This article presents strategies for improving the efficiency of patient transfers, particularly in hospitals where intensive care units are located in buildings separate from general wards. Patient transfers comprise several steps: physicians issue orders, relatives are notified, equipment is prepared, and medical staff coordinate. We identified three factors that influence transfer time: preparation time for bed transfer, time required for shift handovers, and time required for between-ward patient movement. Unfamiliarity with transfer routes and long elevator wait times were factors that also influenced transfer time. The following strategies were proposed: develop a standardized material checklist, design key notes for patient transfers, and optimize transfer routes. These strategies reduced transfer times by 40% to 43%. This study demonstrates that by addressing logistical challenges and streamlining relevant procedures, hospitals can enhance safety and quality of care during patient transfers.展开更多

These processes have been studied by many researchers, but all the studies are so far on the water transfer characteristics outside porous media and the water transfer characteristics inside porous media have been little known. In this study, in order to study the water transfer characteristics inside porous media during methane hydrate formation and dissociation processes, a novel apparatus with three pF-meter sensors which can detect water content changes inside porous media was applied. It was experimentally observed that methane hydrate formation processes were accompanied by water transfer from bottom to top inside porous media, however, the water behavior during hydrate dissociation processes was abnormal, for which more studies are needed to find out the real reason in our future work.展开更多

Multiple runs of the commercial casting simulation package, ProCASTTM, were used to model the mold filling and solidification events employing a range of interfacial heat transfer coefficient values. The simulation results were used to estimate the centerline cooling curve at various locations through the casting. The centerline cooling curves, together with the die temperature and the thermodynamic properties of the alloy, were then used as inputs to compute the solution to the Stefan problem of a moving phase boundary, thereby providing the through-thickness cooling curves at each chosen location of the casting, Finally, the local cooling rate was used to calculate the resulting grain size via previously established relationships. The effects of die temperature, filling time and heat transfer coefficient on the grain structure in skin region and core region were quantitatively characterized. It was observed that the grain size of skin region strongly depends on above three factors whereas the grain size of core region shows dependence on the interracial heat transfer coefficient and thickness of the samples. The grain size distribution from surface to center was estimated from the relationship between grain size and the predicted cooling rate. The prediction of grain size matches well with experimental results. A comparison of the predicted and experimentally determined grain size profiles enables the determination of the apparent interracial heat transfer coefficient for different locations.展开更多

A model for intra-firm horizontal knowledge transfer is proposed to model horizontal knowledge transfer to solve some demerits in current knowledge transfer researches. The concept model of intra-firm horizontal knowledge transfer was described and a framework was provided to define the main components of the transfer process. Horizontal knowledge transfer is that knowledge is transferred from the source to the same hierarchical level recipients as the target. Horizontal knowledge transfer constitutes a strategic area of knowledge management research. However, little is known about the circumstances under which one particular mechanism is the most appropriate. To address these issues, some significant conclusions are drawn concerning knowledge transfer mechanisms in a real-world setting.展开更多

Microstructures, phase composition and wear property of the coating were investigated. The results showed that the composite coating consisted mainly of T-Ni, TiC, Cr23C6, Cr7C3, Ni3Si, CrB, Cr5B3 and FeNi3 phases, and was characterized by fine TiC panicles embedded in Ni matrix. The wear resistance of composite coating was significantly improved compared with that of the steel substrate. The wear volume loss of the substrate was 443 mm3, which was about 9 times as that of in-situ TiC particles reinforced composite coating （49 mm3 ）. It is mainly attributed to the presence of chromium carbide particles and in-situ TiC particles and their favorable combination with Ni matrix.展开更多

