Transfer film effects induced by 3D-printed polyether-ether-ketone with excellent tribological properties for joint prosthesis

Based on the building principle of additive manufacturing,printing orientation mainly determines the tribological properties of joint prostheses.In this study,we created a polyether-ether-ketone(PEEK)joint prosthesis using fused filament fabrication and investigated the effects of printing orientation on its tribological properties using a pin-on-plate tribometer in 25% newborn calf serum.An ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene transfer film is formed on the surface of PEEK due to the mechanical capture of wear debris by the 3D-printed groove morphology,which is significantly impacted by the printing orientation of PEEK.When the printing orientation was parallel to the sliding direction of friction,the number and size of the transfer film increased due to higher steady stress.This transfer film protected the matrix and reduced the friction coefficient and wear rate of friction pairs by 39.13%and 74.33%,respectively.Furthermore,our findings provide a novel perspective regarding the role of printing orientation in designing knee prostheses,facilitating its practical applications.

Mass Transfer-Promoted Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)Circulation Steered by 3D Flow-Through Co-Catalyst System Toward Sustainable Advanced Oxidation Processes

Realizing fast and continuous generation of reactive oxygen species(ROSs)via iron-based advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)is significant in the environmental and biological fields.However,current AOPs assisted by co-catalysts still suffer from the poor mass/electron transfer and non-durable promotion effect,giving rise to the sluggish Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)cycle and low dynamic concentration of Fe^(2+)for ROS production.Herein,we present a three-dimensional(3D)macroscale co-catalyst functionalized with molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))to achieve ultra-efficient Fe^(2+)regeneration(equilibrium Fe^(2+)ratio of 82.4%)and remarkable stability(more than 20 cycles)via a circulating flow-through process.Unlike the conventional batch-type reactor,experiments and computational fluid dynamics simulations demonstrate that the optimal utilization of the 3D active area under the flow-through mode,initiated by the convectionenhanced mass/charge transfer for Fe^(2+)reduction and then strengthened by MoS_(2)-induced flow rotation for sufficient reactant mixing,is crucial for oxidant activation and subsequent ROS generation.Strikingly,the flow-through co-catalytic system with superwetting capabilities can even tackle the intricate oily wastewater stabilized by different surfactants without the loss of pollutant degradation efficiency.Our findings highlight an innovative co-catalyst system design to expand the applicability of AOPs based technology,especially in large-scale complex wastewater treatment.

Application of a microscopic optical potential of chiral effective field theory in (p, d) transfer reactions

The microscopic global nucleon–nucleus optical model potential(OMP)proposed by Whitehead,Lim,and Holt,the WLH potential(Whitehead et al.,Phys Rev Lett 127:182502,2021),which was constructed in the framework of many-body per-turbation theory with state-of-the-art nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory(EFT),was tested with(p,d)transfer reactions calculated using adiabatic wave approximation.The target nuclei included both stable and unstable nuclei,and the incident energies reached 200 MeV.The results were compared with experimental data and predictions using the phenomenological global optical potential of Koning and Delaroche,the KD02 potential.Overall,we found that the micro-scopic WLH potential described the(p,d)reaction angular distributions similarly to the phenomenological KD02 potential;however,the former was slightly better than the latter for radioactive targets.On average,the obtained spectroscopic factors(SFs)using both microscopic and phenomenological potentials were similar when the incident energies were below approxi-mately 120 MeV.However,their difference tended to increase at higher incident energies,which was particularly apparent for the doubly magic target nucleus 40Ca.

