Based on the hydrolysis characteristics of isopropyl titanate, a simple preparation process for the coating of carbonyl iron powder(CIP) with TiO_(2) was designed. Given the TiO2coating, the Z of the CIP@TiO_(2) composite was adjusted well by decreasing the dielectric constant. Moreover, the interfacial polarization of CIP@TiO_(2) was enhanced. Ultimately, the electromagnetic-wave (EMW) absorption property of the CIP@TiO_(2)composite was improved substantially, the minimum reflection loss reached-46.07 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth can reach 8 GHz at the composite thickness of 1.5 mm. Moreover, compared with CIP, the oxidation resistance of CIP@TiO_(2)showed remarkable improvement. The results revealed that the oxidation starting temperature of CIP@TiO_(2) as about 400℃,whereas the uncoated CIP had an oxidation starting temperature of approximately 250℃. Moreover, the largest oxidation rate temperature of CIP@TiO_(2) increased to around 550℃. This work opens up a novel strategy for the production of high-performance EMW absorbers via structural design.展开更多

Toxins can come from various sources, such as industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and household chemicals. Therefore, detecting and monitoring toxins in the environment is crucial for protecting human health and the environment. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of Hememics biosensor system in detecting environmental toxins such as Ricin and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in mixed matrixes. When Ricin and SEB are spiked into soil, chopped lettuce, tap water, milk and serum, the biosensor was able to detect these toxins, without sample processing, at a level of detection comparable to lab testing with high sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, Hememics biosensor system is designed to be network-enabled, which means that results can be transmitted to relevant agencies for quick decisions. This feature is crucial in cases where quick action is needed to prevent further contamination or exposure to harmful toxins.展开更多

The Nd and Hf isotopic systems provide potential tracers to evaluate these processes. Here we present a case where these isotopic systems are decoupled in a suite of granites from the Chinese Altai, showing a wide range of εHf(t) values(from -4.7 to +10.8) in contrast to a limited range of εNd(t) values(from -5.8 to -1.9). The zircon xenocrysts occurring frequently in these rocks show markedly negative εHf(t) values(from -34.3 to -6.5) and positive d7 Li values(from +12.5 to +18.2). We propose a model to explain the observed relationship between residual zircon and Nde Hf isotope decoupling. We suggest that the Altai granites originated from partial melting of subducted slab components under relatively low temperature conditions which aided the residual zircon from oceanic sediments to inherit and retain a significant amount of177 Hf in the source, thereby elevating the^(176) Hf/^(177) Hf ratio of the melt, and decoupling from the^(143) Nd/^(144) Nd ratio during the subsequent magmatic processes. Our study illustrates a case where sediment recycling in subduction zone contributes to decoupling of Nd and Hf isotopic systems, with former providing a more reliable estimate of the source characteristics of granitic magmas.展开更多

The annual cost of schizophrenia in China was estimated at US$2586 per patient.Aims The study has two aims:(1) to conduct a targeted literature review of the economic literature on oral ziprasidone in China, and(2) to develop an inpatient economic model that compared the cost of intramuscular ziprasidone with other regimens including electroconvulsive therapy(ECT) for the management of acute agitation in patients with schizophrenia from a hospital's perspective in China.Methods A targeted literature review was conducted using PubMed and the Chinese literature databases for studies published between January 2007 and December2017. Studies that assessed costs associated with oral ziprasidone treatment for schizophrenia in China were summarised. In the inpatient economic model,cost measures included hospital room and board,antipsychotics,ECT and medications for the management of extrapyramidal symptoms(EPS). Input for standard antipsychotic regimens and unit cost were obtained from the literature. Hospital length of stay(LOS), utilisation of ECT and incidence of EPS were derived from the literature and supplemented/validated with a survey of psychiatrists in China. Cost was presented in 2017 Chinese yuan.Results The average estimated LOS was 29 days with ziprasidone, 33 days with risperidone+benzodiazepine,32 days with olanzapine, 35 days with haloperidol and 29 days with ECT. The cost of antipsychotics was $1260 with ziprasidone, $137 with risperidone+benzodiazepine, $913 with olanzapine and $210 with haloperidol; ECT treatment costs $785. The base-case analysis suggested that higher antipsychotic cost with ziprasidone was offset by savings with shorter LOS. Using intramuscular ziprasidone for acute management was associated with a total cost of $11157, the lowest among all antipsychotic regimens($11 424 with risperidone+benzodiazepine, $11 711 with olanzapine and $11 912 with haloperidol) and slightly higher than ECT($10 606). The cost of antipsychotics and ECT accounted for 1 %-11 % of the total cost. Varying LOS between the lower and upper bounds of the 95% CI, the total cost was comparable between these regimens.Conclusions Overall, the cost for the management of acute agitation was similar between intramuscular ziprasidone and other antipsychotics. Compared with other antipsychotics, the higher medication cost of intramuscular ziprasidone can be offset by savings with shorter hospital stay. The results from this economic analysis were complementary to the findings in the published literature assessing the economic outcomes of oral ziprasidone.展开更多

