In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction. The study provides an analysis of strategies for mitigating and managing GRS slope failures, as well as enhancing roadbed performance.展开更多

文摘Granite residual soil (GRS) is a type of weathering soil that can decompose upon contact with water, potentially causing geological hazards. In this study, cement, an alkaline solution, and glass fiber were used to reinforce GRS. The effects of cement content and SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of the alkaline solution on the static and dynamic strengths of GRS were discussed. Microscopically, the reinforcement mechanism and coupling effect were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the addition of 2% cement and an alkaline solution with an SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio of 0.5 led to the densest matrix, lowest porosity, and highest static compressive strength, which was 4994 kPa with a dynamic impact resistance of 75.4 kN after adding glass fiber. The compressive strength and dynamic impact resistance were a result of the coupling effect of cement hydration, a pozzolanic reaction of clay minerals in the GRS, and the alkali activation of clay minerals. Excessive cement addition or an excessively high SiO_(2)/Na2O ratio in the alkaline solution can have negative effects, such as the destruction of C-(A)-S-H gels by the alkaline solution and hindering the production of N-A-S-H gels. This can result in damage to the matrix of reinforced GRS, leading to a decrease in both static and dynamic strengths. This study suggests that further research is required to gain a more precise understanding of the effects of this mixture in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and optimizing its properties. The findings indicate that cement and alkaline solution are appropriate for GRS and that the reinforced GRS can be used for high-strength foundation and embankment construction.

文摘Attempts have been made to modulate motor sequence learning(MSL)through repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,targeting different sites within the sensorimotor network.However,the target with the optimum modulatory effect on neural plasticity associated with MSL remains unclarified.This study was therefore designed to compare the role of the left primary motor cortex and the left supplementary motor area proper(SMAp)in modulating MSL across different complexity levels and for both hands,as well as the associated neuroplasticity by applying intermittent theta burst stimulation together with the electroencephalogram and concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation.Our data demonstrated the role of SMAp stimulation in modulating neural communication to support MSL,which is achieved by facilitating regional activation and orchestrating neural coupling across distributed brain regions,particularly in interhemispheric connections.These findings may have important clinical implications,particularly for motor rehabilitation in populations such as post-stroke patients.
文摘Silver is an elegant white precious metal,but it is easily oxidized by O3,SO2,and H2S in the air,turning yellow or dark,which affects its decorative effect.The existing silver coating,primarily prepared through the electroplating process,poses serious environmental pollution problems.It is necessary to seek new,green,and environmentally friendly coating processes while also enhancing the color palette of silver jewelry coatings.Titanium film layers were deposited on Ag925 and Ag999 surfaces using magnetron sputtering coating technology.The effects of sputtering time,substrate surface state,reaction gas type and time,and film thickness on the color of the film layers were studied,and the anti discoloration performance of the obtained film layers under the optimal process was tested.The experimental results show that when the sputtering time varies from 5 to 10 minutes,injecting argon,oxygen,and nitrogen into the coating chamber yields rich colors such as purple with a red tint,blue,yellow green,yellowish purple,and blue purple.The precise control of gas injection time has a significant impact on the color of the film layer.In terms of anti tarnish performance,the film showed good stability in the artificial sweat immersion test.From an environmental perspective,the magnetron sputtering titanium film process has no harmful gas or liquid emissions,which aligns with the sustainable development trend of the jewelry industry and holds great promise for application.This study has improved the visual effect and practical performance of the product,providing important theoretical basis and experimental data support for the application of environmentally friendly silver surface vacuum magnetron sputtering titanium thin film coating technology.
文摘This study aims to explore the potential of using a blended pulp from Mikania micrantha(M.micrantha)and waste paper for producing composite paper.The effects of the mass ratio of M.micrantha stem to waste paper(MRMW),the beating time(BT),the water-to-pulp mass ratio(WPMR)and the times of pulp suspension screening(TPSS)on the paper’s basic structural,optical and mechanical properties are investigated.It is found that MRMW primarily affects the grammage(mass per unit area),density,bulkness and whiteness;WPMR mainly affects the thickness and density;TPSS mainly affects the thickness and grammage.When MRMW is 3:7,the composite paper shows higher values for thickness,grammage,density and whiteness;whereas when MRMW is 7:3,these values are lower.Extending BT can increase paper density.The tensile strengths of all prepared samples fall in the range of 1.5 to 4.1 kN/m,indicating their excellent strength properties that meet the demands of many paper applications.The artistic bags and lampshades crafted from this composite paper exhibit a more natural texture compared to conventional packaging paper.This research demonstrates the feasibility of papermaking by using M.micrantha,while showcasing the potential for synergistic integration of waste resources with traditional hand papermaking techniques.

