文摘BACKGROUND:Hemiplegia,a prevalent stroke-related condition,is often studied for motor dysfunction;however,spasticity remains under-researched.Abnormal muscle tone significantly hinders hemiplegic patients’walking recovery.OBJECTIVE:To determine whether early suspension-protected training with a personal assistant machine for stroke patients enhances walking ability and prevents muscle spasms.METHODS:Thirty-two early-stage stroke patients from Shenzhen University General Hospital and the China Rehabilitation Research Center were randomly assigned to the experimental group(n=16)and the control group(n=16).Both groups underwent 4 weeks of gait training under the suspension protection system for 30 minutes daily,5 days a week.The experimental group used the personal assistant machine during training.Three-dimensional gait analysis(using the Cortex motion capture system),Brunnstrom staging,Fugl-Meyer Assessment for lower limb motor function,Fugl-Meyer balance function,and the modified Ashworth Scale were evaluated within 1 week before the intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the 4-week intervention,all outcome measures showed significant changes in each group.The experimental group had a small but significant increase in the modified Ashworth Scale score(P<0.05,d=|0.15|),while the control group had a large significant increase(P<0.05,d=|1.48|).The experimental group demonstrated greater improvements in walking speed(16.5 to 38.44 cm/s,P<0.05,d=|4.01|),step frequency(46.44 to 64.94 steps/min,P<0.05,d=|2.32|),stride length(15.50 to 29.81 cm,P<0.05,d=|3.44|),and peak hip and knee flexion(d=|1.82|to|2.17|).After treatment,the experimental group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in walking speed(38.44 vs.26.63 cm/s,P<0.05,d=|2.75|),stride length,peak hip and knee flexion(d=|1.31|to|1.45|),step frequency(64.94 vs.59.38 steps/min,P<0.05,d=|0.85|),and a reduced support phase(bilateral:24.31%vs.28.38%,P<0.05,d=|0.88|;non-paretic:66.19%vs.70.13%,P<0.05,d=|0.94|).For early hemiplegia,personal assistant machine-assisted gait training under the suspension protection system helps establish a correct gait pattern,prevents muscle spasms,and improves motor function.
文摘The poor electrical conductivity of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)limits their electrocatalytic performance in the oxygen evolution reaction(OER).In this study,a Py@Co-MOF composite material based on pyrene(Py)molecules and{[Co2(BINDI)(DMA)_(2)]·DMA}_(n)(Co-MOF,H4BINDI=N,N'-bis(5-isophthalic acid)naphthalenediimide,DMA=N,N-dimethylacetamide)was synthesized via a one-pot method,leveragingπ-πinteractions between pyrene and Co-MOF to modulate electrical conductivity.Results demonstrate that the Py@Co-MOF catalyst exhibited significantly enhanced OER performance compared to pure Co-MOF or pyrene-based electrodes,achieving an overpotential of 246 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm^(-2) along with excellent stability.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the formation of O*in the second step is the rate-determining step(RDS)during the OER process on Co-MOF,with an energy barrier of 0.85 eV due to the weak adsorption affinity of the OH*intermediate for Co sites.CCDC:2419276.

文摘Spin-density(charge)separation,marked by distinct propagation velocities of spin and density excitations,epitomizes strong correlations,historically confined to one-dimensional(1D)systems.The recent experimental work of Dhar et al(2025 Nature 64253),using a weakly interacting 3D Bose-Einstein condensate of^(133)Cs atoms confined in a 2D optical lattice to realize spin-density separation and demonstrate boson anyonization,motivates a deeper exploration into how dimensionality and interactions govern quantum correlations.In this work,we investigate this in two-component bosonic mixtures with finite-range interactions,probing 1D and 3D dynamics.Using path integral effective field theory within the one-loop approximation,we derive analytical expressions for zero-temperature ground-state energy and quantum depletion,seamlessly recovering contact interaction results in the contact limit.By crafting an effective action for decoupled density and spin modes,we compute dynamic structure factors(DSFs),revealing how finite-range interactions sculpt spin-density separation.A pivotal finding is the dimensionality-driven divergence in DSF peak dynamics:in 1D,peaks ascend to higher frequencies with increasing interaction strength,yielding sharp responses;in 3D,peaks descend to lower frequencies,with broader density wave profiles.These insights highlight dimensionality's critical role in collective excitations and provide a robust theoretical blueprint for probing interaction-driven quantum phenomena via Bragg spectroscopy,paving new pathways for the exploration of dimensionally tuned quantum correlations in ultracold quantum gases.
