The etiology and pathogenesis of UC remain elusive. Currenttherapeutic approaches, including anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressiveand immunomodulating agents, are often limited in efficacy and frequently associatedwith adverse drug reactions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to developsafer and more effective treatment strategies to address the limitations of existingtherapies. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (HQ), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb,has been employed in the treatment of UC for over 2000 years. Recent studieshave demonstrated that HQ contains multiple active components capable oftreating UC through anti-inflammation, immune modulation, intestinal barrierprotection, antioxidant activity, and regulation of the gut microbiota. This paperreviews recent studies on the mechanism of action and clinical trials of HQ intreating UC based on relevant literature, with the aim of providing valuable insightsinto future treatment approaches.展开更多

文摘On December 18,2023,an M_(s)6.2 earthquake jolted Jishishan County in the Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Northwest China's Gansu Province,causing substantial casualties and building collapses.The earthquake occurred in the Qilian Block on the northeastern border of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,where faults are highly active and the geological structure is complex.In this study,we utilized methods such as relocation,focal mechanism solutions,and earthquake rupture processes to describe seismogenic faults.The results indicated that the majority of aftershocks occurred at a depth of 12 km.The centroid depth of the main shock and the depth of the maximum rupture point during the rupture process were also 12 km.Various geophysical methods exhibited a high degree of consistency in depth exploration.Aftershocks were distributed mainly to the west and north of the main shock and extended in the NNW direction,primarily through unilateral rupture.The main shock was a reverse thrust event with a small dextral strike-slip component.In this study,more regional data,such as previous GPS observations,field geological observations,and the distributions of the primary stress states in the region,were also incorporated.We inferred that the main shock was triggered by the main fault at the northern margin of the Lajishan Fault and that the movement of the main fault also activated some secondary faults.The compressive forces on both sides of the Lajishan Fault Zone led to the uplift of mountain areas,accompanied by some landslides,leading to this catastrophic earthquake event.In this article,the activity relationships among the 2022 M_(s)6.9 Menyuan earthquake,the 2019 M_(s)5.7 Xiahe earthquake,and the Jishishan earthquake under the action of regional stress are also discussed.This study provides additional evidence and new ideas for exploring the seismogenic process of the Lajishan Fault Zone and has implications for future in-depth research on underground activity in this region.

文摘Addressing the growing challenge of water contamination,this study comparatively evaluated a persulfate(PDS)system activated by nonradical nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes(N-CNTs)versus a PDS system activated by radical-based iron(Fe^(2+)),both used for the degradation of bisphenol A(BPA).The N-CNTs/PDS system,driven by the electron transfer mechanism,achieved remarkable 90.9%BPA removal within 30 min at high BPA concentrations,significantly outperforming the Fe^(2+)/PDS system,which attained only 38.9%removal.The N-CNTs/PDS system maintained robust degradation efficiency across a wide range of BPA concentrations and exhibited a high degree of resilience in diverse water matrices.By directly abstracting electrons from BPA molecules,the N-CNTs/PDS system effectively minimised oxidant wastage and mitigated the risk of secondary pollution,ensuring efficient utilisation of active sites on N-CNTs and sustaining a high catalytic rate.The formation of the N-CNTs-PDS^(*)complex significantly enhanced BPA degradation and mineralisation,thereby optimising PDS consumption.These findings highlight the unparalleled advantages of the N-CNTs/PDS system in managing complex wastewater,offering a promising and innovative solution for treating complex industrial wastewater and advancing environmental remediation efforts.

