Flat-shaped specimens made of laser cladding Fe314 alloy coatings were performed by static tensile tests, and Rayleigh wave signals were collected during the test process with an ultrasonic pulser and receiver instrument combined with two Rayleigh wave transducers. The difference in time of flight between two signals was de-termined based on the cross correlation function. The microstructure was observed by scanning electronic microscopy. The influence of the stress on the propagation velocity of Rayleigh waves and the relationship between the difference in time of flight and tensile stress under dif-ferent cross correlation step lengths were analyzed. The inhomogeneous deformation of the coatings affects the relationship between the dif-ference in time of flight and tensile stress; the stress measurement of the coatings is nearly constant with the increase of cross correlation step length when it attains one cycle.展开更多

Thermal decomposition of hexamethylene-1,6-dicarbamate(HDC) is a promising approach for indirect utilization of CO_2 to produce hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate(HDI). In this work, a green route was developed for the synthesis of HDI by thermal decomposition of HDC over Co_3O_4/ZSM-5 catalyst, using chlorobenzene as low boiling point solvent. Different metal oxide supported catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation(IWI), PEG-additive(PEG) and deposition precipitation with ammonia evaporation(DP) methods. Their catalytic performances for the thermal decomposition of HDC were tested. The catalyst screening results showed that Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25) catalysts prepared by different methods showed different performances in the order of Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(PEG)N Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(IWI)N Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(DP). The physicochemical properties of Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25) catalyst were characterized by XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, NH3-TPD and XPS.The superior catalytic performance of Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(PEG)catalyst was attributed to its relative surface content of Co^(3+), surface lattice oxygen content and total acidity. Under the optimized reaction conditions: 6.5% HDC concentration in chlorobenzene, 1 wt% Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(PEG)catalyst, 250 °C temperature, 2.5 h time, 800 ml·min-1 nitrogen flow rate and 1.0 MPa pressure, the HDC conversion and HDI yield could reach 100% and 92.8%respectively. The Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25)(PEG)catalyst could be facilely separated from the reaction mixture, and reused without degradation in catalytic performance. Furthermore, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed based on the physicochemical properties of the Co_3O_4/ZSM-5_(25) catalysts.展开更多

Three solvents dioctyl sebacate(DOS), dibutyl sebacate(DBS) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate(BMIMBF_4) were investigated and compared; DOS gave better performance. The catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of HDC to HDI using DOS as solvent were then investigated, and the results showed that, under the optimized reaction conditions, i.e.,10 wt%concentration of HDC in DOS, 250 °C temperature, 60 min reaction time, 83.8% yield of HDI had been achieved over Zn–Co/ZSM-5. Decomposition of the intermediate hexamethylene-1-carbamate-6-isocyanate(HMI) over Zn–Co/ZSM-5 in DOS solvent was further studied and the results indicated that yield of HDI from HMI reached to 69.6%(98.6% HDI selectively) at 270 °C, which further increased the yield of the total HDI(HDI_(tol)) to as high as 95.0%. Recycling of catalyst showed that HDI and HMI yield slightly decreased, and by-product yield increased after the catalyst was reused for 4 times. At last possible reaction mechanism was proposed.展开更多

