reducing salt intake is an effective strategy for preventing and managing hypertension and cardiovasculardiseases. In this study, psyllium husk powder (PHP) was incorporated into surimi to address the challenges of diminished saltiness and texture in low-salt surimi products. PHP promoted the conversion of alpha-helix structures into beta-sheet and strengthening intermolecular interactions, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, anddisulfide bonds. The addition of PHP enhanced the connectivity and uniformity of the surimi gel network, resulting in an increase in gel strength from 11.35 to 13.88 N and a reduction in cooking loss from 6.33% to 2.27%. Additionally, the more compact gel network structure improved the fluidity of immobile water within the low-salt surimi gel. The surimi gel containing 1.5% PHP accelerated a 30% higher Na+ release rate compared to the low-salt surimi gel, enhancing the saltiness perception to levels comparable with high-salt surimi gel, as measured by an electronic tongue. These findings present a promising approach to improving the texture and saltiness perception of surimi gel products while reducing salt content.

CNTs produced by traditional physical and chemical methods inevitably have some defects. The existence of defects has a great impact on the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of CNTs. This article presents a method for evaluating the influence of vacancy defects on the fracture mechanism of carbon nanotubes using the C-C bond fracture criterion. The objective of this approach is to develop a finite element model of carbon nanotubes that includes atomic vacancy defects, allowing for the analysis of the evolution of these defects into dislocations. Specifically, this study utilizes a finite element model to simulate the fracture behavior of carbon nanotubes. Additionally, X-ray diffractometer andraman spectrometer techniques are employed to characterize and analyze complete carbon nanotubes with atomic vacancies anddefects throughout the evolution process. The findings indicate that vacancy defects significantly reduce the tensile strength and ultimate strain of Carbon nanotubes, with reductions of approximately 20-30% and 12-18% in tensile strength and final strain, respectively. The diffraction andraman spectra uncover the evolution mechanism of carbon nanotubes from point defects to dislocation until fracture, and furtherdemonstrate the substantial decrease in their mechanical properties resulting from stress concentration.

A mesoscopic representative volume element (rVE) model of carbon fiberreinforced polymers (CFrP) laminate with 15 plies was established based on the principle of fiberrandom disturbance. The rVE model was validated by comparing the elastic parameters calculated by the rVE model, Chamis model, and Bridge model. Wet stress and thermal stress were coupled using a sequential method. Macroscopic and microscopic subroutines were developed to calculate the stress-strain field of CFrP laminate andrVE model. A multiscale numerical simulation of three-point bending of moisture-saturated CFrP laminate was conducted. Failure process and failure modes of CFrP laminate were discussed based on the multiscale simulation and SEM observations. The results show that the rVE model and the multiscale simulation strategy presented in this work can predict the coupled hygrothermal stress and the strength degradation due to moisture absorption very well. The maximum error between the simulated and experimental averaged force of the moisture-saturated CFrP laminate subjected to three-point bending is about 3.4%. Multiscale simulation demonstrated that uneven distribution of fibers can result in the fiber/matrix interfaces bearing a larger transverse stress in the fiber's dense distribution area. It is the main reason that results in fiber/matrix interface failure of CFrP laminates working in hygrothermal *** A rVE model of CFrP laminate was presented using fibers random disturbance. Coupled hygrothermal stress of single fiber and surrounded matrix was obtained. A multiscale simulation of the strength change of the CFrP plate due to wet-thermal stress was conducted. Failure modes of CFrP laminate are discussed based on the multiscale simulation.

