摘要:
Breathable and comfortable sensing textiles that can detect multi-biomarkers existing in human sweat are a promising way to achieve comprehensive health monitoring in our daily life. However, current wearable and flexible electrochemical textiles lack stretchability, which can result in unstable signals or device damage during movement. Additionally, these textiles have limited integration of multiple indicators, needing a large surface area and a significant amount of sweat to activate the sensors. Herein, we report an integrated all-in-one multifunctional electrochemical biosensor fiber constructed with a helical core-sheath structure, offering the stretchability and ability to detect biomarkers with trace amounts of sweat. The biosensor was fabricated by arranging multi-functionalized carbon nanotube strips in a spiral pattern alongside a pre-stretched polymer fiber core acting as microelectrodes with robust interface. Additionally, a super-hydrophilic sheath layer is incorporated to enhance the sweat capture efficiency of the biosensor. The biosensor has the capability to simultaneously monitor six biomarkers including pH, K+, Na+, glucose, lactate and uric acid, demonstrating stable sensing performance under 300% strain. Merely 1 of sweat is needed to initiate the detection of all six biomarkers. The resulting textile sensing system presents continuous and real-time monitoring of multi-biomarker information, allowing for the assessment of our health condition.
摘要:
Wood-derived carbon, with its strong tracheid array structure, is an ideal material for use as a self-supporting electrode in supercapacitors. By leveraging the inherent through pore structure and surface affinity found in wood tracheids, we successfully engineered a highly spatially efficient cube-templated porous carbon framework inside carbonized wood tracheid cavities through precise control over precursor crystallization temperatures. This innovative cubic channel architecture effectively maximizes up to (79±1)% of the cavity volume in wood-derived carbon while demonstrating exceptional hydrophilicity and high conductivity properties, facilitating the development of supercapacitors with enhanced areal/volumetric capacitances (2.65F cm(-2)/53.0F cm(-3) at 5.0mAcm(-2)) as well as superior areal/volumetric energy densities (0.37 mWh cm(-2)/7.36 mWh cm(-3) at 2.5 mW cm(-2)). The fabrication of these cube-templated channels with high cube filling content is not only simple and precisely controllable, but also environmentally friendly. The proposed method eliminates the conventional acid-base treatment process for pore formation, facilitating the rapid development and practical implementation of thick electrodes with superior performance in supercapacitors. Moreover, it offers a universal research approach for the commercialization of wood-derived thick electrodes.

摘要:
The rational design and synthesis of carbon nanocages with highly complex porous structures are continuously facing challenges in the development of high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). The electrochemical performance characteristics of electrodes rely on their compositions and fabrication methods. Here, we propose a universal and efficient approach for the in-situ synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on porous carbonized wood, where the selective utilization of hexacarbonyl molybdenum protects the structural integrity of the ZIF-8 precursor, preventing collapse during thermal treatment. The subsequent pyrolysis process leads to the formation of small-sized molybdenum carbide (MoC) which are embedded in carbon nanocages (CN). The composite electrode consists of MoC/CN embedded in a porous carbonized wood (PCW), and it shows area-specific capacity of 9.7F cm(-2) and 9.4 F cm(-2) at 5 mA cm(-2) and 30 mA cm(-2), respectively. Subsequently, the symmetric supercapacitor, with two MoC/CN@PCW electrodes exhibits a areal specific capacitance of 2.7 F cm(-2) at 5 mA cm(-2). Moreover, this supercapacitor maintains an capacitance retention rate of 98.5% after 12,000 discharge cycles. The supercapacitor exhibits a power density of 6.5 mW cm(-2), resulting in an energy density of 0.864 mWh cm(-2). Therefore, the utilization of wood-based electrodes holds promise for energy storage systems.

摘要:
<jats:p>The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM) is extensively utilized in various fields, such as forestry, oceanography, geology, and hydrology. However, due to limitations in radar side-view imaging, the SRTM DEM still contains gaps and anomalies, particularly in areas with an intricate topography, like forests. To enhance the accuracy of the SRTM DEM in forested regions, commonly employed approaches include regression analysis and artificial neural networks (ANN). Nevertheless, existing regression methods struggle to accurately capture the intricate nonlinear relationship between the error and influencing factors. Additionally, traditional ANN models are susceptible to overfitting, resulting in subpar accuracy. Deep Belief Network (DBN) is a highly precise algorithm in deep learning. However, the intricate combination of hyperparameters often leads to limited generalization ability and model robustness when correcting DEM. The present study proposes an error prediction model based on the DBN optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for SRTM DEM correction. By utilizing the PSO algorithm, we aim to identify the optimal combination of hyperparameters of DBN, including the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the learning rates. The experiment focuses on two regions in Hunan Province, China, characterized by abundant vegetation cover. The reference data utilized for comparison is ICESat/GLAS data. The experimental results demonstrate that the mean error (ME) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the SRTM DEM corrected by the proposed algorithm in these two regions are significantly reduced by 93.5%–96.0% and 21.5%–23.5%, respectively. Moreover, there is an improvement of over 26.1% in accuracy within complex terrain areas. Specifically, in broadleaf forest, the PSO-DBN method exhibits a remarkable accuracy improvement of 26.2%, while the DBN-corrected SRTM DEM shows an improvement of 15.3%. In coniferous forest, the PSO-DBN method achieves an accuracy improvement of 14.8%, whereas the DBN-corrected SRTM DEM demonstrates a gain of 5.8%. The approach provides a more effective and robust tool for correcting SRTM DEM or other similar DEMs over vegetated mountain areas.</jats:p>

摘要:
Lenvatinib (LEN), sorafenib (SOR), and sunitinib (SUN) are drugs targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). Despite sharing similar chemical structures and bioactivities, LEN and SOR bind to different functional states of VEGFR2, viz. DFG-in and DFG-out state, respectively. SUN binds to the DFG-out state of VEGFR2 just like SOR but with less potency. Thus, detail binding mechanisms between VEGFR2 and these drugs, especially dynamic interaction, are valuable for future drug design. In the present work, molecular dynamics simulation, essential dynamic analysis, and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area were performed to these VEGFR2-drugs systems. Rank of calculated binding affinities is in accordance with the experimental data. The binding free energy calculation suggests that van der Waals interaction plays a vital role in the binding. Per-residue free energy decomposition indicates that residues L840, V848, A866, E885, L889, V899, V916, F918, C919, L1035, C1045, D1046, and F1047 play an important role in the binding between VEGFR2 and LEN/SOR. While residues L840, V848, E917, F918, C919, G922, L1035, and F1047 contribute the major hydrophobic interaction for SUN binding to the receptor. Our results also reveal that residue E885/D1046 plays a vital role in binding via forming hydrogen bonds with drugs.
