Synthesis, characterization and osteoconductivity properties of bone fillers based on alendronate-loaded poly(ε-caprolactone)/hydroxyapatite microspheres

A superior drug controlled release system capable of achieving efficient osteogenesis is in imperative demand because of limited bone substitute tissue for the treatment of bone defect. In the present study, we investigated the potential of using poly(ε-caprolactone)–hydroxyapatite (PCL–HA) composite microspheres as an injectable bone repair vehicle by controlled release of alendronate (AL), a medicine that belongs to the bisphosphonates family. The PCL/HA–AL microspheres were prepared with solid/oil/water emulsion technique, which included two processes: (1) AL was loaded on the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles; (2) the HA–AL complex was built in the PCL matrix. The spherical PCL/HA–AL microspheres were characterized with its significantly improved encapsulation efficiency of hydrophilic AL and better sustained release. Human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured on the surface of these microspheres and exhibited high proliferative profile. Specifically, in osteogenic medium, hMSCs on the surface of PCL/HA–AL microspheres displayed superior osteogenic differentiation which was verified by alkaline phosphatase activity assay. In conclusion, by presenting strong osteogenic commitment of hMSCs in vitro, the PCL/HA–AL microspheres have the potential to be used as an injectable vehicle for local therapy of bone defect.

QoS-aware placement of stream processing service

Many emerging online stream processing services require the consideration of quality of service (QoS), which is highly dependent on the placement of services at various hosts. This paper investigates the QoS-aware placement problems of stream processing services under different contexts. On condition that the client demands are stable, the QoS-aware placement problem aiming to minimize the cost when servers are CPU-uncapacitated, is equivalent to the set cover problem, and can be solved by a greedy algorithm with approximation factor O(log?n), where n is the number of clients. However, when CPU capacity constraints on servers are taken into account, the QoS-aware placement problem cannot be approximated unless P=NP. Therefore, we propose two heuristic algorithms: (1) ISCA (Iterated Set Cover-based Algorithm) and (2) KBA (Knapsack-Based Algorithm). We also consider the placement problem of client demands increasing over time. Two objectives, called extension factor and system lifetime, are proposed for demand increment-blind and increment-aware models respectively. Both of them can be solved by extending ISCA and KBA. The experimental results show that ISCA and KBA have distinct effects on different demand sizes. ISCA is more efficient when client demands are relatively small, while KBA performs better for larger demands.     

基于分段地址结构的快速路由查找算法

根据IPV6地址结构和骨干路由表特点,分析了原有路由查找算法,基于IPV6的掩码长度和分段地址,采用Hash表和多分支Trie树结构,提出了一种快速的IPV6路由查找算法。根据分段地址和掩码将最常用到的路由前缀按前缀长度设置Hash表,并将前缀值有序存放在表结点中。不仅可以进行前缀长度的二分查找,同时又是其它前缀匹配的索引。对于其他的前缀匹配问题,根据Hash表中的索引到相应的多分支Trie树完成最长前缀匹配。实践证明该算法具有较好的时空效率,可以较好地提高路由查找速度。

Hierarchical Magnetic Network Constructed by CoFe Nanoparticles Suspended Within “Tubes on Rods” Matrix Toward Enhanced Microwave Absorption

Hierarchical magnetic-dielectric composites are promising functional materials with prospective applications in microwave absorption(MA)field.Herein,a three-dimension hierarchical“nanotubes on microrods,”core–shell magnetic metal–carbon composite is rationally constructed for the first time via a fast metal–organic frameworksbased ligand exchange strategy followed by a carbonization treatment with melamine.Abundant magnetic CoFe nanoparticles are embedded within one-dimensional graphitized carbon/carbon nanotubes supported on micro-scale Mo2N rod(Mo2N@CoFe@C/CNT),constructing a special multi-dimension hierarchical MA material.Ligand exchange reaction is found to determine the formation of hierarchical magnetic-dielectric composite,which is assembled by dielectric Mo2N as core and spatially dispersed CoFe nanoparticles within C/CNTs as shell.Mo2N@CoFe@C/CNT composites exhibit superior MA performance with maximum reflection loss of−53.5 dB at 2 mm thickness and show a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 5.0 GHz.The Mo2N@CoFe@C/CNT composites hold the following advantages:(1)hierarchical core–shell structure offers plentiful of heterojunction interfaces and triggers interfacial polarization,(2)unique electronic migration/hop paths in the graphitized C/CNTs and Mo2N rod facilitate conductive loss,(3)highly dispersed magnetic CoFe nanoparticles within“tubes on rods”matrix build multi-scale magnetic coupling network and reinforce magnetic response capability,confirmed by the off-axis electron holography.
