    Abstract Hierarchical polyimides (PIs) not only show outstanding thermal stability and high mechanical strength but also have great advantages in terms of microstructure and surface area, which makes them highly valuable in various fields such as aerospace, microelectronics, adsorption, catalysis, and energy storage. However, great challenges still remain in the synthesis of hierarchical PIs with well-defined microstructure. Herein, polyamide acid salts (PAAS) with tunable ionization degree are synthesized first via the polymerization of dianhydride and diamine monomers in deionized water with 1,2-dimethylimidazole (DMIZ). Then cationic cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) is added to the PAAS aqueous solution to induce the formation of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes based on electrostatic interaction. After a typical hydrothermal reaction (HTR) procedure, hierarchical PIs with different microstructures such as urchin-like PI microparticles, flower-like PI microparticles, and lamellar PI petals can be fabricated simply by changing the additive amount of DMIZ and CTAC. The nanostructure self-assemblies of PAAS are dominated by the charges on macromolecular chains and the formation of hierarchical structures of polymers is ascribed to a geometrical selection process during crystal growth. This work provides valuable insights into the self-assembly behaviors of polyelectrolyte systems for synthesizing well-defined hierarchical polymers.

    Abstract Bioceramics are widely used in bone tissue engineering, yet the inherent high brittleness and low ductility of the ceramics lead to poor machinability, which restricts their clinical applications. Here, a flexible and processable 3D printed bioceramic scaffold with high ceramic content (66.7 %) and shape fidelity (volume shrinkage rate < 5 %) was developed by freeze-thaw cycles, which was assisted by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and silk fibroin (SF). The hydrogen bonding between PVA imparted printability to the ceramic ink and enabled the subsequent formation of flexible scaffolds, which can be twisted, bend and cut to match bone defects. After adding SF, the printability of the inks and hydrophilicity of the scaffolds were enhanced, owing to the interactions between PVA and SF. Further, combined with the formation of β-sheet in SF, the scaffolds exhibited superior mechanical strength and excellent thermal stability, and can fully recover at 35 % compressive strain, which was breaking through the brittleness bottleneck of conventional ceramic scaffolds. Moreover, in vitro experiments showed excellent mineralization ability, osteogenic and angiogenic activities of the scaffolds, demonstrating its potential in bone regeneration. This initial study offers a promising personalized material for bone repair that can be used rapidly during surgery.

    Abstract Interfacial layers with brittle intermetallic compounds (IMC) greatly influence the performance of steel-aluminum friction stir lap welding (FSLW) joints. Thus, the formation and evolution of IMC between 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and galvanized DP590 steel in steel-aluminum FSLW joints were investigated. An FSLW numerical model was developed using the computational fluid dynamics method to analyze the interface temperature between the aluminum alloy and steel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted to observe the microstructure characterization and measure the IMC thickness. Phases among different joint zones were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). IMC layer formation was predicted by the effective Gibbs free energy model presented in this paper according to thermodynamic principles. The Monte Carlo method was utilized to predict the thickness of IMC layers. It was found that the IMC layer at the interface of the welded joint is composed of Fe

    Abstract A 10 kV distribution network is a crucial piece of infrastructure to guarantee enterprises' and households' access to electricity. Stripping cables is one of many power grid maintenance procedures that are now quickly expanding. However, typical cable-stripping procedures are manual and harmful to workers. Although numerous automated solutions for grid maintenance have been created, none of them focus on cable stripping, and most of them have large dimensions to guarantee multi-functions. In this paper, a new cable-stripping robot for the 10 kV power system is introduced. The design of a live working cable-stripping robot that is appropriate for installing insulating rods is introduced, taking into account the working environment of 10 kV overhead lines and the structural characteristics of overhead cables. The robot is managed by an auxiliary remote control device. A cascade PID control technology based on the back propagation neural network (BPNN) method was developed, as the stripper robot's whole system is nonlinear and the traditional PID controller lacked robustness and adaptability in complex circumstances. To validate the structural feasibility of the cable-stripping robot, as well as the working stability and adaptability of the BPNN-PID controller, a 95 mm

