This article presents strategies for improving the efficiency of patient transfers, particularly in hospitals where intensive care units are located in buildings separate from general wards. Patient transfers comprise several steps: physicians issue orders, relatives are notified, equipment is prepared, and medical staff coordinate. We identified three factors that influence transfer time: preparation time for bed transfer, time required for shift handovers, and time required for between-ward patient movement. Unfamiliarity with transfer routes and long elevator wait times were factors that also influenced transfer time. The following strategies were proposed: develop a standardized material checklist, design key notes for patient transfers, and optimize transfer routes. These strategies reduced transfer times by 40% to 43%. This study demonstrates that by addressing logistical challenges and streamlining relevant procedures, hospitals can enhance safety and quality of care during patient transfers.展开更多

文摘Heterostructures of organic semi-conductors and transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)are viable candidates for superior optoelec-tronic devices.Photoinduced inter-facial charge transfer is crucial for the performance efficiency of such devices,yet the underlying mecha-nism,especially the roles of optical-ly dark triplets and spatially sepa-rated charge transfer states,is poorly understood.In the present work,we obtain the struc-tures of distinct excited states and investigate how they are involved in the charge transfer process at the Pd-octaethylporphyrin(PdOEP)and WS_(2) interface in terms of their energies and couplings.The results show that electron transfer from the triplet PdOEP formed via intersystem crossing prevails over direct electron transfer from the singlet(two orders of magnitude faster).Further analysis reveals that the relatively higher rate of triplet electron transfer compared to singlet electron transfer is mainly attributed to a smaller reorganization energy,which is dominated by the out-of-plane vibrations of the organic component.The work emphasizes the important roles of the optically dark triplets in the electron transfer of the PdOEP@WS_(2) heterostructure,and provides valuable theoretical insights for further improv-ing the optoelectronic performance of TMD-based devices.

文摘Extracted natural gas hydrate is a multi-phase and multi-component mixture,and its complex composition poses significant challenges for transmission and transportation,including phase changes following extraction and sediment deposition within the pipeline.This study examines the flow and heat transfer characteristics of hydrates in a riser,focusing on the multi-phase flow behavior of natural gas hydrate in the development riser.Additionally,the effects of hydrate flow and seawater temperature on heat exchange are analyzed by simulating the ambient temperature conditions of the South China Sea.The findings reveal that the increase in unit pressure drop is primarily attributed to higher flowvelocities,which result in increased friction of the hydrate flowwithin the development riser.For example,at a hydrate volume fraction of 10%,the unit pressure drop rises by 166.65%and 270.81% when the average inlet velocity is increased from1.0 to 3.0m/s(a two-fold increase)and 5.0 m/s(a four-fold increase),respectively.Furthermore,the riser outlet temperature rises with increasing hydrate flowrates.Under specific heat loss conditions,the flowratemust exceed a minimum threshold to ensure safe transportation.The study also indicates that the riser outlet temperature increases with higher seawater temperatures.Within the seawater temperature range of 5℃ to 15℃,the heat transfer efficiency is reduced compared to the range of 15℃ to 20℃.This discrepancy is due to the fact that as the seawater temperature rises,the convective heat transfer coefficient between the hydrate and the inner wall of the riser also increases,leading to improved overall heat transfer between the hydrate and the pipeline.

文摘Organic nanophotocatalysts are promising candidates for solar fuels production,but they still face the challenge of unfavorable geminate recombination due to the limited exciton diffusion lengths.Here,we introduce a binary nanophotocatalyst fabricated by blending two polymers,PS-PEG5(PS)and PBT-PEG5(PBT),with matched absorption and emission spectra,enabling a Forster resonance energy transfer(FRET)process for enhanced photocatalysis.These heterostructure nanophotocatalysts are processed using a facile and scalable flash nanoprecipitation(FNP)technique with precious kinetic control over binary nanoparticle formation.The resulting nanoparticles exhibit an exceptional photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate up to 65 mmol g^(-1) h^(-1),2.5 times higher than that single component nanoparticles.Characterizations through fluorescence spectra and transient absorption spectra confirm the hetero-energy transfer within the binary nanoparticles,which prolongs the excited-state lifetime and extends the namely“effective exciton diffusion length”.Our finding opens new avenues for designing efficient organic photocatalysts by improving exciton migration.

