LaFeO3/NiO modified g-C3N4 nanosheets (L-N/CNS) were synthesized by a two-step method. HRTEM results showed that an intimate contact between LaFeO3, NiO and N-CNS was successfully established. Ninety percent of phenol was degraded within 120 min, and the hydrogen evolution rate of 171.2 μmol h -1 g -1 was obtained over the L-N/CNS heterojunctions under the visible-light irradiation. It was higher than that of g-C3N4 nanosheets, NiO modified g-C3N4 and LaFeO3/g-C3N4. The ·O2 - radicals acted the crucial role in the photocatalytic degradation reaction. EIS, PL and time-resolved fluorescence spectra demonstrated that L-N/CNS possessed the highest charge separation efficiency. The intimate contact between LaFeO3, NiO and g-C3N4 nanosheets promoted the separation and transfer of photo-induced electron–hole pairs and consequently prolonged the exciton lifetime, and implied more photo-induced electrons could be probably involved in the photocatalytic reactions on the surface of photocatalysts. Thus, the visible-light driven photocatalytic performances of L-N/CNS were effective. This work provided a feasible method to design and construct heterostructures for the exploitation of solar energy.

A real-time digital time-stamp sorting algorithm used in the In-Beam positron emission tomography (In-Beam PET) is presented. The algorithm is operated in the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a small amount of registers, MUX and memory cells are used. It is developed for sorting the data of annihilation event from front-end circuits, so as to identify the coincidence events efficiently in a large amount of data. In the In-Beam PET, each annihilation event is detected by the detector array and digitized by the analog to digital converter (ADC) in Data Acquisition Unit (DAQU), with a resolution of 14 bits and sampling rate of 50 MS/s. Test and preliminary operation have been implemented, it can perform a sorting operation under the event count rate up to 1 MHz per channel, and support four channels in total, count rate up to 4 MHz. The performance of this algorithm has been verified by pulse generator and ²²Na radiation source, which can sort the events with chaotic order into chronological order completely. The application of this algorithm provides not only an efficient solution for selection of coincidence events, but also a design of electronic circuit with a small-scale structure.

Ke Yang,Xin Lyu,Juejing Fang,Shuai Liu,Zhen Wei,Wenjie Liu 대한토목학회 2022 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.26 No.3

A weak intercalated layer has gradually become the key problem in roadway surrounding rock control in deep rock stress environment, and the selection of anchorage angle has a great influence on the stability of the intercalated rock. This study aimed to prepare weak intercalated layer-composited specimens with different dip angles and anchorage angles for the uniaxial compression test. The results showed that the strength curve of the composite specimens exhibited a single-peak variation trend of first decreasing and then increasing from 0° to 90° inclination variation, and the strength and strain reached the lowest value at 60° inclination angle. The failure modes of composite specimens with different dip angles could be divided into single splitting failure, coupled shear failure, and single shear failure. The initial strength of the unanchored specimen was basically the same as that of the anchored specimen, and with the increase in anchorage angle, the uniaxial strength first increased and then decreased. The appropriate anchorage angle range was 0° to 30°. Mainly slip deformation of the specimen occurred when the anchorage angle was smaller than 30°, and the deformation of the specimen mainly depended on the material of the bolt when the anchorage angle was larger than 30°. The strength variation model of the composite anchorage specimen was proposed, taking into account the stress of the bolt, the influence of the dip angle of the intercalated layer, and the anchorage angle of the structural plane.

Ke-Cheng Yang,Li-Hui Xu,Hong Pan,Li-Ming Wang,Yong Shen,Ying Ding 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2020 NANO Vol.15 No.03

In this study, CuS/SiO2 composite modified aerogel was prepared by the incorporation of hollow spherical CuS into methyltrimethoxysilane-based SiO2 sol and modification with hexadeca-fluorodecyltriethoxysilane via acid-base catalyzed sol–gel reaction and drying under ambient pressure. The CuS/SiO2 composite modified aerogel was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry, scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen gas adsorption and desorption and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The effects of CuS and fluorosilane concentration on density and porosity of aerogel, oleophobic and photocatalytic properties were evaluated. The results showed that structure and physical properties of aerogel had some effect by introducing CuS and fluorosilane, and the CuS/SiO2 composite modified aerogel with density of 0.146 g/cm3 and specific surface area of 241 m2/g achieved super-oleophobicity with oil contact angle of 152.8fl and sliding angle of 10fl, and good photocatalytic properties for methylene blue.

