Synthesis of Hollow Three-Dimensional Channels LiNi_(0.5)Mn_(1.5)O_4 Microsphere by PEO Soft Template Assisted with Solvothermal Method

A appropriate size with three-dimension(3 D) channels for lithium diffusion plays an important role in constructing highperforming LiNi_(0.5)Mn_(1.5)O_4(LNMO) cathode materials, as it can not only reduce the transport path of lithium ions and electrons, but also reduce the side effects and withstand the structural strain in the process of repetitive Li~+ intercalation/deintercalation. In this work, an e fficient method for designing the hollow LNMO microsphere with 3 D channels structure by using polyethylene oxide(PEO) as soft template agent assisted solvothermal method is proposed. Experimental results indicate that PEO can make the reagents mingle evenly and nucleate slowly in the solvothermal process, thus obtaining a homogeneous distribution of carbonate precursors. In the final LNMO products, the hollow 3 D channels structure obtained by the decomposition of PEO and carbonate precursor in the calcination can provide abundant electroactive zones and electron/ion transport paths during the charge/discharge process, which benefits to improve the cycling performance and rate capability. The LNMO prepared by adding 1 g PEO possesses the most outstanding electrochemical performance, which presented an excellent discharge capacity of 143.1 mAh g~(-1) at 0.1 C and with a capacity retention of 92.2% after 100 cycles at 1 C. The superior performance attributed to the 3 D channels structure of hollow microspheres, which provide uninterrupted conductive systems and therefore achieve the stable transfer for electron/ion.

316不锈钢长时总体一次薄膜应力强度许用值预测方法研究

材料的总体一次薄膜应力强度许用值（Smt）是高温反应堆设备结构设计力学分析的重要判定依据，但美国机械工程师协会（ASME）的规范和法国《快堆核岛机械设备设计和建造规范》（RCC-MR）给出的最长30万小时的Smt不能满足长寿期反应堆的设计要求。本文基于ASME规范给出的30万小时许用应力、预计最小断裂应力及断裂应力系数等材料蠕变性能数据，采用Larson-Miller外推模型成功获得了50万小时长寿期的316不锈钢母材和焊缝的长时蠕变性能，可满足长寿期反应堆的设计要求。      

A unified critical state model for geomaterials with an application to tunnelling

This paper is prepared in honour of Professor E.T. Brown for his outstanding contributions to rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering and also for his personal influence on the first author's research career in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. As a result, we have picked a topic that reflects two key research areas in which Professor E.T. Brown has made seminal contributions over a long and distinguished career. These two areas are concerned with the application of the critical state concept to modelling geomaterials and the analysis of underground excavation or tunnelling in geomaterials.Partially due to Professor Brown's influence, the first author has also been conducting research in these two areas over many years. In particular, this paper aims to describe briefly the development of a unified critical state model for geomaterials together with an application to cavity contraction problems and tunnelling in soils.     

A Dual Inhibitor of DYRK1A and GSK3β for β-Cell Proliferation: Aminopyrazine Derivative GNF4877

Loss of β-cell mass and function can lead to insufficient insulin levels and ultimately to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus. The mainstream treatment approach involves regulation of insulin levels; however, approaches intended to increase β-cell mass are less developed. Promoting β-cell proliferation with low-molecular-weight inhibitors of dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) offers the potential to treat diabetes with oral therapies by restoring β-cell mass, insulin content and glycemic control. GNF4877, a potent dual inhibitor of DYRK1A and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) was previously reported to induce primary human β-cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we describe the lead optimization that lead to the identification of GNF4877 from an aminopyrazine hit identified in a phenotypic high-throughput screening campaign measuring β-cell proliferation.

NMMO法竹纤维拉伸强度的影响因素探讨

以竹浆粕为原料,N-甲基吗啉-N-氧化物(NMMO)水溶液为溶剂,没食子酸正丙酯为抗氧剂,采用湿法纺丝工艺制备竹纤维,讨论了竹浆粕的聚合度、纺丝原液的竹纤维素含量以及抗氧化剂添加量等因素对竹纤维拉伸强度的影响,并通过场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)对竹纤维的表面微观形貌进行观察。结果表明:在竹纤维素质量分数为11%～15%、竹浆粕聚合度为450～950、抗氧剂质量分数0～0.5%的条件下,随着竹纤维素含量的增加、竹浆粕聚合度的增大和抗氧化剂添加量的增加,竹纤维的拉伸强度均呈上升趋势;FE-SEM观察发现竹纤维原纤化明显,表面出现明显的表面缺陷。
