Considering the effects of autonomic nervous system activity and mood associated with backpacks in mountaineering and hiking, research is also needed from a psychological perspective. In this study, the effects of adjusting the backpack shoulder stabilizer were preliminarily tested in terms of subjective fatigue and changes in autonomic nervous activity after hiking. Methods: The experimental 15 healthy participants hiked the mountain under two conditions: 1) without adjusting the stabilizer, a feature of the backpack (NAH condition), and 2) with the stabilizer adjusted (AH condition). First, all participants hiked the mountain in the NAH condition, and after a 30-minute break, they began the hike in the AH condition after confirming that a) their heart rate had recovered and b) they were in good physical condition. Results: HR was significantly lower after each hiking session than during the session. RMSSD was significantly lower pre-AH and post-AH than the NAH condition, but there was no significant difference between the NAH condition and either post-NAH or post-AH. Additionally, RMSSD was significantly lower in the AH condition than pre-AH or post-AH. The shoulders and back were significantly more burdened in the NAH condition than in the AH condition. The pleasure level was significantly higher in the AH condition than in the NAH condition. Conclusion: The results showed that also adjusting the position of the waist belt when adjusting the shoulder stabilizer, which is mainly used for the neck and shoulders, has a significant positive effect on the subjective burden on the upper body and parasympathetic nervous system activity after hiking.展开更多

This work reports the preparation of mesoporous SiO2nanoparticles with low surface energy, utilized as multifunctional agents to enhance the performance of oil-based drilling fluids aimed at improving wellbore stability. The results indicate that the coating prepared from these nanoparticles exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and antifouling properties, increasing the water contact angle from 32°to 146°and oil contact angle from 24°to134.8°. Additionally, these nanoparticles exhibit exceptional chemical stability and thermal resistance.Incorporating these nanoparticles into oil-based drilling fluids reduced the surface energy of the mud cake from 34.99 to 8.17 m J·m-2and increased the roughness of shale from 0.26 to 2.39 μm. These modifications rendered the mud cake and shale surfaces amphiphobic, effectively mitigating capillary infiltration and delaying the long-term strength degradation of shale in oil-based drilling fluids. After 28days of immersion in oil-based drilling fluid, shale cores treated with MF-SiO2exhibited a 30.5% increase in compressive strength compared to untreated cores. Additionally, these nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to penetrate and seal rock pores, reducing the API filtration volume of the drilling fluid from11.2 to 7.6 m L. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance the development of shale gas and oil resources, offering a promising strategy for wellbore stabilization in oil-based drilling fluid systems.展开更多

文摘The traditional cement-based stabilization cannot effectively stabilize the marine soft clay under submerged conditions.In order to solve this problem,the enhancement of cement-stabilized marine soft clay was investigated in this study by adding the ionic soil stabilizer(ISS)and polyacrylamide(PAM).For this purpose,varying contents of ISS and PAM(ISS-P)were added into cement-stabilized marine soft clay and subjected to curing under submerged conditions.Atterberg limits tests,direct shear tests,unconfined compression strength(UCS)tests,water-stability tests,scanning electron microscopy analysis,and X-ray diffraction analysis were carried out.The results show that using 1.8%ISS and 0.9%PAM as the optimal ratio,the cohesion,internal friction angle,UCS,and water-stability of the samples increased by 182.7%,15.4%,176.5%,and 368.5% compared to the cement-stabilized soft clay after 28 d.The increment in soil cohesion with increasing ISS-P content was more apparent than that in the internal friction angle.The combined action of ion exchange attraction and electrostatic adsorption altered the failure characteristics of the samples,resulting in localized micro-cracking and multiple failure paths.Increasing the content of ISS-P strengthened the skeletal structure of soil,reduced inter-particle spacing,and enhanced the water-stability.Additionally,ISS promotes the hydration of cement and compensates for the inhibitory effect of PAM on early cement hydration.ISS-P can effectively enhance the strength and stability of submerged cement-based stabilized marine soft clay.

