The MCrAlY(M=Ni, Co or NiCo)has become a widely used bond-coat material of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) due to its advantages of high-temperature oxidation resistance and high thermal expansion coefficient, with the continuous increase in turbine inlet temperature of aero engines and gas turbines. However, the stress distribution at the interface between the bond and top coating in thermal barrier coatings becomes more complicated under a high-temperature service environment. The failure of the bond-coat leads to the spalling of the top coating, which limits the development of the thermal protection coating field. The development process of the bond-coat was briefly described.The failure behavior of the bond-coat interface due to high-temperature phase transition, increased thermal and growth stresses, and S-element diffusion was focused on, and the failure mechanism of the bond-coat interface was analyzed. The research on improving the bond-coat interface failure at home and abroad was summarized. The synergistic strengthening of MCrAlY by rare earth and nanoparticles is proposed, which provides a research direction for the future optimization design of thermal bond-coat systems.

Background: Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) has become increasingly popular for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); however, its clinical impact remains a topic of debate. Furthermore, there is a gap between the guidelines and the actual clinical practices in mechanical ventilation management for ARDS. This survey aimed to explore the utilization of APRV and mechanical ventilation strategies for ARDS in Chinese intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians. Methods: A comprehensive 34‐item survey was distributed online platforms amongst ICU clinicians across mainland China from June to August 2019. Results: A total of 420 valid responses were collected, with 57.4% (241) originating from academic hospitals and 42.6% (179) from non‐academic hospitals. Of the respondents, 98.6% (414) recognized the significance of low tidal volume ventilation for ARDS prognosis, 85.2% adhered to a tidal volume below 8 mL/kg predicted body weight, and most (46.4%) selected the initial positive end‐expiratory pressure within the range of 5–10 cmH2O based on experience. Among the respondents, 62.1% (261) reported familiarity with APRV and 41.9% (176) had implemented APRV. Of those who had utilized APRV, 93.2% (164) believed in its effectiveness for ARDS patients and 69.3% (122) advocated for early application of APRV. Substantial variations were noted regarding APRV initiation settings and the preservation of spontaneous breathing during APRV. Academic hospitals exhibited higher usage rates of lung recruitment, neuromuscular blockade, prone ventilation, and acquaintance with and utilization of APRV compared to non‐academic hospitals (all p values ≤ 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings highlight opportunities for improvement in mechanical ventilation management for ARDS, particularly in non‐academic hospitals. Additionally, a significant proportion of clinicians demonstrated limited knowledge of APRV, and there was a lack of consensus on its application. Further training and larger‐scale clinical trials are required to validate the efficacy and utilization of APRV in managing ARDS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Clothing is a creation in the process of human survival and development. With the continuous development of the economy and the improvement of human living standards, the process of historical evolution is accelerating. The concept of clothing art design is no longer limited to practical functions, but extends to abstract functions such as aesthetics and artistic sense of clothing. This also promotes the expansion of the connotation of clothing art design concept, injects new soul into the shaping of clothing brands, and creates conditions for the diversified development of clothing brands.The article focuses on two directions: brand image shaping and brand culture shaping, and deeply analyzes the new trend of clothing consumption in the current era. It introduces the use of art design concepts, attempts to explore the shaping of clothing enterprise brand image and brand culture under art design concepts, and ultimately verifies the broad application prospects of art design concepts in clothing brand shaping.

The fracture behavior of high-profile high-entropy alloy coating was characterized by in-situ TEM tensile testing. The samples for in-situ TEM tensile testing were obtained by FIB technology. The results show that irrelevant to phase constitution, the Young's module, fracture strength and ultimate elongation are measured as ∼107 GPa, ∼2.70 GPa and ∼2.6%, respectively. Transcrystalline fracture and cleavage fracture with the cleavage plane of {112} are observed evidentially and the evolution of the dislocation motion in the material could be directly connected with the fracture behavior from the recorded movies obtained by a Gatan CCD camera. The engineering stress-strain curve is nearly linearity, however, a slight deviation away from linearity could be noted in the end of engineering stress-strain curve, which is attributed that the extra elastic deformation results in part of continued deformation.
