Auxetic metamaterials have received wide attention due to their idiosyncratic physical properties. In this paper, experiments and simulations were performed to study the mechanical and acoustic properties of a 3D anti-chiral auxetic metamaterial subjected to quasi-static loading. The results shows that Poisson's ratio of the designed metamaterial can be changed from −0.45 to 0.35 with different cell parameters. Acoustic tests show that the designed metamaterial provides an ultra-wide phononic bandgap and exhibits outstanding wave attenuation properties. By applying rational tensile/compression force, the bandgap is widened/narrowed, which indicates the tunability of the bandgap through deformation. Moreover, the bandgap tuning is through all high symmetry points in the Brillouin zone due to the iso-auxeticity of the metamaterial. This study provides a possible way for controlling the bandgap with the deformable metamaterial.
Acute anhydrous ammonia burns is relatively rare but lethal, and often occurs as a mass occupational incident worldwide. Anhydrous ammonia mainly lead to severe inhalation injury and skin/mucosa wound because of its high water solubility and strong alkalinity. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by inhalation injury is the main cause of death. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support, has been recommended as as the salvage treatment for severe ARDS based on low level evidence. However, the application of ECMO in ammonia burns is still limited. Here, we presented two cases of anhydrous ammonia burn patients, one 62-year-old man with 15% total body surface area (TBSA) and one 47-year-old man with 27% TBSA, accompanying severe inhalation injury. They both developed severe ARDS and started vv ECMO on 3, 6, 15 days after injury, respectively. ECMO lasted 118, 247, and 72 hours, respectively. All ECMO were successfully weaned off although only one patient survived. Meanwhile, one patient had the coagulopathy complication of ECMO, mainly including bleeding, deep vein thrombosis and hemolysis. In conclusion, this report provided evidence for use of ECMO as supportive care in ammonia burn patients with severe ARDS.
Abstract. The knowledge service platform is seen as the vital intermediaries in innovation cycle, and for users to locate, exchange and acquire knowledge in a systematic way. It is increasingly recognizing the powerful role that knowledge service platform provide in building a national innovation capacity. The knowledge service platforms in the China's national innovation system, mostly based on the digital libraries, are supported and constructed by diverse departments and systems. These platforms disperse in construction, have respective division and orientation. However, along with the development of information technology and the revolution of innovation model, the requirements for the reconstruction of knowledge service platform in innovation system are brought forward. In this paper, we analyze the resources integration framework of the existing public service platform, and put forward the architecture of the public knowledge service platform based on collaborative innovation; we also discuss its concrete implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
