Published: July 2020

Abstract
To explore the influence of wearing different types of masks on people’s health and comfort, an experimental study was conducted through a subjective questionnaire survey, physiological response test, and thermal imaging test. The results showed that, in a warm environment, wearing masks for a long time significantly affected the subjective feelings and physiological reactions of people. After wearing the mask, the personnel feels more hot and humid, the discomfort is significantly increased. At the same time, the mean skin temperature increases, the heart rate increases, and the blood oxygen saturation level decreases, which ultimately leads to a decline in health and comfort levels. Different types of masks have different effects on people. The effects of wearing KN95 masks, gauze masks, medical surgical masks, disposable civilian masks, disposable medical masks, and sponge masks on people’s health and comfort levels are sequentially reduced.

Authors: Zhou Yalin , Wang Xuecheng 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The transport sector, as one of the principal source of air pollution, has attracted a growing attention in academia in recent years. By employing the LMDI method, this paper focuses on the driving factors of pollution in transport sector based on the pollutant emission data of motor vehicles from 2010-2018. The results show that the production effect is the main driver for the changes of NOx and PM emissions in the transport sector, while for HC, pollution intensity effect is the largest contributor. The pollution intensity effect reduced NOx and PM emission by 307% and 381%, respectively, which plays the dominant role in reducing their emissions. Compared to other effects, the structure effect and the vehicle effect make minor contributions to the changes of pollutant emissions.

Authors: Zhang C , Jiang J S 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
During excavation of shallow tunnels, it is very important to construct primary support and secondary lining structures to guarantee the stability of tunnel surrounding rock and construction safety. Based on a subway tunnel project, in this study, the typical support and lining model is established by using the finite difference program. Stress characteristics and deformation patterns of the primary support and secondary lining structures are analysed and discussed, and the influencing mechanisms of different tunneling modes on the stress characteristics of the support and lining structures are revealed. The numerical results show that the benching excavation and support can effectively relieve the stress concentration in the primary surrounding rock support of typical subway tunnel project. The secondary lining, which is constructed after the deformations of the tunnel surrounding rock and the primary support tend to be stabilized, can strengthen and protect the tunnel surrounding rock and the primary support structure, bear part of the surrounding rock load, and serve as a safe reserve for the safety of subway tunnel projects.

Authors: Jia Pang , Qi Li , Ying Wang , Zhengyu Fan 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The courtyard type hotels are commonly seen in hot summer and cold winter region as well as hot summer and warm winter region of China. With its grown size and more complex functions, its energy consumption gets dramatically increased accordingly. Up to now, research of the design parameter impact on energy consumption for space organization in courtyard hotel is quite limited. Through numerical simulation, this study validated the influence on building loads of key design parameters including the orientation, relative position, window-to-wall ratio of the public space, and the position of the traffic core space in courtyard hotels. According to the results, for both the hot summer cold winter region and hot summer winter warm region, the lower total building load was seen when the large space is on the northern side in parallel or on northwest and southeast in diagonal layout. With the traffic space splitted and placed at the corners of the building, the lighting load increases, and leads to unsatisfactory total energy performance. For the comparative suitable plan layout, higher window-to-wall ratio of public spaces (larger than 0.3) can significantly raise the total load per unit area. The findings in this research can provide valuable references for the energy-saving design of space organization in urban courtyard-type hotel buildings.

On the basis of single factor test, the content of chlorogenic acid in polyphenol was the main factor, and the content of chlorogenic acid in polyphenol was the response value. The extraction conditions were optimized by three factors and three levels Box-Behnken test. The results showed that the relative effects of each factor on the extraction rate of Lycium barbarum L. polyphenols were as follows: extraction solvent, solid-liquid ratio and extraction times. Through the regression model analysis predicted by response surface method, the optimum extraction conditions of Lycium barbarum L. polyphenols can be predicted as follows: 72% methanol, the ratio of material to liquid is 1:19, the extraction times is 2.15 times, and the content of chlorogenic acid in Lycium barbarum is 0.0842 g/100g. In order to investigate the consistency between the test results and the real situation, the verification test was carried out. The extraction process was set to 2 times, and the content of chlorogenic acid was 0.0837 g / 100g. The predicted process conditions by regression equation are in good agreement with the actual situation, which proves that the model is effective and the process is stable and feasible.