文摘In scenarios such as vehicle radiation monitoring and unmanned aerial vehicle radiation detection,rapid measurements using a NaI(Tl)detector often result in low photon counts,weak characteristic peaks,and significant statistical fluctuations.These issues can lead to potential failures in peak-searching-based identification methods.To address the low precision associated with short-duration measurements of radionuclides,this paper proposes an identification algorithm that leverages heterogeneous spectral transfer to develop a low-count energy spectral identification model.Comparative experiments demonstrated that transferring samples from 26 classes of simulated heterogeneous gamma spectra aids in creating a reliable model for measured gamma spectra.With only 10%of target domain samples used for training,the accuracy on real low-count spectral samples was 95.56%.This performance shows a significant improvement over widely employed full-spectrum analysis methods trained on target domain samples.The proposed method also exhibits strong generalization capabilities,effectively mitigating overfitting issues in low-count energy spectral classification under short-duration measurements.

文摘The present work deals with the numerical study of the two-phase flow pattern and heat transfer characteristics of single-loop pulsating heat pipes(PHPs)under three modified surfaces(superhydrophilic evaporation section paired with superhydrophilic,superhydrophobic,and hybrid condensation section).The Volume of Fluid(VOF)model was utilized to capture the phase-change process within the PHPs.The study also evaluated the influence of surface wettability on fluid patterns and thermo-dynamic heat transfer performance under various heat fluxes.The results indicated that the effective nucleation and detachment of droplets are critical factors influencing the thermal performance of the PHPs.The overall heat transfer performance of the superhydrophobic surface was significantly improved at low heat flux.Under medium to high heat flux,the superhydrophilic condensation section exhibits a strong oscillation effect and leads to the thickening of the liquid film.In addition,the hybrid surface possesses the heat transfer characteristics of both superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic walls.The hybrid condensation section exhibited the lowest thermal resistance by 0.45 K/W at the heat flux of 10731 W/m^(2).The thermal resistance is reduced by 13.1%and 5.4%,respectively,compared to the superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic conditions.The proposed surface-modification method for achieving highly efficient condensation heat transfer is helpful for the design and operation of device-cooling components.

文摘In recent years,polarization remote sensing has garnered increasing attention,particularly within the realm of meteorology.To accurately simulate polarization information,the vector discrete-ordinate radiative transfer(VDISORT)model developed earlier by the community is further enhanced to an advanced version(referred to as A-VDISORT)through an improved ocean surface reflection.The Fresnel reflection matrix,which includes wind-generated roughness and shading effects,is served by an ocean bidirectional reflection distribution function(BRDF).The simulation from AVDISORT is compared with SCIATRAN for a Rayleigh scattering atmosphere,and the influence of water-leaving radiance is analyzed by the PSTAR(Polarized System for Transfer of Atmospheric Radiation) model.For GaoFen-5 Directional Polarimetric Camera(DPC) observations with polarization and multi-angle information,clear-sky pixel recognition over the ocean is first carried out.The DPC reflectance of clear conditions is normalized and compared with the observations.It is shown that A-VDISORT has a high simulation accuracy with a bias of –0.0053.The difference between simulation and observation exhibits a standard normal probability distribution function.

文摘The current deep learning models for braced excavation cannot predict deformation from the beginning of excavation due to the need for a substantial corpus of sufficient historical data for training purposes.To address this issue,this study proposes a transfer learning model based on a sequence-to-sequence twodimensional(2D)convolutional long short-term memory neural network(S2SCL2D).The model can use the existing data from other adjacent similar excavations to achieve wall deflection prediction once a limited amount of monitoring data from the target excavation has been recorded.In the absence of adjacent excavation data,numerical simulation data from the target project can be employed instead.A weight update strategy is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy by integrating the stochastic gradient masking with an early stopping mechanism.To illustrate the proposed methodology,an excavation project in Hangzhou,China is adopted.The proposed deep transfer learning model,which uses either adjacent excavation data or numerical simulation data as the source domain,shows a significant improvement in performance when compared to the non-transfer learning model.Using the simulation data from the target project even leads to better prediction performance than using the actual monitoring data from other adjacent excavations.The results demonstrate that the proposed model can reasonably predict the deformation with limited data from the target project.

