文摘Photoinduced[2+2]cycloaddition of biomass-derived cycloolefin is a promising approach to synthesize high-energy bio-fuels,however,the conversion efficiency and selectivity are still low.Herein,we provide an acid-promoted photocycloaddition approach to synthesize a new kind of spiral fuel from biomass-derived cyclohexanone (CHOE) and camphene (CPE).BrΦnsted acids show higher catalytic activity than Lewis acids,and acetic acid (HOAc) possesses the best catalytic performance,with CHOE conversion up to 99.1%.Meanwhile,the HOAc-catalytic effect has been confirmed for[2+2]photocycloaddition of other biomass-derived ketenes and olefins.The catalytic mechanism and dynamics have been investigated,and show that HOAc can bond with C=O groups of CHOE to form H–CHOE complex,which leads to higher light adsorption and longer triplet lifetime.Meanwhile,H–CHOE complex reduces the energy gap between CHOE LUMO and CPE HOMO,shortens the distance of ring-forming atoms,and then decreases the energy barrier (from 103.3 kcal mol^(-1)to 95.8 kcal mol^(-1)) of rate-limiting step.After hydrodeoxygenation,the targeted bio-spiral fuel shows high density of 0.992 g cm^(-3),high neat heat of combustion of 41.89 MJ L^(-1),low kinetic viscosity of 5.69 mm^(2)s^(-1)at 20℃,which is very promising to serve as high-performance aerospace fuel.

文摘During high-speed rotation,the surface of aeronautic spiral bevel gears will generate significant pressure and viscous forces,which will cause a certain amount of windage power loss and reduce the efficiency of the transmission system.Based on the computational fluid dynamics,this paper analyzes the windage power loss of a single spiral bevel gear and a spiral bevel gear pair under oil injection lubrication.In addition,the shroud is used to suppress gear windage loss,and the clearance size and opening angle of the designed shroud are optimized.Finally,by comparing and analyzing the experimental results,the following conclusions were obtained:(1)For a single gear,the speed is the most important factor affecting windage loss,followed by the hand of spiral,and rotation direction;(2)For gear pairs,under oil injection lubrication,the input speed has the greatest impact on windage power loss,followed by the influence of oil injection port speed,temperature and oil injection port pressure;(3)Installing a shroud is an effective method to reduce windage power loss;(4)In the pure air phase,the smaller the clearance between the shroud and the gear surface,and the smaller the radial direction between the shroud and the shaft,the better the effect of reducing windage;(5)In the two-phase flow of oil and gas,it is necessary to design oil drainage holes on the shroud to ensure the smooth discharge of lubricating oil and improve the drag reduction effect.

文摘Optical field manipulation,an emerging frontier in photonics,demonstrates significant potential in biomedical microscopy,quantum state engineering,and micro-nano fabrication.To address the critical limitations of current optical modulation technologies in achieving full-parameter precision control,we proposed a novel approach for dynamic azimuthal optical field modulation based on dual-spiral arrays.By designing spatially interleaved spiral structures with different initial radii while maintaining identical periodic parameters,we achieved continuous optical modulation spanning the full 0-2πrange in azimuthal field distribution.Through rigorous numerical simulations,we systematically established a quantitative correlation between the structural parameters and azimuthal optical field patterns,revealing,for the first time,a quasi-linear relationship between the radius difference and the resultant optical distribution.This theoretical framework advances our fundamental understanding of structured optical field manipulation as well as provides a new paradigm for programmable photonic device design,with distinct technical advantages in super-resolution imaging and optical tweezer systems.
文摘Heating,ventilation,and air conditioning(HVAC)systems contribute substantially to global energy consumption,while rejecting significant amounts of low-grade heat into the environment.This paper presents a nonintrusive spiral-coil heat exchanger designed to recover waste heat from the outdoor condenser of a split-type air conditioner.The system operates externally without altering the existing HVAC configuration,thereby rendering it suitable for retrofitting.Water was circulated as the working fluid at flow rates of 0.028–0.052 kg/s to assess thermal performance.Performance indicators,including the outlet water temperature,heat transfer rate,convective coefficient,and efficiency,were systematically evaluated.The system achieved a maximum outlet water temperature of 67℃and a peak thermal efficiency of 91.07%at the highest flow rate.The uncertainty analysis confirmed reliable measurements within±3.45%.The monthly energy savings were estimated at 178.35 kWh,accompanied by a reduction in CO_(2)emissions of up to 187.26 kg,yielding a short payback period of 1.06 years.These results demonstrate the feasibility of spiral-coil heat exchangers as cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional electric water heaters.The proposed approach not only enhances the overall energy utilization but also contributes to energy conservation and climate mitigation objectives.

