Role of heterogenous microstructure and deformation behavior in achieving superior strength-ductility synergy in zinc fabricated via laser powder bed fusion

Zinc(Zn)is considered a promising biodegradable metal for implant applications due to its appropriate degradability and favorable osteogenesis properties.In this work,laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)additive manufacturing was employed to fabricate pure Zn with a heterogeneous microstructure and exceptional strength-ductility synergy.An optimized processing window of LPBF was established for printing Zn samples with relative densities greater than 99%using a laser power range of 80∼90 W and a scanning speed of 900 mm s−1.The Zn sample printed with a power of 80 W at a speed of 900 mm s−1 exhibited a hierarchical heterogeneous microstructure consisting of millimeter-scale molten pool boundaries,micrometer-scale bimodal grains,and nanometer-scale pre-existing dislocations,due to rapid cooling rates and significant thermal gradients formed in the molten pools.The printed sample exhibited the highest ductility of∼12.1%among all reported LPBF-printed pure Zn to date with appreciable ultimate tensile strength(∼128.7 MPa).Such superior strength-ductility synergy can be attributed to the presence of multiple deformation mechanisms that are primarily governed by heterogeneous deformation-induced hardening resulting from the alternative arrangement of bimodal Zn grains with pre-existing dislocations.Additionally,continuous strain hardening was facilitated through the interactions between deformation twins,grains and dislocations as strain accumulated,further contributing to the superior strength-ductility synergy.These findings provide valuable insights into the deformation behavior and mechanisms underlying exceptional mechanical properties of LPBF-printed Zn and its alloys for implant applications.

About the Optimized Design of the Parking Space on the Campus of a College

In recent years, with the large increase in the number of motor vehicles in colleges and universities and the lag in campus planning, the relative shortage of parking spaces on campus has become increasingly serious. Taking Baoding College as an example, this article analyzes the current situation of static traffic on campus and finds out the problem of parking on campus through questionnaire surveys and field surveys. Analyze the growth trend of the number of motor vehicles based on the data, use the GM (1, 1) model and the linear fitting model to predict the number of motor vehicles in the future, and determine the size and layout of the parking lot based on the campus size, functional zoning, and road layout. The big campus-based parking system planning method based on big data can effectively solve the problems of small sample data, low accuracy, and poor timeliness of traditional methods, which improves the practicability and scientificity of planning results.

The application of nanostructured transition metal sulfides as anodes for lithium ion batteries

With wide application of electric vehicles and large-scale in energy storage systems, the requirement ofsecondary batteries with higher power density and better safety gets urgent. Owing to the merits of hightheoretical capacity, relatively low cost and suitable discharge voltage, much attention has been paid tothe transition metal sulfides. Recently, a large amount of research papers have reported about the appli-cation of transition metal sulfides in lithium ion batteries. However, the practical application of transitionmetal sulfides is still impeded by their fast capacity fading and poor rate performance. More well-focusedresearches should be operated towards the commercialization of transition metal sulfides in lithium ionbatteries. In this review, recent development of using transition metal sulfides such as copper sulfides,molybdenum sulfides, cobalt sulfides, and iron sulfides as electrode materials for lithium ion batteriesis presented. In addition, the electrochemical reaction mechanisms and synthetic strategy of transitionmetal sulfides are briefly summarized. The critical issues, challenges, and perspectives providing a fur-ther understanding of the associated electrochemical processes are also discussed.

大豆细胞核雄性不育基因研究进展

雄性不育是指植物雄蕊不能正常生长和产生有活力花粉粒的现象。利用雄性不育突变体开展杂交育种工作,是快速提高作物单产的有效途径。目前,通过杂种制种已大幅度提高了水稻(Oryza sativa L.)、玉米(Zea mays L.)和小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)等作物的产量。大豆(Glycinemax(L.)Merr.)作为自花授粉作物,通过人工去雄生产杂交种子不仅困难而且经济上不可行。由于适用于杂交种生产的不育系资源短缺,目前大豆还没有实现大规模杂种优势利用。因此,快速实现大豆杂种优势利用迫切需要鉴定稳定的大豆雄性不育系统。本文总结了大豆细胞核雄性不育(genic male sterility, GMS)突变体及不育基因研究进展,同时结合拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)、水稻和玉米中已报道的细胞核雄性不育基因,从反向遗传学的角度,为大豆核雄性不育基因的鉴定提供依据。

Highly Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven Photoelectrochemical Performance of ZnO-Modified In_2S_3 Nanosheet Arrays by Atomic Layer Deposition