文摘Oxygen vacancies(Ov)within metal oxide electrodes can enhance mass/charge transfer dynamics in energy storage systems.However,construction of surface Ovoften leads to instability in electrode structure and irreversible electrochemical reactions,posing a significant challenge.To overcome these challenges,atomic heterostructures are employed to address the structural instability and enhance the mass/charge transfer dynamics associated with phase conversion mechanism in aqueous electrodes,Herein,we introduce an atomic S-Bi_(2)O_(3)heterostructure(sulfur(S)anchoring on the surface Ovof Bi_(2)O_(3)).The integration of S within Bi_(2)O_(3)lattice matrix triggers a charge imbala nce at the heterointerfaces,ultimately resulting in the creation of a built-in electric field(BEF).Thus,the BEF attracts OH-ions to be adsorbed onto Bi within the regions of high electron cloud overlap in S-Bi_(2)O_(3),facilitating highly efficient charge transfer.Furthermore,the anchored S plays a pivotal role in preserving structural integrity,thus effectively stabilizing the phase conversion reaction of Bi_(2)O_(3).As a result,the S-Bi_(2)O_(3)electrode achieves72.3 mA h g^(-1)at 10 A g^(-1)as well as high-capacity retention of 81.9%after 1600 cycles.Our innovative SBi_(2)O_(3)design presents a groundbreaking approach for fabricating electrodes that exhibit efficient and stable mass and charge transfer capabilities.Furthermore,it enhances our understanding of the underlying reaction mechanism within energy storage electrodes.

文摘Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks(Ln-MOFs)have received extensive attention in the development of photoluminescent(PL)materials due to their stable structures and unique line-like emission spectroscopic properties.However,in order to prepare Ln-MOFs with high PL quantum yield(PLQY),further improving the sensitization efficiency of the“antenna effect”is essential.Herein,remarkably enhanced PL in[Tb_(2)(BDC)_(3)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_n MOF is successfully achieved via high-pressure engineering at room temperature.Notably,the PL intensity continues to increase as the pressure increases,reaching its peak at 12.0 GPa,which is 4.4 times that of the initial state.Detailed experimental and theoretical calculations have demonstrated that pressure engineering significantly narrows the bandgap of[Tb_(2)(BDC)_(3)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_n,optimizing both singlet and triplet energy levels.Ultimately,higher antenna effect sensitization efficiency is achieved by promoting intersystem crossing and energy transfer processes.Our work provides a promising strategy for the development of high PLQY Ln-MOFs.

文摘Cropland abandonment has been a widespread phenomenon in mountainous areas due to the increasing number of natural disasters and the massive migration of rural labor in the process of rapid urbanization.Land transfer is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring food security and fostering rural revitalization.How to promote land transfer in mountainous areas remains a challenging but important task.Nevertheless,there is a dearth of research examining land transfers among farm households that specifically address mountainous regions,and the influence of grassroots governance and geographic location has not been thoroughly elucidated within this particular context.Based on 895household samples collected in Dabie Mountainous Area in China,this study employs binary and ordinal logistic regression models to provide a more comprehensive analysis on land transfers among rural households and the determinants,including the decision to transfer land,the existence of land transfer rents,the channel of land transfer,the duration of the transfer,the pre-transfer cultivation situation,and the level of satisfaction with the land transfer rent.The findings reveal that grassroots governance,geographic location,livelihood capital,and demographic factors significantly influence land transfers among rural households.Specifically,villagers'public participation positively affects land transfer participation(β=0.235,p<0.05),while the operation of village rules and regulations negatively impacts it(β=-0.296,p<0.05).Village cadre satisfaction positively influences both land transfer rent(β=0.274,p<0.05)and rent satisfaction(β=0.303,p<0.05).Improved civil relations in the village correlate with lower land transfer rent(β=-0.511,p<0.05),while a better social atmosphere is associated with higher satisfaction with transfer rent(β=0.575,p<0.01).Households at higher elevations tend to prefer government-mediated land transfers with longer durations.The distances to the township and county centers have contrasting effects on land transfer rent,but their impacts on participation in land transfer,choice of transfer channel,and duration are consistent.The study also found that different types of livelihood capital,as well as the demographic characteristics of households,significantly affect various aspects of land transfer.These empirical findings can inform policymaking to promote more efficient land transfers in mountainous region.

