An unsupervised deep learning-based mold level anomaly detection (MLAD) model for real-time monitoring of mold level fluctuations under varying operating conditions was proposed. The MLAD framework employs a two-stage encoder-decoder structure with adversarial training to accurately reconstruct time-series mold level data. In the first stage, the model learns long-term trends by reconstructing input windows, while in the second stage, it employs reconstruction errors as focus scores to capture short-term anomaly patterns. A transformer-based architecture, incorporating multi-head attention mechanisms and positional encoding, enables MLAD to capture both local and global temporal dependencies. In addition, a novel multi-threshold strategy, based on extreme value theory, is implemented to enhance the model’s ability and to adapt to varying operating conditions, including startup, steady-state, and shutdown phases. The model was validated with over 240-h real data from a steel factory. The results demonstrate its superior performance in anomaly detection compared to popular methods, with a precision of 0.9937, recall of 0.9932, and a low false alarm rate of 0.0038. MLAD represents a significant advancement in the detection of nonlinear and nonstationary anomalies in industrial processes, offering an efficient solution for smart manufacturing systems. Therefore, the established model could be used for online anomaly detection of mold level with real-time data.展开更多

文摘We report an immobilized enzyme-catalyzed batch and continuous-flow synthesis of optically pure ethyl(R)-pantothenate((R)-PaOEt),the direct precursor of d-pantothenic acid.Firstly,a ketoreductase mutant designated as M2,carrying two-point mutations of F97L and M242F relative to the wild-type SSCR,was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis,exhibited simultaneously improved activity toward ethyl 2′-ketopantothenate(K-PaOEt)and isopropanol,and could effectively catalyze the stereoselective reduction of K-PaOEt to(R)-PaOEt by using isopropanol as the sacrificial co-substrate to regenerate NADPH.After screening six commercially available carriers,an amino resin LXTE-700 was identified as the best solid support for the immobilization of M2 via the glutaraldehyde activation method.Upon optimization of the immobilization process and reaction conditions,the fabricated immobilized enzyme M2@amino resin demonstrated excellent recyclability and reusability,with the complete conversion of K-PaOEt to(R)-PaOEt being still realized after 12 cycles of reuse.Finally,M2@amino resin-catalyzed synthesis of(R)-PaOEt was successfully implemented in continuous-flow,accomplishing a 6.3 times higher space-time yield than that with the batch synthesis(529.2 versus 84 g L^(-1) d^(-1)).Our developed flow biocatalysis system also features an outstanding operational stability,as evidenced by the 100%conversion rate achieved after 15 consecutive days of operation.

文摘The rapid decay of the surface wettability of plasma-treated polymers remains a critical limitation for their practical application in advanced materials.This study introduces a continuous atmospheric pressure plasma(APP)technique for fabricating polyethylene(PE)separators with durable wettability,and elucidates the underlying mechanism.A systematic comparison of APP treatments with non-deposition and deposition gases,including Ar,Ar/O_(2),Ar/tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane(TMCTS),and Ar/O_(2)/TMCTS,revealed the key impact factors in achieving durable wettability.Owing to the synergistic interactions of SiO_(x)C_(y)H_(z)nanoparticulate deposition,physical etching,and oxidative functionalization,the PE separator treated by Ar/O_(2)/TMCTS exhibited a 17.5-fold electrolyte wetting area compared to the original one.The improved surface energy and roughness of the SiO_(x)C_(y)H_(z)nanoparticle coating enhanced its electrochemical performance.The ionic conductivity increased by 1.9 times,while the charge transfer resistance decreased by 73.7%.Remarkably,owing to further oxidation of the SiO_(x)C_(y)H_(z)nanoparticle coating and the increase in its silica-like structure,the wetting area of the Ar/O_(2)/TMCTS-treated separator was still over 14-fold larger than that of the original separator after aging for 90 days.This study demonstrates an eco-friendly and scalable approach for fabricating high-performance battery separators and provides mechanistic insights into durable wettability by APP.