The results showed that seen from the spatial and temporal distribution,the seasonal variation of PHC content in the surface water of Jiaozhou Bay was based on the flow of the rivers as well as human activity,so PHC content in the rivers depended on the flow of the rivers and human activity,and the peaks and valleys of PHC content appeared in various seasons. The seasonal variation of PHC content in the surface water of Jiaozhou Bay depended on its land transfer process. The land transfer process was composed of use of PHC by mankind,deposition of PHC in soil and on the earth＇s surface,and transportation of PHC to offshore waters of sea by rivers and surface runoff. PHC content depended on mankind during the process from being used to entering soil and on precipitation during the process of being transported from soil to ocean.展开更多

文摘Although different NbO_(x) units are present in Nb_(2)O_(5)‐based catalysts,the correlations between these structures and activity remain unclear,which considerably hinders the further development of Nb_(2)O_(5) photocatalysis.Herein,we utilized N‐hydroxyphthalimide(NHPI)as the probe molecule to distinguish the role of different NbO_(x) units in the activation of C–H bond under visible light irradia‐tion.With the addition of NHPI,Nb_(2)O_(5) catalysts with highly disordered NbO_(6) units exhibited higher activities than that with slightly disordered NbO_(6) units(419‒495 vs.82μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1))in photocata‐lytic selective oxidation of ethylbenzene.Revealed by Raman spectra,electron paramagnetic reso‐nance spectra,and transmission‐electron‐microscopy images,highly disordered NbO_(6) units were confirmed to act as the active sites for the transfer of photogenerated electrons from NHPI,pro‐moting the generation of phthalimide‐N‐oxyl(PINO)radicals for the enhanced conversion of ethylbenzene under visible light irradiation.This study provides guidance on the role of local NbO_(x) units in Nb_(2)O_(5) photocatalysis.

文摘Nonylphenol(NP)residues,as a typical endocrine disrupting chemical(EDC),frequently exist in sewage,surface water,groundwater and even drinking water,which poses a serious threat to human health due to its bioaccumulation.In order to remove NP,a series of MIL-100(Fe)/Zn Fe_(2)O_(4)/flake-like porous carbon nitride(MIL/ZC)was synthesized through in-situ synthesis at room temperature.High performance of ternary MIL/ZC is used to degrade NP under visible light irradiation.The results show that 30MIL/ZC2(20 wt.%Zn Fe_(2)O_(4))ternary composite had the best photocatalytic activity(99.84%)when the dosage was 30 mg.Further mechanism analysis shows that the excellent photocatalytic activity of 30MIL/ZC2could be ascribed to the double charge transfer process between flake-like porous carbon nitride(PCN)and other catalysts in the ternary heterojunction,and the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs was more effective.In addition,the 30MIL/ZC2 also showed high stability after five cycles of the photodegradation reaction.Furthermore,the active substance(·O_(2)^(-))was considered to be the main active substance in the NP degradation process.Based on the research results,the possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism of 30MIL/ZC2ternary composite was proposed and discussed in detail.

文摘The objective of this study is to predict grain size and heat transfer coefficient at the metal-die interface during high pressure die casting process and solidification of the magnesium alloy AM60. Multiple runs of the commercial casting simulation package, ProCASTTM, were used to model the mold filling and solidification events employing a range of interfacial heat transfer coefficient values. The simulation results were used to estimate the centerline cooling curve at various locations through the casting. The centerline cooling curves, together with the die temperature and the thermodynamic properties of the alloy, were then used as inputs to compute the solution to the Stefan problem of a moving phase boundary, thereby providing the through-thickness cooling curves at each chosen location of the casting, Finally, the local cooling rate was used to calculate the resulting grain size via previously established relationships. The effects of die temperature, filling time and heat transfer coefficient on the grain structure in skin region and core region were quantitatively characterized. It was observed that the grain size of skin region strongly depends on above three factors whereas the grain size of core region shows dependence on the interracial heat transfer coefficient and thickness of the samples. The grain size distribution from surface to center was estimated from the relationship between grain size and the predicted cooling rate. The prediction of grain size matches well with experimental results. A comparison of the predicted and experimentally determined grain size profiles enables the determination of the apparent interracial heat transfer coefficient for different locations.

