METHODS: Six patients with mild-to-severe HPS and 24 without HPS who underwent LT were prospectively followed before and after LT at mid-term (median, 15 mo). HPS patients were also assessed at Iong-tem (median, 86 mo). RESULTS: Before LT, HPS patients showed lower PaO2 (71 ± 8 mmHg), higher AaPO2 (43 ± 10 mmHg) and lower DLco (54% ± 9% predicted), due to a combination of moderate-to-severe ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) imbalance, mild shunt and diffusion limitation, than non- HPS patients (94 ± 4 mmHg and 19 ± 3 mmHg, and 85% ± 3% predicted, respectively) (P 〈 0.05 each). Seven non-HPS patients had also reduced DLco (70% ± 4% predicted). At mid- and long-term after LT, compared to pre- LT, HPS patients normalized PaO2 (91 ± 3 mmHg and 87 ± 5 mmHg), AaPO2 (14 ± 3 mmHg and 23 ± 5 mmHg) and all VA/Q descriptors (P 〈 0.05 each) without changes in DLco (53% ± 8% and 56% ± 7% predicted, respectively). Post-LT DLco in non-HPS patients with pre- LT low DLco was unchanged (75% ± 6% predicted). CONCLUSION: While complete VA/Q resolution in HPS indicates a reversible functional disturbance, sustained low DLco after LT also present in some non-HPS patients, points to persistence of sub-clinical liver-induced pulmonary vascular changes.展开更多

Solvent ...A coarse-grained model is proposed to study the dynamics of a nano-chain diffusing in porous media. The simulation utilizes a hybrid method which combines stochastic rotation dynamics with molecular dynamics. Solvent molecules are explicitly taken into account to represent the hydrodynamic interactions and random fluctuations. The conformation, relaxation, and diffusion properties of a polymer chain are investigated by changing the density degree of the obstacle matrix. It is found that the average size of the chain is a non- monotonic function of the obstacle volume faction Ф. A dense environment may contribute to extending a linear chain, which can be characterized by larger exponents in the corresponding power law. The relaxation behavior of a stretched chain to a steady state shows dramatic crossover from exponent to power-law relaxation when the values of φ are increased. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the chain size is also studied. Various kinds of scaling properties are presented and discussed. The results can give additional insight into the density effect of porous media on polymer structure and dynamics.展开更多

We find that when the searcher is stationary, the decay rate of the non-detection probability achieves the maximum value when the searcher is fixed at the center of the square search region;when both the searcher and the target diffuse with significant diffusion coefficients, the decay rate of the non-detection probability only depends on the sum of the diffusion coefficients of the target and searcher. When the searcher moves along prescribed deterministic tracks, our study shows that the fastest decay of the non-detection probability is achieved when the searcher scans horizontally and vertically.展开更多

As there exist some modeling uncertainties and errors in the actual system, it is difficult to guarantee the chamber variable temperature conditions and the flow rate of diffusion gas being controlled within its targeted range in the rapid thermal processing (RTP). In this paper, the control applies the programmable logic controller (PLC) to configure control hardware system, proposes expert proportional integral derivative (PID) control method to regulate the gas flow rate and H∞ control strategy to attenuate chamber modeling uncertainties and disturbances, respectively, to steer the chamber rapid variable temperature very close to the expected product temperatures. Furthermore, it designs human-machine integrated user control interface (HMI) and achieves rapid and accurately control performances for user operating production. The designed control system are simulated and tested in the application, which demonstrates that the control method has strong robustness when the modeling uncertainties, errors, parameters perturbation and disturbances, the temperature and flow rate meet the requirements of precisely trajectory following.展开更多

In the present work, a diffusion model is developed to predict where and how fast the solute atoms (either soluble or insoluble) aggregate, and this model is applied to the study of the formation and growth of He bubbles in metal tritides (PdT0.6, ErT2, NbT0.0225, VT0.5, TaT0.097, TiT1.5, ZrT1.6) within one thousand days. The results are in good agreement with the available experimental observations and suggest that searching for metals with a barrier of more than 1.1 eV for a single He atom diffusion and making more defects in metal tritides can significantly reduce the growth of He bubbles and extend the service time of the metals.展开更多

We first non-dimensionalize the problem using the radius of large confining sphere as the spatial scale and the square of the spatial scale divided by the diffusion coefficient as the time scale. The non-dimensional normalized absorption rate is the product of the physical absorption rate and the time scale. We derive asymptotic expansions for the normalized absorption rate using the inverse iteration method. The small parameter in the asymptotic expansions is the ratio of the small sphere radius to the large sphere radius. In particular, we observe that, to the leading order, the normalized absorption rate is proportional to the (n - 2)-th power of the small parameter for .展开更多