文摘Autonomous truck platooning,as a novel transportationmode,has attracted significant attention due to its potential to improve transportation efficiency,reduce energy consumption,and lower operational costs.However,this emerging mode poses new challenges to the dynamic performance of long-span bridges.This study aims to investigate the impact of autonomous truck platoons on the dynamic performance of continuous beam bridges.Using finite element software to construct accurate vehicle-bridge interaction models,we simulated the dynamic response between vehicle platoons and bridge structures.The study systematically evaluated the effects of four key factors—vehicle speed,number of formations,vehicle spacing,and vehicle weight—on mid-span deformation and the dynamic amplification factor of bridges.Taking a long-span continuous beam bridge as the research object and employing orthogonal experimental designmethods,we efficiently explored themulti-factor interactive effects on bridge dynamic response.Research results indicate that vehicle speed is the dominant factor affecting the bridge dynamic coefficient,showing a significant positive correlation.The interaction between vehicle spacing and the number of formations has a substantial impact on the dynamic coefficient,particularly under conditions of high-speed operation,large-scale formations,tight vehicle spacing,and heavy-load multi-factor coupling.These conditions can significantly increase mid-span bridge deformation and the dynamic coefficient,potentially exceeding design live-load standard value in specific scenarios.Based on the experimental results,this study recommends that truck formations strictly control vehicle speed during operation,maintain appropriate vehicle spacing,limit the number of formations,and regulate loading conditions to ensure normal bridge operation and long-termdurability.The research findings provide scientific guidance for optimizing truck formation strategies and ensuring bridge safety.

文摘Maintaining constant mold level variations during the continuous casting process is essential to guarantee the effectiveness and quality of steel production. An unsupervised deep learning-based mold level anomaly detection (MLAD) model for real-time monitoring of mold level fluctuations under varying operating conditions was proposed. The MLAD framework employs a two-stage encoder-decoder structure with adversarial training to accurately reconstruct time-series mold level data. In the first stage, the model learns long-term trends by reconstructing input windows, while in the second stage, it employs reconstruction errors as focus scores to capture short-term anomaly patterns. A transformer-based architecture, incorporating multi-head attention mechanisms and positional encoding, enables MLAD to capture both local and global temporal dependencies. In addition, a novel multi-threshold strategy, based on extreme value theory, is implemented to enhance the model’s ability and to adapt to varying operating conditions, including startup, steady-state, and shutdown phases. The model was validated with over 240-h real data from a steel factory. The results demonstrate its superior performance in anomaly detection compared to popular methods, with a precision of 0.9937, recall of 0.9932, and a low false alarm rate of 0.0038. MLAD represents a significant advancement in the detection of nonlinear and nonstationary anomalies in industrial processes, offering an efficient solution for smart manufacturing systems. Therefore, the established model could be used for online anomaly detection of mold level with real-time data.

文摘The transient phenomena of re-oxidation and slag entrapment occurring in the tundish during the ladle change-over process have been proven detrimental to clean steel production.Therefore,an unsteady three-phase turbulence model,coupling velocity,temperature,and phase field was established to study the effect of the ladle shroud immersion depth on the slag eye formation,slag entrainment,slag dragging,air dragging,and flow characteristics during the ladle change-over process of a two-strand tundish.The results showed that reducing the immersion depth decreases the high-velocity region area under the slag layer in the quasi-steady process.During the emptying stage,as the molten bath level gradually decreases,the outlet temperature exhibits a trend of initially decreasing and subsequently increasing across all three shroud immersion depths.However,under a 210 mm shroud immersion depth,molten slag and air are dragged into the shroud,forming slag droplets and causing significant fluctuations,with a maximum scalar velocity of 0.0764 m/s at the monitoring point.In the filling stage,air and molten slag are dragged into the molten bath,forming bubbles and slag droplets at an immersion depth of 210 mm.Bubbles are observed within the molten slag layer,which can readily cause an emulsification phenomenon,making it easier to be dragged as slag droplets.Additionally,the slag eye area measured under 210 mm immersion depth at 45 s is 0.303 m^(2),while the maximum scalar velocity of 2.4259 m/s is detected at 12 s.At an immersion depth of 360 mm,the average area of the slag eye is minimized to 0.06268 m2,with corresponding variances of 0.006753,representing the optimal immersion depth.

