文摘Protonic solid oxide electrolysis cells(P-SOECs)are a promising technology for water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen.However,there are still challenges related key materials and anode/electrolyte interface.P-SOECs with Zr-rich electrolyte,called Zr-rich side P-SOECs,possess high thermodynamically stability under high steam concentrations but the large reaction resistances and the current leakage,thus the inferior performances.In this study,an efficient functional interlayer Ba_(0.95)La_(0.05)Fe_(0.8)Zn_(0.2)O_(3-δ)(BLFZ)in-between the anode and the electrolyte is developed.The electrochemical performances of P-SOECs are greatly enhanced because the BLFZ can greatly increase the interface contact,boost anode reaction kinetics,and increase proton injection into electrolyte.As a result,the P-SOEC yields high current density of 0.83 A cm^(-2) at 600℃ in 1.3 Vamong all the reported Zr-rich side cells.This work not only offers an efficient functional interlayer for P-SOECs but also holds the potential to achieve P-SOECs with high performances and long-term stability.

文摘There is an urgent need for the application of broadband Microwave Absorption(MA)structures on the leading edges of aircraft wings,which requires the MA structures to possess both the broadband MA performance and great surface conformability.To meet these requirements,we designed and fabricated a flexible bioinspired meta-structure with ultra-broadband MA,thin thickness and excellent surface conformality.The carbonyl iron powder-carbon nanotubes-polydimethylsiloxane composite was synthesized by physical blending method for fabricating the MA meta-structure.Through geometry-electromagnetic optimal design by heuristic optimization algorithm,the meta-structure mimicking to the nipple photonic nanostructures on the eyes of moth can achieve ultra-broadband MA performance of 35.14 GHz MA bandwidth(reflection loss≤–10 dB),covering 4.86–40.00 GHz,with thickness of only 4.3 mm.Through simple fabrication processes,the meta-structure has been successfully fabricated and bonded on wings’leading edges,exhibiting excellent surface conformability.Furthermore,the designed flexible MA meta-structure possesses significant Radar Cross-Section(RCS)reduction capability,as demonstrated by the RCS analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle.This flexible ultra-broadband MA meta-structure provides an outstanding candidate to meet the radar stealth requirement of variable curvature structures on aircraft.

