考虑多种损坏构成特征的沥青路面预防性养护决策方法

由于沥青路面损坏构成的多样性, 相同的路面状况指数(pavement condition index, PCI)可能代表不同的损坏组合. 当多种损坏并存且损坏程度接近时, 用PCI和主导损坏(最严重、扣分最多的路面损坏)难以得到具有针对性的养护对策. 因此, 通过对PCI的深入分析, 明确了主导损坏代表性不足的路段, 以现行预防性养护决策方法为基础, 补充了一种考虑损坏构成特征、更具针对性的决策方法. 以上海城市道路近5年的检测、养护数据为分析基础, 首先利用有序聚类算法将路段按PCI水平分组, 分析了不同阶段路面损坏构成和差异水平; 然后, 针对多种损坏并存且损坏差异不显著的路段, 根据预防性养护的实施效果筛选了能够反映正确预防性养护经验的有效养护路段; 最后, 基于有效养护路段建立并对比分析了2个基于BP(back propagation)神经网络的养护决策模型. 结果表明: 当PCI水平介于优良(84.4~93.0分)时, 不同损坏程度接近, 主导损坏代表性不足; 考虑多种损坏构成特征的BP神经网络模型表现出更高的决策精度, 测试集决策正确率达86.20%, 优于仅考虑主导损坏的模型(58.50%). BP神经网络与传统决策树法结合能够优化沥青路面决策过程, 提高养护对策选取的针对性.     

Visible light-driven acridone catalysis for atom transfer radical polymerization

Acridone as a new kind of visible light photocatalyst has been developed to catalyze metal free atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The photocatalyst possess low excited state potential as can undergo an oxidative quenching pathway to initiate ATRP of vinyl monomers. Kinetic study and light on/off reaction demonstrate the “living”/controlled nature of the polymerization by light. Block copolymers can be achieved by using PMMA as macroinitiator to reinitiate polymerization of other vinyl monomers, which shows highly preserved Br chain-end functionality in the synthesized polymers. Moreover, the polymerization can be conducted under air atmosphere as most photocatalysts need anaerobic condition, which may give inspiration of further application of this kind of photocatalyst.

Enhanced Power Density of Alcohol Biofuel Cell by Polymer-assisted Crosslinks of 3D Graphene on Carbon Paper as the Bioanode

Herein, we successfully construct the 3D biocompatible graphene through crosslinking 2D graphene nanosheet onto carbon fiber paper with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) as anode of the alcohol biofuel cell. Compared with the bioanode without 3D graphene, the current density and output power of PDDA-graphene-ADH bioanode is increased by 23 % and 41 % at a high concentration of ethanol at pH 8.9, suggesting the stabilization role of graphene in enzyme loading. The study provides us a deep analysis on structures and performances of the bioanode incl. electrochemistry, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and atomic force microscopy images, which is significant to develop the new methods to construct 3D porous electrodes in energy conversion device.

Hitherto-Unexplored Photodynamic Therapy of Ag2S and Enhanced Regulation Based on Polydopamine In Vitro and Vivo

Given their superior penetration depths, photosensitizers with longer absorption wavelengths present broader application prospects in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Herein, Ag₂S quantum dots were discovered, for the first time, to be capable of killing tumor cells through the photodynamic route by near-infrared light irradiation, which means relatively less excitation of the probe compared with traditional photosensitizers absorbing short wavelengths. On modification with polydopamine (PDA), PDA-Ag₂S was obtained, which showed outstanding capacity for inducing reactive oxygen species (increased by 1.69 times). With the addition of PDA, Ag₂S had more opportunities to react with surrounding O₂, which was demonstrated by typical triplet electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis. Furthermore, the PDT effects of Ag₂S and PDA-Ag₂S achieved at longer wavelengths were almost identical to the effects produced at 660 nm, which was proved by studies in vitro. PDA-Ag₂S showed distinctly better therapeutic effects than Ag₂S in experiments in vivo, which further validated the enhanced regulatory effect of PDA. Altogether, a new photosensitizer with longer absorption wavelength was developed by using the hitherto-unexplored photodynamic function of Ag₂S quantum dots, which extended and enhanced the regulatory effect originating from PDA.