文摘A pioneering glass-compatible transparent temperature alarm system self-powered by luminescent solar concentrators(LSCs) is reported.Single green-emitted organic manganese halides(OMHs) of PEA_(2)MnBr_(2)I_(2),which has a unique temperature-dependent backward energy transfer process from selftrapped state to^(4)T_(1)energy level of Mn,is used for triggering the temperature alarm.The LSC with redemitted CsPbI_(3)perovskite-polymer composite films on the glass substrate is used for power supply.The spectrally separated nature between the green-emitted OMHs for temperature alarm and red-emitted CsPbI3in LSC for power supply allows for probing the signal light of temperature-responsive OMHs without the interference of LSCs,making it possible to calibrate the temperature visually just by a self-powered brightness detection circuit with LED indicators.Taking advantage of LSC without hot spot effects plaguing the solar cells,as-prepared temperature alarm system can operate well on both sunny and cloudy day.
文摘Knowledge transfer is widely emphasized as a strategic issue for firm competition. A model for intra-firm horizontal knowledge transfer is proposed to model horizontal knowledge transfer to solve some demerits in current knowledge transfer researches. The concept model of intra-firm horizontal knowledge transfer was described and a framework was provided to define the main components of the transfer process. Horizontal knowledge transfer is that knowledge is transferred from the source to the same hierarchical level recipients as the target. Horizontal knowledge transfer constitutes a strategic area of knowledge management research. However, little is known about the circumstances under which one particular mechanism is the most appropriate. To address these issues, some significant conclusions are drawn concerning knowledge transfer mechanisms in a real-world setting.

Experimental results show good agreement with the theoretical results.
文摘In this work, the in-situ TiC panicles reinforced composite coating was prepared by plasma transferred arc process on the surface of Q235 steel. Microstructures, phase composition and wear property of the coating were investigated. The results showed that the composite coating consisted mainly of T-Ni, TiC, Cr23C6, Cr7C3, Ni3Si, CrB, Cr5B3 and FeNi3 phases, and was characterized by fine TiC panicles embedded in Ni matrix. The wear resistance of composite coating was significantly improved compared with that of the steel substrate. The wear volume loss of the substrate was 443 mm3, which was about 9 times as that of in-situ TiC particles reinforced composite coating （49 mm3 ）. It is mainly attributed to the presence of chromium carbide particles and in-situ TiC particles and their favorable combination with Ni matrix.
文摘Based on investigation data of PHC content in Jiaozhou Bay,China from 1979 to 1983,the seasonal variations of PHC content and monthly changes of precipitation in Jiaozhou Bay were analyzed. The results showed that seen from the spatial and temporal distribution,the seasonal variation of PHC content in the surface water of Jiaozhou Bay was based on the flow of the rivers as well as human activity,so PHC content in the rivers depended on the flow of the rivers and human activity,and the peaks and valleys of PHC content appeared in various seasons. The seasonal variation of PHC content in the surface water of Jiaozhou Bay depended on its land transfer process. The land transfer process was composed of use of PHC by mankind,deposition of PHC in soil and on the earth＇s surface,and transportation of PHC to offshore waters of sea by rivers and surface runoff. PHC content depended on mankind during the process from being used to entering soil and on precipitation during the process of being transported from soil to ocean.

文摘Herein,a diatomite biomorphic Si-O doped carbon-based catalyst(DB-SiOC)was prepared using natura mineral diatomite as the silicon source and porous template.The results showed that the metal-free DB SiOC catalyst exhibited ultrafast oxidation towards chlorophenol(CP)via peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activa tion,which was almost one order of magnitudes than most of carbon-based catalysts.The DB-SiOC/PMS system also showed the high ability to resist the interference of environmental matrix.The radicals(^(·)OH and SO_(4)^(·–))exhibited a very small contribution to the CP oxidation while the electron transfer processe(ETP)played the major role in the DB-SiOC/PMS system.The electron shuttles from the electron-donating CP molecules to the adjacent DB-SiOC/PMS^(*)could be efficiently triggered via Si-O bonds as bridges,mak ing it possible for ultrafast oxidation of CP.In addition,the hollow-disc shaped DB-Si OC provided the biomorphic DE structures with abundant pores for enriching the PMS and pollutants,thus further ac celerating the oxidation reaction.This work provided a new routine for the fabrication of Si-O doped carbon-based catalysts with excellent Fenton-like catalytic activity,which would greatly promote thei application prospects in Fenton-like systems.

