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。     

Direct shear behavior of gravel-rubber mixtures: Discrete element modeling and microscopic investigations

In this paper, a newly developed 3-dimentional discrete element model (DEM) for gravel-rubber mixtures (GRMs), namely DEM4GRM, that is capable of accurately describing the macro-scale shear response (from small to large deformation) of GRMs in a direct shear box apparatus is presented. Rigid gravel grains are modelled as simple multi-shape clumps, while soft rubber particles are modeled by using deformable 35-ball body-centered-cubic clusters. Mixtures are prepared with different volumetric rubber content (VRC) at 0, 10, 25, 40 and 100%, statically compressed under 30, 60 and 100 kPa vertical stress and then sheared, by closely simulating a reference laboratory test procedure. The variation of micro-scale factors such as fabric, normal and tangential force anisotropy is carefully examined throughout the shearing process and described by means of novel micro-mechanical relationships valid for GRMs. Moreover, strong-force chains are scrutinized to identify the transition from rigid to soft granular skeleton and gain insights on the load transfer and deformation mechanisms of GRMs. It is shown that the development of the fabric and force anisotropy during shearing is closely related to the macro-scale shear strength of GRMs, and strongly depends on the VRC. Besides, strong-force chains appear to be primarily formed by gravel-gravel contacts (resulting in a rigid-like mechanical behavior) up to VRC = 30%, and by rubber-rubber contacts (causing a soft-like mechanical response) beyond VRC = 60%. Alternatively, at 30% < VRC < 60%, gravel-rubber contacts are predominant in the strong-force network and an intermediate mechanical behavior is observed. This is consistent with the behavioral trends observed in the macro- and micro-mechanical responses.     

Superconducting Quantum Metamaterials from High Pressure Melt Infiltration of Metals into Block Copolymer Double Gyroid Derived Ceramic Templates

Mesoscale order can lead to emergent properties including phononic bandgaps or topologically protected states. Block copolymers offer a route to mesoscale periodic architectures, but their use as structure directing agents for metallic materials has not been fully realized. A versatile approach to mesostructured metals via bulk block copolymer self-assembly derived ceramic templates, is demonstrated. Molten indium is infiltrated into mesoporous, double gyroidal silicon nitride templates under high pressure to yield bulk, 3D periodic nanocomposites as free-standing monoliths which exhibit emergent quantum-scale phenomena. Vortices are artificially introduced when double gyroidal indium metal behaves as a type II superconductor, with evidence of strong pinning centers arrayed on the order of the double gyroid lattice size. Sample behavior is reproducible over months, showing high stability. High pressure infiltration of bulk block copolymer self-assembly based ceramic templates is an enabling tool for studying high-quality metals with previously inaccessible architectures, and paves the way for the emerging field of block-copolymer derived quantum metamaterials.     

Effect of pressure on elemental diffusion in sulfur–iron reaction

The reaction between sulfur and iron under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) was studied. Sulfur–iron reaction models under different pressure levels were constructed. The morphology and formation mechanism of the reactants were comprehensively analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy–line scanning, metallographic microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pressure of the reaction could significantly affect the diffusion behavior of sulfur and iron during the reaction. With an increase in pressure, the diffusion of iron in the system was inhibited, whereas that of sulfur was enhanced. The pressure distribution gradient at the reaction interface was simulated by finite element calculation. The effect of pressure gradient as the driving force of the reaction on the diffusion behavior of elements was evaluated by thermodynamics combined with experimental results. Based on the experimental results, finite element simulation, and formula derivation, a new standpoint was proposed: the diffusion of substances in the HPHT system was affected by the pressure gradient at the interface.

Effect of hexagonal structure nanoparticles on the morphological performance of the ceramic scaffold using analytical oscillation response

Porous bony scaffolds are utilized to manage the growth and migration of cells from adjacent tissues to a defective position. In the current investigation, the effect of titanium oxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles on mechanical and physical properties of porous bony implants made of polymeric polycaprolactone (PCL) is studied. The bio-nanocomposite scaffolds are prepared with composition of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and TiO₂ powder using the freeze-drying technique for different weight fractions of TiO₂ (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt%). In order to identify the microstructure and morphology of the fabricated porous bio-nanocomposites, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are employed. Also, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of the manufactured scaffolds are examined by placing them in a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 21 days, their weight and pH changes are measured. The rate of degradation of the PCL-HA scaffold can be controlled by varying the percentage of its constituent components. Due to an increasing growth and activity of bone cells and the apatite formation on the free surface of the fabricated bio-nanocomposite implants as well as their reasonable mechanical properties, they have the potential to be used as a bone substitute. Additionally, with the aid of the experimentally extracted mechanical properties of the scaffolds, the vibrational characteristics of a beam-type implant made of the proposed porous bio-nanocomposites are explored. The results obtained from SEM image indicate that the scaffolds produced by the employed method have high total porosity (70%–85%) and effective porosity. The pore size is obtained between 60 and 200 μm, which is desirable for the growth and propagation of bone cells. Also, it is revealed that the addition of TiO₂ nanoparticles leads to reduce the rate of dissolution of the fabricated bio-nanocomposite scaffolds.
