In this paper, six impellers with blade outlet backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and 50° were designed to evaluate the influences of impeller backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> on the performance, characteristics of gas flow and equivalent stress using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). Results indicated that the performance curve for the outlet backsweep blade angle β<sub>2B</sub> of 50° has the largest stable operating range. The isentropic efficiency of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 40° is 16.8% - 25.9% higher than that of the impeller with backsweep angle β<sub>2B</sub> equal to 0°. When the blade outlet backsweep angle is 30°, the equivalent stress distribution of the impeller is more uniform, the maximum equivalent stress is the smallest.展开更多

Both heat transfer and flux distribution characteristics of the nozzle sprays on the slab were considered, and the complicated boundary conditions, such as spray cooling, natural convection, thermal radiation as well as contact cooling of individual rolls were involved in the model. By using the calibrated caster dependent model factors, the calculated temperature and shell thickness accorded well with the measured. Furthermore, a dynamic secondary water cooling control system was also developed on the basis of a two-dimensional transient heat transfer model (named "online model") and incremental PID control algorithm to reduce slab surface temperature fluctuation in unsteady state. Compared with the traditional spray table control method, the present online model and dynamic PID control demonstrate a higher capability and flexibility to adjust cooling water flowrate and reduce slab surface temperature fluctuation when the casting speed is changed.展开更多

Pt-based single atom alloy catalysts(SAAC) with water dissociation sites have been demonstrated as excellent alkaline HER catalysts. However, the regulation of their activity and stability at the atomic scale is still a great challenge. Herein, the kinetic and stability issues are successfully resolved via engineering the electronic structure of Pt-Co SAAC by Au-induced tensile strain. The atomic dispersion of Co into the Pt shell was confirmed by extended X-ray absorption fine structure and the electronic structure and catalytic HER performance was modulated by the tensile strain induced by the Pt shell thickness. An inverse volcano-type relation between HER activity and surface strain was found.Density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that the Au-induced tensile strain on Pt-Co shell can not only boost the adsorption and dissociation kinetics of water at Co site by upshifting the dband and promoting the electron transfer, but also downshift the d-band center of Pt in Pt-Co shell, leading to optimized H* adsorption/desorption. The champion catalyst provides an overpotential of only 14 m V at the current density of 10 mA cm^(-2). This work not only provides an effective strategy for the construction of single-atom alloy electrocatalysts for high performance toward alkaline HER but also sheds light on the understanding of the reaction mechanism at the atomic level.展开更多

It has also been developed into a series of powerful gene‐editing tools. As the natural inhibitors of CRISPR‐Cas systems, anti‐CRISPRs (Acrs) can be used as the “off‐switch” for CRISPR‐Cas systems to limit the off‐target effects caused by Cas9. Since the discovery of CRISPR‐Cas systems, much research has focused on the identification, mechanisms and applications of Acrs. In light of the rapid development and scientific significance of this field, this review summarizes the history and research status of Acrs, and considers future applications.展开更多

Rapid pyrolysis of oil shale in fluidized bed(FB) obtained shale oil yield higher than the Fischer Assay oil yield at temperatures of 500-600 ℃. The highest yield was 12.7 wt% at 500 ℃ and was about1.3 times of the Fischer Assay oil yield. The heavy fraction(boiling point > 350 ℃) in shale oil at all temperatures from rapid pyrolysis was above 50%. Adding an upper FB of secondary cracking over oil shale char caused the loss of shale oil but improved its quality. Heavy fraction yield decreased significantly and almost disappeared at temperatures above 550 ℃, while the corresponding light fraction(boiling point < 350 ℃) yield dramatically increased. In terms of achieving high light fraction yield, the optimal pyrolysis and also secondary cracking temperatures in TSFB were 600 ℃, at which the shale oil yield decreased by 17.74% but its light fraction yield of 7.07 wt% increased by 86.11% in comparison with FB pyrolysis. The light fraction yield was higher than that of Fischer Assay at all cases in TSFB. Thus, a rapid pyrolysis of oil shale combined with volatile upgrading was important for producing high-quality shale oil with high yield as well.展开更多

