Design: Cross-sectional study with carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) colonization detection from the fecal specimens of 20 Health Care Workers (HCWs) and 67 residents and 175 random environment specimens from September 2022 to September 2023. Setting: A Care and Protection Centre of Orphaned Children in South of HCM City. Participants: It included 20 HCWs, 67 residents, and 175 randomly collected environmental specimens. Method: Rectal and environmental swabs were collected from 20 HCWs, 67 residents (most of them were children), and 175 environmental specimens. MELAB Chromogenic CARBA agar plates, Card NID, and NMIC-500 CPO of the BD Phoenix TM Automated Microbiology System and whole genome sequencing (WGS) were the tests to screen, confirm CROs, respectively and determine CRO colonization and transmission between HCWs, residents, and the environment. Result: We detected 36 CRO isolates, including 6, 11 and 19 CROs found in 6 HCWs, 10 residents and 19 environments. The prevalence of detectable CRO was 30% (6/20) in HCWs, 14.92% (10/67) in residents, and 10.86% (19/175) in environmental swabs in our study. WGS demonstrated CRO colonization and transmission with the clonal spread of E. coli and A. nosocomialis, among HCWs and residents (children). Conclusion: Significant CRO colonization and transmission was evident in HCWs, residents, and the center environment. Cleaning and disinfection of the environment and performing regular hand hygiene are priorities to reduce the risk of CRO colonization and transmission.展开更多

The corrosion protection of the waterborne epoxy coatings containing the adhesive polymers was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results indicated that the PHEA-DOPA could improve the corrosion resistance of the waterborne epoxy coating. The corrosion products were also analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy（RM）, indicating the formation of the insoluble DOPA-Fe complexes on the carbon steel surface. These complexes simultaneously acting as a passivating layer, can inhibit the process of corrosion at the metal-solution interface. The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.展开更多

As a key area of ecosystem services and for maintaining national ecological security, ecosystem changes and implementation effect evaluation are important in national key ecological function zones, for promoting the main function zone strategy and for improving the construction of an ecological civilization. This article studies the ecological zone of a tropical rainforest region in the central mountain area of Hainan Island, China. Multi-source satellite data and ground observation statistics are analyzed with geo-statistics method and ecological assessment model. The core analysis of this paper includes ecosystem patterns, quality and services. By means of spatial and temporal scale expansion and multidimensional space-time correlation analysis, the trends and stability characteristics of ecosystem changes are analyzed, and implementation effect evaluation is discussed. The analysis shows a variety of results. The proportion of forest area inside the ecological zone was significantly higher than the average level in Hainan Island. During 1990–2013, settlement gradually increased inside the ecological zone. After implementation of the zone in 2010, human activity intensity increased, with the main land use being urban construction and land reclamation. Water conservation in the ecological function zone was higher than that outside the zone. In general, it increased slightly, but had obvious fluctuations. Soil conservation inside the zone was also better than that outside. However, it demonstrated dramatic fluctuations and relatively poor stability during 1990–2013. The human disturbance index inside the zone was significantly lower than that outside, and had a lower biodiversity threat level. Especially in 2010–2013, the increased range of the human disturbance index inside the zone was significantly less than that outside.展开更多

Our study includes the response of electrical-interference-proof circuit in electromagnetic environment, by means of bionics redesign. In this way, new principles, new technics and new ways are adopted to solve the unavoidable situations in traditional electro- magnet protection design. Based on the Boolean model, the complex bionic topological networks were firstly built and the charactoristics of degeneracy were analyzed, then the bidirectional actions between degeneracy in networks and the robustness of functions were proved in order to fill up the gap to deal with the need of interference-proof. Based on the creation of the neuron networks and the electrical synapses ＇ charac- teristic of plasticity, the impact of the distribution in the weight of synapse on the character of network self- recovery was studied afterwards so that the corresponding mechanism could be defined.展开更多

文摘A novel mussel-inspired adhesive polymer（PHEA-DOPA） containing the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine（DOPA） functional group based on polyaspartamide derivatives was synthesized. The corrosion protection of the waterborne epoxy coatings containing the adhesive polymers was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results indicated that the PHEA-DOPA could improve the corrosion resistance of the waterborne epoxy coating. The corrosion products were also analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy（RM）, indicating the formation of the insoluble DOPA-Fe complexes on the carbon steel surface. These complexes simultaneously acting as a passivating layer, can inhibit the process of corrosion at the metal-solution interface. The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.

文摘Multi-terminal hybrid high-voltage direct current(HVDC)systems have been developed quickly in recent years in power transmission area.However,for voltage-source converter(VSC)stations in hybrid HVDC systems,no direct current(DC)filters are required.In addition,the DC reactor is also not installed at the line end because the DC fault can be limited by the converter itself.This means that the boundary element at the line end is absent,and the single-ended protections used in line commutated converter(LCC)based HVDC(LCC-HVDC)systems or VSC-HVDC systems cannot distinguish the fault line in multi-terminal hybrid HVDC systems.This paper proposes a novel singleended DC protection strategy suitable for the multi-terminal hybrid HVDC system,which mainly applies the transient information and active injection concept to detect and distinguish the fault line.Compared with the single-ended protections used in LCC-HVDC and VSC-HVDC systems,the proposed protection strategy is not dependent on the line boundary element and is thus suitable for the multiterminal hybrid HVDC system.The corresponding simulation cases based on power systems computer aided design(PSCAD)/electromagnetic transients including DC(EMTDC)are carried out to verify the superiority of the proposed protection.

