However, current research has not taken biomimetic electrical functional units into consideration when designing biomedical implants. In this research, ordered structures with Schottky heterojunction functional unit (OSSH) were constructed on titanium implant surfaces for bone regeneration regulation. The Schottky heterojunction functional unit is composed of periodically distributed titanium microdomain and titanium oxide microdomain with different carrier densities and surface potentials. The OSSH regulates the M2-type polarization of macrophages to a regenerative immune response by activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal pathway and further promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. This work provides fundamental insights into the biological effects driven by the Schottky heterojunction functional units that can electrically modulate osteogenesis.展开更多

文摘To elucidate the effect of calcite-regulated activated carbon(AC)structure on low-temperature denitrification performance of SCR catalysts,this work prepared a series of Mn-Ce/De-AC-xCaCO_(3)(x is the calcite content in coal)catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method,followed by acid washing to remove calcium-containing minerals.Comprehensive characterization and low-temperature denitrification tests revealed that calcite-induced structural modulation of coal-derived AC significantly enhances catalytic activity.Specifically,NO conversion increased from 88.3%of Mn-Ce/De-AC to 91.7%of Mn-Ce/De-AC-1CaCO_(3)(210℃).The improved SCR denitrification activity results from the enhancement of physicochemical properties including higher Mn^(4+)content and Ce^(4+)/Ce^(3+)ratio,an abundance of chemisorbed oxygen and acidic sites,which could strengthen the SCR reaction pathways(richer NH_(3)activated species and bidentate nitrate active species).Therefore,NO removal is enhanced.

文摘The stability and electrocatalytic efficiency of transition metal oxides for water splitting is determined by geometric and electronic structure,especially under high current densities.Herein,a newly designed lamella-heterostructured nanoporous CoFe/CoFe_(2)O_(4) and CeO_(2−x),in situ grown on nickel foam(NF),holds great promise as a high-efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst(named R-CoFe/Ce/NF)for water splitting.Experimental characterization verifies surface reconstruction from CoFe alloy/oxide to highly active CoFeOOH during in situ electrochemical polarization.By virtues of three-dimensional nanoporous architecture and abundant electroactive CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterostructure interfaces,the R-CoFe/Ce/NF electrode achieves low overpotentials for oxygen evolution(η_(10)=227 mV;η_(500)=450 mV)and hydrogen evolution(η_(10)=35 mV;η_(408)=560 mV)reactions with high normalized electrochemical active surface areas,respectively.Additionally,the alkaline full water splitting electrolyzer of R-CoFe/Ce/NF||R-CoFe/Ce/NF achieves a current density of 50 mA·cm^(−2) only at 1.75 V;the decline of activity is satisfactory after 100-h durability test at 300 mA·cm^(−2).Density functional theory also demonstrates that the electron can transfer from CeO_(2−x) by virtue of O atom to CoFeOOH at CoFeOOH/CeO_(2−x) heterointerfaces and enhancing the adsorption of reactant,thus optimizing electronic structure and Gibbs free energies for the improvement of the activity for water splitting.

文摘Alkali-free SiO_(2)-Al_(2)O_(3)-CaO-MgO with different SiO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3)mass ratios was prepared by conventional melt quenching method.The glass network structure,thermodynamic properties and elastic modulus changes with SiO_(2)and Al_(2)O_(3)ratios were investigated using various techniques.It is found that when SiO_(2)is replaced by Al_(2)O_(3),the Q^(4) to Q^(3) transition of silicon-oxygen network decreases while the aluminum-oxygen network increases,which result in the transformation of Si-O-Si bonds to Si-O-Al bonds and an increase in glass network connectivity even though the intermolecular bond strength decreases.The glass transition temperature(T_(g))increases continuously,while the thermal expansion coefficient increases and high-temperature viscosity first decreases and then increases.Meanwhile,the elastic modulus values increase from 93 to 102 GPa.This indicates that the elastic modulus is mainly affected by packing factor and dissociation energy,and elements with higher packing factors and dissociation energies supplant those with lower values,resulting in increased rigidity within the glass.

文摘To investigate the pore structure of graphene oxide modified polymer cement mortar(GOPM)under salt-freeze-thaw(SFT)coupling effects and its impact on deterioration,this study modifies polymer cement mortar(EMCM)with graphene oxide(GO).The micro-pore structure of GOPM is characterized using LF-NMR and SEM.Fractal theory is applied to calculate the fractal dimension of pore volume,and the deterioration patterns are analyzed based on the evolution characteristics of capillary pores.The experimental results indicate that,after 25 salt-freeze-thaw cycles(SFTc),SO2-4 ions penetrate the matrix,generating corrosion products that fill existing pores and enhance the compactness of the specimen.As the number of cycles increases,the ongoing formation and expansion of corrosion products within the matrix,combined with persistent freezing forces,and result in the degradation of the pore structure.Therefore,the mass loss rate(MLR)of the specimens shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing,while the relative dynamic elastic modulus(RDEM)initially increases and then decreases.Compared to the PC group specimens,the G3PM group specimens show a 28.71% reduction in MLR and a 31.42% increase in RDEM after 150 SFTc.The fractal dimensions of the transition pores,capillary pores,and macropores in the G3PM specimens first increase and then decrease as the number of SFTc increases.Among them,the capillary pores show the highest correlation with MLR and RDEM,with correlation coefficients of 0.97438 and 0.98555,respectively.

