Porous basalt aggregate is commonly used in roadbed engineering, but its application in concrete has rarely been studied. This paper studies the application of porous basalt in concrete. Porous basalt aggregate is assessed for its effects on mechanical strength and durability of prepared C50 concrete; because it has a hole structure, porous basalt aggregate is known for its porosity, and porous basalt aggregates can be made full of water through changing the content of saturated basalt; after full-water condition is achieved in porous basalt aggregate mixture of C50 concrete, we discuss its mechanical properties and durability. The effects of C50 concrete prepared with basalt aggregate on the compressive strength, water absorption, and electric flux of concrete specimens of different ages were studied through experiments, and the effects of different replacement rates of saturated porous basalt aggregate on the properties of concrete were also studied. The results show that porous basalt aggregate can be prepared as C50 concrete. For early saturated porous basalt aggregate concrete, its compressive strength decreases with the increase of the replacement rate of saturated aggregate; this occurs up to concrete curing at 28 d, when the replacement rate of saturated basalt aggregate is greater than or equal to 40 %. The compressive strength of concrete increases with the increase of the replacement rate of saturated aggregate. The 28 d electric flux decreases with the increase of the replacement rate of saturated aggregate, indicating that saturated porous basalt aggregate can improve the chloride ion permeability resistance of concrete in later stages.

Background: Insulin regulates glucose homeostasis and has important effects on metabolism, cell growth, and differentiation. Depending on the cell type and physiological context, insulin signal has specific pathways and biological outcomes in different tissues and cells. For studying the signal pathway of insulin on glycolipid metabolism in porcine embryonic fibroblast (PEF), we used high-throughput sequencing to monitor gene expression patterns regulated by insulin. Objectives: The goal of our research was to see how insulin affected glucose and lipid metabolism in PEFs. Methods: We cultured the PEFs with the addition of insulin and sampled them at 0, 48, and 72 h for RNA-Seq analysis in triplicate for each time point. Results: At 48 and 72 h, 801 and 1,176 genes were differentially expressed, respectively. Of these, 272 up-regulated genes and 264 down-regulated genes were common to both time points. Gene Ontology analysis was used to annotate the functions of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the biological processes related to lipid metabolism and cell cycle were dominant. And the DEGs were significantly enriched in interleukin-17 signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-protein kinase B signaling pathway, pyruvate metabolism, and others pathways related to lipid metabolism by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis. Conclusions: These results elucidate the transcriptomic response to insulin in PEF. The genes and pathways involved in the transcriptome mechanisms provide useful information for further research into the complicated molecular processes of insulin in PEF.

The agglomeration behaviour of Mo powder, especially fine Mo powder, has been a major concern. The degree of powderagglomeration is directly related to the uniformity of Mo and its alloy powder mixtures and related target materials. Thisstudy mainly focuses on how to efficiently reduce the soft agglomerates behaviour of Mo powder. Analysis of the micromorphologyand median particle size (D50) of modified Mo powder showed that the soft agglomerates behaviour of Mo powdercan be divided into three stages: drawing, gathering, and sticking. Modification of the Mo powder surface by the polymersurfactant PVP-K30 can effectively prevent the agglomeration of the Mo powder. Additionally, the surface hydroxyl groupsof the Mo powder disappeared, the agglomerate factor decreased from 13.02 to 5.04, and the flowability of the Mo powderwas significantly improved. This is important for improving the grain uniformity and application performance of Mo targetmaterials synthesized from Mo powder.

With the rapid development of the phosphorus chemical industry, a large amount of phosphogypsum (PG) is discharged. The impurities in PG pollute the surrounding soil, the groundwater and the air in the long-term storage. In this paper, PG as the main raw material is used to study the stable material of inorganic binder in the condition of large dosage of PG. With PG and graded gravel as stabilized materials, and cement and fly ash as binder, materials are mixed to determine the influence of PG ratio and the amount of activator on the mixture. The results show that the mechanical strength of the mixture increased first and then decreased with the increase in the proportion of PG replacing graded gravel in the mixture. The activator significantly improves the properties of the material system and makes a significant contribution to the curing of PG. The best ratio of pretreated PG: cement: fly ash: aggregate is 50:6:5:39. The amount of activator added by the external mixing method is 0.3%, which can make the unconfined compressive strength reach 4.1 MPa after 7d. Finally, water-soluble phosphorus leaching experiment is conducted for all the samples. The results show that phosphorus leaching is so little that no secondary pollution of the environment is caused.

