Flow and heat transfer behaviour of nanofluids in microchannels

Flow and heat transfer of aqueous based silica and alumina nanofluids in microchannels were experimentally investigated. The measured friction factors were higher than conventional model predictions at low Reynolds numbers particularly with high nanoparticle concentrations. A decrease in the friction factor was observed with increasing Reynolds number, possibly due to the augmentation of nanoparticle aggregate shape arising from fluid shear and alteration of local nanoparticle concentration and nanofluid viscosity. Augmentation of the silica nanoparticle morphology by fluid shear may also have affected the friction factor due to possible formation of a core/shell structure of the particles. Measured thermal conductivities of the silica nanofluids were in approximate agreement with the Maxwell-Crosser model, whereas the alumina nanofluids only showed slight enhancements. Enhanced convective heat transfer was observed for both nanofluids, relative to their base fluids (water), at low particle concentrations. Heat transfer enhancement increased with increasing Reynolds number and microchannel hydraulic diameter. However, the majority of experiments showed a larger increase in pumping power requirements relative to heat transfer enhancements, which may hinder the industrial uptake of the nanofluids, particularly in confined environments, such as Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).

城市疫情传播和复工强度建模及相关性分析

以多源大数据为基础构建模型,分析全国34个典型城市因疫情导致的人口迁徙变化和人力缺口,并通过迁徙基数推算其他各城市的复工强度。仿真结果证明SEIR仓室模型能够较好地模拟此次疫情发展趋势,利用其估计各城市内部新型冠状病毒感染肺炎的基本再生数,结合人力缺口对复工强度进行回顾性的矩阵分析,以总结我国此次抗疫经验。相关性分析阶段对K-means无监督聚类后的城市集群进行回归分析,结果表明对于大部分城市而言,复工强度的大小与其人力缺口、基本再生数以及人均GDP水平有明显的相关关系。     

Exome sequencing of liver fluke-associated cholangiocarcinoma

Opisthorchis viverrini-related cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a fatal bile duct cancer, is a major public health concern in areas endemic for this parasite. We report here whole-exome sequencing of eight O. viverrini-related tumors and matched normal tissue. We identified and validated 206 somatic mutations in 187 genes using Sanger sequencing and selected 15 genes for mutation prevalence screening in an additional 46 individuals with CCA (cases). In addition to the known cancer-related genes TP53 (mutated in 44.4% of cases), KRAS (16.7%) and SMAD4 (16.7%), we identified somatic mutations in 10 newly implicated genes in 14.8-3.7% of cases. These included inactivating mutations in MLL3 (in 14.8% of cases), ROBO2 (9.3%), RNF43 (9.3%) and PEG3 (5.6%), and activating mutations in the GNAS oncogene (9.3%). These genes have functions that can be broadly grouped into three biological classes: (i) deactivation of histone modifiers, (ii) activation of G protein signaling and (iii) loss of genome stability. This study provides insight into the mutational landscape contributing to O. viverrini-related CCA.

Ni-Si合金材料与Ni-Si/C复合阳极材料的结构和电化学性能研究

采用大气熔炼-机械球磨二步法制备一系列Ni-Si合金材料和Ni-Si/C复合材料,并运用X射线衍射XRD、场发射扫描电子显微镜FE-SEM和恒电流充放电等测试方法对Ni-Si合金材料和Ni-Si/C复合阳极材料的结构和电化学性能进行了研究.结果表明,Ni-Si合金材料的放电比容量随着Si含量的增加呈上升趋势,但第1周材料充放电的库仑效率下降;采用炭包覆法制备的Ni-Si/C复合阳极材料与Ni-Si合金材料相比,其电化学循环性能大幅度提升,Ni-Si/C复合阳极材料第10周放电比容量保持分数是Ni-Si合金材料的6倍左右,这是因为机械球磨使炭粉均匀地分布在合金颗粒之间,提高了复合阳极材料的导电性.     

Design of an air-slot mode-gap nanocavity in a two dimensional photonic crystal slab

We present a novel and simple design of an air-slot mode-gap photonic crystal(PC) nanocavity by introducing a linear air slot to the center of a line-defect waveguide in a two dimensional triangular-lattice silicon PC slab.A high quality factor(Q factor) of 8.42*105 and an ultrasmall mode volume of 0.998 cubic wavelength are achieved in an optimized air-slot nanocavity which is a suitable choice for the strong matter-field interaction in free space.The high Q cavities with ultrasmall mode volume are important for applications such as quantum computation and nonlinear optics.
