The WAXD results indicated that the crystalline structure of PLLA blocks did not alter due to the different chain architectures. The average values of Avrami index(ˉn) were all above 4, which indicated that the nucleation mechanism of PLLA blocks was heterogeneous nucleation, regardless of the architectures. The overall crystallization rates were decreased markedly as following: MPEG-b-PLLA > 4PEG-b-PLLA > 4PLLA-b-PEG, ascribed to the different confinement by PEG blocks and to the steric hindrance of chain architectures. Therefore, the crystallization of PLLA blocks became more difficult and the crystallization activation energy of the PLLA blocks increased due to the confinement of chain architectures.展开更多

Complete analysis of rock failure requires an accurate mathematical model to predict gas temperature at the bottom hole. The currently available mathematical models are unsuitable for use for the purpose because they do not consider the effects of formation fluid influx, Joule–Thomson cooling, and entrained drill cuttings. A new analytical solution for predicting gas temperature profiles inside the drill string and in the annulus was derived in this study for gas-drilling, considering all these three effects. Results of sensitivity analyses show that formation fluid influx can significantly increase the temperature profiles in both the drill string and the annulus.The Joule–Thomson cooling effect lowers the temperature in the annulus only in a short interval near the bottom hole.The drill cuttings entrained at the bottom hole can slightly increase the temperature profile in the annulus.展开更多

The well-defined AunLm catalystspossess unique electronic properties and frameworks, providing an excellent opportunity to correlate theintrinsic catalytic behavior with the cluster's framework as well as to study the catalytic mechanismsover gold nanoclusters. In this review, we only demonstrate the important roles of the gold nanoclustersin the oxygen activation (e.g., 302 to 102) and their selective oxidations in the presence of oxygen (e.g., COto C02, sulfides to sulfoxides, alcohol to aldehyde, styrene to styrene epoxide, amines to imines, andglucose to gluconic acid). The size-specificity (Au25 (1.3 nm), Au38 (].5 nm), Au144 (1.9 nm), etc.), ligandengineering (e.g., aromatic vs aliphatic), and doping effects (e.g., copper, silver, palladium, and platinum)are discussed in details. Finally, the proposed reactions' mechanism and the relationships of clusters'structure and activity at the atomic level also are presented.展开更多

This scheme employs the quality controllable parameter. Moreover it has larger embedding capacity and smaller quality control parameters than other methods in literatures. Meanwhile, the cross chaotic map is employed to generate chaotic sequences, and the total keys of the algorithm is far large. Experimental results and comparisons show that the proposed scheme has large capacity, high security, and strong resistance to brute-force.展开更多

The time cost and storage requirement are very huge for traditional Markov model to analyze the PMS reliability as the number of components increases to a large scale. The states merging method proposed in this paper can account for the PMS with subsystems consisting of identical components, and similar PMSs are common in real-world systems. The simplified Markov model by states merging has smaller number of system states, compared with the traditional one. Furthermore, for the above subsystems, the size of our model increases only linearly as the number of components increases, while the size of the traditional model exponentially increases.Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of our approach are analyzed by comparing with the traditional Markov method.展开更多

Total 20 healthy adult rhesus monkeys were divided into two groups and anaesthetized using either intramuscular (IM) ketamine (20 mg·kg^-1) or ketamine (5 mg·kg^-1 IM) and xylidinothiazoline (1 mg·kg^-1 IM). During anaesthesia rectal temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, saturation of blood oxygen and blood pressure were recorded. The degree of sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation were monitored either. The results showed that ketamine alone did not produce adequate anaesthesia, and the combination of xylidinothiazoline and ketamine provided adequate anesthesia for rhesus monkeys with no significant side effects and little effects on respiration and circulation.展开更多

摘要Lost circulation is a common downhole problem of drilling in geothermal and high-temperature,high-pressure(HTHP)formations.Lost circulation material(LCM)is a regular preventive and remedial measure for lost circulation.However,conventional LCMs seem ineffective in high-temperature formations.This may be due to the changes in the mechanical properties of LCMs and their sealing performance under high-temperature conditions.To understand how high temperature affects the fracture sealing performance of LCMs,we developed a coupled computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method(CFD-DEM)model to simulate the behavior of granular LCMs in fractures.We summarized the literature on the effects of high temperature on the mechanical properties of LCMs and the rheological properties of drilling fluid.We conducted sensitivity analyses to investigate how changing LCM slurry properties affected the fracture sealing efficiency at increasing temperatures.The results show that high temperature reduces the size,strength,and friction coefficient of LCMs as well as the drilling fluid viscosity.Smaller,softer,and less frictional LCM particles have lower bridging probability and slower bridging initiation.Smaller particles tend to form dual-particle bridges rather than single-particle bridges.These result in a deeper,tighter,but unstable sealing zone.Reduced drilling fluid viscosity leads to faster and shallower sealing zones.