文摘As an important index to measure the degree of entanglement in quantum systems,concurrence plays an important role in practical research.In this paper,we study the concurrence between two qubits in triangular triple quantum dot structure.Through calculation and simulation,it is found that concurrence is mainly affected by the interdot coupling strength t,Coulomb interactionU,temperature T,and electrode coupling G.Through comparative studies with parallel triple quantum dot structures,we demonstrate that the triangular geometry exhibits significantly enhanced concurrence under identical conditions.In addition,under the condition that concurrence exceeds 0.9,the functional relationship between t and U is obtained through simulation,which provides theoretical support for quantum dot regulation under high entanglement.Finally,we demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a three-qubit quantum gate,using the Toffoli gate as a representative example,under the condition that the triangular triple quantum dot system maintains high entanglement.
文摘In recent years,terbium radioisotopes have been investigated for their potential therapeutic and diagnostic applications in nuclear medicine.This study aimed to investigate the production of ^(152) Tb and ^(155) Tb by alpha-induced reactions in detail,with a specific focus on determining the optimum production parameters and testing existing nuclear models.Given the limited number of experiments conducted on reactions related to terbium isotope production,it is necessary to perform theoretical calculations of cross sections over a wide energy range to gain a detailed understanding of terbium isotope production.To achieve this objective,the cross sections of the ^(151)Eu(α,n)^(154) Tb reactions were calculated up to 60 MeV using the TALYS computer code with 432 different combinations of optical model parameters,level density,and strength function models.The theoretical reaction cross-section results were compared with the experimental results in the literature.The best input parameters were determined using the Threshold Logic Unit method,and these parameters were used in all isotope production calculations.Once the optimal model combination was determined,the total activity production and isotopic fraction of ^(152) Tb and ^(155) Tb isotopes were calculated in detail for beam energies of 17–50 MeV,different irradiation times,and varying ^(151) Eu and ^(153) Eu target thicknesses.
文摘Transition metal oxides(TMOs)are widely explored as electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage owing to their rich redox activity,tunable oxidation states,and high theoretical capacitance.However,conventional synthesis routes often rely on toxic chemicals,high-temperature processing,and energy-intensive steps,limiting their sustainability and large-scale applicability.This review highlights recent progress in green synthesis approaches,particularly plant-mediated,microbial,and agro-waste-derived methods that use environmentally benign reducing and stabilizing agents to produce nanostructured TMOs.These green routes enable controlled morphology,enhanced porosity,and defect-rich architectures,resulting in improved charge storage,rate capability,and cycling stability.A comparative assessment of green-synthesized and conventionally prepared TMOs is provided,along with insights into synthesis mechanisms,advantages,limitations,and performance trends.Green chemistry-based strategies show strong potential for developing high-performance,scalable,and eco-friendly electrode materials for next-generation supercapacitors and batteries.

文摘Density functional theory(DFT)calculations were employed to investigate the adsorption behavior of NH_(3),AsH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4)molecules on both pristine and mono-vacancy phosphorene sheets.The pristine phosphorene surface showsweak physisorption with all the gasmolecules,inducing onlyminor changes in its structural and electronic properties.However,the introduction ofmono-vacancies significantly enhances the interaction strength with NH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4).These variations are attributed to substantial charge redistribution and orbital hybridization in the presence of defects.The defective phosphorene sheet also exhibits enhanced adsorption energies,along with favorable sensitivity and recovery characteristics,highlighting its potential as a promising gas sensor for NH_(3),AsH_(3),PH_(3),CO_(2),and CH_(4)at ambient conditions.

