Corrosion fatigue performance of modified 17-4PH in simulated geothermal environment
Corrosion fatigue behavior of a new candidate material for geothermal turbine blade, modified 17-4PH, was investigated in detail. The environmental acceleration of crack growth rate was discussed in terms of āK. Fracture surface and side surface were observed by SEM. The crack path on side surface was also analyzed by EBSD. Then, the corrosion mechanism was discussed. Striation width on the fracture surface was compared to the crack growth per cycle. Since pitting occurred during the corrosion fatigue test, anodic polarization test was exercised to measure the pitting potential, and the cause for the pitting was also discussed. The hardness was also characterized by micro-hardness test and auger electron mapping

Instrumental activities of daily living trajectories and risk of mild cognitive impairment among Chinese older adults: results of the Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey, 2002ā2018
BackgroundThe association between the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) score and the risk of initial cognitive function impairment is inconclusive. We aimed to identify distinctive IADL trajectories and examine their relationship with the onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among Chinese older people.MethodsThe study used six-wave longitudinal data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey conducted between 2002 and 2018. It included a total of 11,044 Chinese people aged 65āyears or older. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify distinctive trajectories of the IADL score, and the Cox proportional hazards model was used to explore the hazard ratio of various trajectories at the onset of MCI. Interaction analysis was used to analyze individual modification between the IADL trajectories and the onset of MCI. Finally, we adopted four types of sensitivity analysis to verify the robustness of the results.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 16āyears, the incidence of MCI was 6.29 cases per 1,000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.92ā6.68). Three distinct IADL trajectory groups were identified: a low-risk IADL group (41.4%), an IADL group with increasing risk (28.5%), and a high-risk IADL group (30.4%). Using the Cox proportional hazards model after adjusting for covariates, we found that compared with the low risk IADL group, the hazard ratio of the IADL group with increasing risk was 4.49 (95% CIā=ā3.82ā5.28), whereas that of the high-risk IADL group was 2.52 (95% CI 2.08ā3.05). Treating the IADL group with increasing risk as the reference, the hazard ratio for the high-risk IADL group was 0.56 (95% CI 0.48ā0.66). Interaction analyses showed that age and residence were significant moderators (P for interaction <0.05).ConclusionA group-based trajectory model was developed to classify older people into three distinct trajectory groups of the IADL score. The IADL group with increasing risk had a greater risk of MCI than the high-risk IADL group. In the IADL group with increasing risk, city residents of ā„80āyears were the most likely to develop MCI
Free sulfurous acid (FSA) inhibition of biological thiosulfate reduction (BTR) in the sulfur cycle-driven wastewater treatment process
A sulfur cycle-based bioprocess for co-treatment of wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) wastes with freshwater sewage has been developed. In this process the removal of organic carbon is mainly associated with biological sulfate or sulfite reduction. Thiosulfate is a major intermediate during biological sulfate/sulfite reduction, and its reduction to sulfide is the rate-limiting step. In this study, the impacts of saline sulfite (the ionized form: HSO + SO ) and free sulfurous acid (FSA, the unionized form: HSO) sourced from WGFD wastes on the biological thiosulfate reduction (BTR) activities were thoroughly investigated. The BTR activity and sulfate/sulfite-reducing bacteria (SRB) populations in the thiosulfate-reducing up-flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor decreased when the FSA was added to the UASB influent. Batch experiment results confirmed that FSA, instead of saline sulfite, was the true inhibitor of BTR. And BTR activities dropped by 50% as the FSA concentrations were increased from 8.0 Ć 10to 2.0 Ć 10mg HSO-S/L. From an engineering perspective, the findings of this study provide some hints on how to ensure effective thiosulfate accumulation in biological sulfate/sulfite reduction for the subsequent denitrification/denitritation. Such manipulation would result in higher nitrogen removal rates in this co-treatment process of WFGD wastes with municipal sewage
Association between modes of delivery and postpartum dietary patterns: A cross-sectional study in Northwest China
Objective: Puerperaeā dietary patterns (DPs) during the puerperium may be influenced by the mode of delivery, but population studies on this topic are scarce. This study aims to explore the relationship between DPs and different modes of delivery among puerperae. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 3,345 parturients in Lanzhou, China. The postpartum food intake was measured by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Factor analysis was used to determine the DPs. Multiple linear regression was employed to examine the association between the mode of delivery and DP. Results: In this study, two DPs, i.e., traditional and modern DPs, were identified. Traditional DP was characterized by high energy-adjusted intake of tubers, coarse cereals, rice, whole grains, fishery products, and eggs. Modern DP included a high intake of coffee, non-sugary drinks, wine, tea, and fishery products. Compared with participants with vaginal delivery (reference category), cesarean section had an inverse association with modern DP (Ī²: ā0.11, 95% CI: ā0.36, ā0.09). A significant interaction was found between education level, monthly household income, alcohol drinking, and modes of delivery. The inverse association between cesarean section and modern DP or the intake of coffee was significant among puerperae with higher or lower monthly household income. However, the inverse association between cesarean section and traditional DP was only found among puerperae with higher monthly household income. Moreover, among the participants with high education, cesarean section was positively associated with intake of vegetables. Conclusion: Cesarean puerperae with higher levels of education and those with lower and higher monthly household income had less unhealthy foods intake than those who had vaginal delivery. They need to be accounted for in educational programs and interventions focused on healthy diet recommendations in puerperium.This project was funded by the Chongqing Social Science Planning Project (2017YBSH057) and joint project of the Ministry of Technology and Ministry of Health (2021MSXM215) and Discipline Cultivation Fund of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

