Xinle Min,Hongshuai Qi2,Yani Li1 KOREA INSTITUTE FOR HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES 2024 Journal of Arts and Cultural Studies(ACS) Vol.3 No.1

Background: The classical gardens of China and South Korea, rich in traditional cultural connotations, provide a respite from the emptiness and anxiety brought by modern society. This is closely tied to the involvement of scholarly hermits, who represented the learned and morally cultivated class in the ancient garden constructions of both countries. Studying the spatial characteristics of these hermitage gardens is important for modern spatial design. Purpose:This research compares representative residential hermitage gardens in China and South Korea - the Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yin Zheng Ancient Residence. It identifies the similarities and differences in their spatial features and the reasons behind these variations.It also explores the potential applications of these characteristics in contemporary spatial design. Methods: The study begins with a literature review to define the concept of hermitage gardens. It then proceeds with on-site and documentary research of the Lüdao Fang Residence Garden and the Yunjeong Gotaek, analyzing and comparing the spatial attributes of these two gardens. Results: Both gardens reflect the hermitage philosophies of "Moderate Reclusion" and "Confucian Hermitage," chosen for their locations in scenic, tranquil, and harmonious settings. However, their relationships with urban areas differ; both prioritize the creation of spaces that are secluded yet connected. Conclusion: Analyzing and comparing their reclusive cultural characteristics deepens and refines the understanding of Chinese garden art theory and hermit culture. It also provides a theoretical foundation for further exploring their revitalization and promoting creative transformation and innovative development in Eastern classical garden art.

Tensile Behavior of High-Strength Stainless Steel Wire Rope (HSSSWR)-Reinforced ECC

Xinling Wang,Guanghua Yang,Wenwen Qian,Ke Li,Juntao Zhu 한국콘크리트학회 2021 International Journal of Concrete Structures and M Vol.15 No.6

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) show the distinguished characteristics of high post-cracking resistance and ductility. High-strength stainless steel wire rope (HSSSWR) has been successfully used for restoring or strengthening of existing structures. By combining the advantages of these two materials, a new composite system formed by embedding HSSSWR into ECC was proposed and expected to be a promising engineering material for repair or strengthening of structures. To investigate the tensile failure mechanism and mechanical properties of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC, an experimental study on 27 HSSSWR-reinforced ECC plates was conducted considering the effects of the reinforcement ratio of longitudinal HSSSWRs, formula of ECC and width of the plate. Test results revealed that HSSSWR-reinforced ECC exhibit superior post-cracking resistance, deformation capacity and crack-width control capacity. Increasing the reinforcement ratio of longitudinal HSSSWRs can effectively enhance the tensile strength, crack-width control capacity, deformation capacity and tensile toughness of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC. Adding thickener in ECC can significantly improve the crack-width control capacity and deformation capacity of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC due to enhancing uniform distribution of polyvinyl alcohol fibers, but would slightly reduce the cracking stress and maximum tensile stress by bringing small bubbles in the matrix. The tensile properties of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC plates are almost not affected by varying the plate width. Besides, a tensile constitutive model was developed for charactering the stress-strain relationship of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC in tension. Based on mechanical theories and failure characteristics of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC, the model parameters were determined, and calculation equations of cracking stress and tensile strength were proposed. The accuracy of the developed model and calculation equations was verified by test results.

Xinle Zhu,Shixin Xu,Lianshou Lu,Shensen Wang,Qi Zhao,Dan Li,Jian Li,Hui Zhao,Bingen Xu 대한수의학회 2019 Journal of Veterinary Science Vol.20 No.2

We prepared a polymorphic form of valnemulin hydrogen tartrate (Form I) to overcome the instability and irritating odor of valnemulin hydrochloride that affect its use in the production and application of veterinary drugs. The physicochemical properties of Form I were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, infraredspectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed the crystal structure and thermal properties of Form I were very different from those of a commercially available form of valnemulin hydrogen tartrate (Form II). Form I and Form II were more stable than valnemulin hydrochloride after storage under irradiation and high humidity conditions, respectively. The solubility of Form I was 2.6 times that of Form II, and Form I was selected for use in pharmaceutical kinetics experiments in vivo. Compared to valnemulin hydrochloride, after oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg in pigs, Form I had similar pharmaceutical kinetic behavior but a slightly higher area under the concentration– time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration. Consequently, Form I should be suitable for the development of simple formulations and be effective in the clinical application of veterinary drugs.