文摘In this paper,a 4×4 wideband linearly po-larization(LP)antenna array is proposed by using pla-nar dual-arm spiral structures.Wideband balun struc-tures,composed of microstrip line-fed coupling slots,are adopted to feed two dual-arms spiral structures with opposite phases.Then,by combining the left-and right-hand circular polarizations,a linearly polar-ization is achieved.The proposed antenna has a wide operating bandwidth due to the wideband nature of the spiral structure.Simulated results show that the an-tenna element can achieve a 68.73%impedance band-width and a maximum gain of 6.64 dBi within 19.44–38.83 GHz.A 4×4 array prototype is designed to verify the concept.Measured results show that an impedance bandwidth of 63.73%is obtained.The pro-posed array has the merits of a wide bandwidth,a low profile,a low cost,and a small size,which is promis-ing for the application in millimeter wave wireless sys-tems.

文摘Objective:This study aims to establish an economically viable and easily accessible adult animal model for optogenetic activation of auditory neurons using adeno-associated viruses(AAVs)carrying Ch R2(H134R)to explore the potential of cochlear optogenetics as a hearing restoration technology.Methods:Healthy adult guinea pigs were used in the experiments.The viral vector AAV2/8-Ch R2(H134R)-h Syn-e YFP was administered to the right cochlea via the round window membrane.The confocal microscopy and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)were utilized to analyze the Ch R2(H134R)expression localized to spiral ganglion neurons(SGNs).The auditory pathway activation was assessed by recording the optical compound action potential(oCAP)and acoustic compound action potential(a CAP)at various laser intensities.Results:The Ch R2(H134R)-e YFP expression was confirmed in 90%of the tested animals,localized to the SGNs of the injected ear.Higher m RNA levels of Ch R2(H134R)and e YFP were observed in the injected ear compared to the non-injected ear,while actin(Actb)m RNA levels were not significantly different.The o CAP was successfully elicited by a 470 nm blue light laser stimulus,with similar amplitudes and latency periods to those of a CAPs when the o CAP was evoked by 5.80 m W blue light and the a CAP was evoked by a 40 d B SPL click.The amplitudes of o CAPs increased with increasing laser intensity.Conclusion:This study demonstrates the viability of optogenetic activation of the auditory system in adult guinea pigs through the transduction of AAV-Ch R2(H134R)in SGNs.Cochlear optogenetics demonstrates potential as a hearing restoration technology,providing a basis for further clinical research and opening new avenues for investigation.
文摘BACKGROUND In postsurgical upper gastrointestinal anatomy,motorized spiral enteroscopy(MSE)assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography(ERCP)was shown feasible and has the advantage that standard ERCP instruments can be used.Therefore,MSE-ERCP appears to be the optimal solution for postsurgical patients,especially with Roux-en-Y anatomy.AIM To show feasibility and safety of MSE-ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive MSE-ERCP procedures in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy between September 2021 and May 2023 in an endoscopic tertiary referral center.RESULTS We identified 26 MSE-ERCPs:(1)18 MSE-ERCPs in 13 patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy after liver transplantation(n=11)or gastrectomy(n=2);and(2)Another 8 MSE-ERCP interventions in 5 patients with very long Roux-en-Y situation after gastric bypass.Overall success of reaching the biliary entry was 88%and further interventions were successful in 83%of patients.In very long alimentary limb situations,success of reaching the biliary entry was not-significantly lower compared to“standard”Roux-en-Y(75%vs 94%,P=0.215).ERCP-interventions were not-significantly less successful in patients with native papilla compared to hepaticojejunostomy(63%vs 93%,P=0.103).Mean intervention time was 105 minutes.Intervention times were longer in very long limb situations(133 minutes vs 91 minutes;P=0.032).Overall,we observed three adverse events(n=1 caused by enteroscopy,n=1 caused by the biliary intervention,n=1 unrelated to the procedure).In 15/26 cases(58%)MSE-ERCP was carried out on an outpatient basis.CONCLUSION MSE-ERCP has been a promising technique for patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction requiring biliary interventions.However,MSE was recently withdrawn from the market due to severe safety concerns,which were not observed in this study.

文摘To achieve high-precision trajectory following during helicopter maneuver tasks and reduce the disruptive influences of unknown variabilities,this study introduces a cascaded-loop helicopter trajectory tracking controller,whose parameters are set using an Ant Colony OptimizationSlime Mould Algorithm(ACO-SMA).Initially,a nonlinear flight dynamics model of the helicopter is constructed.Observer gain functions and nonlinear feedback from a vibrational suppression function to improve the tracking performance of the controller,addressing issues in disturbance estimation and compensation of the Active Disturbance Rejection Control(ADRC).Simultaneously,a cascaded loop system,comprising an internal attitude loop and an external position loop,is created,and the ant colony-slime mold hybrid algorithm optimizes the system parameters of the trajectory tracking controller.Finally,helicopter trajectory tracking simulation experiments are conducted,including spiral ascending and“8”shape climbing maneuvers.The findings indicate that the ADRC employed for helicopter trajectory tracking exhibits outstanding performance in rejecting disturbances caused by gusts and accurately tracking trajectories.The trajectory tracking controller,whose parameters are optimized by the ACO-SMA,shows higher tracking precision compared to the conventional PID and ADRC,thereby substantially improving the precision of maneuver tasks.