文摘Sarcasm detection in Natural Language Processing(NLP)has become increasingly important,partic-ularly with the rise of social media and non-textual emotional expressions,such as images.Existing methods often rely on separate image and text modalities,which may not fully utilize the information available from both sources.To address this limitation,we propose a novel multimodal large model,i.e.,the PKME-MLM(Prior Knowledge and Multi-label Emotion analysis based Multimodal Large Model for sarcasm detection).The PKME-MLM aims to enhance sarcasm detection by integrating prior knowledge to extract useful textual information from images,which is then combined with text data for deeper analysis.This method improves the integration of image and text data,addressing the limitation of previous models that process these modalities separately.Additionally,we incorporate multi-label sentiment analysis,refining sentiment labels to improve sarcasm recognition accuracy.This design overcomes the limitations of prior models that treated sentiment classification as a single-label problem,thereby improving sarcasm recognition by distinguishing subtle emotional cues from the text.Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves significant performance improvements in multimodal sarcasm detection tasks,with an accuracy(Acc.)of 94.35%,and Macro-Average Precision and Recall reaching 93.92%and 94.21%,respectively.These results highlight the potential of multimodal models in improving sarcasm detection and suggest that further integration of modalities could advance future research.This work also paves the way for incorporating multimodal sentiment analysis into sarcasm detection.

文摘Arsenic(As)contamination in paddy soils has posed a prominent threat to rice production in Asia.Recycling of silicon(Si)from Si-rich combusted rice husk(CRH)could serve as a sustainable strategy to mitigate rice As uptake through their shared transport pathway.Root(soil)application of CRH alone,however,was insufficient to decrease inorganic As(iAs)in polished rice below Chinese food standards(0.2 mg kg^(-1)).In this study,an aqueous Si solution derived from CRH was used for synergistic foliar application over the highest Si-demanding stage(reproductive stage)of rice,following root application of Si,to investigate rice As uptake in both pot and field experiments.In the pot experiment,on the basis of root application of CRH,Si supplementation before the reproductive stage of rice led to a 51%decrease in As concentration on root surface along with a prominent reduction of Fe plaque due to enhanced root suberization,relative to single root application of CRH treatment.In parallel,the expression of OsLis6 gene in the root was downregulated by 91%than that with only root application of CRH.These changes decreased As influx into root by 56%and led correspondingly to 41%lower As transfer to the straw,as compared with root application of CRH treatment.In node I,the expression of OsLis6 decreased concurrently by 71%,leading ultimately to 28%lower iAs accumulation in grains than that with root application of CRH alone.In the field experiment,with single foliar Si,the mitigation of grain iAs occurred only at lower soil As level of 40 mg kg^(-1),while promoted iAs unloading into grains was determined under higher soil As level(80 mg kg^(-1))relative to the control without Si application.It was,therefore,concluded that the mitigation of grain iAs accumulation with soil application of CRH can be strengthened critically by synergistic supply of foliar Si,serving as a more reliable pathway to secure rice production in As-contaminated paddy fields.

文摘Combined pulsed laser(CPL),introduced in 1975 for target damage,integrates different lasers to achieve high peak power and pulse energy.However,despite decades of research,CPL remains unused for long-range target damage due to the challenge of maintaining high peak power density over long distances.We note that a potential solution lies in leveraging the air filament generated by femtosecond laser,which can transmit peak power densities higher than 1014 W/cm^(2)under the power clamping effect.To address this,a concept of a femtosecond laser induced air filament-CW CPL for surface damage of ceramics was introduced.We found no surface changes in ceramic targets when irradiated with a CW laser alone.By way of contrast,the target can be penetrated in a very short time(20 ms)with the assistance of the femtosecond laser induced air filament.In this context,we employ high-speed shadow imaging,cross-timescale simulation models and macro-microscopic characterization,to elucidate the CPL damage mechanism.The optimal CPL,combining a 1 mJ femtosecond laser and a 500 W CW laser,yields a damage rate of 1.51×10^(7)μm^(3)/J,representing an improvement of approximately 175%compared to single femtosecond laser ablation and around 59%enhancement compared to coating-assisted CW laser ablation.Furthermore,the efficacy of the proposed femtosecond-CW CPL method is demonstrated in causing penetration damage of ceramic/metal composite material or direct damage of sapphire,showcasing its versatility in damaging applications.Consequently,the femtosecond-CW CPL ablation method presented in this paper holds great promise as a new type of damage method for transparent hard and brittle materials.

