Traumatic superficial temporal artery aneurysm:analysis of 7 cases

目的探讨外伤性颞浅动脉瘤的诊断和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析7例外伤性颞浅动脉的临床表现、手术方法和治疗结果。所有病例均因外伤后额部或颞部进行性增大肿物就诊,无颞浅动脉瘤破裂出血病例,全部病例在局部麻醉下切除动脉瘤囊肿,其中1例为分叉部梭形动脉瘤。结果病理报告均为假性动脉瘤,动脉外膜存在。无术后头皮缺血、坏死发生。结论根据外伤史、颞浅动脉走行上搏动性肿物的特点,颞浅动脉瘤即可明确诊断。动脉壁中膜弹力层断裂,局部因动脉血流搏动冲击膨出形成可能是颞浅动脉瘤形成的另一个机制。动脉瘤切除术是治疗颞浅动脉瘤的有效方法。Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment for traumatic superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm.Methods Clinical manifestations, operation and prognosis of 7 patients with traumatic superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm were analyzed retrospectively.There was the same complaint of progressive swelling mass on the frontal or temporal area post brunt injury, but no complaint of rupture of the aneurysm in all the patients.All the patients underwent resections of the aneurysm capsule under local anesthesia, including one fusiform aneurysm at the bifurcation of the superficial temporal artery in 1 case.Results All the cases were pseudoaneurysm with intact outlayer of the artery.There was no complication of scalp ischemia or necrosis.Conclusion Traumatic superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm can be diagnosed according to the history of head injury and progressive pulsatile swelling or mass on the line of the superficial temporal artery.It may be another mechanism of forming pseudoaneurysm that breakdown of the elastic layer in the tunica media of the arterial wall and beating of arterial blood flow arterial lead to lumen enlargement on the local point.Resection of the aneurysm is an effective way of the treatment

Study on laser lift-off of GaN material in low pressure

为了研究低压环境对激光剥离的影响,利用准分子激光剥离系统和真空腔对gAn/蓝宝石样品分别在低压下和常压下进行多脉冲激光照射,之后用台阶仪测量样品的分解深度,得知相比常压环境,低压下gAn分解深度在脉冲次数为10次、20次、30次时分别增加了为10.2%,19.0%,24.3%,之后结合gAn材料分解过程和脉冲激光照射gAn/蓝宝石结构过程进行理论分析得到相应低压和常压下的gAn材料的理论分解深度,得到与实验一致的趋势。证明了低压环境能提高激光剥离速率。In order to study the effects of low-pressure environment on laser lift-off process,the experiment that a GaN/sapphire sample was irradiated by an excimer laser lift-off system in different pressure was carried out,and then the decomposition depth of the sample was measured with a profilometer.The results show that the decomposition depth of GaN in low pressure is increased by 10.2%,19.0% and 24.3% which corresponds to the number of pulses of 10,20 and 30.One-dimensional heat flow model of GaN/sapphire structure irradiated by laser was established.The temperature field in GaN was calculated and analyzed.The decomposition depth of GaN in different pressure was obtained.The theoretical calculation result is consistent with the experimental result.It indicates that the efficiency of laser lift-off in low pressure environment is higher than that in ordinary pressureenvironment.国家自然科学基金(11104230

INFLUENCE OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ORIENTATIONS ON FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF WHEEL/RAIL SPECIMEN IN OIL LUBRICATION

黏着力是列车安全与平稳运行的关键因素之一.最大黏着力与摩擦力有关,摩擦力的减小会导致黏着力的降低.表面粗糙度及其取向是影响摩擦系数的重要因素,然而,有关表面粗糙度取向对于混合润滑状态下摩擦系数的影响的研究结论似乎是矛盾的.用激光离散改性技术将车轮试样表面制备成具有菱形、纵纹、横纹3种典型的形貌,并且与不作激光离散改性处理的车轮试样作对比,用基于确定性模型的统一雷诺方程数值分析法和小比例尺度的轮轨试样摩擦学实验,得到的结论是:在油润滑状态下,激光表面形貌大幅提高摩擦系数,其中菱形对应的摩擦系数最大,纵纹与横纹的摩擦系数相差不大,摩擦系数的大小主要取决于由表面粗糙度取向决定的接触区内粗糙峰接触压力与总压力之比,侧流效应也是影响摩擦系数的重要因素,它主要取决于接触区内表面粗糙度的取向

Preparation of PdCoIr Tetrahedron Nanocatalysts and Its Performance toward Ethanol Oxidation Reaction