文摘This study systematically investigated the Lean Blowoff(LBO)limits of Two-Dimensional(2D)bluff-body stabilized premixed flames by varying the air mass flow rate,inflowtemperature,bluff-body width,and fuel type.The data of LBO limits were analyzed and fittedaccording to the Damk?hler(Da)and Reynolds(Re)numbers,and the fitting accuracy of LBO datawas highly improved by a modified characteristic length simultaneously considering the length andwidth of the bluff body,which is usually neglected in the previous studies.Moreover,to our knowl-edge,this is the first time that simultaneous transverse and spanwise OH*-Chemiluminescence(CL)imaging has been performed to examine the three-dimensional behavior of the LBO process.The flame stability is heavily affected by the mass and energy transport between reactants andproducts in both directions,potentially leading to the flame pinch-off.The intensity and positionof the upstream flame after pinch-off are decisive to the occurrence of the following LBO.Whenthe upstream flame after pinch-off is weak and close to the bluff body,it cannot re-ignite thedownstream unburnt gas.Subsequently,a permanent downstream extinction occurs,and theLBO takes place.The results help understand the LBO mechanism of 2D bluff-body stabilizedflames.
文摘Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play vital roles in both biological systems and drug development.In recent years,increasing attention has been given to the functionalization of amino acid derivatives.Since the introduction of therapeutic insulin in the early 20th century,the conjugation of drug molecules with amino acids and peptides has been pivotal in driving advancements in drug discovery and become an integral part of modern medical practice.Currently,over a hundred peptide-drug conjugates have received global approval and are widely used to treat diseases such as diabetes,cancer,chronic pain,and multiple sclerosis.Key technologies for conjugating peptides with bioactive molecules include antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs),peptide-drug conjugates(PDCs),and proteolysis targeting chimeras(PROTACs).Significant efforts have been dedicated to developing strategies for the modification of amino acids and peptides,with particular focus on site-selective C-H alkylation/arylation reactions.These reactions are crucial for synthesizing bioactive molecules,as they enable the precise introduction of functional groups at specific positions,thereby improving the pharmacological properties of the resulting compounds.

文摘Interactions between cement clinkers and clay minerals are crucial to the much lower strength of cement-based stabilized clays than concrete or mortar.In this paper,the kaolinite-based and montmorillonite-based clays were respectively stabilized by tricalcium silicate(C3S)and tricalcium aluminate(C3A),and measured by the unconfined compressive strength(UCS),29Si/27Al solid state nuclear magnetic resonance(SS-NMR),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),and transmission electron microscope(TEM)to probe the clinker-clay mineral interaction from macro-mechanical,mineralogical,and microstructural perspectives.The results show that C3A-stabilized samples gain strength rapidly in the first 3 d but are only 20%e60%of the strength of C3S-stabilized ones after 60 d.Microstructures reveal that montmorillonite shows better pozzolanic reactivity due to its superior Sichain and lattice substitution compared to kaolinite.This interaction domains the engineering performance of stabilized clays,benefiting the design of stabilizer referring to as the industrial by-products and clay minerals.

文摘Approximately 3.44 billion tons of copper mine tailings(MT)were produced globally in 2018 with an increase of 45%from 2010.Significant efforts are being made to manage these tailings through storage facilities,recycling,and reuse in different industries.Currently,a large portion of tailings are managed through the tailing storage facilities(TSF)where these tailings undergo hydro-thermal-mechanical stresses with seasonal cycles which are not comprehensively understood.This study presents an investigative study to evaluate the performance of control and cement-stabilized copper MT under the influence of seasonal cycles,freeze-thaw(F-T)and wet-dry(W-D)conditions,representing the seasonal variability in the cold and arid regions.The control and cement-stabilized MT samples were subjected to a maximum of 12 F-T and 12 W-D cycles and corresponding micro-and-macro behavior was investigated through scanning electron microscope(SEM),volumetric strain(εvT,wet density(r),moisture content loss,and unconfined compressive strength(UCS)tests.The results indicated the vulnerability of Copper MT to 67%and 75%strength loss reaching residual states with 12 F-T and 8 W-D cycles,respectively.Whereas the stabilized MT retained 39%-55%and 16%-34%strength with F-T and W-D cycles,demonstrating increased durability.This research highlights the impact of seasonal cycles and corresponding strength-deformation characteristics of control and stabilized Copper MT in cold and arid regions.