文摘The multi-principal element characteristic of high-entropy alloys has revolutionized the conventional alloy design concept of single-principal element,endowing them with excellent mechanical properties.However,owing to this multi-principal element nature,high-entropy alloys exhibit complex deformation behavior dominated by alternating and coupled deformation mechanisms.Therefore,elucidating these intricate deformation mechanisms remains a key challenge in current research.Neutron diffraction(ND)techniques offer distinct advantages over traditional microscopic methods for characterizing such complex deformation behavior.The strong penetration capability of neutrons enables in-situ,real-time,and non-destructive detection of structural evolution in most centimeter-level bulk samples under complex environments,and ND allows precise characterization of lattice site occupations for light elements,such as C and O,and neighboring elements.This review discussed the principles of ND,experiment procedures,and data analysis.Combining with recent advances in the research about face-centered cubic high-entropy alloy,typical examples of using ND to investigate the deformation behavior were summarized,ultimately revealing deformation mechanisms dominated by dislocations,stacking faults,twinning,and phase transformations.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating large-scale components.However,conventional WAAM still faces challenges in optimizing microstructural evolution,minimizing additive-induced defects,and alleviating residual stress and deformation,all of which are critical for enhancing the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts.Integrating interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)into WAAM significantly enhances the quality of deposited materials.However,numerical simulation research focusing on elucidating the associated thermomechanical coupling mechanisms remains insufficient.A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the thermomechanical coupling behavior in friction stir-assisted WAAM.The influence of post-deposition FSP on the coupled thermomechanical response of the WAAM process was analyzed quantitatively.Moreover,the residual stress distribution and deformation behavior under both single-layer and multilayer deposition conditions were investigated.Thermal analysis of different deposition layers in WAAM and friction stir-assisted WAAM was conducted.Results show that subsequent layer deposition induces partial remelting of the previously solidified layer,whereas FSP does not cause such remelting.Furthermore,thermal stress and deformation analysis confirm that interlayer FSP effectively mitigates residual stresses and distortion in WAAM components,thereby improving their structural integrity and mechanical properties.

文摘The novel process of hydrogen-based shaft furnaces(HSFs)has attracted considerable attention because of their significant reduction of CO_(2)emissions.In this study,the interaction of H_(2)and CO with Fe_(tet1)-and Fe_(oct2)-terminated Fe_(3)O_(4)(111)surfaces under HSF conditions,including their adsorption and reduction behaviors,was investigated using the density functional theory method.The results indicated that the H_(2)molecule adsorbed onto the Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface with an adsorption energy(AE)of-1.36 eV,whereas the CO molecule preferentially adsorbed on the Fe_(oct2)-terminated surface with an AE of-1.56 eV.Both H_(2)and CO can readily undergo reduction on the Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface(corresponding to energy barriers of 0.83 eV and 2.23 eV,respectively),but kinetically the reaction of H2is more favorable than that of CO.With regard to the thermodynamics at 400-1400 K,the H_(2)was easy to be adsorbed,while the CO would like to react on the Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface.These thermodynamically tendencies were reversed on the Fe_(oct2)-terminated surface.The thermodynamic disadvantage of the reaction of H_(2)on the Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface was offset by an increase in the temperature.Furthermore,the adsorption of H2 and CO on the Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface was competitive,whereas the adsorption of them on the Fe_(oct2)-terminated surface was synergistic.Therefore,iron ores with a higher proportion of Fe_(tet1)-terminated surface can be applied for the HSF process.In conjunction with the increases in the reduction temperature and the ratio of H_(2)in the reducing gas would promote efficient HSF smelting.These observations provide effective guidance for optimizing the practical operation parameters and advancing the development of the HSF process.

