Thermal stress analysis of a concrete pavement without expansion joints

A 1500-m concrete pavement without expansion joints was paved in China. The temperature and thermal strain were measured simultaneously with precast resistance probes and strain gages in the pavement. An elliptic model was set up to accommodate the observed temperature and strain data, both of which were approximately sinusoidal functions of time and had a common period of 24 hours. After an investigation based on the elliptic model and some basic principles of structural mechanics, the observed data provided a new understanding of thermal stresses in pavement slabs, and suggested three new theorems. By an analysis of the thermal stresses, it was found that FVa, the actual thermal stress, was 2.49 MPa with a small fluctuation. This stress, calculated on the basis of work principle, was the smallest or had the least value of four thermal stresses observed or calculated. This least value status suggests the real cause of the stable behavior of pavement slabs, and offers an explanation of the inconsistency between such behavior and the much higher values of thermal stress calculated by prior conventional methods. Concrete pavement without expansion joints has achieved stable slabs in the past. The analysis and understanding of the least stress, FVa, offers a prospect for improved, more economical pavement design for the resistance of thermal-stress forces.     

A CLASS OF COMPACT UPWIND TVD DIFFERENCE SCHEMES

A new method was proposed for constructing total variation diminishing (TVD) upwind schemes in conservation forms. Two limiters were used to prevent non-physical oscillations across discontinuity. Both limiters can ensure the nonlinear compact schemes TVD property. Two compact TVD (CTVD) schemes were tested, one is third-order accuracy, and the other is fifth-order. The performance of the numerical algorithms was assessed by one-dimensional complex waves and Riemann problems, as well as a two-dimensional shock-vortex interaction and a shock-boundary flow interaction. Numerical results show their high-order accuracy and high resolution, and low oscillations across discontinuities.     

有序态Fe3Al合金在水环境中的磨粒磨损行为

研究了不同载荷下含Ｃｒ的Ｂ２和ＤＯ３有序态Ｆｅ３Ａｌ合金在水中的磨粒磨损行为。采用扫描电镜分析了合金的磨损表面形貌和磨屑形貌。二次离子质谱分析结果表明：在水环境磨损条件下，随着载荷的增加，进入Ｆｅ３Ａｌ合金表层的氢浓度升高，合金表层的氢损伤加剧。在高载荷下由机械磨损所引起的材料流失仍占主导地位，相同载荷下Ｂ２有序态Ｆｅ３Ａｌ合金的磨损质量损失比ＤＯ３有序态Ｆｅ３Ａｌ合金低。

Graphene-wrapped Ni2P materials: a 3D porous architecture with improved electrochemical performance

Ni₂P/graphene hybrid with a 3D architecture has been successfully accomplished through a series of controlled chemical processes. In contrast to random mixture of Ni₂P nanoparticles and graphene nanosheets, the architecture hybrid exhibits superior electrochemical stability because the Ni₂P nanoparticles are firmly riveted on the graphene sheets. The 3D graphene network enhances the electrical conductivity over the 2D nanostructure. As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the graphene-wrapped Ni₂P nanoparticles can deliver a reversible capacity of ~400 mAh g^?1 after 30 cycles with nearly no fading and also exhibit a good rate performance. The graphene network can serve as a conducting network for fast electron transfer from all directions between the active materials and charge collector, and better buffer spaces to accommodate the volume expansion/contraction during discharge/charge process, which can be considered to contribute to the remarkable cyclic stability, thereby pointing to a new synthetic route to hybridizing graphene with active materials for advanced lithium ion batteries.

Asymmetric [3+2]-Cycloaddition of Morita–Baylis–Hillman Carbonates with Maleimides Catalyzed by Chiral Ferrocenylphosphines

New chiral ferrocenylphosphines LB1–LB9 were designed and prepared through simple synthetic approaches. These air-stable ferrocenylphosphines were applied to promote asymmetric [3+2]-cycloaddition of Morita–Baylis–Hillman carbonates with maleimides, among which LB7 was shown to have good catalytic activity to afford the corresponding multifunctional cyclopentenes in up to 59% yield and up to 53% ee under mild reaction conditions. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.     

