Experimental study on laser cutting process of simulated fast Reactor fuel rods.

The cladding of fast reactor fuel rods, made of stainless steel, presents significant challenges in cutting due to its ductility, which leads to increased tool wear and poor cut quality with traditional mechanical methods. Laser cutting has emerged as a superior alternative, offering non-contact precision, high efficiency, and suitability for radioactive environments. This study systematically investigates the effects of laser cutting parameters-cutting speed, focal position, power, and gas pressure-on the cutting quality of simulated fast reactor fuel rods.

Modification Strategies and Prospects for Enhancing the Stability of Black Phosphorus.

Black phosphorus is a two-dimensional layer material with promising applications due to its many excellent physicochemical properties, including high carrier mobility, ambipolar field effect and unusual in-plane anisotropy. Currently, BP has been widely used in biomedical engineering, photocatalysis, semiconductor devices, and energy storage electrode materials. However, the unique structure of BP makes it highly chemically active, leading to its easy oxidation and degradation in air, which limits its practical applications.

The influence of service performance in China's sci-tech commissioner system: Using social network analysis and interpretable machine learning.

The Sci-Tech Commissioner System (SCS) is a result of exploratory efforts by the Chinese government to use science and technology to strengthen the agricultural sector. Social network analysis (SNA) and machine learning (ML) techniques make it feasible to assess the service performance in China's SCS by using indicators such as group types and structure features. In this study, SNA and a clustering algorithm were employed to categorize service group types of sci-tech commissioners.

Difunctional Ag nanoparticles with high lithiophilic and conductive decorate on core-shell SiO nanospheres for dendrite-free lithium metal anodes.

Lithium metal is an attractive and promising anode material due to its high energy density and low working potential. However, the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites during repeated plating and stripping processes hinders the practical application of lithium metal batteries, leading to low Coulombic efficiency, poor lifespan, and safety concerns. In this study, we synthesized highly lithiophilic and conductive Ag nanoparticles decorated on SiO nanospheres to construct an optimized lithium host for promoting uniform Li deposition.

Follow-up analysis and histopathological study of gastric mucosa in patients with infection.

Objective: To investigate the histomorphological characteristics of the gastric mucosa and the prognosis in patients with infection.

Methods: Progressive damage to the gastric mucosa was examined by immunohistochemistry in 2294 patients with infection and follow-up information was analyzed.

Results: initially colonized the mucus layer covered by the gastric mucosa epithelium, then selectively adhered to and destroyed the surface mucus cells causing intra-gastric and extra-gastric lesions.

New Functionalized Ionic Liquids Based on POSS for the Detection of Fe Ion.

This study reports a novel series of imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) towards effective detection of metal ions, especially Fe3+ ion. H, C, Si NMR, high resolution mass spectra (HRMS) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) were applied to confirm the structures of the ILs based on POSS (ILs-POSS). The three ILs-POSS were synthesized via a green chemistry approach-a thiol-ene "click" reaction without metal ions as catalysts.

New Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes-Based Fluorescent Ionic Liquids: Synthesis, Self-Assembly and Application in Sensors for Detecting Nitroaromatic Explosives.

In this paper, two different models of hybrid ionic liquids (ILs) based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs) have been prepared. Additionally, these ILs based on POSSs (ILs-POSSs) exhibited excellent thermal stabilities and low glass transition temperatures. ¹H, C, and Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to confirm the structures of the IL-POSSs.

The efficacy of parenteral fish oil in critical illness patients with sepsis: a prospective, non-randomized, observational study.

Background And Objectives: To investigate the clinical outcomes in septic patients receiving parenteral fish oil.

Methods And Study Design: A prospective, non-randomized, observational clinical study was carried out in 112 patients with sepsis from March, 2013 to May, 2015 in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of a tertiaryreferral hospital. The patients were put into one of two groups; either the control or the study group.

[Acquirement and evaluation of murine ventricular extracellular matrix].

Cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM), generated from the process of decellularization, has been widely considered as an ideal source of biological scaffolds. However, current ECM preparations are generally difficult to be applied to generate cardiac tissue. Our research was aimed to improve decellularization protocols to prepare cardiac ECM slices.

YGA: identifying distinct biological features between yeast gene sets.

The advance of high-throughput experimental technologies generates many gene sets with different biological meanings, where many important insights can only be extracted by identifying the biological (regulatory/functional) features that are distinct between different gene sets (e.g. essential vs.