The overall crystallization rates were decreased markedly as following: MPEG-b-PLLA > 4PEG-b-PLLA > 4PLLA-b-PEG, ascribed to the different confinement by PEG blocks and to the steric hindrance of chain architectures. Therefore, the crystallization of PLLA blocks became more difficult and the crystallization activation energy of the PLLA blocks increased due to the confinement of chain architectures.

摘要A coordination polymer formulated as[Mn(5-pncH2)2H2O](1,5-pncH3=5-phosphono-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid),was hydrothermally synthesized and magnetically characterized.Compound 1 features a three-dimensional structure in which the inorganic chains of[Mn(O-P-O)]n are cross-linked by the organic groups of phosphonate ligands.Magnetic measurements of 1 indicate that dominant antiferromagnetic interactions are mediated between the MnⅡ centers.

摘要During the transient process of gas drilling conditions,the monitoring data often has obvious nonlinear fluctuation features,which leads to large classification errors and time delays in the commonly used intelligent classification models.Combined with the structural features of data samples obtained from monitoring while drilling,this paper uses convolution algorithm to extract the correlation features of multiple monitoring while drilling parameters changing with time,and applies RBF network with nonlinear classification ability to classify the features.In the training process,the loss function component based on distance mean square error is used to effectively adjust the best clustering center in RBF.Many field applications show that,the recognition accuracy of the above nonlinear classification network model for gas production,water production and drill sticking is 97.32%,95.25%and 93.78%.Compared with the traditional convolutional neural network(CNN)model,the network structure not only improves the classification accuracy of conditions in the transition stage of conditions,but also greatly advances the time points of risk identification,especially for the three common risk identification points of gas production,water production and drill sticking,which are advanced by 56,16 and 8 s.It has won valuable time for the site to take correct risk disposal measures in time,and fully demonstrated the applicability of nonlinear classification neural network in oil and gas field exploration and development.

摘要The performance of gas-drilling(drilling oil and gas wells with air, nitrogen, or natural gas) is very unpredictable in many areas due to lack of proper design of drilling parameters because of limited understanding of gas–rock interaction which requires knowledge of heat transfer in the well system. Complete analysis of rock failure requires an accurate mathematical model to predict gas temperature at the bottom hole. The currently available mathematical models are unsuitable for use for the purpose because they do not consider the effects of formation fluid influx, Joule–Thomson cooling, and entrained drill cuttings. A new analytical solution for predicting gas temperature profiles inside the drill string and in the annulus was derived in this study for gas-drilling, considering all these three effects. Results of sensitivity analyses show that formation fluid influx can significantly increase the temperature profiles in both the drill string and the annulus.The Joule–Thomson cooling effect lowers the temperature in the annulus only in a short interval near the bottom hole.The drill cuttings entrained at the bottom hole can slightly increase the temperature profile in the annulus.

摘要In recent decade, Au nanoclusters of atomic precision (AunLm, where L= organic ligand: thiolate andphosphine) have been shown as a new promising nanogold catalyst. The well-defined AunLm catalystspossess unique electronic properties and frameworks, providing an excellent opportunity to correlate theintrinsic catalytic behavior with the cluster's framework as well as to study the catalytic mechanismsover gold nanoclusters. In this review, we only demonstrate the important roles of the gold nanoclustersin the oxygen activation (e.g., 302 to 102) and their selective oxidations in the presence of oxygen (e.g., COto C02, sulfides to sulfoxides, alcohol to aldehyde, styrene to styrene epoxide, amines to imines, andglucose to gluconic acid). The size-specificity (Au25 (1.3 nm), Au38 (].5 nm), Au144 (1.9 nm), etc.), ligandengineering (e.g., aromatic vs aliphatic), and doping effects (e.g., copper, silver, palladium, and platinum)are discussed in details. Finally, the proposed reactions' mechanism and the relationships of clusters'structure and activity at the atomic level also are presented.

摘要In order to achieve image encryption and data embedding simultaneously, a reversible data hiding(RDH) algorithm for encrypted-compressed image in wavelet domain is proposed. This scheme employs the quality controllable parameter. Moreover it has larger embedding capacity and smaller quality control parameters than other methods in literatures. Meanwhile, the cross chaotic map is employed to generate chaotic sequences, and the total keys of the algorithm is far large. Experimental results and comparisons show that the proposed scheme has large capacity, high security, and strong resistance to brute-force.

