The target region is divided into small meshes,and all meshes are clustered into highly related groups using the spatial correlation among them. In each group,some representative meshes are selected as detecting meshes(DMs)using a multi-center mesh(MCM)clustering algorithm,while other meshes(EMs)are estimated according to their correlations with DMs and the Markov modeled dependence on history by MAP principle. Thus,detecting fewer meshes saves the sensing consumption. Since two independent estimation processes may provide contradictory results,minimum entropy principle is adopted to merge the results. Tested with data acquired by radio environment mapping measurement conducted in the downtown Beijing,our scheme is capable to reduce the consumption of traditional sensing method with acceptable sensing performance.展开更多

Acidic fibroblast growth factor(a FGF) promotes the growth and survival of neurons and is a possible treatment for peripheral nerve injury. Yet,the actual therapeutic utility of a FGF is limited by its short half-life and instability in vivo. In the present study,we prepared sulfated chitooligosaccharides(SCOS),which have heparinlike properties,to improve the bioactivity of a FGF. We investigated the protective effects of SCOS with or without a FGF on RSC96 cells exposed to Na2 S2 O4 hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay and cytotoxicity induced by Na2 S2 O4 was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release into the culture medium. Pretreatment with a FGF and SCOS dramatically decreased LDH release after injury compared to pretreatment with a FGF or SCOS alone. We subsequently prepared an a FGF/SCOS thermo-sensitive hydrogel with poloxamer and examined its effects in vivo. Paw withdrawal thresholds and thermal withdrawal latencies were measured in rats with sciatic nerve injury. Local injection of the a FGF/SCOS hydrogels(a FGF: 40,80 μg/kg) increased the efficiency of sciatic nerve repair compared to a FGF(80 μg/kg) hydrogel alone. Especially a FGF/SCOS thermo-sensitive hydrogel decreased paw withdrawal thresholds from 117.75 ± 8.38(g,4 d) to 65.74 ± 3.39(g,10 d),but a FGF alone group were 140.58 ± 27.54(g,4 d) to 89.12 ± 5.60(g,10 d)(a FGF dose was 80 μg/kg,P < 0.05,n = 8). The thermal withdrawal latencies decreased from 11.61 ± 2.26(s,4 d) to 2.37 ±0.67(s,10 d). However,a FGF alone group were from 17.69 ± 1.47(s,4 d) to4.65 ± 1.73(s,10 d)(P < 0.05,n = 8). Furthermore,the a FGF/SCOS hydrogels also exhibited good biocompatibility in mice. In summary,SCOS improved the protective effects of a FGF in RSC96 cells injured with Na2S2O4 and increased the efficiency of nerve repair and recovery of function in rats with sciatic nerve injury. These findings pave an avenue for the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies for peripheral nerve injury.展开更多

文摘Flexible biosensors with high accuracy and reliable operation in detecting pH and uric acid levels in body fluids are fabricated using well-engineered metaldoped porous carbon as electrode material.The gold nanoparticles@N-doped carbon in situ are prepared using wool keratin as both a novel carbon precursor and a stabilizer.The conducting electrode material is fabricated at 500℃ under customized parameters,which mimics A-B type(two different repeating units) polymeric material and displays excellent deprotonation performance(pH sensitivity).The obtained pH sensor exhibits high pH sensitivity of 57 mV/pH unit and insignificant relative standard deviation of 0.088%.Conversely,the composite carbon material with sp^2 structure prepared at 700℃ is doped with nitrogen and gold nanoparticles,which exhibits good conductivity and electrocatalytic activity for uric acid oxidation.The uric acid sensor has linear response over a range of 1-150 μM and a limit of detection 0.1 μM.These results will provide new avenues where biological material will be the best start,which can be useful to target contradictory applications through molecular engineering at mesoscale.

文摘In this paper,a space-time correlation based fast regional spectrum sensing(RSS)scheme is proposed to reduce the time and energy consumption of traditional spatial spectrum sensing. The target region is divided into small meshes,and all meshes are clustered into highly related groups using the spatial correlation among them. In each group,some representative meshes are selected as detecting meshes(DMs)using a multi-center mesh(MCM)clustering algorithm,while other meshes(EMs)are estimated according to their correlations with DMs and the Markov modeled dependence on history by MAP principle. Thus,detecting fewer meshes saves the sensing consumption. Since two independent estimation processes may provide contradictory results,minimum entropy principle is adopted to merge the results. Tested with data acquired by radio environment mapping measurement conducted in the downtown Beijing,our scheme is capable to reduce the consumption of traditional sensing method with acceptable sensing performance.