文摘Against the backdrop of escalating global climate change and energy crises,the resource utilization of carbon dioxide(CO_(2)),a major greenhouse gas,has become a crucial pathway for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.The hydrogenation of CO_(2)to methanol not only enables carbon sequestration and recycling,but also provides a route to produce high value-added fuels and basic chemical feedstocks,holding significant environmental and economic potential.However,this conversion process is thermodynamically and kinetically limited,and traditional catalyst systems(e.g.,Cu/ZnO/Al_(2)O_(3))exhibit inadequate activity,selectivity,and stability under mild conditions.Therefore,the development of novel high-performance catalysts with precisely tunable structures and functionalities is imperative.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),as crystalline porous materials with high surface area,tunable pore structures,and diverse metal-ligand compositions,have the great potential in CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysis.Their structural design flexibility allows for the construction of well-dispersed active sites,tailored electronic environments,and enhanced metal-support interactions.This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in MOF-based and MOF-derived catalysts for CO_(2)hydrogenation to methanol,focusing on four design strategies:(1)spatial confinement and in situ construction,(2)defect engineering and ion-exchange,(3)bimetallic synergy and hybrid structure design,and(4)MOF-derived nanomaterial synthesis.These approaches significantly improve CO_(2)conversion and methanol selectivity by optimizing metal dispersion,interfacial structures,and reaction pathways.The reaction mechanism is further explored by focusing on the three main reaction pathways:the formate pathway(HCOO*),the RWGS(Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction)+CO*hydrogenation pathway,and the trans-COOH pathway.In situ spectroscopic studies and density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate the formation and transformation of key intermediates,as well as the roles of active sites,metal-support interfaces,oxygen vacancies,and promoters.Additionally,representative catalytic performance data for MOFbased systems are compiled and compared,demonstrating their advantages over traditional catalysts in terms of CO_(2)conversion,methanol selectivity,and space-time yield.Future perspectives for MOF-based CO_(2)hydrogenation catalysts will prioritize two main directions:structural design and mechanistic understanding.The precise construction of active sites through multi-metallic synergy,defect engineering,and interfacial electronic modulation should be made to enhance catalyst selectivity and stability.In addition,advanced in situ characterization techniques combined with theoretical modeling are essential to unravel the detailed reaction mechanisms and intermediate behaviors,thereby guiding rational catalyst design.Moreover,to enable industrial application,challenges related to thermal/hydrothermal stability,catalyst recyclability,and cost-effective large-scale synthesis must be addressed.The development of green,scalable preparation methods and the integration of MOF catalysts into practical reaction systems(e.g.,flow reactors)will be crucial for bridging the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment.Ultimately,multi-scale structure-performance optimization and catalytic system integration will be vital for accelerating the industrialization of MOF-based CO_(2)-to-methanol technologies.

文摘Regulatory T cells,a subset of CD4^(+)T cells,play a critical role in maintaining immune tolerance and tissue homeostasis due to their potent immunosuppressive properties.Recent advances in research have highlighted the important therapeutic potential of Tregs in neurological diseases and tissue repair,emphasizing their multifaceted roles in immune regulation.This review aims to summarize and analyze the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of Tregs in relation to neurological diseases and neural regeneration.Beyond their classical immune-regulatory functions,emerging evidence points to non-immune mechanisms of regulatory T cells,particularly their interactions with stem cells and other non-immune cells.These interactions contribute to optimizing the repair microenvironment and promoting tissue repair and nerve regeneration,positioning non-immune pathways as a promising direction for future research.By modulating immune and non-immune cells,including neurons and glia within neural tissues,Tregs have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in enhancing regeneration in the central and peripheral nervous systems.Preclinical studies have revealed that Treg cells interact with neurons,glial cells,and other neural components to mitigate inflammatory damage and support functional recovery.Current mechanistic studies show that Tregs can significantly promote neural repair and functional recovery by regulating inflammatory responses and the local immune microenvironment.However,research on the mechanistic roles of regulatory T cells in other diseases remains limited,highlighting substantial gaps and opportunities for exploration in this field.Laboratory and clinical studies have further advanced the application of regulatory T cells.Technical advances have enabled efficient isolation,ex vivo expansion and functionalization,and adoptive transfer of regulatory T cells,with efficacy validated in animal models.Innovative strategies,including gene editing,cell-free technologies,biomaterial-based recruitment,and in situ delivery have expanded the therapeutic potential of regulatory T cells.Gene editing enables precise functional optimization,while biomaterial and in situ delivery technologies enhance their accumulation and efficacy at target sites.These advancements not only improve the immune-regulatory capacity of regulatory T cells but also significantly enhance their role in tissue repair.By leveraging the pivotal and diverse functions of Tregs in immune modulation and tissue repair,regulatory T cells–based therapies may lead to transformative breakthroughs in the treatment of neurological diseases.

