Reliability of Three Dimentional Pseudo-continuous Arterial Spin Labeling:A Volumetric Cerebral Perfusion Imaging with Different Post-labeling Time and Functional State in Health Adults

Objective To evaluate the reliability of three dimensional spiral fast spin echo pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3 D pc-ASL) in measuring cerebral blood flow(CBF) with different post-labeling delay time(PLD) in the resting state and the right finger taping state.Methods 3 D pc-ASL and three dimensional T1-weighted fast spoiled gradient recalled echo(3 D T1-FSPGR) sequence were applied to eight healthy subjects twice at the same time each day for one week interval. ASL data acquisition was performed with post-labeling delay time(PLD) 1.5 seconds and 2.0 seconds in the resting state and the right finger taping state respectively. CBF mapping was calculated and CBF value of both the gray matter(GM) and white matter(WM) was automatically extracted. The reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) and Bland and Altman plot.Results ICC of the GM(0.84) and WM(0.92) was lower at PLD 1.5 seconds than that(GM, 0.88; WM, 0.94) at PLD 2.0 seconds in the resting state, and ICC of GM(0.88) was higher in the right finger taping state than that in the resting state at PLD 1.5 seconds. ICC of the GM and WM was 0.71 and 0.78 for PLD 1.5 seconds and PLD 2.0 seconds in the resting state at the first scan, and ICC of the GM and WM was 0.83 and 0.79 at the second scan, respectively.Conclusion This work demonstrated that 3 D pc-ASL might be a reliable imaging technique to measure CBF over the whole brain at different PLD in the resting state or controlled state.

Effects of backward path parameters on formability in conventional spinning of aluminum hemispherical parts

During multi-pass conventional spinning, roller paths combined with the forward and the backward pass are usually used to improve the material formability. In order to understand the backward spinning process properly, the backward roller paths of hemispherical parts with aluminum alloy 2024-O are analyzed. Finite element model with parameterized conventional spinning roller paths, which are based on quadratic Bezier curves, is developed to explore the evolution of the stress, strain and thinning during the backward processes. Analysis of the simulation results reveals stress and strain features of backward pass spinning. According to the findings, the application of the backward pass can obviously improve the uniformity of wall thickness. Furthermore, references of the parameters in future backward path design are provided.

DFT-I-U Analysis on Stability of Low-Index Facets in Hexagonal LaCoO3 Perovskite： Effect of Co3＋ Spin States

By the first-principles calculations, most studies indicated that the （1102）-CoO2 termination of LaCoO3 cannot be stabilized, which disagrees with the experimental observation. Besides the crystal structure, we found that the spin states of Co3＋ ions could affect surface stability, which previously were not well considered. By examining the different states of Co3＋ ions in hexagonal-phase LaCoO3, including low spin, intermediate spin, and high spin states, the surface grand potentials of these facets are calculated and compared. The results show that the spin states of Co3＋ ions have an important influence on stability of the LaCoO3 facets. Different from the previous results, the stability diagrams demonstrate that the （1102）- CoO2 termination can stably exist under O-rich condition, which can get an agreement with the experimental ones. Furthermore, the surface oxygen vacancy formation energies （Eov） of stable facets are computed in different spin states. The Eov of these possible exposed terminations strongly depend on the spin state of Co3＋ ions： in particular, the Eov of the HS states is lower than that of other spin states. This indicates that one can tune the properties of LaCoO3 by directly tuning the spin states of Co3＋ ions.

Stability of the Konjac Glucomannan Topological Chain Based on Quantum Spin Model

In this paper we investigated the stability of konjac glucomnnan（KGM） chain hydrogen networks based on the quantum spin model. Dissipative particle dynamics method was applied in the structure simulation of KGM. The results reveled that acetyl residues of KGM were bonded with water molecules in aqueous solutions. Increasing the hydrogen bond formation decreases the energy in acetyl system. The expect-valuation of the thermal state with respect to the Hamiltonian is negative. Hence, the total energy of konjac glucomnnan chain with the acetyl groups decreases, which indicates the increasing stability of konjac glucomnnan chain. Our approach could provide a new insight into the investigation on the stability of konjac glucomnnan chain.

