Employing survey data collected from rural China in 2014, 2015, and 2016, we examine the effect of parental absence on children's academic achievement using Propensity Score Matching(PSM) and Difference in Difference(DID) methods. The results demonstrate that left-behind children whose parents have migrated for one year have statistically significantly lower academic scores. Academic scores drop lower for fourthgrade students and students from higher-income families. There are also adverse effects on left-behind children's confidence, teacher-student relationships, subjective well-being, and educational expectations if parents migrate for one year. Surprisingly, if parental migration lasts longer(totaling two years), these adverse effects disappear, and student's educational expectations even improve. These results may be because, over time, the adverse effects that occur immediately after parental migration are offset by the positive effects of migration(i.e. higher income). These conclusions can inform migrant parents on ways to utilize their resources to improve the academic performance of their left-behind children.展开更多

Surprisingly, if parental migration lasts longer(totaling two years), these adverse effects disappear, and student's educational expectations even improve. These results may be because, over time, the adverse effects that occur immediately after parental migration are offset by the positive effects of migration(i.e. higher income). These conclusions can inform migrant parents on ways to utilize their resources to improve the academic performance of their left-behind children.

文摘The adsorptive denitrification performance of MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 toward pyridine,aniline or quinoline in simulated fuels with basic nitrogen content of 1732μg/g was evaluated separately.Furthermore,the effects of adsorption temperature,adsorption time and adsorbent dosage on their adsorptive denitrification performance were systematically investigated.The experimental results demonstrated that under a fixed adsorbent dosage of 0.05 g and a simulated fuel volume of 10 mL,the optimal removal efficiency for aniline was achieved at 30℃ within 30 min,whereas higher temperatures and longer times(40℃and 40 min)were required for effective removal of pyridine and quinoline.Density Functional Theory(DFT)calculations were conducted via Materials Studio(MS)software to study the adsorptive denitrification mechanism of MIL-101(Cr)toward these three basic nitrogen-containing compounds.The simulation calculation results revealed that the interaction between pyridine and MIL-101(Cr)primarily involved coordination adsorption.In contrast,the interaction between aniline or quinoline and MIL-101(Cr)proceeded mainly through coordination,with additional contributions fromπ-complexation and hydrogen bonding.The overall adsorption strength order is pyridine>aniline>quinoline.During the adsorption process,pyridine and quinoline transfer electrons to the MIL-101(Cr)surface through the H→C→N→Cr^(3+)pathway,while aniline transfers electrons to the MIL-101(Cr)surface through various pathways,including N→Cr^(3+),N→C→Cr^(3+)and N→H→O.Furthermore,adsorption kinetics studies indicated that the adsorption processes for all three basic nitrogen-containing compounds followed the quasi second order kinetic models.The experimental results on the effect of benzene on the adsorptive denitrification performance of MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 demonstrated that benzene exerted a more significant impact on the adsorption of aniline and quinoline.Finally,the adsorbent was regenerated using ethanol washing.It was found that MIL-101(Cr)-0.5 retained stable denitrification performance after two regeneration cycles.

文摘In composite solid propellants with high aluminum(Al)content and low burning rate,incomplete combustion of the Al powder may occur.In this study,varying lithium(Li)content in Al-Li alloy powder was utilized instead of pure aluminum particles to mitigate agglomeration and enhance the combustion efficiency of solid propellants(Combustion efficiency herein refers to the completeness of metallic fuel oxidation,quantified as the ratio of actual-to-theoretical energy released during combustion)with high Al content and low burning rates.The impact of Al-Li alloy with different Li contents on combustion and agglomeration of solid propellant was investigated using explosion heat,combustion heat,differential thermal analysis(DTA),thermos-gravimetric analysis(TG),dynamic high-pressure combustion test,ignition experiment of small solid rocket motor(SRM)tests,condensation combustion product collection,and X-ray diffraction techniques(XRD).Compared with pure Al,Al-Li alloys exhibit higher combustion heat,which contributes to improved combustion efficiency in Al-Li alloy-containing propellants.DTA and TG analyses demonstrated higher reactivity and lower ignition temperatures for Al-Li alloys.High-pressure combustion experiments at 5 MPa showed that Al-Li alloy fuel significantly decreases combustion agglomeration.The results from theφ75 mm andφ165 mm SRM and XRD tests further support this finding.This study provides novel insights into the combustion and agglomeration behaviors of high-Al,low-burning-rate composite solid propellants and supports the potential application of Al-Li alloys in advanced propellant formulations.