Methods: A total of 68 patients with LACC who were admitted in our hospital from April;2015 to August;2016 were included in the study and divided into the observation group (n=34) and the control group (n=34) according to different chemotherapy regimens. The patients in the observation group were given docetaxel and oxaliplatin (DTX+OXA);while the patients in the control group were given TAX and DDP. 21 d-treatment was regarded as one course;for 2 courses. After treatment;the patients in the two groups were given laparoscopic extensive hysterectomy;pelvic lymph node dissection;and abdominal aortic lymph node sampling. The short-term efficacy and adverse reactions in the two groups were observed. Pathological evaluation of postoperative specimens in the two groups was performed. The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and NK cell in the two groups were detected and compared. Results: ORR and DCR in the observation group were 47.09% and 91.18%;respectively;while those in the control group were 44.12% and 85.29%;respectively;and the comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant. When compared with before treatment;CD4+;CD8+;and NK cell after treatment in the two groups were significantly reduced;while CD4+/CD8+ was significantly increased;but the comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant. It was proved by the postoperative pathology that the comparison of PCR;PR1;and PR2 between the two groups was not statistically significant. Meanwhile;the comparison of cervical infiltration depth;surgical incision;parametrial infiltration;and pelvic lymph node metastasis between the two groups was not statistically significant. The proportion of alopecia;gastrointestinal reaction;and renal toxicity in the observation was significantly lower than that in the control group;but the proportion of peripheral neurotoxicity was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusions: Before laparoscopy;the short-term efficacy of DTX+OXA and TAX+DDP in the treatment of LACC is equal;but DTX+OXA has a lower toxic reaction;and higher safety;therefore;it deserves to be recommended in the clinic.展开更多

文摘A non-phosgene route for the synthesis of hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate(HDI) was developed via catalytic decomposition of hexamethylene-1,6-dicarbamate(HDC) over Zn–Co bi-metallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst.The catalyst was characterized by FTIR and XRD analyses. Three solvents dioctyl sebacate(DOS), dibutyl sebacate(DBS) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate(BMIMBF_4) were investigated and compared; DOS gave better performance. The catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of HDC to HDI using DOS as solvent were then investigated, and the results showed that, under the optimized reaction conditions, i.e.,10 wt%concentration of HDC in DOS, 250 °C temperature, 60 min reaction time, 83.8% yield of HDI had been achieved over Zn–Co/ZSM-5. Decomposition of the intermediate hexamethylene-1-carbamate-6-isocyanate(HMI) over Zn–Co/ZSM-5 in DOS solvent was further studied and the results indicated that yield of HDI from HMI reached to 69.6%(98.6% HDI selectively) at 270 °C, which further increased the yield of the total HDI(HDI_(tol)) to as high as 95.0%. Recycling of catalyst showed that HDI and HMI yield slightly decreased, and by-product yield increased after the catalyst was reused for 4 times. At last possible reaction mechanism was proposed.

文摘The moisture-conserving effect of straw mulch-based no-tillage(SMNT)is expected to increase fertile spikes and grain yield in environments with rainfall less than 200 mm.However,the mechanisms under-lying the positive effect of SMNT on wheat tillering are not fully elucidated.A split-plot experiment was designed to investigate the combined effects of SMNT and cultivars on tillering of dryland wheat grown under both dry and favorable climates.Application of SMNT to a cultivar with 1-2 tillers exploited both tillering and kernel-number plasticity,increasing the mean grain yield by 20.5%.This increase was attrib-uted primarily to an increased first-tiller emergence rate resulting from increased N uptake,leaf N con-tent,and N remobilization from tillers to their grain.The second and third tillers,as transient sinks,contributed to the tiller survival rate,which depends on tiller leaf number.The increased total N uptake by SMNT also increased the dry mass yield of tillers and the C:N ratio,reducing the asymmetric compe-tition between main stem and tillers.Owing to these beneficial effects,reduced mitogen-activated pro-tein kinase(MAPK)and abscisic acid signals were observed under SMNT,whereas indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)signals and genes involved in DNA replication and mismatch repair were increased.These signals activated three critical transcription factors(the calmodulin-binding transcription activator,GRAS domain,and cysteine-2/histidine-2 family)and further increased rapid drought response and tiller main-tenance after stem extension.Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,sphingolipid biosynthesis,and galactose metabolism were most relevant to increased tillering under SMNT because of their critical role in drought response and lignin biosynthesis.Our results suggest that straw mulch-based no-tillage activates rapid drought response and improved wheat tillering by coordinating root N uptake,N remobilization,and asymmetric competition between main stem and tillers.