文摘To more accurately describe the coal damage and fracture evolution law during liquid nitrogen(LN_(2))fracturing under true triaxial stress,a thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-damage(THMD)coupling model for LN_(2) fracturing coal was developed,considering the coal heterogeneity and thermophysical parameters of nitrogen.The accuracy and applicability of model were verified by comparing with LN_(2) injection pre-cooling and fracturing experimental data.The effects of different pre-cooling times and horizontal stress ratios on coal damage evolution,permeability,temperature distribution,and fracture characteristics were analyzed.The results show that the permeability and damage of the coal increase exponentially,while the temperature decreases exponentially during the fracturing process.As the pre-cooling time increases,the damage range of the coal expands,and the fracture propagation becomes more pronounced.The initiation pressure and rupture pressure decrease and tend to stabilize with longer precooling times.As the horizontal stress ratio increases,fractures preferentially extend along the direction of maximum horizontal principal stress,leading to a significant decrease in both initiation and rupture pressures.At a horizontal stress ratio of 3,the initiation pressure drops by 48.07%,and the rupture pressure decreases by 41.36%.The results provide a theoretical basis for optimizing LN_(2) fracturing techniques and improving coal seam modification.
文摘Taxation,the primary source of fiscal revenue,has profound implications in guiding resource allocation,promoting economic growth,adjusting social wealth distribution,and enhancing cultural influence.The development of e-taxation provides a enhanced security for taxation,but it still faces the risk of inefficiency and tax data leakage.As a decentralized ledger,blockchain provides an effective solution for protecting tax data and avoiding tax-related errors and fraud.The introduction of blockchain into e-taxation protocols can ensure the public verification of taxes.However,balancing taxpayer identity privacy with regulation remains a challenge.In this paper,we propose a blockchain-based anonymous and regulatory e-taxation protocol.This protocol ensures the supervision and tracking of malicious taxpayers while maintaining honest taxpayer identity privacy,reduces the storage needs for public key certificates in the public key infrastructure,and enables selfcertification of taxpayers’public keys and addresses.We formalize the security model of unforgeability for transactions,anonymity for honest taxpayers,and traceability for malicious taxpayers.Security analysis shows that the proposed protocol satisfies unforgeability,anonymity,and traceability.The experimental results of time consumption show that the protocol is feasible in practical applications.
文摘BACKGROUND Traumatic injuries,such as falling,car accidents,and crushing mostly cause spinal fractures in young and middle-aged people,and>50%of them are thoracolumbar fractures.This kind of fracture is easily combined with serious injuries to peripheral nerves and soft tissues,which causes paralysis of the lower limbs if there is no timely rehabilitation treatment.Young patients with thoracolumbar fractures find it difficult to recover after the operation,and they are prone to depression,low self-esteem,and other negative emotions.AIM To investigate the association between anxiety,depression,and social stress in young patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures and the effect on rehabilitation outcomes.METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 100 patients admitted to the orthopedic department of Honghui Hospital,Xi’an Jiaotong University who underwent thoracolumbar spine fracture surgery from January 2022 to June 2023.The general data of the patients were assessed with the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),life events scale,and social support rating scale(SSRS)to identify the correlation between anxiety,depression scores,and social stress and social support.The Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)was utilized to evaluate the rehabilitation outcomes of the patients and to analyze the effects of anxiety and depression scores on rehabilitation.RESULTS According to the scores of HAMD and HAMA in all patients,the prevalence of depression in patients was 39%(39/100),and the prevalence of anxiety was 49%(49/100).Patients were categorized into non-depression(n=61)and depression(n=39),non-anxiety(n=51),and anxiety(n=49)groups.Statistically significant differences in gender,occupation,Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score,and monthly family income were observed between the non-depression and depression groups(P<0.05).A significant difference in occupation and PSQI score was found between the non-anxiety and anxiety groups.Both depression(r=0.207,P=0.038)and anxiety scores(r=0.473,P<0.001)were significantly and positively correlated with negative life events.The difference in negative life event scores as well as SSRS total and item scores was statist-ically significant between patients in the non-depression and depression groups(P<0.05).The difference between the non-anxiety and anxiety groups was statistically significant(P<0.05)in the negative life event scores as well as the total SSRS scores.Additionally,JOA scores were significantly lower in both anxious and depressed patients.CONCLUSION Young patients with thoracolumbar fractures are prone to anxiety and depression.Patients’anxiety and depression are closely associated with social pressure,which reduces the life pressure of young patients with thoracolumbar fractures,enhances social support,and improves the psychology of anxiety and depression.,which affects patients’recovery.
文摘A new cranium and two mandibles of Ailuropoda melanoleuca from Xiangxi,Hunan Province are described here.The materials were discovered in a karst cave on the Bamian Mountain at an altitude of 1200 m,with AMC carbon-fourteen isotope dating indicating an age of 2800±30 BP.Historically,the giant panda was widely distributed in southern China and parts of Southeast Asia during the Pleistocene epoch,but it is now confined and isolated to six mountain ranges in southwest China’s Sichuan,Shaanxi,and Gansu provinces.The subfossil materials reported here represent the first discovery of the living species of giant panda in Xiangxi,Hunan.This extends their geographical distribution in southern China during the Holocene epoch eastward to the eastern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and their recent altitude range down to 1200 m.

文摘Doping with Ga effectively enhances the crystal quality and optical detection efficiency of zinc oxide(Zn O)single crystals,which has attracted considerable research interest in radiation detection.The application of Zn O:Ga(GZO)in nuclear energy is particularly significant and fascinating at the fundamental level,enabling neutron/gamma discrimination while preserving the response time properties of the single crystal in sub-nanoseconds,maximizing the effective counting rate of the pulsed radiation field.In this study,the single-particle waveform discrimination characteristics of GZO were evaluated for five charged particles(α,β,H^(+),Li^(+),and O^(8+)and two prevalent uncharged particles(neutrons and gamma rays).Based on the timecorrelation single-photon counting(TCSPC)method,the luminescence decay time constants of the charged particles in the GZO crystal were determined as follows:1.21 ns for H^(+),1.50 ns for Li^(+),1.70 ns for O^(8+),1.56 ns forαparticles,and 1.09 ns forβparticles.Visible differences in the excitation time spectra curves were observed.Using the conventional time-domain or frequency-domain waveform discrimination techniques,waveform discrimination of 14.9 Me V neutrons and secondary gamma rays generated by the CPNG-6 device based on GZO scintillation was successfully implemented.The neutron signal constituted 77.93%of the total,indicating that GZO exhibited superior neutron/gamma discrimination sensitivity compared with that of a commercial stilbene crystal.Using the neutron/gamma screening outcomes,we reconstructed the voltage pulse height,charge height,and neutron multiplication time spectra of the pulsed neutron radiation field.The reconstructed neutron multiplication time spectrum exhibited a deviation of less than 3%relative to the result obtained using a commercial stilbene scintillator.This is the first report in the open literature on the neutron/gamma discrimination and reconstruction of Zn O pulsed radiation-field information.