文摘Urea oxidation reaction (UOR),which has favorable thermodynamic energy barriers compared with oxygen evolution reaction (OER),can provide more cost-effective electrons for the renewable energy systems,but is trapped by its sluggish UOR kinetics and intricate reaction intermediates formation/desorption process.Herein,we report a novel and effective electrocatalyst consisting of carbon cloth supported nitrogen vacancies-enriched Ce-doped Ni_(3)N hierarchical nanosheets (Ce-Ni_(3)N @CC) to optimize the flat-footed UOR kinetics,especially the stiff rate-determine CO_(2)desorption step of UOR.Upon the introduction of valance state variable Ce,the resultant nitrogen vacancies enriched Ce-Ni_(3)N @CC exhibits an enhanced UOR performance where the operation voltage requires only 1.31 V to deliver the current density of 10 mA cm^(-2),which is superior to that of Ni_(3)N @CC catalyst (1.36 V) and other counterparts.Density functional theory (DFT) results demonstrate that the incorporation of Ce in Ni_(3)N lowers the formation energy of nitrogen vacancies,resulting in rich nitrogen vacancies in Ce-Ni_(3)N @CC.Moreover,the nitrogen vacancies together with Ce doping optimize the local charge distribution around Ni sites,and balance the adsorption energy of CO_(2)in the rate-determining step (RDS),as well as affect the initial adsorption structure of urea,leading to the superior UOR catalytic performance of Ce-Ni_(3)N @CC.When integrating the Ce-Ni_(3)N catalyst in UOR//HER and UOR//CO_(2)R flow electrolyzer,both of them perform well with low operation voltage and robust long-term stability,proofing that the thermodynamically favorable UOR can act as a suitable substitute anodic reaction compared with that of OER.Our findings here not only provide a novel UOR catalyst but also offer a promising design strategy for the future development of energy-related devices.

文摘The uncontrolled formation of lithium(Li)dendrites and the unnecessary consumption of electrolyte during the Li plating/stripping process have been major obstacles in developing safe and stable Li metal batteries.Herein,we report a cucumber-like lithiophilic composite skeleton(CLCS)fabricated through a facile oxidationimmersion-reduction method.The stepwise Li deposition and stripping,determined using in situ Raman spectra during the galvanostatic Li charging/discharging process,promote the formation of a dendrite-free Li metal anode.Furthermore,numerous pyridinic N,pyrrolic N,and CuxN sites with excellent lithiophilicity work synergistically to distribute Li ions and suppress the formation of Li dendrites.Owing to these advantages,cells based on CLCS exhibit a high Coulombic efficiency of 97.3%for 700 cycles and an improved lifespan of 2000 h for symmetric cells.The full cells assembled with LiFePO_(4)(LFP),SeS_(2) cathodes and CLCS@Li anodes demonstrate high capacities of 110.1 mAh g^(−1) after 600 cycles at 0.2 A g^(−1) in CLCS@Li|LFP and 491.8 mAh g^(−1) after 500 cycles at 1 A g^(−1) in CLCS@Li|SeS2.The unique design of CLCS may accelerate the application of Li metal anodes in commercial Li metal batteries.

