Physical Prediction Model of Compound Hydrodynamic Unload-Load Response Ratio and Its Application in Reservoir Colluvium Landslide

It is well known that the deformation and damage of reservoir colluvium landslides are often determined by the combined dynamics of reservoir water level change and rainfall.Based on the systematic analysis of the change law of reservoir water level,rainfall and displacements of reservoir colluvium landslide,this paper proposes the compound hydrodynamic action of rainfall and reservoir water as the unload-load parameter,and the landslide displacement as the unload-load response parameter.Based on this,a physical prediction model of the compound hydrodynamic unload-load response ratio of reservoir colluvium landslide was established,and the quantitative relationship between the compound hydrodynamic unload-load response ratio and its stability evolution was in-depth analyzed and determined.On the basis of the above research,taking Shuping landslide,a typical hydrodynamic pressure landslide as an example,the unload-load response ratio model is used to systematically evaluate and predict the stability evolution law and the change trend of the landslide under compound hydrodynamic action.The prediction result shows that the variation law of the compound hydrodynamic unload-load response ratio is consistent with the dynamic evolution law of its stability.Therefore,the above studies show that the compound hydrodynamic unload-load response ratio parameter is an effective displacement dynamic evaluation parameter for reservoir colluvium landslides,so it can be used in the prediction of the reservoir colluvium landslides.

Multifunctional superhydrophobic coatings fabricated from basalt scales on a fluorocarbon coating base

Superhydrophobic coatings are increasingly being evaluated as anticorrosion interventions in exceedingly hydrated environments.However,concerns about their long-term durability and amenability to large-area applications in marine environments are still hindering commercial-scale deployment.This study is focused on development of easy-to-apply superhydrophobic coatings,with multifunctional capabilities,in order to extend the integrity and durability of the coatings in harsh marine environments.Here,a set of facile methods involving selective chemical etching using concentrated Na OH,as well as fluorination with perfluoropolyether methyl ester were adopted to fabricate a superhydrophobic surface on basalt scales,having the required rough hierarchical micro-nanotextured and low surface energy.The superhydrophobic basalt scales were subsequently aligned atop a fluorocarbon resin,pre-deposited on a metal substrate,to yield a multifunctional superhydrophobic coating(3μL water droplet;contact angle=165.1°,rolling angle=0.7°),easily amenable to large surface area application and having excellent wear resistance,UV-aging resistance,salt spray resistance,corrosion resistance and antibacterial capabilities.

Reactive oxygen species generation is essential for cisplatininduced accelerated senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma

Accelerated senescence is important because this process is involved in tumor suppression and has been induced by many chemotherapeutic agents. The platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin displays a wide range of antitumor activities. However, the molecular mechanism of cisplatin-induced accelerated senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） remains unclear. In the present study, the growth inhibitory effect of cisplatin on HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells was detected by 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Cellular senescence was then assessed by I^-galactosidase assay. Senescence-related factors, including p53, p21, and p16, were evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Reactive oxygen species （ROS） was analyzed by flow cytometry. Our results revealed that cisplatin reduced the proliferation of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Senescent phenotype observed in cisplatin- treated hepatoma cells was dependent on p53 and p21 activation but not on pl 6 activation. Furthermore, cisplatininduced accelerated senescence depended on intracellular ROS generation. The ROS scavenger N-acetyl-Lcysteine also significantly suppressed the cisplatin-induced senescence of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. In conclusion, our results revealed a functional link between intracellular ROS generation and cisplatin-indnced accelerated senescence, and this link may be used as a potential target of HCC.

Morphology-controlled CoNi/C hybrids with bifunctions of efficient anti-corrosion and microwave absorption

Till now,fewer literatures have investigated the corrosion resistance of microwave absorbers,especially mental@C/carbon matrix derived from MOF composites,although it is known that carbon shells possess a protective effect.Herein,three kinds of morphology-controlled CoNi/C-N doped architectures were suc-cessfully fabricated via a sequence of processing,namely coprecipitation for ZIF-67,subsequent Ni^(2+) ex-change and ultimate carbonization.Apart from composition characterization,the effects of microstructure tailoring and temperature controlling on electromagnetic response as well as attenuation performance were revealed,where dodecahedron-shaped composites possessed the highest permittivity.By contrast,rod-shaped composites(CoNi/C-r-550 and CoNi/C-r-700)were endowed with superior comprehensive ab-sorption properties,e.g.,RL_(min):-49.8 dB and-64.0 dB;EAB:5.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz,respectively.Besides,samples CoNi/C-d-700 and CoNi/C-r-700 present higher corrosion potential(E_(corr))and lower corrosion current(I corr).Hence,these corrosion-resistant microwave absorbers with outstanding absorption stabil-ity,wetting effect as well as environmental adaptability,can be used as a candidate/raw material for intelligent devices.

Optimizing the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of designed hollow CoFe_(2)O_(4)/CoFe@C microspheres

Whereas hollow composites present some superiorities like abundant micro interfaces,outstanding impedance matching as the responses of electromagnetic wave(EMW),but versatile designs including crystal transformation,heterogeneous structures and magnetic exchange coupling to further contribution are even not designed or stressed together in previous literatures.In this article,rational design on the hollow CoFe_(2)O_(4)/CoFe@C architecture has been conducted by a sequential process of self-sacrifice by combustion,in-suit polymerization and calcination.Results of morphology observation exhibit that heterogeneous CoFe_(2)O_(4)/CoFe@C composites were generated via crystal transformation from CoFe_(2)O_(4) to CoFe alloys with encapsulated carbon,together with ultimate growth of crystal particles.As for three carbon-based architectures,relatively low-graphitization carbon layers are favorable for enhancing impedance matching and polarization relaxation,but suppressing the conductive loss essentially.Moderate carbon content endows sample S2 with the maximum magnetic saturation(Ms)of 152.4 emu g^(-1).The optimized RL of sample S3 is up to-51 dB with 30 wt%loading,and the effective absorption band(EAB)is of 5.9 GHz at the thickness of 2.17 mm,while 6.0 GHz can be reached at 2.5 mm.Therefore,this hollow multi-interfaces design definitely shed light on novel structure for new excellent absorbers.

Evaluation of coating resistivity for pigmented/unpigmented epoxy coatings under marine alternating hydrostatic pressure

To realize a rapid evaluation of coating degradation under alternating hydrostatic pressure(AHP),appropriate physical models of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)data fitting were respectively developed for epoxy coatings with and without pigments,based on their different water absorption behaviours.Power-law model was selected to evaluate the anti-permeability of epoxy varnish(EV)coating,which tends to form through pores in the coating structure.On the other hand,two-layer model based on Young theory was developed to evaluate the anti-permeability of pigmented epoxy coating.Consequently,the resistivity profile with coating thickness was calculated as a critical parameter to describe the anti-permeability of coating at different immersion time.The interpretation of water diffusion dynamics based on different coating structures was also given,which is responsible for the choice of distribution models.
