It was found that EPT significantly improved nucleation rate and migration ability of grain boundaries, leading to accelerated recrystallization of the deformed metals at relatively low temperature. After the recrystallization induced by EPT, the average grain size of 20% rolling reduction samples decreased from 113 um to around 10 um, meanwhile the typical basal-type texture of the coldrolled sample was weakened. EPT was normally accompanied with a thermal and an athermal effects. The athermal effect played a dominated role in increasing nucleation rate, while the thermal effect promoted grain growth. A fewer recrystallized grains originated along the grain boundaries in the 10% reduction samples, while most of the recrystallization took place inside the twins in the 20% reduction samples.展开更多

Because bond-breaking is indifferent to either means, there is a kind of equivalence between heat energy and strain energy. Based on this equivalence, we assume the existence of a constant maximum storage of energy that includes both the strain energy and the corresponding equivalent heat energy. A temperaturedependent fracture strength model is then developed for ultrahigh temperature ceramics (UHTCs). Model predictions for UHTCs, HfB2, TiC and ZrB2, are presented and compared with the experimental results. These predictions are found to be largely consistent with experimental results.展开更多

Research on the mechanism of streamers under low-pressure conditions is helpful for understanding the process of long-gap discharge in a high-altitude area. This paper describes laboratory investigations of streamer discharge under alternating current(AC) voltage in a low pressure test platform for a 60 cm rod–plane gap at 30 kPa, and analyzes the characteristics of streamer generation and propagation. The results show that the partial streamer and breakdown streamer all occur in the positive half-cycle of AC voltage near the peak voltage at 30 kPa. The partial streamer could cause the distortion of current and voltage waveform, and it appears as the branching characteristic at the initial stage. With the extension of the streamer, the branching and tortuosity phenomena become gradually obvious, but the branching is suppressed when the streamer crosses the gap. The low-pressure condition has little influence on the tortuosity length and the tortuosity number of the streamer, but affect the diameter of streamer obviously.展开更多

The TSR of UHTCs is strongly dependent on the heat transfer modes and severity of the thermal environments. Constraining the displacement of the lower surface in the thickness direction can significantly decrease the TSR of the UHTC plate, which is subject to the thermal shock at the upper surface. In contrast, the TSR of the UHTC plate with simply supported edges or clamped edges around the lower surface is much better.展开更多

In this paper, we carry out laboratory investigations of self-organization in a lowpressure test platform for 100–200 mm rod-plane gaps with a needle tip, conical tip and hemispherical tip within 1–10 k Pa. The factors influencing the pattern profile are the pressure value, gap length and shape of the electrode, and a variety of pattern structures are observed by changing these factors. With increasing pressure, first the pattern diameter increases and then decreases. With the needle tip, layer structure, single-ring structure and double-ring structure are displayed successively with increasing pressure. With the conical tip, the ring-like structure gradually forms separate spots with increasing pressure. With the hemispherical tip, there are anode spots inside the ring structure. With the increase of gap length, the diameter of the selforganized pattern increases and the profile of the pattern changes. The development process of the pattern contains three key stages: pattern enlargement, pattern stabilization and pattern shrink.展开更多

These artifacts can cause serious problems in subsequent operations such as finite element analysis, reverse engineering, animation, and simulation. In this study we propose a practical method for repairing topological and geometrical errors on mesh. First, coincident vertices during mesh input are removed, fol- lowed by the identification of non-manifold vertices and edges. The non-manifold vertices are modified, and the facets having non-manifold edges are removed. Finally, faces that have the wrong orientations in the mesh are re-oriented. Experiments show that our methods can eliminate most common mesh errors quickly and effectively. The refined mesh can be properly used in subsequent operations.展开更多

With the regional trial results in Baoying, Jiangsu province, this paper explored the fusion model and effect of ENVISAT/SAR and HJ-1A satel ite multispectral remote sensing images. Based on the ARSIS strat-egy, using the wavelet transform and the Interaction between the Band Structure Model (IBSM), the research progressed the ENVISAT satel ite SAR and the HJ-1A satel ite CCD images wavelet decomposition, and low/high frequency coefficient re-construction, and obtained the fusion images through the inverse wavelet transform. In the light of low and high-frequency images have different characteristics in differ-ent areas, different fusion rules which can enhance the integration process of self-adaptive were taken, with comparisons with the PCA transformation, IHS transfor-mation and other traditional methods by subjective and the corresponding quantita-tive evaluation. Furthermore, the research extracted the bands and NDVI values around the fusion with GPS samples, analyzed and explained the fusion effect. The results showed that the spectral distortion of wavelet fusion, IHS transform, PCA transform images was 0.101 6, 0.326 1 and 1.277 2, respectively and entropy was 14.701 5, 11.899 3 and 13.229 3, respectively, the wavelet fusion is the highest. The method of wavelet maintained good spectral capability, and visual effects while improved the spatial resolution, the information interpretation effect was much better than other two methods.展开更多

