    Abstract Sustainable management of spent extraction solvents (SES) is paramount in the nuclear industry. This study delves into the optimization and oxidation pathways of treating these solvents using supercritical water oxidation (SCWO). Response surface methodology (RSM) has been employed to optimize key operating variables, that is, temperature, residence time and oxidant concentration, producing a highly accurate quadratic polynomial model. The results showed that the total organic carbon (TOC) removal could reach up to 99.25% under 549 °C, 67.7 s and with an oxidation coefficient of 274.3%. Product analysis of the effluent

    Abstract The accumulation of ice in winter has brought many problems in industrial production and everyday life, and how to prevent icing or remove ice rapidly has aroused great attention from researchers in recent years. In this work, we demonstrated a strategy of using a superhydrophobic photothermal and thermal isolation macroporous xerogel (PMX) to delay icing and remove ice efficiently under faint sunlight irradiation. An oriented macroporous xerogel was prepared by an ice templating method, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes acting as the photothermal genesis component under sunlight irradiation were introduced into the xerogel. After fluorination, the PMX presented a robust water repellency and delayed icing. More importantly, numerous macropores in the PMX matrix acted as the thermal barrier that can restrict heat transmission to surroundings at maximum, which guarantees efficient anti-icing and de-icing in low temperature. Water on the PMX surface can never freeze at −30 °C under 0.25 kW/m² (“0.25 sun”) sunlight irradiation. The outdoor experiment also has confirmed the availability of PMX in a natural winter environment. The PMX integrated with thermogenesis and thermo-isolation functions provides a new route for highly efficient anti-icing and de-icing.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of glucose pretreatment in the rapid rehabilitation surgery of hip replacement patients, and to provide reference for the future clinical treatment.
    Methods: From June 2016 to June 2018, 168 patients (100 males, 68 females) were treated with hip replacement. The patients were divided into control group and observation group, 84 cases in each group, aged 25 to 90 (52.05±5.73) years old. Both groups were treated with the concept of rapid rehabilitation surgery, the control group was given traditional fasting water deprivation before operation, and the observation group was given glucose pretreatment before operation. The levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG), C-peptide, fasting insulin(FINS), IgG, IgM, IgA and total lymphocyte count (TLC) were compared before and after operation, and the sensitivity of thirst, nausea, fatigue, sweating, stomach discomfort, anxiety, hunger and dizziness were compared.
    Results: All the 168 patients were followed up. There was no significant difference in FBG, C-peptide and fins levels between the observation group and the control group (
    Conclusion: Glucose pretreatment before hip replacement can relieve insulin resistance, improve immunity and change energy storage under fasting, which can be widely used in clinic.

    Abstract Solid matter that can rapidly and reversibly switch between adhesive and non-adhesive states is desired in many technological domains including climbing robotics, actuators, wound dressings, and bioelectronics due to the ability for on-demand attachment and detachment. For most types of smart adhesive materials, however, reversible switching occurs only at narrow scales (nanoscale or microscale), which limits the realization of interchangeable surfaces with distinct adhesive states. Here, we report the design of a switchable adhesive hydrogel via dynamic multiscale contact synergy, termed as DMCS-hydrogel. The hydrogel rapidly switches between slippery (friction ~0.04 N/cm

    Abstract Despite the fact that synthetic adhesives have achieved great progress, achieving robust dry/wet adhesion under harsh operating environments is still challenging. Herein, inspired from the extraordinary adhesion mechanism of nature mussel protein adhesive, the balanced design concept of co-adhesion and interfacial adhesion is proposed to prepare one kind of novel copolymer adhesive of [poly(dopamine methacrylamide-co-methoxethyl acrylate-co-adamantane-1-carboxylic acid 2-(2-methyl-acryloyloxy)-ethyl ester)] [p(DMA-co-MEA-co-AD)], named as super-robust adhesive (SRAD). The SRAD exhibits ultra-high interface bonding strengths in air (∼7.66 MPa) and underwater (∼2.78 MPa) against an iron substrate. Especially, a greatly tough and stable adhesion strength (∼2.11 MPa) can be achieved after immersing the bonded sample in water for half a year. Furthermore, the SRAD demonstrates surprising wet bonding robustness/tolerance even encountering harsh conditions such as fluid shearing, dynamic loading, and cyclic mechanical fretting. The great advantages of SRAD, such as strong interface bonding, stable wet adhesion underwater, and good mechanical tolerance, makes it demonstrate huge application potential in engineering sealants and underwater adhesion.

    Abstract In nearly all cases of underwater adhesion, water molecules typically act as a destroyer. Thus, removing interfacial water from the substrate surfaces is essential for forming super-strong underwater adhesion. However, current methods mainly rely on physical means to dislodge interfacial water, such as absorption, hydrophobic repulsion, or extrusion, which are inefficient in removing obstinate hydrated water at contact interface, resulting in poor adhesion. Herein, we present a unique means of reversing the role of water to assist in realizing a self-strengthening liquid underwater adhesive (SLU-adhesive) that can effectively remove water at contact interface. This is achieved through multiscale physical-chemical coupling methods across millimeter to molecular levels and self-adaptive strengthening of the cohesion during underwater operations. As a result, strong adhesion over 1,600 kPa (compared to ~100 to 1,000 kPa in current state of the art) can be achieved on various materials, including inorganic metal and organic plastic materials, without preloading in different environments such as pure water, a wide range of pH solutions (pH = 3 to 11), and seawater. Intriguingly, SLU-adhesive/photothermal nanoparticles (carbon nanotubes) hybrid materials can significantly reduce the time required for complete curing from 24 h to 40 min using near-infrared laser radiation due to unique thermal-response of the chemical reaction rate. The excellent adhesion property and self-adaptive adhesion procedure allow SLU-adhesive materials to demonstrate great potential for broad applications in underwater sand stabilization, underwater repair, and even adhesion failure detection as a self-reporting adhesive. This concept of "water helper" has potential to advance underwater adhesion and manufacturing strategies.

    Abstract Eimeria necatrix is a high pathogenic pathogen, which seriously endangers the poultry industry. The surface antigens (SAGs) of Apicomplexa are a kind of membrane protein anchored on the surface of the parasites through its carboxyl terminal glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) structure. However, little is known about GPI-linked surface proteins in E. necatrix. In the present work, the E. necatrix sag gene (Ensag

    Abstract We formulate a strong-coupling theory for perpendicular standing spin waves (PSSWs) in ferromagnetic bilayers with the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC). Employing the Hoffmann boundary condition and the energy-flow continuity across the interface, we show that the PSSWs are still quantized but with non-integral quantum numbers, in sharp contrast to that of a single layer. The magnon-magnon coupling is characterized by the spectrum splitting which is linear with the IEC in the weak-coupling region, but getting saturated in the strong-coupling limit. Analytical predictions are verified by full micromagnetic simulations with good agreement.
