The results showed that 3DUS could provide more diagnostic information, exclude the abnormalities and enhance the confidence level of physician in 102 normal pregnant women. 3DUS was helpful in the diagnosis in 17 (60.7 %) of 28 cases of fetal anomalies. However, 3DUS was not useful in evaluating intrauterine growth retardation in 4 cases. It is conclucded that 3DUS is helpful in prenatal diagnosis.展开更多

of liver tumors.RESULTS All patients(8/8,100%)underwent the operation successfully without any complications.During the mean follow-up of 8.7 months,all patients survived without tumor

evaluate the value of the three-dimensional location approach with silk thread(3D-LAST)in precise resection of liver tumors.Eight patients with liver tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma,intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and gastric cancer liver metastasis underwent the operation successfully without any complications.During the mean follow-up of 8.7 months,all patients survived without tumor recurrence.In conclusion,the 3D-LAST is a safe and effective new method for liver intraoperative navigation,which is practical and easy to promote.INTRODUCTION Hepatectomy is widely used for the treatment of liver tumors.In recent decades,the concept and practice of hepatectomy have developed from irregular,regular and anatomical to the current precise resection.Necessary assistive technologies have enabled these advances.Intraoperative ultrasound(IOUS)localization and indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging guidance are two frequently-used approaches for laparoscopic hepatectomy[1,2].IOUS is an invaluable auxiliary means widely accepted in surgery for real-time diagnostic information to determine resection range and navigate the surgical path[3].However,the major limitation of IOUS is the time cost during the procedure for paging the sono-graphers and the difficulty of deciphering two dimensional images[4].ICG is a non-toxic water-soluble fluorophore that reveals fluorescence under the near-infrared spectrum[5].Since liver tissue penetration is limited to 5 to 10 mm,that restricted the visualization of deeper tumors by ICG excitation,thereby interfering with its application in laparoscopic hepatectomy[6].IOUS and ICG navigation require specific technical equipment,making implementation difficult in many centers.And these techniques will significantly increase the operation time.Three-dimensional(3D)visualization involves extracting features and producing volumetric images based on computed tomography(CT)through a computer postprocessing technique.This tool offers a reasonable approach to the clinical decision for the potential to display the complex internal anatomy in an intuitive and stereoscopic manner[7].In the past few decades,applying 3D simulation software for liver volume calculation,virtual simulation surgery,portal hypertension monitor,and surgical navigation has proven to be safe and effective[8].Therefore,we propose a new method to find obvious anatomical markers and calculate the resection range according to 3D positioning before operation.During the operation,the scope of resection was delineated with silk thread,and resection was performed.This is a new practical approach,which we named as 3D location approach with silk thread(3D-LAST).RESULTS During the study period from September 2020 to January 2022,5 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,1 patient with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma,1 patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma,and 1 patient with gastric cancer liver metastasis were assessed for liver resection.There were 5 males and 3 females.The mean age of these patients was 54.3±10.2 years(34-66 years).Preoperative 3D positioning was conducted and the scope of resection was delineated with a surgical suture successfully performed in all 8 patients without complications.The treatment results of these 8 patients are shown in Table 1.The 90-day operative mortality was zero.Complications worse than Dindo-Clavien IIIa was not observed at a mean follow-up time of 8.7 months(4-16 months),there was no evidence of tumor recurrence or extrahepatic metastasis.At the time of reporting,the patients are all alive and lead normal lives.We take one patient as an example,58-year-old male,who found a liver lesion 10 months after gastric cancer surgery.Enhanced CT showed that the lesion was located in the liver S5,about 1.5 cm in diameter,and considered metastatic lesions.We performed 3D-LAST guided hepatectomy on this patient(Figure 1).Other representative 3D-LAST surgical procedures are shown in Figure 2.展开更多

The nanocomposite was obtained by using an ordered two-dimensional（2D） hexagonal mesoporous anatase 70 TiO2-30 SiO2-950 nanocomposite（crystallized at 950 °C for 2 h） as a precursor, NaO H as an etchant of SiO2 via a ＂creating mesopores in the pore walls＂ approach. Our strategy adopts mild conditions of creating pores such as diluted NaO H solution, appropriate temperature and solid/liquid ratio, etc. aiming at ensuring the integrities of mesopores architecture and anatase nanocrystals. XRD, TEM and N2 sorption techniques have been used to systematically investigate the physico-chemical properties of the nanocomposites. The results show that the intrawall mesopores are highly dense and uniform（average pore size 3.6 nm）, and highly link the initial mesochannels in a 3D manner while retaining mesostructural integrity. There is no significant change to either crystallinity or size of the anatase nanocrystals before and after creating the intrawall mesopores. The photocatalytic degradation rates of rhodamine B（RhB, 0.303 min^–1） and methylene blue（MB, 0.757 min^–1） dyes on the resultant nanocomposite are very high, which are 5.1 and 5.3 times that of the precursor; even up to 16.5 and 24.1 times that of Degussa P25 photocatalyst, respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that the 3D interconnected mesopores structure plays an overwhelming role to the increments of activities. The 3D mesoporous anatase TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite exhibits unexpected-high degradation activities to RhB and MB in the mesoporous metal oxide-based materials reported so far. Additionally, the nanocomposite is considerably stable and reusable. We believe that this method would pave the way for the preparation of other 3D highly interconnected mesoporous metal oxide-based materials with ultra-high performance.展开更多

