The results show that by increasing the flow passage length, the velocity of metal at the cross-section of sheath tends toward uniformity, the values of the bending angles of sheath gradually approach the ideal value of zero and the cross-section exhibits a better shape. The extrusion wheel velocity has negligible effects on the bending shape and cross-section of the sheath product when a long flow passage is used.展开更多

文摘This work demonstrates experimentally the close relation between return currents from relativistic laser-driven target polarization and the quality of the relativistic laser–plasma interaction for laser-driven secondary sources,taking as an example ion acceleration by target normal sheath acceleration.The Pearson linear correlation of maximum return current amplitude and proton spectrum cutoff energy is found to be in the range from~0.70 to 0.94.kA-scale return currents rise in all interaction schemes where targets of any kind are charged by escaping laser-accelerated relativistic electrons.Their precise measurement is demonstrated using an inductive scheme that allows operation at high repetition rates.Thus,return currents can be used as a metrological online tool for the optimization of many laser-driven secondary sources and for diagnosing their stability.In particular,in two parametric studies of laser-driven ion acceleration,we carry out a noninvasive online measurement of return currents in a tape target system irradiated by the 1 PW VEGA-3 laser at Centro de Láseres Pulsados:first the size of the irradiated area is varied at best compression of the laser pulse;second,the pulse duration is varied by means of induced group delay dispersion at best focus.This work paves the way to the development of feedback systems that operate at the high repetition rates of PW-class lasers.

文摘When immersed in sand and dust environment,aero-engine blades are exposed to harsh erosion which may lead to failure if erosion is severe.Using Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD)to prepare hard ceramic coatings can greatly enhance the operational capabilities of aero-engine.However,due to the“line-of-sight”processing characteristic of PVD process,uneven coating deposition rates occur when preparing coatings on obstructed areas such as blisks.Quantitative research on such phenomena is few,and it is even rarer in the study of aero-engine coatings.Based on the analyses and considerations of the geometric shape of blade surfaces and the influence of both deposition and re-sputtering effect,an ideal model is established to analyze the deposition rate variation along blocked region in complex self-shadowing boundaries.The relative deposition rates at various locations on the blade surface within the inter-blade gaps are quantitatively calculated and experimentally validated.Furthermore,differences in erosion resistance of the coatings are tested.The conclusions are drawn as follows:the geometric configuration of the obstructed shape and resputtering phenomenon significantly influence the deposition rates within the inner wall of blade gaps.Taking the structural configuration as an example,in a 25 mm×60 mm×15 mm gap,the coating thickness can vary more than 252%from the thickest to the thinnest location.The deposition rates of various locations are proportional to the solid angle of incident ion in more obstructed regions,and the re-sputtering is more prominent in open regions.Obstructive boundaries directly affect the erosion resistance at various locations within the gaps,with erosion failure time decreasing by 40%in heavily blocked region compared to open region.

文摘Rice sheath blight is one of the serious rice diseases causing economic losses worldwide.Shenqinmycin,a broad-spectrum microbial metabolite pesticide,inhibits plant pathogens.This study investigated the sensitivity of rice sheath blight pathogen to the biological pesticide by treating 45 strains isolated from three northeastern provinces with varying concentrations of Shenqinmycin.The effects on mycelial growth and sclerotial germination of the rice sheath blight pathogens were measured to determine the resistance levels.The results indicated that all tested strains were sensitive to Shenqinmycin,with EC50 values for Rhizoctonia solani ranging from 0.0487 mg·L^(-1) to 0.2348 mg·L^(-1),and a sensitivity baseline of 0.1292 mg·L^(-1).For Rhizoctonias oryzae-sativae,the EC50 values ranged from 0.0517 mg·L^(-1) to 0.1697 mg·L^(-1),with a sensitivity baseline of 0.1163 mg·L^(-1).Shenqinmycin had no effect on the sclerotial germination of either pathogen,suggesting its potential as an effective agent for controlling rice sheath blight.

