Multi-scale characteristics of magnesium potassium phosphate cement modified by metakaolin

Workability and early-ages mechanical properties are important indicators of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC) as a repair material. The effect of metakaolin (MK) on the setting time, fluidity and early-ages strength of MKPC paste was studied, and its influence mechanism was analyzed through pore structure, microstructure and nanomechanical properties. The results show that 10% and 20% of MK prolong the setting time of MKPC paste, but excessive MK shortens the setting time of MKPC paste. Meanwhile, incorporating MK reduces the fluidity of MKPC paste, and the early-ages strength of MKPC specimens increases when the substitution ratio of MK is 10%. When 10% of MK is incorporated to the MKPC paste, the 30-d shrinkage of the sample is only 69% of the control group. Meanwhile, a proper amount of MK can improve the pore structure of the MKPC specimen and make its microstructure denser by generating amorphous aluminosilicate phosphate gel. It is observed from the nano-scale characteristics that incorporating 10% MK can reduce the content of pore phase and unreacted MgO phase, and increase the volume fraction of hydration products.     

气候因子对湘东茶陵烟区烤烟氯、钾含量的影响

为探究气候因子对湘东烟区烤烟氯、钾含量的影响，对茶陵县2012—2018年间烤烟氯、钾含量及其与主要气候因子之间的关系进行了分析。结果表明，湘东茶陵烟区烤烟大田期平均气温23.0℃，≥10℃活动积温2 909.5℃，降雨量865.6 mm，日照时数529.5 h，属于适宜种植优质烤烟地区。2012年至2018年钾含量均处于适宜范围内，部分年度中、下部烟叶氯含量偏低。相关分析表明，上部烟叶氯含量与上部叶采收期气温、≥10℃积温、≥20℃积温显著负相关；中部烟叶氯含量与伸根期≥20℃积温显著正相关，而钾含量与下部叶采收期和大田期≥10℃积温显著正相关；下部烟叶钾含量与伸根期气温和≥10℃积温显著正相关；氯、钾含量与降雨量均无显著相关。雨水淋溶可能是造成茶陵烟区烟叶氯离子含量偏低的主要原因，而提高伸根期土壤温度可提高烟叶钾、氯含量。

One‐Step Construction of N,P‐Codoped Porous Carbon Sheets/CoP Hybrids with Enhanced Lithium and Potassium Storage

Despite the desirable advancement in synthesizing transition‐metal phosphides (TMPs)‐based hybrid structures, most methods depend on foreign‐template‐based multistep procedures for tailoring the specific structure. Herein, a self‐template and recrystallization–self‐assembly strategy for the one‐step synthesis of core–shell‐like cobalt phosphide (CoP) nanoparticles embedded into nitrogen and phosphorus codoped porous carbon sheets (CoP?NPPCS), is first proposed. Relying on the unusual coordination ability of melamine with metal ions and the cooperative hydrogen bonding of melamine and phytic acid to form a 2D network, a self‐synthesized single precursor can be attained. Importantly, this approach can be easily expanded to synthesize other TMPs?NPPCS. Due to the unique compositional and structural characteristics, these CoP?NPPCSs manifest outstanding electrochemical performances as anode materials for both lithium‐ and potassium‐ion batteries. The unusual hybrid architecture, the high specific surface area, and porous features make the CoP?NPPCS attractive for other potential applications, such as supercapacitors and electrocatalysis.     

Quality-by-design approach for the development of telmisartan potassium tablets

A quality-by-design approach was adopted to develop telmisartan potassium (TP) tablets, which were bioequivalent with the commercially available Micardis^® (telmisartan free base) tablets. The dissolution pattern and impurity profile of TP tablets differed from those of Micardis^® tablets because telmisartan free base is poorly soluble in water. After identifying the quality target product profile and critical quality attributes (CQAs), drug dissolution, and impurities were predicted to be risky CQAs. To determine the exact range and cause of risks, we used the risk assessment (RA) tools, preliminary hazard analysis and failure mode and effect analysis to determine the parameters affecting drug dissolution, impurities, and formulation. The range of the design space was optimized using the face-centered central composite design among the design of experiment (DOE) methods. The binder, disintegrant, and kneading time in the wet granulation were identified as X values affecting Y values (disintegration, hardness, friability, dissolution, and impurities). After determining the design space with the desired Y values, the TP tablets were formulated and their dissolution pattern was compared with that of the reference tablet. The selected TP tablet formulated using design space showed a similar dissolution to that of Micardis^® tablets at pH 7.5. The QbD approach TP tablet was bioequivalent to Micardis^® tablets in beagle dogs.     

Nonlinear dynamics of potassium iodide adsorption on the interface of carbon steel in acidic medium

The development of inhibitors for hydrochloric acidic media is very common. Potassium iodide, in combination with some organic inhibitors, may transform a mediocre inhibitor into an excellent corrosion inhibitor based on a synergetic effect. There is a need to study what happens at the interface in the presence of this compound. The dynamics of the metal electrolyte interface when KI concentration increases has been characterized. The present study has been carried out based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical noise analysis in the light of nonlinear phenomena by applying recurrence plots and fractal geometry. The fractal dimension of the current–time series shows a direct relationship with the fractal dimension of the surface of steel. The phenomenon of self-organization has been observed on the metal surface. The nonlinear analysis carried out by means of recurrence plots showed that the iodide ions' inhibitory effect is not only simple adsorption but also a nonlinear phenomenon that auto-organizes. The degree of complexity increases, consequently causing an interaction between the microcells and resulting in a lower charge-transfer rate.     

铠装硅酸钾胶黏剂在特殊工况下的绝缘失效分析

为探索铠装硅酸盐胶黏剂在特殊环境下的绝缘特性，本文制备不同碱金属离子含量及固液配比的硅酸钾胶黏剂样品，将其固封于不锈钢管体中，在潮湿环境与高温条件下分析其绝缘性能并进行失效分析。结果表明：在潮湿环境中，胶体中的固液配比及碱金属（K⁺）含量会影响铠装试样的整体绝缘性能，当固液配比为2∶1时，硅酸钾与硅溶胶质量比在（2～1）∶1之间时，其绝缘效果较佳；在高温条件下，随着温度的升高及保温时间的延长，铠装壳体中部分合金元素渗入胶体表面，造成样品绝缘性能较大幅度的下降。     

Synergistic antimicrobial effect of lactocin AL705 and nisin combined with organic acid salts against Listeria innocua 7 in broth and a hard cheese

The effectiveness of antimicrobial mixtures against Listeria innocua 7, used as a L. monocytogenes surrogate, was investigated in broth and a food system. Synergistic effects were found for nisin (Nis), potassium sorbate (PS), calcium propionate (CP) and sodium lactate (SL), Nis + PS being the most effective binary mixture that exhibited listericidal activity in broth. To assess the effect of adding lactocin AL705 (AL705) to Nis + organic acid salt combinations, tridimensional isobolograms were generated. Sub-MIC combinations of the antimicrobials exerted bactericidal activity against L. innocua 7 after AL705 addition to the binary mixtures. However, when applied on Sardo cheese contaminated with L. innocua 7 (initial inoculum 4.45 ± 0.06 CFU g⁻¹), only Nis + PS + AL705 produced count reductions respect to the control, reaching 3.04 ± 0.35 CFU g⁻¹ counts after 15 days at 15 °C. Ternary combinations containing AL705 showed potential to reduce antimicrobial usages for L. innocua 7 inhibition.