Cu(Ⅱ) is five coordinated in a tetragonal pyramid geometry. The two coordinating water molecules are different and the two Cu-O bond lengths differ by nearly 0.02 nm. The whole crystal is linked to form a three dimensional network by means of hydrogen bonds. The X band ESR spectrum shows three different g tensors with a well resolved hyperfine structure in the g z signal, giving the ESR parameters g x=2 05, g y =2 065 and g z =2 29. The covalency of the coordinate bonds and the deviation from tetragonal pyramid geometry for the complex are discussed based on the ESR spectra.展开更多

The results showed that surface mode could vividly demonstrate the surface morphologic features of the fetuses, as well as the stereo shape and the spatial relationship among the surface structures. The face, limbs, umbilical cord and outer genitalia of the fetus could be well displayed by surface mode. Transparent mode could reveal the bony structures under the surface, such as ribs, vertebrae, crania, etc. The result was not affected by the sophisticated curvature of these bony structures and the success rate was up to 100 %. When rendered by multiplanar mode, the region of interest (ROI) could be viewed from different directions. It should be concluded that 3DUS could serve as a supplement to two dimensional ultrasonography (2DUS). 3DUS might play an important role in prenatal diagnosis and enhance the diagnostic confidence level of the physicians.展开更多

The common fluorescence characteristic is that the main peaks of various fossil fuels are located in the vicinity of excitation/emission wavelength pair 228nm/340nm.The diversity of fluorescence characteristics can be represented with several indexes α,K,F and R ,and these indexes provide measurable parameters for division of fluorescence fingerprints of fossil fuels. The fluorescence fingerprints of fossil fuels can be divided into five models named O,B,Q,P and G that are corresponding to condensate oil, light oil, heavy oil, coal and natural gas, respectively. The technique has a potential application in study of environment pollution on crude oil and geochemical exploration of fossil fuels.展开更多

Using different optical setups, phase-shift methods, and algorithms, several different 3D electronic speckle pattern interferometry（ESPl） systems for displacement and strain measurements have been achieved and commercialized. This paper provides a review of the recent developments in ESPI systems for 3D displacement and strain measurement. After an overview of the fundamentals of ESP! theory, temporal phase-shift, and spatial phase-shift techniques, 3D deformation measurements by the temporal phase-shift ESPI system, which is suited well for static measurement, and by the spatial phase-shift ESPI system, which is particularly useful for dynamic measurement, are discussed. For each method, the basic theory, a brief derivation and different optical layouts are presented. The state of art application, potential and limitation of the ESPI systems are shown and demonstrated.展开更多

The σ-transformation was introduced in the vertical plane to achieve the same lattices in the whole domain of interest. The mode-splitting technique can be used to split the three-dimensional governing equations into the surface gravity waves (external mode) and the internal gravity waves (internal mode). And the external mode was solved by the improved double-sweep-implicit (DSI) finite difference method and the internal mode was solved by the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The Eulerian-Lagrangian method can not only reduce the numerical diffusion but also increase the computational accuracy through the improvement of the finite difference scheme in the vertical direction. The application of the model to the Yangtze River Estuary was carried out for the calculation of the saltwater intrusion and the null point. Results of the temporal and spatial distribution of the flow velocity and the salinity coincide with the measured data quite well. The formation and location of the underwater sandbars in the North Channel of the Yangtze River Estuary are closely related to the local salinity, the null point, the predominant current and the residual flow.展开更多

The standard mesh of a three-dimensional soil column was suggested to be satisfied with the specified maximum frequency. The layered soil column was divided into multiple sub-soils with a different viscous damping matrix according to the shear velocities as the soil properties were significantly different. It was necessary to use a combination of other one-dimensional or three-dimensional nonlinear seismic ground analysis programs to confirm the applicability of nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures in soft soil or for strong earthquakes. The accuracy of the three-dimensional soil column finite element method was verified by dynamic centrifuge model testing under different peak accelerations of the earthquake. As a result, nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures were improved in this study. The accuracy and efficiency of the three-dimensional seismic ground response analysis can be adapted to the requirements of engineering practice.展开更多