钯(Pd)基催化剂是直接乙醇燃料电池研究中广泛使用的催化剂,进一步提升其性能是推动燃料电池发展的重要方向。本文用一步水热法制备出四面体结构PdCo(PdCo tetrahedron,记为PdCo-TH)和少量铱(Ir)掺杂的PdCo四面体合金纳米粒子(记为PdCoIr-TH)。经TEM、ICP、XPS及CV等表征证实,PdCoIr-TH为三元合金纳米粒子,且掺杂的Ir元素倾向分布在催化剂表层。相比于商业Pd/C催化剂,PdCo-TH/C和PdCoIr-TH/C对乙醇电氧化的催化性能显著增强。研究结果表明,Pd9Co1Ir0.1-TH/C在低电位(< -0.25 V)下具有最高的乙醇电氧化活性和稳定性。Ir掺杂不仅提高了催化剂抗CO毒化的能力还有利于乙醇起始氧化电位负移。同时,随着Ir含量的增加,所制备的纳米催化剂的乙醇电氧化C1产物选择性也随之升高。针对不同组成催化剂反应性的差异,本文认为Co与Ir位点上容易产生OHad物种,这将有利于活性Pd位点上乙醇电氧化中间反应物种的有效转化。除了以上的各位点间的协同效应,三元合金的形成,进一步调控了Pd的d带电子结构,从而促进了催化剂反应性的改变。As a new energy conversion device, direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) are widely concerned because of their remarkable advantages such as high theoretical energy density and wide fuel sources. However, the rapid development of DEFCs has been severely impeded due to the sluggish kinetic process and toxic intermediates especially in their anodic reactions. Palladium (Pd)-based materials are considered to be excellent anode catalysts for DEFCs, especially under alkaline conditions. And further improving their performance is an important direction to promote the development of DEFCs. Surface structure and composition are the key factors affecting the performance of catalysts which can be improved by reasonable regulation. It is reported that high-index faceted structures and element doping are beneficial to improve the performance of catalyst. In this work, the advantages of these two strategies were used comprehensively to prepare Pd-based catalysts with high efficiency. Palladium cobalt (PdCo) and Ir-doped PdCo tetrahedron alloy nanocatalysts (denoted by PdCo-TH and PdCoIr-TH, respectively) have been successfully prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. The characterization results of TEM, ICP, XPS and CV show that the PdCo-TH binary and PdCoIr-TH ternary alloys were formed, while Ir element was mainly distributed on the PdCoIr-TH surface. Compared with the commercial Pd/C, the PdCo-TH/C and PdCoIr-TH/C exhibited the enhanced catalytic properties toward ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline solutions. Particularly, the Pd9Co1Ir0.1-TH/C catalyst showed the best activity and stability toward EOR, especially at low potentials (< -0.25 V). And Ir sites not only resisted CO poison effectively, but also shifted the initial oxidation potential of ethanol negatively. Meanwhile, the selectivity of C1 products during the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol has been greatly improved with the increase of Ir content. The enhanced reactivities of PdCo-TH/C and PdCoIr-TH/C could be attributed to: (a) The coexistence of Co sites and Ir sites on the surfaces can generate OHad species which can promote the oxidation of intermediate adsorbed species on Pd sites and (b) the negative shift in electron binding energy of Pd due to the addition of Ir may make reaction intermediates desorb more difficultly, which might make the reactivity of PdCoIr-TH/C differ from that of PdCo-TH/C. This research work has demostrated a strategic approach for future development in high efficiency catalysts used for DEFCs.国家自然科学基金项目(21802112);国家自然科学基金项目(21773198)通讯作者:黄蕊,孙世刚E-mail:[email protected];[email protected]:RuiHuang,Shi-GangSunE-mail:[email protected];[email protected]厦门大学化学化工学院,固体表面物理化学国家重点实验室,福建 厦门 361005State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Department of Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, Fujian, Chin