The Sensitized Solid‐Phase Electrochemiluminescence of Electrodeposited Poly‐Luminol/Aniline on AuAg/TiO2 Nanohybrid Functionalized Electrode for Flow Injection Analysis

In this study, a copolymer of luminol with aniline is electrochemically deposited onto the AuAg/TiO₂ nanohybrid functionalized indium tin oxide coated glass. It is used as a reagentless electrochemiluminescent (ECL) electrode for flow‐injection‐analysis (FIA). The properties of this solid phase ECL electrode are characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy etc. It has stronger ECL emission, sensitive response for target analytes and excellent stability. The so‐prepared ECL electrode shows sensitive response to reactive oxygen species thereafter to be applied for determination of hydrogen peroxide with FIA mode. Under optimized conditions, a mass detection limit of 0.822 pg of hydrogen peroxide was obtained. Thus the hydrogen peroxide residues in samples were detected with satisfactory result.     

Catalytic Asymmetric Formal [3+3] Cycloaddition of an Azomethine Ylide with 3‐Indolylmethanol: Enantioselective Construction of a Six‐Membered Piperidine Framework

A catalytic asymmetric formal [3+3] cycloaddition of 3‐indolylmethanol and an in situ‐generated azomethine ylide has been established to construct a chiral six‐membered piperidine framework with two stereogenic centers. This approach not only represents the first enantioselective cycloaddition of isatin‐derived 3‐indolylmethanol, but also has realized an unusual enantioselective formal [3+3] cycloaddition of azomethine ylide rather than its common [3+2] cycloadditions. Besides, this protocol combines the merits of a multicomponent reaction and organocatalysis, which efficiently assembles a variety of isatin‐derived 3‐indolylmethanols, aldehydes, and amino esters into structurally diverse spiro[indoline‐3,4′‐pyridoindoles] with one all‐carbon quaternary stereogenic center in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 93 % yield, >99 % enantiomeric excess (ee)). Although the diastereoselectivity of the reaction is generally moderate, most of the diastereomers can be separated by using column chromatography followed by preparative TLC.     

三层同轴电喷-去模板法制备核壳纳米颗粒用于蛋白质药物输送

分别以聚乙二醇(PEG)、聚(丙交酯-乙交酯)(PLGA)和牛血清白蛋白(BSA)为冠、壳和核层材料,采用三层同轴电喷技术制备得到微米颗粒.激光共聚焦显微镜(LSCM)显示,该方法制备得到的微米颗粒呈现核-壳-冠结构.通过脱去该微米颗粒的PEG冠层(模板),得到包载有BSA的纳米颗粒.研究发现,随着壳层PLGA溶液进样速度的减慢,去模板后纳米颗粒的粒径从约146 nm减小到68 nm.BSA在纳米颗粒中的包埋率可高达78.3%,并且其释放没有显著的药物暴释现象.圆二色谱结果表明,同轴电喷过程对BSA二级结构影响很小.因此,利用三层同轴电喷-去模板法可制备得到粒径可调控的蛋白质纳米载体系统,并且该过程中蛋白质的结构基本维持不变.     

Anti-idiotypic nanobody-alkaline phosphatase fusion proteins: Development of a one-step competitive enzyme immunoassay for fumonisin B1 detection in cereal

A rapid and sensitive one-step competitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of FB₁ was developed. The anti-idiotypic nanobody–alkaline phosphatase (Ab2β−Nb−AP) was validated by the AP enzyme activity and the properties of bounding to anti-FB1-mAb (3F11) through colorimetric and chemiluminescence analyses. The 50% inhibitory concentration and the detection limit (LOD) of colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for FB₁ were 2.69 and 0.35 ng mL⁻¹, respectively, with a linear range of 0.93–7.73 ng mL⁻¹. The LOD of the chemiluminescence ELISA (CLIA) was 0.12 ng mL⁻¹, and the IC₅₀ was 0.89 ± 0.09 ng mL⁻¹ with a linear range of 0.29–2.68 ng mL⁻¹. Compared with LC-MS/MS, the results of this assay indicated the reliability of the Ab2β−Nb−AP fusion protein based one-step competitive immunoassay for monitoring FB₁ contamination in cereals. The Ab2β−Nb−AP fusion proteins have the potential to replace chemically-coupled probes in competitive enzyme immunoassay systems.