文摘Tilted metasurface nanostructures,with excellent physical properties and enormous application potential,pose an urgent need for manufacturing methods.Here,electric-field-driven generative-nanoimprinting technique is proposed.The electric field applied between the template and the substrate drives the contact,tilting,filling,and holding processes.By accurately controlling the introduced included angle between the flexible template and the substrate,tilted nanostructures with a controllable angle are imprinted onto the substrate,although they are vertical on the template.By flexibly adjusting the electric field intensity and the included angle,large-area uniform-tilted,gradient-tilted,and high-angle-tilted nanostructures are fabricated.In contrast to traditional replication,the morphology of the nanoimprinting structure is extended to customized control.This work provides a cost-effective,efficient,and versatile technology for the fabrication of various large-area tilted metasurface structures.As an illustration,a tilted nanograting with a high coupling efficiency is fabricated and integrated into augmented reality displays,demonstrating superior imaging quality.

文摘Microbial corrosion of hydraulic concrete structures(HCSs)has received increasing research concerns.However,knowledge on the morphology of attached biofilms,as well as the community structures and functions cultivated under variable nutrient levels is lacking.Here,biofilm colonization patterns and community structures responding to variable levels of ammonia and sulfate were explored.From field sampling,NH_(4)^(+)-N was proven key factor governing community structure in attached biofilms,verifying the reliability of selecting target nutrient species in batch experiments.Biofilms exhibited significant compositional differences in field sampling and incubation experiments.As the nutrient increased in batch experiments,the growth of biofilms gradually slowed down and uneven distribution was detected.The proportions of proteins and β-d-glucose polysaccharides in biofilms experienced a decrease in response to elevated levels of nutrients.With the increased of nutrients,themass losses of concretes exhibited an increase,reaching a highest value of 2.37%in the presence of 20 mg/L of ammonia.Microbial communities underwent a significant transition in structure and metabolic functions to ammonia gradient.The highest activity of nitrification was observed in biofilms colonized in the presence of 20 mg/L of ammonia.While the communities and their functions remained relativelymore stable responding to sulfate gradient.Our research provides novel insights into the structures of biofilms attached on HCSs and the metabolic functions in the presence of high level of nutrients,which is of significance for the operation and maintenance of hydraulic engineering structures.

文摘Pain-induced emotions are the negative moods caused by pain,such as depression and anxiety.Acupunc-ture can effectively relieve pain-induced emotions,and its mechanism is closely related to the regulation of neuroplasticity.Neuroplasticity is composed of two types,functional neuroplasticity and structural neuroplasticity.(1)Acupuncture improves functional neuroplasticity by inhibiting the activation of mi-croglia and astrocytes,regulating the expression of neurotransmitters and receptors,modulating cellular signal transduction pathways,and optimizing synaptic transmission efficiency.(2)Acupuncture improves structural neuroplasticity by modulating neuronal synaptic plasticity,inhibiting neuronal apoptosis,and up-regulating the expression of the BDNF/TrKB/CREB signaling pathway.Additionally,acupuncture up-regulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factors to improve both the functional and struc-tural neuroplasticity,thus relieves pain-induced emotions.The above discovery provides an approach to the mechanism research of acupuncture for pain-induced emotions.

文摘Mimicking the electric microenvironment of natural tissue is a promising strategy for developing biomedical implants. However, current research has not taken biomimetic electrical functional units into consideration when designing biomedical implants. In this research, ordered structures with Schottky heterojunction functional unit (OSSH) were constructed on titanium implant surfaces for bone regeneration regulation. The Schottky heterojunction functional unit is composed of periodically distributed titanium microdomain and titanium oxide microdomain with different carrier densities and surface potentials. The OSSH regulates the M2-type polarization of macrophages to a regenerative immune response by activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal pathway and further promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. This work provides fundamental insights into the biological effects driven by the Schottky heterojunction functional units that can electrically modulate osteogenesis.

