文摘In this study,copper extraction from low-grade oxide-sulfide ores was investigated using a leaching method combined with response surface methodology(RSM)to optimize operational conditions and assess leaching kinetics.Given copper's extensive industrial applications,sustainable recovery from low-grade ores is critical.Five key parameters-acid concentration,leaching time,particle size,temperature,and solids percentage-were identified as major influences on copper recovery.The results revealed that leaching time and solids percentage,along with interactions between temperature-time and temperature-solids percentage,had the most significant effects.Optimal conditions for 80% copper recovery while minimizing iron recovery below 3% included an acid concentration of 1.21 mol L^(-1),a leaching time of 108 min,a particle size of 438μm,a temperature of 45℃,and a solids percentage of 18.2%.Leaching kinetics were analyzed using shrinking core models,with the Dickinson model best describing the process,showing an activation energy of 32.63 kJ mol^(-1),indicative of mixed diffusion and chemical reaction control.The final kinetic model effectively predicted the influence of key parameters.These findings highlight the importance of optimizing process variables and selecting suitable kinetic models to enhance extraction efficiency,reduce costs,and improve sustainability in copper recovery.

文摘The traditional nanozymes-based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platforms usually necessitate the supplementary addition of fluorescent probes,therefore greatly restricting its convenient and broad application.In this study,a highly sensitive and selective ratiometric fluorescence platform for alkaline phosphatase(ALP)detection was established,only employing Prussian blue(PB)nanozymes and a commercially available chromogen of o-phenylenediamine(OPD).PB nanozymes with remarkable peroxidaselike(POD-like)activity can effectively catalyze OPD chromogen to yield 2,3-diaminophenazine(OPDox)with an intense yellow fluorescence at 573 nm emission peak.Target ALP can facilitate ascorbic acid 2-phosphate(AAP)dephosphorylation to generate phosphate and ascorbic acid(AA).Significantly,both these two resultant hydrolysis products could effectively decrease the OPDox generation via a dualpath based inhibition on the PB nanozymes POD-like activity.On the other hand,the generated dehydroascorbic acid(DHAA)from AA oxidation would exclusively react with OPD chromogen to yield3-(dihydroxyethyl)furo[3,4-b]quinoxaline-1-one(DFQ)with a strong blue fluorescent signal at 434nm,which further providing a significant enhancement on the sensing selectivity of ALP detection.As a result,an increased yellow fluorescence of OPDox and decreased blue fluorescence of DFQ could be clearly observed with different ALP addition.A robust linear relationship between the fluorescence ratio of F_(434)/F_(573)and ALP activity ranging from 0.25U/L to 6U/L was obtained,with a low detection limit of 0.112 U/L.This proposed method demonstrates high sensitivity,excellent selectivity,cost-effectiveness,and operational simplicity,yet enabling an effective detection of ALP levels in human serum.

文摘Constructing a framework carrier to stabilize protein conformation,induce high embedding efficiency,and acquire low mass-transfer resistance is an urgent issue in the development of immobilized enzymes.Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks(HOFs)have promising application potential for embedding enzymes.In fact,no metal involvement is required,and HOFs exhibit superior biocompatibility,and free access to substrates in mesoporous channels.Herein,a facile in situ growth approach was proposed for the self-assembly of alcohol dehydrogenase encapsulated in HOF.The micron-scale bio-catalytic composite was rapidly synthesized under mild conditions(aqueous phase and ambient temperature)with a controllable embedding rate.The high crystallinity and periodic arrangement channels of HOF were preserved at a high enzyme encapsulation efficiency of 59%.This bio-composite improved the tolerance of the enzyme to the acid-base environment and retained 81%of its initial activity after five cycles of batch hydrogenation involving NADH coenzyme.Based on this controllably synthesized bio-catalytic material and a common lipase,we further developed a two-stage cascade microchemical system and achieved the continuous production of chiral hydroxybutyric acid(R-3-HBA).
文摘Objective:Interpersonal brain synchronization(IBS)has emerged as a significant concept in understanding collaborative team dynamics,with functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)proving to be a vital tool in its assessment.This review aims to collate and analyze the literature on the application of fNIRS in various team settings,emphasizing its potential utility in surgical environments.Methods:A thorough search and screening process across multiple databases resulted in 17 studies being reviewed,with a focus on the utilization of fNIRS to measure IBS in different collaborative tasks.This review examined the tasks employed,participant demographics,organizational structures of teams,methodologies for IBS measurement,and correlations between brain synchronization and behavioral measurements.Results:fNIRS emerged as a non-invasive,cost-effective,and portable tool,predominantly used to assess IBS in pair-based tasks with a variety of participant demographics.Wavelet transform coherence was the primary method used for measuring synchronization,particularly in the prefrontal brain region.A consistent correlation was found between increased brain synchronization and enhanced team performance,underscoring the potential of fNIRS in understanding and optimizing team dynamics.Conclusion:This review establishes fNIRS as a promising tool for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying team cooperation,providing invaluable insights for potential applications in surgical settings.While acknowledging the limitations in the current literature,the review highlights the need for further research with larger sample sizes and varied task complexities to solidify the understanding of IBS and its impact on team performance.The ultimate goal is to leverage fNIRS in assessing and improving surgical team dynamics,contributing to improved patient outcomes and safety.

