<i>Claroideoglomus etunicatum</i> improved the growth and saline– alkaline tolerance of <i>Potentilla anserina</i> by altering physiological and biochemical properties

To investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on the growth and saline–alkaline tolerance of Potentilla anserina L., the seedlings were inoculated with Claroideoglomus etunicatum (W.N. Becker & Gerd.) C. Walker & A. Schüßler in pot cultivation. After 90 days of culture, saline–alkaline stress was induced with NaCl and NaHCO₃ solution according to the main salt components in saline–alkaline soils. Based on the physiological response of P. anserina to the stress in the preliminary experiment, the solution concentrations of 0 mmol/L, 75 mmol/L, 150 mmol/L, 225 mmol/L and 300 mmol/L were treated with stress for 10 days, respectively. The mycorrhizal colonization rate, mycorrhizal dependence, chlorophyll content, malondialdehyde content, antioxidant enzyme activities, osmoregulation substances content and water status were measured. The results showed that with the increase of NaCl and NaHCO₃ stress concentration, mycorrhizal colonization rate, colonization intensity, arbuscular abundance and vesicle abundance decreased, and reached the lowest value at 300 mmol/L. Strong mycorrhizal dependence was observed after the symbiosis with AM fungus, and the dependence was higher under NaHCO₃ treatment. Under NaCl and NaHCO₃ stress, inoculation with AM fungus could increase chlorophyll content, decrease malondialdehyde content, increase activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, increase contents of proline, soluble sugar and soluble protein, increase tissue relative water content and decrease water saturation deficit. It was concluded that salt–alkali stress inhibited the colonization of AM fungus, but the mycorrhiza still played a positive role in maintaining the normal growth of plants under salt–alkali stress.     

热轧层流辊道内冷辊回水结构的优化改进

针对某热轧厂1 580 mm生产线精轧出口层流辊道内冷辊频繁发生操作侧轴承失效问题,对其原因进行了分析,同时核算了内冷辊受热轴向膨胀后操作侧轴承侧向间隙。结果表明:操作侧轴承侧向间隙满足使用要求,轴承失效和辊筒受热膨胀无关;操作侧轴承失效的直接原因是轴套制造精度低导致骨架油封失效、内冷辊高速旋转“吸水”效应,使冷却回水进入轴承座内部,进一步造成润滑不良进而造成轴承失效。为此,对内冷辊回水结构进行了优化改进:在操作侧轴承座端盖和水套之间增加法兰,延长轴套及安装轴套的轴头,在轴头和轴套之间增加O型密封圈。改进后两年的使用周期内没有发生过轴承失效故障。     

链条套筒与销轴铰链副冲击载荷-往复运动的弹流润滑数值模拟

数值模拟链传动中销轴与套筒之间的定载荷和变载荷弹流润滑接触问题,套筒相对于销轴做纯滑动往复运动。定载荷是假定往复运动过程中载荷恒定不变;变载荷是假定链节在啮入和啮出链轮过程中存在的冲击载荷按正弦函数规律变化。比较在定载荷和变载荷加载条件下线接触往复运动工况的弹性润滑油膜变化情况,分析在动载荷加载条件下不同行程长度对弹性流体动力润滑特性的影响。研究发现,动载荷对油膜的压力、膜厚影响较大:随着动载荷的增加,油膜中压力急剧增大,膜厚减小;但加载方式对摩擦因数的影响不大;在相同的加载方式下,随着行程长度的增加,油膜压力减小,中心膜厚和最小膜厚显著增加。

Numerical simulation of pharyngeal bolus flow influenced by bolus viscosity and apparent slip

Pharyngeal bolus flow was simulated numerically using a finite element method. The bolus liquids were X-ray medium, glucose, and thickener solutions. For a low-viscosity bolus, the simulation showed a reasonable agreement of bolus velocity with X-ray measurements. The influence of bolus density on swallowing velocity was investigated numerically. Although a higher density resulted in a higher bolus velocity, the increase in velocity was modest. When the bolus viscosity was high, it was necessary to apply the slip boundary condition to obtain an agreement for bolus velocity between the simulation and X-ray measurements. The simulations also showed that the method of characteristic shear rate proposed by Zhu et al., Journal of Texture Studies, 2014, 45, 430–439 is effective for predicting the bolus velocity for shear-thinning fluids. In order to discuss the effect of saliva lubrication and the physical meaning of the characteristic shear rate, an immiscible two-layer flow of the core and wall layer was analyzed theoretically by analogy with mesopharyngeal bolus flow. The characteristic shear rate enabled us to correlate the macroscopic flow behavior and the viscosity of the core layer fluid. Lubrication due to the wall layer caused the apparent slip and enhanced the transfer of viscous core fluid. For viscous fluid that presented a large apparent slip in the two-layer model, the slip boundary condition was needed in the swallowing simulation. The numerical simulation and model flow analysis revealed the usefulness of characteristic shear rate and the importance of saliva-layer lubrication in swallowing.

Enhancing the Tribological Behavior of Lubricating Oil by Adding TiO2, Graphene,and TiO2/Graphene Nanoparticles

This article investigates the tribological behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) of titanium dioxide anatase TiO₂ (A), graphene, and TiO₂ (A) + graphene added to the pure base oil group ΙΙ (PBO-GΙΙ). The morphology of these two nanostructures of TiO₂ (A) and graphene was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oleic acid (OA) was blended as a surfactant into the formulation to help stabilize the NPs in the lubricant oil. A four-ball test rig was used to determine the tribological performance of six different samples, and an image acquisition system was used to examine and measure the wear scar diameter of the stationary balls. Field emission–scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to examine the wear morphology. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), element mapping, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the presence of (TiO₂ (A) + graphene) and the formation of a tribolayer/film on the mating surfaces. Moreover, a 3D optical surface texture analyzer was utilized to investigate the scar topography and tribological performance. The experiments proved that adding (0.4?wt% TiO₂ (A) + 0.2?wt% graphene) to the PBO-GΙΙ optimized its tribological behavior. These excellent results can be attributed to the dual additive effect and the formation of a tribofilm of NPs during sliding motion. Furthermore, the average reductions in the coefficient of friction (COF), wear scar diameter (WSD), and specific wear rate (SWR) were 38.83, 36.78, and 15.78%, respectively, for (0.4?wt% TiO₂ (A) + 0.2?wt% graphene) nanolubricant compared to plain PBO-GΙΙ lubricant.     

Application of organosilane coatings for improved anti-adhesive properties enabling facilitated demolding in polymer processing

Easy and residue-free demolding is an everlasting topic in the plastics processing industry. Typically, facile ejection of the produced parts from the mold is provided by separation agents (silicon sprays, surface coatings). In this work, a perfluoroalkyl-based organosilane coating is applied to exchangeable substrates of an injection mold. Besides the simple application, the coating can also be restored easily in a procedure based on flame treatment. Coating and recoating are proven by contact angle measurements with water, while the anti-adhesive effect and the related relief during demolding are evaluated using a special measuring device in an instrumented two-plate injection mold. The results reveal that the organosilane layer reduces the demolding forces and the resulting static friction coefficient by 50%. Furthermore, multiple recoating significantly improves the durability of the anti-adhesive coating. Based on these findings, the easily applicable and renewable organosilane coating represents a suitable alternative to conventional release coatings.