文摘The volatilization characteristics and kinetic mechanisms of arsenic were investigated in the temperature range of 623−773 K and pressure ranges of 10−10000 Pa.The experimental results reveal that the evaporation rate increases with increasing temperature and decreasing pressure.Surface reaction control dominates at low pressures(<100 Pa),whereas diffusion control dominates at high pressures(>5000 Pa).The evaporation behavior is successfully described by an Arrhenius-type model for temperature dependence and Logistic model for pressure dependence.Key kinetic parameters,including the critical pressure,maximum evaporation rate and evaporation coefficient,were calculated.The evaporation coefficient varies between 0.010 and 0.223,and the critical pressures vary between 281 and 478 Pa with temperature.
文摘Objective:To investigate the application effect of intelligent empowerment standardized airway management process in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 79 EICU inpatients who underwent tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation treatment at our hospital from January 2023 to May 2025.The patients were divided into a control group(conventional airway management process,n=40)and a study group(intelligent empowerment standardized airway management process,n=39)based on the intervention protocols they received.Oral health scores,dental plaque index,oral odor,serum inflammatory markers[C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)],clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),as well as the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),duration of mechanical ventilation,and length of stay in the EICU were assessed before and after treatment.Results:The baseline values of all indicators were consistent between the two groups before intervention(p>0.05).After corresponding interventions,both groups showed significant improvements in Beck oral health scores,dental plaque index,and oral odor,with more pronounced improvements observed in the study group(p<0.05).After the intervention,the research group showed a significant decrease in serum CRP and PCT levels,as well as CPIS scores(p<0.05).In contrast,the control group experienced an increase in these three indicators to a certain extent(p<0.05).Moreover,the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),duration of mechanical ventilation,and length of stay in the EICU were all lower in the research group compared to the control group,while the nurse’s compliance rate with the protocol was higher in the research group(p<0.05).Conclusion:The standardized airway management protocol empowered by intelligent technology can significantly improve nursing compliance,benefit oral health status,reduce the risk of pulmonary infection and systemic inflammation levels,and promote rapid patient recovery,demonstrating considerable potential for widespread adoption.

文摘Bentonite is a necessary binder in producing pellets.Its excessive use reduces the iron grade of pellets and increases production costs.Minimizing bentonite dosage is essential for producing high-quality iron ore pellets.Addressing the gap in the application of organically-intercalated modified bentonite in the pelletizing field,this study introduces an innovative modification process for bentonite that employs the synergistic effect of mechanical force and dimethyl sulfoxide to enhance the intercalation of organic compounds within bentonite,thus significantly enhancing its binding performance.The colloid value and swell capacity of modified bentonite(98.5 m L/3g and 55.0 m L/g)were much higher than the original bentonite(90.5 m L/3g and 17.5 m L/g).With the decrease of bentonite dosage from1.5wt%to 1.0wt%,the drop number of green pellets from a height of 0.5 m and the compressive strengths of roasted pellets using the modified bentonite(6.0 times and 2916 N per pellet)were significantly higher than those of the original bentonite(4.0 times and 2739 N per pellet).This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the intercalation modification mechanism of bentonite,offering crucial technical insights for the development of high-performance modified bentonite as iron ore pellet binders.

文摘The recovery of precious metals(PMs)from secondary resources is critical for addressing global supply-chain vulnerabilities and sustainable resource utilization.This review systematically examines the transformative potential of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)as next-generation adsorbents for PM recovery,focusing on their synthesis,functionalization,and multiscale adsorption mechanisms.We critically analyze conventional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods and highlight their limitations in terms of selectivity,energy consumption,and secondary pollution.In contrast,MOFs offer tunable porosity,abundant active sites,and tunable surface chemistry,enabling efficient PM capture via synergistic physical and chemical adsorption.Advanced modification techniques,including direct synthesis and post-synthetic modification,are reviewed to propose strategies for enhancing the adsorption kinetics and selectivity for Au,Ag,Pt,and Pd.Key structure-property relationships are established through multiscale characterization and thermodynamic models,revealing the critical roles of hierarchical porosity,soft donor atoms,and framework stability.Industrial challenges,such as aqueous stability and scalability,are addressed via Zr-O bond strengthening,hydrophobic functionalization,and support immobilization.This study consolidates the experimental and theoretical advances in MOF-based PM recovery and provides a roadmap for translating laboratory innovations into practical applications within the circular-economy framework.

