氟锆酸钾盐混合物对Mg-3Y-3.5Sm-2Zn合金组织和性能的影响

制备了三种氟锆酸钾(K2ZrF6)盐混合物(M),分别在三个温度下将三种盐混合物加入到铸态Mg-3Y-3.5Sm-2Zn合金中。通过差热分析(DSC),X射线衍射(XRD),光学显微镜(OM),扫描电子显微镜(SEM),能量色散谱(EDS)和拉伸试验研究了合金的显微组织和力学性能,讨论了K2ZrF6盐混合物在合金中的晶粒细化机理。结果表明,铸态Mg-3Y-3.5Sm-2Zn合金由α-Mg,Mg12(Y,Sm)Zn 和 (Mg,Zn)3(Y,Sm)三种相组成。SEM和XRD检测发现,添加K2ZrF6盐混合物不会在合金中产生新的相。在780°C下加入M3盐(60wt% K2ZrF6-20wt% NaCl-20wt% KCl)时,合金的晶粒细化效果最佳。通过在780℃下加入三种盐,铸态Mg-3Y-3.5Sm-2Zn合金的力学性能得到提高,由M3盐细化后的合金具有最佳的力学性能。K2ZrF6盐混合物可细化铸态Mg-3Y-3.5Sm-2Zn合金,这是由于Mg和K2ZrF6之间还原反应得到的细Zr质点和富锆区在合金中起到的晶粒细化作用。

Facile synthesis of the desired red phosphor Li2Ca2Mg2Si2N6:Eu2+ for high CRI white LEDs and plant growth LED device

The red emission with suitable peak wavelength and narrow band is acutely required for high color rendering index (CRI) white LEDs without at the cost of the luminous efficacy. Herein, the Li₂Ca₂Mg₂Si₂N₆:Eu²⁺ red phosphor was prepared with facile solid-state method using Ca₃N₂, Mg₃N₂, Si₃N₄, Li₃N, and Eu₂O₃ as the safety raw materials under atmospheric pressure for the first time, which shows red emission peaking at 638 nm with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 62 nm under blue light irradiation and becomes the desired red phosphor to realize the balance between luminous efficacy and high CRI in white LEDs. The morphology, structure, luminescence properties, thermal quenching behavior, and chromaticity stability of the Li₂Ca₂Mg₂Si₂N₆:Eu²⁺ phosphor are investigated in detail. Concentration quenching occurs when the Eu²⁺ content exceeds 1.0 mol%, whereas high-temperature photoluminescent measurements show a 32% drop from the room-temperature efficiency at 423 K. In view of the excellent luminescence performances of Li₂Ca₂Mg₂Si₂N₆:Eu²⁺ phosphor, a white LEDs with CRI of 91 as a proof-of-concept experiment was fabricated by coating the title phosphor with Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ on a blue LED chip. In addition, the potential application of the title phosphor in plant growth LED device was also demonstrated. All the results indicate that Li₂Ca₂Mg₂Si₂N₆:Eu²⁺ is a promising red-emitting phosphor for blue LED-based high CRI white LEDs and plant growth lighting sources.

Ti-6Al-4V合金多道次热轧过程有限元模拟与实验

采用热力耦合方法对Ti-6Al-4V合金进行了多道次热轧模拟,研究了不同道次温度和等效塑性应变的分布特点。模拟结果表明,轧制过程表面温度低于心部的温度,随轧制道次的增加,表面温度整体表现为降低过程,中心温度整体表现为先升高后降低过程。中心位置比表面位置的等效塑性应变大,表面位置与中心位置的等效塑性应变均随变形道次的增加而增大。结果表明,随着轧制道次的增加,中心显微组织变形大于表面。中心区域组织易于发生动态球化。     

Oxidative Stability of Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) and Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Oil Blends

Chia and sesame oils are important sources of essential fatty acids; however, their ω-3:ω-6 proportions do not comply with nutritional recommendation. A feasible approach to improve the ratio is to blend different oils, but only after understanding physical and chemical changes of the new matrix. Objective of the investigation was to determine the physico-chemical characteristics and the oxidative stability index (OSI), using the Rancimat method, of chia-sesame oil blends. The four ω-3:ω-6 blends tested (1:4, 1:6, 1:8, and 1:10) were exposed to temperatures of 110, 120, and 130 °C. The OSI values of the mixtures varied between 6.24–8.08, 3.07–4.00, and 1.62–2.01 hours for each temperature, respectively. In addition, their mean activation energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Q₁₀ were 88.4 kJ/mol, 85.2 kJ/mol, −41.1 J/mol K, and 2.0. Finally, a shelf life prediction performed at 25 °C indicated stability times between 80 and 123 days. Therefore, combining chia and sesame oils produced blends with a good balance of essential fatty acids.

Mouse Models of Sjögren’s Syndrome with Ocular Surface Disease

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic rheumatic disease that predominantly affects salivary and lacrimal glands resulting in oral and ocular dryness, respectively, referred to as sicca symptoms. The clinical presentation of ocular dryness includes keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), resulting from the inflammatory damage to the ocular surface tissues of cornea and conjunctiva. The diagnostic evaluation of KCS is a critical component of the classification criteria used by clinicians worldwide to confirm SS diagnosis. Therapeutic management of SS requires both topical and systemic treatments. Several mouse models of SS have contributed to our current understanding of immunopathologic mechanisms underlying the disease. This information also helps develop novel therapeutic interventions. Although these models address glandular aspects of SS pathology, their impact on ocular surface tissues is addressed only in a few models such as thrombospondin (TSP)-1 deficient, C57BL/6.NOD.Aec1Aec2, NOD.H2^b, NOD.Aire KO, and IL-2Rα (CD25) KO mice. While corneal and/or conjunctival damage is reported in most of these models, the characteristic SS specific autoantibodies are only reported in the TSP-1 deficient mouse model, which is also validated as a preclinical model. This review summarizes valuable insights provided by investigations on the ocular spectrum of the SS pathology in these models.     

Error analysis to minimize cross-axis couplings in 6-DOF motion systems with a single moving part

In multi-axis motion control, cross-axis couplings cause error force and position disturbances in an axis when a desired motion is generated along another axis. Different from the parasitic errors that result from the imperfections of the mechanical bearings and reference surfaces, cross-axis perturbations are caused by errors that occur both statically (geometrical errors) and dynamically (in the transient responses) and are more prevalent in air-bearing and magnetic-levitation (maglev) stages. The parasitic errors are heavily dependent on the sizes of the stage's mechanical components, while the cross-axis perturbations depend significantly on the mover's speed and acceleration. For stages using permanent magnets (PMs) and Lorentz coils, the causes of off-axis forces include 1) errors in the coil turns' straightness, perpendicularity, and parallelism of the motor axes, and 2) errors in the local magnetizations and PMs' fringing effects. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the topologies of 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) single-moving-part stages to minimize cross-axis couplings. The outcome is a stage configuration with reduced couplings and cross-axis perturbations. This is supported by experimental results performed on a newly developed 6-DOF maglev laser-interferometer stage. Its achieved root-mean-square (rms) positioning noise and minimum step size in XY are 3 nm and 10 nm, respectively. Its achieved resolution in out-of-plane rotations is 0.1 μrad. In addition to the analysis supported by these results, this paper introduces a new measure to represent cross-axis perturbations and to compare the effects of couplings in multi-axis positioning. This measure is entitled the cross-coupling quantity (CCQ) and calculated from the displacement of the stage in the axis of interest, the peak time of the response, and the peak-to-peak (p-p) error in the perturbed axis.