Voids between primary support and secondary lining of existing tunnels pose a serious threat to safety and have become a key challenge for tunnel engineering. Due to the poor bonding performance between concrete slurry backfill and lining concrete, the integrity of supporting structures cannot be guaranteed. In recent years, vault grouting with formwork has proved to be effective in solving this problem. However, few studies have focused on the selection of grouting materials and associated grouting process parameters. In this paper, a slight-expanding concrete slurry is selected as the grouting material. The early strength growth trendof the slight-expanding slurry is explored via laboratory tests. The compatibility of the slight-expanding slurry and the lining concrete is analyzed by comparing the slump, expanding diameter, water retention and compressive strength. Bonding-body specimens were fabricated using a mold developed for this work. Furthermore, we compare the compressive strength and failure mode in order to investigate the bonding properties between the sight-expanding slurry and lining concrete at different grouting intervals and pressures. A reasonable set of operational parameters is subsequently proposed. Finally, field tests undertaken in an expressway tunnel in south China are performed in order to determine the impact of grouting with formwork on tunnel lining, while the grouting effect at the vault is evaluated using a ground penetrating radar. The slight-expanding slurry exhibited a high early strength and rapid hardening. Adding slight-expanding slurry to lining concrete at a volume ratio of 1:0.2 increased the slump, diameter and compressive strength by 13.4%, 15.6%, and 25.0%, respectively. When a grouting interval is less than 6 h, the pressure of grouting with formwork should be no less than 0.2 MPa, while for a grouting interval of 8 h, the grouting pressure should be no less than 0.4 MPa. The grouting pressure of 0.4 MPa exerts a limited effect on the existing secondary lining concrete, and the stress increment produced by grouting accounts for 6 − 17% of the total increment. The results presented can provide a reference for future tunnel construction.

A novel method to aging state recognition of viscoelastic sandwich structures

ZhouSuo Zhang,Jinxiu Qu,Xue Luo,Bing Li,Jinpeng Wen 국제구조공학회 2016 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.21 No.6

Viscoelastic sandwich structures (VSSs) are widely used in mechanical equipment, but in the service process, they always suffer from aging which affect the whole performance of equipment. Therefore, aging state recognition of VSSs is significant to monitor structural state and ensure the reliability of equipment. However, nonstationary vibration response signals and weak state change characteristics make this task challenging. This paper proposes a novel method for this task based on adaptive second generation wavelet packet transform (ASGWPT) and multiwavelet support vector machine (MWSVM). For obtaining sensitive feature parameters to different structural aging states, the ASGWPT, its wavelet function can adaptively match the frequency spectrum characteristics of inspected vibration response signal, is developed to process the vibration response signals for energy feature extraction. With the aim to improve the classification performance of SVM, based on the kernel method of SVM and multiwavelet theory, multiwavelet kernel functions are constructed, and then MWSVM is developed to classify the different aging states. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, different aging states of a VSS are created through the hot oxygen accelerated aging of viscoelastic material. The application results show that the proposed method can accurately and automatically recognize the different structural aging states and act as a promising approach to aging state recognition of VSSs. Furthermore, the capability of ASGWPT in processing the vibration response signals for feature extraction is validated by the comparisons with conventional second generation wavelet packet transform, and the performance of MWSVM in classifying the structural aging states is validated by the comparisons with traditional wavelet support vector machine.

Guo Wanmi,Wang Sulei,Ren Qifang,Jin Zhen,Ding Yi,Xiong Chun-Yu,Li Jinpeng,Chen Jing,Zhu Yuelei,오원춘 한국세라믹학회 2022 한국세라믹학회지 Vol.59 No.2

Mg x Zn 1−x ferrite/diatomite composites were synthesized by a two-step combination process (hydrothermal method and mechanical mixing method). The products were characterized by X-ray diff raction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV–visible absorption spectrum (UV–Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), and microwave vector network analyzer. The photocatalytic results showed that the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) was 50–90% after 90 min of visible light. At 2–18 GHz frequency, when the Mg–Zn ratio increases to 0.8, the refl ection loss of a single MgxZn 1−x ferrite reaches − 7.23 dB at 8.75 GHz frequency in 3.5 mm thickness while the ratio is 0.2, the refl ection loss at 10.23 GHz reaches − 4.07 dB. The photocatalytic performance of Mgx Zn 1−x ferrite /diatomite composite for the degradation of RhB and its microwave absorption performance as absorbent are studied. The importance of developing new functional coatings to improve human environment is discussed.