文摘Oil-based drilling fluids possess excellent properties such as shale inhibition, cuttings suspension, and superior lubrication, making them essential in the development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs.However, wellbore instability, caused by the invasion of drilling fluids into shale formations, remains a significant challenge for the safe and efficient extraction of shale oil and gas. This work reports the preparation of mesoporous SiO2nanoparticles with low surface energy, utilized as multifunctional agents to enhance the performance of oil-based drilling fluids aimed at improving wellbore stability. The results indicate that the coating prepared from these nanoparticles exhibit excellent hydrophobicity and antifouling properties, increasing the water contact angle from 32°to 146°and oil contact angle from 24°to134.8°. Additionally, these nanoparticles exhibit exceptional chemical stability and thermal resistance.Incorporating these nanoparticles into oil-based drilling fluids reduced the surface energy of the mud cake from 34.99 to 8.17 m J·m-2and increased the roughness of shale from 0.26 to 2.39 μm. These modifications rendered the mud cake and shale surfaces amphiphobic, effectively mitigating capillary infiltration and delaying the long-term strength degradation of shale in oil-based drilling fluids. After 28days of immersion in oil-based drilling fluid, shale cores treated with MF-SiO2exhibited a 30.5% increase in compressive strength compared to untreated cores. Additionally, these nanoparticles demonstrated the ability to penetrate and seal rock pores, reducing the API filtration volume of the drilling fluid from11.2 to 7.6 m L. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance the development of shale gas and oil resources, offering a promising strategy for wellbore stabilization in oil-based drilling fluid systems.
文摘Non-aqueous emulsions have a wide range of applications in cosmetics,drug-controlled release,and the preparation of functional nanoparticles.However,due to the weaker polarity of non-aqueous solvents,these emulsions often exhibit inferior stability compared to their aqueous counterparts.In this experiment,the properties of quaternary ammonium surfactants in glycerol were investigated through surface tension measurements,to further enhance the stability of n-decane/glycerol emulsions,hydrophilic nanoparticles SiO_(2) were modified in situ using double tailed quaternary ammonium surfactants Di-C_(12)DAB and Di-C_(16)DAB.Stable n-decane/glycerol Pickering emulsions were successfully prepared.These emulsions were stable at 45℃for over six months,and no significant changes in droplet size occurred.The minimum droplet size of the emulsion was only 2-3μm.Contact angle measurements showed that the wettability of the silica surface was tremendously affected by the concentration and the alkyl chain length of the double-tailed surfactants.In the presence of Di-C_(12)DAB,the contact angle of glycerol on the silica surface increased monotonically with the surfactant concentration.This explains the phenomenon that the Pickering emulsions containing Di-C_(12)DAB and silica particles were stable within the contact angle range of 80°-120°.Comparatively,the contact angle of the glycerol on the silica surface in the presence of Di-C_(16)DAB first increased with surfactant concentrations and then decreased,reaching a maximum at 0.6 mmol/L.It can be concluded that Di-C_(12)DAB formed monolayers at the surface of silica particles within all investigated concentrations.On the contrary,Di-C_(16)DAB formed monolayers at concentrations below 0.6 mmol/L and formed double layers at concentrations above 0.6 mmol/L,leading to a non-monotonic change in the contact angle with respect to concentration.Using these stable non-aqueous Pickering emulsions as templates,polymer microspheres with a particle size of 2-3μm were successfully prepared with high yield.This work is helpful to expand the potential applications of non-aqueous emulsions in the encapsulation of drug,controlled release,material preparation,and cosmetic formulations.

