辽西风积土动剪切模量与阻尼比特性试验研究

研究辽西风积土的动力特性离不开其动剪切模量与阻尼比这两个最基本的参数. 通过一系列动三轴试验, 分析了围压、固结比、振动频率对原状风积土的动剪切模量与阻尼比的影响情况, 并探讨了其产生的机理. 通过试验数据分析表明, 风积土的动剪切模量随围压的增大而增大, 但阻尼比随围压的增大而减小; 动剪切模量随固结比的增大而增大, 阻尼比随固结比的增大而减小; 动剪切模量和阻尼比均随振动频率的增大而增大, 但影响较小, 不如前两个因素明显.     

偏置模式波前传感器光强信息提取及输出信号对比分析

 在小像差近似下,对偏置模式波前传感器进行了理论分析,明确了该传感器的适用条件,对比分析了3种信息提取方式和3种传感器信号输出方式的优劣。针对Zernike像差模式,数值模拟研究了传感器对单阶和多阶模式的响应特性。结果表明,畸变波前中与偏置模式相同或相关的模式之间有响应,但传感器对各阶Zernike模式的响应灵敏度不同,而且不相关模式的存在对传感器输出信号和灵敏度均有影响。     

相位光栅型曲率传感器的波前校正算法

 针对相位光栅曲率传感器能够测量波前曲率在光瞳面上分布的特点,提出了一种采用整个空间分布的曲率信号来实现波前校正的算法。用曲率型变形镜影响函数的曲率信号在光瞳面上的分布来拟合待校正波前的曲率信号,采用最小二乘方法得到变形镜的控制电压,实现波前校正过程。数值模拟了一种41单元曲率型自适应光学系统采用该算法的波前校正过程。结果表明,对4至28阶Zernike像差体现了校正效果,对曲率为0的Zernike像差校正效果略好于曲率不为0的Zernike像差。与传统分区法的校正效果相比,整体法对Zernike像差的校正效果基本相当。整体法无需对光瞳面上的曲率信号进行与电极分布相同的分区,降低了对系统校准的要求。     

Fabrication of superhydrophobic surface from binary micro-/nano-structure of mullite-whisk-based films

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) modes and near field gap enhancement of bowtie nanoantennas with triangle void defects are studied numerically. According to the location of the defects, we classify them into four categories: inner, edge, base and vertex defects. It is concluded that inner and base defects have little impact on both SPR modes and gap enhancement while edge and vertex defects which lead to mode splitting have great impact on the gap enhancement with symmetry breaking. Specifically, the size and location of edge defects have a remarkable effect on the resonant modes, especially for the low-energy resonant mode. When the edge defect gets close to the gap, the gap enhancement increases even above that of bowties with no defects. These properties are instructive to the evaluation of the fabrication of bowtie nanoantennas. And, by careful control of the defect location, we can get useful resonant modes and increase the gap enhancement for applications such as broadband light harvesting, ultra-fast wavelength-sensitive photodetection and fluorescent detection for two or more targets.

Promoting Proton Transfer and Stabilizing Intermediates in Catalytic Water Oxidation via Hydrophobic Outer Sphere Interactions

The outer coordination sphere of metalloenzyme often plays an important role in its high catalytic activity, however, this principle is rarely considered in the design of man-made molecular catalysts. Herein, four Ru-bda (bda=2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate) based molecular water oxidation catalysts with well-defined outer spheres are designed and synthesized. Experimental and theoretical studies showed that the hydrophobic environment around the Ru center could lead to thermodynamic stabilization of the high-valent intermediates and kinetic acceleration of the proton transfer process during catalytic water oxidation. By this outer sphere stabilization, a 6-fold rate increase for water oxidation catalysis has been achieved.     

A Multi-Omics Study of Human Testis and Epididymis

The human testis and epididymis play critical roles in male fertility, including the spermatogenesis process, sperm storage, and maturation. However, the unique functions of the two organs had not been systematically studied. Herein, we provide a systematic and comprehensive multi-omics study between testis and epididymis. RNA-Seq profiling detected and quantified 19,653 in the testis and 18,407 in the epididymis. Proteomic profiling resulted in the identification of a total of 11,024 and 10,386 proteins in the testis and epididymis, respectively, including 110 proteins that previously have been classified as MPs (missing proteins). Furthermore, Five MPs expressed in testis were validated by the MRM method. Subsequently, multi-omcis between testis and epididymis were performed, including biological functions and pathways of DEGs (Differentially Expressed Genes) in each group, revealing that those differences were related to spermatogenesis, male gamete generation, as well as reproduction. In conclusion, this study can help us find the expression regularity of missing protein and help related scientists understand the physiological functions of testis and epididymis more deeply.     

Multifunctional Hydrogels with Temperature,Ion, and Magnetocaloric Stimuli‐Responsive Performances

In this work, multifunctional hydrogels with vivid color change and shrinking–swelling response to temperature, ion strength, and alternating magnetic field are fabricated via magnetic assembly. The hydrogels show gradual shift colors from yellowish green to green, cyan, blue, purple, and even reddish violet in response to temperature or ion strength. In the response process, the whole color modulation process is fully reversible and transferable along with a relative short response time. Especially, the magnetism and porous structure of the hybrid hydrogel enable it to be a potential carrier for hydrophobic molecules. Taking advantage of the magnetocaloric responsiveness, the dyed oil loaded hydrogel exhibits a controllable release behavior in each reversible shrinking–swelling cycle under an alternating magnetic field. This multi‐responsive hydrogel can hold promise for practical engineering applications, including sensors, displays, and controlled release.

     

Radical boron migration of allylboronic esters

A photocatalyzed 1,3-boron shift of allylboronic esters is reported. The boron atom migration through the allylic carbon skeleton proceeds via consecutive 1,2-boron migrations and Smiles-type rearrangement to furnish a variety of terminally functionalized alkyl boronates. Several types of migrating variations of heteronuclei radicals and dearomatization processes are also tolerated, allowing for further elaboration of highly functionalized boron-containing frameworks.

Highly Transparent,Flexible, and Mechanically Strong Nanopapers of Cellulose Nanofibers @Metal–Organic Frameworks

Freestanding nanopapers were fabricated by the assembly of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) onto cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The CNFs are wrapped by continuously nucleated MOF layers (CNF@MOF) by interfacial synthesis, with the charge density on the surface of the CNFs and the dosage of the surfactant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) being carefully adjusted. The obtained CNF@MOF nanofibers with long-range, continuous, hybrid nanostructures were very different to the composites formed by aggregation of MOF nanoparticles on the substrates. Four typical MOFs (HKUST-1, Al-MIL-53, Zn-MOF-74, ZIF-CO₃-1) were successfully grown onto CNFs in aqueous solutions and further fabricated into freestanding nanopapers. Because of their unique nanostructures and morphologies, the corresponding flexible nanopapers exhibit hierarchical meso-micropores, high optical transparency, high thermal stability, and high mechanical strength. A proof-of-concept study shows that the CNF@MOF nanopapers can be used as efficient filters to separate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air. This work provides a new path for structuring MOF materials that may boost their practical application.