文摘In this study,the quasi-static ebulliometric method was used to measure both of the vapor pressures of methyl N-phenyl carbamate(MPC),and the isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE) data of the aniline and MPC binary system.The measured vapor pressure data of MPC,at different temperature ranging from 369.60 to 389.54 K,fitted well with the Antoine equation.The VLE data for the aniline and MPC system at(2.00,4.00,6.00,7.00 and 8.00) k Pa were correlated by both of nonrandom two-liquid(NRTL) and Wilson models.The parameters of the two models were obtained by regressing the experimental data,with the absolute temperature deviations of 0.54 K and 0.53 K,respectively.The relative volatility of the binary system calculated was all far more than 1,which gives the conclusion that the high purity MPC can be separated from aniline and MPC binary system by rectification or distillation technology.

文摘This paper reports new geochronological(U-Pb) and isotope(C,O,and S) data to investigate the timing of mineralization and mode of ore genesis for the recently discovered Changtuxili Mn-Ag-Pb-Zn deposit,located on the western slopes of the southern Great Hinggan Range in NE China.The mineralization is hosted by intermediate-acidic lavas and pyroclastic rocks of the Baiyingaolao Formation.Three stages of mineralization are identified:quartz-pyrite(Stage I),galena-sphalerite-tetrahedrite-rhodochrosite(Stage II),and quartz-pyrite(Stage Ⅲ).δ13C and δ18O values for carbonate from the ore vary from-8.51‰ to-4.96‰ and 3.97‰ to 15.90‰,respectively,which are indicative of a low-temperature alteration environment.δ34SV-CDT values of sulfides range from-1.77‰ to 4.16‰ and show a trend of equilibrium fractionation(δ34SPy>δ34SSp>δ34SGn).These features indicate that pyrite,sphalerite,and galena precipitated during the period of mineralization.The alteration mineral assemblage and isotope data indicate that the weakly acidic to weakly alkaline ore-forming fluid was derived largely from meteoric water and the ore-forming elements C and S originated from magma.During the mineralization,a geochemical barrier was formed by changes in the pH of the ore-forming fluid,leading to the precipitation of rhodochrosite.On the basis of the mineralization characteristics,new isotope data,and comparison with adjacent deposits,we propose that the Changtuxili Mn-Ag-Pb-Zn deposit is an intermediate-to lowsulfidation epithermal deposit whose formation was controlled by fractures and variability in the pH of the oreforming fluid.The surrounding volcanic rocks yield zircon U-Pb ages of 160-146 Ma(Late Jurassic),indicating that the mineralization is younger than 146 Ma.

文摘In this study,nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) was prepared by thermal exfoliation of bulk g-C_(3)N_(4) under hydrogen.A series of Ru/g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) catalysts with Ru species supported on the nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2) were synthesized via ultrasonic assisted impregnation-deposition method.Ultrafine Ru nanoparticles(<2 nm)were highly dispersed on nanosheet g-C_(3)N_(4)-H_(2).Strong interaction due to Ru-Nx coordination facilitated the uniform distribution of Ru species.Meanwhile,the involvement of surface basicity derived from abundant nitrogen sites was favourable for enhancing the selective hydrogenation performance of bi-benzene ring,i.e.,almost complete 4,40-diaminodiphenylmethane(MDA)conversion and>99%4,40-diaminodicyclohexylmethane selectivity,corresponding to a reaction activity of 35.7 mol_(MDA) mol_(Ru)^(-1) h^(-1).Moreover,the reaction activity of catalyst in the fifth run was 36.5 mol_(MDA) mol_(Ru)^(-1) h^(-1),which was comparable with that of the fresh one.The computational results showed that g-C_(3)N_(4) as support was favorable for adsorption and dissociation of H_(2) molecules.Moreover,the substrate scope can be successfully expanded to a variety of other aromatic diamines.Therefore,this work provides an efficient and green catalyst system for selective hydrogenation of aromatic diamines.