Influence of control strategy on stability of dual-spin projectiles with fixed canards

Existing literature has shown that the control force at the nose could cause dynamic instability for controlled projectiles. To lower the adverse impact on the dual-spin projectile with fixed canards under the premise of meeting guidance system requirements, the influence of control moment provided by a motor on the flight stability is analyzed in this paper. Firstly, the effect of the rolling movement on stability is analyzed based on the stability criterion derived using the Hurwitz stability theory. Secondly, the evaluation parameters combining the features of different control periods that could assess the variation of stability features after the motor torque are obtained. These effective formulas are used to indicate that, to reduce the flight instability risks, the stabilized rolling speed of roll speed keeping period should be as small as possible; the variation trend of motor torque during the rolling speed controlling period and the roll angle of the forward body during roll angle switching period are recommended corresponding to the projectile and trajectory characteristics. Moreover,detailed numerical simulations of 155 mm dual-spin projectile are satisfactory agreement with the theoretical results.

Thermal stability of the spin injection in Co/Ag/Co lateral spin valves

Spin injection, spin diffusion, and spin detection are investigated in Co/Ag/Co lateral spin valves at room temperature.Clear spin accumulation signals are detected by the non-local measurement. By fitting the results to the one-dimensional diffusion equation,8.6% spin polarization of the Co/Ag interface and -180 nm spin diffusion length in Ag are obtained.Thermal treatment results show that the spin accumulation signal drastically decreases after 100℃ annealing, and disappears under 200℃ annealing. Our results demonstrate that, compared to the spin diffusion length, the decrease and the disappearance of the spin accumulation signal are mainly dominated by the variation of the interfacial spin polarization of the Co/Ag interface.

Stability margin of the quadruped bionic robot with spinning gait

Spinning gait is valuable for quadruped robot,which can be used to avoid obstacles quickly for robot walking in unstructured environment. A kind of bionic flexible body is presented for quadruped robot to perform the spinning gait. The spinning gait can be achieved by coordinated movement of body laterally bending and legs swing,which can improve the mobility of robot walking in the unstructured environments. The coordinated movement relationship between the body and the leg mechanism is presented. The stability of quadruped robot with spinning gait is analyzed based on the center of gravity( COG) projection method. The effect of different body bending angle on the stability of quadruped robot with spinning gait is mainly studied. For the quadruped robot walking with spinning gait,during one spinning gait cycle,the supporting polygon and the trajectory of COG projection point under different body bending angle are calculated. Finally,the stability margin of quadruped robot with spinning gait under different body bending angle is determined,which can be used to evaluate reasonableness of spinning gait parameters.

It is discussed that a tangential force T induces a self-excited vibration in the motion ofspindle blades of a ring spinning frame.Depending on the relative magnitude of the tangentialforce compared with the tangential damping force the motion of blade is either stable orunstable.The chief factors causing the self-excited vibration can also be traced from the charac-ter of the experimental locus.

ZnO Additive Boosts Charging Speed and Cycling Stability of Electrolytic Zn–Mn Batteries

Electrolytic aqueous zinc-manganese(Zn–Mn) batteries have the advantage of high discharge voltage and high capacity due to two-electron reactions. However, the pitfall of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries is the sluggish deposition reaction kinetics of manganese oxide during the charge process and short cycle life. We show that, incorporating ZnO electrolyte additive can form a neutral and highly viscous gel-like electrolyte and render a new form of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with significantly improved charging capabilities. Specifically, the ZnO gel-like electrolyte activates the zinc sulfate hydroxide hydrate assisted Mn^(2+) deposition reaction and induces phase and structure change of the deposited manganese oxide(Zn_(2)Mn_(3)O_8·H_(2)O nanorods array), resulting in a significant enhancement of the charge capability and discharge efficiency. The charge capacity increases to 2.5 mAh cm^(-2) after 1 h constant-voltage charging at 2.0 V vs. Zn/Zn^(2+), and the capacity can retain for up to 2000 cycles with negligible attenuation. This research lays the foundation for the advancement of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with enhanced charging capability.

Stability analysis of magnetization in a perpendicular magnetic layer driven by spin Hall effect

We investigate the stability of magnetization in free layer where the spin torque is induced by the spin Hall effect.In terms of the Landau–Liftshitz–Gilbert equation,we find the low-energy and high-energy equilibrium states,as well as the saddle points.The stability region is defined in the phase diagram spanned by the current density and the spin Hall angle.The spin Hall effect makes the previous saddle point into a stable state above a critical current.However,in the presence of magnetic field,the spin Hall effect leads to the opposite changes in the stable regions of the two low-energy states.