In this paper, the performance of an OW spot-diffusing communication system using Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) adaptive multi-beam transmitter configuration has been proposed. The multi-beam transmitter generates multiple spots pointed in different directions, hence, forming a matrix of diffusing spots based on position of the receiver and receiver mobility. Regardless of the position of the transmitter and receiver, NF controller target the spots adaptively at the best locations and allocates optimal power to the spots and beam angle are adapted in order to achieve better signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SNIR). Maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used in the imaging receiver. The proposed OW spot-diffusing communication system is compared with other spot-beam diffusion methods proposed in literature. Performance evaluation revels that the proposed NF based OW spot-diffusing communication system outperforms other spot-beam diffusion methods.展开更多

摘要AIM: To study the presence of sustained low diffusing capacity (DLco) after liver transplantation (LT) in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). METHODS: Six patients with mild-to-severe HPS and 24 without HPS who underwent LT were prospectively followed before and after LT at mid-term (median, 15 mo). HPS patients were also assessed at Iong-tem (median, 86 mo). RESULTS: Before LT, HPS patients showed lower PaO2 (71 ± 8 mmHg), higher AaPO2 (43 ± 10 mmHg) and lower DLco (54% ± 9% predicted), due to a combination of moderate-to-severe ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) imbalance, mild shunt and diffusion limitation, than non- HPS patients (94 ± 4 mmHg and 19 ± 3 mmHg, and 85% ± 3% predicted, respectively) (P 〈 0.05 each). Seven non-HPS patients had also reduced DLco (70% ± 4% predicted). At mid- and long-term after LT, compared to pre- LT, HPS patients normalized PaO2 (91 ± 3 mmHg and 87 ± 5 mmHg), AaPO2 (14 ± 3 mmHg and 23 ± 5 mmHg) and all VA/Q descriptors (P 〈 0.05 each) without changes in DLco (53% ± 8% and 56% ± 7% predicted, respectively). Post-LT DLco in non-HPS patients with pre- LT low DLco was unchanged (75% ± 6% predicted). CONCLUSION: While complete VA/Q resolution in HPS indicates a reversible functional disturbance, sustained low DLco after LT also present in some non-HPS patients, points to persistence of sub-clinical liver-induced pulmonary vascular changes.

摘要Rejuvenator diffusing into aged bitumen was evaluated by determining penetration and chemical components of aged bitumen with rejuvenator coat before and after diffusing experiment.Effects of temperature,time and viscosity of rejuvenator on the diffusing ability of rejuvenator into aged bitumen were investigated.Results indicated that the diffusing ability of rejuvenator into aged bitumen could be enhanced with the increasing of temperature and time,however,the diffusing of rejuvenator into aged bitumen would be restricted due to the volatilization of light component and aging of rejuvenator under high temperature(over 170℃).Rejuvenator with low viscosity diffused into aged bitumen more easily.

摘要A coarse-grained model is proposed to study the dynamics of a nano-chain diffusing in porous media. The simulation utilizes a hybrid method which combines stochastic rotation dynamics with molecular dynamics. Solvent molecules are explicitly taken into account to represent the hydrodynamic interactions and random fluctuations. The conformation, relaxation, and diffusion properties of a polymer chain are investigated by changing the density degree of the obstacle matrix. It is found that the average size of the chain is a non- monotonic function of the obstacle volume faction Ф. A dense environment may contribute to extending a linear chain, which can be characterized by larger exponents in the corresponding power law. The relaxation behavior of a stretched chain to a steady state shows dramatic crossover from exponent to power-law relaxation when the values of φ are increased. The dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the chain size is also studied. Various kinds of scaling properties are presented and discussed. The results can give additional insight into the density effect of porous media on polymer structure and dynamics.
摘要In this paper, we compute the non-detection probability of a randomly moving target by a stationary or moving searcher in a square search region. We find that when the searcher is stationary, the decay rate of the non-detection probability achieves the maximum value when the searcher is fixed at the center of the square search region;when both the searcher and the target diffuse with significant diffusion coefficients, the decay rate of the non-detection probability only depends on the sum of the diffusion coefficients of the target and searcher. When the searcher moves along prescribed deterministic tracks, our study shows that the fastest decay of the non-detection probability is achieved when the searcher scans horizontally and vertically.
摘要The temperature and flow rate control of diffusing chamber is one of the key technologies in the production of poly-crystal silicon thin film. As there exist some modeling uncertainties and errors in the actual system, it is difficult to guarantee the chamber variable temperature conditions and the flow rate of diffusion gas being controlled within its targeted range in the rapid thermal processing (RTP). In this paper, the control applies the programmable logic controller (PLC) to configure control hardware system, proposes expert proportional integral derivative (PID) control method to regulate the gas flow rate and H∞ control strategy to attenuate chamber modeling uncertainties and disturbances, respectively, to steer the chamber rapid variable temperature very close to the expected product temperatures. Furthermore, it designs human-machine integrated user control interface (HMI) and achieves rapid and accurately control performances for user operating production. The designed control system are simulated and tested in the application, which demonstrates that the control method has strong robustness when the modeling uncertainties, errors, parameters perturbation and disturbances, the temperature and flow rate meet the requirements of precisely trajectory following.

