The experiment of post-weld heat treatment for the hot roll bonded titanium alloy-stainless steel joint using nickels interlayer was carried out, and the interface microstructure evolution due to heat treatment was presented. There was not found significant interdiffusion at stainless steel/nickel interface, when the specimens were heat treated in the temperature range of 600-800 °C for 10 and 30 min, while micro-cracks occurred at the stainless steel/nickel interface heat treated at 700 °C for 30 min. The thickness of intermetallic layers at nickel/titanium alloy interface increased at 600 °C, and micro-cracks occurred at 700 and 800 °C. The micro-cracks occurred between intermetallic layers or between intermetallic layer and nickel interlayer as well. The tensile strength of the transition joint decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature or holding time.展开更多

Although thiopurines are lymphotoxic at high doses, and have been reported to cause T cell apoptosis in vitro, their ability to control IBD at lower doses suggests that they may selectively deplete particular lymphocyte populations. Blood cells from 19 IBD patients on a thiopurine, 19 IBD patients not on a thiopurine, and 38 matched healthy control subjects were analyzed by multiple multi-color flow cytometry panels to quantify the immune cell subsets contained therein, both as a percent of cells, and as an absolute cell count. Similar analyses were performed on colon biopsies from 17 IBD patients on a thiopurine, 17 IBD patients not on a thiopurine, and 49 healthy screening colonoscopy recipients.RESULTSComplete blood counts revealed lower lymphocyte, but not monocyte or granulocyte, counts in IBD patients who were taking thiopurines at the time of sampling. This reduction was restricted to CD3-negative lymphocytes, wherein both natural killer (NK) and B cells were significantly reduced among thiopurine recipients. Among CD19+ B cells, the transitional B cells were particularly depleted, being nearly absent in both blood and colon biopsies of thiopurine recipients. No differences were associated with thiopurine use in CD8+ T cells, mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, gamma/delta T cells, Th1, Th17, regulatory T cells (Tregs) or naïve CD4+ T cells. However, patients with IBD had significantly more circulating FOXP3+, Helios+ Tregs and fewer iNKT and MAIT cells than healthy controls.CONCLUSIONThiopurine use is associated with reduced B and NK cell, but not T cell, subpopulations in the blood of IBD patients.展开更多

Methods Individuals referred for evaluation of possible OSAHS underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG). Three conventional indices of sleep fragmentation [electroencephalography (EEG) arousals, apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI)], PTT arousals, and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) were compared. Results PTT arousals were positively correlated with EEG arousals (r= 0.746, P<0.001), AHI (r= 0.786, P<0.001), and ODI (r= 0.665, P<0.001), respectively. But, both PTT arousals and EEG arousals had no correlation with ESS (r= 0.432, P=0.201; r= 0.196, P=0.591, respectively). Conclusion PTT arousals are correlated well with other standard measures estimating severity of OSAHS and potentially a non-invasive marker with which to measure the sleep fragmentation in patients with OSAHS.展开更多

Joining process was performed in pressure range of 10-35 MPa at temperatures of 430-450 ℃ for 60 min under a vacuum of 13.3 MPa. The microstructure evaluation, phase analysis and distribution of elements at the interface were done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The pressure of 25 MPa was determined as the optimum pressure in which the minimum amount of plastic deformation takes place at the joint. Different reaction layers containing intermetallic compounds, such as Al12Mg17, Al3Mg2 andα(Al) solid solution, were observed, in interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Thickness of layers was increased with increasing the operating temperature. According to the results, diffusion of aluminum atoms into magnesium alloy was more and the interface movement towards the Al alloy was observed. The maximum bond strength of 38 MPa was achieved at the temperature of 440 ℃ and pressure of 25 MPa. Fractography studies indicated that the brittle fracture originated from Al3Mg2 phase.展开更多

Factors determining the size of the total agricultural income are two sides: one is agricultural prices and the other is agricultural production. Obviously, because enhancements of China agricultural production capacity and several price increases of agricultural products, market saturation occurs in China' s major agricultural products and the price is close to or above the average level of international market. Simply relying on production increase and price hike has no longer satisfied growth needs of agricultural income.展开更多

Determination of the transition criteria for the intermittent and continuous disturbance is of importance for the penetration calculation of the escaping jet and the design of ERA(explosive reactive armour). In this paper a new criteria was presented based on the analysis of interaction process, and the effects of NATO angle and thickness of flying plate on the disturbance frequency were discussed. It is shown that the critical shaped charge jet velocity increases with the plate thickness and NATO angle, especially increases drastically between 45° and 60°.展开更多

As opposed to traditional Trost-Tsuji reactions, this strategy avoids the prefunctionalization of the alkene. Many transi- tion metals have been used to promote such processes, and palladium has proved to be one of the best catalysts as it offers great advantages from the point of view of substrate scope and selectivity. Therefore, many groundbreaking re- suits obtained with Pd-catalyzed processes have been re- ported, including allylic C-H oxygenation, amination, al- kylation, and other transformations, which have been well documented in reviews [1].展开更多

The ferry cover problem is to determine the minimum required boat capacity to safely transport n items represented by a conflict graph. The Alcuin number of a conflict graph is the smallest capacity of a boat for which the graph possesses a feasible ferry schedule. In this paper the authors determine the Alcuin number of regular graphs and graphs with maximum degree at most five.展开更多

Here, the preparation of the self-assembled MXene-gold nanoparticles (MXene@AuNPs) nanocomposites with tunable sizes is reported. The nano- composites are obtained via the self-reduction reactions of MXene material in a HAuCI4 solution at room temperature. The sizes of the Au particles can be well-controlled by reg- ulating the self-reduction reaction time. They can greatly in- fluence the catalytic behaviors of the MXene@AuNPs composites. MXene@AuNPs composites with optimized re- duction time show high catalytic performances and good cycle stability for model catalytic reactions of nRro-compounds, such as 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol. This work demon- strates a new approach for the preparation of tunable MXene- based self-assembled composites.展开更多

Self-developed large eddy simulation program of compressible N-S equations was used to describe the flow structures of T 106A LPT blade profile at Reynolds number of 1.1×10^5 based on the exit isentropic velocity and chord length. The com- putational results show the distributions of time-averaged wall-static pressure coefficient and mean skin-friction coefficient on the blade surface. The locations of laminar separation and reattachment points occur around 87% and 98% axial chord, which agree well with experiment data. The two-dimensional shear layer is gradually unstable along the downstream half of the suc- tion side as a result of the spanwise fluctuation and the roll up of shear layer via Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability. Three-dimensional motions appear near 84% axial chord which later triggers spanwise vortexes and streamwise vortexes, leading to transition to turbulence in the separation bubble. Through introducing the concept of dissipation function, the high loss mainly comes from the places where strong shear layer and intense fluctuation exist. Furthermore, the separation region is only an accumulation center of the low-energy fluid rather than an area of loss source.展开更多
