    Abstract On-time monitoring and condition assessments of steel cables provide mission-critical data for informed decision making, ensuring the structural safety of post-tensioned concrete structures. This study aimed to develop a spiral deployment scheme of distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) and to monitor/assess the post-tensioned force in seven-wire twisted steel cables, based on the pulse-pre-pump Brillouin optical time domain analysis. Each DFOS was placed in a spiral shape between two surface wires of a steel cable and glued to the steel cable by epoxy. Image observations were conducted to investigate the entireness and bonding condition between the optical fiber and the steel wires. Eight concrete bar specimens were cast, each with a pre-embedded plastic or metal duct at its center and each was post-tensioned by a steel strand through the duct once they were instrumented with two strain and two temperature sensors. The strand was loaded/unloaded and monitored by measuring the Brillouin frequency shifts and correlating them with the applied strains and the resulting cable force after temperature compensation. The maximum, minimum, and average cable forces integrated from the measured stain data were compared and validated with those from a load cell. The maximum (or average) cable force was linearly related to the ground truth data with a less than 10% error between them, after any initial slack had been removed from the test setup. The post-tensioned force loss was bounded by approximately 30%, using the test setup designed in this study.

    Abstract Laboratory determination of trihalomethanes (THMs) is a very time-consuming task. Therefore, establishing a THMs model using easily obtainable water quality parameters would be very helpful. This study explored the modeling methods of the random forest regression (RFR) model, support vector regression (SVR) model, and Log-linear regression model to predict the concentration of total-trihalomethanes (T-THMs), bromodichloromethane (BDCM), and dibromochloromethane (DBCM), using nine water quality parameters as input variables. The models were developed and tested using a dataset of 175 samples collected from a water treatment plant. The results showed that the RFR model, with the optimal parameter combination, outperformed the Log-linear regression model in predicting the concentration of T-THMs (N

    Abstract Mislabeling the geographical origin of coffee is a prevalent form of fraud. In this study, a rapid, nondestructive, and high-throughput method combining mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and intelligence algorithms to classify coffee origin was developed. Specifically, volatile compounds in coffee aroma were detected using self-aspiration corona discharge ionization mass spectrometry (SACDI-MS), and the acquired MS data were processed using a customized deep learning algorithm to perform origin authentication automatically. To facilitate high-throughput analysis, an air curtain sampling device was designed and coupled with SACDI-MS to prevent volatile mixing and signal overlap. An accuracy of 99.78% was achieved in the classification of coffee samples from six origins at a throughput of 1 s per sample. The proposed approach may be effective in preventing coffee fraud owing to its straightforward operation, rapidity, and high accuracy and thus benefit consumers.

    Abstract Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a pathological event that results in reperfusion due to low blood flow to an organ. Cerebral ischemia is a common cerebrovascular disease with high mortality, and reperfusion is the current standard intervention. However, reperfusion may further induce cellular damage and dysfunction known as cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI). Currently, strategies for the clinical management of CIRI are limited, necessitating the exploration of novel and efficacious treatment modalities for the benefit of patients. PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is an important cellular process associated with the disease. Stimulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway enhances I/R injury in multiple organs such as heart, brain, lung, and liver. It stands as a pivotal signaling pathway crucial for diminishing cerebral infarction size and safeguarding the functionality of brain tissue after CIRI. During CIRI, activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway exhibits a protective effect on CIRI. Furthermore, activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway has the potential to augment the activity of antioxidant enzymes, resulting in a decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the associated oxidative stress. Meanwhile, PI3K/Akt plays a neuroprotective role by inhibiting inflammatory responses and apoptosis. For example, PI3K/Akt interacts with NF-κB, Nrf2, and MAPK signaling pathways to mitigate CIRI. This article is aimed to explore the pivotal role and underlying mechanism of PI3K/Akt in ameliorating CIRI and investigate the influence of ischemic preconditioning and post-processing, as well as the impact of pertinent drugs or activators targeting the PI3K/Akt pathway on CIRI. The primary objective is to furnish compelling evidence supporting the activation of PI3K/Akt in the context of CIRI, elucidating its mechanistic intricacies. By doing so, the paper aims to underscore the critical contribution of PI3K/Akt in mitigating CIRI, providing a theoretical foundation for considering the PI3K/Akt pathway as a viable target for CIRI treatment.