文摘Efficient utilization of electrostatic charges is paramount for numerous applications,from printing to kinetic energy harvesting.However,existing technologies predominantly focus on the static qualities of these charges,neglecting their dynamic capabilities as carriers for energy conversion.Herein,we report a paradigm-shifting strategy that orchestrates the swift transit of surface charges,generated through contact electrification,via a freely moving droplet.This technique ingeniously creates a bespoke charged surface which,in tandem with a droplet acting as a transfer medium to the ground,facilitates targeted charge displacement and amplifies electrical energy collection.The spontaneously generated electric field between the charged surface and needle tip,along with the enhanced water ionization under the electric field,proves pivotal in facilitating controlled charge transfer.By coupling the effects of charge self-transfer,contact electrification,and electrostatic induction,a dual-electrode droplet-driven(DD)triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)is designed to harvest the water-related energy,exhibiting a two-orderof-magnitude improvement in electrical output compared to traditional single-electrode systems.Our strategy establishes a fundamental groundwork for efficient water drop energy acquisition,offering deep insights and substantial utility for future interdisciplinary research and applications in energy science.

文摘As the commercialization of the fifth gen-eration communication(5G)is sped up,its system testing scheme is vital for the successful deployment of 5G.Especially,5G relies on the scale-increased multiple-input-multiple output(MIMO)technique to improve its capacity and coverage.Thus,testing new functions of the 5G MIMO system accurately and ef-ficiently,including beamforming(beam-tracking with movement)and multiple-user(MU)multiplexing,is a challenging task.This paper tries to construct a lab-oratorial hardware and conduct equipment-controlled field testing.Firstly,the testing scheme is presented,which is composed of the framework,the channel models and the validation methods.Then,the channel model principles are explained in detail due to its di-rect influence on the testing accuracy.Specifically,we utilize the spatial consistency and the multi-link cor-relation properties to emulate the high-speed dynamic time-varying(HDT)and the multiple-cell(MC)-MU-MIMO channels.Finally,the above testing scheme is verified in a Shanghai 5G field experiment with the practical commercial equipment and the channel em-ulator.The results show that the 5G new functions are tested accurately and efficiently by switching the channel emulation configurations.

文摘This study was conducted to devise an integrated methodology for retrieval of surface soilmoisture(SSM)using Landsat 8 TIRS data.For this purpose,Landsat 8 images of 15 May 2021(pre-monsoon)and 20 November 2021(post-monsoon)were processed for retrieval of soil moisture index(SMI)based on land surface temperature(LST).Moreover,field-based SM in the laboratory was also determined and correlated with satellite-based SMI.A moderate correlation between field-based SM and satellite-based SMI with R2=0.60 was obtained.Based on this relationship,SSM maps of Tehsil Faisalabad Saddar for the pre-and post-monsoon seasons of 2021 were developed.Significant variations in the spatial distribution of SSM of Tehsil Faisalabad Saddar(total area of 1492.45 km^(2))for pre-and postmonsoon seasons were observed.In the pre-monsoon season,68.1% of the area of Faisalabad Saddar showed SSM contents ranging from 10.37%to 15.40%.Only 8.7%of the total area of Faisalabad Saddar exhibited SSM in the range of 15.41%-22.82%in the pre-monsoon season.It was astonishing to notice that no area in Faisalabad Saddar was detected with SSMabove 22.82% in the pre-monsoon season.However,in the post-monsoon season,only 0.11%of the total study area exhibited SSM in the range of 0.0%to 26.97%.The maximum area(52.29%of the total area)in post-monsoon season exhibited SSMranging from 36.18%to 40.02%,followed by 32.02%-36.17%(34.3% of the total area).The study concluded that satellite-based retrieval of surface soil moisture realistically monitored the variations in soil moisture due to the onset of the monsoon season.The novel methodology developed in this study could be helpful for policy making regarding groundwater recharge and its sustainable use in an area,as well as for estimating surface soilmoisture to provide irrigation scheduling and crop management guidelines.