文摘As the world’s largest developing country,the ability of China’s agricultural resource utilization to effectively support the current and future food security goals has been affected by a variety of factors(e.g.,transformed supply channels,tightening international situation and frequent emergencies)in recent years and has attracted extensive attention from the academic community subject to multiple factors.This study uses literature review,statistical analysis,and spatial analysis methods to systematically explore China’s food security situation in the context of farmland resource constraints.It is found that the demand-side pressures such as demographic changes,social class differentiation,and dietary structure adjustments derived from economic growth and rapid urbanization have placed extremely high expectations on food supply.However,the quantitative restrictions,utilization ways,and health risks of farmland resources on the supply side constitute a huge hidden concern that affects the stability of food production.Although China’s farmland protection system is undergoing a transition from focusing on quantity management to sustainable use,the matching and coordinating demand pressure and supply capacity for food security is unbalanced.Therefore,facing uncertain future development scenarios,policymakers should focus on building a resilient space for China’s farmland protection to withstand the interference of major emergencies.The existing farmland protection space policy can be integrated by establishing a national farmland strategic reserve system(based on resilient space),and further development of targeted use control measures for zoning,grading,and classification will help realize sustainable China’s farmland resources use.

文摘In this work,TiO_(2)nanotube arrays(NTAs)sensitized with MoS_(2)microspheres(MoS_(2)/TiO_(2)nanocomposites)were prepared on a flat Ti substrate via two-step anodization and hydrothermal method sequentially.TiO_(2)NTAs were composed of many orderly nanotubes,whose large specific surface area was favorable for light absorption and MoS_(2)microsphere adhesion.The MoS_(2)microsphere as a narrow band gap semiconductor extended the TiO_(2)NTAs’absorption band edge to the visible region.The 2D structure of MoS_(2)microspheres and the construction of heterojunction electronic field at the interface of MoS_(2)microspheres and TiO_(2)NTAs promoted the separation of photoinduced carriers.The MoS_(2)/TiO_(2)nanocomposites could provide higher photoelectrochemical cathodic protection for 304 stainless steel(304 SS)under visible light than pristine TiO_(2)NTAs.

文摘A Ag@CuFe_(2)O_(4)@TiO_(2) nanocomposite film with high performance of photogenerated cathodic protection was prepared by hydrothermal and photoreduction methods.The results showed that when the CuFe_(2)O_(4) hydrothermal reaction time was 6 h and the AgNO_(3) concentration was 0.1 M,the Ag@CuFe_(2)O_(4)@TiO_(2) nanocomposite material performed the best cathodic protection capability for 304 stainless steel(304SS).In this case,the protective potential achieved-930 mV(versus SCE)associated with the photocurrent density of 475μA/cm^(2),which was 14.8 times that of pure TiO_(2) nanowires.In the dark,the nanocomposite provided cathodic protection of up to 485 mV for 304SS.Due to the heterogeneous junctions at the two interfaces among the three kinds of nanocomposite materials,the build-in electric field was fabricated,which promoted the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes and effectively improved the photochemical cathodic protection of 304SS.

文摘Ecosystem services have become one of the core elements of ecosystem management and evaluation. As a key area of ecosystem services and for maintaining national ecological security, ecosystem changes and implementation effect evaluation are important in national key ecological function zones, for promoting the main function zone strategy and for improving the construction of an ecological civilization. This article studies the ecological zone of a tropical rainforest region in the central mountain area of Hainan Island, China. Multi-source satellite data and ground observation statistics are analyzed with geo-statistics method and ecological assessment model. The core analysis of this paper includes ecosystem patterns, quality and services. By means of spatial and temporal scale expansion and multidimensional space-time correlation analysis, the trends and stability characteristics of ecosystem changes are analyzed, and implementation effect evaluation is discussed. The analysis shows a variety of results. The proportion of forest area inside the ecological zone was significantly higher than the average level in Hainan Island. During 1990–2013, settlement gradually increased inside the ecological zone. After implementation of the zone in 2010, human activity intensity increased, with the main land use being urban construction and land reclamation. Water conservation in the ecological function zone was higher than that outside the zone. In general, it increased slightly, but had obvious fluctuations. Soil conservation inside the zone was also better than that outside. However, it demonstrated dramatic fluctuations and relatively poor stability during 1990–2013. The human disturbance index inside the zone was significantly lower than that outside, and had a lower biodiversity threat level. Especially in 2010–2013, the increased range of the human disturbance index inside the zone was significantly less than that outside.
文摘As we have borrowed the wisdom from biological neural network, the characteristic of interference- proof in information transferring process has been carefully studied. Our study includes the response of electrical-interference-proof circuit in electromagnetic environment, by means of bionics redesign. In this way, new principles, new technics and new ways are adopted to solve the unavoidable situations in traditional electro- magnet protection design. Based on the Boolean model, the complex bionic topological networks were firstly built and the charactoristics of degeneracy were analyzed, then the bidirectional actions between degeneracy in networks and the robustness of functions were proved in order to fill up the gap to deal with the need of interference-proof. Based on the creation of the neuron networks and the electrical synapses ＇ charac- teristic of plasticity, the impact of the distribution in the weight of synapse on the character of network self- recovery was studied afterwards so that the corresponding mechanism could be defined.