文摘The rapid advancements in computer vision(CV)technology have transformed the traditional approaches to material microstructure analysis.This review outlines the history of CV and explores the applications of deep-learning(DL)-driven CV in four key areas of materials science:microstructure-based performance prediction,microstructure information generation,microstructure defect detection,and crystal structure-based property prediction.The CV has significantly reduced the cost of traditional experimental methods used in material performance prediction.Moreover,recent progress made in generating microstructure images and detecting microstructural defects using CV has led to increased efficiency and reliability in material performance assessments.The DL-driven CV models can accelerate the design of new materials with optimized performance by integrating predictions based on both crystal and microstructural data,thereby allowing for the discovery and innovation of next-generation materials.Finally,the review provides insights into the rapid interdisciplinary developments in the field of materials science and future prospects.

文摘Al/NH_(4)CoF_(3)-Φ(Φ=0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,and 3.0)binary composites and Al-NH_(4)CoF_(3)@P(VDF-HFP)ternary composites are fabricated via ultrasonication-assisted blending and electrostatic spraying.The effect of equivalence ratio(Φ)on the reaction properties is systematically investigated in the binary Al/NH_(4)CoF_(3)system.For ternary systems,electrostatic spraying allows both components to be efficiently encapsulated by P(VDF-HFP)and to achieve structural stabilization and enhanced reactivity through synergistic interfacial interactions.Morphological analysis using SEM/TEM revealed that P(VDF-HFP)formed a protective layer on Al and NH_(4)CoF_(3)particles,improving dispersion,hydrophobicity(water contact angle increased by 80.5%compared to physically mixed composites),and corrosion resistance.Thermal decomposition of NH_(4)CoF_(3)occurred at 265℃,releasing NH_(3)and HF,which triggered exothermic reactions with Al.The ternary composites exhibited a narrowed main reaction temperature range and concentrated heat release,attributed to improved interfacial contact and polymer decomposition.Combustion tests demonstrated that Al-NH_(4)CoF_(3)@P(VDF-HFP)achieved self-sustaining combustion.In addition,a simple validation was done by replacing the Al component in the aluminium-containing propellant,demonstrating its potential application in the propellant field.This work establishes a novel strategy for designing stable,high-energy composites with potential applications in advanced propulsion systems.
文摘Isolation technology can reduce the type of structural damage that earthquakes cause.A new type of composite sliding-rolling friction composite seismic isolation bearing(SRF)with composite sliding friction and rolling friction is proposed.SRF is capable of realizing a parallel arrangement of sliding friction and rolling friction,and the coefficient of dynamic friction shows variability.The proposed static tests on composite bearings were conducted to investigate the effects of the number of shims,loading speed and vertical pressure on the dynamic friction factor.Test results show that the coefficient of dynamic friction first generally decreases and then increases with an increase in sliding speed,prior to again decreasing with an increase in vertical pressure.The dynamic friction factor increases and then decreases with an increase in the number of shims for a four-roll ball.It decreases and then increases with an increase in the number of shims for a five-roll ball.Based on finite element analysis,modeling and analyzing the effects of the coefficient of friction,the number of balls and the number of shims on the hysteresis performance of the support and derive its skeleton curve.The SRF hysteretic performance,dynamic friction factor and the number of rolling balls and shims show significant correlation.

