Enhancing constitutive description and workability characterization of Mg alloy during hot deformation using machine learning-based Arrhenius-type model

Hot deformation is a commonly employed processing technique to enhance the ductility and workability of Mg alloy.However,the hot deformation of Mg alloy is highly sensitive to factors such as temperature,strain rate,and strain,leading to complex flow behavior and an exceptionally narrow processing window for Mg alloy.To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional Arrhenius-type(AT)model,this study developed machine learning-based Arrhenius-type(ML-AT)models by combining the genetic algorithm(GA),particle swarm optimization(PSO),and artificial neural network(ANN).Results indicated that when describing the flow behavior of the AQ80 alloy,the PSO-ANN-AT model demonstrates the most prominent prediction accuracy and generalization ability among all ML-AT and AT models.Moreover,an activation energy-processing(AEP)map was established using the reconstructed flow stress and activation energy fields based on the PSO-ANN-AT model.Experimental validations revealed that this AEP map exhibits superior predictive capability for microstructure evolution compared to the one established by the traditional interpolation methods,ultimately contributing to the precise determination of the optimum processing window.These findings provide fresh insights into the accurate constitutive description and workability characterization of Mg alloy during hot deformation.

Open AccessComplex role of neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment:an avenue for novel immunotherapies

Neutrophils,which originate from the bone marrow and are characterized by a segmented nucleus and a brief lifespan,have a crucial role in the body’s defense against infections and acute inflammation.Recent research has uncovered the complex roles of neutrophils as regulators in tumorigenesis,during which neutrophils exhibit a dualistic nature that promotes or inhibits tumor progression.This adaptability is pivotal within the tumor microenvironment(TME).In this review,we provide a comprehensive characterization of neutrophil plasticity and heterogeneity,aiming to illuminate current research findings and discuss potential therapeutic avenues.By delineating the intricate interplay of neutrophils in the TME,this review further underscores the urgent need to understand the dual functions of neutrophils with particular emphasis on the anti-tumor effects to facilitate the development of effective therapeutic strategies against cancer.

Automatic recognition of tweek atmospherics and plasma diagnostics in the lower ionosphere with the machine learning method

Tweek atmospherics are extremely low frequency and very low frequency pulse signals with frequency dispersion characteristics that originate from lightning discharges and that propagate in the Earth–ionosphere waveguide over long distances.In this study,we developed an automatic method to recognize tweek atmospherics and diagnose the lower ionosphere based on the machine learning method.The differences(automatic−manual)in each ionosphere parameter between the automatic method and the manual method were−0.07±2.73 km,0.03±0.92 cm^(−3),and 91±1,068 km for the ionospheric reflection height(h),equivalent electron densities at reflection heights(Ne),and propagation distance(d),respectively.Moreover,the automatic method is capable of recognizing higher harmonic tweek sferics.The evaluation results of the model suggest that the automatic method is a powerful tool for investigating the long-term variations in the lower ionosphere.

Inferior vena cava thrombosis in two adult patients with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO) is indicated in patients with severe cardiogenic shock.During extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) use,systemic anticoagulation is generally used to ensure the normal functioning of ECMO.Hemorrhage and thrombosis are two important complications of ECMO.However,despite adequate anticoagulation,some patients still experience thrombosis,such as inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT),after the removal of ECMO.^([1,2])A metaanalysis showed that the incidence of venous thrombosis during ECMO treatment is approximately 10%,^([3])but IVCT is rarely reported.We report two cases of IVCT after the removal of VA-ECMO cannulas.

Cross-sectional study of the educational background and trauma knowledge of trainees in the “China trauma care training” program

Background:Since the trauma knowledge of trauma providers correlates with the outcomes of injured patients,this study aims to assess the socio-demographic characteristics and levels of trauma knowledge of trainees in the China trauma care training(CTCT)program in addition to their post-course test results to provide support for the development of trauma care training programs and trauma systems in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting demographic information,hospital-related information and trauma knowledge of the trainees from 19 regions in China.All participants were assessed by questionnaires collecting the socio-demographic data,the trauma care knowledge levels and the information of the hospitals.Results:There were 955 males(78.9%)and 256 females(21.1%)enrolled.Among them,854 were physicians(70.5%),357 were registered nurses(29.5%).In addition,64 of them also played an administrative role in the hospitals(5.3%).The score of the trainees who were members of the emergency department staff(72.59±14.13)was the highest among the scores of all the personnel surveyed,followed by those of the trainees from the intensive care unit(ICU)(71.17±12.72),trauma surgery department(67.26±13.81),orthopedics department(70.36±14.48),general surgery department(69.91±14.79)and other departments(69.93±16.91),P=0.031.The score of the professors(73.09±15.05)was higher than those of the associate professors(72.40±14.71),lecturers(70.07±14.25)and teaching assistants(67.58±15.16),P<0.0001.The score of the individuals who attended experts’trauma lectures(72.22±14.45)was higher than that of individuals who did not attend the lectures(69.33±15.17),P=0.001.The mean scores before and after the training were 71.02±14.82 and 84.24±13.77,respectively,P<0.001.The mean score of trauma knowledge after the training of trainees from different provinces and with different educational backgrounds was higher than that before the training,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusions:The level of trauma knowledge of trauma care providers was associated with their department,professional position and previous participation in related academic conferences.Trauma care experience and participation in academic lectures and training program including CTCT may effectively improve individuals’level of trauma knowledge.