文摘Ganoderma polysaccharides(GPs),derived from various species of the Ganoderma genus,exhibit diverse bioactivities,including immune modulation,anti-tumor effects,and gut microbiota regulation.These properties position GPs as dual-purpose agents for medicinal and functional food development.This review comprehensively explores the structural complexity of six key GPs and their specific mechanisms of action,such as TLR signaling in immune modulation,apoptosis pathways in anti-tumor activity,and their prebiotic effects on gut microbiota.Additionally,the structure-activity relationships(SARs)of GPs are highlighted to elucidate their biological efficacy.Advances in green extraction techniques,including ultrasonic-assisted and enzymatic methods,are discussed for their roles in enhancing yield and aligning with sustainable production principles.Furthermore,the review addresses biotechnological innovations in polysaccharide biosynthesis,improving production efficiency and making large-scale production feasible.These insights,combined with ongoing research into their bioactivity,provide a solid foundation for developing health-promoting functional food products that incorporate GPs.Furthermore,future research directions are suggested to optimize biosynthesis pathways and fully harness the health benefits of these polysaccharides.

文摘Based on the observational data from 60 short-period stations deployed in the Jishishan M6.2 earthquake epicenter and adjacent regions(Gansu Province,2023),this study inverted the near-surface S-wave velocity structure through teleseismic receiver function analysis by using the amplitude of direct P-wave.The results reveal that the epicentral area(Liugou Township and surroundings)exhibits markedly low S-wave velocities of 400-600 m/s,with a mean value of(500±50)m/s.In contrast,intermountain basins-Guanting Basin and Dahejia Basin-demonstrate significantly elevated velocities,exceeding the epicentral zone by 100-300 m/s,with values concentrated at 600-900 m/s.Notably,localized areas such as Jintian Village and Caotan Village maintain stable S-wave velocities of(700±30)m/s.The western margin tectonic belt of Jishishan displays distinctive velocity differentiation:A pronounced velocity gradient zone along the 35.8°N latitude boundary separates northern areas(<550 m/s)from southern regions(>750 m/s).These findings demonstrate significant spatial heterogeneity in shallow S-wave velocity structures,primarily controlled by three factors:(1)topographic-geomorphic units,(2)stratigraphic lithological contrasts,and(3)anthropogenic modifications.The persistent low-velocity anomalies(<600 m/s)in the epicentral zone and northern Yellow River T2 terrace likely correlate with Quaternary unconsolidated sediments,enhanced groundwater circulation,and bedrock weathering.These results provide critical geophysical constraints for understanding both the seismogenic environment of the Jishishan earthquake and its damage distribution patterns.Furthermore,they establish a foundational framework for regional seismic intensity evaluation,site amplification analysis,and secondary hazard risk assessment.

文摘Protein Kinase G(PKG)is an important intracellular signal transduction enzyme,and its activity is modulated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP).PKG plays a pivotal role in various significant physiological processes,including vascular smooth muscle relaxation,myocardial cell function regulation,neuron growth,and synaptic plasticity,et al.In recent years,the role of PKG in diseases has gradually attracted attention,and the abnormalities in its signaling pathway are closely related to the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and neurological diseases.Although PKG has been widely studied,its complex functions in different physiological systems and potential innovative applications still need to be further explored.This article reviews the purification techniques for PKG,discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different extraction methods,summarizes the structure and activation mechanism of each domain of PKG,and analyzes the physiological functions of PKG in organisms,especially the well-established roles in the cardiovascular system,nervous system,and endocrine system.The emerging therapeutic applications of PKG are also reviewed.In addition,the challenges of this field are proposed at the end.

文摘Crystal structure prediction aims to predict stable and easily experimentally synthesized materials,which accelerates the discovery of new materials.It is worth noting that the stability of materials is the basis for ensuring high performance and reliable application of materials.Among which,the thermodynamic and molecular dynamics stability is especially important.Therefore,this paper proposes a method to predict stable crystal structures using formation energy and Lennard-Jones potential as evaluation indicators.Specifically,we use graph neural network models to predict the formation energy of crystals,and employ empirical formulas to calculate the Lennard-Jones potential.Then,we apply Bayesian optimization algorithms to search for crystal structures with low formation energy and Lennard-Jones potential approaching zero,in order to ensure the thermodynamic stability and dynamics stability of materials.In addition,considering the impact of the bonding situation between atoms in the crystal on the structural stability,this article uses contact map to analyze the atomic bonding situation of each crystal to screen out more stable materials.Finally,the experimental results show that the method we proposed can not only reduce the time for crystal structure prediction,but also ensure the stability of crystal materials.

