Haynes 282 has attracted attention for casting applications in AUSC power plants due to its good creep properties. However, the market is primarily comprised of wrought Haynes 282, while the cast ...version is not commercially available. In this study, the microstructure of a large traditional sand cast Haynes 282 was studied from as-cast condition to long-term heat-treated condition by combining experimental data and thermodynamic calculations. The microstructure of a large cast Haynes 282 includes γ, γ’, two types of MX, M23C6 and µ phases. After standard post heat treatment, µ phases were dissolved and precipitated as M6C. The equilibrium state was achieved after 266 h aging at 788 °C, after which γ’ particles began coarsening. These kept to a spherical morphology; the smallest misfit was found with the γ matrix. Once post heat treatment was finished, MX exhibited little morphology and compositional change during the long-term isothermal aging. Grain boundary is covered by discrete M23C6 and M6C precipitates and this morphology keeps stable during isothermal aging. No presence of the needle µ phase have been found at grain boundaries after 10,000 h aging at 788 °C. All these microstructural features indicated that cast Haynes 282 could have a high thermal stability and good creep properties.
Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a promising material to achieve lightweight automotive components. The effects of the strain rate and configurations of CFRP on dynamic tensile properties ...have not yet been fully explored; thus, its lightweight benefits cannot be maximized. In this paper, the dynamic tensile properties of CFRPs, tested using two different processes with two different resins and four different configurations, were studied with a strain rate from 0.001 to 500 s−1. The tensile strength, modulus, failure strain, and fracture mechanism were analyzed. It was found that the dynamic performance enhances the strength and modulus, whereas it decreases the failure strain. The two processes demonstrated the same level of tensile strength but via different fracture mechanisms. Fiber orientation also significantly affects the fracture mode of CFRP. Resins and configurations both have an influence on strain rate sensitivity. An analytic model was proposed to examine the strain rate sensitivity of CFRPs with different processes and configurations. The proposed model agreed well with the experimental data, and it can be used in simulations to maximize the lightweight properties of CFRP.
To explore the visual experience characteristics and influencing factors of college students' visual attention intervention in the interface of mobile learning platform by using eye-tracking ...technology, and to summarize and summarize the visual experience pattern of platform interface design and its design inspiration.
Using the head-mounted eye-tracking technology, 28 images from 6 groups of typical elements in the interface layout of CGTN learning platform were selected as the test samples, and the eye-movement indexes of the subjects browsing the interface were recorded.
There were significant differences in the attention time, number of times of attention, visual attention rate and visual recall rate of different areas and topics of the interface (P < 0. 001).
In the platform interface design, the analysis of the factors influencing visual attention can be found that people's attention and visual experience is mainly influenced by color, text, and typography, and secondary areas and layout also play an important role in visual communication. The color and text areas in the interface design, as well as the innovative design of typography can effectively enhance the visual attention of college students and better communicate the information of the platform.
We present a survey of the C ii 158 m line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) dust continuum emission in a sample of 27 quasars using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at resolution. The C ii ...line was significantly detected (at - ) in 23 sources (85%). We find typical line luminosities of , and an average line width of ∼385 . The C ii-to-far-infrared luminosity ratios (C ii/FIR) in our sources span one order of magnitude, highlighting a variety of conditions in the star-forming medium. Four quasar host galaxies are clearly resolved in their C ii emission on a few kpc scales. Basic estimates of the dynamical masses of the host galaxies give masses between 2 × 1010 and 2 × 1011 , i.e., more than an order of magnitude below what is expected from local scaling relations, given the available limits on the masses of the central black holes ( , assuming Eddington-limited accretion). In stacked ALMA C ii spectra of individual sources in our sample, we find no evidence of a deviation from a single Gaussian profile. The quasar luminosity does not strongly correlate with either the C ii luminosity or equivalent width. This survey (with typical on-source integration times of 8 minutes) showcases the unparalleled sensitivity of ALMA at millimeter wavelengths, and offers a unique reference sample for the study of the first massive galaxies in the universe.