Automatic detection of breast lesions in automated 3D breast ultrasound with cross-organ transfer learning

Background Deep convolutional neural networks have garnered considerable attention in numerous machine learning applications,particularly in visual recognition tasks such as image and video analyses.There is a growing interest in applying this technology to diverse applications in medical image analysis.Automated three dimensional Breast Ultrasound is a vital tool for detecting breast cancer,and computer-assisted diagnosis software,developed based on deep learning,can effectively assist radiologists in diagnosis.However,the network model is prone to overfitting during training,owing to challenges such as insufficient training data.This study attempts to solve the problem caused by small datasets and improve model detection performance.Methods We propose a breast cancer detection framework based on deep learning(a transfer learning method based on cross-organ cancer detection)and a contrastive learning method based on breast imaging reporting and data systems(BI-RADS).Results When using cross organ transfer learning and BIRADS based contrastive learning,the average sensitivity of the model increased by a maximum of 16.05%.Conclusion Our experiments have demonstrated that the parameters and experiences of cross-organ cancer detection can be mutually referenced,and contrastive learning method based on BI-RADS can improve the detection performance of the model.

Intermolecular Vibrational Energy Transfers in Melts and Solutions

Resonant and nonresonant intermolecular vibrational energy transfers in Gdm- SCN/KSCN=1/1, GdmSCN/KS^13CN=1/1 and GdmSCN/KS^13C^15N=1/1 mixed crystals in melts and in aqueous solutions are studied with the two dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The energy transfers in the samples are slower with a larger energy donor/acceptor gap, independent of the Raman spectra. The energy gap dependences of the nonresonant energy transfers cannot be described by the phonon compensation mechanism. Instead, the experi- mental energy gap dependences can be quantitatively described by the dephasing mechanism. Temperature dependences of resonant and nonresonant energy transfer rates in the melts are also consistent with the prediction of the dephasing mechanism. The series of results suggest that the dephasing mechanism can be dominant not only in solutions, but also in melts （pure liquids without solvents）, only if the molecular motions （translations and rotations） are much faster than the nonresonant energy transfer processes.

CFD investigation of effect of nanofluid filled Trombe wall on 3D convective heat transfer

A numerical investigation was carried out on the effect of carbon nanotube(CNT)-water-nanofluid-filled Trombe wall on heat transfer and fluid flow inside a 3 D typical room.Time depending governing equations are considered with applying hot temperature at the left surface(collector) of the Trombe wall.The left wall(glazing) of the room and a square part(window) at the right wall are considered at cold temperature.The effects of Rayleigh number and the nanofluid volume fractions and the Trombe wall height on the temperature field,flow structure and heat transfer rate,are studied.The results show that the addition of nanoparticles and the increase of the Trombe wall height,enhance the heat transfer considerably and affect the flow structure and the temperature field.

Conduction mechanism studies on electron transfer of disordered system

Using the negative eigenvalue theory and the infinite order perturbation theory, a new method was developed to solve the eigenvectors of disordered systems. The result shows that eigenvectors change from the extended state to the localized state with the increase of the site points and the disordered degree of the system. When electric field is exerted, the electrons transfer from one localized state to another one. The conductivity is induced by the electron transfer. The authors derive the formula of electron conductivity and find the electron hops between localized states whose energies are close to each other, whereas localized positions differ from each other greatly. At low temperature the disordered system has the character of the negative differential dependence of resistivity and temperature.

To meet the market requirements for Flexible Transf er Line (FTL), which consists of modular NC machining tools of high quality and co st saving, the methodologies and technologies of client-oriented FTL rapid resp onse schematic design CAPP-based, one of the key techniques, are presented in t his paper. In order to achieve this purpose, an integrated system for integrated design of CAD/CAPP/FTL with box-type parts is realized. In this paper, firstly the theory of the conceptual design of FTL based on CAPP is established and the software architecture is developed. The global-domain pr oduct model is put forward to meet with data representation. After the manufactu ring feature is analyzed and decomposed for machining operations, the feature-b ased part unified data model object-oriented is built. Secondly the knowledge- based CAPP system data model is established. The process planning unit model is formed by work element (WE), which is tool-cell based function abstraction meth od, and has unified layers with respect to designing and manufacturing. With WEs through dynamic response and simultaneous structure in process planning, the pr inciple solution for CAPP function system can be implemented. Lastly the mapping from process domain to module design domain is built. The unidirectional select ion process based on fuzzy matching technology is easily dealt with computer. Th e algorithm of decision with fuzzy synthetic evaluation method and technology is applied to estimate the feasibility of the results in local working procedure o f modular NC machine tools and make decision of designs in overall FTL, which co nsists of many different factors. The example shows that the rapid response desi gn in bidding-based FTL scheme design is realized.