摘要In nuclear structural materials, the nuclear irradiations induce the precipitations of soluble elements or produce the insoluble elements such as He atoms that may form clusters, heavily shortening the service life-times of the materials. In the present work, a diffusion model is developed to predict where and how fast the solute atoms (either soluble or insoluble) aggregate, and this model is applied to the study of the formation and growth of He bubbles in metal tritides (PdT0.6, ErT2, NbT0.0225, VT0.5, TaT0.097, TiT1.5, ZrT1.6) within one thousand days. The results are in good agreement with the available experimental observations and suggest that searching for metals with a barrier of more than 1.1 eV for a single He atom diffusion and making more defects in metal tritides can significantly reduce the growth of He bubbles and extend the service time of the metals.
摘要We study the problem of a diffusing particle confined in a large sphere in the n-dimensional space being absorbed into a small sphere at the center. We first non-dimensionalize the problem using the radius of large confining sphere as the spatial scale and the square of the spatial scale divided by the diffusion coefficient as the time scale. The non-dimensional normalized absorption rate is the product of the physical absorption rate and the time scale. We derive asymptotic expansions for the normalized absorption rate using the inverse iteration method. The small parameter in the asymptotic expansions is the ratio of the small sphere radius to the large sphere radius. In particular, we observe that, to the leading order, the normalized absorption rate is proportional to the (n - 2)-th power of the small parameter for .
摘要The spot-diffusing technique provides better performance compared to conventional diffuse system for indoor optical-wireless communication (OWC) system. In this paper, the performance of an OW spot-diffusing communication system using Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) adaptive multi-beam transmitter configuration has been proposed. The multi-beam transmitter generates multiple spots pointed in different directions, hence, forming a matrix of diffusing spots based on position of the receiver and receiver mobility. Regardless of the position of the transmitter and receiver, NF controller target the spots adaptively at the best locations and allocates optimal power to the spots and beam angle are adapted in order to achieve better signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SNIR). Maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used in the imaging receiver. The proposed OW spot-diffusing communication system is compared with other spot-beam diffusion methods proposed in literature. Performance evaluation revels that the proposed NF based OW spot-diffusing communication system outperforms other spot-beam diffusion methods.

摘要Semantic communication(SemCom)has emerged as a transformative paradigm for future wireless networks,aiming to improve communication efficiency by transmitting only the semantic meaning(or its encoded version)of the source data rather than the complete set of bits(symbols).However,traditional deep-learning-based SemCom systems present challenges such as limited generalization,low robustness,and inadequate reasoning capabilities,primarily due to the inherently discriminative nature of deep neural networks.To address these limitations,generative artificial intelligence(GAI)is seen as a promising solution,offering notable advantages in learning complex data distributions,transforming data between high-and low-dimensional spaces,and generating high-quality content.This paper explores the applications of GAI in SemCom and presents a comprehensive study.It begins by introducing three widely used SemCom systems enabled by classical GAI models:variational autoencoders,generative adversarial networks,and diffusion models.For each system,the fundamental concept of the GAI model,the corresponding SemCom architecture,and a literature review of recent developments are provided.Subsequently,a novel generative SemCom system is proposed,incorporating cutting-edge GAI technology—large language models(LLMs).This system features LLM-based artificial intelligence(AI)agents at both the transmitter and receiver,which act as“brains”to enable advanced information understanding and content regeneration capabilities,respectively.Unlike traditional systems that focus on bitstream recovery,this design allows the receiver to directly generate the desired content from the coded semantic information sent by the transmitter.As a result,the communication paradigm shifts from“information recovery”to“information regeneration,”marking a new era in generative SemCom.A case study on point-to-point video retrieval is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system,showing a 99.98%reduction in communication overhead and a 53%improvement in average retrieval accuracy compared to traditional communication systems.Furthermore,four typical application scenarios for generative SemCom are described,followed by a discussion of three open issues for future research.In summary,this paper provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for applying GAI in SemCom,laying the groundwork for the efficient deployment of generative SemCom in future wireless networks.