文摘Aqueous Ni-Zn microbatteries are safe,reliable and inexpensive but notoriously suffer from inadequate energy and power densities.Herein,we present a novel mechanism of superoxide-activated Ni substrate that realizes the redox reaction featuring three-electron transfers(Ni↔Ni3+).The superoxide activates the direct redox reaction between Ni substrate and KNiO_(2)by lowering the reaction Gibbs free energy,supported by in-situ Raman and density functional theory simulations.The prepared chronopotentiostatic superoxidation-activated Ni(CPS-Ni)electrodes exhibit an ultrahigh capacity of 3.21 mAh cm^(-2)at the current density of 5 mA cm^(-2),nearly 8 times that of traditional one-electron processes electrodes.Even under the ultrahigh 200 mA cm^(-2)current density,the CPS-Ni electrodes show 86.4%capacity retention with a Columbic efficiency of 99.2%after 10,000 cycles.The CPS-Ni||Zn microbattery achieves an exceptional energy density of 6.88 mWh cm^(-2)and power density of 339.56 mW cm^(-2).Device demonstration shows that the power source can continuously operate for more than 7 days in powering the sensing and computation intensive practical application of photoplethysmographic waveform monitoring.This work paves the way to the development of multi-electron transfer mechanisms for advanced aqueous Ni-Zn batteries with high capacity and long lifetime.
文摘Semiconductor-cocatalyst interfacial electron transfer has widely been considered as a fast step occurring on picosecond-microsecond timescale in photocatalytic reaction.However,the formed potential barriers severely slow this interfacial electronic process by thermionic emission.Although trap-assisted charge recombination can transfer electrons from semiconductor to cocatalyst and can even be evident under weak illumination,the parallel connection with thermionic emission makes the photocatalytic photon utilization encounter a minimum along the variation of light intensity.By this cognition,the light-intensity-dependent photocatalytic behaviors can be predicted by simulating the photoinduced semiconductor-cocatalyst interfacial electron transfer that mainly determines the reaction rate.We then propose a(photo)electrochemical method to evaluate the time constants for occurring this interfacial electronic process in actual photocatalytic reaction without relying on extremely high photon flux that is required to generate discernible optical signal in common instrumental methods based on ultrafast pulse laser.The evaluated decisecond-second timescale can accurately guide us to develop certain strategies to facilitate this rate-determining step to improve photon utilization.

文摘In modern engineering,enhancing boiling heat transfer efficiency is crucial for optimizing energy use and several industrial processes involving different types of materials.This study explores the enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer potentially induced by combining perforated copper particles on a heated surface with a sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)surfactant in saturated deionized water.Experiments were conducted at standard atmospheric pressure,with heat flux ranging from 20 to 100 kW/m2.The heating surface,positioned below the layer of freely moving copper beads,allowed the particle layer to shift due to liquid convection and steam nucleation.The study reports on the influence of copper bead diameter(2,3,4,and 5 mm),particle quantity,arrangement,and SDS concentration(20,200,and 500 ppm).It is shown that the combination of 5 mm particles and a 500 ppm SDS concentration can yield a remarkable 139%improvement in heat transfer efficiency.As demonstrated by direct flow visualization,bubble formation occurs primarily in the gaps between the particles and the heated surface,with the presence of SDS reducing bubble size and accelerating bubble detachment.

文摘The dinuclear system approach,coupled with the statistical decay model GEMINI++,was used to investigate multinucleon transfer reactions.Experimental production cross-sections in the reaction^(129)Xe+^(248)Cm were reproduced to assess the reliability of these theoretical models.The production of neutron-deficient transcalifornium nuclei with Z=99-106 was examined in multinucleon transfer reactions,including^(124)Xe+^(248)Cm,^(124)Xe+^(249)Cf,and^(129)Xe+^(249)Cf.Both the driving potential and the neutron-to-proton equilibration ratio were found to dominate the nucleon transfer process.The reaction^(124)Xe+^(249)Cf is proposed as a promising projectile-target combination for producing neutron-deficient isotopes with Z=99-106,with the optimal incident energy identified as E_(c.m.)=533.64 MeV.Production cross-sections of 25 unknown neutron-deficient trancalifornium isotopes with cross-sections greater than 1 pb were predicted.
