Novel TiC-based composites were synthesized by reactive hot-pressing at 1800 °C for 1 h with ZrB2 addition as a sintering aid for the first time. The effects of ZrB2 contents on the phase composition, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties were reported. Based on the reaction and solid solution coupling effects between ZrB2 and TiC, the product ZrC may be partially or completely dissolved into the TiC matrix, and then phase separation within the miscibility gap is observed to form lamellar nanostructured ZrC-rich (Zr, Ti)C. The TiC-10 mol.% ZrB2 (starting batch composition) exhibits good comprehensive mechanical properties of hardness 27.7 ± 1.3 GPa, flexural strength 659 ± 48 MPa, and fracture toughness of 6.5 ± 0.6 MPa m1/2, respectively, which reach or exceed most TiC-based composites using ceramics as sintering aids in the previous reports. 相似文献
Coal mining can dramatically change hydrogeological conditions and induce serious environmental problems. Fifty groundwater samples were collected from the main aquifers in the Yuaner coal mine (Anhui Province, China). The results show that the main hydrogeochemical processes in the mine include dissolution, precipitation, pyrite oxidation, desulfurization, and cation exchange. The Neogene porous aquifer is affected by groundwater flow conditions; its main hydrogeochemical processes are dissolution of carbonate minerals and gypsum, and cation exchange. The Permian coal measure’s fractured sandstone aquifer was confirmed to be controlled by the region’s geological structure; its main hydrogeochemical processes are desulfurization and cation exchange. The Carboniferous Taiyuan limestone aquifer was determined by both groundwater flow conditions and regional geological structure; its main hydrogeochemical processes are dissolution of carbonate minerals and gypsum, pyrite oxidation, and cation exchange. Additionally, hydrogeochemical inverse modeling of the groundwater flow path confirm the hydrochemistry results and principal component analysis.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are highly heterogeneous myeloid neoplasms, and a large number of
patients are difficult to diagnose and classify by blood and bone marrow examination. As a surface marker of
granulocyte, studies have shown CD10 can be used to define the degree of granulocyte maturation in MDS patients.
However, whether it can be used for differential diagnosis of MDS and other hematological diseases remains
inconclusive. To explore the value of CD10 for differential diagnosis of MDS, 60 newly diagnosed MDS, 20 aplastic
anemia (AA) patients, and 35 iron-deficient anemia (IDA) patients were selected for this study. Bone marrow (BM)
specimens were processed for surface marker analysis and labeled with pre-conjugated monoclonal antibodies. Stained
cells were detected by flow cytometry. Our results indicated that CD10-positive granulocytes were significantly
decreased in BM of MDS patients than AA and IDA patients, and the level of CD10-positive mature granulocytes was
not associated with the clinical stages of malignancy. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) areas under the curve
(AUC) of CD10-positive granulocytes was 0.86 and 0.85, respectively, in MDS patients than the IDA group and AA
group with good specificity and sensitivity. Further, CD10-positive granulocytes were increased after effective
treatment. In conclusion, we found the decrease in CD10-positive granulocytes has a differential diagnostic value of MDS. 相似文献