This model shows a promising capability of explaining various fatigue phenomena. The new crack growth model is further completed by a continuous empirical formula for estimating the value of variable fracture toughness during crack propagation and a modified continuous equation for the crack tip stress/strain constraint factor used to calculate the stress intensity factor at the opening level. The prediction results are proved to agree well with the observed phenomena in test.展开更多

The results show that the maximum electromagnetic flux density is found in front of slit; the electromagnetic flux density becomes large as the coil current and slit number increase. In a certain frequency range, the electromagnetic flux density increases with the increase of frequency and the frequency range is different with the change of azimuthal position along the inner wall of mold. The uniformity of electromagnetic field is influenced mainly by frequency and mold structure parameters. Increasing slit number and adjusting slit arrangement position can improve the electromagnetic flux density and the uniformity of electromagnetic field. For a soft-contact mold with 16 slits, when frequency is 20 kHz, the optimal slit arrangement parameter is a:b=1:2, c=0.展开更多

The traditional oil-water separation methods not only cause easily environmental secondary pollution but also a waste of limited resources. Therefore, in this work, three-dimensional (3D) graphitic carbon sphere (GCS) foams (collectively referred hereafter as 3D foams) with a 3D porous structure, pore size distribution of 25-200 μm, and high porosity of 62vol% were prepared for oil adsorption via gel casting using GCS as the starting materials. The results indicate that the water contact angle (WCA) of the as-prepared 3D foams is 130°. The contents of GCS greatly influenced the hydrophobicity, WCA, and microstructure of the as-prepared samples. The adsorption capacities of the as-prepared 3D foams for paraffin oil, vegetable oil, and vacuum pump oil were approximately 12-15 g/g, which were 10 times that of GCS powder. The as-prepared foams are desirable characteristics of a good sorbent and could be widely used in oil spill accidents.展开更多

Aiming at increasing applications of full three dimensional digital terrain surface modeling, a new algorithm for the automatic generation of three dimensional triangulated irregular network from a point cloud is pro- posed. Based on the local topological consistency test, a combined algorithm of constrained 3D Delaunay triangulation and region-growing is extended to ensure topologically correct reconstruction. This paper also introduced an efficient neighbor- ing triangle location method by making full use of the surface normal information. Experimental results prove that this algo- rithm can efficiently obtain the most reasonable reconstructed mesh surface with arbitrary topology, wherein the automati- cally reconstructed surface has only small topological difference from the true surface. This algorithm has potential applica- tions to virtual environments, computer vision, and so on.展开更多

When rendered by multiplanar mode, the region of interest (ROI) could be viewed from different directions. It should be concluded that 3DUS could serve as a supplement to two dimensional ultrasonography (2DUS). 3DUS might play an important role in prenatal diagnosis and enhance the diagnostic confidence level of the physicians.
文摘We have found some fluorescence characteristics of fossil fuels based on the contour maps of the three dimensional fluorescence spectra of their non quenching samples. The common fluorescence characteristic is that the main peaks of various fossil fuels are located in the vicinity of excitation/emission wavelength pair 228nm/340nm.The diversity of fluorescence characteristics can be represented with several indexes α,K,F and R ,and these indexes provide measurable parameters for division of fluorescence fingerprints of fossil fuels. The fluorescence fingerprints of fossil fuels can be divided into five models named O,B,Q,P and G that are corresponding to condensate oil, light oil, heavy oil, coal and natural gas, respectively. The technique has a potential application in study of environment pollution on crude oil and geochemical exploration of fossil fuels.

文摘Three dimensional（3D） displacements, which can be translated further into 3D strain, are key parameters tor design, manufacturing and quality control. Using different optical setups, phase-shift methods, and algorithms, several different 3D electronic speckle pattern interferometry（ESPl） systems for displacement and strain measurements have been achieved and commercialized. This paper provides a review of the recent developments in ESPI systems for 3D displacement and strain measurement. After an overview of the fundamentals of ESP! theory, temporal phase-shift, and spatial phase-shift techniques, 3D deformation measurements by the temporal phase-shift ESPI system, which is suited well for static measurement, and by the spatial phase-shift ESPI system, which is particularly useful for dynamic measurement, are discussed. For each method, the basic theory, a brief derivation and different optical layouts are presented. The state of art application, potential and limitation of the ESPI systems are shown and demonstrated.
文摘A three-dimensional nonlinear numerical model with inclined pressure was developed to compute the saltwater intrusion at the Yangtze River Estuary. The σ-transformation was introduced in the vertical plane to achieve the same lattices in the whole domain of interest. The mode-splitting technique can be used to split the three-dimensional governing equations into the surface gravity waves (external mode) and the internal gravity waves (internal mode). And the external mode was solved by the improved double-sweep-implicit (DSI) finite difference method and the internal mode was solved by the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The Eulerian-Lagrangian method can not only reduce the numerical diffusion but also increase the computational accuracy through the improvement of the finite difference scheme in the vertical direction. The application of the model to the Yangtze River Estuary was carried out for the calculation of the saltwater intrusion and the null point. Results of the temporal and spatial distribution of the flow velocity and the salinity coincide with the measured data quite well. The formation and location of the underwater sandbars in the North Channel of the Yangtze River Estuary are closely related to the local salinity, the null point, the predominant current and the residual flow.

