RESUMEN
Materials exhibiting high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption have garnered considerable scientific and technological attention, yet encounter significant challenges. Developing new materials and innovative structural design concepts is crucial for expanding the application field of electromagnetic wave absorption. Particularly, hierarchical structure engineering has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the physical and chemical properties of materials, providing immense potential for creating versatile electromagnetic wave absorption materials. Herein, an exceptional multi-dimensional hierarchical structure was meticulously devised, unleashing the full microwave attenuation capabilities through in situ growth, self-reduction, and multi-heterogeneous interface integration. The hierarchical structure features a three-dimensional carbon framework, where magnetic nanoparticles grow in situ on the carbon skeleton, creating a necklace-like structure. Furthermore, magnetic nanosheets assemble within this framework. Enhanced impedance matching was achieved by precisely adjusting component proportions, and intelligent integration of diverse interfaces bolstered dielectric polarization. The obtain Fe3O4-Fe nanoparticles/carbon nanofibers/Al-Fe3O4-Fe nanosheets composites demonstrated outstanding performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of - 59.3 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ - 10 dB) extending up to 5.6 GHz at 2.2 mm. These notable accomplishments offer fresh insights into the precision design of high-efficient electromagnetic wave absorption materials.
RESUMEN
This study harnessed bivariate correlational analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and tree-based regression analysis to examine the relationship between laser process parameters and the final material properties (bulk density, saturation magnetization (M s ), and coercivity (H c )) of Fe-based nano-crystalline alloys fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). A dataset comprising of 162 experimental data points served as the foundation for the investigation. Each data point encompassed five independent variables: laser power (P), laser scan speed (v), hatch spacing (h), layer thickness (t), and energy density (E), along with three dependent variables: bulk density, M s , and H c . The bivariate correlational analysis unveiled that bulk density exhibited a significant correlation with P, v, h, and E, whereas M s and H c displayed significant correlations exclusively with v and P, respectively. This divergence may stem from the strong influence of microstructure on magnetic properties, which can be impacted not only by the laser process parameters explored in this study but also by other factors such as oxygen levels within the build chamber. Furthermore, our statistical analysis revealed that bulk density increased with rising P, h, and E, while decreased with higher v. Regarding the magnetic properties, a high M s was achievable through low v, while low H c resulted from high P. It was concluded that P and v were considered as the primary laser process parameters, influencing h and t due to their control over the melt-pool size. The application of multiple linear regression analysis allowed the prediction of the bulk density by using both laser process parameters and energy density. This approach offered a valuable alternative to time-consuming and costly trial-and-error experiments, yielding a low error of less than 1 % between the mean predicted and experimental values. Although a slightly higher error of approximately 6 % was observed for M s , a clear association was established between M s and v, with lower v values corresponding to higher M s values. Additionally, a further comparison was conducted between multiple linear regression and three tree-based regression models to explore the effectiveness of these approaches.
RESUMEN
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that is affected by internal and external factors. Its prevalence is rising, and it is characterized by a continuous increase in blood glucose levels. With the deepening understanding of diabetes, it is not only necessary to explore its physiological basis, but also to explore the complex interaction between social and psychological factors. In addition to traditional risk factors, the article also highlights the psychological and social aspects of the patient 's impact on the development of diabetes. Because diabetes is not only the result of metabolic imbalances, but also the product of broader background factors, the importance of psychosocial interventions is particularly important. By examining psychosocial dimensions, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the causes of diabetes. It deeply studies the complex relationship between psychosocial factors and diabetes, and recognizes the complexity of this metabolic disorder. In addition, the article discussed interventions designed to address the psychosocial problems of diabetes, emphasizing the need to take a holistic approach to care for patients. This review explores the impact of psychological and social factors on the incidence, progression and outcome of diabetes, complementing traditional considerations such as obesity, genetic and physiological factors. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of diabetes, this article uses a social etiology perspective to emphasize the important role of social psychological factors. In the process, it has contributed to the ongoing discussion on diabetes management by incorporating a broader social context into the understanding and treatment of this general health problem.

More importantly, aramid fibers@silica aerogels have high flame retardancy with limiting oxygen index 36.5. In addition, this material fabricated by the simple preparation process is believed to have potential application value in the field of aerospace or high-temperature thermal protection.
RESUMEN
Preserving viable pollen is of great interest to breeders to maintain desirable germplasm for future inbreeding. Ultra-low temperature preservation of pollen is an effective and safe way for long-term storage of plant germplasm resources. In this study, we improved methods for the preservation of soybean pollen at ultra-low temperature. Soybean flowers at the initially-open stage were collected at 6-10 a.m. during the fully-bloom stage of soybean plants and were dehydrated for 10 h and then frozen and stored at -196 or -80°C. In vitro culture experiments showed that the viability of preserved pollen remained as high as about 90%. The off-season (local site Heihe) and off-site (Beijing, after long-distance express delivery from Heihe) hybridization verification was conducted, and no significant difference in true hybrid rate was founded between the preserved pollen and the fresh pollen. The ultra-low temperature preservation technology for soybean pollen could break the spatiotemporal limit of soybean hybridization and facilitate the development of engineered soybean breeding.
RESUMEN
The cage and ladder structured phosphorus-containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (DOPO-POSS) have been synthesized through the hydrolytic condensation of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO)-vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES). The unique ladder and cage-ladder structured components in DOPO-POSS endowed it with good solubility in vinyl epoxy resin (VE), and it was used with tetrabutyl titanate (TBT) to construct a phosphorus-silicon-titanium synergy system for the flame retardation of VE. Thermal stabilities, mechanical properties, and flame retardancy of the resultant VE composites were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), three-point bending tests, limiting oxygen index (LOI) measurement, and cone calorimetry. The experimental results showed that with the addition of only 4 wt% DOPO-POSS and 0.5 wt% TBT, the limiting oxygen index value (LOI) increased from 19.5 of pure VE to 24.2. With the addition of DOPO-POSS and TBT, the peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release (THR), smoke production rate (SPR), and total smoke production (TSP) were decreased significantly compared to VE-0. In addition, the VE composites showed improved thermal stabilities and mechanical properties comparable to that of the VE-0. The investigations on pyrolysis volatiles of cured VE further revealed that DOPO-POSS and TBT exerted flame retardant effects in gas phase. The results of char residue of the VE composites by SEM and XPS showed that TBT and DOPO-POSS can accelerate the char formation during the combustion, forming an interior char layer with the honeycomb cavity structure and dense exterior char layer, making the char strong with the formation of Si-O-Ti and Ti-O-P structures.