Micromagnetic Investigation of Microwave Permeability of Magnetic Artificial Spin Ice

The complex permeability of the artificial spin ice array at different magnetic states is calculated using the micromagnetic simulation method. It is observed that the permeability spectra are dependent on the magnetization distributions of the array. The dependence of the permeability spectrum on the applied magnetic field strength and on the spacing gap between the neighboring elements is also investigated. Depending on the initial magnetization saturating direction, the permeability spectrum exhibits different sensitivity to the strength of the external applied magnetic field and to the spacing distance between the comprising elements of the artificial spin ice array.

Observer-based robust high-order fully actuated attitude autopilot design for spinning glide-guided projectiles

This paper investigates the design of an attitude autopilot for a dual-channel controlled spinning glideguided projectile(SGGP),addressing model uncertainties and external disturbances.Based on fixed-time stable theory,a disturbance observer with integral sliding mode and adaptive techniques is proposed to mitigate total disturbance effects,irrespective of initial conditions.By introducing an error integral signal,the dynamics of the SGGP are transformed into two separate second-order fully actuated systems.Subsequently,employing the high-order fully actuated approach and a parametric approach,the nonlinear dynamics of the SGGP are recast into a constant linear closed-loop system,ensuring that the projectile's attitude asymptotically tracks the given goal with the desired eigenstructure.Under the proposed composite control framework,the ultimately uniformly bounded stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously demonstrated via the Lyapunov method.Validation of the effectiveness of the proposed attitude autopilot design is provided through extensive numerical simulations.

Effects of residual stress and viscous and hysteretic dampings on the stability of a spinning micro-shaft

This study examines the effects of the residual stress and viscous and hysteretic dampings on the vibrational behavior and stability of a spinning Timoshenko micro-shaft.A modified couple stress theory(MCST)is used to elucidate the sizedependency of the micro-shaft spinning stability,and the equations of motion are derived by employing Hamilton’s principle and a spatial beam for spinning micro-shafts.Moreover,a differential quadrature method(DQM)is presented,along with the exact solution for the forward and backward(FW-BW)complex frequencies and normal modes.The effects of the material length scale parameter(MLSP),the spinning speed,the viscous damping coefficient,the hysteretic damping,and the residual stress on the stability of the spinning micro-shafts are investigated.The results indicate that the MLSP,the internal dampings(viscous and hysteretic),and the residual stress have significant effects on the complex frequency and stability of the spinning micro-shafts.Therefore,it is crucial to take these factors into account while these systems are designed and analyzed.The results show that an increase in the MLSP leads to stiffening of the spinning micro-shaft,increases the FW-BW dimensionless complex frequencies of the system,and enhances the stability of the system.Additionally,a rise in the tensile residual stresses causes an increase in the FW-BW dimensionless complex frequencies and stability of the micro-shafts,while the opposite is true for the compressive residual stresses.The results of this research can be employed for designing spinning structures and controlling their vibrations,thus forestalling resonance.

Effect of content and spin state of iron on electronic properties and floatability of iron-bearing sphalerite:A DFT+U study

Iron is an impurity widely occurred in sphalerite,and its effect on sphalerite flotation is complex.In this work,the effects of iron content and spin state on electronic properties and floatability of iron-bearing sphalerite are comprehensively studied using density functional theory Hubbard U(DFT+U)calculations combined with coordination chemistry flotation.The band gap of ideal sphalerite is 3.723 eV,and thus electron transition is difficult to occur,resulting in poor floatability.The results suggest the band gap of sphalerite decreases with increasing iron content.For low iron content,the decreased band gap facilitates electron transition;at this case,Fe^(2+)in a high-spin state possesses oneπelectron pair,which can form a weakπ-backbonding with xanthate,causing increasing floatability.However,for medium and high iron-bearing sphalerite,with the further decrease of band gap,Fe^(2+)is oxidized to Fe^(3+)due to electrochemical interaction,and henceπ-backbonding is eliminated,leading to lower floatability of iron-bearing sphalerite,which is consistent with the flotation experimental results.This work could give a deeper understanding of how sphalerite flotation behaviors are affected by iron content.

Quasiprobability Distribution of Squeezed Thermal Spin States in Ferromagnet

We study squeezed properties of magnon squeezed thermal spin states by using the distribution of Q function in the ferromagnet. It is found that the distribution of Q function strongly depends on the temperature T and coupling parameter γ. Below the transition temperature Tc, the distribution Q function in the squeezed thermal spin state presents a richer structure than in the normal state. Non-classical effects have been observed. In the transition from the normal to the squeezed thermal spin state, the phase symmetry of the magnon system is spontaneously broken.

