here,we construct 3D hierarchical porous conducting network structures and Schottky heterojunctions(MoNi_(4)@NC-NiFe_(2)O_(4)@NC)with a high density of defects,using trimetallic NiMoFe-MOFs.Synergistic enhancement of the dielectric and magnetic losses is realized through manipulation of the defects,interfaces,phase engineering,and magnetic resonance.In particular,the even dispersion of magnetic MoNi_(4) and NiFe_(2)O_(4)nanoparticles(NPs)within the carbon matrix triggers the creation of multiple heterogeneous interfaces.These inseparable interfaces,along with oxygen vacancies,play a role in enhancing dielectric polarization,while the closely spaced interactions among magnetic units contribute to magnetic loss.After optimizing the interfacial structure,NiFe_(2)O_(4)/MoNi_(4)-NC exhibits remarkable EMW absorption properties.A reflection loss(RL)value of-67.91 dB can be achieved at an ultra-thin thickness of 1.95 mm,and the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB,RL≤-10 dB)is as high as 5.76 GHz.Furthermore,we conducted radar scattering cross-section(RCS)simulations using computer simulation technology(CST)software,which revealed that NiFe_(2)O_(4)/MoNi_(4)-NC exhibits an RCS reduction value of 39.1 dB m^(2).Hence,this work provides comprehensive guidance for the construction of Schottky heterojunctions for lightweight EMW absorbers from a mechanistic point of view.

文摘The demand response(DR)market,as a vital complement to the electricity spot market,plays a key role in evoking user-side regulation capability to mitigate system-level supply‒demand imbalances during extreme events.While the DR market offers the load aggregator(LA)additional profitable opportunities beyond the electricity spot market,it also introduces new trading risks due to the significant uncertainty in users’behaviors.Dispatching energy storage systems(ESSs)is an effective means to enhance the risk management capabilities of LAs;however,coordinating ESS operations with dual-market trading strategies remains an urgent challenge.To this end,this paper proposes a novel systematic risk-aware coordinated trading model for the LA in concurrently participating in the day-ahead electricity spot market and DR market,which incorporates the capacity allocation mechanism of ESS based on market clearing rules to jointly formulate bidding and pricing decisions for the dual market.First,the intrinsic coupling characteristics of the LA participating in the dual market are analyzed,and a joint optimization framework for formulating bidding and pricing strategies that integrates ESS facilities is proposed.Second,an uncertain user response model is developed based on price‒response mechanisms,and actual market settlement rules accounting for under-and over-responses are employed to calculate trading revenues,where possible revenue losses are quantified via conditional value at risk.Third,by imposing these terms and the capacity allocation mechanism of ESS,the risk-aware stochastic coordinated trading model of the LA is built,where the bidding and pricing strategies in the dual model that trade off risk and profit are derived.The simulation results of a case study validate the effectiveness of the proposed trading strategy in controlling trading risk and improving the trading income of the LA.

文摘BACKGROUND Gallbladder cancer(GBC)is the most common and aggressive subtype of biliary tract cancer(BTC)and has a poor prognosis.A newly developed regimen of gemcitabine,cisplatin,and durvalumab shows promise for the treatment of advanced BTC.However,the efficacy of this treatment for GBC remains unclear.CASE SUMMARY In this report,we present a case in which the triple-drug regimen exhibited marked effectiveness in treating locally advanced GBC,thus leading to a long-term survival benefit.A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with locally advanced GBC,which rendered him ineligible for curative surgery.Following three cycles of therapy,a partial response was observed.After one year of combined therapy,a clinical complete response was successfully achieved.Subsequent maintenance therapy with durvalumab monotherapy resulted in a disease-free survival of 9 months for the patient.The patient experienced tolerable toxicities of reversible grade 2 nausea and fatigue.Tolerable adverse events were observed in the patient throughout the entirety of the treatment.CONCLUSION The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy with durvalumab was proven to be an effective treatment approach for advanced GBC,with manageable adverse events.Further research is warranted to substantiate the effectiveness of the combined regimen in the context of GBC.

文摘A deep-sea mining riser is a crucial component of the system used to lift seafloor mineral resources to the vessel.It is prone to damage and failure because of harsh environmental conditions and internal fluid erosion.Furthermore,damage can impact the response characteristics of the riser,but varying environmental loadings easily mask it.Thus,distin-guishing between riser damage and environmental effects poses a considerable challenge.To address this issue,a cantilevered model is created for a deep-sea mining riser via the concentrated mass method,and a time-domain analytical strategy is developed.The vortex-induced vibration(VIV)response characteristics of the riser are initially examined,considering various damage conditions and flow velocities.The study results revealed four primary observations:(a)effective tension can serve as a reliable indicator for identifying damage at lower velocities;(b)there are noticeable differences in displacement between the healthy and damaged risers in the in-line direction rather than the cross-flow direction;(c)frequency characteristics can more effectively distinguish the damage conditions at high flow velocities,with the mean square frequency and frequency variance being more effective than the centroid frequency and root variance frequency;(d)displacement differences are more sensitive to damage occurring near the top and bottom of the riser,while both velocity variations and structural damage can influence displacements,especially in regions between modal nodes.The vibrational behavior and damage indicators are clarified for structural health monitoring of deep-sea mining risers during lifting operations.

文摘The afterburning of TNT and structural constraints in confined spaces significantly amplify the blast load,leading to severe structural damage. This study investigates the mechanisms underlying the enhanced dynamic response of reinforced concrete blast doors with four-sided restraints in confined space. Explosion tests with TNT charges ranging from 0.15 kg to 0.4 kg were conducted in a confined space,capturing overpressure loads and the dynamic response of the blast door. An internal explosion model incorporating the afterburning effect was developed using LS-DYNA software and validated against experimental data. The results reveal that the TNT afterburning effect amplifies both the initial peak overpressure and the quasi-static overpressure, resulting in increased deformation of the blast door.Within the 0.15-0.4 kg charge range, the initial overpressure peak and quasi-static overpressure increased by an average of 1.79 times and 2.21 times, respectively. Additionally, the afterburning effect enhanced the blast door's deflection by 177%. Compared to open-space scenarios, the cumulative deflection of the blast door due to repeated shock wave impacts is significantly greater in confined spaces. Furthermore, the quasi-static pressure arising from the structural constraints sustains the blast door's deflection at a high level.

文摘β-Ga_(2)O_(3),as one of the important 4th generation semiconductors,is widely used in solar-blind ultraviolet(UV)detectors with a short detection range of 200-280 nm benefiting from its ultra-wide bandgap,strong radiation resistance,and excellent chemical and thermal stabilities.Here,a self-powered photodetector(PD)based on an Ag/β-Ga_(2)O_(3) Schottky heterojunction was designed and fabricated.Through a subtle design of electrodes,the pyro-phototronic effect was discovered,which can be coupled to the common photovoltaic effect and further enhance the performance of the PD.Compared to traditional Ga_(2)O_(3)-based PD,the as-used PD exhibited a self-driving property and a broadband response beyond the bandgap lim-itations,ranging from 200 nm(deep UV)to 980 nm(infrared).Moreover,the photoresponse time was greatly shrunk owing to the coupling effect.Under laser irradiation,with a wavelength of 450 nm and a power density of 8 mW cm-2,the photocurrent could be improved by around 41 times compared with the sole photovoltaic effect.Besides,the performances of the Schottky PD were enhanced at both high and low temperatures.The device also possessed long-term working stability.This paper not only re-veals basic physics lying in the 4th generation semiconductor Ga_(2)O_(3) but also sheds light on the multi-encryption transmission of light information using this PD.