摘要This study integrates experimental investigation with molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the hydrogen transport mechanisms in polyetheretherketone(PEEK)and polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE),offering fundamental insights into the barrier properties of high-performance polymeric materials.Experimental results demonstrate that PEEK exhibits superior hydrogen barrier performance compared to PTFE at both ambient and elevated temperatures.However,detailed molecular dynamics simulations uncover a distinctive,enthalpy-driven"high solubility-low diffusivity"transport mechanism:although PEEK displays higher hydrogen solubility due to its stronger thermodynamic affinity,its diffusion coefficient is markedly lower than that of PTFE.This mechanism remains operative across a broad operational temperature range(233 K to358 K),yet its influence on overall permeability is strongly temperature-dependent.At room and high temperatures,the exceptionally low diffusivity of PEEK governs the entire permeation process,establishing its effectiveness as a high-performance hydrogen barrier material.In contrast,under low-temperature conditions(e.g.,233 K),the general suppression of diffusion allows the high solubility of PEEK to dominate,resulting in greater overall permeability than PTFE and giving rise to a performance“reversal”phenomenon.This distinct transport behavior originates from the strong non-covalent interactions between hydrogen molecules and the aromatic rings as well as polar functional groups present in the amorphous regions of PEEK,which simultaneously enhance solubility and impose significant kinetic energy barriers.The"structure-mechanism"correlation framework established in this work provides a robust theoretical foundation for the rational design of next-generation hydrogen barrier materials tailored to specific operational temperature requirements.

摘要Mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation is an effective and promising approach for treating various systemic and diffuse diseases.However,the biological characteristics of transplanted mesenchymal stromal cells in humans remain unclear,including cell viability,distribution,migration,and fate.Conventional cell tracing methods cannot be used in the clinic.The use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents allows for the observation of transplanted cells using magnetic resonance imaging.In 2016,the National Medical Products Administration of China approved a new superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle,Ruicun,for use as a contrast agent in clinical trials.In the present study,an acute hemi-transection spinal cord injury model was established in beagle dogs.The injury was then treated by transplantation of Ruicun-labeled mesenchymal stromal cells.The results indicated that Ruicunlabeled mesenchymal stromal cells repaired damaged spinal cord fibers and partially restored neurological function in animals with acute spinal cord injury.T2*-weighted imaging revealed low signal areas on both sides of the injured spinal cord.The results of quantitative susceptibility mapping with ultrashort echo time sequences indicated that Ruicun-labeled mesenchymal stromal cells persisted stably within the injured spinal cord for over 4 weeks.These findings suggest that magnetic resonance imaging has the potential to effectively track the migration of Ruicun-labeled mesenchymal stromal cells and assess their ability to repair spinal cord injury.
摘要Inverse design of advanced materials represents a pivotal challenge in materials science.Leveraging the latent space of Variational Autoencoders(VAEs)for material optimization has emerged as a significant advancement in the field of material inverse design.However,VAEs are inherently prone to generating blurred images,posing challenges for precise inverse design and microstructure manufacturing.While increasing the dimensionality of the VAE latent space can mitigate reconstruction blurriness to some extent,it simultaneously imposes a substantial burden on target optimization due to an excessively high search space.To address these limitations,this study adopts a Variational Autoencoder guided Conditional Diffusion Generative Model(VAE-CDGM)framework integrated with Bayesian optimization to achieve the inverse design of composite materials with targeted mechanical properties.The VAE-CDGM model synergizes the strengths of VAEs and Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models(DDPM),enabling the generation of high-quality,sharp images while preserving a manipulable latent space.To accommodate varying dimensional requirements of the latent space,two optimization strategies are proposed.When the latent space dimensionality is excessively high,SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)sensitivity analysis is employed to identify critical latent features for optimization within a reduced subspace.Conversely,direct optimization is performed in the low-dimensional latent space of VAE-CDGM when dimensionality is modest.The results demonstrate that both strategies accurately achieve the targeted design of composite materials while circumventing the blurred reconstruction flaws of VAEs,which offers a novel pathway for the precise design of advanced materials.