文摘Fe-Mo functionally graded materials(FGMs)with different composition-change rates from 100%304 stainless steel to 100%Mo along the composition gradient direction were prepared by electron beam-directed energy deposition(EB-DED)technique,including three samples with composition mutation of 100%,composition change rate of 10%and 30%.Results show that the composition-change rate significantly affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of the samples.In the sample with abrupt change of composition,the sharp shift in composition between 304 stainless steel and Mo leads to a great difference in the microstructure and hardness near the interface between the two materials.With the increase in the number of gradient layers,the composition changes continuously along the direction of deposition height,and the microstructure morphology shows a smooth transition from 304 stainless steel to Mo,which is gradually transformed from columnar crystal to dendritic crystal.Elements Fe,Mo,and other major elements transform linearly along the gradient direction,with sufficient interlayer diffusion between the deposited layers,leading to good metallurgical bonding.The smaller the change in composition gradient,the greater the microhardness value along the deposition direction.When the composition gradient is 10%,the gradient layer exhibits higher hardness(940 HV)and excellent resistance to surface abrasion,and the overall compressive properties of the samples are better,with the compressive fracture stress in the top region reaching 750.05±14 MPa.
文摘This review explores multi-directional functionally graded(MDFG)nanostructures,focusing on their material characteristics,modeling approaches,and mechanical behavior.It starts by classifying different types of functionally graded(FG)materials such as conventional,axial,bi-directional,and tri-directional,and the material distribution models like power-law,exponential,trigonometric,polynomial functions,etc.It also discusses the application of advanced size-dependent theories like Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity,nonlocal strain gradient,modified couple stress,and consistent couple stress theories,which are essential to predict the behavior of structures at small scales.The review covers the mechanical analysis of MDFG nanostructures in nanobeams,nanopipes,nanoplates,and nanoshells and their dynamic and static responses under different loading conditions.The effect of multi-directional material gradation on stiffness,stability and vibration is discussed.Moreover,the review highlights the need for more advanced analytical,semi-analytical,and numerical methods to solve the complex vibration problems ofMDFG nanostructures.It is evident that the continued development of these methods is crucial for the design,optimization,and real-world application of MDFG nanostructures in advanced engineering fields like aerospace,biomedicine,and micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(MEMS/NEMS).This study is a reference for researchers and engineers working in the domain of MDFG nanostructures.

文摘Magnetically responsive microstructured functional surface(MRMFS),capable of dynamically and reversibly switching the surface topography under magnetic actuation,provides a wireless,noninvasive,and instantaneous way to accurately control the microscale engineered surface.In the last decade,many studies have been conducted to design and optimize MRMFSs for diverse applications,and significant progress has been accomplished.This review comprehensively presents recent advancements and the potential prospects in MRMFSs.We first classify MRMFSs into one-dimensional linear array MRMFSs,two-dimensional planar array MRMFSs,and dynamic self-assembly MRMFSs based on their morphology.Subsequently,an overview of three deformation mechanisms,including magnetically actuated bending deformation,magnetically driven rotational deformation,and magnetically induced self-assembly deformation,are provided.Four main fabrication strategies employed to create MRMFSs are summarized,including replica molding,magnetization-induced self-assembly,laser cutting,and ferrofluid-infused method.Furthermore,the applications of MRMFS in droplet manipulation,solid transport,information encryption,light manipulation,triboelectric nanogenerators,and soft robotics are presented.Finally,the challenges that limit the practical applications of MRMFSs are discussed,and the future development of MRMFSs is proposed.

文摘Manure slurry application to farmland reduces chemical fertilizer use,mitigates pollution,and improves soil fertility.However,researches on the role of anaerobically treated cow slurry applied to soil microorganisms in Northeast China remain underexplored.Here,in laboratory incubation experiments,different treatments including various combinations of sterilized and non-sterilized soil and slurry,and different application rates were employed to examine the effects of indigenous microorganisms on soil microbial communities.Field-collected soil samples were employed to examine the responses and spatial variations of soil microbes under production conditions.The results indicated that indigenous soil microorganisms exerted a dominant influence in the microbial community variations,while the impact of cow slurry microbiota on community diversity was relatively minor.At the phylum level,Proteobacteria(P=0.031,R=0.969)showed a significant positive correlation with the slurry application,whereas Acidobacteriota(P=0.012,R=–0.988)and Basidiomycota(P=0.01,R=–0.99)showed significant negative correlations.In the field environment,the autumn slurry application effects on soil microbes in the following year were not significant.In contrast,under spring slurry application,the cow slurry-soil agglomerations led to significant spatial differences in soil microbial communities,with higher microbial diversity observed in the vicinity of agglomerations.The microbes in agglomerations,such as Actinomycetes,Bacteroides and Proteobacteria,were found to be beneficial for the crop residue decomposition.These microorganisms could decompose organic compounds including lignin,cellulose,hemicellulose,and xylan in crop straw.Overall,slurry application indeed influenced soil microbes and induced spatial variations,providing insights for sustainable agricultural practices.