The levels of serum Cys C, BNP of the patients in the 3 groups were detected on 0 h, 24 h, 3 d and 7 d after admission respectively. Pearson correlation analysis of the levels of serum Cys C, BNP and ISS.Results: There were no significant differences in the levels of serum Cys C, BNP on 0 hours between the three groups;There were no significant differences in the levels of serum Cys C, BNP on 0 h, 24 h, 3 d and 7 d in minor trauma group;The levels of serum Cys C, BNP on 24 h, 3 d and 7 d were all higher than those of 0 h in severe trauma group, and the levels of serum Cys C on 3 d and 7 d were both higher than those of 24 h;The levels of serum Cys C, BNP on 24 h, 3 d and 7 d were all higher than those of 0 h in critical trauma group, the levels of serum Cys C, BNP on 3 d and 7 d were both higher than those of 24 h, and the levels of serum Cys C on 7 d were higher than those of 3 d;The levels of serum Cys C, BNP in severe trauma and critical trauma groups were significantly higher compared with minor trauma group on 24 h, 3 d and 7 d. Pearson correlation analysis, the level of serum Cys C were positively correlated with ISS, the level of serum BNP were positively correlated with ISS.Conclusion:Different levels of traumatic patients had different levels of serum Cys C, BNP increased at different times. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the levels of serum Cys C, BNP were both positively correlated with traumatic severity, which suggested that the levels of serum Cys C, BNP may be important indicators of traumatic severity and could provide important reference value for clinical evaluation of traumatic severity.展开更多

Pt-based single atom alloy catalysts(SAAC) with water dissociation sites have been demonstrated as excellent alkaline HER catalysts. However, the regulation of their activity and stability at the atomic scale is still a great challenge. Herein, the kinetic and stability issues are successfully resolved via engineering the electronic structure of Pt-Co SAAC by Au-induced tensile strain. The atomic dispersion of Co into the Pt shell was confirmed by extended X-ray absorption fine structure and the electronic structure and catalytic HER performance was modulated by the tensile strain induced by the Pt shell thickness. An inverse volcano-type relation between HER activity and surface strain was found.Density functional theory(DFT) calculations reveal that the Au-induced tensile strain on Pt-Co shell can not only boost the adsorption and dissociation kinetics of water at Co site by upshifting the dband and promoting the electron transfer, but also downshift the d-band center of Pt in Pt-Co shell, leading to optimized H* adsorption/desorption. The champion catalyst provides an overpotential of only 14 m V at the current density of 10 mA cm^(-2). This work not only provides an effective strategy for the construction of single-atom alloy electrocatalysts for high performance toward alkaline HER but also sheds light on the understanding of the reaction mechanism at the atomic level.
文摘BACKGROUND Multiple rice bodies in the wrist is a rare disorder that requires surgery,and there are still many uncertainties regarding its diagnosis and treatment.CASE SUMMARY We described a rare case of chronic idiopathic tenosynovitis with rice bodies of the wrist in a 71-year-old man and reviewed similar topics in the literature.A total of 43 articles and 61 cases were included in the literature review.Our case had a usual presentation:it was similar to those in the literature.The affected population was mainly older adults,with an average age of 59.43(range,3 to 90)years.The male-to-female ratio was 1.54:1(37/24).Most of them showed limited swelling and pain,only 23.0%had carpal tunnel symptoms,and the average disease duration was 18.03(0.5-60)mo.Wrist flexor tendon sheath involvement was the most common(95.1%,58/61),and only 3 cases had extensor tendon sheath involvement.The main causes were tuberculosis(34.4%,21/61),nontuberculous mycobacteria(24.6%,15/61),idiopathic tenosynovitis(31.1%,19/61),and others(9.84%,6/61).There were 10 patients with recurrences;in 6 of them,were due to non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections.CONCLUSION We reported a case of wrist idiopathic tenosynovitis with rice body formation,and established a clinical management algorithm for wrist tenosynovitis with rice bodies,which can provide some reference for our clinical diagnosis and treatment.The symptoms of rice-body bursitis of the wrist are insidious,nonspecific,and difficult to identify.The aetiology is mainly idiopathic tenosynovitis and mycobacterial(tuberculosis or non-tuberculous)infections;the latter are difficult to treat and require long-duration systemic combination antibiotic therapies.Therefore,before a diagnosis of idiopathic tenosynovitis is made,we must exclude other causes,especially mycobacterial infections.