文摘To provide appropriate uses of nonlinear ground response analysis for engineering practice, a three-dimensional soil column with a distributed mass system and a time domain numerical analysis were implemented on the Open Sees simulation platform. The standard mesh of a three-dimensional soil column was suggested to be satisfied with the specified maximum frequency. The layered soil column was divided into multiple sub-soils with a different viscous damping matrix according to the shear velocities as the soil properties were significantly different. It was necessary to use a combination of other one-dimensional or three-dimensional nonlinear seismic ground analysis programs to confirm the applicability of nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures in soft soil or for strong earthquakes. The accuracy of the three-dimensional soil column finite element method was verified by dynamic centrifuge model testing under different peak accelerations of the earthquake. As a result, nonlinear seismic ground motion response analysis procedures were improved in this study. The accuracy and efficiency of the three-dimensional seismic ground response analysis can be adapted to the requirements of engineering practice.

文摘A new model for the analysis of fatigue crack growth in the metal structures was proposed. This model shows a promising capability of explaining various fatigue phenomena. The new crack growth model is further completed by a continuous empirical formula for estimating the value of variable fracture toughness during crack propagation and a modified continuous equation for the crack tip stress/strain constraint factor used to calculate the stress intensity factor at the opening level. The prediction results are proved to agree well with the observed phenomena in test.

文摘The three-dimensional electromagnetic characteristics and non-uniform distribution of electromagnetic field in soft-contact continuous casting mold have been analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that the maximum electromagnetic flux density is found in front of slit; the electromagnetic flux density becomes large as the coil current and slit number increase. In a certain frequency range, the electromagnetic flux density increases with the increase of frequency and the frequency range is different with the change of azimuthal position along the inner wall of mold. The uniformity of electromagnetic field is influenced mainly by frequency and mold structure parameters. Increasing slit number and adjusting slit arrangement position can improve the electromagnetic flux density and the uniformity of electromagnetic field. For a soft-contact mold with 16 slits, when frequency is 20 kHz, the optimal slit arrangement parameter is a:b=1:2, c=0.

文摘Frequent offshore oil spill accidents, industrial oily sewage, and the indiscriminate disposal of urban oily sewage have caused seri- ous impacts on the human living environment and health. The traditional oil-water separation methods not only cause easily environmental secondary pollution but also a waste of limited resources. Therefore, in this work, three-dimensional (3D) graphitic carbon sphere (GCS) foams (collectively referred hereafter as 3D foams) with a 3D porous structure, pore size distribution of 25-200 μm, and high porosity of 62vol% were prepared for oil adsorption via gel casting using GCS as the starting materials. The results indicate that the water contact angle (WCA) of the as-prepared 3D foams is 130°. The contents of GCS greatly influenced the hydrophobicity, WCA, and microstructure of the as-prepared samples. The adsorption capacities of the as-prepared 3D foams for paraffin oil, vegetable oil, and vacuum pump oil were approximately 12-15 g/g, which were 10 times that of GCS powder. The as-prepared foams are desirable characteristics of a good sorbent and could be widely used in oil spill accidents.

文摘The problem of taking an unorganized point cloud in 3D space and fitting a polyhedral surface to those points is both important and difficult. Aiming at increasing applications of full three dimensional digital terrain surface modeling, a new algorithm for the automatic generation of three dimensional triangulated irregular network from a point cloud is pro- posed. Based on the local topological consistency test, a combined algorithm of constrained 3D Delaunay triangulation and region-growing is extended to ensure topologically correct reconstruction. This paper also introduced an efficient neighbor- ing triangle location method by making full use of the surface normal information. Experimental results prove that this algo- rithm can efficiently obtain the most reasonable reconstructed mesh surface with arbitrary topology, wherein the automati- cally reconstructed surface has only small topological difference from the true surface. This algorithm has potential applica- tions to virtual environments, computer vision, and so on.
