A virtual specimen generation procedure consisting of aggregate gradation, irregular clumps, asphalt mortar and air void content is performed based on the random generation algorithm and irregular coarse aggregates library. Then, the virtual fracture test is conducted after adding the micro mechanical contact models to the specimen, and the validity of virtual modeling is verified by the comparison of simulation test data and lab test data. Additionally, an orthogonal test is designed to investigate the impacts of the volume fraction of coarse aggregates and air voids, stiffness of coarse aggregates and asphalt mortar, internal bond strength of asphalt mortar and distribution of coarse aggregates and air voids on low-temperature fracture performance based on virtual simulation.The results showthat all the factors have effects on fracture performance to various degrees, while the value of the bond strength of asphalt mortar is found to be the most important determinant of tensile strength and strain-energy density. The volume fraction of coarse aggregates is considered to be the most important determinant of tensile strain. Therefore, to obtain a high low-temperature fracture performance of densegraded asphalt concrete, it is important to consider the microstructure and properties of asphalt mortar and aggregates.展开更多

The treated specimens sintered at 1 350 ℃ showed there was no phase transformation but whose strength and toughnesswere significantly improved （P〈0.05）, while those sintered at 1 400 ℃- 1 500 ℃ revealed a small amount of phase transformation and insignificant mechanical reinforcement （P〉0.05）. No microcracks were detected but increment in lattice volume was found in all specimens. Lowering sintering temperature favors aging resistance and mechanical reinforcement of 3Y-TZP in a simulated oral environment.展开更多

The larvae of this species are now widely used in maggot debridement therapy. Embryonic development was dependent on temperature, with a lower developmental threshold of 9.0℃. The duration of the egg stage at a rearing temperature of 25℃was 14 h, and a low temperature of 12.5℃ successfully prolonged this period to 66 h. Embryonic stages differed markedly in their cold tolerance; young embryos were less tolerant to cold than old ones. Late embryonic stages are suitable for cold storage at 5℃ and the storage for 72 h did not decrease the hatching rate by more than 50%. In the mass-rearing process required for maggot debridement therapy, either of these two simple protocols would be beneficial.展开更多