文摘Evaluating the stabilized lead(Pb)-contaminated soils through sampling and laboratory testing involves costly and time-consuming processes.Therefore,this study employed a low-cost and non-destructive resistivity tool to evaluate the Pb-contaminated soils stabilized by electrolytic manganese residue(EMR)-based geopolymer(EG-OPC)from the strength and environmental benefits perspective.First,unconfined compressive strength(UCS)and leaching tests were conducted to study the stabilization effectiveness of EG-OPC.Results indicated that the UCS values of soil(5000 mg/kg of pollutants)stabilized by 20%EG-OPC were 4.87 MPa and 8.13 MPa after 7 d and 60 d of curing,respectively.After 60 d of curing,the Pb concentration in the leachate reached 44 mg/L,far lower than the control group(321 mg/L).Second,soil,pore water,and leachate resistivity(ERS,ERW,and ERL)were measured to establish fitting relationships with strength parameters and pollution risk.The good fitting results(e.g.ERS/ERW versus UCS/secant modulus(E50):correlation coefficient R2 z 0.9,ERS/ERW versus Pb contents:R2 z 0.9,and ERL versus Pb2þconcentration:R2¼0.92)and well used Archie's law(ERS versus ERW:R2>0.9)indicate that the resistivity can be used to evaluate the stabilization effectiveness.Furthermore,the microscopic results revealed two behaviors,demonstrating the reliability of resistivity:(1)with the hydration process,resistivity increases due to a denser structure and lower amounts of free water and Pb ions,and(2)the addition of Pb reduces resistivity due to its inhibition or even destructive effects on cementation and formation of hydration products.

文摘Encapsulation and protection of hesperidin(HES)in mung bean protein isolate(MPI)-dextran(DX)conjugatestabilized nanoemulsions(MDC NEs)were investigated in this study.The degree of grafting of MDC prepared by a dry-heating method reached 39.70%±0.01% under the optimal conditions of MPI/DX mass ratio 1:2.3,reaction temperature 58.8℃,and reaction time 4 d.Moreover,the analyses of Fourier infrared spectroscopy,intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy,surface hydrophobicity,and thermal stability further confirmed the covalent grafting of dextran onto MPI molecules.When encapsulated in MDC NEs at 80 MPa for three times by highpressure homogenization,the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of HES were 63.62%±0.01%and 0.40±0.00 g/g,respectively.The encapsulated HES exhibited higher antioxidant activity and stronger light and storage stability than the free HES.Additionally,the incorporation of HES inhibited the formation of lipid peroxides in the nanoemulsions.The findings suggest that glycosylation combined with high-pressure homogenization is an effective strategy for enhancing the stability of MPI-based emulsions and improving their encapsulation of HES.This study provides a promising approach for the development of innovative food and beverage products based on MPI emulsions or new materials for encapsulating fat-soluble bioactive compounds.

文摘The present study investigates the engineering properties of submerged organic silt(orSi)stabilized with F-class fly ash(FA),with and without the addition of an activator(CaO).The utilization of F-class FA for soil improvement is an important aspect of sustainable and environmentally-conscious geotechnical engineering when marginal usage of lime and concrete is of great interest to engineers and societies.Currently,discussion is predominantly focused on the positive aspects of using the F-class FA,with a paucity of emphasis on the negative aspects.To explore these features more thoroughly,a series of strength and compressibility tests was conducted.The sample preparation and curing methodology were chosen to replicate the in situ conditions where soil is surcharged and submerged in water.It was found that the incorporation of F-class FA without an activator reduces the undrained shear strength of submerged orSi by about 20%–25%and permanently prevents any thixotropic strength restoration.An increase in undrained shear strength is observed when lime(3%–6%)is added to the soil–FA mixture or when only lime(in the same amount of 3%–6%)is used.Consequently,F-class FA can be successfully used as a filler for slurries with minimum lime content in soil mixing methods.The F-class FA(with or without an activator)shifts the so-called“creep delay”in time,consequently reducing the total creep settlements.The shift of“creep delay”is more considerable for orSi stabilized with lime or with FA and lime as an activator,than for orSi stabilized with pure F-class FA.