文摘Nitrogen-doped carbon(N-C)materials have demonstrated exceptional performances in activating peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for environmental remediation.However,accommodating higher nitrogen contents remains challenging in N-C due to the thermodynamic instability of C-N skeleton.In this study,we proposed an innovative epitaxial growth approach to synthesize two-dimensional N-C nanosheets.Leveraging the abundant amino groups supplied by the polymer dots as growing sites,we successfully attained a high nitrogen level and spontaneously introduced abundant structural defects in the carbon framework.The resulting N-C nanosheets exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the activation of PMS toward selective oxidation of diethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate(1,4-DHP)into diethyl2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate,which serves as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds.Comprehensive experimental and characterization investigations verified that the nitrogen sites and defects are the primary active sites for PMS activation and selective oxidation of 1,4-DHP.This work offered an efficient approach for the fabrication of high-nitrogen-loading carbon materials for catalytic oxidation reactions.

文摘The spectroscopic properties of a series of Dy^(3+)single-doped and Dy^(3+)/Nd^(3+),Dy^(3+)/Tb^(3+),and Dy^(3+)/Tm^(3+)co-doped YAlO_(3)(yttrium aluminum perovskite,YAP)phosphors were investigated and compared through the measurements of optical absorption,emission spectra,and fluorescence decay curves.For the Dy^(3+)ion single-doped samples,the intensity of each absorption band increases with an increment in Dy^(3+)ion doping concentration,and the identified strong absorption peak at 447 nm indicates that Dy^(3+):YAP phosphors are suitable to be pumped by a blue laser diode(LD).For all co-doped samples,absorption peaks of Dy^(3+)ion along with some of the absorption bands of Nd^(3+),Tb^(3+),and Tm^(3+)ions are observed.Under 351 and 447 nm excitation,a prominent emission peak at 572 nm was obtained in all the samples,corresponding to Dy^(3+):^(4)F_(9/2)→^(6)H_(13/2)transition.Here,2 at%Dy^(3+):YAP phosphor exhibits the highest yellow emission intensity under 447 nm pumping.Among the three kinds of Dy^(3+)co-doped phosphors,Dy^(3+)/Tb^(3+):YAP phosphor possesses the dominant yellow emission.The fluorescence decay curves show exponential behaviour and are fitted well.The Commission International de L’Eclairage(CIE)chromaticity coordinates were calculated following the respective emission spectra,and it is found that all the coordinates locate in the yellow region.The energy transfer(ET)processes were investigated and the concentration quenching mechanism was discussed.The obtained results suggest that Dy^(3+)-activated YAP phosphors are good candidates for yellow LED applications.

文摘A T-Q diagram based on entransy theory is applied to graphically and quantitatively describe the irreversibility of the heat transfer processes.The hot and cold composite curves can be obtained in the T-Q diagram.The entransy recovery and entransy dissipation that are affected by temperature differences can be obtained through the shaded area under the composite curves.The method for setting the energy target of the HENs in T-Q diagram based on entransy theory is proposed.A case study of the diesel oil hydrogenation unit is used to illustrate the application of the method.The results show that three different heat transfer temperature differences is 10 K,15 K and 20 K,and the entransy recovery is 5.498×10~7k W·K,5.377×10~7k W·K,5.257×10~7k W·K,respectively.And the entransy transfer efficiency is 92.29%,91.63%,90.99%.Thus,the energy-saving potential of the HENs is obtained by setting the energy target based on the entransy transfer efficiency.