Network correlation between investor’s herding behavior and overconfidence behavior

It is generally accepted that herding behavior and overconfidence behavior are unrelated or even mutually exclusive.However,these behaviors can both lead to some similar market anomalies,such as excessive trading volume and volatility in the stock market.Due to the limitation of traditional time series analysis,we try to study whether there exists network relevance between the investor’s herding behavior and overconfidence behavior based on the complex network method.Since the investor’s herding behavior is based on market trends and overconfidence behavior is based on past performance,we convert the time series data of market trends into a market network and the time series data of the investor’s past judgments into an investor network.Then,we update these networks as new information arrives at the market and show the weighted in-degrees of the nodes in the market network and the investor network can represent the herding degree and the confidence degree of the investor,respectively.Using stock transaction data of Microsoft,US S&P 500 stock index,and China Hushen 300 stock index,we update the two networks and find that there exists a high similarity of network topological properties and a significant correlation of node parameter sequences between the market network and the investor network.Finally,we theoretically derive and conclude that the investor’s herding degree and confidence degree are highly related to each other when there is a clear market trend.

Performance evaluation of the effect of humic acid on Anammox granular sludge:Apparent morphology,nitrogen removal and microbial community

Humic acid(HA)is a typical refractory organicmatter,so it is of great significance to investigate its effect on the performance of Anammox granular sludge.When the dosage ofHA≤50 mg/L,HA promotes the total nitrogen removal rate(NRR)to 1.45 kg/(m^(3)·day).When HA was between 50 and 100 mg/L,the NRR of Anammox was stable.At this time,the adsorption of HA causes the sludge to gradually turn fromred to brown,but the activities of heme and enzymes showed that its capacitywas not affected.When HA levels reached 250 mg/L,the NRR dropped to 0.11 kg/(m^(3)·day).Moderate HA levels promoted the release of extracellular polymeric substance(EPS),but excessive HA levels lead to a decrease in EPS concentrations.HA inhibited Anammox activity,which indirectly hindered the transmission of substrate and accumulated substrate toxicity.Although HA promoted the increase of heterotrophicmicrobial abundance in Anammox system,the microbial diversity decreased gradually.With the increase of HA concentration,the abundance of Candidatus_Brocadia,the main functional microorganism of Anammox system,decreased gradually,while the abundance of Candidatus_Kuenenia increased gradually.

Preparation of tungsten-particle-reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glass composites by two-step spark plasma sintering:microstructure evolution,densification mechanism and mechanical properties

A new two-step spark plasma sintering(TSS)process with low-temperature pre-sintering and high-temperature final sintering has been successfully applied to prepare the tungsten-particle(Wp)-reinforced bulk metallic glass composites(Wp/BMGCs).Compared to normal spark plasma sintering(NS),the densification rate and relative density of Wp/BMGCs can be improved by selecting TSS with appropriate sintering pressure in the low temperature pre-sintering stage.However,the compressive strength and plastic strain of 30%Wp/BMGCs prepared by TSS are both higher than those of the samples prepared by NS.The TSS process can significantly enhance the compressive strength of 30%Wp/BMGCs by 12%and remarkably increase the plastic strain by 50%,while the trend is completely opposite for 50%Wp/BMGCs.Quasi-in situ experiments and finite element simulations reveal that uneven temperature distribution among particles during low-temperature pre-sintering causes local overheating at contact points between particles,accelerating formation of sintering neck between particles and plastic deformation of Wp.When the volume fraction of Wp is low,TSS can improve the interface bonding between particles by increasing the number of sintering necks.This makes the fracture mode of Wp/BMGCs being predominantly transgranular fracture.However,as the volume fraction of Wp increases,the adverse effects of Wp plastic deformation are becoming more and more prominent.The aggregated Wp tends to form a solid"cage structure"that hinders the bonding between particles at the interface;correspondingly,the fracture behavior of Wp/BMGCs is mainly dominated by intergranular fracture.Additionally,reducing the sintering pressure during the low-temperature pre-sintering stage of TSS has been shown to effectively decrease plastic deformation in Wp,resulting in a higher degree of densification and better mechanical properties.