The CH_3OH gas molecule is placed on the top of different phosphorene surfaces, the whole adsorption systems are fully optimized by using Vienna ab initio simulation package(VASP). The calculation results demonstrate that both pristine and heteroatomdoped phosphorene are sensitive to CH_3OH gas molecule with a moderate adsorption energy and an excellent charge transfer. Among all the investigated adsorption configurations, CH_3OH gas molecule is physically absorbed on pristine phosphorene and heteroatom-doped phosphorene. The N and O doping improve the adsorption of phosphorene with CH_3OH gas molecule, while B and C doping are almost not beneficial compared to the pristine phosphorene. The results suggest that N-doped and O-doped phosphorene are ideal candidates used for CH_3OH gas sensing.展开更多

The Nd and Hf isotopic systems provide potential tracers to evaluate these processes. Here we present a case where these isotopic systems are decoupled in a suite of granites from the Chinese Altai, showing a wide range of εHf(t) values(from -4.7 to +10.8) in contrast to a limited range of εNd(t) values(from -5.8 to -1.9).

文摘The accretion-induced collapse(AIC)scenario was proposed 40 years ago as an evolutionary end state of oxygen-neon white dwarfs(ONe WDs),linking them to the formation of neutron star(NS)systems.However,there has been no direct detection of any AIC event so far,even though there exists a lot of indirect observational evidence.Meanwhile,the evolutionary pathways resulting in NS formation through AIC are still not thoroughly investigated.In this article,we review recent studies on the two classic progenitor models of AIC events,i.e.,the single-degenerate model(including the ONe WD+MS/RG/He star channels and the CO WD+He star channel)and the double-degenerate model(including the double CO WD channel,the double ONe WD channel and the ONe WD+CO WD channel).Recent progress on these progenitor models is reviewed,including the evolutionary scenarios leading to AIC events,the initial parameter space for producing AIC events and the related objects(e.g.,the pre-AIC systems and the post-AIC systems).For the single-degenerate model,the pre-AIC systems(i.e.,the progenitor systems of AIC events)could potentially be identified as supersoft X-ray sources,symbiotics and cataclysmic variables(such as classical novae,recurrent novae,Ne novae and He novae)in the observations,whereas the post-AIC systems(i.e.,NS systems)could potentially be identified as low-/intermediate-mass X-ray binaries,and the resulting low-/intermediate-mass binary pulsars,most notably millisecond pulsars.For the double-degenerate model,the pre-AIC systems are close double WDs with short orbital periods,whereas the post-AIC systems are single isolated NSs that may correspond to a specific kind of NS with peculiar properties.We also review the predicted rates of AIC events,the mass distribution of NSs produced via AIC and the gravitational wave(GW)signals from double WDs that are potential GW sources in the Galaxy in the context of future spacebased GW detectors,such as LISA,TianQin,Taiji,etc.Recent theoretical and observational constraints on the detection of AIC events are summarized.In order to confirm the existence of the AIC process,and resolve this long-term issue presented by current stellar evolution theories,more numerical simulations and observational identifications are required.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)semiconducting tin disulfide(SnS_(2))has been widely used for optoelectronic applications.To functionalize SnS_(2) for extending its application,we investigate the stability,electronic and magnetic properties of substitutional doping by high throughput first-principles calculations.There are a lot of elements that can be doped in monolayer SnS_(2).Nonmetal in group A can introduce p-type and n-type carriers,while most metals in group A can only lead to p-type doping.Not only 3d,but also 4d and 5d transition metals in groups VB to VⅢB9 can introduce magnetism in SnS_(2),which is potentially applicable for spintronics.This study provides a comprehensive view of functionalization of SnS_(2) by substitutional doping,which will guide further experimental realization.

