Effects of Nano-carbon Humic Acid Water-retaining Fertilizer on Citrus Growth and the Soil Bacterial Community in Citrus Field

[Objective] In order to reveal the effects of reducing the amount of novel nano-carbon humic acid water-retaining fertilizer(CSF) on soil microbial community structure and citrus growth. [Method]In this study,conventional fertilization was as the control(KC1) in Wanzhou citrus orchard of Three Gorges Reservoir area. CSF reductions by 0%(KC2),10%(KC3),20%(KC4),30%(KC5) and 40%(KC6) were used to analyze the changes of soil bacterial community structure,citrus yield and quality. [Result]The results showed that the observed species,Shannon index,Chao1 index and PDwholetree of KC6 were higher than those of KC1,and were the same as KC2. The abundance of Xanthomonadaceae was the highest in KC5. Compared with KC1,the Xanthomonadaceae in KC3,KC4 and KC6 was significantly decreased,and the levels of Nitrosomonadaceae and Pseudomonasaceae were higher than that of KC1 after the treatment of KC6. Sphingomonas in different reduction treatments was lower than that of KC1,but Burkholderia and Pseudomonas were significantly higher than those of KC1. It was found that the similarity among treatments was small after bacterial community similarity clustering analysis,and citrus yield increased somewhat after CSF fertilization reduction.When CSF fertilization reduced by 30%,citrus yield increased by 4. 50%. When CSF fertilization reduced by 40%,citrus yield decreased by4. 14%. After CSF fertilization,citrus quality did not change significantly in CSF conventional fertilization and reduction of 10% and 40%,while significantly decreased in 20% and 30% of fertilization reduction. [Conclusion] CSF fertilization reduction changed the diversity of soil bacterial community structure and the yield and quality of citrus.

Follow-up effect and safety value of nano-carbon on shoulder joint after lymphatic chemotherapy for breast cancer

Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of nano-carbon on shoulder joint after lymphatic chemotherapy for breast cancer. Methods:164 patients Breast cancer patients, Sc group (docetaxel + CNP), Dd group (docetaxel), Sc group and Dd group were selected to observe shoulder joint function, docetaxel concentration in Sc group and Dd group after 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h injection of chemotherapy, apoptotic index of metastatic lymph nodes, apoptosis rate of lymph node cells, Sc group and Dd group were observed. The occurrence of adverse reactions. Results:The concentration of paclitaxel in the lymph nodes of the Sc group was significantly higher than that of the Dd group at 12h, 24h, 36, 48h. The concentration of paclitaxel was the highest in the group of 24h in the Sc group, and the lowest in the 48h group. 0.05);The AI index of the chemotherapy group was significantly higher than that of the Dd group at 12h, 24h, 36, 48h in the Sc group (P<0.05). The AI index of the AI index of the 36h injection chemotherapy group and the 48h injection chemotherapy group in the Sc group and the Dd group were compared. The difference was not significant (P>0.05). The apoptosis rate of lymphocytes in the group of 12h, 24h, 36th and 48h in the Sc group was significantly higher than that in the Dd group (P<0.05). The patients in the Sc group and the Dd group were injected with chemotherapy for 48 hours. There was no significant difference in lymph node cell apoptosis rate between the injection chemotherapy patients (P>0.05);the incidence of adverse reactions in the Dd group (15%) was higher than that in the Sc group (7.1%), but there was no difference (P>0.05);There was no significant difference in the function of shoulder joint function between the Dd group and the Dd group (P>0.05). The score of the shoulder joint function score in the Sc group was increased compared with the Dd group (P<0.05). Conclusions:Carbon nanoparticles are of high value and safety in the application of lymphatic chemotherapy to shoulder joint after breast cancer surgery, which is worthy of wide application in clinical treatment of breast cancer.

Effect of nano-carbon black content on wetting phenomenon of molten steel and alumina-carbon ceramic filter substrates

The effect of nano-carbon black content(O,8 and 12 wt.%)on the wettability of molten steel on Al_(2)O_(3)-C substrates was investigated by the sessile drop wetting method at 1500℃ under argon atmosphere.At the beginning of the wetting experiment,the contact angle decreased with the increase in nano-carbon black content.As the wetting experiment progressed,FeAl_(2)0_(4) layer and sheet Al_(2)O_(3) layer were found at the interface between the molten steel and the Al_(2)O_(3)-C substrates with O and 8 wt.% nano-carbon black content,and the contact angle deceased with time.When the content of nano-carbon black was 12 wt.%,a large number of nano-Al_(2)O_(3) whiskers were observed,which made the contact angle between the molten steel and Al_(2)O_(3)-C substrate become large.Based on the scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry results,the formation mechanism of FeAl2O4 layer and Al_(2)O_(3) layer and the interfacial reaction mechanism were proposed.

Preparation of silver nanoparticle via active template under ultrasonic

A novel method was described for the production of silver nanoparticle by using nano-carbon as active template.Special ultrasonic condition was used to assure the active effect of the template and achieve an even and stable micro-reactor system,therefore yield uniform silver nanoparticle without obvious agglomeration.By laser granularity instrument measurement,the silver nanoparticles show a mean diameter of 20.4 nm and narrow distribution between 18.7 nm and 23.0 nm according to the optimum technology.Regular spherical morphology can be observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that Ag+ is deoxidized to form metal Ag during producing precursor,subsequent calcinations promote phase transformation from nonholonomic crystal to complete cubic crystal,which is consistent with the standard JCPDS card of silver.The results reveal that the nano-carbon in active template system not only exerts micro-reactor and steric stabilization effect,but also acts as reducing agent during the reaction.

A hygro-thermo-mechanical constitutive model for shape memory polymers filled with nano-carbon powder

The nano-carbon powders are often used as fillers to endow the shape memory polymers(SMPs)with electroconductivity.It has been found that the shape memory effects(SMEs)of SMPs filled with nano-carbon powder can be triggered both by temperature and by water.To reveal the driving mechanism of SMEs,a constitutive model for describing the thermally activated and moisture activated SMEs of these shape memory polymer composite(SMPCs)is developed here.Because both of the SMEs share the same driving mechanism,the variable moisture is incorporated into the framework of a thermo-mechanical modeling approach to disclose the effect of moisture on the thermoviscoelastic properties.The SMPCs are regarded as isotropic materials and the effect of carbon powder on the mechanical properties of the matrix is also considered in the paper.Because the complete recovery may not be reached even they are exposed to the stimulus environment long enough,the blocking mechanism is also considered here.This is the mainly new contribution compared to the early work.Using the method of parameter determination presented here,the effectiveness of the proposed hygro-thermo-mechanical constitutive model is confirmed by comparing the model results with the test data of uniaxial deformation from the literature.