文摘Developing Earth-abundant,highly efficient,and anticorrosion electrocatalysts to boost the oxygen evolution reaction(OER),oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) for the Zn–air battery(ZAB) and for overall water splitting is imperative.In this study,a novel process starting with Cu2O cubes was developed to fabricate hollow NixCo1-xSe nanocages as trifunctional electrocatalysts for the OER,ORR,and HER and a reasonable formation mechanism was proposed.The Ni0.2Co0.8Se nanocages exhibited higher OER activity than its counterparts with the low overpotential of 280 mV at 10 mA cm-2.It also outperformed the other samples in the HER test with a low overpotential of 73 mV at 10 mA cm-2.As an air–cathode of a self-assembled rechargeable ZAB,it exhibited good performance,such as an ultralong cycling lifetime of > 50 h,a high round-trip efficiency of 60.86%,and a high power density of 223.5 mW cm-2.For the application in self-made all-solid-state ZAB,it also demonstrated excellent performance with a power density of 41.03 mW cm-2 and an open-circuit voltage of 1.428 V.In addition,Ni0.2Co0.8Se nanocages had superior performance in a practical overall water splitting,in which only 1.592 V was needed to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2.These results show that hollow NixCo1-xSe nanocages with an optimized Ni-to-Co ratio are a promising cost-effective and high-efficiency electrocatalyst for ZABs and overall water splitting in alkaline solutions.

文摘CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)‐Cas (CRISPR associated protein) systems serve as the adaptive immune system by which prokaryotes defend themselves against phages. It has also been developed into a series of powerful gene‐editing tools. As the natural inhibitors of CRISPR‐Cas systems, anti‐CRISPRs (Acrs) can be used as the “off‐switch” for CRISPR‐Cas systems to limit the off‐target effects caused by Cas9. Since the discovery of CRISPR‐Cas systems, much research has focused on the identification, mechanisms and applications of Acrs. In light of the rapid development and scientific significance of this field, this review summarizes the history and research status of Acrs, and considers future applications.

文摘Rapid pyrolysis of oil shale coupled with in-situ upgrading of pyrolysis volatiles over oil shale char was studied in a laboratory two-stage fluidized bed(TSFB) to clarify the shale oil yield and quality and their variations with operating conditions. Rapid pyrolysis of oil shale in fluidized bed(FB) obtained shale oil yield higher than the Fischer Assay oil yield at temperatures of 500-600 ℃. The highest yield was 12.7 wt% at 500 ℃ and was about1.3 times of the Fischer Assay oil yield. The heavy fraction(boiling point > 350 ℃) in shale oil at all temperatures from rapid pyrolysis was above 50%. Adding an upper FB of secondary cracking over oil shale char caused the loss of shale oil but improved its quality. Heavy fraction yield decreased significantly and almost disappeared at temperatures above 550 ℃, while the corresponding light fraction(boiling point < 350 ℃) yield dramatically increased. In terms of achieving high light fraction yield, the optimal pyrolysis and also secondary cracking temperatures in TSFB were 600 ℃, at which the shale oil yield decreased by 17.74% but its light fraction yield of 7.07 wt% increased by 86.11% in comparison with FB pyrolysis. The light fraction yield was higher than that of Fischer Assay at all cases in TSFB. Thus, a rapid pyrolysis of oil shale combined with volatile upgrading was important for producing high-quality shale oil with high yield as well.

文摘The high-strength low-alloy steel plates with varying Ni/Mo contents were manufactured using the thermos-mechanical control process.The investigation was conducted to explore the effect of Ni/Mo microalloying on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the steel.The results revealed that the increase in Ni content from 1 to 2 wt.%reduced the transition temperature of ferrite and the growth range of ferritic grain was narrowed,which promoted grain refinement.The optimized combination of grain size,high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs),and martensite-austenite(M-A)islands parameter contributed to the excellent impact toughness of S1 steel at-100℃(impact absorbed energy of 218.2 J at-100℃).As the Mo increases from 0 to 2 wt.%,the matrix structure changes from multiphase structure to granular bainite,which increases the average effective grain size to~4.62 pm and reduces HAGBs proportion to~36.22%.With these changes,the low-temperature impact toughness of S3 steel is weakened.In addition,based on the analysis of the characteristics of crack propagation path,it was found that M-A islands with low content(~2.21%)and small size(~1.76 pm)significantly retarded crack propagation,and the fracture model of M-A islands with different morphologies was further proposed.Furthermore,correlation between behaviour of delamination and toughness was further analysed by observing delamination size and impact energy parameters.