Background：This study aimed to evaluate the effects of standard rescue procedure （SRP） in improving severe trauma treatments in China.Methods：This study was conducted in 12 hospitals located in geographically and industrially different cities in China.A standard procedure on severe trauma rescue was established as a general rule for staff training and patient treatment.A regional network （system） efficiently integrating prehospital rescue,emergency room treatments,and hospital specialist treatments was built under the rule for information sharing and improving severe trauma treatments.Treatment outcomes were compared between before and I year after the implementation of the SRP.Results：The outcomes of a total of 74,615 and 12,051 trauma cases were collected from 12 hospitals before and after the implementation of the SRP.Implementation of the SRP led to efficient cooperation and information sharing of different treatment services.The emergency response time,prehospital transit time,emergency rescue time,consultation call time,and mortality rate of patients were 24.24 ± 4.32 min,45.69 ± 3.89 min,6.38 ± 1.05 min,17.53 ± 0.72 min,and 33.82% ± 3.87% （n =441）,respectively,before the implementation of the standardization and significantly reduced to 10.11 ± 3.21 min,22.39 ± 4.32 min,3.26 ± 0.89 min,3.45 ± 0.45 min,and 20.49% ± 3.11%,separately （n =495,P 〈 0.05） after that.Conclusions：Staff training and SRP can significantly improve the efficiency of severe trauma treatments in China.

Value of lung ultrasound score for evaluation of blast lung injury in goats

Purpose:To establish a severe blast lung injury model of goats and investigate the feasibility of lung ultrasonic score in the evaluation of blast lung injury.Methods:Twenty female healthy goats were randomly divided into three groups by different driving pressures:4.0 MPa group(n=4),4.5 MPa group(n=12)and 5.0 MPa group(n=4).The severe blast lung injury model of goats was established using a BST-I bio-shock tube.Vital signs(respiration,heart rate and blood pressure),lung ultrasound score(LUS),PO2/FiO2 and extravascular lung water(EVLW)were measured before injury(0 h)and at 0.5 h,3 h,6 h,9 h,12 h after injury.Computed tomography scan was performed before injury(0 h)and at 12 h after injury for dynamic monitoring of blast lung injury and measurement of lung volume.The correlation of LUS with PaO2/FiO2,EVLW,and lung injury ratio(lesion volume/total lung volume*100%)was analyzed.All animals were sacrificed at 12 h after injury for gross observation of lung injury and histopathological examination.Statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS 22.0 software.The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation.The means of two samples were compared using independent-sample t-test.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted.Results:(1)At 12 h after injury,the mortality of goats was 0,41.67% and 100%in the 4.0 Mpa,4.5 MPa and 5.0 MPa groups,respectively;the area of pulmonary hemorrhage was 20.00%±13.14% in the 4.0 Mpa group and 42.14%±15.33% in the 4.5 MPa group.A severe lung shock injury model was established under the driving pressure of 4.5 MPa.(2)The respiratory rate,heart rate,LUS and EVLW were significantly increased,while PaO2/FiO2 was significantly reduced immediately after injury,and then they gradually recovered and became stabilized at 3 h after injury.(3)LUS was positively correlated with EVLW(3 h:r=-0.597,6 h:r=-0.698,9 h:r=-0.729;p<0.05)and lung injury ratio(12 h:r=-0.884,p<0.05),negatively correlated with PaO2/FiO2(3 h:r=-0.871,6 h:r=-0.637,9 h:r=-0.658;p<0.05).Conclusion:We established a severe blast lung injury model of goats using the BST-I bio-shock tube under the driving pressure of 4.5 MPa and confirmed that ultrasound can be used for quick evaluation and dynamic monitoring of blast lung injury.

Thermoplastic micro-formability of TiZrHfNiCuBe high entropy metallic glass

High entropy metallic glasses（MGs） have attracted tremendous attentions owing to high entropy that benefits the probing of new MG-forming systems. However, the micro-formability of high entropy MGs is lack of investigation in comparison with these conventional MG counterparts, which is crucial to the development of this kind of metallic alloys. In this work, the thermoplastic mciro-formability of TiZrHfNiCuBe high entropy MG was systemically investigated. Time-Temperature-Transformation（TTT）curve was first constructed based on isothermal crystallization experiments, which provides thermoplastic processing time of the supercooled high entropy MGs. By comparison with the deformation map,Newtonian flow was found beneficial to the thermoplastic formability. While the thermoplastic forming becomes arduous with reducing mould size to tens micrometer, because of the strong supercooled TiZrHfNiCuBe high entropy MG（fragility = 27）. Fortunately, the micro-formability of TiZrHfNiCuBe high entropy MG could be improved by vibration loading, as demonstrated by finite-element-method simulation. Our findings not only systemically evaluate the thermoplastic micro-formability of high entropy MG, but also provide fundamental understanding of the phenomenon.
