A complex reinforced polymer interposer comprised with conductive Nicylinders, ordered Ni grid and SiC nano-whiskers/Polyimide (PI)composite was proposed. The conductive Ni cylinders distributing in themiddle of each Ni grid unite designed as the supporting structure wereused as electric connecting component for the interposer and wereinsulated by the SiC nano-whiskers/PI composite. The comprehensiveproperties of the complex reinforced polymer interposer were improvedby a complex reinforced mechanism: the improved thermal conductivityand mechanical strength by the Ni supporting structure and the reducedmetal/polymer interfacial mismatch due to the SiC nano-whiskers/PIcomposite with the optimized mixture ratio. The above complexreinforced polymer interposer and a traditional reinforced polymerinterposer only with Ni grid were fabricated using micro-machiningtechnology for comparative analysis. The comprehensive properties ofthese two polymer interposers were analyzed respectively. Comparedwith the traditional design, the comprehensive properties of the proposedcomplex reinforced polymer interposer were improved further, such as,21.3% increase for the Young modulus, 10.1% decrease for thecoefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and 54.9% increase for thethermal conductivity. Such complex reinforced mechanism based on themetal ordered grid and random nano-whiskers has potential to expandthe applications of the polymer interposer.

Dragon bamboo (Dendrocalamus giganteus) is a giant sympodial bamboo species widely distributed in Asia. However, it remains unclear how dragon bamboo and soil microbes interact to affect soil properties. In this study, we investigated the planting patterns (semi-natural and artificial) on different slopes (sunny and shady) to determine the effects on soil properties and microbial community. The results showed that the soil in which dragon bamboo was grown was acidic, with a pH value of ~5. Also, the soil organic matter content, nitrogen hydrolysate concentration, total nitrogen, available potassium, and total potassium of the dragon bamboo seminatural forest significantly improved, especially on the sunny slope. In contrast, the available phosphorus level was higher in the artificial bamboo forest, probably owing to the phosphate fertilizer application. The bacterial and fungal diversity and the bacterial abundance were all higher on the sunny slope of the semi-natural forest than those in the other samples. The microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) shared between the shady and sunny slopes accounted for 47.8–62.2%, but the core OTUs of all samples were only 24.4– 30.4% of each sample, suggesting that the slope type had a significant effect on the microbial community. Some acidophilic microbes, such as Acidobacteria groups, Streptomyces and Mortierella, became dominant in dragon bamboo forest soil. A PICRUSt analysis of the bacterial functional groups revealed that post-translational modification, cell division, and coenzyme transport and metabolism were abundant in the semi-natural forest. However, some microorganisms with strong stress resistance might be activated in the artificial forest. Taken together, these results illustrated the influence of dragon bamboo growth on soil physicochemical property and microbial community, which might help understand the growth status of dragon bamboo under different planting patterns.

Yibo Li,Xuezheng Zhuang,Yanmei Liu 보안공학연구지원센터(IJSIP) 2014 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.7 No.6

Based on the problems that target appears rotation and noise interference in complex environment, an improved multi-feature adaptive fusion tracking method is proposed. The algorithm adopts unscented Kalman particle filter (UPF) to update the measurement information in the sample particles, better overcome the problem of the particle weight degradation. In addition, in order to overcome the defects of additive and multiplicative fusion algorithm in the feature selection, the multiple adaptive fusion characteristics method that target color distribution and scale invariance feature (SIFT) are used as complementary information. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional methods which are based on fixed weight or standard particle filter.