文摘A novel type of microcapsule-encapsulated corrosion inhibitor was prepared in a water-based solution with a pH range of 7-8,and it was applied to the composite organic coating of magnesium alloy plasma electrolytic oxidation to enhance its corrosion resistance and self-healing properties.The morphology,chemical composition,structure,and functional properties of the composite coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),polarization curve,alternating current impedance,and salt immersion test.The experimental results showed that,after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl solution for 12 h,the coating could effectively protect AZ91D from corrosion.When the coating was damaged,the exposed alloy surface would release metal ions in the corrosive environment and react with the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline to form a Mg(8-HQ)_(2) chelate,exhibiting significant self-healing behavior.The study results demonstrate the broad application prospects of microcapsule technology in the coating field,providing new ideas for the development of efficient anti-corrosion coatings.

文摘An oxide-dispersion-strengthened(ODS)Fe-10Cr-6.1Al-0.3Zr-0.1Y alloy with a bimodal grain size distribution was developed via a simple process of internal oxidation and powder forging.The intentionally promoted heterogeneous microstructure consists of coarse-grained“core”regions enclosed by mutually connected fine-grained“shell”zones,facilitated by unevenly distributed oxide particles.The sample sintered and then forged at 1150℃exhibited a yield strength of 598 MPa,a tensile strength of 734 MPa,and a fracture elongation of 25.1%.Such simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility are significantly above those of cast or previous powder-consolidated counterparts.During tensile deformation,a strain gradient is built up across the inhomogeneous grains and a high density of geometrically necessary dis-locations was observed near the interfaces of matrix/oxide particles,both contributing to heterogeneous deformation-induced strengthening.This elevates the work hardening rate and consequently the tensile elongation.Quantitative analysis indicates that the dislocation build-up during forging makes the dom-inant contribution to the high yield strength of Ox-1150.The present study offers a new route to the preparation of heterogeneously structured ODS Fe-Cr-Al alloys and provides guidance for optimizing the mechanical properties of such alloys in terms of strength-ductility synergy.

文摘Planar-structured amorphous InGaZnO(a-IGZO)film-based UV photodetectors with different ITO interdigitated electrode spacings were developed on flexible PI substrates via radio frequency magnetron sputtering and non-lithographic fabrication processes.The effects of oxygen flow rate on the surface morphology,electrical transport,and chemical bonding properties of the a-IGZO films were systematically investigated to optimize the performance of the flexible detector.The average transmittance of the flexible a-IGZO photodetector is over 90%in the visible spectral range with a large photo-to-dark current ratio of 3.9×10^(3)under 360 nm UV illumination.The photocurrent of the detectors increases with decreasing the electrode spacing,which is attribute to formation of higher electrical field and drifting more electron-hole pairs to the electrode with shortening the electrode spacing.Under a UV illumination intensity of 9.1 mW/cm~2,the highest responsivity and detectivity of the photodetector with the electrode spacing of 0.4 mm reach 62.1 mA/W and2.83×10^(11)cm·Hz^(1/2)·W^(-1)at 11 V bias voltage,respectively.The flexible detector exhibits enhanced photoresponse performance with the rise and decay time of 2.02 and 0.94 s,respectively.These results can be used in a practical scheme to design and realize the a-IGZO based UV photodetectors with excellent transparency and flexibility for wearable UV monitoring applications.