摘要Microstructure stability is essential to maintain a fine grain structure for an alloy throughout its processing.The effects of Er addition and its existing form on the static recrystallization and grain growth during annealing of an extruded Mg-1.5Zn-0.6Zr magnesium alloy were studied in this paper.The results showed that microstructure stability was much improved by Er addition and the best thermability was obtained in 2 wt.%Er-containing alloy.For the incomplete dynamic recrystallization(DRX)microstructures extruded at a lower temperature of 350℃,Er addition increased the resistance of static recrystallization;and for the complete DRX microstructures extruded at a relatively high temperature of 420℃,Er addition suppressed grain growth.The difference in microstructure stability was then correlated with the microstructure features.Both the intermetallic phase and the solute atoms of Er inα-Mg matrix contributed to the microstructure stability.Moreover,it is believed that the existing form of Er-Zn atom pairs in theα-Mg solid solution favored the most to improve the thermal stability of the alloy.

摘要AZ61 Mg alloy with homogeneous refined microstructure and exceptional mechanical properties was obtained by the combined technology of equal-channel angular pressing(ECAP)and electropulsing treatment(EPT)in this paper.Based on an ECAP die with an intersection angle of 160,the lower temperature is particularly adapted for AZ61 alloy to be deformed,in which accompanied by high accumulated defects density.The recrystallization of EPTed samples during different stages indicated that the recrystallization behavior of the deformed Mg alloy was mainly affected by the processing time and duration of EPT.Compared to those of the as-received samples,the average grain size of the EPTed samples was refined from 89μm to 1.0μm,accordingly the yields stress(YS)and ultimate tensile strength(UTS)were increased from 100 MPa and 260 MPa to 330 MPa and 448 MPa,respectively.The mechanisms of microstructure transformation and the reinforced mechanical properties were analyzed based on the strain of single ECAP,cumulative storage energy and the athermal effect of EPT.

摘要Breaking down the entire structure of a material implies severing all the bonds between its atoms either by applying work or by heat transfer. Because bond-breaking is indifferent to either means, there is a kind of equivalence between heat energy and strain energy. Based on this equivalence, we assume the existence of a constant maximum storage of energy that includes both the strain energy and the corresponding equivalent heat energy. A temperaturedependent fracture strength model is then developed for ultrahigh temperature ceramics (UHTCs). Model predictions for UHTCs, HfB2, TiC and ZrB2, are presented and compared with the experimental results. These predictions are found to be largely consistent with experimental results.

摘要The generation and propagation of a streamer is a significant physical process of air gap discharge. Research on the mechanism of streamers under low-pressure conditions is helpful for understanding the process of long-gap discharge in a high-altitude area. This paper describes laboratory investigations of streamer discharge under alternating current(AC) voltage in a low pressure test platform for a 60 cm rod–plane gap at 30 kPa, and analyzes the characteristics of streamer generation and propagation. The results show that the partial streamer and breakdown streamer all occur in the positive half-cycle of AC voltage near the peak voltage at 30 kPa. The partial streamer could cause the distortion of current and voltage waveform, and it appears as the branching characteristic at the initial stage. With the extension of the streamer, the branching and tortuosity phenomena become gradually obvious, but the branching is suppressed when the streamer crosses the gap. The low-pressure condition has little influence on the tortuosity length and the tortuosity number of the streamer, but affect the diameter of streamer obviously.