Yanmei Feng,Zhiqiang Wang,Yunfeng Yang,Xiang-Feng Wu,Xiaodong Gong,Yajian Liu,Yufei Li,Zuo-Lin Cao,Chao Wang,Xin Tong 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2018 NANO Vol.13 No.7

The Ag2SO3/NaNbO3 hybrids have been fabricated via a facile method at room temperature. Several methods such as X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of the samples was assessed by degradation of rhodamine B and methyl orange under the visible light illumination. Experimental results indicated the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the as-fabricated hybrids was first increased and then decreased with increasing the dosage of NaNbO3. When the molar ratio of Ag2SO3 to NaNbO3 was 1:0.7, the as-fabricated composites had the best photodegradation efficiency of 96.4% in 30 min for rhodamine B and 97.1% in 60 min for methyl orange, respectively. These were obviously higher than that of pure samples. Furthermore, Ag2SO3 was conjugated with NaNbO3 via chemical-bonds rather than physical contact. In addition, the possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism was also provided and the main roles during the process of photocatalytic degradation were played by holes.

Yanmei Jia,Hongwu Jiang,Yan Wang,Zhimei Liu,Peng Liang 한국섬유공학회 2022 Fibers and polymers Vol.23 No.10

The integration of agricultural by-products and natural fibers is increasingly welcomed for sustainablemanufacturing of functional textiles. This study presents a facile strategy for fabricating bio-based coloristic and ultraviolet(UV) protective cellulosic fabric pre-cationized with a chitosan derivative - hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloridechitosan (HACC) followed by simultaneous coloration and finishing using chestnut shell extract (CSE). Results revealed thatHACC significantly enhanced the CSE adsorption quantity on cellulose fibers due to the increased number of cationicbinding sites. Both cotton and viscose showed a good building up property indicating their potential for dark shade dyeing. Cotton displayed higher CSE adsorption improvement than viscose due to the higher adsorption quantity of HACC duringpre-cationization. The washing and rubbing fastness was rated as mediate to high level, which was contributed by theelectrostatic interactions between the cationized cellulose fiber and anionic CSE. Importantly, the ultraviolet protective factor(UPF) of treated cellulosic reached over 40 and well retained over 70 % after 10 repeated washings. In summary, thefabrication strategy for coloristic and functional cellulosic fabrics using two natural products introduced in this research,contributes to sustainable manufacturing of textile.

Attenuating Sevoflurane-induced Cellular Injury of Human Peripheral Lymphocytes by Propofol in a Concentration-dependent Manner

Yanmei Zhou,Yue Li,Shujie Liu,Enyou Li 대한약학회 2011 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.34 No.9

Sevoflurane, one of the most commonly used inhalation anesthetics, induces apoptosis and oxidative stress in lymphocytes. Propofol, an intravenous anesthetic, exhibits antiapoptotic and antioxidative activities. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether propofol attenuates sevoflurane-induced cellular injury in human peripheral lymphocytes. Lymphocytes harvested from healthy volunteers were assigned to treatments with different concentrations of propofol, or 8% sevoflurane, or their combination. Propofol at concentrations of 5, 10 or 25 μg/mL had little effect, but 50 μg/mL propofol or 8% sevoflurane significantly reduced cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and increased cell apoptosis, activation of caspase-3 and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species, compared with untreated cells. Five and ten μg/mL propofol attenuated the impact of sevoflurane on cell viability, apoptosis and ΔΨm, and 5, 10 and 25 μg/mL propofol inhibited the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species stimulated by sevoflurane. However, a combination of 50 μg/mL propofol and 8% sevoflurane led to more severe cellular injury than sevoflurane alone. The results suggest that propofol can attenuate sevoflurane-induced cellular injury of human peripheral lymphocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, providing a rational for the clinical use of sevoflurane combined with appropriate doses of propofol.

Study of Hybrid DNA Physical Mapping Based on Approximation Algorithm with Errors

Zhenglong Liu,Yanmei Yang,Yujun Luo,Hongping Wang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Hybrid Information Techno Vol.8 No.2

A human chromosome is a DNA molecule with approximately 108 base pairs. The techniques developed to date for sequencing are restricted to pieces of DNA with up to tens of thousands of base pairs. This means that when a piece is sequenced, only an extremely small part of a chromosome can be seen. Molecular biologists use special techniques to deal with DNA molecules comparable in size to a chromosome. These techniques enable them to create maps of an entire chromosome or of significant fractions of chromosomes. Computational techniques were studied that could potentially aid biologists in the map-generation process. An algorithm that solves the consecutive 1s problem was studied. Such a problem is a good model of hybridization mapping when there are no errors and when probes are unique. If errors are present, another approach is needed, and the approximation algorithm is a prospective problem solver for hybridization physical mapping of DNA with errors.

