Magnetic fibrous membrane used to generate heat under the alternating magnetic field (AMF) has attracted wide attention due to their application in magnetic hyperthermia. However, there is not magnetic fibrous membrane prepared by melt electrospinning (e-spinning) which is a solvent-free, bio-friendly technology. In this work, polycaprolactone (PCL)/Fe3O4 fiber membrane was prepared by melt e-spinning and using homemade self-powered portable melt e-spinning apparatus. The hand-held melt e-spinning ...

The micro-morphology of leaf epidermises is valuable for the study of leaf development and function, as well as the classification of plant species. There have been few studies comparing different preparation and imaging methods for visualizing the leaf epidermis. Here, four specimen preparation methods were used to investigate the leaf epidermis morphology of Arabidopsis, radish, cucumber, wheat, rice, and maize, under an inverted basic light microscope (LM), a laser scanning confocal microscope ( ...

Nestmate discrimination allows social insects to recognize nestmates from non-nestmates using colony-specific chemosensory cues, which typically evoke aggressive behavior toward non-nestmates. Functional analysis of genes associated with nestmate discrimination has been primarily focused on inter-colonial discrimination in Hymenopterans, and parallel studies in termites, however, are grossly lacking. To fill this gap, we investigated the role of two genes, Orco and 5-HTT, associated with chemosensation ...

Eusocial termites have a complex caste system, which leads to the division of labor. Previous studies offered some insight into the caste differentiation in lower termites; however, few studies were focusing on the molecular mechanisms of higher termites with sophisticated societies. Comparative transcriptomic analyses of five immature castes of a higher termite, Macrotermes barneyi Light, suggest that phenotypic plasticity is modulated by an array of transcriptional changes, including differentially ...

In this paper, a novel electrostatic-assisted melt blown process was reported to produce polypropylene (PP) microfibers with a diameter as fine as 600 nm. The morphology, web structure, pore size distribution, filtration efficiency, and the stress and strain behavior of the PP nonwoven fabric thus prepared were characterized. By introducing an electrostatic field into the conventional melt-blown apparatus, the average diameter of the melt-blown fibers was reduced from 1.69 to 0.96 μm with the experimental ...

In this paper, we report an interesting bubble melt electrospinning (e-spinning) to produce polymer microfibers. Usually, melt e-spinning for fabricating ultrafine fibers needs "Taylor cone", which is formed on the tip of the spinneret. The spinneret is also the bottleneck for mass production in melt e-spinning. In this work, a metal needle-free method was tried in the melt e-spinning process. The "Taylor cone" was formed on the surface of the broken polymer melt bubble, which was produced by an airflow. ...

Melt electrospinning has attracted a lot of interest due to its advantages such as being solvent-free, low-cost and so on. However, previously reported melt electrospinning devices were usually complicated due to their necessary heating system. Moreover, the electrical heating system may cause electrostatic interference during the melt electrospinning process. For simplification, we designed a portable melt electrospinning setup based on an alcohol lamp (or a candle/lighter) as a heat source, which ...

A Gd and Mg co-doped ceria electrolyte Ce0.85Gd0.1Mg0.05O1.9 (CGM) was prepared by sol–gel method. Its conductivity behavior was studied and compared with those of singly doped ceria electrolytes Ce0.9Mg0.1O1.9 (CM10) and Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (CGO). By using CGM as the electrolyte, a fuel cell was fabricated with a Ni/CGM anode and a La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF)/CGM composite cathode. Its performance was compared with that of CGO based fuel cells. Both the CM10 and CGM electrolytes were ceria based solid ...

In conventional solution electrospinning, the morphologies (e.g., spheres, beaded fibers, and fibers) of electrospun products can be controlled by solution concentration. Here, we report that the morphologies and structures of polylactic acid (PLA) via melt electrospinning also can be adjusted from microfibers to microspheres by simply increasing the spinning temperature. It was found that with temperature increasing from 200 °C to 240 °C, the average diameter of melt-electrospun PLA fibers decreased ...

Abstract Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, and adherence to host cells is a key step in the pathogenic process. Although trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) were identified in many pathogenic bacteria in recent years, none in A. pleuropneumoniae have been characterized. In this study, we identified a TAA from A. pleuropneumoniae , Apa, and characterized the contribution of its amino acid residues to the adhesion process. Sequence analysis of the ...

TNQ exhibited large two-photon absorption cross sections at 710 nm (250 GM) and excellent ratiometric two-photon fluorescent detection signal for hydrazine. TNQ was also successfully applied to selectively detect hydrazine vapor even at a concentration down to 0.05%. Cell cytotoxicity and bio-imaging studies revealed that probe TNQ was cell-permeable and could ...

The compositional heterogeneity in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) has been reported to be an inherent entity, which significantly alters the mechanical properties of materials by tuning the variation of lattice resistance for dislocation motion. However, since the body-centered cubic (BCC) structure is not close-packed, the change of lattice resistance is less sensitive to the normal concentration wave compared to that in face-centered cubic (FCC) structured materials. In this work, we selected a refractory ...

Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is shown to not only improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) but also activate the immune system. Considering the immune-activating function of IRE, IRE may enhance the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of LAPC. We aimed to compare the effect and safety of IRE combined with toripalimab versus IRE alone for LAPC. Methods: We retrospectively collected data from LAPC patients treated with IRE ...

Experimental results including X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the alloys with a low V/Zr ratio presents a single-phase body-centred cubic (BCC) solid solution structure, while a small amount of V2Zr phase appears in ...