文摘The core components of an aircraft and the source of its lift are its wings,but lift generation is disrupted by the high temperature and pressure generated on the wing surface when an aircraft gun is fired.Here,to investigate how this process influences the aerodynamic parameters of aircraft wings,the k-ωshearstress-transport turbulence model and the nested dynamic grid technique are used to analyze numerically the transient process of the muzzle jet of a 30-mm small-caliber aircraft gun in highaltitude(10 km)flight with an incoming Mach number of Ma=0.8.For comparison,two other models are established,one with no projectile and the other with no wing.The results indicate that when the aircraft gun is fired,the muzzle jet acts on the wing,creating a pressure field thereon.The uneven distribution of high pressure greatly reduces the lift of the aircraft,causing oscillations in its drag and disrupting its dynamic balance,thereby affecting its flight speed and attitude.Meanwhile,the muzzle jet is obstructed by the wing,and its flow field is distorted and deformed,developing upward toward the wing.Because of the influence of the incoming flow,the shockwave front of the projectile changes from a smooth spherical shape to an irregular one,and the motion parameters of the projectile are also greatly affected by oscillations.The present results provide an important theoretical basis for how the guns of fighter aircraft influence the aerodynamic performance of the wings.
文摘This study integrates explicit input enhancement into comparative continuation writing,defined as a task in which learners produce a continuation by comparing their own expression with an input text,aligning with its discourse structure and linguistic features,while developing their own ideas.It aims to examine whether English as a Foreign Language(EFL)learners in China exhibit differences in discourse competence and writing performance when completing comparative continuation writing combined with different input enhancement techniques,and whether the alignment effect occurs at the discourse level.Sixty first-year Chinese senior middle school students were divided into four groups:three groups engaged in comparative continuation writing with varying input enhancement,achieved by combining different techniques,while a control group performed a designated-topic writing task.The results revealed that three comparative continuation writing groups outperformed the designated-topic writing group in discourse competence,particularly in the use of temporal connectives.However,differences and some inconsistencies were observed among the comparative continuation writing groups across individual indices.The study highlights effective ways to incorporate comparative continuation writing into English instruction and demonstrates how explicit input enhancement can complement the task,simultaneously activating the alignment effect proposed by the xu-argument and enhancing discourse competence in writing.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries boast a theoretical energy density as high as 2600 Wh·kg^(−1),positioning them as a highly attractive option for future advanced energy storage systems.Challenges such as slow transformation kinetics and shuttle effects associated with lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)have seriously hindered their practical applications.In this paper,we present a new method for the synthesis of hollow carbon-sphere-supported Co monatomic catalysts(Co-N-C).This new synthesis method achieves pyrolytic coordination using a precursor rich in imide(-RC=N-)polymers.This synthesis method not only improves the adsorbability and catalytic activity of LiPS but also significantly weakens the shuttle effect and generates Co-N-C with superior conductivity,abundant hollow structures,and a high specific surface area,thus efficiently capturing and restricting the movement of LiPS intermediates.The dispersed Co monoatomic catalysts(Co SACs)were anchored to a highly conductive nitrogen-doped carbon framework and exhibited symmetric N-coordination active sites(Co-N_(4))to ensure fast redox kinetics of LiPS and Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S solid-state products.The lithium-sulfur battery with Co-N-C as the sulfur carrier showed excellent discharging capacity of 1146.6 mAh·g^(−1) at a discharge rate of 0.5 C and maintained excellent performance at a high discharge rate of 2 C.The capacity decay rate in 500 cycles was only 0.086%per cycle,reflecting excellent long-term cycle stability.This study highlights the key role of the synergistic effect between single-atom cobalt catalysts and hollow carbon spheres in enhancing the efficiency of lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries.It also provides valuable insights into the construction and fabrication of highly active monatomic catalysts.The catalytic conversion efficiency of lithium polysulfides is significantly enhanced when embedded in hollow carbon architectures,which serves as a critical strategy for optimizing the electrochemical behavior of next-generation Li-S batteries.

