( Xiaolin Jia ),( Yuhao Feng ),( Yajun Gu ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2020 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.14 No.4

This paper proposes a novel anti-collision protocol for large-scale RFID tags identification, named Bi-response Collision Tree Protocol (BCT). In BCT, two group of tags answer the reader’s same query in two response-cycles respectively and independently according to the bi-response pattern. BCT improves the RFID tag identification performance significantly by decreasing the query cycles and the bits transmitted by the reader and tags during the identification. Computation and simulation results indicate that BCT improves the RFID tag identification performance effectively, e.g. the tag identification speed is improved more than 13.0%, 16.9%, and 22.9% compared to that of Collision Tree Protocol (CT), M-ary Collision Tree Protocol (MCT), and Dual Prefix Probe Scheme (DPPS) respectively when tags IDs are distributed uniformly.

The glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) that is expressed in intestine epithelial cells of mammals, is important for intestinal barrier function and regulation of tight junction (TJ) proteins. However, there is little known about the intracellular mechanisms of GLP-2 in the regulation of TJ proteins in piglets' intestinal epithelial cells. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that GLP-2 regulates the expressions of TJ proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in piglets' intestinal epithelial cells. The jejunal tissues were cultured in a Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/high glucose medium containing supplemental 0 to 100 nmol/L GLP-2. At 72 h after the treatment with the appropriate concentrations of GLP-2, the mRNA and protein expressions of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), occludin and claudin-1 were increased (p<0.05). U0126, an MAPK kinase inhibitor, prevented the mRNA and protein expressions of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-1 increase induced by GLP-2 (p<0.05). In conclusion, these results indicated that GLP-2 could improve the expression of TJ proteins in weaned pigs' jejunal epithelium, and the underlying mechanism may due to the MAPK signaling pathway.

Yuxuan Chen,Quansheng Yan,Xiaolin Yu,Buyu Jia,Yu Wu,Yufan Luo 한국강구조학회 2022 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.22 No.1

Improving mechanical performance of the negative moment regions of continuous composite beams is essential for composite beam bridges. Uplift-restricted and slip-permitted (URSP) screw-shaped connectors can enhance the crack resistance of a concrete slab through free slip between the concrete slab and the steel beam. Furthermore, URSP screw-shaped connectors are more adaptable to the requirements of rapid construction than URSP T-shaped connectors. To investigate the slip and mechanical behavior of URSP screw-shaped connectors, nine push-out tests with various parameters were conducted. In these tests, the thickness of the foam sleeve wrapped outside the screw exerted a highly signifi cant eff ect on free slip performance. A refi ned 3D nonlinear fi nite element model with the foam’s constitutive model was established using ABAQUS. The stress mechanism and failure modes of the FE models were analyzed. Lastly, to estimate the slip performance of URSP screw-shaped connectors, an equation with a simple form was proposed via mechanism analysis and a regression method.

Two-Stage Cascaded High-Precision Early Warning of Wind Turbine Faults Based on Machine Learning and Data Graphization

Fu Yang,Wang Shuo,Jia Feng,Zhou Quan,Ge Xiaolin 대한전기학회 2024 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.19 No.3

Due to the limited accessibility of wind turbines (WTs) and the complexity of operation and maintenance (O&M), it is increasingly important to early warn the component faults of WTs, and the difculties lie in balancing the comprehensiveness and delicacy of early warning. In this paper, a two-stage cascaded high-precision fault early warning method based on machine learning (ML) and data graphization is proposed. The frst stage copes with the early warning of the main components, in which the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data are converted into Gramian Angular Field (GAF) images to establish the potential relationship of fault features at diferent time points, and the fault characteristics are extracted by convolutional neural network (CNN) to realize fault early warning for multiple main components simultaneously. The second stage focus on the fault subcomponents inside the main components further, in which the time generative adversarial network (TimeGAN) is adopted to enhance the fault code data samples, then the enhanced data in the form of grayscale images is input into the Vision Transformer (ViT) to train the subcomponent early warning model. The proposed method is validated with real SCADA data, the results show the efectiveness of the proposed method.

