Spinal cord injury triggers an initial inflammatory response followed by scar tissue formation, hindering the repair of severed neural tracts and sensorimotor function.1 Injectable hydrogels consisting of a water-swollen polymer network can be engineered to mimic the environment of ... Read More
Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... Read More
The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) represents an innovative and energy-efficient approach to directional drilling (Rajabi et al. 2009; Belarde and Vestavik 2011; Breivik et al. 2020). RDM has been particularly successful in enhancing MPD and ERD. The technology enables constant well ... Read More
Fire resistance tests of building elements are essential for evaluating their ability to withstand fire exposure and prevent fire spread. Fire resistance tests are expensive and usually take months to organize. If the same structure is retested at the same lab, the systems are so complex ... Read More
Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... Read More
Urban road tunnels offer a promising solution to extend existing road infrastructure while mitigating air pollution and nuisances affecting nearby residential areas. By diverting traffic underground, valuable surface space becomes available to address other urban challenges. However, ... Read More
The mechanism of plasmonic photocatalytic systems is still debated as the two major mechanistic pathways, i.e., near-electric field and hot electron transfer for semiconductor photocatalytic systems coupled with small size (dia. < 25 nm) plasmon nanoparticles, are specific to the ... Read More
本研究成功开发出一种多级梯度结构的OMI纤维膜，其特点包括由外至内纤维直径逐层递减、每层具有双峰纤维直径分布、以及有机-无机复合功能化策略。这种独特结构实现了低压阻下的高效空气过滤，并确保了长期热稳定性。该OMI纤维膜对PM0.3、PM1.0和PM2.5的过滤效率分别达到99.98%、99.99%和100%，且压阻仅为65 Pa。此外，针对压力场和颗粒过滤行为的CFD模拟结果与实验趋势一致。在250 °C热处理12小时后，该OMI纤维膜仍保持94.68%的PM0.3过滤效率和62 Pa的压阻。本研究证明了OMI纳米纤维膜在250 °C下的基础热稳定性与过滤潜力 ... Read More
锂离子电池在便携式电子设备领域占据主导地位，并显著推动了电动汽车的商业化进程。当前全球研发重点集中于开发具有高能量密度、快速充放电能力、高功率输出、低成本及高安全性的电池系统。在材料选择中，机械强度的耐久性与长周期循环的结构完整性成为关键评价指标。锂离子电池内部存在显著的电化学-力学耦合行为，表现为大变形、塑性流动、裂纹扩展与疲劳等现象，进而引起电极剥离、孔隙闭合以及副反应加速等多种失效模式。其中，正极颗粒的破裂等力学-电化学退化机制是限制锂离子电池性能的主要因素之一，因此深入研究正极材料在多场耦合条件下的响应机制，对实现下一代高能量密度电池至关重要。 钴酸锂 ... Read More
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies requires finding new sources of energy. It turns out that the hydrothermal potential of the lakes would cover a significant part of these renewable energy needs. The existing Thermal Lacustrine Networks (TLNs) are efficient in summer ...