摘要OBJECTIVE The plant of Anchusa italicahas been traditionally used in Uighur medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China.Our previous study showed that total flavonoids from Anchusa italica(TFAI)exhibited potent cardioprotection on acute ischemiaeperfusion injured rats.This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of TFAI on chronic myocardial infarction in mice and the underlying mechanism.METHODS Total flavonoids were extracted from the whole herb of Anchusa italica and were characterized using HPLC-MS analysis.The left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to induce myocardial infarction in mice.After surgery,the mice were orally fed with TFAI at the doses of 10,30 and 50 mg·kg-1 body mass per day for a total of four weeks.Cardiac function and infarct size were measured,and the levels of inflammatory mediators were detected.Hematoxylin and eosin(HE)stain and Masson Trichrome stain were performed.The apoptotic factors such as Bax,Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase 3 as well as the key proteins in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway were examined by Western blotting.RESULTS The content of total flavonoids in TFAI was 56.2%.Four weeks following the MI surgery,TFAI enhanced the survival rate in post-MI mice.TFAI administration at the doses of 30 and 50 mg·kg-1 significantly reduced the infarct size and improved cardiac function indicated by elevated EF and FS.Assay of inflammation factors showed that the sera levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly decreased by TFAI treatment as compared to the MI group.HE stain and Masson Trichrome stain demonstrated that TFAI suppressed myocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis indicated by decreased cross-section area and collagen volume.Western blot analysis showed that cleaved caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl-2 were signifi⁃cantly downregulated following TFAI treatment.Additionally,TFAI treatment significantly suppressed the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.CONCLUSION TFAI exerts a protective effect against chronic myocardial infarction and its beneficial effects on cardiac function and cardiac remodeling might be at least attributable to anti-inflammation and suppression of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

摘要This paper presents a simplified Markov model to evaluate the reliability of phased-mission system(PMS). The time cost and storage requirement are very huge for traditional Markov model to analyze the PMS reliability as the number of components increases to a large scale. The states merging method proposed in this paper can account for the PMS with subsystems consisting of identical components, and similar PMSs are common in real-world systems. The simplified Markov model by states merging has smaller number of system states, compared with the traditional one. Furthermore, for the above subsystems, the size of our model increases only linearly as the number of components increases, while the size of the traditional model exponentially increases.Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of our approach are analyzed by comparing with the traditional Markov method.

摘要Influenza virus infection is a global public health issue.The effectiveness of antiviral agents for influenza has been limited by the emergence of drugresistant virus strains.Therefore,there is an urgent need to identify novel antiviral therapies.Our previous studies have found that Cryptoporus volvatus extract could potently inhibit influenza virus replication in vitro and in vivo.However,the effective component of Cryptoporus volvatus which mediated the antiviral activity hasn′t been identified.Here,we identified a novel anti-influenza molecule,cryptoporic acid E(CAE),from Cryptoporus volvatus.Our results showed that CAE had broad-spectrum anti-influenza activity against 2009 pandemic strain A/Beijing/07/2009(H1N1/09),seasonal strain A/Jiangxi/262/05(H3N2),mouse adapted strains A/WSN/33(H1N1)and A/PR8/34(H1N1).We further investigated the mode of CAE action,and found that CAE directlyattenuated influenza virus infectivity.Time-course-analysis indicated that CAE exerted its inhibition mainly at middle stage of the replication cycle of influenza virus.Subsequently,we confirmed that CAE blocked virus RNA replication and transcription in MDCK cells and CAE repressed influenza virus RNA polymerase activity.In addition,we found that CAE impaired influenza virus infectivity by directly targeting virus particles.Our data suggest that CAE is a major effective component of Cryptoporus volvatus and might be a potential candidate for the development of a new anti-influenza virus therapy.
摘要The quantitative anaesthesia assessment technique was used to evaluate the effectiveness of ketamine, ketamine-xylidinothiazoline in rhesus monkey. Total 20 healthy adult rhesus monkeys were divided into two groups and anaesthetized using either intramuscular (IM) ketamine (20 mg·kg^-1) or ketamine (5 mg·kg^-1 IM) and xylidinothiazoline (1 mg·kg^-1 IM). During anaesthesia rectal temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, saturation of blood oxygen and blood pressure were recorded. The degree of sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation were monitored either. The results showed that ketamine alone did not produce adequate anaesthesia, and the combination of xylidinothiazoline and ketamine provided adequate anesthesia for rhesus monkeys with no significant side effects and little effects on respiration and circulation.
摘要In this paper, the concept of distribution effect is proposed without the causal diagram. Following the notation of Stone [11], we assume that the exposure treatment X is an unknown deterministic function of the confounder set Pa(X) and a random error ε. We discuss sufficient and necessary conditions for homogeneity, collapsibility and nonconfounding for distribution effects and discuss relations among them.