Multivalency-Driven Formation of Te-Based Monolayer Materials: A Combined First-Principles and Experimental study

Zhu, Zhili,Cai, Xiaolin,Yi, Seho,Chen, Jinglei,Dai, Yawei,Niu, Chunyao,Guo, Zhengxiao,Xie, Maohai,Liu, Feng,Cho, Jun-Hyung,Jia, Yu,Zhang, Zhenyu American Physical Society 2017 Physical Review Letters Vol.119 No.10

<P>Contemporary science is witnessing a rapid expansion of the two-dimensional (2D) materials family, each member possessing intriguing emergent properties of fundamental and practical importance. Using the particle-swarm optimization method in combination with first-principles density functional theory calculations, here we predict a new category of 2D monolayers named tellurene, composed of the metalloid element Te, with stable 1T-MoS2-like (alpha-Te), and metastable tetragonal (beta-Te) and 2H-MoS2-like (gamma-Te) structures. The underlying formation mechanism is inherently rooted in the multivalent nature of Te, with the central-layer Te behaving more metal-like (e.g., Mo), and the two outer layers more semiconductorlike (e.g., S). We also show that the alpha-Te phase can be spontaneously obtained from the magic thicknesses divisible by three layers truncated along the [ 001] direction of the trigonal structure of bulk Te, and both the alpha- and alpha-Te phases possess electron and hole mobilities much higher than MoS2. Furthermore, we present preliminary but convincing experimental evidence for the layering behavior of Te on HOPG substrates, and predict the importance of multivalency in the layering behavior of Se. These findings effectively extend the realm of 2D materials to group-VI elements.</P>

The Nature of Bonding in Bulk Tellurium Composed of One-Dimensional Helical Chains

Yi, Seho,Zhu, Zhili,Cai, Xiaolin,Jia, Yu,Cho, Jun-Hyung American Chemical Society 2018 Inorganic Chemistry Vol.57 No.9

<P>Bulk tellurium (Te) is composed of one-dimensional (1D) helical chains which have been considered to be coupled by van der Waals (vdW) interactions. However, on the basis of first-principles density functional theory calculations, we here propose a different bonding nature between neighboring chains: i.e., helical chains made of normal covalent bonds are connected together by coordinate covalent bonds. It is revealed that the lone pairs of electrons of Te atoms participate in forming coordinate covalent bonds between neighboring chains, where each Te atom behaves as both an electron donor to neighboring chains and an electron acceptor from neighboring chains. This ligand-metal-like bonding nature in bulk Te results in the same order of bulk moduli along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the chains, contrasting with the large anisotropy of bulk moduli in vdW crystals. We further find that the electron effective masses parallel and perpendicular to the chains are almost the same as each other, consistent with the observed nearly isotropic electrical resistivity. It is thus demonstrated that the normal/coordinate covalent bonds parallel/perpendicular to the chains in bulk Te lead to a minor anisotropy in structural and transport properties.</P><P>Bulk tellurium (Te) is composed of one-dimensional (1D) helical chains which have been considered to be coupled by van der Waals (vdW) interactions.

Experimental and Mechanical Behavior of Rubber-Sleeved Group Studs

Yuxuan Chen,Quansheng Yan,Buyu Jia,Xiaolin Yu,Yu Wu,Yufan Luo 대한토목학회 2022 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.26 No.9

The group studs used in precast steel-concrete composite bridges can reduce the volume of cast-in-place concrete, consequently accelerating the construction process and improving the construction quality. However, the small spacing of the studs in the group studs may result in a decrease in shear strength and ductility, and a nonuniform distribution of shear force at the root of the studs. Hence, rubber-sleeved group studs, whose studs are wrapped by a rubber sleeve at the root, are proposed to redistribute the shear force at the steel–concrete interface and improve the ductility of the shear connector. In this study, four push-out tests were conducted to demonstrate the composite mechanism of rubber-sleeved group studs. Results show that the rubber-sleeved group studs exhibit better ductility than ordinary group studs. Finite element models verified using the test results were also established for parametric analysis. The mechanism analysis shows that the concrete compression regions around stud roots are sufficiently utilized. Based on the parametric analysis, designing suggestions for rubber-sleeved group studs were provided.