Detailed modeling of the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of post-starburst (or "E+A") galaxies is impeded by the degeneracy between the time elapsed since the starburst ended (post-burst age), ...the fraction of stellar mass produced in the burst (burst strength), and the burst duration. To resolve this issue, we combine GALEX ultraviolet photometry, SDSS photometry and spectra, and new stellar population synthesis models to fit the SFHs of 532 post-starburst galaxies. In addition to an old stellar population and a recent starburst, 48% of the galaxies are best fit with a second recent burst. Lower stellar mass galaxies (log M /M☉ < 10.5) are more likely to experience two recent bursts, and the fraction of their young stellar mass is more strongly anticorrelated with their total stellar mass. Applying our methodology to other, younger post-starburst samples, we identify likely progenitors to our sample and examine the evolutionary trends of molecular gas and dust content with post-burst age. We discover a significant (4 ) decline, with a 117-230 Myr characteristic depletion time, in the molecular gas to stellar mass fraction with the post-burst age. The implied rapid gas depletion rate of 2-150 M☉ yr−1 cannot be due to current star formation, given the upper limits on the current star formation rates in these post-starbursts. Nor are stellar winds or supernova feedback likely to explain this decline. Instead, the decline points to the expulsion or destruction of molecular gas in outflows, a possible smoking gun for active galactic nucleus feedback.
Cosmological simulations suggest a strong correlation between high optical-depth Ly absorbers, which arise from the intergalactic medium, and 3D mass overdensities on scales of 10-30 comoving Mpc. By ...examining the absorption spectra of ∼80,000 QSO sight lines over a volume of 0.1 Gpc3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), we have identified an extreme overdensity, BOSS1441, which contains a rare group of strong Ly absorbers at . This absorber group is associated with six QSOs at the same redshift on a 30 comoving Mpc scale. Using Mayall/MOSAIC narrowband and broadband imaging, we detect Ly emitters (LAEs) down to and reveal a large-scale structure of LAEs in this field. Our follow-up LBT observations have spectroscopically confirmed 20 galaxies in the density peak. We show that BOSS1441 has an LAE overdensity of 10.8 2.6 on a 15 comoving Mpc scale, which could collapse to a massive cluster with M 1015 at . This overdensity is among the most massive large-scale structures at discovered to date.
Background
Amyloidosis, particularly wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt), is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the aging population. The ...complexity of managing ATTRwt in older patients underscores the necessity for individualized treatment approaches, yet clinical guidelines are lacking. This case report contributes to the understanding of ATTRwt management in the elderly, emphasizing the intricacies of medication tolerance and therapeutic decision-making.
Case presentation
An 83-year-old Korean man with a history of hypertension presented with dyspnea and peripheral edema. Investigations including electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and Technetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy led to a diagnosis of ATTRwt cardiac amyloidosis. Initial management with heart failure medications, including an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, diuretic, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, was modified due to evolving clinical presentations, such as hypotension and onset of atrial fibrillation. Challenges included intolerance to beta-blockers and bleeding complications from direct oral anticoagulant therapy. The patient’s treatment journey highlighted the need for personalized management strategies in older ATTRwt patients.
Conclusions
This case illustrates the challenges in diagnosing and managing ATTRwt amyloidosis in the elderly, particularly the complexities in medication management due to the patient’s age, comorbid conditions, and side effects. It underscores the importance of a tailored approach in managing ATTRwt in older populations and highlights the need for ongoing research and development of treatment strategies tailored to this demographic.
To propose improved and innovative visual-tactile interaction design for visually impaired children, multi-modal combination approaches have been applied, such as voice interaction, touch ...interaction, and multi-modal systems, what's more, aided cognitive approaches help them deepen their understanding of objects, improve their cognitive level, and increase their interest. Methods: To improve the amount of information in the visual-haptic interface by integrating multiple sensory information, based on the cognitive patterns of visually impaired children, a questionnaire was used to design a tactile-visual UI for the main content objects of visually impaired children when using the Internet, from which difficulties and problems in the design of visual-haptic for visually impaired children were found, and design improvements were proposed based on the principles and methods of accessible design. RESULTS: The personalized and humanized design activities enhance the confidence and improve the quality of life of the visually impaired children group and produce positive effects, improving the cognitive clarity of visually impaired children while increasing their level of understanding, imagination, learning interest and aesthetic experience. Conclusion: The physical and mental characteristics and visual and tactile characteristics of visually impaired children are analyzed, and the application of UI interaction design is based on these characteristics. The essence of interaction design is outlined through experiments, and it is found that with the development of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence, visually impaired children have many difficulties in the use of the Internet, and through the improved practice of immersive interaction design, the humanized design approach is used to enhance visually impaired children's experience of using network interfaces. Through the improved practice of immersive interaction design, we improve the way of visually impaired children using the Internet, narrow the gap between them and normal children in the interaction, and give humanistic care.