文摘Chemotherapy-induced diarrhea(CID)is a major concern for cancer patients and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.Currently,the clinical management of CID is limited.The utilization of antidiarrheal medications,such as loperamide and octreotide,is relatively limited because of their unsatisfactory efficacy and adverse effects.In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has attracted great interest because of its beneficial effect in treating CID,which has multitarget and low-toxicity therapeutic characteristics.TCM exhibits remarkable therapeutic potential in the prevention and treatment of CID.It can alleviate and treat CID by regulating chemical drug metabolism,improving the integrity of the intestinal barrier,stimulating proliferation while suppressing the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells,ameliorating oxidative stress and inflammation and regulating bile acids and aquaporins.However,large-scale,randomized,double-blind clinical trials of TCM for the treatment of CID are lacking,and most preclinical experiments have not been translated to clinical trials.Accordingly,this review highlights the clinical efficacy and molecular mechanisms of TCM against CID via PubMed,Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure and proposes that future research on TCM against CID should focus on strengthening the connection from bench to bed,which may help to comprehensively evaluate the therapeutic potential of TCM against CID.

文摘Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 40%of body mass and 50%–75%of whole-body protein,playing a central role in meat production and quality.Efficient protein synthesis in skeletal muscle relies on an adequate supply of nutrient substrates and a balanced amino acid profile.Branched-chain amino acids(BCAA),including leucine(Leu),isoleucine(Ile),and valine(Val),are the most abundant essential amino acids in skeletal muscle and contribute to both protein synthesis and oxidative energy production.Additionally,BCAA function as signaling molecules that regulate gene expression and protein phosphorylation cascades,which significantly influence physiological processes,such as protein synthesis and degradation,glucose and lipid metabolism,and cell apoptosis and autophagy.These processes are primarily mediated through the PI3K/AKT/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathways.This review summarizes BCAA transporters and catabolic metabolism,their role as signaling molecules in regulating protein metabolism and glucose and lipid equilibrium,and applications in animal production.These findings offer both theoretical insights and practical guidelines for the precise regulation of feed efficiency and production performance through tailored dietary BCAA supplementations.

文摘In rock engineering,natural cracks in rock masses subjected to external loads tend to initiate and propagate,leading to potential safety hazards.To investigate the effect of cracking behavior on the mechanical properties of rocks,the cracking processes of pre-cracked rocks have been extensively studied using numerical modeling methods.The peridynamics(PD)exhibits advantages over other numerical methods due to the absence of the requirements for remeshing and external crack growth criterion.However,for modeling pre-cracked rock cracking processes under impact,current PD implementations lack generally applicable rock constitutive models and impact contact models,which leads to difficulties in determining rock material parameters and efficiently calculating impact loads.This paper proposes a non-ordinary state-based peridynamics(NOSBPD)modeling method integrating the Drucker-Prager(DP)plasticity model and an efficient contact model to address the above problems.In the proposed method,the Drucker-Prager plasticity model is integrated into the NOSBPD,thereby equipping NOSBPD with the capability to accurately characterize the nonlinear stress-strain relationship inherent in rocks.An efficient contact model between particles and meshes is designed to calculate the impact loads,which is essentially a coupling method of PD with the finite element method(FEM).The effectiveness of the proposed NOSBPD modeling method is verified by comparison with other numerical methods and experiments.Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively and accurately predict the 3D cracking processes of pre-cracked cracks under impact loading,and the maximum principal stress is the key driver behind wing crack formation in pre-cracked rocks.