摘要Helium-bearing shale reservoirs are gaining attention as unconventional strategic resources,yet the fundamental mechanisms governing helium occurrence and migration remain poorly resolved.In this study,we integrate high-pressure adsorption–diffusion experiments(308 K,1300 psi)with molecular simulations under reservoir-relevant conditions(70 MPa,403–423 K)to investigate helium behavior in organic-rich shale.Results show that during CH4–He co-adsorption,methane preferentially occupies adsorption sites,thereby reducing the adsorption capacity of helium.Meanwhile,molecular simulations indicate that methane enhances helium’s near-wall residence(adsorption-layer fraction)through confinement and steric hindrance within nanopores.In this stage,varying helium concentration from 0.05%to 5%yields a limited impact on the overall diffusion coefficient.However,during desorption,helium shows a sharp mobility enhancement,and the diffusion coefficient increases from 0.3×10 to 17×10−12m2/s.This increase is attributed to methane evacuation and weak helium binding.Interaction energy analysis reveals that clay minerals dominate helium retention,and increasing methane content strongly non-linear enhances He–shale interactions as helium concentration decreases from 100%to 5%.These findings clarify helium’s occurrence state and its competitive dynamics with methane,offering molecular-level insights into the potential for helium preservation and co-production in CH4-rich shale systems.

摘要Si/Al-rich coal ash tends to generate refractory minerals during gasification,leading to elevated ash fusion temperatures(AFTs)and viscosity.This increases the risk of slagging in entrained-flow gasifiers.Previous studies have reported that the regulation mechanism of high-alumina coal(HAC)by low-AFT coal and transformation of corundum and mullite into eutectic are key factors in improving ash fusibility.However,coal ash has a complex composition,and other components of HAC may affect the melting transformation paths of minerals.In this study,high-purity corundum and mullite were introduced into ash,and the changes during the heating process of coal ash with minerals were investigated.The melting behaviour of two minerals and their impact on the melt structure at high temperature were examined to explain the effect of the two minerals on ash fusibility.The results indicate that increasing the corundum residue in the coal ash,leading to elevated AFTs.Variations in the corundum residue were closely related to the transformation paths of the two minerals during melting.Mullite decomposed into the planar laminar structure(Q3)of Si-O network structures during instantaneous heating.The Q3 species migrated into the coal ash melt,increasing the Al concentration gradient between the liquid phase and corundum derived from mullite;by contrast,the added corundum developed a boundary layer upon corrosion by the molten phase,reducing the Al concentration gradient in solid—liquid phases and increasing the decomposition time of corundum.The interaction between the mineral and liquid phases in coal ash formed a corundum-containing suspension during the melting process,thereby increasing the AFT of ash.Therefore,promoting mullite formation instead of corundum in HAC helps lower AFT for gasification.

摘要The fast solution of linear equations has always been one of the hot spots in scientific computing.A kind of the diagonal matrix splitting iteration methods are provided,which is different from the classical matrix splitting methods.Taking the decomposition of the diagonal elements for coefficient matrix as the key point,some new preconditioners are constructed.Taking the tri-diagonal coefficient matrix as an example,the convergence domains and optimal relaxation factor of the new method are analyzed theoretically.The presented new iteration methods are applied to solve linear algebraic equations,even 2D and 3D diffusion problems with the fully implicit discretization.The results of numerical experiments are matched with the theoretical analysis,and show that the iteration numbers are reduced greatly.The superiorities of presented iteration methods exceed some classical iteration methods dramatically.

摘要The evolution of the γ'-Ni3(Al,Ti)phase in superalloys is governed by a coupled coalescence-ripening mechanism driven by elemental diffusion.In this study,thermal exposure experiments were performed at 750℃and 800℃for durations ranging from 100 to 20,000 h.The γ'phase underwent coalescence-ripening,with its morphology evolving from small spherical particles to elliptical and finally to large spherical particles.During this process,high chemical potential gradients were observed around small-diameter γ'phases and at the long-axis ends of elliptical γ'phases.These gradients drove the dissolution of smaller γ'phases by larger ones and the evolution of elliptical γ'into spherical ones.Concurrently,the Ni/(Al+Ti)ratio in the γ'phase decreased from 3.26 to 3.02 during exposure at 800℃.High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy(HR-STEM)analysis revealed complex atomic arrangements at the γ/γ'interface and the dislocation,featuring variations in interplanar distance and abundant edge dislocations,which serve as efficient pathways for atomic diffusion.Moreover,as the γ'phase coarsened,the γ/γ'interfaces remained coherent,with the lattice mismatch gradually approaching zero.Geometric phase analysis(GPA)indicated a significant relaxation of elastic strain at these interfaces.Based on the change in Al concentration at the γ/γ'interfaces,the interfacial energy decreased by approximately 3 times between 100 and 20,000 h of exposure at 800℃.This study provides foundational insights for a deeper understanding of elemental diffusion mechanisms in superalloys.