文摘The presence of a surface oxide film(B_(2)O_(3))on boron(B)particles significantly compromises their combustion efficiency and kinetic performance in fuel-rich solid propellants.This study proposes an innovative continuous modification strategy combining non-thermal plasma(NTP)etching with fluorocarbon passivation.Characterization and kinetic analysis revealed that reactive plasma species—including atomic hydrogen(H),electronically excited molecular hydrogen(H_(2)^(*)),vibrationally excited molecular hydrogen(H_(2)v),and hydrogen ions(H^(+))—dominate the reduction of B_(2)O_(3)through lowering the transition energy barrier and shifting the reaction spontaneity.Subsequent argon plasma fragmentation of C_(8)F_(18)generates fluorocarbon radicals that form conformal passivation coatings(thickness:7 nm)on purified boron surfaces.The modified boron particles exhibit 37.5℃lower exothermic peak temperature and 27.2%higher heat release(14.8 kJ/g vs.11.6 kJ/g)compared to untreated counterparts.Combustion diagnostics reveal 194%increase in maximum flame height(135.10 mm vs.46.03 mm)and 134%enhancement in flame propagation rate(4.44 cm/s vs.1.90 cm/s).This NTP-based surface engineering approach establishes a scalable pathway for developing highperformance boron-based energetic composites.
文摘Electrical and electronic devices face significant challenges in heatmanagement due to their compact size and high heat flux,which negatively impact performance and reliability.Conventional coolingmethods,such as forced air cooling,often struggle to transfer heat efficiently.In contrast,thermoelectric coolers(TECs)provide an innovative active cooling solution to meet growing thermal management demands.In this research,a refrigerant based on mono ethylene glycol and distilled water was used instead of using gases,in addition to using thermoelectric cooling units instead of using a compressor in traditional refrigeration systems.This study evaluates the performance of a Peltierbased thermalmanagement systemby analyzing the effects of using two,three,and four Peltiermodules on cooling rates,power consumption,temperature reduction,and system efficiency.Experimental results indicate that increasing the number of Peltier modules significantly enhances cooling performance.The four-module system achieved an optimal balance between cooling speed and energy efficiency,reducing the temperature of a liquidmixture(30% mono ethylene glycol+70% distilled water plus laser dyes)to 8℃ in just 17 min.It demonstrated a cooling rate of 0.794℃/min and a high coefficient of performance(COP)of 1.2 while consuming less energy than the two-and three-module systems.Furthermore,the study revealed that increasing the number of modules led to faster air cooling and improved temperature reduction.These findings highlight the importance of selecting the optimal number of Peltier modules to enhance efficiency and cooling speed whileminimizing energy consumption.This makes TEC technology a sustainable and effective solution for applications requiring rapid and reliable thermal management.

文摘This study focused on improving the cathode performance of Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCN)-based perovskite materials through molybdenum(Mo)doping.Pure BSCN and Mo-modified-BSCN—Ea_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.1)Mo_(0.05)O_(3-δ)(B S CNM_(0.05)),Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Nb_(0.05)Mo_(0.1)O_(3-δ)(BSCNM_(0.1)),and Ba_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)Co_(0.85)Mo_(0.15)O_(3-δ)(BSCM)—with Mo doping contents of 5mol%,10mol%,and15mol%,respectively,were successfully prepared using the sol-gel method.The effects of Mo doping on the crystal structure,conductivity,thermal expansion coefficient,oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity,and electrochemical performance were systematically evaluated using X-ray diffraction analysis,thermally induced characterization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,and single-cell performance tests.The results revealed that Mo doping could improve the conductivity of the materials,suppress their thermal expansion effects,and significantly improve the electrochemical performance.Surface chemical state analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that 5mol%Mo doping could facilitate a high adsorbed oxygen concentration leading to enhanced ORR activity in the materials.Density functional theory calculations confirmed that Mo doping promoted the ORR activity in the materials.At an operating temperature of 600℃,the BSCNM_(0.05)cathode material exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical impedance characteristics,with a reduced area specific resistance of 0.048Ω·cm~2,which was lower than that of the undoped BSCN matrix material by 32.39%.At the same operating temperature,an anode-supported single cell using a BSCNM_(0.05)cathode achieved a peak power density of 1477 mW·cm^(-2),which was 30.71%,56.30%,and 171.50%higher than those of BSCN,BSCNM_(0.1),and B SCM,respectively.The improved ORR activity and electrochemical performance of BSCNM_(0.05)indicate that it can be used as a cathode material in low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