分别基于美国陆地卫星(Landsat MSS/TM/ETM+)和中巴资源卫星(CBERS-02B)影像数据,以人工目视解译为主,完成了中国1978～2008年4期(基准年分别为1978,1990,2000和2008年)湿地遥感制图,并进行了大量的室内外验证.在此基础上,对我国湿地现状及近30年来湿地变化进行了初步分析,得到以下主要结论:(ⅰ)截止2008年,中国湿地面积约为324097km2,其中以内陆沼泽(35%)和湖泊湿地(26%)为主.(ⅱ)1978～2008年,中国湿地面积减少了约33%,而人工湿地增加了约122%.过去30年里湿地减少的速度大幅降低,由最初5523km2/a(1978～1990年)降为831km2/a(2000～2008年).(ⅲ)减少的自然湿地(包括滨海湿地和内陆湿地),其类型变化由湿地向非湿地转化的比例逐渐降低.初期(1978～1990年)几乎全部(98%)转换为非湿地;在1990～2000年间减少的自然湿地约有86%转化为非湿地,而在2000～2008年,这一比例下降为77%.(ⅳ)气候变化和农业活动是中国湿地变化的主要驱动因素,湿地变化在中国分为三大不同特征区域,即西部三省/自治区(西藏、新疆和青海)、北部两省/自治区(黑龙江和内蒙古)和其他省市区.其中西部区域尤其是青藏高原,湿地变化的驱动因子以气候增温为主;新疆湿地由于气候增温和农业活动共同作用造成变化不大.北部省/自治区的湿地变化则主要由农业活动引起;而其他省市区的湿地变化几乎完全受控于人类的农业经济活动

Selective dynamical imaging of interferometric data

Recent developments in very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) have made it possible for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to resolve the innermost accretion flows of the largest supermassive black holes on the sky. The sparse nature of the EHT’s (u, v)-coverage presents a challenge when attempting to resolve highly time-variable sources. We demonstrate that the changing (u, v)-coverage of the EHT can contain regions of time over the course of a single observation that facilitate dynamical imaging. These optimal time regions typically have projected baseline distributions that are approximately angularly isotropic and radially homogeneous. We derive a metric of coverage quality based on baseline isotropy and density that is capable of ranking array configurations by their ability to produce accurate dynamical reconstructions. We compare this metric to existing metrics in the literature and investigate their utility by performing dynamical reconstructions on synthetic data from simulated EHT observations of sources with simple orbital variability. We then use these results to make recommendations for imaging the 2017 EHT Sgr A* data sethttp://iopscience.iop.org/2041-8205Physic

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VIII. Physical Interpretation of the Polarized Ring

In a companion paper, we present the first spatially resolved polarized image of Sagittarius A* on event horizon scales, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, a global very long baseline interferometric array operating at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. Here we interpret this image using both simple analytic models and numerical general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. The large spatially resolved linear polarization fraction (24%–28%, peaking at ∼40%) is the most stringent constraint on parameter space, disfavoring models that are too Faraday depolarized. Similar to our studies of M87*, polarimetric constraints reinforce a preference for GRMHD models with dynamically important magnetic fields. Although the spiral morphology of the polarization pattern is known to constrain the spin and inclination angle, the time-variable rotation measure (RM) of Sgr A* (equivalent to ≈46° ± 12° rotation at 228 GHz) limits its present utility as a constraint. If we attribute the RM to internal Faraday rotation, then the motion of accreting material is inferred to be counterclockwise, contrary to inferences based on historical polarized flares, and no model satisfies all polarimetric and total intensity constraints. On the other hand, if we attribute the mean RM to an external Faraday screen, then the motion of accreting material is inferred to be clockwise, and one model passes all applied total intensity and polarimetric constraints: a model with strong magnetic fields, a spin parameter of 0.94, and an inclination of 150°. We discuss how future 345 GHz and dynamical imaging will mitigate our present uncertainties and provide additional constraints on the black hole and its accretion flow

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope results. II. EHT and multiwavelength observations, data processing, and calibration

We present Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) 1.3 mm measurements of the radio source located at the position of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), collected during the 2017 April 5–11 campaign. The observations were carried out with eight facilities at six locations across the globe. Novel calibration methods are employed to account for Sgr A*'s flux variability. The majority of the 1.3 mm emission arises from horizon scales, where intrinsic structural source variability is detected on timescales of minutes to hours. The effects of interstellar scattering on the image and its variability are found to be subdominant to intrinsic source structure. The calibrated visibility amplitudes, particularly the locations of the visibility minima, are broadly consistent with a blurred ring with a diameter of ∼50 μas, as determined in later works in this series. Contemporaneous multiwavelength monitoring of Sgr A* was performed at 22, 43, and 86 GHz and at near-infrared and X-ray wavelengths. Several X-ray flares from Sgr A* are detected by Chandra, one at low significance jointly with Swift on 2017 April 7 and the other at higher significance jointly with NuSTAR on 2017 April 11. The brighter April 11 flare is not observed simultaneously by the EHT but is followed by a significant increase in millimeter flux variability immediately after the X-ray outburst, indicating a likely connection in the emission physics near the event horizon. We compare Sgr A*'s broadband flux during the EHT campaign to its historical spectral energy distribution and find that both the quiescent emission and flare emission are consistent with its long-term behavior.http://iopscience.iop.org/2041-8205Physic