文摘A full-sectional microstructure characterization method was developed to investigate the formation of coarse slag rims during the continuous casting of hypo-peritectic steel.The cross-sectional microstructural analysis of typical slag rims for two highly crystalline powders revealed that their formation was primarily driven by the solidification of the liquid slag.Distinct differences were observed in the microstructures of slag rims from the two powders.Powder A(characterized by a higher breaking temperature and viscosity)displayed alternating lamellar microstructures of coarse and fine phases,with the coarse phases composed of akermanite-gehlenite transition phases.In contrast,powder B(with a lower breaking temperature and viscosity)predominantly comprised regular akermanite-gehlenite crystals interspersed with a certain amount of glassy phases.Numerical simulations of a three-phase fluid flow coupled with heat transfer indicate that slag rim formation correlates with mold oscillation.Solidification of the liquid slag at the slag rim front predominantly occurs during the negative stroke of the mold oscillation.The average heating rate during the ascending stage of the mold reaches approximately 100 K·s^(−1),whereas the average cooling rate during the descending stage attains 400 K·s^(−1).This temperature variation leads to the formation of lamellar microstructures,whereas the ascending stage promotes the formation of coarse structures and thicker slag rims.Based on the powder properties,two distinct formation pathways exist for highly crystalline mold powders.For the powders with a higher breaking temperature,higher viscosity,and narrower solidification range(powder A),coarse microstructures and thicker slag rims were preferentially formed.For powders with lower breaking temperature and viscosity and wider solidification ranges(powder B),the liquid slag resisted rapid solidification,and the extended mushy zone allowed the partial liquid slag to persist at the slag rim front,promoting the formation of a thin slag rim.This study enhances the understanding of slag rim formation in highly crystalline mold powders and provides critical insights into the control of longitudinal surface cracks in hypo-peritectic steel.
文摘Objective:To investigate the effects of switching to either Prandilin 25R monotherapy or Prandilin 25R combined with ganagliflozin proline tablets after short-term intensive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion during hospitalization in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on glycemic control,glycometabolic indicators,and cardiovascular risk factors,and to evaluate the safety of the two regimens.Methods:A total of 78 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to our hospital from January 2025 to September 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 39 cases in each group.The control group received monotherapy with insulin lispro protamine recombinant injection(Prandilin 25R)after intensive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion,while the observation group received Prandilin 25R combined with ganagliflozin proline tablets.Continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)was performed for 14 days during the intensive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy phase in the hospital,followed by routine fingertip blood glucose monitoring after 14 days.Glycemic control indicators,glycometabolic indicators,and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions and the 24-hour blood glucose standard deviation were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group,while the time spent within the target blood glucose range was significantly higher(p<0.05).The levels of glycated hemoglobin,fasting blood glucose,and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose were better in the observation group than in the control group;moreover,the body mass index,systolic blood pressure,and blood lipid levels improved more significantly in the observation group than in the control group(p<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia between the two groups.Conclusion:Combination therapy with ganagliflozin proline tablets after short-term intensive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy can effectively improve glycemic variability in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,with good safety.This suggests that ganagliflozin proline tablets have a hypoglycemic advantage in the combination regimen and possess high clinical promotional value.