摘要Sediment samples were collected at 17 stations in the central Bohai Sea,China,and the diversity and community structure of eukaryotic microalgae were assessed by metabarcoding the V4 region of 18S r DNA.A total of 930 operational taxonomic units(OTUs)were detected for microeukaryotes,including 98algal OTUs.The algal communities comprised 42 genera belonging to 19 classes of six phyla,and they were dominated by chrysophytes and dinoflagellates.Dinoflagellates were also the most diverse microalgal group.The nano-sized dinoflagellates Biecheleria halophila and Azadinium trinitatum occurred abundantly in the study area;however,they have not been reported previously,as they may be overlooked or misidentified in light microscopy.Many pico-sized chlorophytes were detected in the sediment samples.Sixteen of the detected OTUs were assigned to potentially harmful and/or bloom-forming microalgae,suggesting some potential risks of harmful algal blooms in the central Bohai Sea.The capacity of metabarcoding to detect morphologically cryptic and small species makes this method a sufficiently sensitive means of detection for assessing eukaryotic microalgae in sediments.

摘要Surface sediment samples were collected in three different functional sea areas in Qingdao coast,East China,including the inner Jiaozhou Bay,the Laoshan Coast,and the Amphioxus Reserve area.Diversity and community structure of eukaryotic algae especially those of phytoplankton resting stages were assessed by metabarcoding V4 region of the 18S rDNA.Biogenic elements including total organic carbon(TOC),organic matter(OM),total nitrogen(TN),total phosphorus(TP),and biogenic silicon(BSi)were analyzed.A total of 1496 eukaryotic operational taxonomic units(OTUs)were measured,including 207algal OTUs,which contributed to 13.84%of the total OTUs.Ninety-eight species in 8 phyla,24 classes of eukaryotic algae were detected.Among them,47 species have been reported to form resting stages,and 12 species are firstly recorded in Chinese coastal waters.Dinofl agellates dominated in both DNA reads and OTU richness,which contributed to 73.02%and 61.35%of the eukaryotic algal sequences and OTU richness,respectively.DNA reads,OTU richness and alpha diversity indexes of eukaryotic algae were higher in the Laoshan Coast,and lower in Jiaozhou Bay.Eukaryotic algal community differed in the three sea areas,which was dominated by chrysophytes in Jiaozhou Bay,by dinofl agellates in the Laoshan Coast,and co-dominated by dinoflagellates and chrysophytes in the Amphioxus Reserve area.Clustering analysis showed that the Laoshan Coast and the Amphioxus Reserve area are clustered together,while Jiaozhou Bay is clustered separately.Thirty-six harmful algal bloom(HAB)species were detected,and 10 species have been reported to form blooms in Jiaozhou Bay and the Qingdao coast before.Some of these species occurred widely and dominantly in this study,suggesting high potential risk of HABs in the Qingdao coastal area.

摘要Zn-10 Mg composite with a core-shell structure was prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)technology,and a systematic study of the microstructure and properties has been conducted for different sintering times.The shell layer dominated by the hard MgZn2 phase thickens with the increase in sintering time,which has a positive effect on the mechanical and degradation properties of the material.The sample sintered for 20 min(T-20)has the best mechanical properties,with a compressive strength of 226 MPa and a compression rate of 6.5%.The corrosion resistance of samples increases as the sintering time prolongs,while the hydrogen evolution volume and pH value decrease in the immersion experiment.Furthermore,the increase in the shell thickness significantly reduces the corrosion rate,which is attributed to the weakening of the galvanic corrosion reaction between the Mg core and the MgZn2 shell.Therefore,composite with unique core-shell structure provides an advanced design idea for degradable biomaterials,and a reasonable control of sintering time can provide the optimal design strategy.

摘要The effects of mechanical boundary conditions, often encountered in thermalstructural engineering, on the thermal shock resistance(TSR) of ultra-high temperature ceramics(UHTCs) are studied by investigating the TSR of a UHTC plate with various types of constraints under the first, second, and third type of thermal boundary conditions. The TSR of UHTCs is strongly dependent on the heat transfer modes and severity of the thermal environments. Constraining the displacement of the lower surface in the thickness direction can significantly decrease the TSR of the UHTC plate, which is subject to the thermal shock at the upper surface. In contrast, the TSR of the UHTC plate with simply supported edges or clamped edges around the lower surface is much better.