文摘Background:Social media plays an important role in shaping body image and self-perception,particularly among appearance-sensitive groups such as athletes.Although problematic social media use has been linked to body image outcomes through processes such as social comparison,self-presentation,and evaluation sensitivity,these mechanisms remain underexplored among athletes with physical disabilities.This study aimed to examine the associations between social media use,addictive use patterns,and body image perception in this population,with a focus on these underlying psychological mechanisms.Methods:A total of 165 athletes with physical disability participated in this quantitative cross-sectional study.Data were collected through online surveys,including demographic questions,the Athlete Social Media Use Scale(content creation,usage frequency,and social media addiction subdimensions),and the Body Image Scale(negative perception,evaluation sensitivity,positive perception,and body modification).Parametric tests,correlation analyses,and group comparisons were performed to assess relationships between social media behaviors and body image dimensions.Results:Problematic social media use was moderately associated with higher negative body image and lower positive body image among athletes with physical disabilities(r=0.32–0.41,all p<0.001).Regression analysis indicated that overall social media use was a significant predictor of body image perception after controlling for demographic variables(β≈0.45,p<0.001),explaining approximately 19.5%of the variance.Mediation analyses using bootstrapping revealed that these psychological mechanisms partially mediated the relationship between problematic social media use and body image perceptions,with small-to-moderate indirect effects,indicating both statistical and practical significance.Conclusion:The findings indicate that not only general social media use but also addictive and problematic usage patterns are linked to vulnerable aspects of body image among athletes with physical disabilities.Increased exposure to idealized digital representations and upward social comparison processes may heighten sensitivity to external evaluation and undermine positive body perception.These results highlight the need for digital literacy initiatives,psychoeducational interventions,and supportive online environments that promote healthier social media engagement and body image among disabled athletes.
文摘CZTS(Cu_(2)ZnSnS_(4))is a quaternary semiconductor that is environmentally friendly,less expensive.In this paper,we report on the optimization and fabrication of CZTS-based heterojunction nanodevices for bifunctional applications such as solar cells and photodetectors.CZTS thin films were deposited on top of(Molybdenum)Mo-coated glass substrates via RF sputtering at 100 and 200 W.Rapid thermal processing(RTP)was used at 300,400,and 500℃temperatures.Cd S(cadmium sulphide)was deposited on CZTS using a chemical bath deposition system with 3-and 5-min deposition times.Zn O(zinc oxide)and AZO(aluminium doped zinc oxide)layers were deposited using RF(radio frequency)sputtering to create the solar device.XRD confirms the formation of a tetragonal structure with increased crystallinity due to the use of RTP.Raman reveals the characteristic Raman shift peak associated with CZTS at 336 and 335 cm^(-1).The FESEM shows a relationship with RTP temperature.Surface features,including grain size,vary with RTP temperature.The ideality factor is nearly 2,indicating imperfection in the Mo/CZTS interface.Schottky barrier height estimates range from 0.6 to 0.7 e V.Absorbance and transmittance show a predictable fluctuation with RTP temperature.Photovoltaic device was built using the higher crystalline feature of CZTS in conjunction with Cd S deposited at 3 and 5 min.The efficiency of Cd S deposited after 3 and 5 min was 1.15 and 0.97 percent,respectively.Fabricated devices were used for wavelength-dependent photodetection.This work demonstrated self-powered photodetection.
文摘The formation and evolution of binary stars are key steps in star formation and evolution,and thus their research has become the core content of modern astronomical research.Although as early as 1976,Bodan Pachenski proposed the theory of the evolution of shared envelopes in binary stars,but it was never confirmed until 2022 when the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an Australian team first observed the phenomenon of shared envelope ejection in binary stars,which provided support for Bodan Pachenski’s theory,but the true formation mechanism and evolution process of binary stars remain undetermined.For this reason,the author of this paper has proposed a theory of the formation and evolution of binary stars based on the theory of the evolution of common envelopes in binary stars and the theory of tidal disruption events,laying a foundation for establishing a complete theory of star formation and evolution.