A New Analytical Method for Link Slab Analysis

Yufan Luo,Quansheng Yan,Xiaogang Yue,Buyu Jia,Xiaolin Yu,Yuxuan Chen 대한토목학회 2024 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.28 No.2

Link slabs have been widely used to reduce the number of expansion joints. However, traditional reinforced concrete link slabs are prone to cracking issues, making it crucial to accurately calculate their internal forces. Currently, the most advanced link slab analysis methods treat the link slab and adjacent span as a rotational spring to simulate their restriction on the girder end rotation. However, this method does not comprehensively consider the link slab's influence, leading to conservative results. To address this issue, this study further considers the influence of girder end deformations on adjacent span, resulting in more accurate calculations of the link slab's internal forces. Additionally, the concept of the girder end rotation reduction coefficient is put forward for the first time, which provides a clearer and more quantified understanding of the link slab's influence. The proposed method is verified by a model test and a site test, which shows a significant improvement in accuracy compared to existing analytical methods. On this basis, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters on the girder end rotation reduction coefficient, which indicates that span length, girder spacing, and support configuration have the greatest influence.

Yong Feng,Haoxiang Wang,Min Zhang,Zihao Zhu,Xiaoyu Wang,Binhui Jia,Xiaolin Jia 한국정밀공학회 2020 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.21 No.5

Titanium Matrix Composites (TMCs) are widely used in aerospace because of their excellent mechanical properties, but itis accompanied by the diffi culty of machining. Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Drilling (UVAD) can eff ectively reduce theaxial force in the drilling process and improve the integrity of machined surface. In this paper, the discontinuous titaniummatrix composite TiBw/TC4 was developed by preparation method of in situ. In order to obtain the machining parameters ofTiBw/TC4 and guide the application of UVAD in TiBw/TC4, the contrast experiments between conventional drilling (CD)and UVAD were carried out to analyze the variation law of axial force. In this experiment, the frequency and amplitude ofultrasonic vibration were set as 35 kHz and 2.5 μm respectively, and the drilling conditions were that the spindle speed was(1500/1600/1700/1800/1900) r/min and the feed speed was (6/7/8/9/10) mm/min. The surface integrity of hole wall suchas roughness, residual stress and white layer was discussed. The experimental results show that the yield strength of TiBw/TC4 developed by in situ is 51% higher than that of pure TC4. Compared with CD, the axial force of TiBw/TC4 in UVADis signifi cantly reduced, and the formation of continuous chips and winding cutters is eff ectively reduced. Besides, the wearrate of the cutters is reduced. The number and size of hole wall defects, such as scratches, delamination and tearing, areobviously reduced. As well as the residual stress, white layer thickness and hole wall roughness are reduced by 4.67–16.31%,42.48% and 5.98–29.27% respectively. Within the limits of the experiment, when the spindle speed is 1700 r/min and thefeed speed is 8 mm/min, UVAD can obtain better hole wall surface integrity parameters.

Temperature is an important environmental factor that can greatly influence the cultivation of Auricularia cornea. In this study, lignin peroxidase, laccase, manganese peroxidase, and cellulose in A. cornea fruiting bodies were tested under five different temperatures (20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃, and 40℃) in three different culture periods (10 days, 20 days and 30 days). In addition, the V4 region of bacterial 16S rRNA genes in the substrate of A. cornea cultivated for 30 days at different temperatures were sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology to explore the structure and diversity of bacterial communities in the substrate. Temperature and culture days had a significant effect on the activities of the four enzymes, and changes in activity were not synchronized with changes in temperature and culture days. Overall, we obtained 487,694 sequences from 15 samples and assigned them to 16 bacterial phyla. Bacterial community composition and structure in the substrate changed when the temperature was above 35℃. The relative abundances of some bacteria were significantly affected by temperature. A total of 35 genera at five temperatures in the substrate were correlated, and 41 functional pathways were predicted in the study. Bacterial genes associated with the membrane transport pathway had the highest average abundance (16.16%), and this increased at 35℃ and 40℃. Generally, different temperatures had impacts on the physiological activity of A. cornea and the bacterial community in the substrate; therefore, the data presented herein should facilitate cultivation of A. cornea.