Direct Electron Transfer Reactions of Glucose Oxidase and D-Amino Acid Oxidase at a Glassy Carbon Electrode in Organic Media

Cyclic voltammetry is employed to demonstrate feasibility of direct electron transfer of glucose oxidase and D amino acid oxidase at a glassy carbon electrode in organic media. The reversible slight conformational change of glucose oxidase is observed by changing 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer to acetonitrile containing 10% v/v of water and 0.05 mol/L tetrabutyalammonium perchlorate, and vice versa.

Sediment transport following water transfer from Yangtze River to Taihu Basin

To meet the increasing ：need of fresh water and to improve the water quality of Taihu Lake, water transfer from the Yangtze River was initiated in 2002. This study was performed to investigate the sediment distribution along the river course following water transfer. A rainfall-runoff model was first built to calculate the runoff of the Taihu Basin in 2003. Then, the flow patterns of river networks were simulated using a one-dimensional river network hydrodynamic model. Based on the boundary conditions of the flow in tributaries of the Wangyu River and the water level in Taihu Lake, a one-dimensional hydrodynamic and sediment transport numerical model of the Wangyu River was built to analyze the influences of the inflow rate of the water transfer and the suspended sediment concentration （SSC） of inflow on the sediment transport. The results show that the water transfer inflow rate and SSC of inflow have significant effects on the sediment distribution. The higher the inflow rate or SSC of inflow is, the higher the SSC value is at certain cross-sections along the ：river course of water transfer. Higher inflow rate and SSC of inflow contribute to higher sediment deposition per kilometer and sediment thickness. It is also concluded that a sharp decrease of the inflow velocity at the entrance of the Wangyu River on the river course of water transfer induces intense sedimentation at the cross-section near the Changshu hydro-junction. With an increasing distance from the Changshu hydro-junction, the sediment deposition and sedimentation thickness decrease gradually along the river course.

Hierarchical monolithic carbon with high transfer performance for hydrogen evolution reaction

Electrocatalysis is an efficient green process for energy conversion.However,for gas-related electrocatalytic reaction,sluggish gas transport has inhibited significantly the promotion of electrocatalytic performances.Herein,hierarchical monolithic material 3 DPC-650 and 3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2) were prepared by3 D printing polyethyleneimine cross-linking oxygenated carbon nanotube and following nickel electrodeposition.3 DPC-650 and 3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2) have regular pore structure in consistence with3 D printing design and uniform dispersed elements.Amide bonds and carbon defects are presented on the surface of 3 DPC-650 and 3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2) as well as uniformly distributed β-Ni(OH)_(2) on3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2).3 DPC-650 and 3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2) present lower overpotentials of 322 and160 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction in 1.0 M KOH at 50 mA cm^(-2),respectively.The ordered channel,high turnover frequency and electrochemically active surface area,hydrophilic and aerophobic properties result in the higher performance of 3 DPC-650 and 3 DPC-650@Ni/Ni(OH)_(2) than traditional supports(carbon paper,carbon cloth,and nickel foam) and electrocatalysts.This work provides an efficient pathway for design and preparation of the monolithic electrocatalyst and electrode used for electrochemical reactions where gas is involved.

MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diodes based on comprehensive transfer technique

Due to the pristine interface of the 2D/3D face-tunneling heterostructure with an ultra-sharp doping profile, the 2D/3D tunneling field-effect transistor(TFET) is considered as one of the most promising low-power devices that can simultaneously obtain low off-state current(IOFF), high on-state current(ION) and steep subthreshold swing(SS). As a key element for the 2D/3D TFET, the intensive exploration of the tunnel diode based on the 2D/3D heterostructure is in urgent need.The transfer technique composed of the exfoliation and the release process is currently the most common approach to fabricating the 2D/3D heterostructures. However, the well-established transfer technique of the 2D materials is still unavailable.Only a small part of the irregular films can usually be obtained by mechanical exfoliation, while the choice of the chemical exfoliation may lead to the contamination of the 2D material films by the ions in the chemical etchants. Moreover, the deformation of the 2D material in the transfer process due to its soft nature also leads to the nonuniformity of the transferred film,which is one of the main reasons for the presence of the wrinkles and the stacks in the transferred film. Thus, the large-scale fabrication of the high-quality 2D/3D tunnel diodes is limited. In this article, a comprehensive transfer technique that can mend up the shortages mentioned above with the aid of the water and the thermal release tape(TRT) is proposed. Based on the method we proposed, the MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is experimentally demonstrated and the transferred monolayer MoS_(2) film with the relatively high crystal quality is confirmed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and Raman characterizations. Besides, the prominent negative differential resistance(NDR) effect is observed at room temperature, which verifies the relatively high quality of the MoS_(2)/Si heterojunction. The bilayer MoS_(2)/Si tunnel diode is also experimentally fabricated by repeating the transfer process we proposed, followed by the specific analysis of the electrical characteristics. This study shows the advantages of the transfer technique we proposed and indicates the great application foreground of the fabricated 2D/3D heterostructure for ultralow-power tunneling devices.

Scheme for realizing quantum computation and quantum information transfer with superconducting qubits coupling to a 1D transmission line resonator

This paper proposes a simple scheme for realizing one-qubit and two-qubit quantum gates as well as multiqubit entanglement based on de-SQUID charge qubits through the control of their coupling to a 1D transmission line resonator （TLR）. The TLR behaves effectively as a quantum data-bus mode of a harmonic oscillator, which has several practical advantages including strong coupling strength, reproducibility, immunity to 1/f noise, and suppressed spontaneous emission. In this protocol, the data-bus does not need to stay adiabatically in its ground state, which results in not only fast quantum operation, hut also high-fidelity quantum information processing. Also, it elaborates the transfer process with the 1D transmission line.

Charge Transfer Mechanism and Spatial Density Correlation of Electronic States of Excited Zinc (3d⁹) Films

In material science, half filled 3d orbital of transition metals is essentially an important factor controlling characteristics of alloys and compounds. This paper presents a result of the challenge of excitation of inner-core electron system with long lifetime of zinc films. The advanced zinc films with excited inner-core electron, 3dn (n = 9, 8). We report experimental results of XPS measurements of 9 points in the sample along vertical direction, respectively. The most pronounced futures are existence of satellites, which are about 4 eV higher than the main lines. According to the charge transfer mechanism proposed by A. Kotani and K. Okada, it was clarified that the origins of these peaks are c3d9L for the main peak and c3d9 for the satellite, respectively. From the energy difference, δEB, and peak intensity ratio, I+/I-, between c3d9 and c3d10L, the energy for charge transfer, Δ, and mixing energy, T, were estimated. In the region where the intensity of c3d10L becomes large, Δ becomes small, 1.2 Δdc = 5.5 eV and Udd = 5.5 eV. In the analysis along vertical direction, intensity profile of Zn3d9 showed odd functional symmetry and that of Zn3d10L showed even functional symmetry. Only the intensity profile of C1s (288 eV) showed the same spatial correlation with Zn3d9. In our experiment, the sample also showed high mobility of the constituting elements. These suggest that charge conservation in excited zinc atom suggests combination between Zn3d9 and C2-.
