In order to make carbon/carbon composites suitable for application in gas turbine engine, it is necessary to develop environmental barrier coatings (EBcs) to protect them from reacting with water vapor. In our previous work, a novel high-entropy rare-earth disilicate (Lu0.2Yb0.2Er0.2Tm0.2Sc0.2)2Si2O7 ((5RE0.2)2Si2O7) has been developed and verified as a promising candidate for EBcs. In this work, the (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 coating was syn-thesized on the surface of Siccoated c/ccomposites by supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying method. The protective performance and mechanism of this coating under high temperature water vapor environment was explored in detail. Results showed that the weight change of the sample coated with (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 was only 0.2% after corrosion for 100 h at 1500 oc, which proved that (5RE0.2)2Si2O7 coating could significantly improve the resistance of c/ccomposites against water vapor corrosion. This work may provide theoretical basis for the design and application of high-entropy rare-earth silicates as EBcs.

In recent decades, assays with the nematode caenorhabditis elegans (c. elegans) have enabled great advances to be made in research on aging. However, performing these assays manually is a laborious task. To solve this problem, numerous c. elegans assay automation techniques are being developed to increase throughput and accuracy. In this paper, a method for predicting the lifespan of c. elegans nematodes using a bimodal neural network is proposed and analyzed. Specifically, the model uses the sequence of images and the count of live c. elegans up to the current day to predict the lifespan curve termination. This network has been trained using a simulator to avoid the labeling costs of training such a model. In addition, a method for estimating the uncertainty of the model predictions has been proposed. Using this uncertainty, a criterion has been analyzed to decide at what point the assay could be halted and the user could rely on the model's predictions. The method has been analyzed and validated using real experiments. The results show that uncertainty is reduced from the mean lifespan and that most of the predictions obtained do not present statistically significant differences with respect to the curves obtained manually.(c) 2022 The Authors.

Late blowing, a microbiological spoilage in hard and semi-hard cheese caused by clostridium spores in raw milk, results in high economic losses for cheese producers. This study compared the sensitivity of the newly developed multiplex qPcR method which employing novel oligonucleotide primers and fluorescent TaqMan probes, and the culture-based most probable number (MPN) method in detecting the late blowing agent clostridium species in traditional Turkish cheese. A total of 50 naturally contaminated cheese samples obtained from producers were analysed by both methods. clostridium tyrobutyricum was the most common species occurring in 74% of the cheese samples, followed by c. butyricum and c. sporogenes occurring in 50% and 16% of the samples, respectively. The results of the two methods were consistent in 42 out of the 50 (84%) cheese samples. Our results indicate that the multiplex qPcR method is more sensitive than the MPN method. The multiplex qPcR method provided a favourable alternative to traditional cultural methods. This alternative molecular method has great potential in the laboratory and in the field for the rapid detection of late blowing of cheese samples.

The development of low-cost single-atom electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desired but remains a grand challenge. Superior to the conventional techniques, a microwave-assisted strategy is reported for rapid production of high-quality Fe/N/c single-atom catalysts (SAcs) with profoundly enhanced reaction rate and remarkably reduced energy consumption. The as-synthesized catalysts exhibit an excellent ORR performance with a positive half-wave potential up to 0.90 V, a high turnover frequency of 0.76 s(-1), as well as a satisfied stability with a lost half-wave potential of just 27 mV over 9000 cycles (much better than that of Pt/c with 107 mV lost) and good methanol resistance. The open-circuit voltages of as-constructed aqueous and flexible all-solid-state Zn-air batteries (ZABs) are 1.56 and 1.52 V, respectively, higher than those of 20% Pt/c-based ones (i.e., 1.43 and 1.38 V, respectively). Impressively, they afford a peak power density of 235 mW cm(-2), which exceeds that of Pt/c (i.e., 186 mW cm(-2)), and is comparable to the best ones of Fe/N/c-based ZABs ever reported.

In the paper, the urchin-like TiO2 with rutile crystal structure was prepared under acidicconditions. When c powder was added in the reaction process, rutile TiO2 became rutile and anatase diphase structure. The yields of cH4 and cO of c/Ag@TiO2 were 5.46 & mu;mol & BULL;g- 1 & BULL;h-1 and 1.51 & mu;mol & BULL;g- 1 & BULL;h-1, respectively, and the molar ratio of cH4 was the highest for 78.3%. Through characterization of optical and electrical properties, the addition of c and Ag improved the optical performance, carrier concentration, and electron mobility. Finally, the photo -catalytic reaction mechanism was proposed.