文摘The flow behavior of molten steel in the thin slab mold under high casting speed conditions was investigated,with a focus on the multi-mode continuous casting and rolling mold.A steel-slag two-phase flow model was established using large eddy simulation,the volume of fluid,and magnetohydrodynamics methods through numerical simulation.The maximum flow velocity and wave height at the steel-slag interface within the mold are critical evaluation criteria for analyzing asymmetric flow under varying casting speeds and electromagnetic braking.The results indicate that the asymmetric flows within the mold do not occur synchronously.The severity of the asymmetric flow correlates with the velocity difference across the steel-slag interface.A greater biased flow prolongs the time required to revert to a steady state.When the magnetic field intensity is set to 0.24 T and the magnetic pole position is at 390 mm from the steel-slag interface,this configuration can reduce the velocity of the steel-slag interface,thereby mitigating the asymmetric flow.Additionally,it can diminish the velocity,impact depth,and impact intensity on the narrow face of the jet,thus improving the distribution of velocity and turbulent kinetic energy within the mold.This configuration prolongs the time required for the steel-slag interface to transition from a stable state to its maximum velocity and shortens the time for the interface to return to stability from an unstable state.Moreover,it ensures the positional stability of the steel-slag interface,confining its position within−3 mm.

文摘Continuous variable cross-section recycled extrusion(CVCE)is an advanced technique of severe plastic deformation.Ti–6Al–4V alloy was deformed with different processing parameters by CVCE,and then the microstructure characterization,refinement mechanism and deformation mechanism were investigated simultaneously.The results demonstrate that the average size of grain is refined from 14 to 2.78μm as Ti–6Al–4V alloy is deformed at 800℃ with a speed of 2 mm/s over 6 passes,and the microstructure is equiaxed and distributed homogeneously along the radial direction.Furthermore,in the process of CVCE,basal slip(0001)<110>is transformed to prismatic slip(100)<110>system and pyramidal slip(112)<113>system,with a reduction in low angle grain boundaries from 69.6%to 61.2%.Moreover,the grain refinement mechanism of CVCE is dislocation multiplication and cross-slip migration within the grain at the initial stage of deformation,which results in the formation of substructures and micro-shear bands as well as grain refinement.In addition,the nucleation and growth of dynamic recrystallization grains are beneficial to eliminating the dislocations,subgrain boundaries and other defects in the matrix,which finally results in the grains refinement.
文摘Under the background of achieving energy efficiency and carbon reduction,the use of Continuous Casting-Direct Hot Charging Rolling(CC-DHCR)technology was explored at the Hot Rolling Plant of Baosteel,China.As temperature variation and temperature uniformity directly affect the rolling quality of the billet,numerical simulations of the billet temperature profile changes in the CC-DHCR were conducted at the start of the industrial trial,and the billet temperature distribution and cross-section temperature difference during its transportation and throughout the heating process were analyzed.According to numerical simulation calculations,the average temperature of billet discharged from the heating furnace was 1150℃,which after subsequent controlled cooling met the final rolling temperature requirements of(880±30)℃for this kind of steel.The maximum temperature difference of the billet discharged from the furnace was within 35 K,which meets the billet heating uniformity requirements of the rolling process.The simulation results were compared with experimental results,and the rationality of the simulation was validated.In addition,the industrial trial billet was rolled,and the rolling quality was good during tracking.In this CC-DHCR industrial trial,the fuel consumption was 28.6 kgce/t(kilogram coal equivalent per ton),a reduction of 33.7%compared with the current traditional process,and CO 2 emissions were reduced by 38.09 kg/t.

文摘BACKGROUND Continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)metrics,such as time in range(TIR)and glycemic risk index(GRI),have been linked to various diabetes-related complications,including diabetic foot(DF).AIM To investigate the association between CGM-derived indicators and the risk of DF in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).METHODS A total of 591 individuals with T2DM(297 with DF and 294 without DF)were enrolled.Relevant clinical data,complications,comorbidities,hematological parameters,and 72-hour CGM data were collected.Logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between these measurements and the risk of DF.RESULTS Individuals with DF exhibited higher mean blood glucose(MBG)levels and increased proportions of time above range(TAR),TAR level 1,and TAR level 2,but lower TIR(all P<0.001).Patients with DF had significantly lower rates of achieving target ranges for TIR,TAR,and TAR level 2 than those without DF(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that GRI,MBG,and TAR level 1 were positively associated with DF risk,while TIR was inversely correlated(all P<0.05).Achieving TIR and TAR was inversely correlated with white blood cell count and glycated hemoglobin A1c levels(P<0.05).Additionally,achieving TAR was influenced by fasting plasma glucose,body mass index,diabetes duration,and antidiabetic medication use.CONCLUSION CGM metrics,particularly TIR and GRI,are significantly associated with the risk of DF in T2DM,emphasizing the importance of improved glucose control.