文摘Injury to the peripheral nerves can result in temporary or life-long neuronal dysfunction and subsequent economic or social disability. Acidic fibroblast growth factor(a FGF) promotes the growth and survival of neurons and is a possible treatment for peripheral nerve injury. Yet,the actual therapeutic utility of a FGF is limited by its short half-life and instability in vivo. In the present study,we prepared sulfated chitooligosaccharides(SCOS),which have heparinlike properties,to improve the bioactivity of a FGF. We investigated the protective effects of SCOS with or without a FGF on RSC96 cells exposed to Na2 S2 O4 hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay and cytotoxicity induced by Na2 S2 O4 was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release into the culture medium. Pretreatment with a FGF and SCOS dramatically decreased LDH release after injury compared to pretreatment with a FGF or SCOS alone. We subsequently prepared an a FGF/SCOS thermo-sensitive hydrogel with poloxamer and examined its effects in vivo. Paw withdrawal thresholds and thermal withdrawal latencies were measured in rats with sciatic nerve injury. Local injection of the a FGF/SCOS hydrogels(a FGF: 40,80 μg/kg) increased the efficiency of sciatic nerve repair compared to a FGF(80 μg/kg) hydrogel alone. Especially a FGF/SCOS thermo-sensitive hydrogel decreased paw withdrawal thresholds from 117.75 ± 8.38(g,4 d) to 65.74 ± 3.39(g,10 d),but a FGF alone group were 140.58 ± 27.54(g,4 d) to 89.12 ± 5.60(g,10 d)(a FGF dose was 80 μg/kg,P < 0.05,n = 8). The thermal withdrawal latencies decreased from 11.61 ± 2.26(s,4 d) to 2.37 ±0.67(s,10 d). However,a FGF alone group were from 17.69 ± 1.47(s,4 d) to4.65 ± 1.73(s,10 d)(P < 0.05,n = 8). Furthermore,the a FGF/SCOS hydrogels also exhibited good biocompatibility in mice. In summary,SCOS improved the protective effects of a FGF in RSC96 cells injured with Na2S2O4 and increased the efficiency of nerve repair and recovery of function in rats with sciatic nerve injury. These findings pave an avenue for the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies for peripheral nerve injury.

文摘There is an urgent need to break through the trade-off between proton conductivity and ion selectivity of proton exchange membrane(PEM)in vanadium flow battery(VFB).Proton channels in PEM are the key to controlling the ion sieving and proton conductivity in VFB.Herein,two types of proton channels are reconstructed in the hybrid membrane via introducing modified Zr-MOFs(IM-UIO-66-AS)into SPEEK matrix.Internal proton channels in IM-UIO-66-AS and interfacial proton channels between grafted imidazole groups on Zr-MOFs and SPEEK greatly improve the conductivity of the IM-UIO-66-AS/SPEEK hybrid membrane.More importantly,both reconstructed proton channels block the vanadium-ion permeation to realize enhanced ion selectivity according to the size sieving and Donnan exclusion effects,respectively.Moreover,the hybrid membrane exhibits good mechanical property and dimensional stability.Benefiting from such rational design,a VFB loading with the optimized membrane exhibits enhanced voltage efficiency of 79.9%and outstanding energy efficiency of 79.6%at 200 m A cm^(-2),and keeps a notable cycle stability for 300 cycles in the long-term cycling test.Therefore,this study provides inspiration for preparing next-generation PEMs with high ion selectivity and proton conductivity for VFB application.
文摘To describe the dynamic cracking process of the CLT vertical layer,the correlation between a load-displacement curve,specimen cracking,and planar shear failure mechanism of the CLT were explored.A three-point bending test and an improved planar shear test are used to evaluate the shear performance of the CLT.In this study,the load-displacement curve is recorded,the experimental part is synchronized with the video,the dynamic process of cracking of the vertical layer is observed and analyzed throughout the test.From the load-displacement curve,the image characteristics of the initial cracking and the sudden increase of the cracking of the specimen are summar-ized.The description results of the whole dynamic process of the CLT vertical layer cracking are analyzed by pla-nar shear strength value,cracking phenomenon,and azimuth angle of cracking surface.The main conclusions show that the three-point bending test and the improved plain shear test can be used to test the plain shear strength of the CLT,with a difference of only 5.7%.The original crack and the new crack expansion account for 18.9%and 81.1%of the main cracking surface,respectively.And the vertical layer of the CLT specimen under three-point bending has three cracking morphologies,such as radial shake,ring shake,neither along with the radial shake nor along with the ring shake.The azimuth angle of the cracking surface of the CLT vertical layer under planar shear is quite consistent with the first main plane azimuth of the vertical layer of the CLT specimens under the three-point bending test and the shearing test.The shape in the cracking direction of the left half-span or the right half-span of the vertical layer of the specimen is similar to the Chinese character eight.