文摘The application of fungicides is an effective strategy for controlling plant diseases.Among these agents,plant-derived antifungal metabolites are particularly promising due to their eco-friendly and sustainable nature.Plant secondary metabolites typically exhibit broad-spectrum antifungal activity without selective toxicity against pathogens.However,only a small fraction of antifungal metabolites have been identified from the tens of thousands of known plant secondary metabolites.In this study,we conducted a metabolomic analysis on both blast-resistant(Digu)and-susceptible(Lijiangxintuanheigu)rice varieties to uncover novel metabolites that enhance blast resistance.We found that 24 and 48 h post-inoculation with Magnaporthe oryzae were critical time points for metabolomic profiling,based on the infected status of M.oryzae in rice and the observed differences in shikimate accumulation between the two varieties.Following metabolomic analysis,we identified nine flavonoids that were differentially accumulated and are considered potential candidates for disease control.Among these,apigenin-7-glucoside,rhamnetin,and spireoside were found to be effective in controlling blast disease,with spireoside demonstrating the most pronounced efficacy.We discovered that spireoside controlled blast disease by inhibiting both spore germination and appressorium formation in M.oryzae,primarily through disrupting cell membrane integrity.However,spireoside did not induce rice immunity.Furthermore,spireoside was also effective in controlling sheath blight disease.Thus,spireoside shows considerable promise as a candidate for the development of a fungicide for controlling plant diseases.

文摘Ethylene response factors(ERFs)are plant transcription agents that play a pivotal role in disease resistance through the ethylene signaling pathway.However,whether and how ERFs regulate resistance to sheath blight(ShB),caused by Rhizoctonia solani in rice,remains largely unknown.Here,we demonstrated that OsERF7 negatively regulates rice resistance to ShB by inhibiting phytoalexin biosynthesis.Overexpression of OsERF7(OsERF7OE)significantly decreased ShB resistance,whereas knockout of OsERF7(oserf7)enhanced it.Mechanistically,antioxidant enzyme activities are significantly reduced in OsERF7OE plants,but increased in oserf7 plants.Furthermore,transcriptome analysis revealed that oserf7 plants exhibited significant upregulation of pathogenesis-related(PR)and phytoalexin biosynthesis genes upon R.solani infection.Consistently,transcript levels of phytoalexin biosynthesis genes,including OsKSL7,OsKSL8,OsKOL5,and OsCPS4,were significantly elevated in oserf7 plants,but reduced in OsERF7OE plants in response to R.solani infection.Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and dual-luciferase(LUC)reporter assays further confirmed that OsERF7 directly binds to the promoters of OsKSL8,OsKOL5,and OsCPS4,thereby repressing their expression.In summary,our study revealed that OsERF7 negatively regulated rice resistance to ShB primarily by inhibiting phytoalexin biosynthesis.

文摘Currently,although some progress has been made in infancy-stage rocking-chair aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs),more discussions have focused only on the different electrochemical performances displayed by different material types rather than the intrinsic ion transport migration electrochemistry.Herein,we for the first time delve into the mechanism of tailoring the solvation sheath and desolvation processes at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces to enhance the structural stabilities in the deep discharge states.In this work,the TiO_(2)front interfaces are induced on electrochemically active but unstable TiSe_(2)host materials to construct unique TiO_(2)/TiSe_(2)-C heterointerfaces.According to X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES),differential electrochemical mass spectrometry(DEMS),and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance(EQCM),the intercalated species are transformed from[Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)to[Zn(H_(2)O)_(2)]^(2+)due to the built-in electric fields(BEFs)effects,further accelerating the ion transfer kinetics.Furthermore,owing to the absence of high-energy desolvation solvents released from desolvation processes,hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)energy barriers,Ti-Se bond strength,and structural stabilities are significantly improved,and the initial CE and HER overpotentials of the TiO_(2)/TiSe_(2)-C heterointerfaces increased from 13.76%to 84.7%,and from 1.04 to 1.30 V,respectively,and the H2 precipitation current density even at-1.3 V decreased by 73.2%.This work provides valuable insights into the complex interface electrochemical mechanism of tailoring the solvation sheath and desolvation processes toward rocking-chair zinc-ion batteries.

文摘Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion can lead to neuronal necrosis,trigger inflammatory responses,promote white matter damage,and ultimately result in cognitive impairment.Consequently,chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is an important factor influencing the onset and progression of vascular dementia.The myelin sheath is a critical component of white matter,and damage and repair of the white matter are closely linked to myelin sheath integrity.This article reviews the role of microglia in vascular dementia,focusing on their effects on myelin sheaths and the potential therapeutic implications.The findings suggest that ischemia and hypoxia cause disruption of the blood-brain barrier and activate microglia,which may worsen blood-brain barrier damage through the release of matrix-degrading enzymes.Microglia-mediated metabolic reprogramming is recognized as an important driver of inflammation.Damage to the blood-brain barrier and subsequent inflammation can lead to myelin injury and accelerate the progression of vascular dementia.Early activation of microglia is a protective response that contributes to the maintenance of blood-brain barrier integrity through sensing,debris-clearing,and defensive mechanisms.However,prolonged activation can trigger a shift in microglia toward the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype,resulting in myelin damage and cognitive impairment.Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 have been identified as potential biomarkers for vascular dementia,as both are closely linked to cognitive decline.Although effective clinical treatments for myelin damage in the central nervous system are currently lacking,researchers are actively working to develop targeted therapies.Several drugs,including nimodipine,dopaminergic agents,simvastatin,biotin,and quetiapine,have been evaluated for clinical use in treating microglial and myelin damage.Future research will face challenges in developing targeted therapeutic strategies for vascular dementia,requiring further investigation into the timing,duration,and specific mechanisms of microglial activation,as well as the exploration of new drug combinations and additional therapeutic targets.

