Dr Jingzhou Yang (Research associate in UWA's School of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering), Winthrop Professor Xiaozhi Hu (UWA's Advanced Materials Team Leader) and Professor Zhaohui Huang (China University of Geosciences Beijing's High Performance Ceramics Team Leader) have created a unique composite that resists wear under .
Dr Yang and his colleagues developed the new Iron-Sialon ceramic matrix composite from very common and cheap ferro-silicon alloy and commercial-grade industrial alumina powders.
"Most thermal power plants use circulating fluid bed boilers which require high-temperature wear-resistant linings," Dr Yang said.
"In China, Australia and other countries, power supply relies mainly on coal firing.
This requires high-temperature, wear-resistant linings and components.
The alumina-based ceramic linings currently in use are fairly cheap but their resistance to wear, fracture and thermal shock isn't good enough.
"Because of this, power plants need to be stopped for long periods to repair worn equipment, which reduces the reliability of the power supply.
"We undertook research to develop a new, more wear-resistant ceramic matrix composite."
The development of the new composite involved sintering - or heating industrial alumina and ferro-silicon alloy powders at a temperature below their melting point - at up to 1700 degrees Celcius - in nitrogen for several hours.
The alumina then transforms to the more wear-resistant , Sialon.
Dr Yang, a materials scientist, won second prize in the China Land and Resources Scientific and Technological Awards and has two invention patents pending in China for high-temperature materials.
His research is supported by the National Science Foundation of China, and UWA via a Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics development grant.

JCEM：多囊卵巢综合征与多种疾病有关
JCEM：多囊卵巢综合征与多种疾病有关澳大利亚学者发表在《临床内分泌和代谢学杂志》（JCEM）的一项大型回顾性研究揭示， 多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）患者出现其它疾病的风险将增加，包括心血管疾病、代谢性疾病、心理性疾病、肿瘤性疾病和生殖功能异常等。　　作者收集了自1980年起确诊PCOS的患者病例资料，所有患者的年龄均在15岁以上，纳入研究时平均年龄达36岁。同时选取一个25660名非PCOS患者的匹配队列。　　结果显示，PCOS患者的住院率和死亡率均较非PCOS患者高出约2倍。　　本研究的主要作者，来自西澳大学的生殖学荣誉教授Roger Hart, MD说，这项研究是目前最大型且时间跨度最久的PCOS对照研究。研究揭示的疾病风险差异令人吃惊。　　他指出，此前亦有很多研究指出PCOS患者面临许多健康问题，但这些研究规模较小且持续时间较短。　　Dr Hart说：“临床医生必须跟PCOS患者强调，她们面临较高的心血管和代谢性疾病风险，应鼓励这些患者维持良好的生活习惯以降低长远的患病风险。”　　他特别强调，PCOS患者的心理疾病风险可能被低估。　　来自纽约西奈山医学院的临床医学教授Rhoda Cobin, MD同期发表评论。他指出，PCOS并非单纯的妇产科疾病，它与多种疾病存在显著关联。医生需要重视患者的主诉，但同时也需要从整体评估其健康状况，包括可能引起心脏病、脑卒中和糖尿病的风险因子，即使年轻患者也应如此。　　她同时指出，目前的PCOS诊断标准仍存在混淆的地方，对于部分未合并雄激素过多症的患者，其病情可能并不严重。此外，本研究所统计的患者均为年轻女性，其心血管疾病和代谢性疾病相关并发症可能少于老年群体。　　以上内容根据下文整理、翻译：　　Women with polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） are at elevated risk for a number of long-term adverse cardiovascular, metabolic, psychological, oncologic, and reproductive health consequences, a new Australian study indicates.　　The researchers studied medical records of 2566 women over 15 years of age with a PCOS diagnosis from 1980 until they reached a median age of almost 36 years, and age-matched them to 25,660 women without PCOS. On average, those with PCOS had twice as many hospital admissions and were twice as likely to die during the study period.　　&This is the largest and longest study of its kind to look at the health implications of a PCOS diagnosis in comparison to a non-PCOS control group… The consistency of the results and magnitude of the difference was startling,& lead author Roger Hart, MD, Winthrop Professor of Reproductive Medicine, University of Western Australia, Perth, told Medscape Medical News.　　Previous studies have suggested that women with PCOS have a variety of health problems in later life, but the studies were generally small and of short duration, he noted.　　&Clinicians must emphasize the predisposition of these women to cardiometabolic disease and encourage patients with PCOS to adopt a healthy lifestyle to reduce their lifelong risks of developing these conditions,& Dr Hart said.　　He also stressed that the &relevance and significance of the predisposition of women with PCOS to mental health disorder is perhaps underestimated.&　　Asked to comment, Rhoda Cobin, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY and an expert in PCOS, told Medscape Medical News that the new study &adds something to the literature, because it points out that PCOS is not simply an obstetrical condition and that it can be associated with significant medical morbidity… The doctor needs to look at this person not as somebody he or she is treating for one specific complaint, but look at the whole person and realize she's at risk of serious medical issues that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes, even at a young age.&　　She added a caveat, though, that there has been confusion about the diagnostic criteria for PCOS, and definitions that don't require hyperandrogenism probably select for a less-severely affected population.　　Moreover, she told Medscape Medical News that the women in this study were relatively young, &so the impact on cardiovascular disease and diabetes complications would be expected to be less than in older women.&