    Abstract The operation and performance of electrospray ionization (ESI) is affected by the surrounding environment. In this study, a compact sub-atmospheric pressure ESI (SAP-ESI) source was designed and fabricated using the 3D printing method. This source has a simple structure and is easy to operate, as the sample solution and auxiliary gas are continuously sucked into the source through the pressure difference. The compact and enclosed ionization chamber can reduce the fluctuation of the surrounding gas flow to ensure a remarkably stable (< 3%) electrospray. Moreover, the source can offer variable SAP conditions for ESI analysis. The yield of analyte ions increases with decreasing pressure, while the production of background ions is suppressed under these conditions. In the analysis of protein samples, SAP-ESI can increase the yield and charge state of ions, which may be due to the reduction of proton transfer between charged proteins and surrounding gas. The SAP-ESI source was then used to continuously monitor the extract aqueous solution of tea leaves, and to detect the carbendazim residues on the apple surface by coupling with the liquid extraction surface analysis technique. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed SAP-ESI is a stable, practical, and versatile ionization technique.

    Abstract To investigate the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the serum and their effects on organ function in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) during infected stage, aiming to provide a reference to individual treatment. 32 patients with SAP during infected stage admitted to the Digestive Department of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2014 to May 2015 and also 30 volunteer normal people were recruited in this study. And 26 patients detected with positive pathogenic bacteria were grouped into group A and another 6 patients with negative pathogenic bacteria into group B and 30 normal people into group C. And TNF-α and PCT level in the serum and the liver, kidney and lung function and the relationship between them of all the included people were compared and analyzed. the serum TNF-α level detected in the bile, urine and the surface of wound in group A was much higher than that in group B (P<0.05); and there was no significant difference in PCT between group A and group B; and TNF-α and PCT level in the serum in group A and group B were remarkably higher than group C (P<0.05). In addition, the organ function (the liver, kidney and lung) in the patients with high TNF-α level (High TNF-α group) was significantly different from the patients with low TNF-α level (Low TNF-α group) (P<0.05). And various organ functional indexes increased significantly in the patients with high PCT level (P<0.05). There were two kinds of TNF-α level (high level and low level) in the patients during SAP general infection stage, and the high level may reduce various organ function, the low level can contribute to the regular inflammatory response. And there is a high PCT level in the early SAP infection stage, which can be used to predict the patients' condition.

    Abstract As a simple soft ionization method, photoionization (PI) is often coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for the direct analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). PI enables selective ionization of analytes, but the ion yield is generally not high due to the limited light intensity of the ultraviolet lamp. Here, a hydrogen-assisted photoionization (HAPI) strategy was developed and integrated into a miniature ion trap mass spectrometer. In particular, hydrogen was introduced as a versatile buffer gas to facilitate both photoionization and ion trap operation. This can increase the ion yields by up to 2 orders of magnitude compared to conventional PI-MS, with a low hydrogen consumption (less than 100 μL) for each analysis. The generation of protonated ions indicates a specific photochemical process in HAPI, which has also been studied and initially revealed. The detection of various VOCs and plant volatile gases confirmed the versatility and practicality of the HAPI technology.

    Abstract Far-field laser technology has greatly promoted the progress of nondestructive ultrasonic imaging of bulk structures. However, under thermoelastic excitation, the body waves exhibit a relatively low signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in images with low resolution and contrast. Based on the motivation, this paper developed a frequency-domain phase weighted imaging method to improve the quality of laser ultrasonic defect imaging. Firstly, laser ultrasonic scanning was performed on the sample with artificial transverse hole defects. The cylindrical lens focused line source was used to improve the intensity of the body wave signals, and ensure that there was no damage on the material surface under high laser energies. Then, the frequency-domain phase shift migration (PSM) algorithm was used to perform multimode imaging of defects, achieving frequency-domain synthetic aperture focusing technique (F-SAFT) and total focused method (F-TFM) imaging based on full matrix capture. Furthermore, the phase circular statistical vector (PCSV) was proposed for weighted optimization, which improved the image quality, suppressed the background noise and multimode artifacts. Finally, the imaging quality of several algorithms were discussed. The results indicate that frequency-domain images were superior to time-domain results. After phase weighting, the imaging quality can be further improved, and the detection blind zone was significantly reduced. This work will contribute to the rapid and high-quality defect imaging of laser ultrasonic.