The effects of feeding on insect larvae treated with pesticide on the biological and biochemical characteristics of Arma chinensis were investigated. In the F0 generation, the developmental duration and preoviposition period were shortened, the average number of eggs laid was reduced, and the net reproductive rate and mean generation time were significantly lower in the treatment group compared to those in the control group. The average number of eggs laid by the F1 generation of A. chinensis was lower in the treatment group. The intrinsic rates of increase, finite rates of increase and net reproductive rates were significantly lower in the F1 generation in the treatment group than those in the control group. The activities of CarE and GST were significantly induced, while the activity of AChE was inhibited in the A. chinensis in the treatment group. The activities of trypsin and THL were significantly induced in the treatment group, while the activity of LPS was not significantly changed. At the population level, Enterococcaceae were cultured only from the intestines of the A. chinensis in the treatment group. At the genus level, in addition to Serratia, Yokenella and Klebsiella, which were consistent with the control group, the genus Enterococcus was also cultured in the treatment group. When controlling P. rapae in the field, pesticides should be reasonably selected, and an appropriate time should be chosen for the release of A. chinensis to reduce the impact on natural enemies and to achieve synergistic chemical and biological control.

L-2-Aminobutyric acid (L-2-ABA) is a nonnatural chiral alpha-amino acid which is widely used in various chiral pharmaceuticals and medical intermediates. Currently, the microbial metabolic engineering approach to enable Escherichia coli to produce L-2-ABA autonomously exists the problem of low synthesis efficiency, limiting its large-scale application. In this study, we successfully constructed a strain of E. coli that can produce L-2-ABA efficiently via multi-pathway transformation. Firstly, the growth defect of the start strain was restored by the help of screening transcriptional regulators. To maximize the accumulation of L-2-ABA, enhancements were made to the main synthetic pathways as well as cofactor systems and energy supply. Subsequently, transport proteins associated with osmotic stress tolerance were modified to improve adaptability of the strain during fermentation. Ultimately, the titer of L-2-ABA reached 42.14 g/L through the final strain ABAT38 in a 5-liter bioreactor, with a productivity of 0.40 g/L/h and a glucose conversion of 0.39 g/g, which exceeded the highest levels reported before. The strategies proposed in this study contribute to the production of L-2-ABA. At the same time, it has reference significance for the biosynthesis of related nonnatural amino acids with phosphoenolpyruvate as the intermediate metabolite.

The support technology forroadway rock has always posed significant challenges in mining and tunnel engineering. This is particularly true fordeep asymmetrical soft rock roadway, for which no effective and mature reference technology currently exists. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the deformation mechanism and support technology fordeep soft rock roadway at the Qingyun mine. Based on field investigation and theoretical analysis, we summarize the deformation mechanism and its influencing factors. Numerical simulation results of excavation indicate that the improved support scheme effectively controls roadway deformation, with 68.0 mm for the roof, 26.3 mm for the floor, and 45.12 and 44.98 mm for the two sidewalls. Moreover, the plastic zone depth is significantly reduced by 0.5 m to 2.0 m of roadway. Field monitoring data, including peephole, acoustic velocity, and bolt stress measurement, strongly support the positive impact of the improved support on surrounding rock deformation and stability. As the working face advances, the influence of mining disturbance on the roadway increases. Compared to primary support, the deformation of improved support scheme reduces by 17 to 65 mm. The outline of the loose circle under the improved support scheme is mapped, showing an overall depth reduction of 0.58 and 0.20 m compared to conditions without support and with primary support, respectively. We hope this research serves as a valuable reference for other soft rock engineering projects.

Given the significant greenhouse effect of SF6, the C4F7N-CO2-O-2 mixture has been identified as one of the most promising eco-friendly arc-extinguishing gases. Switching arcs typically exhibit pronounced non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) phenomena in the peripheral regions and at the current zero-crossing point, thereby influencing the thermophysical properties of the plasma. To investigate the impact of NLTE conditions, the thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients of two-temperature (2-T) C4F7N-CO2-O-2 plasma were calculated under the local chemical equilibrium assumption. The results indicate that NLTE conditions significantly affect the properties of the mixture by altering its composition andparticle energy, often having a more substantial impact than pressure variations. The generation of CO plays a critical role in shaping the thermodynamic and transport parameters of the plasma due to its molecular stability, particularly under non-equilibrium states. To maximise the arc-extinguishing performance of the gas, recommended oxygen mixing ratios are proposed. The results provide fundamental data for 2-T magnetohydrodynamic modelling of C4F7N gas mixtures in arc simulations.
