Methods and mechanisms for uniformly refining deformed mixed and coarse grains inside a solution-treated Ni-based superalloy by two-stage heat treatment

The uniform refinement mechanisms and methods of deformed mixed and coarse grains inside a solution-treatment Ni-based superalloy during two-stage annealing treatment have been investigated.The two-stage heat treatment experiments include an aging annealing treatment(AT)and a subsequent recrystallization annealing treatment(RT).The object of AT is to precipitate some δ phases and consume part of storage energy to inhibit the grain growth during RT,while the RT is to refine mixed and coarse grains by recrystallization.It can be found that the recrystallization grains will quickly grow up to a large size when the AT time is too low or the RT temperature is too high,while the deformed coarse grains cannot be eliminated when the AT time is too long or the RT temperature is too low.In addition,the mixed microstructure composed of some abnormal coarse recrystallization grains(ACRGs)and a large number of fine grains can be observed in the annealed specimen when the AT time is 3 h and RT tem-perature is 980℃.The phenomenon attributes to the uneven distribution of δ phase resulted from the heterogeneous deformation energy when the AT time is too short.In the regions with a large number of δ phases,the recrystallization nucleation rate is promoted and the growth of grains is limited,which results in fine grains.However,in the regions with few δ phases,the recrystallization grains around grain boundaries can easily grow up,and the new recrystallization nucleus is difficult to form inside grain,which leads to ACRGs.Thus,in order to obtain uniform and fine annealed microstructure,it is a prereq-uisite to precipitate even-distributed δ phase by choosing a suitable AT time,such as 12 h.Moreover,a relative high RT temperature is also needed to promote the recrystallization nucleation around δ phase.The optimal annealing parameters range for uniformly refining mixed crystal can be summarized as:900℃×12 h+990℃×(40-60 min)and 900℃×12 h+1000℃×(10-15 min).     

基于改进残差特征蒸馏的轻量级超分辨率网络

基于深度学习的图像超分辨率算法通常采用递归的方式或参数共享的策略来减少网络参数，这将增加网络的深度，使得运行网络花费大量的时间，从而很难将模型部署到现实生活中。为了解决上述问题，本文设计一种轻量级超分辨率网络，对中间特征的关联性及重要性进行学习，且在重建部分结合高分辨率图像的特征信息。首先，引入层间注意力模块，通过考虑层与层之间的相关性，自适应地分配重要层次特征的权重。其次，使用增强重建模块提取高分辨率图像中更精细的特征信息，以此得到更加清晰的重建图片。通过大量的对比实验表明，本文设计的网络与其他轻量级模型相比，有更小的网络参数量，并且在重建精度和视觉效果上都有一定的提升。     

Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases as Valuable Targets for Antimicrobial Drug Discovery

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze the esterification of tRNA with a cognate amino acid and are essential enzymes in all three kingdoms of life. Due to their important role in the translation of the genetic code, aaRSs have been recognized as suitable targets for the development of small molecule anti-infectives. In this review, following a concise discussion of aaRS catalytic and proof-reading activities, the various inhibitory mechanisms of reported natural and synthetic aaRS inhibitors are discussed. Using the expanding repository of ligand-bound X-ray crystal structures, we classified these compounds based on their binding sites, focusing on their ability to compete with the association of one, or more of the canonical aaRS substrates. In parallel, we examined the determinants of species-selectivity and discuss potential resistance mechanisms of some of the inhibitor classes. Combined, this structural perspective highlights the opportunities for further exploration of the aaRS enzyme family as antimicrobial targets.     

Sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis of Ba–Sr hexaferrite ceramic powders

We report the mechanism involved in sol-gel auto-combustion synthesis of Ba–Sr-hexaferrite (Ba_1-xSr_xFe₁₂O₁₉; x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1, BSFO) ceramic powders through the analysis of the phases evolved during annealing of the as-synthesized powders, along with their structure and morphological studies. The XRD patterns of the as-synthesized samples indicate the formation of barium/strontium monoferrite ((Ba/Sr)Fe₂O₄) and maghemite (γ-Fe₂O₃) phases along with a minute amount of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) phase. Annealing of these samples facilitates formation of BSFO phase through the solid state reaction between BaFe₂O₄ and γ-Fe₂O₃ phase. Interestingly, after annealing the samples with x = 0, 0.5 and 1, at 1000 °C for 2 h, we observed that phase pure Ba–Sr hexaferrite structure forms, but for samples with x = 0.25 and 0.75, high amount of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) phase is observed, especially for x = 0.75. The reason associated with this could be the large difference between the ionic radii of Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ ions occupying the oxygen site. Furthermore, our study on annealing dependent phase evolution confirms that, this difference in ionic radii forbids the formation of a single phase Ba–Sr hexaferrite. The growth of clear hexagonal-shaped plate-like particles with varied particle sizes was observed for all the samples. The particle size variation may be due to the influence of the ionic radii difference on the sinterability of the samples. Our study provides a better understanding of synthesis mechanism of Ba–Sr hexaferrite samples.     

Ca2+ doping effects on the structural and electrical properties of Na0.5Bi4.5Ti4O15 piezoceramics

Bismuth layer structured Na_0.5Bi_4.5Ti₄O₁₅ (NBT) ferroelectric is one of the most promising materials for potential applications at high temperature. However, it is challenged to achieve a balance between high Curie temperature piezoelectric coefficient and excellent thermal stability for NBT piezoceramics. Here, through chemical modification at the A site of NBT with Ca²⁺, novel (Na_0.5Bi_0.5)_1-xCa_xBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ piezoceramics with excellent properties fabricated by solid state reaction were studied. After doping of Ca²⁺, the Curie temperature T_C increased from 648 °C to 662 °C while the piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ increased from 14 pC/N to 22 pC/N which can be attributed to the intrinsic contribution of TiO₆ octahedral lattice distortion (tilting and rotation) and the extrinsic contribution of the increased density of domain walls. The composition of (Na_0.5Bi_0.5)_0.95Ca_0.05Bi₄Ti₄O₁₅ ceramics with x = 0.05 has the optimal performance with high T_C of 655 °C, large d₃₃ of 22 pC/N, high electrical resistivity ρ close to 10⁷ Ω cm at 500 °C and especially excellent thermal stability of d₃₃ only about 5% reduction after being annealed at 625 °C. The work effectively reveals the great potential of CNBT-5 ceramics for high-temperature piezoelectric applications.