文摘We demonstrate that the sliding motion between two layers of the newly discovered ferroelectric and topologically trivial bismuth(Bi)monolayer[Nature 61767(2023)]can induce a sequence of topological phase transitions,alternating between Z_(2)trivial and nontrivial states.The lateral shift,while preserving spatial symmetry,can switch the quantum spin Hall state on and of.The sliding-induced changes in out-of-plane atomic buckling,which are directly coupled to in-plane ferroelectricity,are shown to signifcantly modulate the band gap and drive the topological phase transitions.We map out the topological phase diagram and in-plane ferroelectricity with respect to sliding displacements.With appropriate sliding,the bismuth bilayer can transition into a nontrivial polar metal,exhibiting a pronounced shift current response arising from interband geometric quantities of electronic bands.Moreover,bilayer Bi supports a sliding-tunable nonlinear anomalous Hall response resulting from the geometric Berry curvature dipole.Confgurations that are Z_(2)nontrivial can generate drastically different transverse currents orthogonal to the external electric feld,as both the direction and magnitude of the Berry curvature dipole at the Fermi level are highly sensitive to the sliding displacement.Our results suggest that bilayer bismuth,with its ability to generate multiple types of geometric currents,ofers a versatile platform for power-efcient“Berry slidetronics”for multistate memory applications integrating both band topology and ferroelectricity.

文摘Rapid technological advancements drive miniaturization and high energy density in devices,thereby increasing nanoscale thermal management demands and urging development of higher spatial resolution technologies for thermal imaging and transport research.Here,we introduce an approach to measure nanoscale thermal resistance using in situ inelastic scanning transmission electron microscopy.By constructing unidirectional heating flux with controlled temperature gradients and analyzing electron energy-loss/gain signals under optimized acquisition conditions,nanometer-resolution in mapping phonon apparent temperature is achieved.Thus,interfacial thermal resistance is determined by calculating the ratio of interfacial temperature difference to bulk temperature gradient.This methodology enables direct measurement of thermal transport properties for atomic-scale structural features(e.g.,defects and heterointerfaces),resolving critical structure-performance relationships,providing a useful tool for investigating thermal phenomena at the(sub-)nanoscale.

文摘Propane dehydrogenation(PDH)is a vital industrial process for producing propene,utilizing primarily Cr-based or Pt-based catalysts.These catalysts often suffer from challenges such as the toxicity of Cr,the high costs of noble metals like Pt,and deactivation issues due to sintering or coke formation at elevated temperatures.We introduce an exceptional Ru-based catalyst,Ru nanoparticles anchored on a nitrogendoped carbon matrix(Ru@NC),which achieves a propane conversion rate of 32.2%and a propene selectivity of 93.1%at 550°C,with minimal coke deposition and a low deactivation rate of 0.0065 h^(-1).Characterizations using techniques like TEM and XPS,along with carefully-designed controlled experiments,reveal that the notable performance of Ru@NC stems from the modified electronic state of Ru by nitrogen dopant and the microporous nature of the matrix,positioning it as a top contender among state-of-the-art PDH catalysts.
文摘Industrial paints exacerbate air pollution by emitting volatile organic compounds during application and drying processes.This study seeks to enhance the efficiency of Chinese natural paints and increase their accessibility as bio-based alternatives,thereby mitigating the adverse effects of industrial paints on the environment.The researchers incorporated ten materials into the Chinese natural lacquer,with the formulations containing 5%titanium dioxide nanoparticles and 5%polyurethane demonstrating superior performance.These formulations reduced the drying time of the Chinese natural lacquer to 12 hours and 8 hours,respectively,under climatic conditions of 34 degrees Celsius and 64%humidity,while also improving the physical properties of the expanding materials.By experimenting with the materials and processes of contemporary lacquer art,modern lacquer material drying time test,scanning electron microscope(SEM),water droplet angle test,pencil hardness test,adhesion test and other tests,expanding the modern lacquer art materials;the researchers carried out comparative experiments of creative practice,using modern Chinese lacquer materials completely original 32 lacquer paintings,20 of which were successful;the creation of lacquer paintings using the traditional methods The creation cycle of the works using the traditional method was around 2 months,as a control,the creation cycle of the lacquer paintings using the innovative method was between 2 weeks and 3 weeks,which is a drastic reduction in time.Expanded Chinese natural lacquer can contribute to the sustainable development of traditional Chinese lacquer art.

文摘The synoptic process of a super Arctic cyclone in August 2016(AC16)is investigated based on the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model,and the key factors affecting the rapid intensification(RI)of AC16 and their relative contributions are analyzed by diagnosing a new surface pressure tendency equation(SPTE).The major physical mechanisms behind the two RI stages of AC16 are revealed.The trajectory,intensity changes,and structural characteristics of AC16 are well simulated by the WRF model.A diagnosis based on the SPTE promisingly reproduces the two RI stages of AC16.The leading factor that influenced the intensity of AC16 was identified to be the air-column potential temperature tendency,while the pressure change at the upper boundary had less of an impact.Further analysis reveals that the horizontal potential temperature advection was the decisive factor in a warming of the air column.Specifically,the upper-level warm advection generated by the strong wind field of the upper-level jet played a dominant role in warming the air column,which caused the initial RI of AC16.The AC16 movement into a strong potential temperature gradient generated by tropopause polar vortices increased the upper-level warm advection,which warmed the air column and thereby induced the second RI of AC16.However,the net effect of vertical potential temperature advection and latent heating,as well as radiation processes,caused a cooling of the air column and thereby negatively contributed to the RI of AC16.