文摘The application of liquid core reduction(LCR)technology in thin slab continuous casting can refine the internal microstruc-tures of slabs and improve their production efficiency.To avoid crack risks caused by large deformation during the LCR process and to minimize the thickness of the slab in bending segments,the maximum theoretical reduction amount and the corresponding reduction scheme for the LCR process must be determined.With SPA-H weathering steel as a specific research steel grade,the distributions of tem-perature and deformation fields of a slab with the LCR process were analyzed using a three-dimensional thermal-mechanical finite ele-ment model.High-temperature tensile tests were designed to determine the critical strain of corner crack propagation and intermediate crack initiation with various strain rates and temperatures,and a prediction model of the critical strain for two typical cracks,combining the effects of strain rate and temperature,was proposed by incorporating the Zener-Hollomon parameter.The crack risks with different LCR schemes were calculated using the crack risk prediction model,and the maximum theoretical reduction amount for the SPA-H slab with a transverse section of 145 mm×1600 mm was 41.8 mm,with corresponding reduction amounts for Segment 0 to Segment 4 of 15.8,7.3,6.5,6.4,and 5.8 mm,respectively.

文摘During extensive gully land consolidation projects on China's Loess Plateau,many loess-bedrock fill slopes were formed,which frequently experience shallow landslides induced by rainfall.However,studies on loess-bedrock slope failure triggered by continuous heavy rainfall are limited,and the role of the soilerock interface between the original bedrock slope and fill slope in the hydrological and failure process of the slope remains unclear.In this study,we conducted a continuous rainfall model test on a loess-bedrock fill slope.During the test,the responses of volume water content,pore pressure,micro deformation,and movement of the infiltration front were observed.The hydrological process and failure mechanism were then analysed.The findings suggest that the soilerock interface is a predominant infiltration surface within the slope.Rainfall infiltration rates at the interface reach 1.24-2.80 times those of the fill slope,with peak interfacial pore water pressure exceeding that of the loess fill.Furthermore,the infiltration front moves rapidly along the interface toward the bottom of the slope,reducing interfacial cohesion between bedrock and loess.The slope failure modes are summarised into three phases:local failure→flow slide and crack penetration→multistage block retrogressive slides.The cracks generated at the slope surface serve as key determinants of the geometry and scale of shallow landslides.Therefore,we recommend targeted engineering interventions to mitigate the instability and erosion of loessebedrock fill slopes.

文摘Based on thermodynamic calculations and continuous rheological extrusion(CRE)technology,Al-Ti-V-B master alloys were designed and prepared.The morphology and the distribution of the refined phases in the master alloys were analyzed by XRD,SEM,and TEM.The effects of master alloy addition and holding time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 alloy were investigated.Under the optimum refiner addition of 0.3wt.%and the holding time of 20 min,the average grain size of the refined A356 alloy is 151.8±9.11μm,89.62%lower than that of original A356 alloy.The tensile strength and elongation of as-cast A356refined alloy are 196.11 MPa and 5.75%,respectively.After T6 treatment,the tensile strength and elongation of A356 refined alloy are 290.1 MPa and 3.09%,respectively.The fracture morphology is characterized by a predominance of along-crystal fracture with a small amount of through-crystal fracture,attributed to the refined grains.Finer grains promote crack path deflection and localized plastic deformation,enhancing energy dissipation and reducing the tendency for brittle fracture.This study provides a novel approach to improving the mechanical properties of A356 alloy through grain refinement using CRE Al-Ti-V-B master alloy.