文摘The failure mechanisms and structural damage of SiC MOSFETs induced by heavy ion irradiation were demonstrated.The findings reveal three degradation modes,depending on the drain voltage.At a relatively low voltage,the damage is triggered by the formation and activation of gate latent damage(LDs),with damage concentrated in the gate oxide.The second degradation mode involves permanent leakage current degradation,with damage progressively transitioning from the oxide to the SiC material as the drain voltage escalates.Ultimately,the device undergoes catastrophic burnout above certain voltages,characterized by the lattice temperature reaching the sublimation point of SiC,resulting in surface cavity and complete structural destruction.This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of SiC MOSFETs under heavy ion exposure,providing radiation resistance methods of SiC-based devices for aerospace applications.

文摘Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized byclinical symptoms of diarrhea and mucopurulent bloody stools, and its incidenceis increasing globally. The etiology and pathogenesis of UC remain elusive. Currenttherapeutic approaches, including anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressiveand immunomodulating agents, are often limited in efficacy and frequently associatedwith adverse drug reactions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to developsafer and more effective treatment strategies to address the limitations of existingtherapies. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (HQ), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb,has been employed in the treatment of UC for over 2000 years. Recent studieshave demonstrated that HQ contains multiple active components capable oftreating UC through anti-inflammation, immune modulation, intestinal barrierprotection, antioxidant activity, and regulation of the gut microbiota. This paperreviews recent studies on the mechanism of action and clinical trials of HQ intreating UC based on relevant literature, with the aim of providing valuable insightsinto future treatment approaches.

文摘Targeting Chang'E-8 mission'in-situ resource utilization(ISRU)for sustainable lunar habitats,laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)provides a viable pathway for in-situ additive manufacturing of lunar regolith.To elucidate mission relevant mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of LPBF fabricated lunar regolith simulants,mare type and highland type simulant specimens were produced.Microstructural characterization,mechanical test coupled with three-dimensional digital image correlation(3D-DIC),and an energy-dissipation framework were employed for comprehensive analysis.The pristine highland specimens achieved 5.79 MPa and a peak strain of 0.13(50 mm×50 mm×30 mm),significantly outperforming their mare counterparts.Wire-cutting to 20 mm×20 mm×20 mm lowered strength by~20%and peak strain to 0.04,indicating cutting-induced defects reduce ductility.All specimens displayed multipeaked stress–strain curves.3D-DIC revealed band-type strain localization in pristine highland samples,diffuse strain patterns in cut highland samples,and highly tortuous,network-type bands in mare samples;the anisotropy index was also quantified.Fragmented particles exhibited fractal dimensions ranging from 1.6 to 2.0(size 1.25–9 mm).Energy evolution progressed through three distinct stages:elastic energy storage,progressive energy dissipation delaying crack propagation,and final unstable collapse.An energy-based damage model was established and validated.The data and methods developed support Chang'E-8 missions'ISRU demonstrations and establish a transferable framework toward sustainable lunar habitats.

文摘Soft clay treatment with all industrial by-product(IBP)binder has great economic and environmental benefits,yet its geomechanics and mechanisms still need to be well probed.With the activation by calcium carbide residue(CCR)and phosphogypsum(PG),the strength,structure,and mechanisms of soft clay treated by aluminosilicate-rich IBP(AS-IBP,such as ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS),fly ash(FA),coal gangue(CG),Bayer red mud(BR),and sintered red mud(SR))are comparatively investigated.The strength characteristics of solidified clay exhibit significant differences as AS-IBP changes.When GGBS is adopted,the strength is sensitive to the change in PG content,while the impact of CCR is insignificant.After 90 d,the strength of the optimal sample(G23)reaches 1.40 MPa,35.9%higher than cement solidified clay(CSC),while that achieved by other AS-IBPs is less than 0.3 MPa.In the compression test,the structure's evolutionary trend of G23 has a sudden change as the strength increases from 1.81 MPa to 2.29 MPa,suggesting the transformation in material properties.Besides,the structure of G23 is stronger than CSC,which contributes more to the compressive performance.The total amount of main products(C-S-H and ettringite)of all-IBP solidified clay determines the strength,and ettringite is only significant when calcium-rich AS-IBP is adopted.The total amount of minor products(C-A-H and C-A-S-H)is similar for different samples,equivalent to 28.9%-46.3%of the main products.The relationship between the strength and the product amount can be presented using an exponential function.