文摘In this study,we present a comprehensive analysis of a modified Frolov black hole(BH)model that incorporates two types of topological defects,a global monopole(GM)and a cloud of strings(CS).This composite BH solution is examined from multiple theoretical perspectives to explore the impact of these modifications on the BH's geometric,thermodynamic and dynamical properties.We begin by studying the geometrical optics of the spacetime,focusing on the motion of null geodesics.Key features,such as the effective potential,photon sphere,the force acting on photons and the stability of circular photon orbits,are analyzed in detail.Our results show that the presence of GM and CS significantly affects the spacetime geometry and photon dynamics.In addition,the thermodynamic behavior of the modified BH is also investigated.We derive essential quantities such as the Hawking temperature and entropy,demonstrating how the inclusion of GM and CS leads to deviations from the standard thermodynamic relations observed in classical BH solutions.These deviations may offer valuable insights into quantum gravity and the role of topological defects in BH physics.Furthermore,we examine the BH shadow as an observational signature of the underlying geometry.Our analysis shows that the Frolov parameter tends to reduce the apparent size of the shadow,while the presence of topological defects,particularly GM and CS,enlarges it.In addition,we investigate the perturbative dynamics of the BH by studying both scalar(spin-0),fermionic(spin-1/2)and electromagnetic(spin-1)fields through the massless Klein-Gordon and Maxwell equations,respectively.Using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation,we compute the quasinormal modes(QNMs)for scalar and electromagnetic field perturbations.The results confirm the stability of the BH under small perturbations and show that the QNM frequencies and damping rates are strongly influenced by the Frolov parameter,electric charge,GM and CS.

文摘Cu_(x)Ta_(2-x)O_(5) compositions were investigated for advanced thermoelectric and optical applications,using both simulations and experimental approaches.Density functional theory calculations were performed before the experimental observations to predict the trends of various parameters.Crystal structure analysis confirmed the presence of the orthorhombic Ta_(2)O_(5) phase in all the compositions.The composition and morphology demonstrated impurity-free contents with uniform and crack-free surfaces.Thermoelectric analysis depicted a decrease in Seebeck coefficient from 3.66µV·K^(-1)to 1.91µV·K^(-1)and an increase in the value of specific heat from 0.73 J·K^(-1)·kg^(-1)to 11.6 J·K^(-1)·kg^(-1)upon Cu incorporation in structure.The bandgap was found to reduce from 2.61 to 1.38 e V with Cu-induced electronic states.The real epsilon and static refractive index increased from 3.75 to 4.57 and from 1.93 to 2.11,respectively,with increment in Cu content.The enhanced parameters,focusing on the thermoelectric and optical responses,make these compositions potential candidates for advanced optoelectronic applications.

文摘This study investigates the effect of BaHfO_(3)(BHO)addition on the optical properties of YBa_2Cu_(3)O_(7-δ)(YBCO)superconducting thin films using spectroscopic ellipsometry.Through Raman spectroscopy and SEM analysis,optimal 10-min Ar ion etching effectively removes surface a-axis-oriented grains and Ba–Cu–O impurities,enhancing surface quality.Optical conductivity analysis reveals a doping-dependent evolution:10%BHO doping maximizes free carrier density and interband transition efficiency,attributed to optimized Cu–O bond contraction and reduced lattice distortions.Higher doping induces defect clustering,carrier scattering,and redshifted transitions due to lattice expansion.Dielectric function and loss function analyses confirm enhanced plasmonic behavior and flux pinning at 10%doping,while excessive doping degrades electronic transitions.These results highlight the critical role of controlled BHO addition and surface treatment in tailoring the optical and superconducting properties of YBCO,offering insights into the interplay among doping,carrier dynamics,and electronic structure in high-temperature superconductors(HTS).