Whole-process case management effects on mental state and selfcare ability in patients with liver cancer

BACKGROUND Regarding the incidence of malignant tumors in China,the incidence of liver cancer ranks fourth,second only to lung,gastric,and esophageal cancers.The case fatality rate ranks third after lung and cervical cancer.In a previous study,the whole-process management model was applied to patients with breast cancer,which effectively reduced their negative emotions and improved treatment adherence and nursing satisfaction.METHODS In this single-center,randomized,controlled study,60 randomly selected patients with liver cancer who had been admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were randomly divided into an observation group(n=30),who received whole-process case management on the basis of routine nursing mea-sures,and a control group(n=30),who were given routine nursing measures.We compared differences between the two groups in terms of anxiety,depression,the level of hope,self-care ability,symptom distress,sleep quality,and quality of life.RESULTS Post-intervention,Hamilton anxiety scale,Hamilton depression scale,memory symptom assessment scale,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores in both groups were lower than those pre-intervention,and the observation group had lower scores than the control group(P<0.05).Herth hope index,self-care ability assessment scale-revision in Chinese,and quality of life measurement scale for patients with liver cancer scores in both groups were higher than those pre-intervention,with higher scores in the observation group compared with the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Whole-process case management can effectively reduce anxiety and depression in patients with liver cancer,alleviate symptoms and problems,and improve the level of hope,self-care ability,sleep quality,and quality of life,as well as provide feasible nursing alternatives for patients with liver cancer.

Atomic Spin Polarization Controllability Analysis:A Novel Controllability Determination Method for Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free Co-Magnetometers

This paper investigates the atomic spin polarization controllability of spin-exchange relaxation-free co-magnetometers(SERFCMs).This is the first work in the field of controllability analysis for the atomic spin ensembles systems,whose dynamic behaviors of spin polarization are described by the Bloch equations.Based on the Bloch equations,a state-space model of the atomic spin polarization for SERFCM is first established,which belongs to a particular class of nonlinear systems.For this class of nonlinear systems,a novel determination method for the global state controllability is proposed and proved.Then,this method is implemented in the process of controllability analysis on the atomic spin polarization of an actual SERFCM.Moreover,a theoretically feasible and reasonable solution of the control input is proposed under some physical constraints,with whose limitation of realistic conditions,the controller design can be accomplished more practically and more exactly.Finally,the simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and validation of the proposed controllability determination method.

Effect of spin on the instability of THz plasma waves in field-effect transistors under non-ideal boundary conditions

Terahertz(THz) radiation can be generated due to the instability of THz plasma waves in field-effect transistors(FETs). In this work, we discuss the instability of THz plasma waves in the channel of FETs with spin and quantum effects under non-ideal boundary conditions. We obtain a linear dispersion relation by using the hydrodynamic equation, Maxwell equation and spin equation. The influence of source capacitance, drain capacitance, spin effects, quantum effects and channel width on the instability of THz plasma waves under the non-ideal boundary conditions is investigated in great detail. The results of numerical simulation show that the THz plasma wave is unstable when the drain capacitance is smaller than the source capacitance;the oscillation frequency with asymmetric boundary conditions is smaller than that under non-ideal boundary conditions;the instability gain of THz plasma waves becomes lower under non-ideal boundary conditions. This finding provides a new idea for finding efficient THz radiation sources and opens up a new mechanism for the development of THz technology.

In-phase and out-of-phase spin pumping effects in Py/Ru/Pysynthetic antiferromagnetic structures

The spin pumping effect in magnetic heterostructures and multilayers is a highly effective method for the generationand transmission of spin currents. In the increasingly prominent synthetic antiferromagnetic structures, the two ferromagneticlayers demonstrate in-phase and out-of-phase states, corresponding to acoustic and optical precession modes. Withinthis context, our study explores the spin pumping effect in Py/Ru/Py synthetic antiferromagnetic structures across differentmodes. The heightened magnetic damping resulting from the spin pumping effect in the in-phase state initially decreaseswith increasing Py thickness before stabilizing. Conversely, in the out-of-phase state, the amplified damping exceeds thatof the in-phase state, suggesting a greater spin relaxation within this configuration, which demonstrates sensitivity to alterationsin static exchange interactions. These findings contribute to advancing the application of synthetic antiferromagneticstructures in magnonic devices.