文摘Understanding the spatio-temporal changes of vegetation and its climatic control factors can provide an important theoretical basis for the protection and restoration of eco-environments.In this study,we analyzed the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)in the Chinese Loess Plateau(CLP)from 2002 to 2018 via trend analysis,stability analysis,and Mann-Kendall mutation test to investigate the change of vegetation.In addition,we also used the skewness analysis and correlation analysis to explore the contribution of climate change and human activities on regional vegetation changes.The results indicated that the overall increasing trend of NDVI from 2002 to 2018 was significant The areas showing increased NDVI were mainly distributed in the south-eastern CLP and the irrigation districts of the Yellow River to the north and west of the CLP,while the areas showing decreased NDVl were concentrated in the desert of the westem Ordos Plateau,Longzhong Loess Plateau,and the built-up and adjacent areas.Precipitation was the dominant factor contributing to vegetation growth in the CLP,while vegetation was less dependent onprecipitation in the irigation districts.The increasement of NDVI has led to a prolonged responsetime of vegetation to water stress and a lag effect of less than two months in the CLP.The effect of temperature on NDVI was not significant;significant negative correlations between NDVI and temperature were found only in the desert,the Guanzhong Plain,the southem Liupan Mountains,and the southeastem Taihang Mountains,owing to high temperatures,urban heat islands,and large cloud cover in mountainous areas.Affected by the"Grain for Green Program"(GGP),NDVIin the CLP increased from 2002 to 2018;however,the increasing trends of NDNI for differentvegetation cover types were significantly different owing to the difference in background status.The increasing contribution rate of NDVI in the CLP mainly came from crops and steppes.Urban not only led to the destruction of vegetation but also had radiation effect causing negative impact of NDVI around the cities.This resulted in the aggravation of the negative bias of NDVI with time in the CLP.The results provide a long-term perspective for regional vegetation protection and utilization in the CLP.
文摘Objective: To explore the efficacy of paclitaxel plus cisplatin (TP) neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combined with laparoscopy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer and their effect on the molecular markers and immune function. Methods: A total of 92 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were included in the study and divided into the control group (n=46) and the treatment group (n=46) according to the admission number. The patients in the control group were given 5- fluorouracil plus cisplatin (PF);neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combined with laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. The patients in the treatment group were given TP neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combined with laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. The clinical efficacy in the two groups was compared. The levels of molecular markers and the change of immune function in the two groups were detected and compared. The adverse reactions in the two groups were observed and compared. Results: After chemotherapy;in the treatment group;CR was 39.13%;PR was 41.30%;NC was 13.04%;PD was 6.52%;and the total effective rate was 80.43%;while those in the control group were 21.74%;26.09%;30.43%;21.74%;and 47.83%;respectively. The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group.

文摘Tree mortality models play an important role in predicting tree growth and yield,but existing mortality models for Larix gmelinii subsp.principis-rupprechtii,an important species used for regeneration and afforestation in northern China,have overlooked potential regional influences on tree mortality.This study used data acquired from 102 temporary sample plots(TSPs)in natural stands of Prince Rupprecht larch in the state-owned Guandi Mountain Forest(n=67)and state-owned Boqiang Forest(n=35)in northern China.To model stand-level tree mortality,we compared seven model forms of county data.Three continuous(dominant height,plot mean diameter,and basal area per hectare)and one dummy variable with two levels(region)were used as fixed effects variables.Tree morality variations caused by forest blocks were accounted for using forest blocks as a random effect in selected models.Results showed that tree mortality significantly positively correlated with stand basal area and dominant height,but negatively correlated with stand mean diameter.Incorporating both the dummy variables and random effects into the tree mortality models significantly increased the fitting improvements,and Hurdle Poisson mixed-effects model showed the most attractive fit statistics(largest R^(2)and smallest RMSE)when employing leave-one-out cross-validation.These mixed-effects dummy variable models will be useful for accurately predicting Larix tree mortality in different regions.