文摘Spiral waves,as a typical self-organized structure with chiral characteristics,are widely found in excitable media such as cardiac tissues,chemical reactions,and neural networks.Based on the Fitz Hugh–Nagumo model,we investigated the mechanisms underlying the effects of direct current electric fields(DCEF),alternating current electric fields(ACEF),and polarized electric fields(PEF)on the interaction and annihilation processes of counter-rotating spiral waves.We found that in a direct current electric field,the drift direction of the spiral wave is determined jointly by its chirality and the electric field direction,which allows selective attraction or repulsion.In an alternating current electric field,the annihilation behavior of spiral waves can be influenced by the phase and intensity of the electric field,where a specific range of parameters induces resonance drift and eventual annihilation.On the other hand,the polarized electric field exhibits a more complex modulation capability on spiral waves:the trajectory and annihilation efficiency of spiral waves can be regulated by both the intensity and phase of the polarized electric field.These results reveal the potential feasibility of regulating multichiral spiral waves through multiple electric fields,providing theoretical insight for the control of spiral waves in relevant systems.

文摘Under the dual-carbon background,the technological updating of traditional high-energy-consuming equipment should not be delayed,and the problem of reactor energy consumption should not be ignored.Therefore,this study is based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD)theory to simulate the spiral stirred reactor with different design parameters(distance of paddle from bottom surface to reactor height ratio h1/H,diameter of stirring paddle to reactor diameter ratio Ds/D,length of blade section to reactor height ratio Ls/H).It was found that the reactor designed with lower Ls/H values and higher h1/H,Ds/D values would have smaller power number(Np)values and smaller flow field average velocity.In addition,this study also fitted the correlation equation of Np concerning Reynolds number and h1/H,Ds/D,and Ls/H,and the conclusions of the study can be used as a reference for the design of industrial equipment.

文摘Spiral patterns widely exist in both macroscopic and microscopic systems such as hearts,bacteria,and active matters but have never been reported at molecular length scale.The emergence of spiral patterns has considerable impacts on the trajectories of the objects and thus usually relates to various physical,chemical,biological and physiological processes.In this paper,we show that,down to the length scale of only several Angstroms,asymmetric molecules exhibit spiral patterns in their trajectories within finite time based on the under-damped Langevin equation and demonstrated by molecular dynamics simulation.The key to this observation lies in the asymmetric molecular architecture that leads to a translation-rotation coupling.This finding enriches the knowledge of spiral patterns to the molecular length scale,provides a new insight into the understanding of various processes at the molecular level,and may evoke new ideas on the understanding of the vortices in turbulence.

文摘Organisms have evolved a strain limiting mechanism,reflected as a non-linear elastic constitutive,to prevent large deformations from threatening soft tissue integrity.Compared with linear elastic substrates,the wrinkle of films on non-linear elastic substrates has received less attention.In this article,a unique wrinkle evolution of the film-substrate system with a J-shaped non-linear stress-strain relation is reported.The result shows that a concave hexagonal array pattern is formed with the shrinkage strain of the film-substrate systems developing.As the interconnection of hexagonal arrays,a unit cell ridge network appears with properties such as chirality and helix.The subparagraph maze pattern formed with high compression is mainly composed of special single-cell ridge networks such as spiral single cores,chiral double cores,and combined multi-cores.This evolutionary model is highly consistent with the results of experiments,and it also predicts wrinkle morphology that has not yet been reported.These findings can serve as a novel explanation for the surface wrinkle of biological soft tissue,as well as provide references for the preparation of artificial biomaterials and programmable soft matter.

文摘To mill fine and well-defined micro-dimpled structures,a machining manner of spiral trajectory tool reciprocating motion,where the tool repeats the process of‘feed milling–retract–cutting feed–feed milling again’along the spiral trajectory,was proposed.From the kinematics analysis,it is found that the machining quality of micro-dimpled structures is highly dependent on the machining trajectory using spiral trajectory tool reciprocating motion.To reveal this causation,simulation modelling and experimental studies were carried out.A simulation model was developed to quantitatively and qualitatively investigate the influence of the trajectory discretization strategies(constant-angle and constant-arc length)and parameters(discrete angle,discrete arc length,and pitch)on surface texture and residual height of micro-dimpled structures.Subsequently,micro-dimpled structures were milled under different trajectory discretization strategies and parameters with spiral trajectory tool reciprocating motion.A comprehensive comparison between the milled results and simulation analysis was made based on geometry accuracy,surface morphology and surface roughness of milled dimples.Meanwhile,the errors and factors affecting the above three aspects were analyzed.The results demonstrate both the feasibility of the established simulation model and the machining capability of this machining way in milling high-quality micro-dimpled structures.Spiral trajectory tool reciprocating motion provides a new machining way for milling micro-dimpled structures and micro-dimpled functional surfaces.And an appropriate machining trajectory can be generated based on the optimized trajectory parameters,thus contributing to the improvement of machining quality and efficiency.