A Semantic-Spatial Aware Data Conflation Approach for Place Knowledge Graphs
Recent advances in knowledge graphs show great promise to link various data together to provide a semantic network. Place is an important part in the big picture of the knowledge graph since it serves as a powerful glue to link any data to its georeference. A key technical challenge in constructing knowledge graphs with location nodes as geographical references is the matching of place entities. Traditional methods typically rely on rule-based matching or machine-learning techniques to determine if two place names refer to the same location. However, these approaches are often limited in the feature selection of places for matching criteria, resulting in imbalanced consideration of spatial and semantic features. Deep feature-based methods such as deep learning methods show great promise for improved place data conflation. This paper introduces a Semantic-Spatial Aware Representation Learning Model (SSARLM) for Place Matching. SSARLM liberates the tedious manual feature extraction step inherent in traditional methods, enabling an end-to-end place entity matching pipeline. Furthermore, we introduce an embedding fusion module designed for the unified encoding of semantic and spatial information. In the experiment, we evaluate the approach to named places from Guangzhou and Shanghai cities in GeoNames, OpenStreetMap (OSM), and Baidu Map. The SSARLM is compared with several classical and commonly used binary classification machine learning models, and the state-of-the-art large language model, GPT-4. The results demonstrate the benefit of pre-trained models in data conflation of named places
Sofware-Defined Space-Ground-Vehicle Integrated Network Architecture for Unconscious Payment
The continuous development trend of expressways urgently needs expressway sensing, which is required to be able to perceive unknown risk factors to ensure a safe and stable transportation environment as well as effectively and continuously monitor the safe operation of expressways. Using unconscious payment can greatly improve traffic efficiency and meet the development direction of intelligent transportation. However, charging errors occur when using unconscious payment, primarily because the expressway network fails to realize national networking. Most of the literature focuses on two aspects of sensing, transmission and computing, while research on the overall network architecture is lacking. A ground network cannot solve the network coverage problem in remote areas. Therefore, the basic infrastructure needed to realize expressway sensing includes both aerial and ground nodes, such as cars, roadside equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, airships, and satellites. This network communication architecture requires effective management of infrastructure and support of various applications. The software-defined network has strong flexibility; thus, in this paper, we propose a software-defined space-ground-vehicle integrated network (SD-SGVIN) architecture that includes three layers: physical facility, logic control, and application. The SD-SGVIN can separate the highway sensing applications from the physical entity. All kinds of applications can acquire, transmit, and process vehicle data through a shared physical infrastructure. We discuss the design, implementation, and advantages of the proposed network structure, hoping to provide a new direction for the research and promotion of expressway sensing and unconscious payment
Peak-easing strategies for urban subway operations in the context of COVID-19 epidemic
Subways play an important role in public transportation to and from work. In the traditional working system, the commuting time is often arranged at fixed time nodes, which directly leads to the gathering of āmorning peakā and āevening peakā in the subway. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, this congestion is exacerbating the spread of the novel coronavirus. Several countries have resorted to the strategy of stopping production to curb the risk of the spread of the epidemic seriously affecting citizens\u27 living needs and hindering economic operation. Therefore, orderly resumption of work and production without increasing the risk of the spread of the epidemic has become an urgent problem to be solved. To this end, we propose a mixed integer programming model that takes into account both the number of travelers and the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control. Under the condition that the working hours remain the same, it can adjust the working days and commuting time flexibly to realize orderly off-peak travel of the workers who return to work. Through independent design of travel time and reasonable control of the number of passengers, the model relaxes the limitation of the number of subway commuters and reduces the probability of cross-travel between different companies. We also take the data of Beijing subway operation and apply it to the solution of our model as an example. The example analysis results show that our model can realize the optimal travel scheme design of returning to work at the same time node and avoiding the risk of cross infection among enterprises under different epidemic prevention and control levels
Fabrication and characterization of a fluorescent sensor based on Rh 6G-functionlized silica nanoparticles for nitrite ion detection
In this paper, a rhodamine derivative of p-hydroxybenzaldlehyde rhodamine 6G hydrozone (denoted as Rh 6G-OH) is covalently grafted onto the surface of silica nanoparticles, giving a novel fluorescent chemosensing hybrid material (denoted as Rh 6G-SiO 2) for the detection of nitrite ion. The FT-IR spectra confirm that Rh 6G-OH has been successfully grafted onto the surface of SiO 2 nanoparticles, which effectively prevents the sensing probe leakage out of SiO 2 supporting matrix. Rh 6G-SiO 2 sensor shows a good linearity between the fluorescence intensity of Rh 6G-SiO 2 and the concentration of nitrite ion with a detection limit down to 1.2 Ī¼M, which results from a dramatic fluorescence reducing by the addition of nitrite ion upon the suspension of Rh 6G-SiO 2. A high selectivity for nitrite ion in the presence of interference ions is demonstrated. The sensing mechanism of Rh 6G-SiO 2 toward nitrite ion is discussed in detail and found to be a static quenching process. Ā© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