文摘Accretion induced collapse(AIC)may be responsible for the formation of some interesting neutron star binaries(e.g.,millisecond pulsars,intermediate-mass binary pulsars,etc).It has been suggested that oxygen-neon white dwarfs(ONe WDs)can increase their mass to the Chandrasekhar limit by multiple He-shell flashes,leading to AIC events.However,the properties of He-shell flashes on the surface of ONe WDs are still not well understood.In this article,we aim to study He-shell flashes on the surface of ONe WDs in a systematic approach.We investigated the long-term evolution of ONe WDs accreting He-rich material with various constant mass-accretion rates by time-dependent calculations with the stellar evolution code Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics(MESA),in which the initial ONe WD masses range from 1.1 to 1.35 M_(⊙).We found that the mass-retention efficiency increases with the ONe WD mass and the mass-accretion rate,whereas both the nova cycle duration and the ignition mass decrease with the ONe WD mass and the mass-accretion rate.We also present the nuclear products in different accretion scenarios.The results presented in this article can be used in the future binary population synthesis studies of AIC events.

文摘Fault-related resonance frequency band extraction-based demodulation methods are widely used for bearing diagnostics.However,due to the high peaks of strong gear meshing interference,the classical band selection methods have poor performance and cannot work well for bearing fault type detection.As such,the CVRgram-based bearing fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper.In the proposed method,inspired by the conditional variance(CV)index and root mean square(RMS),a novel index,named the CV/root mean square(CVR),is first proposed.The CVR index has high robustness for the interference of non-Gaussian or Gaussian noise and has the ability to determine the center frequency of the weak bearing fault-related resonance frequency band under strong interference.Secondly,motived by the Kurtogram,the CVRgram algorithm is developed for adaptively determining the optimal filtering parameters.Finally,the CVRgram-based bearing fault diagnosis method under strong gear meshing interference is proposed.The performance of the CVRgram-based method is verified by both the simulation signal and the experiment signal.The comparison analysis with the Kurtogram,Protrugram,and CVgram-based method shows that the proposed technique has a much better ability for bearing fault detection under strong noise interference.

文摘With the development of the miniaturization of electronic equipment and lightweight weapon equipment,there are new requirements for electromagnetic wave absorption material(EMWAM).EMWAM has outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption properties and lightweight characteristics become an important direction of research.In this study,graphene/g-C_(3)N_(4)(GGCN)EMWAM was first synthesized in situ by simple heat treatment,in which the g-C_(3)N_(4) had a porous structure and dispersed on the surface of graphene.The impedance matching of the GGCN was well adjusted by decreasing the dielectric constant and attenuation constant due to the g-C_(3)N_(4) semiconductor property and the graphite-like structure.The EMW loss mechanism of GGCN was also analyzed by simulating GGCN’s electric field mode distribution and resistance loss power density.The analysis result shows that the distribution of g-C_(3)N_(4) among GGCN sheets can produce more polarization effects and relaxation effects by increasing the lamellar spacing.Furthermore,the polarization loss of GGCN could be increased successfully by porous g-C_(3)N_(4).Ultimately,the EMW absorption property of GGCN is optimized significantly,and GGCN exhibits excellent EMW absorption performance.When the thickness is 2 mm,the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)can reach 4.6 GHz,and when the thickness is 4.5 mm,the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)at 4.56 GHz can reach-34.69 dB.Moreover,the practical application of EMWAM was studied by radar cross-section(RCS)simulation,showing that GGCN has a good application prospect.

文摘With the further requirements of electronic products and powered vehicles,the development of a new generation with low-voltage and high-capacity anode materials is crucial for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).Transition metal phosphides,especially cobalt phosphide(CoP)composites,have become a research hotspot for LIBs anode materials in recent years due to their high theoretical specific capacity,low polarization,and suitable voltage plateau.This review first systematically discusses the lithium storage mechanism and preparation methods of CoP in current research.Subsequently,the applications of CoP anode materials in LIBs are categorically reviewed,including the composites of CoP with various types of carbon materials and heterostructures.Finally,the challenges and future development directions of CoP anode materials are summarized to provide guidance for further improving the lithium storage performance of CoP and its practical applications.

文摘The research purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of the baffle plate on the airflow in the rear cavity of the centrifugal impeller and optimize the performance of the secondary air system’s air bleed section.In this paper,a comprehensive experimental study was carried out on the flow characteristics in the impeller rear cavity with baffle plate.The windage torque,flow structure and pressure drop between inlet and outlet were measured respectively.The experiment was carried out with the condition that the range of rotational Reynolds number was from 8.33×10^(5)to 22.2×10^(5)and the range of mass flow rate coefficient was from 0.92×10^(4)to 2.92×10^(4).The results show that the static cavity and the narrow stator-rotor cavity formed by the baffle plate effectively suppress the overall swirl coefficient in the cavity.Thus,the static pressure and total pressure drop in the rotor-stator cavity were reduced.The influence of the baffle plate on the windage torque of the rotary disk is related to the turbulence parameters.Under large turbulence parameters,the windage torque would be reduced with baffle plate,while under small turbulence parameters,the baffle plate would increase with baffle plate.In general,the baffle plate can improve the flow capacity and optimize the bleed air performance with proper structure and operation conditions.

