An Amperometric Sensor with Anti-Fouling Properties for Indicating Xylazine Adulterant in Beverages by Arielle Vinnikov, Charles W. Sheppard, Ann H. Wemple, Joyce E. Stern, Michael C. Leopold

“…The sensing strategy features layer-by-layer (LBL) modification of glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for sensitivity and the engagement of cyclodextrin host–guest chemistry in conjunction with polyurethane (PU) semi-permeable membranes for selectivity. The optimization of different materials and parameters during development created a greater fundamental understanding of the interfacial electrochemistry, allowing for a more informed subsequent design of effective sensors exhibiting XYL selectivity, effective sensitivity, rapid response times (<20 s), and low estimated limits of detection (~1 ppm). …”

Thermal comfort and energy-saving retrofits: An empirical study in high-altitude regions by Wenjing Sun, Lixing Chen, Yingzi Zhang, Baimu Suolang, Lele Yuan, Kai Liu, Yong Xia, Yuan Chen

“…The results indicate the following: (1) The synergistic application of passive solar heat gain and high/low-heat-capacity materials is the most suitable passive strategy for Lhasa; (2) optimizing external wall insulation, window materials, and increasing the window-to-wall ratio significantly enhances indoor thermal comfort levels but requires further integration with humidity control and thermal storage strategies; (3) for the retrofitting of envelope structures on different orientations and floors, differentiated strategies should be adopted based on local climate conditions and surrounding environmental characteristics to optimize thermal performance; (4) Retrofitting existing buildings should address both winter heat gain needs and indoor humidity and ventilation, achieved through indoor greenery and optimized ventilation strategies for precise temperature and humidity control. …”

Study on Structure and Seepage Control Safety of Second-Phase Cofferdam in Datengxia Water Conservancy Project by ZUO Yongzhen, CHEN Liang, XU Han, LI Bo, CHEN Jinsong

“…The second-phase earth-rock cofferdam in the Datengxia Water Conservancy Project is one of the most important temporary buildings,and its design and construction reflect major key technologies of the Datengxia Water Conservancy Project.In order to ensure the safety of the second-phase deepwater cofferdam project,a special scientific research demonstration was conducted on the structure and seepage control safety of the second-phase deepwater cofferdam.In view of the difficulty in determining the density of the cofferdam formed by deepwater dumping and the feasibility of the anti-seepage system with a single anti-seepage wall connected to the geomembrane,experimental research was carried out through the centrifugal model test,so as to determine the underwater dumping density and angle of repose,the mechanical characteristics of cofferdam filler,the shear characteristics of the interface between filler and plastic concrete,and the characteristics of plastic concrete materials.The finite element analysis of stress deformation and the seepage stability analysis of the cofferdam were carried out,and the safety analysis evaluation and the section optimization design of the cofferdam were performed.The second-phase cofferdam has undergone two flood seasons of safe water retention operation,with a small total seepage flow,slight maximum settlement,and low horizontal displacement.The scientific research work has well supported the design requirements.…”

Study on the Structure and Properties of M2 Coating Prepared by Ultrahigh-Speed Laser Cladding Technology by WANG Jingshi, GE Chengjie, ZHANG Qinhao, REN Lu, CHEN Xiuyong, SUO Xinkun

“…As a new type of surface engineering technology， ultrahigh-speed laser cladding technology has the advantages of rapid processing，precision control， and low thermal influence， which is applicable to the preparation of coatings on a variety of materials.In order to study the effect of cladding speed on the microstructure and properties of M2 coatings， M2 coatings were prepared on the surface of Q235 steel using ultrahigh-speed laser cladding technology.The influence of cladding speed on the microstructure and properties of the coatings was studied.The microstructure， phase composition， hardness， wear resistance， and corrosion resistance of the coatings were tested using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)， X-ray diffraction (XRD)， a hardness tester， a tribometer， and an electrochemical workstation， respectively.Results showed that at a cladding speed of 1.2 m/min， the coating was seamlessly bonded to the substrate， with a microhardness of 757.1 HV， a friction coefficient of 0.448， and a corrosion current density&#x00A0;Jcorr&#x00A0;of 1.98 &#x00D7; 10-6&#x00A0;A/cm2.As the cladding speed increased， gaps appeared at the coating-substrate interface， grain size decreased， dilution rate decreased， hardness increased， and friction coefficient decreased.At a cladding speed of 40.0 m/min， larger cracks formed at the coating-substrate interface， with an equivalent average grain diameter of 1.76 μm， a dilution rate of 6.8%， an average microhardness of 828.1 HV， an average friction coefficient of 0.345， and a corrosion current density&#x00A0;Jcorr&#x00A0;of 1.26 &#x00D7;10-7&#x00A0;A/cm2.The cladding speed had a significant impact on the macroscopic morphology and performance of the ultra-high-speed laser cladding coatings.With increasing cladding speed，cracks appeared in the coating region，while the equivalent diameter of the grains decreased and the hardness， wear resistance， and corrosion resistance improved.The phase composition of all coatings consisted of martensite， retained austenite， and carbides.This work provides a theoretical basis for the preparation and parameter optimization of M2 high-speed steel materials.…”
