A novel 16-channel fixed frequency Doppler backward scattering (DBS) reflectometer system has been developed on the HL-2A tokamak. This system is based on the filter-based feedback loop microwave source (FFLMS) technique, which has lower phase noise and lower power variation compared with present tunable frequency generation and comb frequency array generation techniques [J. C. Hillesheim et al. Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 083507 (2009) and W. A. Peebles et al. Rev. Sci. Instrum. 81, 10D902 (2010)]. The 16- ...

The performances of 1–3 piezocomposite materials under various poling conditions were compared and analysed. The dielectric, piezoelectric, and electromechanical properties of 1–3 piezocomposite materials were studied with variations in the electric field amplitude (Ep), poling frequency (f), and number of cycles (C). It was found that the piezoelectric coefficient (d33), free dielectric constant (ε33T/ε0), and electromechanical coupling factor (kt) of 1–3 piezocomposite materials exhibit an increase ...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is characterized by renal fibrosis, is a major complication of diabetes, a disease that afflicted more than 460 million people worldwide in 2019. Pyroptosis is an essential signaling pathway in DN-related injuries, such as renal fibrosis. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a naturally occurring bioactive compound that protects human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells from oxidative stress-induced damage caused by high glucose concentrations. However, the nature and underlying mechanism ...

Currently, the poling condition selection for KNN-based ceramics still requires an inefficient and time-consuming empirical attempt process owing to the lack of relevant theoretical guidance. Herein, the dynamic hysteresis relations and polarization reversal behavior of KNNS-BNZ-Ba ceramics were explored to guide the poling condition selection. The scaling relations of the loop area on electric field amplitude E0 and frequency f were determined. The three-stages E0-dependent scaling relation and ...

In order to reveal the mechanism underlying the sperm quality decrease caused by heat stress, we first established a mild heat-treated mouse model. Then, the sperm quality was identified. Further, the testicular proteome profile was mapped and compared with the control using 2D electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Finally, the differential expressed proteins involved in the heat stress ...

Recently, the CDF and D{\O} collaborations have claimed that the CP violating phase in $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing is large, which is contrary to the expectations in the Standard Model. Such a large phase suggests New Physics contributions to $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing. Motivated by this, we reevaluate the constraints on R-parity violating contributions, including baryon number violating couplings not considered before, to the mixing mass matrix element $M^s_{12}$ from the recent measurements of $B_s^ ...