文摘Magnesium-based anode materials have attracted significant attention in the energy storage domain because of their high theoretical capacities and low electrochemical potentials.However,in conventional electrolyte systems,magnesium metal electrodes dynamically generate an ion-blocking surface layer,resulting in prominent voltage polarization,which severely limits their practical applications.In this study,ZIF-8/carbon nanotubes(CNTs)coatings were used to modify the anodes of magnesium batteries.Compared with the unaltered magnesium battery,the voltage lag time of the ZIF-8/CNTs coating was shortened from 4 s before modification to 0.26 s,and the battery impedance was lowered by two orders of magnitude.The duration of the discharge platform was increased from 4 h before modification to 6-10 h,the anode utilization rate was more than doubled,and the specific energy density was significantly enhanced compared with the battery before modification.The mechanism indicates that the ZIF-8/CNTs coating can limit the infiltration of corrosive substances,extend their transmission path,and offer more effective protection to the magnesium anode.The incorporation of CNTs improves the conductivity of the battery,and it significantly improves the electrochemical performance of the magnesium battery.
文摘Rectifying circuit,as a crucial component for converting alternating current into direct current,plays a pivotal role in energy harvesting microsystems.Traditional silicon-based or germanium-based rectifier diodes hinder system integration due to their specific manufacturing processes.Conversely,metal oxide diodes,with their simple fabrication techniques,offer advantages for system integration.The oxygen vacancy defect of oxide semiconductor will greatly affect the electrical performance of the device,so the performance of the diode can be effectively controlled by adjusting the oxygen vacancy concentration.This study centers on optimizing the performance of diodes by modulating the oxygen vacancy concentration within InGaZnO films through control of oxygen flows during the sputtering process.Experimental results demonstrate that the diode exhibits a forward current density of 43.82 A·cm^(−2),with a rectification ratio of 6.94×10^(4),efficiently rectifying input sine signals with 1 kHz frequency and 5 V magnitude.These results demonstrate its potential in energy conversion and management.By adjusting the oxygen vacancy,a methodology is provided for optimizing the performance of rectifying diodes.

文摘A buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall(BRSPSW)structure with butterfly-shaped links on the lateral sides is introduced to improve the cooperative perfor-mance between the BRSPSW and the boundary frames.A one-span two-story concrete-filled steel tube(CFT)column frame specimen equipped with lateral-side butterfly-shaped linked BRSPSWs(LBL-BRSPSWs)is evaluated under low-cycle reversed loading.A finite element(FE)model is developed and validated based on the test results.This FE model accurately simulates the failure modes and load-dis-placement curves.Parametric analyses are conducted on the butterfly-shaped links.The results show that the interactions between the CFT column frame and LBL-BRSPSWs are sig-nificantly influenced by the width ratio of the butterfly-shaped links,while the taper ratio and aspect ratio have relatively minor influences.Compared with traditional steel shear walls with four-sided connections,LBL-BRSPSWs reduce the additional axial forces and bending moments in the frame columns by 28%to 73%and 17%to 87%,respectively,with only a 9%to 30%decrease in the lateral resistance.The experimental and parametric analysis results indicate that setting butterfly-shaped links on the lateral sides of BRSPSWs can significantly enhance their cooperative performance with the boundary frame.The butterfly-shaped link width ratio has a linear relationship with the lateral-resistance performance of the specimens and the additional internal forces in the frame columns.To ensure that LBL-BRSPSW fails prior to the column frames,the link width ratio should be optimized.
文摘The available test methods for optimal moisture content of cold recycled mixture(CRM)as well as its bulk specific gravity,and theoretical maximum relative density were analyzed in this work.Some test improvements were suggested to improve test control of the CRM road performance based on the discovered flaws.Besides,the properties of reclaimed asphalt pavement(RAP),including the content of old asphalt,penetration index,passing rate of 4.75 mm sieve,and gradation change rate after extraction,were examined.The effects of RAP characteristics on splitting tensile strength,water stability,the high-and low-temperature performance of emulsified asphalt CRM were studied.The results show that the optimum moisture content of CRM should be determined when the compaction work matches the specimen’s molding work.Among the analyzed methods of bulk specific gravity assessment,the dry-surface and CoreLok methods provide more robust and accurate results than the wax-sealing method,while the dry-surface method is the most cost-efficient.The modified theoretical maximum relative density test method is proposed,which can reduce the systematic error of the vacuum test method.The following RAP-CRM trends can be observed.The lower the content of old asphalt and the smaller the change rate of gradation,the smaller the voids and the better the water stability of CRM.The greater the penetration of old asphalt,the higher the fracture work and low-temperature splitting strength.The greater the penetration,the higher the passing rate of 4.75 mm sieve after extraction,and the worse the high-temperature performance of CRM.
