Automated eigensystem realisation algorithm for operational modal analysis

The eigensystem realisation algorithm (ERA) is one of the most popular methods in civil engineering applications for estimating modal parameters. Three issues have been addressed in the paper: spurious mode elimination, estimating the energy relationship between different modes, and automatic analysis of the stabilisation diagram. On spurious mode elimination, a new criterion, modal similarity index (MSI) is proposed to measure the reliability of the modes obtained by ERA. On estimating the energy relationship between different modes, the mode energy level (MEL) was introduced to measure the energy contribution of each mode, which can be used to indicate the dominant mode. On automatic analysis of the stabilisation diagram, an automation of the mode selection process based on a hierarchical clustering algorithm was developed. An experimental example of the parameter estimation for the Chaotianmen bridge model in Chongqing, China, is presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Novel CaCO3/g-C3N4 composites with enhanced charge separation and photocatalytic activity

A novel CaCO₃/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalyst was synthesized for the first time via a facile calcination method using CaCO₃ and melamine as precursors. The as-prepared samples were characterized using various techniques, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, as well as Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron, photoluminescence, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results of the experiments confirm the successful coupling of CaCO₃ to g-C₃N₄. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ composites was evaluated by assessing their performance in the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet (CV) in water under visible light irradiation. The analysis shows that CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ exhibits higher photocatalytic activity towards CV degradation (76.0%) than pristine g-C₃N₄ (21.6%) and CaCO₃ (23.2%). Radical trapping and electron spin resonance experiments show that hydroxyl radicals (OH) and holes (h⁺) are the key reactive species in the photocatalytic process. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite is mainly attributed to the efficient separation rate of electron-hole pairs achieved through the incorporation of CaCO₃.     

Effect of sound wave stress on antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation of Dendrobium candidum

The effect of sound wave stress on important medicinal plant, Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex Lindl, was investigated, including the responses on malondialdehyde (MDA) content, the activities change of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Results were found that the activities of SOD, CAT, POD and APX enhanced totally in different organs of D. candidum, as leaves, stems and roots, in response to the stress. Furthermore there happened similar shift of antioxidant enzymes activities, which increased in the initial stimulation and decreased afterwards. Data showed SOD, CAT, POD and APX activities ascended to max at day 9, 6, 9 and 12 in leaves, at day 9, 6, 12 and 9 in stems, and at day 12, 6, 9 and 9 in roots, respectively. As a lipid peroxidation parameter, MDA content in different organs increased in the beginning, dropped afterward, and increased again in the late. Anyway the total trend was the rise of MDA level compared to the control. It was interesting that the MDA content appeared the lowest levels almost when the antioxidant enzymes activities were up to the highest. Our results demonstrated the different organs of D. candidum might produce accumulation of active oxygen species (AOS) under initial treatment of sound wave stress. Later AOS might start to reduce due to the enhancement of antioxidant enzymes activities treated by the stress. The data revealed that the antioxidant metabolism was to be important in determining the ability of plants to survive in sound stress, and the up regulation of these enzymes activities would help to reduce the build up of AOS, which could protect plant cells from oxidative damage. Moreover, different cell compartments might activate different defensive system to reduce excessive amount of AOS. Finally the mechanism of this action was also discussed simply.     

Inhibition of the toxic byproduct during photocatalytic NO oxidation via La doping in ZnO

It is of a great challenge to develop semiconductor photocatalysts with potential possibilities to simultaneously enhance photocatalytic efficiency and inhibit generation of toxic intermediates.In this study,we developed a facile method to induce the La doping and cationic vacancie(V(Zn))on ZnO for the highly efficient complete NO oxidation.The photocatalytic NO removal efficiency increases from 36.2%to 53,6%.Most importantly,a significant suppressed NO2 production also has been realized.According to the DFT calculations,ESR spectra and in situ FTIR spectra,the introduction of La^3+induce the redistribution of charge carriers in La-ZnO,which promote the production of·O2^- and lead to the formation of V(Zn)for the formation of·OH,contributing to the complete oxidation of NO to nitrate.Besides,the conversion pathway of photocatalytic NO oxidation has been elaborated,This work paves a new way to simultaneously realize the photocatalytic pollutants removal and the inhibition of toxic intermediates generation for efficient and safe air purification.     

金属钯纳米颗粒/氮化钛复合材料对水中2,4-二氯苯酚的电催化氢化脱氯（英文）

随着社会经济的快速发展,含氯有机物,特别是含氯苯系物,在农业、化工和医药等领域的使用量逐年增多,而使用过程中不合理的排放和控制致使含氯苯系物对生态环境,特别是水体环境的污染日趋严重.含氯苯系物具有高致毒致癌性,易生物富集,且很难被完全降解矿化,已被国家环保局认定为优先控制污染物.常规的废水处理工艺,如吸附、氧化及生物降解等,效率不高,且具有二次污染风险.电催化氢化脱氯技术是一种新型特别针对废水中含氯有机污染物的处理工艺,是通过在阴极电解还原水,原位生成原子态氢,以进攻苯环上C.Cl键,通过C.Cl键断裂H原子取代,使含氯苯系物完全转化为苯系物,达到去毒去害化的目的,近年来越来越受到研究者的关注.在整个电催化氢化脱氯技术中,高效稳定的电催化剂合成是关键,决定着脱氯效率、脱氯动力学、产物选择性及能量的利用率.本文报道了一种简易、无需添加任何表面活性剂的湿式还原法制备金属钯/氮化钛(Pd/TiN)和金属钯/碳(Pd/C)复合材料.在该复合材料中,金属钯颗粒具有均一的纳米尺寸(约5.0 nm)和球状形貌,且均匀分布在TiN和C载体上.作为针对水体中代表性含氯苯系物2,4-二氯苯酚的电催化氢化脱氯反应催化剂,Pd/TiN所展现的活性和稳定性均优于TiN和Pd/C,这源于TiN载体的促进作用.当TiN与Pd复合时,相应形成的Pd-TiN界面可改变Pd表面的电子结构,进一步优化Pd产活性氢及其吸附活化2,4-二氯苯酚的性能,因而其催化氢化脱氯活性增加.阴极工作电压是该催化反应中一个重要操作参数,决定了电催化氢化脱氯的效率和最终产物的构成.实验表明,.0.80 V vs Ag/AgCl是最佳操作电压,此时2,4-二氯苯酚的电催化氢化脱氯效率最高,可达到93.27%,且可实现最大程度的2,4-二氯苯酚向苯酚转化.脱氯反应路径研究发现,在Pd/TiN催化剂上2,4-二氯苯酚脱氯反应路径为2,4-二氯苯酚→对位一氯苯酚,邻位一氯苯酚→苯酚,但Pd/TiN对邻位和对位的C.Cl键断裂基本没有选择性.本文提供了一种新的有效调控Pd材料电催化氢化脱氯性能的方法,可望用于其他氢化反应体系的高效催化剂的设计合成,同时可推动电催化氢化脱氯技术在环境污染修复中的应用.