文摘Buckling failure in submarine cables presents a prevalent challenge in ocean engineering.This work aims to explore the buckling behavior of umbilical cables with damaged sheaths subjected to compression and bending cyclic loads.A finite element model is devised,incorporating a singular armor wire,a rigid core,and a damaged sheath.To scrutinize the buckling progression and corresponding deformation,axial compression and bending cyclic loads are introduced.The observations reveal that a reduction in axial compression results in a larger number of cycles before buckling ensues and progressively shifts the buckling position toward the extrados and fixed end.Decreasing the bending radius precipitates a reduction in the buckling cycle number and minimizes the deformation in the armor wire.Furthermore,an empirical model is presented to predict the occurrence of birdcage buckling,providing a means to anticipate buckling events and to estimate the requisite number of cycles leading to buckling.

文摘In recent years,the prevalence of rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani has significantly increased in Heilongjiang Province.Chemical control has become the primary control method.To cope with this,a novel mycelium growth rate method was employed to assess the toxicity of 13 fungicides,including a combination of 45%prochloraz and 125 g·mL^(-1)epoxiconazole,against R.solani.Additionally,the resistance of 99 R.solani strains to thifluzamide across various regions was also evaluated.The findings indicated that 75%trifloxystrobin-tebuconazole exhibited the most effective inhibitory effect,with an effective inhibitory medium concentration(EC50)value of 0.0101μg·mL^(-1).The EC50 values for 20%prothioconazole,125 g·mL^(-1)epoxiconazole,24%thifluzamide,and 50%hexaconazole were all less than 10μg·mL^(-1),indicating a better inhibitory effect on R.solani.The strongest synergistic effect was noted in the mixture of prochloraz and epoxiconazole at a 1:2 ratio,resulting in an EC50 value of 2.9917μg·mL^(-1),and a co-toxicity coefficient of 213.38.Among the 34 strains from Harbin City,the average EC50 value was 196.9341μg·mL^(-1)indicating the highest susceptiblility to thifluzamide.Conversely,15 strains from Shuangyashan City exhibited an average EC50 value of 364.7323μg·mL^(-1),reflecting the lowest sensitivity to thifluzamide.The sensitivity baseline EC50 value for R.solani was 253.8854μg·mL^(-1),with an overall resistance level between 0.1567 and 3.3292,indicating that the resistance level of R.solani in Heilongjiang Province remained low.Therefore,R.solani was still sensitive to thifluzamide in most areas of Heilongjiang Province,but there was a certain risk of resistance in Qitaihe City,which needed to be continuously monitored.At the same time,this study might provide a theoretical foundation for enhancing the prevention and management of the rice sheath blight.

文摘Power cables are important pieces of equipment for energy transmission,but achieving a good balance between flame retardancy and mechanical properties of cable sheaths remains a challenge.In this work,a novel intumescent flame retardant(IFR)system containing silicone-containing macromolecular charring agent(Si-MCA)and ammonium polyphosphate(APP)was designed to synergistically improve the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer(EBA)composites.The optimal mass ratio of APP/Si-MCA was 3/1 in EBA composites(EBA/APP-Si-31),corresponding to the best flame retardancy with 31.2% of limited oxygen index(LOI),V-0 rating in UL-94 vertical burning test,and 76.4%reduction on the peak of heat release rate(PHRR)in cone calorimeter test.The enhancement mechanism was attributed to the synergistic effect of APP/Si-MCA during combustion,including the radical-trapping effect,the dilution effect of non-flammable gases,and the barrier effect of the intumescent char layer.Meanwhile,the tensile results indicated that EBA/APP-Si-31 also exhibited good mechanical properties with the addition of maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene(PE-g-MA)as the compatibilizer.Thus,the APP/Si-MCA combination is an effective IFRs system for preparing high-performance EBA composites,and it will promote their applications as cable sheath materials.