Photoanodes based on In_2S_3/ZnO heterojunction nanosheet arrays(NSAs) have been fabricated by atomic layer deposition of ZnO over In_2S_3 NSAs, which were in situ grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide glasses via a facile solvothermal process. The as-prepared photoanodes show dramatically enhanced performance for photoelectrochemical(PEC) water splitting, compared to single semiconductor counterparts. The optical and PEC properties of In_2S_3/ZnO NSAs have been optimized by modulating the thickness of the Zn O overlayer. After pairing with ZnO, the NSAs exhibit a broadened absorption range and an increased light absorptance over a wide wavelength region of 250–850 nm. The optimized sample of In_2S_3/ZnO-50 NSAs shows a photocurrent density of 1.642 m A cm^(-2)(1.5 V vs. RHE) and an incident photonto-current efficiency of 27.64% at 380 nm(1.23 V vs.RHE), which are 70 and 116 times higher than those of the pristine In_2S_3 NSAs, respectively. A detailed energy band edge analysis reveals the type-II band alignment of the In_2S_3/ZnO heterojunction, which enables efficient separation and collection of photogenerated carriers,especially with the assistance of positive bias potential, and then results in the significantly increased PEC activity.

Electroacupuncture promotes the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes in the injured spinal cord of adult rats

A contusive model of spinal cord injury at spinal segment T8-9 was established in rats. Huantiao （GB30） and Huatuojiaji （Ex-B05） were punctured with needles, and endogenous neural stem cells were labeled with 5-bromo-2＇-deoxyuridine （BrdU） and NG2. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that electroacupuncture markedly increased the numbers of BrdU＋/NG2＋cells at spinal cord tissue 15 mm away from the injury center in the rostral and caudal directions. The results suggest that electroacupuncture promotes the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes in rats with spinal cord injury.

Proteomic analysis of the effects of accumulated heat in the gastrointestinal tract on lipopolysaccharide-induced pneumonia in mice

Objective:To examine the effects of accumulated heat in GI tract (AHGIT) on lung tissue protein expression in pneumonic mice.Methods:Nebulized lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were administered to induce a pneumonic mouse model (M1),and a high-calorie/protein diet combined with nebulized LPS was used to induce AHGIT pneumonia (M2).Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)proteomics was applied to study lung protein expression,followed by bioinformatics analysis.Results:M1 mice developed alveolar damage with prominent septum thickening,vascular dilation,hyperaemia and infiltration of large amounts of inflammatory cells.M2 mice developed more severe pathological responses.A total of 2626 proteins were reliably identified in the lung tissue.Compared with normal mice,the M1 mice had 344 differentially expressed proteins in their lungs,which are involved in the following biological processes:response to organic substance,response to cytokine,response to external stimulus,defense response and immune system process.They are also involved in the following Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways:ECM-receptor interaction,leukocyte transendothelial migration,Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis,complement and coagulation cascades,and antigen processing and presentation.Compared with the M1 group,the M2 mice had 164 differentially expressed proteins in their lungs,including 14 upregulated and 150 downregulated proteins.These proteins are involved in the following biological processes:small molecule metabolism,ribose phosphate metabolic process,cell adhesion and biological adhesion.The relevant KEGG pathways included oxidative phosphorylation,Citrate cycle (TCA cycle),complement and coagulation cascades,and vascular smooth muscle contraction.Conclusions:AHGIT aggravated the lung inflammatory damage in the mice with LPS-induced pneumonia.It may affect the mouse substance/energy metabolism,and therefore the immune function,to aggravate the LPS-induced inflammatory damage.

Sodium decorated net-Y nanosheet for hydrogen storage and adsorption mechanism: A first-principles study

Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory(DFT),we investigate the potential hydrogen storage capacity of the Na-decorated net-Y single layer nanosheet.For double-side Na decoration,the average binding energy is 1.54 eV,which is much larger than the cohesive energy of 1.13 eV for bulk Na.A maximum of four H2 molecules can be adsorbed around each Na with average adsorption energies of 0.25–0.32 eV/H2.Also,H2 storage gravimetric of 8.85 wt%is obtained,and this meets the U.S.Department of Energy(DOE)ultimate target.These results are instrumental in seeking a promising hydrogen energy carrier.

Geomagnetic Variations Associated with Strong Earthquakes in Yunnan Area

In order to find geomagnetic anomalies associated with Ms ≥ 6.0 strong earthquakes in Yunnan area, geomagnetic harmonic wave amplitude ratios with Z, H and D components in TCH, THJ, CHX and YOS stations were analyzed. It was found that geomagnetic amplitude ratio of Yzhx experienced a trend of decrease and increase before most of strong earthquakes. Moreover, these variations in different periods were inconsistent and no similar changes appeared for Yzhy, which may relate to fault-zone conductivity variation and seismogenic structure.

Comparing the Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus of World Health Organization 2013 with 1999 in Chinese Population

INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus （GDM） was earlier defined as ＂hyperglycemia first recognized during pregnancy＂ and has more recently been described by American Diabetes Association （ADA） （2012） as diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy that is not clearly overt diabetes. The hyperglycemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes study （HAPO） demonstrated that the risk of adverse maternal,fetal,and neonatal outcomes continuously increase as a function of maternal glycemia at 24-28 weeks,even within ranges previously considered normal for pregnancy.