文摘As a potential cancer immunotherapeutic agent,chlorogenic acid(CHA)has entered phase II clinical trials in China as a lyophilized powder formulation for treating glioma.However,the in vivo instability of CHA necessitates daily intramuscular injections,resulting in patient noncompliance.In this study,CHA-phospholipid complex(PC)-containing PEGylated liposomes(CHA-PC PEG-Lipo,named as CPPL),with CHA-PC as the drug intermediate,were prepared to lower the administration frequency.CPPL demonstrated excellent physicochemical properties,enhanced tumor accumulation,and inhibited tumor growth even when the administration interval was prolonged to 4 days when compared to a CHA solution and CHA-PC loaded liposomes(CHA-PC Lipo,labeled as CPL),both of which only demonstrated antitumor efficacy with once-daily administration.Further evaluation of the in vivo antitumor immune mechanism suggested that the extended antitumor immune efficacy of CPPL could be attributed to its distinct immune-stimulating mechanism when compared with CHA solution and CPL,such as stimulating both CD4+and CD8+T cell infiltration,inhibiting myeloid-derived suppressor cell expression,reducing the expression of Th2 related factors,and notably,increasing the memory T cells in tumor tissues.This CHA-containing formulation could reduce the frequency of in vivo CHA administration during cancer treatment via T cells,especially memory T cell regulation.

文摘First-principles calculations based on van der Waals(vdW) corrected density functional theory(DFT) are firstly employed to investigate the adsorption of methanol(CH_3OH) gas molecule on pristine and Xdoped phosphorene( =B, C, N and O). The CH_3OH gas molecule is placed on the top of different phosphorene surfaces, the whole adsorption systems are fully optimized by using Vienna ab initio simulation package(VASP). The calculation results demonstrate that both pristine and heteroatomdoped phosphorene are sensitive to CH_3OH gas molecule with a moderate adsorption energy and an excellent charge transfer. Among all the investigated adsorption configurations, CH_3OH gas molecule is physically absorbed on pristine phosphorene and heteroatom-doped phosphorene. The N and O doping improve the adsorption of phosphorene with CH_3OH gas molecule, while B and C doping are almost not beneficial compared to the pristine phosphorene. The results suggest that N-doped and O-doped phosphorene are ideal candidates used for CH_3OH gas sensing.

文摘Disease progression prediction and therapeutic drug target discovery for Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)are particularly important,as there is still no effective strategy for severe COVID-19 patient treatment.Herein,we performed multi-platform omics analysis of serial plasma and urine samples collected from patients during the course of COVID-19.Integrative analyses of these omics data revealed several potential therapeutic targets,such as ANXA1 and CLEC3B.Molecular changes in plasma indicated dysregulation of macrophage and suppression of T cell functions in severe patients compared to those in non-severe patients.Further,we chose 25 important molecular signatures as potential biomarkers for the prediction of disease severity.The prediction power was validated using corresponding urine samples and plasma samples from new COVID-19 patient cohort,with AUC reached to 0.904 and 0.988,respectively.In conclusion,our omics data proposed not only potential therapeutic targets,but also biomarkers for understanding the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19.

文摘Natural fractures,as the main flow channels and important storage spaces,have significant effects on the migration,distribution,and accumulation of tight oil.According to outcrop,core,formation micro image(FMI),cast-thin-section,and scanning electron microscopy data from the tight reservoir within the Permian Lucaogou Formation of the Junggar Basin,tectonic fractures are prevalent in this formation mainly on micro to large scale.There are two types of fractures worth noticing:diagenetic fractures and overpressure-related fractures,primarily at micro to medium scale.The diagenetic fractures consist of bedding fractures,stylolites,intragranular fractures,grain-boundary fractures,and diagenetic shrinkage fractures.Through FMI interpretation and Monte Carlo method evaluation,the macro-fractures could be considered as migration channels,and the micro-fractures as larger pore throats that function as storage spaces.The bedding fractures formed earlier than all tectonic fractures,while the overpressure-related fractures formed in the Middle and Late Jurassic.The bedding fractures and stylolites function as the primary channels for horizontal migration of tight oil.The tectonic fractures can provide vertical migration channels and reservoir spaces for tight oil,and readjust the tight oil distribution.The overpressure-related fractures are fully filled with calcite,and hence,have little effect on hydrocarbon migration and storage capacity.The data on tight oil production shows that the density and aperture of fractures jointly determine the productivity of a tight reservoir.