One of the main goals of energy conversion research is to develop efficient, nonprecious, and stable electrocatalysts to replace deficient and unstable noble metal catalysts. Hence, this work described metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived ZnO/c hybrid via a hydrothermal route grown on the surface of conducting stainless steel substrate (SS). By using multiple physical techniques (XRD, FTIR, TEM, XPS, and EDX), we compared structural and morphological properties of ZnO/c hybrid and MOF-5 electrodes. The electrocatalytic behaviour of amiable and economical ZnO/c/SS catalyst was noticed in catalyzing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in one mole KOH electrolyzer with low overpotential and excellent stability. cyclic sweep voltammetry indicated that the ZnO/c/SS hybrid only needs an ultralow overpotential of 282 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm(-1) for OER. In addition, ZnO/c/SS with a low Tafel slope of 39.3 mV/dec and higher 0.29 s(-1) turnover frequency can serve as a proficient electrocatalyst compared to commercial ZnO and MOF-5 electrodes. The stability of ZnO/c/SS hybrid electrocatalyst approaching minor chronoamperometric degradation after 55 h. The electrochemical response depicts that the successful synthesis of MOF-derived ZnO/c/SS catalyst provided abundant active centers and boosted an electron-rich environment to promote its future prosperity and facilitate practical applications for electrochemical water-splitting.

c/Siccomposite has been widely used as a high-temperature material for engineering components due to its excellent thermal properties. Facing the rapid development and threat of high-energy laser, study on the ablation resistance under laser irradiation is strongly required. In this work, a continuous high-energy laser was applied to explore the laser ablation behavior and mechanism of c/Siccomposite. From the results, c/Siccomposite shows different morphologies when irradiated at various laser power densities for 500 and 700 W/cm(2). We divided the ablation area into three regions;the central, transition, and edge regions, where the formation of SiO2, SiO, and the breakage of carbon fiber were observed. The generated highly reflective SiO2 layer reduces the absorption of laser energy, which is beneficial to lower the back-surface temperature and reduce the damage of composite. In addition, we put forward the ablation physical models and ablation mechanisms irradiated at different power densities. The work provides a basis for the laser ablation resistance of c/Siccomposites under different conditions.

In this paper, experiments and numerical simulations were used to study the mechanical properties of all-c/ccomposite hybrid bonded/bolted joints. Experiments were conducted to investigate the failure mechanisms, modes, and strengths of composite single-lap joints, namely, bolted joints with and without bonds. The results demonstrated that the failure mode of all-c/ccomposite mechanical joints was bolt shear failure, while the failure mode of the bonded joints was cohesive force failure. In hybrid bonded/bolted joints, cohesive force failure of the adhesive layer and bolt shear failure have both been noted. The c/ccomposite plates of all joints were not discovered to have any evident deterioration. The load-displacement curve of the hybrid joints was a double-peak curve, the first peak load corresponds to bonding failure, and the second peak load corresponds to bolt failure. For the failure process, mode, and strength of hybrid (bonded/bolted) joints, a 3D progressive damage finite element model was proposed. It is based on the nonlinear finite element code ABAQUS and Hashion failure criteria. The VUMAT subroutine compiled Hashion failure criteria to simulate the damage of fiber and matrix in the composite material. Furthermore, the adhesive layer's failure was simulated using the cohesive element. comparing failure loads and failure modes to the outcomes of experiments served to validate the model. The gradual damage evolution process and failure mechanism of bonded and hybrid bonded/bolted joints were determined, as well as the mechanism by which the cohesive layer influences the mechanical properties of the hybrid bonded/bolted joints. On the mechanical characteristics of composite joints, the impacts of bolt diameter and adhesive layer modulus were investigated.

The rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective c-H iodination of 1-aryl isoquinolines under mild conditions is disclosed. Direct c-H iodination of 1-aryl isoquinolines with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) catalyzed by chiral cpRh(III) complexes afforded a series of axially chiral biaryl iodides in excellent yields and enantioselectivity (up to 99% yield and 97% ee). Furthermore, the atroposelective c-H bromination and chlorination reactions were also compatible. Notably, the axially chiral biaryl iodides could be easily transformed to QUINAP-type and N,N-type chiral ligands.

Despite significant progress in the verification of hypervisors, operating systems, and compilers, and in verification tooling, there exists a wide gap between the approaches used in verification projects and conventional development of systems software. We see two main challenges in bringing these closer together: verification handling the complexity of code and semantics of conventional systems software, and verification usability. We describe an experiment in verification tool design aimed at addressing some aspects of both: we design and implement cN, a separation-logic refinement type system for c systems software, aimed at predictable proof automation, based on a realistic semantics of ISO c. cN reduces refinement typing to decidable propositional logic reasoning, uses first-class resources to support pointer aliasing and pointer arithmetic, features resource inference for iterated separating conjunction, and uses a novel syntactic restriction of ghost variables in specifications to guarantee their successful inference. We implement cN and formalise key aspects of the type system, including a soundness proof of type checking. To demonstrate the usability of cN we use it to verify a substantial component of Google's pKVM hypervisor for Android.
