The Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is a nonequilibrium gas discharge that is generated in the space between two electrodes, which are separated by an insulating dielectric layer. The dielectric layer can be put on either of the two electrodes or be inserted in the space between two electrodes. If an AC or pulse high voltage is applied to the electrodes that is operated at applied frequency from 50Hz to several MHz and applied voltages from a few to a few tens of kilovolts rms, the breakdown can occur in working gas, resulting in large numbers of micro-discharges across the gap, the gas discharge is the so called DBD. Compared with most other means for nonequilibrium discharges, the main advantage of the DBD is that active species for chemical reaction can be produced at low temperature and atmospheric pressure without the vacuum set up, it also presents many unique physical and chemical process including light, heat, sound and electricity. This has led to a number of important applications such as ozone synthesizing, UV lamp house, CO2 lasers, et al. In recent years, due to its potential applications in plasma chemistry, semiconductor etching, pollution control, nanometer material and large area flat plasma display panels, DBD has received intensive attention from many researchers and is becoming a hot topic in the field of non-thermal plasma.

The progress of science and technology has driven the development of the society, and the application of threedimensional simulation technology in all walks of life has greatly improved people's life. Maritime affairs is an important part of comprehensive transportation. The improvement of maritime supervision and service level is conducive to the construction of domestic first-class economic law enforcement system and international leading maritime management institutions. Now the application of 3D simulation technology to maritime supervision is studied, aiming to improve the quality and efficiency of supervision, make maritime supervision more convenient and have further guarantee. Maritime supervision of ship environment is often more troublesome than personnel management. In the process of monitoring and control, many uncontrollable environmental factors greatly increase the difficulty of supervision, among which the port environment is more complex, which is a difficulty of monitoring and control in maritime supervision. This paper uses MapInfo Professional, Win Topo, Multigen Creator and other operating software to construct the Qingdao port visual simulation environment. The port topographic cloud map of Qingdao Port was captured, and the collected image information was converted into data through MapInfo Professional and Win Topo software, and then modeled by Multigen Creator software. After completing the general terrain outline, the established simulation scene was made more realistic and realistic through some detail processing and optimization means. By describing the establishment of 3D simulation terrain in Qingdao Port, the application status of the simulation technology in ship environment and port management is reflected, which provides a reference for the deeper application of 3D simulation technology in maritime supervision.

Axial compressed UHPC plate-concrete filled steel tubular composite short columns, Part I: Bearing capacity

Jiangang Wei,Zhitao Xie,Wei Zhang,Yan Yang,Xia Luo,Bao-chun Chen 국제구조공학회 2023 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.47 No.3

An experimental study on six axially-loaded composite short columns with different thicknesses of steel tube and that of the concrete plate was carried out. Compared to the mechanical behavior of component specimens under axially compressed, the failure modes, compression deformation, and strain process were obtained. The two main parameters that have a significant enhancement to cross-sectional strength were also analyzed. The failure of an axially loaded UHPC-CFST short column is due to the crushing of the UHPC plate, while the CFST member does reach its maximum resistance. A reduction coefficient K′c, related to the confinement coefficient, is introduced to account for the contribution of CFST members to the ultimate load-carrying capacity of the UHPC-CFST composite short columns. Based on the regression analysis of the relationship between the confinement index ξ and the value of fcc/fc, a unified formula for estimating the axial compressive strength of CFST short columns was proposed, combined with the experimental results in this research, and an equation for reliably predicting the strength of UHPC-CFST composite short columns under axial compression were also proposed.

Nanocomposites of Polypropylene and Halloysite Nanotubes Prepared by a Novel Vane Mixer

Xiaochun Yin,Sai Li,Liang Wang,Guangjian He,Zhitao Yang 한국고분자학회 2017 폴리머 Vol.41 No.2

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were used to prepare polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites through a novel vane mixer. The effects of melt blend time and halloysite content on properties of composites were investigated. SEM analysis was performed to show that HNTs were well dispersed in PP matrix with the increase of mixing time. DSC showed both the degree of crystallinity and crystallization temperature increased due to the introduction of HNTs into PP, which indicating a potential nucleation effect induced by the nanotubes. TGA illustrated that the presence of HNTs had two opposite effects on the thermal behavior. A surface catalytic action of the halloysite speeded up thermal degradation of PP. However, this effect was reduced with improved HNTs dispersion. Rheological investigations revealed that rheological properties were significantly increased by the addition of low fraction of halloysite to PP. The 2 wt% HNTs nanocomposites reached maximum tensile strength because HNTs dispersed evenly in PP.

Background: Fibrosis and inflammation due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction substantially contributes to poor renal function. Urine-derived stem-cell-derived exosomes (USC-Exos) have therapeutic effects through paracrine. Methods: In vitro, the effects of USC-Exos on the biological functions of HK-2 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were tested. Cell inflammation and fibrosis were induced by transforming growth factor-β1 and interleukin-1β, and their anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects were observed after exogenous addition of USC-Exos. Through high-throughput sequencing of microRNA in USC-Exos, the pathways and key microRNAs were selected. Then, the antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects of exosomal miR-122-5p and target genes were verified. The role of the miR-122-5p/SOX2 axis in anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects was verified. In vivo, a rabbit model of partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) was established. Magnetic resonance imaging recorded the volume of the renal pelvis after modeling, and renal tissue was pathologically analyzed. Results: We examined the role of USC-Exos and their miR-122-5p content in obstructive kidney injury. These Exos exhibit antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory activities. SOX2 is the hub gene in PUUO and negatively related to renal function. We confirmed the binding relationship between miR-122-5p and SOX2. The anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects of miR-122-5p were inhibited, indicating that miR-122-5p has anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects by inhibiting SOX2 expression. In vivo, the PUUO group showed typical obstructive kidney injury after modeling. After USC-Exo treatment, the shape of the renal pelvis shown a remarkable improvement, and inflammation and fibrosis decreased. Conclusions: We confirmed that miR-122-5p from USC-Exos targeting SOX2 is a new molecular target for postoperative recovery treatment of obstructive kidney injury.