文摘Lithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs) are increasingly recognized as promising cathode materials for nextgeneration high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).However,they suffer from voltage decay and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) due to severe structural degradation caused by irreversible O release.Herein,we introduce a three-in-one strategy of increasing Ni and Mn content,along with Li/Ni disordering and TM–O covalency regulation to boost cationic and anionic redox activity simultaneously and thus enhance the electrochemical activity of LLOs.The target material,Li_(1.2)Ni_(0.168)Mn_(0.558)Co_(0.074)O_(2)(L1),exhibits an improved ICE of 87.2%and specific capacity of 293.2 mA h g^(-1)and minimal voltage decay of less than 0.53 m V cycle-1over 300 cycles at 1C,compared to Li_(1.2)Ni_(0.13)Mn_(0.54)Co_(0.13)O_(2)(Ls)(274.4 mA h g^(-1)for initial capacity,73.8%for ICE and voltage decay of 0.84 mV/cycle over 300 cycles at 1C).Theoretical calculations reveal that the density of states (DOS) area near the Fermi energy level for L1 is larger than that of Ls,indicating higher anionic and cationic redox reactivity than Ls.Moreover,L1 exhibits increased O-vacancy formation energy due to higher Li/Ni disordering of 4.76%(quantified by X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement) and enhanced TM–O covalency,making lattice O release more difficult and thus improving electrochemical stability.The increased Li/Ni disordering also leads to more Ni^(2+)presence in the Li layer,which acts as a pillar during Li+de-embedding,improving structural stability.This research not only presents a viable approach to designing low-Co LLOs with enhanced capacity and ICE but also contributes significantly to the fundamental understanding of structural regulation in high-performance LIB cathodes.

文摘With the growing demand for compute-intensive applications such as artificial intelligence(AI)and video processing,traditional reconfigurable array processors fail to meet the requirements of high-performance computing and related domains,primarily due to their high power consumption and low energy efficiency.To address this limitation,this paper proposes an accuracy-adaptive approxi-mate reconfigurable array architecture featuring preset dual thresholds and support for four computa-tional accuracy levels,enabling flexible adaptation to diverse application needs.The architecture in-tegrates a self-adaptive mechanism that dynamically adjusts computational precision based on real-time error threshold feedback.To evaluate the proposed architecture,the you only look once version 5(YOLOv5)deep neural network algorithm is parallelized and deployed on the approximate recon-figurable array.Experimental results demonstrate that the architecture achieves an 18.93%reduc-tion in power consumption compared with conventional reconfigurable structures operating in full-pre-cision mode.Additionally,the design exhibits superior energy efficiency and reduced computational resource utilization,thereby significantly enhancing the overall performance and applicability of reconfigurable array processors in power-sensitive scenarios.

文摘The effects of niobium on the high-temperature oxidation resistance of austenitic stainless steel were systematically investigated.Two austenitic stainless steels with different Nb contents were prepared and exposed to air at 850℃for 200 h.Results show that Nb positively affects the high-temperature oxidation resistance of austenitic stainless steels.The matrix organization of austenitic stainless steels with added niobium does not change,while the austenitic grain size is significantly refined,and it also promoted the release of internal stresses in the oxide film,which in turn improved the integrity of the oxide film and adhesion to the substrate.In addition,with the addition of Nb element,a large number of Nb(C,N)particles are diffusely distributed in the matrix.Nb(C,N)phase distributed in the matrix and the niobium-rich layer formed by the diffusion of niobium into the interface between the metal matrix and the oxide film during the high-temperature oxidation process effectively prevents the diffusion of iron into the outer layer and enhances the oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
文摘BACKGROUND The occurrence of chronic pain and disability after acute orthopedic trauma is significantly correlated with psychological factors,particularly depression and anxiety.As such,assessment of these factors is crucial for postoperative rehabilitation.AIM To investigate the correlation between chronic pain,disability,and psychological factors(depression and anxiety)after acute orthopedic trauma surgery.METHODS Data from 120 patients,who underwent surgery for acute orthopedic trauma at Xi’an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital(Shaanxi Province,China)between June 2022 and June 2024,were retrospectively analyzed.Basic information and postoperative pain metrics[visual analog scale(VAS)],disability rating index(DRI),Hamilton anxiety rating scale(HAMA)and Hamilton depression rating scale(HAMD)were collected from electronic medical records.Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to examine associations between chronic pain VAS,DRI,HAMD,and HAMA scores.RESULTS Among the 120 patients[79(65.8%)males and 41(34.2%)females],postoperative VAS scores were significantly associated with HAMD and HAMA scores,with correlation coefficients of 0.625(P=0.027)and 0.568(P<0.001),respectively.Postoperative DRI scores were also significantly associated with HAMD and HAMA scores,with correlation coefficients of 0.683 and 0.557,respectively(both P<0.001).CONCLUSION Chronic pain and disability after surgery for acute orthopedic trauma are significantly correlated with psychological factors(depression and anxiety).Multidisciplinary teams should integrate mental health services to improve patient outcomes.