文摘Solvated zinc ions are prone to undergo desolvation at the electrode/electrolyte interfaces,and unstable H_(2)O molecules within the solvated sheaths tend to trigger hydrogen evolution reaction(HER),further accelerating interfaces decay.Herein,we propose for the first time a novel strategy to enhance the interfacial stabilities by insitu dynamic reconstruction of weakly solvated Zn2þduring the desolvation processes at heterointerfaces.Theoretical calculations indicate that,due to built-in electric field effects(BEFs),the plating/stripping mechanism shifts from[Zn(H_(2)O)_(6)]_(2)þto[Zn(H_(2)O)_(5)(SO_(4))^(2-)]_(2)þwithout additional electrolyte additives,reducing the solvation ability of H_(2)O,enhancing the competitive coordination of SO_(4)^(2-),essentially eliminating the undesirable side effects of anodes.Hence,symmetric cells can operate stably for 3000 h(51.7-times increase in cycle life),and the full cells can operate stably for 5000 cycles(51.5-times increase in cycle life).This study provides valuable insights into the critical design of weakly solvated Zn^(2+) þand desolvation processes at heterointerfaces.

文摘Zinc perchlorate(Zn(ClO_(4))_(2))electrolytes have demonstrated favorable low-temperature performance in aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs).However,the Zn anode encounters serious dendrite formation and parasitic reactions in zinc perchlorate electrolytes,which is caused by the fast corrosive kinetics at room temperature.Herein,a concentrated perchlorate-based electrolyte consisting of 4.0 M Zn(ClO_(4))_(2)and saturated NaClO_(4)solution is developed to achieve dendrite-free and stable AZIBs at room temperature.The ClO_(4)−participates in the primary solvation sheath of Zn^(2+),facilitating the in situ formation of Zn_(5)(OH)_(8)Cl_(2)·H_(2)O-rich solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)to suppress the corrosion effect of ClO_(4)^(−).The Zn anode protected by the SEI achieves stable Zn plating/stripping over 3000 h.Furthermore,the MnO_(2)||Zn full cells manifest a stable specific capacity of 200 mAh·g^(−1)at 28℃and 101 mAh·g^(−1)at−20℃.This work introduces a promising approach for boosting the room-temperature performance of perchlorate-based electrolytes for AZIBs.

文摘Traumatic spinal cord injury often leads to the disintegration of nerve cells and axons,resulting in a substantial accumulation of myelin debris that can persist for years.The abnormal buildup of myelin debris at sites of injury greatly impedes nerve regeneration,making the clearance of debris within these microenvironments crucial for effective post-spinal cord injury repair.In this review,we comprehensively outline the mechanisms that promote the clearance of myelin debris and myelin metabolism and summarize their roles in spinal cord injury.First,we describe the composition and characteristics of myelin debris and explain its effects on the injury site.Next,we introduce the phagocytic cells involved in myelin debris clearance,including professional phagocytes(macrophages and microglia)and non-professional phagocytes(astrocytes and microvascular endothelial cells),as well as other cells that are also proposed to participate in phagocytosis.Finally,we focus on the pathways and associated targets that enhance myelin debris clearance by phagocytes and promote lipid metabolism following spinal cord injury.Our analysis indicates that myelin debris phagocytosis is not limited to monocyte-derived macrophages,but also involves microglia,astrocytes,and microvascular endothelial cells.By modulating the expression of genes related to phagocytosis and lipid metabolism,it is possible to modulate lipid metabolism disorders and influence inflammatory phenotypes,ultimately affecting the recovery of motor function following spinal cord injury.Additionally,therapies such as targeted mitochondrial transplantation in phagocytic cells,exosome therapy,and repeated trans-spinal magnetic stimulation can effectively enhance the removal of myelin debris,presenting promising potential for future applications.

文摘Neuron glia antigen-2(NG2)glia,also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells(OPCs),are essential for maintaining the normal function and structure of the central nervous system(CNS)due to their supportive role[1].Under physiological conditions,NG2 glia are involved in myelination by differentiating into oligodendrocytes,which are responsible for forming the myelin sheath around axons[2].In addition,the NG2 glia can directly influence the activity of neuronal circuits by receiving synaptic input from neurons and generating action potentials[3].Under pathological conditions,such as in response to injury or disease,the NG2 glia proliferate and differentiate to replace damaged oligodendrocytes,contributing to the repair and regeneration of myelin[4].
