They were highly efficient but not suitable either for the forming processes with non-flat initial configurations or for one-step forward and multistep analyses. Thus, a one-step formulation based on the rotation-free BST （Basic Shell Triangle） element was presented. In this formulation, the penalty method was adopted to deal with contacts in the forming processes.展开更多

Penalty function method was used to treat the contact algorithm. The friction between the punch and coating sheet was based on a Coulomb formulation. The combination of coating and substrate was defined as tied with failure contact. The results of the simulation illustrate that the steel sheet and the nickel coating do not delaminate at the interface. The stress field of the nickel coating is more complicated than that of the steel substrate. Furthermore,it is found that the punch-nose radius is the most unsubstantial part for the intensity of the entire deep-drawing part and the thinnest part,it is a dangerous zone for the break. At this zone,the thickness thinning of the steel sheet and the nickel coating are up to 4.8% and 6.7%,respectively. Meanwhile,it is found that the curve of the variable blankholder force(VBHF) designed can improve the formability of sheet.展开更多

文摘The hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) is a key process in electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production,yet it is often limited by sluggish H^(*)-OH adsorption and H*binding kinetics.We obtained Rumodified Ni O nanoparticles(Ru-Ni O/NF) with enhanced HER properties by substituting ruthenium(Ru)for Ni atoms in the Ni O(200) crystalline facets on nickel foam by a one-step electrodeposition technique.This novel catalyst exhibits a significantly reduced H^(*)-OH adsorption energy and improved kinetics,with an overpotential of only 60 mV at 10 mA/cm^(2) and a Tafel slope of 26.19 mV/dec.The Ru-Ni O/NF maintains its activity for over 115 h,outperforming NiO/NF by reducing the overpotential by 177 mV.DFT calculations confirm that the addition of Ru to NiO enhances the HER kinetics by modifying the electronic structure,optimizing the surface chemistry,stabilizing the intermediates,lowering the energy barriers,and facilitating efficient charge transfer through a robust three-dimensional structure,resulting in a change in the rate-limiting step and a significant reduction in the Gibbs free energy.This study presents a highly efficient HER catalyst and offers insights into designing advanced NiO-based electrocatalysts by reducing reaction energy barriers.

文摘Cd S/Mo S2,an extremely efficient photocatalyst,has been extensively used in hydrogen photoproduction and pollutant degradation.Cd S/Mo S2can be synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal process.However,the effect of the sulfur source on the synthesis of Cd S/Mo S2via one-step hydrothermal methods has seldom been investigated.We report herein a series of one-step hydrothermal preparations of Cd S/Mo S2using three different sulfur sources：thioacetamide,L-cysteine,and thiourea.The results revealed that the sulfur source strongly affected the crystallization,morphology,elemental composition and ultraviolet（UV）–visible-light-absorption ability of the Cd S/Mo S2.Among the investigated sulfur sources,thioacetamide provided the highest visible-light absorption ability for Cd S/Mo S2,with the smallest average particle size and largest surface area,resulting in the highest efficiency in Methylene Blue（MB）degradation.The photocatalytic activity of Cd S/Mo S2synthesized from the three sulfur sources can be arranged in the following order：thioacetamideL-cysteinethiourea.The reaction rate constants（k）for thioacetamide,L-cysteine,and thiourea were estimated to be 0.0197,0.0140,and 0.0084 min^（-1）,respectively.However,thioacetamide may be limited in practical application in terms of its price and toxicity,while L-cysteine is relatively economical,less toxic and exhibited good photocatalytic degradation performance toward MB.
文摘According to the amino acid sequence and codon preference of E. coli, the human interleukin-18（IL-18） gene was optimized to avoid the rare codons. The total length of the synthesized gene is 571 bp; 18 oligonucleotides, DNA fragments were designed and synthesized by the phosphoramidite four-step chemical method. The whole DNA sequence was synthesized by a one-step total gene synthesis method, and then inserted in pUC18 vector. Five positive clones identified by blue-white colony screening were sent to Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology and Service Co., Ltd. for sequencing. The sequencing result shows that one clone contained the complete correct gene in all the five positive clones.

Conventional identification methods for </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species are technically difficult to conduct and cannot accurately distinguish each species. The purpose of the present study was to design primers to identify and detect simultaneously</span><span> </span><span>eight medically important </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species using one-step multiplex PCR. PCR primers were designed based on partial sequences of intergenic spacer (IGS) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes of eight medically important </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species. These primers were able to distinguish each </span><i><span>Candida</span></i><span> species and did not display cross-reactivity with representative </span><i><span>Candida </span></i><span>species other than the eight</span><i><span> Candida</span></i><span> species. Moreover, our developed one-step multiplex PCR method is accurate, specific, cost-effective, time-saving, and worked without requiring DNA extraction.</span>

文摘The bulk metal forming processes were simulated by using a one-step finite element(FE)approach based on deformation theory of plasticity,which enables rapid prediction of final workpiece configurations and stress/strain distributions.This approach was implemented to minimize the approximated plastic potential energy derived from the total plastic work and the equivalent external work in static equilibrium,for incompressibly rigid-plastic materials,by FE calculation based on the extremum work principle.The one-step forward simulations of compression and rolling processes were presented as examples,and the results were compared with those obtained by classical incremental FE simulation to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

文摘For the traditional one-step formulations of using shell elements, the computations of the curvature variation and bending stiffness matrix were simplified by omitting the rotational DOFs （degrees of freedom） on the basis of initial flat blank and fully known final configuration. They were highly efficient but not suitable either for the forming processes with non-flat initial configurations or for one-step forward and multistep analyses. Thus, a one-step formulation based on the rotation-free BST （Basic Shell Triangle） element was presented. In this formulation, the penalty method was adopted to deal with contacts in the forming processes.

文摘The work is dedicated to develop a one-step eco-friendly method to prepare antibacterial polyethylene terephthalate(PET).We report a one-step eco-friendly method to manufacture antibacterial PET via on-line amination reaction by melt coextrusion.Beside evenly mixing of poly(hexamethylene guanidine)(PHMG)and PET in the melt coextrusion procedure,the amination reaction also occurred between PHMG and PET under high temperature(230-270℃).The antibacterial ability of composite PET showed obvious PHMG concentration dependence,and antibacterial activity reached more than 99%when PHMG content was 2.5 wt%.Moreover,LIVE/DEAD fluorescence test further confirmed that the composite PET could kill bacteria quickly and efiectively(within 30 min);while negligible cytotoxicity was observed to HSF and HUVEC cells.Onestep eco-friendly fabrication of composite antibacterial PET was accomplished by on-line melt coextrusion.The composite antibacterial PET has potential use in multiple fields to combat with pathogenic including textiles,packaging materials,decoration materials and biomedical devices,etc.

文摘The finite element method(FEM) simulation of deep-drawing of steel sheet with nickel coating based on the solid element and dynamic explicit method was reported. Penalty function method was used to treat the contact algorithm. The friction between the punch and coating sheet was based on a Coulomb formulation. The combination of coating and substrate was defined as tied with failure contact. The results of the simulation illustrate that the steel sheet and the nickel coating do not delaminate at the interface. The stress field of the nickel coating is more complicated than that of the steel substrate. Furthermore,it is found that the punch-nose radius is the most unsubstantial part for the intensity of the entire deep-drawing part and the thinnest part,it is a dangerous zone for the break. At this zone,the thickness thinning of the steel sheet and the nickel coating are up to 4.8% and 6.7%,respectively. Meanwhile,it is found that the curve of the variable blankholder force(VBHF) designed can improve the formability of sheet.
