    Abstract We address the sliding thermodynamics of van der Waals-bonded bilayers by continuum electromechanics. We attribute the robustness of the ferroelectricity recently observed in h-BN and WTe_{2} bilayers to large in-plane stiffness of the monolayers. We compute the electric susceptibility and specific heat in a mean-field self-consistent phonon approximation. We compare critical temperatures and electric switching fields with the observed values.

    Abstract Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are widely used in the field of self-repair materials. They are a group of covalently cross-linked associative polymers that undergo reversible chemical reactions, and can be further divided into dissociative CANs (Diss-CANs) and associative CANs (Asso-CANs). Self-repair refers to the ability of a material to repair itself without external intervention, and can be classified into self-adhesion and self-healing according to the utilization of open stickers. Unlike conventional materials, the viscoelastic properties of CANs are influenced by both the molecular structure and reaction kinetics, ultimately affecting their repair performance. To gain deeper insight into the repair mechanism of CANs, we conducted simulations by using the hybrid MC/MD algorithm, as previously proposed in our research. Interestingly, we observed a significant correlation between reaction kinetics and repair behavior. Asso-CANs exhibited strong mechanical strength and high creep resistance, rendering them suitable as self-adhesion materials. On the other hand, Diss-CANs formed open stickers that facilitated local relaxation, aligning perfectly with self-healing processes. Moreover, the introduction of crosslinkers in the form of small molecules enhanced the repair efficiency. Theoretically, it was found that the repair timescale of Asso-CANs is slower than that of Diss-CANs with identical molecular structures. Our study not only clarifies the similarities and differences between Diss-CANs and Asso-CANs in terms of their self-repairing capabilities, but more importantly, it provides valuable insights guiding the effective utilization of CANs in the development of self-repair materials.

    Abstract Bioclogging is the most crucial operation problem of the constructed wetlands, which reduce its removal efficiency and life span. A strategy through properly increasing hydraulic loading is proposed in this study to alleviate the bioclogging for CWs. The two-dimensional porous media flow cell (2D PMFC) test indicated that a quadratic correlation was found between local biofilms growth rate and the near-wall Reynolds number (r > 0.765, p < 0.05). The biofilm growth rate declined with the flowrate when Re exceeded about 6.0. It was also found that the higher flowrate (6 mL/min) lead to the homogeneous biofilm and velocity distribution in the PMFC. The column test indicated that the highest hydraulic loading (9.2 cm/h) produced the smallest decrease in hydraulic conductivity, which was 80 times more than that of low hydraulic load (3.0 cm/h) at the end (40 days) of experiment. Moreover, the relatively homogenized distribution of biofilm was found along the column with the highest hydraulic loading, which confirmed that the proper increase in hydraulic loading can alleviate bioclogging.

    Abstract Bioclogging is a commonly encountered operational issue that lowers hydraulic conductivity and the overall performance of the infiltration systems. In this paper, a novel processing for alleviating bioclogging by filter media surface hydrophobic modification was presented. Two-dimensional porous media cells were used to observe the influence of hydrophobic modification on biofilm growth in the pore structure. Moreover, two continuous-flow columns packed with gravel, one of which half gravel was hydrophobically modified, were operated with artificial wastewater to verify the effect of hydrophobic modification on bioclogging alleviation. The results showed that the biofilm growth in the cell with hydrophobic modification was slow, and the biomass was less and liable to wipe off after hydrophobic treatment. Meanwhile, the hydraulic efficiency of the flow seepage field was also improved after hydrophobic treatment. The column tests results showed that the hydraulic conductivity of the filter bed with hydrophobic modification (Column B) decreased more slowly than that of another without hydrophobic modification (Column A). Column B had the hydraulic conductivity (k) of 0.66 cm/s in the final stage of the experiment, while the k of Column A was 0.14 cm/s. It verified that hydrophobic modification of partial filter media can alleviate the bioclogging problem of the infiltration systems to some extent. The results provide a new idea and potential technical support for solving bioclogging problem.

    Abstract Antiferromagnets (AFMs) attract much research interest because of their potential for spintronic applications and open fundamental physics questions. Especially non-collinear AFMs (nAFMs) remain relatively unexplored. Here we formulate the injection, transport, thermal and coherent pumping of spins in nAFMs|normal metal bilayers, reporting that the spin current polarization is a vector with components along both the N\'{e}el vector and net magnetic moment. The interface spin conductance that governs spin injection and pumping is a tensor and depends strongly on the local spin configuration. We explain non-local spin transport experiments in hematite, attribute the controversial sign problem of the antiferromagnetic spin Seebeck effect to interface effects, and suggest that interface engineering may enhance the spin pumping efficiency.