Abstract
The main objective of the present work is to show the superiority in performance of linear thermoelectric generator (TEG) over the conventional Pi shaped thermoelectric generator. Linear thermoelectric generator with various leg lengths as well as different lengths of p-type and n-type semiconductors are modeled. Power and efficiency of the linear thermoelectric generator with various leg lengths and different lengths of p and n legs are compared at the various hot side temperatures numerically using ANSYS 19.1 commercial software. Numerically predicted power of the linear thermoelectric generator is found within 5% error with corresponding theoretical power values. Results presented that, linear thermoelectric generator with a ratio of p leg length to total leg length equal to 0.56 showed higher power output and higher efficiency for all leg lengths as well as all hot side temperatures. Maximum power and maximum efficiency for linear thermoelectric generator with 0.56 length ratio are found 6% higher than maximum power and maximum efficiency of conventional Pi shaped thermoelectric generator with 0.5 length ratio.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
This research focused on the fabrication and characterization of polycaprolactone (PCL)/nanozeolite(NZ) membrane films. PCL/NZ membrane blends were produced at varying amounts of NZ (0 wt. %, 0.5 wt. % and 1.0 wt. %).The membranes produced were characterized using a.) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in determining the surface morphologies, b.) UTM to evaluate the effect of NZ addition on the tensile strength of PCL, and c.)contact angle goniometer to investigate the effect of NZ on the wettability of PCL/NZ membrane blends. Upon characterization, the SEM result showed that increasing NZ concentration increased the presence of pores and pore-like structures on the PCL/NZ system. Also, the tensile strength of the PCL/NZ blend improved with the addition of NZ. Lastly, the contact angle measurements obtained showed enhanced membrane hydrophilicity because of the hydrophilic NZ present on the matrix. The incorporation of NZ on PCL generally improved its properties based the different characterizations conducted.
Failure of Standard Duplex Stainless Steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 under Corrosion Fatigue in Geothermal Environment
Authors: Wolf Marcus , Pfennig Anja 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Corrosion fatigue is well known to lower the lifetime expectancy of high alloyed steels. Duplex stainless steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 is a promising candidate to withstand both, corrosion and mechanical stress. Therefore, the corrosion fatigue (CF) was investigated in the Northern German Basin electrolyte at 369 K using a specifically designed corrosion chamber. CF damage was clearly related to lateral grain attack within corrosion pit cavities located perpendicular to the load applied. Additionally, multiple fatigue cracks and preferable deterioration of austenitic phase and intact ferritic phase. A delta-like micro crack structure and a curved path characterizes crack termination with little to no base metal deterioration. Crack initiation may be due to early pit formation resulting in depassivation but also due to local depassivation then resulting in pit formation–both initiation mechanisms lead to crack propagation and early failure.

AbstractThe surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V substrate was carried out by plasma spraying method (WC-17%Co). The surface morphology and composition of the coating were analyzed. Then, under the air environment, the surface of the plasma sprayed WC was carried out. Friction test of three pairs of friction materials filled with 15% glass fiber + 5% graphite, PTFE filled with 25% glass fiber, and PTFE filled with 60% tin bronze. The treated material improves the friction characteristics of the substrate. However, due to the large thickness and hardness of plasma spraying, it is difficult to use sandpaper to reduce the surface roughness, which will affect the dimensional accuracy of the parts.

