Shear strength, water permeability and microstructure of modified municipal sludge based on industrial solid waste containing calcium used as landfill cover materials.

In order to prepare a new type of landfill covering material for closure, we used industrial calcium-containing waste (slag, desulfurised gypsum and fly ash) to modify the municipal dewatered sludge. Shear, infiltration and rainfall infiltration model tests were performed to obtain the shear strength parameters of the modified sludge, the hydraulic conductivity during the wet-dry cycle, and the service performance against rainfall breakdown to evaluate the service performance of the modified sludge cover (MSC). Comprehensive characterisation of the modified sludge was analysed by XRD, FTIR and SEM-EDS to revealed the mineral structure, microstructure, and modification mechanism of the sludge.

TH17 functional study in severe asthma using agent based model.

TH17 is a subset of CD4+T cells. Comparing to common asthma patients, there are more TH17 cells in the respiratory systems of the patients with severe asthma. TH17 cells are mainly adjusted by IL23 to produce IL17A and IL17F, which act on the epithelial cells and cause severe asthma.

[Development and application of bioelectric measurement system for vivo bone puncture].

Procedure of a bioelectric signal collection system for vivo critter is introduced in this paper. It is easy to measure the bioimpedance in the tip of appliance, when puncture into the tissue, especially puncture into the bone tissue. We can get a judgment on the position of appliance, thereby achieve assistance on the clinic operation.