    Abstract Edwardsiella piscicida is a severe fish pathogen with wide host range, causing the huge economic losses in the aquaculture industry. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) as an important second messenger regulates the physiological and behavioral responses to environmental cues in eukaryotic and prokaryotic. The intracellular level of cAMP for effective activity is tightly controlled by the synthesis of adenylate cyclase, excretion and degradation of phosphodiesterase. In this study, we identified and characterized a class III cAMP phosphodiesterase, named as CpdA, in the E. piscicida. To investigate the role of CpdA in the physiology and pathogenicity, we constructed the in-frame deletion mutant of cpdA of E. piscicida, TX01ΔcpdA. The results showed that TX01ΔcpdA accumulated the higher intracellular cAMP concentration than TX01, indicating that CpdA exerted the hydrolysis of cAMP. In addition, compared to the TX01, the TX01ΔcpdA slowed growth rate, diminished biofilm formation and lost motility. More importantly, pathogenicity analysis confirmed that TX01ΔcpdA significantly impaired the ability of invading the epithelial cells, reproduction in macrophages, tissues dissemination and lethality for healthy tilapias. The most of lost properties of TX01ΔcpdA were restored partially or fully by the introduction of cpdA gene. These results suggest that cpdA is required for regulation of the physiology and virulence of E. piscicida.

    Abstract Due to its high sensitivity and specificity, Micro-Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a vital technique for molecular recognition and identification. As a weakly scattered signal, ensuring the accurate focus of the sample is essential for acquiring high quality Raman spectral signal and its analysis, especially in some complex microenvironments such as intracellular settings. Traditional autofocus methods are often time consuming or necessitate additional hardware, limiting real-time sample observation and device compatibility. Here, we propose an adaptive focusing method based on residual network to realize rapid and accurate focusing on Micro-Raman measurements. Using only a bright field image of the sample acquired on any image plane, we can predict the defocus distance with a residual network trained by Resnet50, in which the focus position is determined by combining the gradient and discrete cosine transform. Further, detailed regional division of the bright field map used for characterizing the height variation of actual sample surface is performed. As a result, a focus prediction map with 1μm accuracy is obtained from a bright field image in 120 ms. Based on this method, we successfully realize Raman signal optimization and the necessary correction of spectral information. This adaptive focusing method based on residual network is beneficial to further enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of Micro-Raman spectroscopy technology, which is of great significance in promoting the wide application of Raman spectroscopy.

    Abstract Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a crucial tool for analyzing submicron-scale structures. However, the attainment of high-quality SEM images is contingent upon the high conductivity of the material due to constraints imposed by its imaging principles. For weakly conductive materials or structures induced by intrinsic properties or organic doping, the SEM imaging quality is significantly compromised, thereby impeding the accuracy of subsequent structure-related analyses. Moreover, the unavailability of paired high-low quality images in this context renders the supervised-based image processing methods ineffective in addressing this challenge. Here, an unsupervised method based on Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN) was proposed to enhance the quality of SEM images for weakly conductive samples. The unsupervised model can perform end-to-end learning using unpaired blurred and clear SEM images from weakly and well-conductive samples, respectively. To address the requirements of material structure analysis, an edge loss function was further introduced to recover finer details in the network-generated images. Various quantitative evaluations substantiate the efficacy of the proposed method in SEM image quality improvement with better performance than the traditional methods. Our framework broadens the application of artificial intelligence in materials analysis, holding significant implications in fields such as materials science and image restoration.

    Abstract Breathing is an important physiological activity of human body, which not only reflects the state of human movement, but also is one of the important health indicators. Breathing can change the concentration of water molecules, so monitoring humidity has gradually become a hot topic in modern research. In this study, a humidity sensing composite film with high sensitivity and short response time was made by using the mixture of graphene oxide (GO) and bacterial cellulose (BC) with simple dry film-forming method. L-ascorbic acid was used as reducing agent to reduce GO and improve the conductivity of GO/BC composite film (BG). The influence of different BC contents and the different reduction degree on the resistance change rate of composite film was investigated in details. The maximum resistance change rate of partially reduced BG humidity sensitive composite film reached up to 94%, and the response and recovery time were 13 s and 47 s respectively. Furthermore, the sensor shows obvious resistance change in noncontact sensing test and different breathing states. This kind of humidity sensitive film with fast response and high sensitivity has great potential in human health monitoring and noncontact sensing, and is of great significance in promoting health detection and intelligent life.