Authors: Kong Linchun , Chai Changchun , Song Yanxing , Zhang Wei , Zhang Zheren , Yang Yintang 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Two novel phases of SiC are put forward in this paper, in which the crystal structural, mechanical, and electronic properties, as well as effective mass and carrier mobility of SiC in the Pnnm phase (Pnnm-SiC) and Pm phase (Pm-SiC) are researched utilizing first principles calculations. Both of the novel SiC phases are certificated to have good mechanical and dynamic stability. Through analysis of the three-dimensional perspective of Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio, visible anisotropies of mechanical properties are found. The band structure calculations predict two wide bandgap semiconductors, that the Pnnm-SiC is an indirect with a bandgap value of 3.12 eV, While the Pm-SiC is a quasi-direct with a bandgap value of 2.64 eV, which indicates the Pm-SiC has a higher application potential in the optoelectronic device area. An extremely large electronic mobility (7200 cm2 V−1s−1) is found in the Pnnm-SiC. Based on the wide band gap, large carrier mobility, good mechanical and dynamic stability, the Pnnm-SiC is a promising material in the field of high performance electronic device in harsh environment.
Block polypropylene/styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene tri-block copolymer blends for recyclable HVDC cable insulation
Authors: Liang Yue , Weng Ling , Zhang Wenlong , Li Chunyu 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) is regarded as the most promising candidate for eco-friendly high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable insulation material due to its excellent thermal and electrical properties. In this paper, a block polypropylene (BPP) was selected as the matrix and blended with styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene tri-block copolymer (SEBS) by melt blending. The thermal behavior, dynamic mechanical behavior, crystallization behavior, and mechanical and electrical properties of the BPP/SEBS blends were investigated. It was found that SEBS could efficiently improve the flexibility while maintaining the excellent heat resistance of PPB. Furthermore, adding an appropriate amount of SEBS had a positive effect on suppressing the space charge and increasing the breakdown field strength. For the BPP/SEBS blend containing 20 wt% SEBS, a desirable combination of thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties was achieved. This work may help pave the way for developing eco-friendly PP insulating material in HVDC cable applications.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists) account for an increasing proportion of traffic injuries. We used a case-crossover study design to examine the association between cell-phone usage and traffic injuries among pedestrians, bicyclists, and electric bicycle riders during the course of their travel. We studied 643 pedestrians, bike riders, and electric bike riders aged 10–35 years who were involved in a road injury, visited the emergency department in one of the 3 hospitals in Shanghai, China, in 2019, and owned a cell phone. Half of the participants (n = 323; 50.2%) had used a cell phone within 1 minute before the injury happened. A pedestrian’s or rider’s use of a mobile phone up to 1 minute before a road injury was associated with a 3-fold increase in the likelihood of injury (odds ratio = 3.00, 95% confidence interval: 2.04, 4.42; P &lt; 0.001). The finding was consistent across subgroups by sex, occupation, reason for travel, mode of transportation, and location of injury. Use of a cell phone when walking or riding was associated with an increased risk of road injury. Measures should be taken to make people aware of this detrimental impact on the risk of road injury.
UEP: an open-source and fast classifier for predicting the impact of mutations in protein–protein complexes
Authors: Amengual-Rigo Pep , Fernández-Recio Juan , Guallar Victor 
Published: July 2020

Abstract

Motivation
Single protein residue mutations may reshape the binding affinity of protein–protein interactions. Therefore, predicting its effects is of great interest in biotechnology and biomedicine. Unfortunately, the availability of experimental data on binding affinity changes upon mutation is limited, which hampers the development of new and more precise algorithms. Here, we propose UEP, a classifier for predicting beneficial and detrimental mutations in protein–protein complexes trained on interactome data.

Results
Regardless of the simplicity of the UEP algorithm, which is based on a simple three-body contact potential derived from interactome data, we report competitive results with the gold standard methods in this field with the advantage of being faster in terms of computational time. Moreover, we propose a consensus selection procedure by involving the combination of three predictors that showed higher classification accuracy in our benchmark: UEP, pyDock and EvoEF1/FoldX. Overall, we demonstrate that the analysis of interactome data allows predicting the impact of protein–protein mutations using UEP, a fast and reliable open-source code.