Yuan Liu,Yanmei Liao,Yintao Long,Yuxiang Qian,Shengqiang Nie,Yi Wang,Jia Zeng,Chunmei Zhang,Linbo Tian,Jun Luo 한국고분자학회 2022 폴리머 Vol.46 No.3

It is a considerable challenge for expanding the applications of self-healing polyurethane because of the dilemma in balancing its mechanical and self-healing properties. Herein, a series of self-healing polyurethane systems (PUT-x) with short-range ordered rigid aromatic structures were synthesized by simply adjusting two kinds of diisocyanates, and by ingenious addition of aromatic chain extender. We hope to regulate the π-π interactions and further to manipulate the properties of obtained polyurethanes via adjusting the amount of the benzene rings in the molecular chains of the PUT-x systems. The PUT-5 with decent self-healing ability, optimal mechanical properties, acceptable thermal stability and favorable transparency was selected to incorporate liquid metal and fluorescent powder to fabricate conductive wire and anti-counterfeiting film. Significantly, the liquid metal could be recycled from the conductive wire conveniently without using strong acids or strong bases. Moreover, PUT-5 exemplarily withstood long-term soaking in normal saline, and no deformation could be identified.

Cracking of a prefabricated steel truss-concrete composite beam with pre-embedded shear studs under hogging moment

Yinhui Wang,Yanmei Gao,Zhixiang Zhou,Dong Liu 국제구조공학회 2016 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.21 No.5

To avoid the cracks of cast-in-place concrete in shear pockets and seams in the traditional composite beam with precast decks, this paper proposed a new type of prefabricated steel truss-concrete composite beam (ab. PSTC beam) with pre-embedded shear studs (ab. PSS connector). To study the initial cracking load of concrete deck, the development and distribution laws of the cracks, 3 PSTC beams were tested under hogging moment. And the crack behavior of the deck was compared with traditional precast composite beam, which was assembled by shear pockets and cast-in-place joints. Results show that: (i) the initial crack appears on the deck, thus avoid the appearance of the cracks in the traditional shear pockets; (ii) the crack of the seam appears later than that of the deck, which verifies the reliability of epoxy cement mortar seam, thus solves the complex structure and easily crack behavior of the traditional cast-in-place joints; (iii) the development and the distribution laws of the cracks in PSTC beam are different from the conventional composite beam. Therefore, in the deduction of crack calculation theory, all the above factors should be considered.

Yilin Tong,Yanmei Zhu,Yan Zhao,Zexing Shan,Dong Liu,Jianjun Zhang 대한암학회 2021 Cancer Research and Treatment Vol.53 No.1

Purpose Tumor regression grade (TRG) has been widely used in gastrointestinal carcinoma to assess pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). There are various standards without a consensus, and it is still unclear which kind of system has better predictive value. This study aims to investigate and compare the predictive ability of the Mandard and Becker TRGs in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods A total of 290 patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent NCT and curative surgery were studied. Survival analysis for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were based on the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards method. Predictive values of TRGs and models were assessed by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), nomogram, and calibration curve. Results In multivariable analysis, the Mandard TRG was associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.806; p=0.026) and DFS (HR, 1.792; p=0.017). The Becker TRG was also related to OS (HR, 1.880; p=0.014) and DFS (HR, 1.919; p=0.006). The Mandard and Becker TRG AUCs for 5-year survival were 0.72 and 0.71, respectively. The whole models showed an increased predictive value, with AUCs of 0.85 and 0.86, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two TRGs and two models. Conclusion TRG was an independent predictor for survival, and there was no significant difference between these two systems.