文摘Ni-rich LiNi_(0.8)Mn_(0.1)Co_(0.1)O_(2)(NCM)cathodes in layered oxide cathodes are attractive for high-energy lithium-ion batteries but suffer from rapid capacity fade and thermal instability at high charge voltages.In this study,we propose an entropy-assisted multi-element doping strategy to mitigate these issues.Specifically,two routes are designed and compared:bulk-like localized high-entropy doping(BHE-NCM)and surface-distributed high-entropy-zone doping(SHE-NCM).The surface entropy-doped NCM cathode delivers enhanced electrochemical performance,including higher capacity retention under 4.5 V cycling and superior rate capability,compared to both bulk-like and pristine counterparts.Comprehensive material characterization reveals that surface-localized doping stabilizes the layered structure with reduced microcrack formation and creates a uniform dopant-rich surface region with improved thermal and electrochemical stability.Overall,entropy-assisted doping at the near surface zone effectively alleviates structural degradation and interface reactions in Ni-rich NCM,enabling improved cycling performance at high voltage.This work highlights the significance of surface entropy engineering as a promising strategy for designing high-voltage cathodes with improved safety and longevity.

文摘The development of high-performance cathode materials is critical to the practical application of sodiumion batteries(SIBs).O3-type NaCrO_(2)(NCO)is one of the most competitive cathodes,but it suffers from rapid capacity decay caused by severe irreversible structural evolution.An Mg-Ti co-doped Na_(0.99)Cr_(0.95)Mg_(0.02)Ti_(0.03)O_(2)(NCO-MT)cathode material is designed and synthesized via a facile solid-state reaction to enhance the cyclability of NCO.A capacity retention of 71.6%after 2500 cycles with the capacity fade rate of 0.011%per cycle is achieved for NCO-MT at 5 C,which is attributed to the highly reversible crystal structure during cycling.Our findings offer a novel insight into the high-performance O3-type layered cathode materials for SIBs and are beneficial to promote the development of high-rate SIBs.

文摘Nickel-rich LiNi_(x)Co_(y)Mn_(1-x-y)O_(2)(NCM)cathodes,pivotal for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries,face severe challenges from surface residual lithium compounds and hydrofluoric acid(HF)-induced degradation.These issues accelerate capacity fading,exacerbate interfacial polarization,and compromise safety.To address these issues,we proposed a scalable CeF_(3)/H_(3)BO_(3)hybrid coating strategy for LiNi_(0.82)Co_(0.12)Mn_(0.06)O_(2)cathodes.The CeF_(3)nanoparticles served as a robust physical barrier,effectively scavenging HF,while the LiBO_(2)layer derived from H_(3)BO_(3)eliminated residual Li_(2)CO_(3)through chemical conversion and established rapid Li^(+)transport pathways.Dynamic B-O bond reorganization enabled self-repair of coating defects,synergistically suppressing interfacial polarization and maintaining structural integrity.Electrochemical evaluations demonstrated that the hybridcoated cathode achieves 94%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 1C(2.8-4.3 V),significantly outperforming the pristine NCM(56.3%).Additionally,the modified cathode exhibits enhanced air stability,with suppressed H_(2)O/CO_(2)infiltration,and delivers 80%capacity retention after 1000 cycles in practical pouch cells.This work provides a costeffective and industrially viable solution to simultaneously mitigate HF corrosion,residual lithium accumulation,and cathode-electrolyte interphase instability,paving the way for durable high-energy-density batteries.
