The degradation behavior of implants is significantly important for bone repair. However, it is still unprocurable to spatiotemporally regulate the degradation of the implants to match bone ingrowth. In this paper, a magneto-controlled biodegradation model is established to explore the degradation behavior of magnetic scaffolds in a magnetothermal microenvironment generated by an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The results demonstrate that the scaffolds can be heated by magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) under AMF, which dramatically accelerated scaffold degradation. Especially, magnetic NPs modified by oleic acid with a better interface compatibility exhibit a greater heating efficiency to further facilitate the degradation. Furthermore, the molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the enhanced motion correlation between magnetic NPs and polymer matrix can accelerate the energy transfer. As a proof-of-concept, the feasibility of magneto-controlled degradation for implants is demonstrated, and an optimizing strategy for better heating efficiency of nanomaterials is provided, which may have great instructive significance for clinical medicine. 相似文献
This paper reports the performance of porous Gd-doped ceria (GDC) electrochemical cells with Co metal in both electrodes (cell No. 1) and with Ni metal in the cathode and Co metal in the anode (cell No. 2) for CO2 decomposition, CH4 decomposition, and the dry reforming reaction of a biogas with CO2 gas (CH4 + CO2 → 2H2 + 2CO) or with O2 gas in air (3CH4 +?1.875CO2 +?1.314O2 → 6H2 +?4.875CO +?0.7515O2). GDC cell No. 1 produced H2 gas at formation rates of 0.055 and 0.33?mL-H2/(min?m2-electrode) per 1?mL-supplied gas/(min?m2-electrode) at 600?°C and 800?°C, respectively, by the reforming of the biogas with CO2 gas. Similarly, cell No. 2 produced H2 gas at formation rates of 0.40?mL-H2/(min?m2) per 1?mL-supplied gas/(min?m2) at 800?°C from a mixture of biogas and CO2 gas. The dry reforming of a real biogas with CO2 or O2 gas at 800?°C proceeded thermodynamically over the Co or Ni metal catalyst in the cathode of the porous GDC cell. Faraday's law controlled the dry reforming rate of the biogas at 600?°C in cell No. 2. This paper also clarifies the influence of carbon deposition, which originates from CH4 pyrolysis (CH4 → C + 2H2) and disproportionation of CO gas (2CO → C + CO2), on the cell performance during dry reforming. The dry reforming of a biogas with O2 molecules from air exhibits high durability because of the oxidation of the deposited carbon by supplied air. 相似文献
Si/sub 1-x-y/Ge/sub x/C/sub y/ selective epitaxial growth (SEG) was performed by cold-wall, ultrahigh-vacuum chemical vapor deposition, and the effects of incorporating C on the crystallinity of Si/sub 1-x-y/Ge/sub x/C/sub y/ layers and the performance of a self-aligned SiGeC heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) were evaluated. A Si/sub 1-x-y/Ge/sub x/C/sub y/ layer with good crystallinity was obtained by optimizing the growth conditions. Device performance was significantly improved by incorporating C, as a result of applying Si/sub 1-x-y/Ge/sub x/C/sub y/ SEG to form the base of a self-aligned HBT. Fluctuations in device performance were suppressed by alleviating the lattice strain. Furthermore, since the B out diffusion could be suppressed by incorporating C, the cutoff frequency was able to be increased with almost the same base resistance. A maximum oscillation frequency of 174 GHz and an emitter coupled logic gate-delay time of 5.65 ps were obtained at a C content of 0.4%, which shows promise for future ultrahigh-speed communication systems. 相似文献
A numerical analysis technique for optimisation of microbial reaction and sludge flow has been developed in this study. The technique is based on the 3D multiphase Navier-Stokes solver with turbulence models. In order to make numerical analyses of the total processes in wastewater treatment plants possible, four numerical models, the microbial reaction model, a sludge settling model, oxygen mass transfer model from coarse bubbles, and a model from fine bubbles, are added to the solver. All parameters included in those models are calibrated in accordance with experimental results, and good agreements between calculated results and experimental results are found. Finally, this study shows that the numerical technique can be used to optimise wastewater treatment plants with an example of the operational optimisation of an intermittent agitation in anoxic reactors by coarse bubbles. With a proper appreciation of its limit and advantages, the exploitation of the CFD efficiently leads us to the right direction even though it is not quantitatively perfect. 相似文献
The impact of crosstalk in an arrayed-waveguide N×N wavelength multiplexer is investigated precisely in relation to its application to wavelength-routing N×N all optical networks. In such systems multiple crosstalk light which has the same wavelength as the signal results in signal-crosstalk beat noise. We confirm that the noise is Gaussian and obtain the relation between crosstalk and power penalty. It is shown that the crosstalk must be less than -38 dB for a 16×16 system to keep the power penalty below 1 dB at a bit error rate of 10-9相似文献

Fluoroalkyl end-capped N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutyl)acrylamide oligomer [RF-(DOBAA)n-RF] reacted with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and silica nanoparticles in the presence of low-molecular weight biocides such as
hibitane, hinokitiol, and hinokioil under alkaline conditions to afford RF-(DOBAA)n-RF/silica nanocomposites-encapsulated these biocides in excellent to moderate isolated yields. Fluoroalkyl end-capped N,N-dimethylacrylamide oligomer [RF-(DMAA)n-RF] and acrylic acid oligomer [RF-(ACA)n-RF]/silica nanocomposites-encapsulated hibitane were obtained under similar conditions. Dynamic light scattering measurements
showed that the size of these fluorinated nanocomposites-encapsulated biocides thus obtained is nanometer size-controlled.
Additionally, these fluorinated nanocomposites were shown to have a good dispersibility and stability in methanol and water.
Of particular interest, these fluorinated nanocomposites-encapsulated biocides were found to have a good antibacterial activity
against Staphylococcus aureus, and these nanocomposites were applied to the surface modification of traditional organic polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate). 相似文献
This paper presents an approach of measuring in real-time the vector of finger that is pointing to an object. DSP is used
in the operation processing unit in order to do the real-time processing. The steps include the extraction of flesh-colored
regions from an image, the labeling of the flesh-colored regions, and the detection of two characteristic positions on the
finger so that the direction that the finger is pointing at will be calculated. The entire process takes about 29 msec, which
makes it possible to have the frame rate of 34 fps. With this frame rate, this measurement approach is considered real-time
and promising to be merged into other application systems.

By using structural equations, we investigated the effect of chronic stress on salivary cortisol rhythm and proposed a causal model of chronic stress by using psychosocial and physiological data. First, 111 healthy workers (48 males, 63 females) completed questionnaires on chronic stress and lifestyle habits. Then, they provided saliva samples and answered questionnaires that were prepared to assess their psychological states 5 times (on waking up and at 10:00, 11:40, 14:00, and 16:00) on workdays. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that chronic stress and longer commuting time resulted in sleep irregularities and this disrupted the cortisol circadian rhythm. This suggests that chronic stress disrupts the cortisol circadian rhythm even in healthy individuals, and sleep regularity mediates the effect of chronic stress on the cortisol rhythm.