Friendship Influence on Mobile Behavior of Location Based Social Network Users

Yang Song,Zheng Hu,Xiaoming Leng,Hui Tian,Kun Yang,Xin Ke 한국통신학회 2015 Journal of communications and networks Vol.17 No.2

In mobile computing research area, it is highly desirable to understand the characteristics of user movement so that the user friendly location aware services could be rendered effectively. Location based social networks (LBSNs) have flourished recently and are of great potential for movement behavior exploration and datadriven application design. While there have been some efforts on user check-in movement behavior in LBSNs, they lack comprehensive analysis of social influence on them. To this end, the socialspatial influence and social-temporal influence are analyzed synthetically in this paper based on the related information exposed in LBSNs. The check-in movement behaviors of users are found to be affected by their social friendships both from spatial and temporal dimensions. Furthermore, a probabilistic model of user mobile behavior is proposed, incorporating the comprehensive social influence model with extent personal preference model. The experimental results validate that our proposed model can improve prediction accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art social historical model considering temporal information (SHM+T), which mainly studies the temporal cyclic patterns and uses them to model user mobility, while being with affordable complexity.

Alectinib (CH5424802) antagonizes ABCB1- and ABCG2-mediated multidrug resistance in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo

Ke Yang,Yifan Chen,Kenneth Kin Wah To,Fang Wang,Delan Li,Likun Chen,Liwu Fu 생화학분자생물학회 2017 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.49 No.-

Alectinib, an inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we investigated the reversal effect of alectinib on multidrug resistance (MDR) induced by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which is the primary cause of chemotherapy failure. We provide the first evidence that alectinib increases the sensitivity of ABCB1- and ABCG2-overexpressing cells to chemotherapeutic agents in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, alectinib increased the intracellular accumulation of ABCB1/ABCG2 substrates such as doxorubicin (DOX) and Rhodamine 123 (Rho 123) by inhibiting the efflux function of the transporters in ABCB1- or ABCG2-overexpressing cells but not in their parental sensitive cells. Furthermore, alectinib stimulated ATPase activity and competed with substrates of ABCB1 or ABCG2 and competed with [125I] iodoarylazidoprazosin (IAAP) photolabeling bound to ABCB1 or ABCG2 but neither altered the expression and localization of ABCB1 or ABCG2 nor the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK. Alectinib also enhanced the cytotoxicity of DOX and the intracellular accumulation of Rho 123 in ABCB1-overexpressing primary leukemia cells. These findings suggest that alectinib combined with traditional chemotherapy may be beneficial to patients with ABCB1- or ABCG2-mediated MDR.

Nuclide assignment for an isolated band observed in the 10B + 114Cd reaction

Yang Qing-Yu,Song Li-Na,Ma Ying-Jun,Yang Dong,Ma Ke-Yan,Wu Xiao-Guang,Zheng Yun,Li Cong-Bo 한국물리학회 2021 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.79 No.3

Three experiments based on the nuclear reactions 14N + 110Pd, 10B + 114Cd and 11B + 114Cd were performed. Coincidences between γ-rays emitted from these reactions were measured with the same detection array which consisted of 14 HPGe detectors. A new band structure was identified using an offline analysis of coincidence data. Because of the isomeric nature of the bandhead, the new band cannot be connected to any known state in any residual nuclei of the used reactions. To assign it to a specific nucleus, we evaluated the experimental population intensities of various known bands in known residual nuclei and investigated the entrance channel effects in the three different experiments. The population intensity patterns of the known bands were observed to exhibit regular systematics. Based on such experimental systematics, we suggest that the most reasonable nuclide assignment for the new band is the 120I nucleus.

Extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Explore Customer’s Behavioral Intention to Use Self-Service Technologies (SSTs) in Chinese Budget Hotels

Ke Yang,Jeong-Gil Choi,Jellna Chung People&Global Business Association 2021 Global Business and Finance Review Vol.26 No.1

Purpose: With the development and increasing adoption of the Internet in the early 21st century, SSTs (Self-Service Technologies) rapidly permeated all aspects of life. Many service providers in China are adopting a wide range of SSTs. This is mainly because they think SSTs improve customer service, increase productivity, and reduce costs. Problem is how potential customers perceive the SSTs and behave. Design/methodology/approach: This study hypotheses that the original TAM and extended TAM would not apply to customers using SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. All the relationships among variables on these models were tested by using a Structural Equation Model (SEM). Findings: Results proved that all of the relationships on the original TAM do apply to customers using SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. However, the extended TAM does not fit into this particular market. Research limitations/implications: This study examined the TAM with perceived risk and perceived playfulness to determine the factors influencing customers’ behavioral intention to use SSTs in budget hotels. This approach is likely to ensure a stable theory development. Hence, the proposed model makes an important contribution to the emerging literature on SSTs. Moreover, this study originally hypothesized perceived risk affected on customers’ satisfaction and behavioral intention to use SSTs in Chinese budget hotels. But it is rejected. Originality/value: This study offers empirical evidence and makes contribution to future research related to further developing an understanding of the relationship between perceived risk and SSTs adoption.