文摘Direct laser deposition(DLD),as a popular metal additive manufacturing process,shows advantages of technical flexibility and high efficiency to gain a high-performance alloy steel component.However,during the processing of DLD,the deposited steel layer is affected by the subsequent layer depositing.The DLD block shows different microstructure and mechanical properties at the bottom,middle and top of the deposited parts.To date,there are few research works about the effects of inter-layer interval time and laser power on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the deposited layers.In this study,the idle time and laser power layer by layer during DLD of 12CrNi2 steel were controlled to cause the deposited layers to maintain a high cooling rate,while the bottom deposited layer was subjected to a weak tempering effect.Results show that a high proportion of martensite is produced,which improves the strength of the deposited layer.Under the laser scanning strategy of laser power 2,500 W,scanning velocity 5 mm·s^(-1),powder feeding rate 11 g·min^(-1),overlap rate 50%,and a laser power difference of 50 W and a 2 min interval,the tensile strength of the deposited layer of 12CrNi2 steel is in the range of 873-1,022 MPa,and the elongation is in the range of 16.2%-18.9%.This study provides a method to reduce the tempering effect of the subsequent deposition layers on the bottom layers,which can increase the proportion of martensite in the low-alloy high-strength steel,so as to improve the yield strength of the alloy steel.

文摘The English Channel(the Channel)represents a major sink and transport pathway of anthropogenic radioactive ^(129)I.Despite this important role,data concerning the distribution of ^(129)I in seawater of the Channel are scarce,and most of existing data are restricted to the eastern part of the Channel.The advection and dispersion of ^(129)I from the French coast toward the central and further the English coast,especially in the Channel west of Cap de La Hague,are not fully investigated.We present results of iodine isotopes( ^(127)I and ^(129)I)analyses of surface water samples collected along the central English Channel in October,2010.The data show high ^(129)I concentrations between Dover Strait and La Hague,followed by a dramatic drop towards the Celtic Sea and reveal the dispersal of ^(129)I towards central and northern part of the Channel.Our observation also implies that the entire British coast is contaminated by ^(129)I. ^(129)I levels in the westernmost English Channel,close to the English coast,may reflect combined influences from La Hague and Sellafield.Evolution of ^(129)I between 2005 and 2010 suggests a strong link to temporal marine discharges from La Hague plant.The discharges from the nuclear reprocessing facility have continued since 2010 and thus an ecological evaluation of ^(129)I radioactive hazards in the environment of the Channel may be needed.
文摘Objective: To explore the efficacy of different neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT ) i n t h e treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) and safety evaluation. Methods: A total of 68 patients with LACC who were admitted in our hospital from April;2015 to August;2016 were included in the study and divided into the observation group (n=34) and the control group (n=34) according to different chemotherapy regimens. The patients in the observation group were given docetaxel and oxaliplatin (DTX+OXA);while the patients in the control group were given TAX and DDP. 21 d-treatment was regarded as one course;for 2 courses. After treatment;the patients in the two groups were given laparoscopic extensive hysterectomy;pelvic lymph node dissection;and abdominal aortic lymph node sampling. The short-term efficacy and adverse reactions in the two groups were observed. Pathological evaluation of postoperative specimens in the two groups was performed. The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and NK cell in the two groups were detected and compared. Results: ORR and DCR in the observation group were 47.09% and 91.18%;respectively;while those in the control group were 44.12% and 85.29%;respectively;and the comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant. When compared with before treatment;CD4+;CD8+;and NK cell after treatment in the two groups were significantly reduced;while CD4+/CD8+ was significantly increased;but the comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant. It was proved by the postoperative pathology that the comparison of PCR;PR1;and PR2 between the two groups was not statistically significant. Meanwhile;the comparison of cervical infiltration depth;surgical incision;parametrial infiltration;and pelvic lymph node metastasis between the two groups was not statistically significant. The proportion of alopecia;gastrointestinal reaction;and renal toxicity in the observation was significantly lower than that in the control group;but the proportion of peripheral neurotoxicity was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusions: Before laparoscopy;the short-term efficacy of DTX+OXA and TAX+DDP in the treatment of LACC is equal;but DTX+OXA has a lower toxic reaction;and higher safety;therefore;it deserves to be recommended in the clinic.