摘要Self-organization phenomena on the surface of a metal electrode in low-pressure DC discharge is studied. In this paper, we carry out laboratory investigations of self-organization in a lowpressure test platform for 100–200 mm rod-plane gaps with a needle tip, conical tip and hemispherical tip within 1–10 k Pa. The factors influencing the pattern profile are the pressure value, gap length and shape of the electrode, and a variety of pattern structures are observed by changing these factors. With increasing pressure, first the pattern diameter increases and then decreases. With the needle tip, layer structure, single-ring structure and double-ring structure are displayed successively with increasing pressure. With the conical tip, the ring-like structure gradually forms separate spots with increasing pressure. With the hemispherical tip, there are anode spots inside the ring structure. With the increase of gap length, the diameter of the selforganized pattern increases and the profile of the pattern changes. The development process of the pattern contains three key stages: pattern enlargement, pattern stabilization and pattern shrink.
摘要In representing automobile parts with mesh in the field of reverse engineering or finite element generation, the mesh reconstruction and data exchanging between different CAD/CAM systems often introduce many invisible topological and geometrical errors into mesh. These artifacts can cause serious problems in subsequent operations such as finite element analysis, reverse engineering, animation, and simulation. In this study we propose a practical method for repairing topological and geometrical errors on mesh. First, coincident vertices during mesh input are removed, fol- lowed by the identification of non-manifold vertices and edges. The non-manifold vertices are modified, and the facets having non-manifold edges are removed. Finally, faces that have the wrong orientations in the mesh are re-oriented. Experiments show that our methods can eliminate most common mesh errors quickly and effectively. The refined mesh can be properly used in subsequent operations.

摘要Because of cloudy and rainy weather in south China, optical remote sens-ing images often can't be obtained easily. With the regional trial results in Baoying, Jiangsu province, this paper explored the fusion model and effect of ENVISAT/SAR and HJ-1A satel ite multispectral remote sensing images. Based on the ARSIS strat-egy, using the wavelet transform and the Interaction between the Band Structure Model (IBSM), the research progressed the ENVISAT satel ite SAR and the HJ-1A satel ite CCD images wavelet decomposition, and low/high frequency coefficient re-construction, and obtained the fusion images through the inverse wavelet transform. In the light of low and high-frequency images have different characteristics in differ-ent areas, different fusion rules which can enhance the integration process of self-adaptive were taken, with comparisons with the PCA transformation, IHS transfor-mation and other traditional methods by subjective and the corresponding quantita-tive evaluation. Furthermore, the research extracted the bands and NDVI values around the fusion with GPS samples, analyzed and explained the fusion effect. The results showed that the spectral distortion of wavelet fusion, IHS transform, PCA transform images was 0.101 6, 0.326 1 and 1.277 2, respectively and entropy was 14.701 5, 11.899 3 and 13.229 3, respectively, the wavelet fusion is the highest. The method of wavelet maintained good spectral capability, and visual effects while improved the spatial resolution, the information interpretation effect was much better than other two methods.

摘要Accumulating evidence shows that bacteria influence cancer homeostasis,yet the effects of tumor‑associated microbes and their products remain largely unexplored.We previously reported that P.aeruginosa–cancer crosstalk suppresses tumors via the bacterial cupredoxin azurin,and we developed an azurin‑derived peptide that was tested in clinical trials.Building on our previous studies,we studied tumor-resident bacteria for novel therapeutics and targets.Photosynthetic bacteria from the phylum Chloroflexota,including a member of the class Chloroflexia,identified in tumors,carry the cupredoxin auracyanin gene.Based on the structural and chemical characteristics of auracyanin,we designed a novel cell-penetrating peptide,aurB.Plant chloroplasts are thought to have evolved from a bacterial endosymbiont,and both chloroplasts and mitochondria possess shared proteins essential for ATP-dependent energy production,indicating that these bacterial-derived proteins may influence mitochondrial function.Consistent with this model,we demonstrated that aurB,a peptide from cupredoxin auracyanin B,localized at mitochondria,blocked energy production by targeting ATP synthase in prostate cancer cells,thereby significantly inhibiting tumor growth.More strikingly,combination treatment with aurB and radiation therapy significantly inhibited tumor growth in a tibial bone metastasis model.Moreover,the number of metastatic lesions in the lungs was also significantly lower upon aurB treatment.Multiplex RNA-expression profiling revealed that the inhibition of ATP production by aurB increased the efficacy of radiation therapy by modulating multiple pathways involving HIF-1α.Our findings indicate that electron transfer proteins could represent an important source of promising novel peptide-based agents that target the aberrantly activated mitochondrial energy system in cancer.