Xinling Zhang,Ning Yuan,Shuo Xu,Yi Li,Qibao Wang 한국공업화학회 2022 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.111 No.-

The removal of organic pollutants was examined by new zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ZIF-8/MWCNTs-COOH) nanoadsorbents, which were preparedvia controlling the reaction sequence of MWCNTs-COOH with the precursors of ZIF-8. Structuralmorphology and chemical composition characterizations confirmed the successful preparation of ZIF-8/MWCNTs-COOH nanoadsorbents. The obtained samples manifested a preferable adsorption capacityfor Congo red with the maximum adsorption capacity of 1185.58 mg g1 with an adsorption removal rateof 97.93% at equilibrium adsorption. Further analyses indicated that the adsorption process conformed tothe pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic analyseswere depicted as endothermic, entropy-increasing, and spontaneous. The effects of pH value, interferingions, and dosage on the adsorption properties were systematically explored. The nanoadsorbent can beexpediently reused for eight cycles without a prominent reduction in adsorption activity. The improvedperformance and high reusability can be ascribed to the increasing specific surface, the presence of electrostaticinteraction, hydrogen bonding, and p–p interaction between ZIF-8/MWCNTs-COOH and organicmolecules. In addition, the prepared composites also showed a better adsorption performance for tetracyclinewith the equilibrium adsorption capacity of 471.22 mg g1 compared to pure ZIF-8 and MWCNTs-COOH.

Liu Xinling,Yang Xiaomin,Sang Weihui,Huang Hai,Li Wenwu,Lin Yen-Fu,Chu Junhao 한국정보디스플레이학회 2021 Journal of information display Vol.22 No.4

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials including metal, semiconductor, and insulator have received extensive attention in recent years. The weak van-der-Waals (vdW) interactions between 2D materials layers enable them to isolate monolayers and restack into artificial 2D vdW heterostructures in the desired sequence. These assembled all-2D vdW heterostructures are promising platforms for fabricating next-generation electronics as well as optoelectronics. In particular, the all-2D vdW heterostructure devices composed entirely of 2D layered material have received extensive attention due to their natural thickness, atomically sharp heterointerfaces, and excellent mechanical flexibility. Herein, we firstly introduce 2D vdW heterostructures and their preparation methods. Secondly, the recent progress of field-effect transistors (FETs) and photodetectors based on all-2D vdW heterostructures are summarized. Finally, we discuss some challenges of all-2D vdW heterostructure-based devices for practical applications and offer personal perspectives toward the future development of thin-film electronics.

Radiation Dose Reduction and Surgical Efficiency Improvement in Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Assisted by Intraoperative O-arm Navigation: A Retrospective Observational Study

Junfeng Gong,Xinle Huang,Liwen Luo,Huan Liu,Hao Wu,Ying Tan,Changqing Li,Yu Tang,Yue Zhou 대한척추신경외과학회 2022 Neurospine Vol.19 No.2

Objective: Endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) has gained increasing popularity among spine surgeons. However, with the use of fluoroscopy, intraoperative radiation exposure remains a major concern. Here, we aim to introduce Endo-TLIF assisted by O-arm-based navigation and compare the results between O-arm navigation and fluoroscopy groups. Methods: Sixty-four patients were retrospectively analyzed from May 2019 to September 2020; the nonnavigation group comprised 34 patients, and the navigation group comprised 30 patients. Data on radiation dose, blood loss, postoperative drains, surgery time, complications, and length of hospital stay (LOS) were collected. Clinical outcomes were evaluated from postoperative data such as fusion rate, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiation dose and surgery time were selected as primary outcomes; the others were second outcomes. Results: All patients were followed up for at least 12 months. No significant differences were detected in intraoperative hemorrhage, postoperative drains, hospital LOS, or complications between the 2 groups. The radiation dose was significantly lower in the navigation group compared with the nonnavigation group. The time of cannula placement and pedicle screw fixation was significantly reduced in the navigation group. No significant differences were detected between the clinical outcomes in the 2 groups (VAS and ODI scores). Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that O-arm-assisted Endo-TLIF is efficient and safe. Compared with fluoroscopy, O-arm navigation could reduce the radiation exposure and surgical time in Endo-TLIF surgery, with similar clinical outcomes. However, the higher doses exposed to patients remains a negative effect of this technology.

Huiyun Zhang,Xinyan Peng,Xinling Li,Jingjuan Wu,Xinyu Guo 한국축산식품학회 2017 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.37 No.1

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of clove extract (CE) (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) on the oxidative stability and quality deterioration of Chinese-style sausage stored for 21 d at 4°C. The addition of clove extract to sausages significantly retarded increases in Thiobarbituric Reactive Substances (TBARS) values (p<0.05), while also controlling the production of protein carbonyls (p<0.05). However, the addition of clove extract promoted reduced thiol group content in sausages (p<0.05). Sausages amended with clove extract also had decreased L* values (p<0.05) and increased a* values (p<0.05) when compared with the control. Similarly, texture deterioration was retarded in sausage containing added clove extract when compared with the control during refrigerated storage. Moreover, the addition of clove extract had no negative effects on the sensory properties of sausages. These results suggested that clove extract was effective at protecting sausages from oxidation and quality deterioration during refrigerated storage for 21 d.