    Abstract In order to clarify the mechanism of tiller–soil interaction in the process of strip rotary tillage, this paper conducted a simulation and experimental research on four blade configurations composed of three rotary blades (bent C, straight and hoe) at three rotation speeds (280, 380 and 510 rpm). The study found that the soil throwing characteristics of the blades are the key factors affecting the quality of tillage. The increase in the rotation speed not only improved the soil breaking effect, but also enhanced the phenomenon of soil throwing and then led to a reduction in the soil backfill. In the BC configuration (combination of four bent C blades), the bent C blades showed the best soil throwing characteristics and created the best soil fragmentation. However, due to the obvious side throwing of the soil, the backfill effect of soil fragmentation was the worst. The backfill rate was only 8% when the rotation speed was 510 rpm and could not allow reaching the required seed–soil contact during sowing. The hoe blades in the HC configuration (combination of four hoe blades) could collect part of the soil fragments and throw them towards the direction of the machine during the cultivation process, which led to a good soil breaking effect and a low soil side throwing rate. When the rotation speed was 510 rpm, 36% of the soil was backfilled into the seedbed. In the SC configuration (combination of four straight blades), the straight blades could well control the scattering of the side-thrown soil fragments. At a super-high rotation speed (510 rpm), the side throwing rate was only 70%, and the backfill rate was as high as 60%. However, the soil fragments created by the blades were too large (average soil block diameter > 40 mm) and could not form a loose and finely broken seedbed environment. The MC configuration (combination of two straight blades and two hoe blades) benefited from the combination of straight blades and hoe blades, offering outstanding advantages for backfill and soil fragmentation. Therefore, ...

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is well known as a prevalent malignancy affecting the digestive tract, yet its precise etiological determinants remain to be elusive. Accordingly, identifying specific molecular targets for colorectal cancer and predicting potential malignant tumor behavior are potential strategies for therapeutic interventions. Of note, apoptosis (type I programmed cell death) has been widely reported to play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis by exerting a suppressive effect on cancer development. Moreover, autophagy-dependent cell death (type II programmed cell death) has been implicated in different types of human cancers. Thus, investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying apoptosis and autophagy-dependent cell death is paramount in treatment modalities of colorectal cancer. In this study, we uncovered that a new small-molecule activator of SIRT3, named MY-13, triggered both autophagy-dependent cell death and apoptosis by modulating the SIRT3/Hsp90/AKT signaling pathway. Consequently, this compound inhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration in RKO and HCT-116 cell lines. Moreover, we further demonstrated that the small-molecule activator significantly suppressed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that the novel small-molecule activator of SIRT3 may hold a therapeutic potential as a drug candidate in colorectal cancer.

    Abstract Purpose: To explore changes in corneal epithelial thickness (CET) after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis in patients with high astigmatism.
    Methods: CET was measured at every intersection of the concentric circles and specific axes using AngioVue optical coherence tomography (Angio-OCT) preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. The average thickness of corneal central, paracentral, and peripheral regions was the mean of the points within the central 2, 2 to 5, and 5 to 7 mm areas, respectively. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the association between CET along different axes and other preoperative and postoperative parameters.
    Results: Forty-two eyes of 28 patients were included. CET along the astigmatic (K1) and perpendicular (K2) axes in the central and paracentral areas increased (
    Conclusions: Epithelial modeling differed between the different astigmatism axes after refractive surgery. The compensatory response of the corneal epithelium is more pronounced along the steeper axis.

    Abstract Anthropogenic waste deposition in aquatic environments precipitates a decline in water quality, engendering pollution that adversely impacts human health, ecological integrity, and economic endeavors. The evolution of underwater robotic technologies heralds a new era in the timely identification and extraction of submerged litter, offering a proactive measure against the scourge of water pollution. This study introduces a refined YOLOv8-based algorithm tailored for the enhanced detection of small-scale underwater debris, aiming to mitigate the prevalent challenges of high miss and false detection rates in aquatic settings. The research presents the YOLOv8-C2f-Faster-EMA algorithm, which optimizes the backbone, neck layer, and C2f module for underwater characteristics and incorporates an effective attention mechanism. This algorithm improves the accuracy of underwater litter detection while simplifying the computational model. Empirical evidence underscores the superiority of this method over the conventional YOLOv8n framework, manifesting in a significant uplift in detection performance. Notably, the proposed method realized a 6.7% increase in precision (P), a 4.1% surge in recall (R), and a 5% enhancement in mean average precision (mAP). Transcending its foundational utility in marine conservation, this methodology harbors potential for subsequent integration into remote sensing ventures. Such an adaptation could substantially enhance the precision of detection models, particularly in the realm of localized surveillance, thereby broadening the scope of its applicability and impact.
