Moreover, the structure with aratio of RQ ranges in 4.5e5.0 achieves a better heat transfer performance. Finally, two colorcontour graphs showing an optimal range of Nusselt number coordinated by unit numbers(nx, nz) for pumping powers of 2500 and 3000 have been presented. The graphs correctly reflectthe variation of Nusselt numbers of structures with different nx and nz, and the conclusionsremain consistent with the discussion in sections 4.2 and 4.3, instructing the reasonable selec-tion of structural parameters of a thermal protection system embedded with WB structure.展开更多

In this work, we designed a linear DNA brick containing one duplex with two cytosine(C)-rich sequence on both ends. This brick can first assemble to form duplex under p H 8 condition. After adjusting the p H to 5, the C-rich sequence tends to form intermolecular i-motif structure, which joins the linear DNA molecules together to form interlocked cyclic structures and yield the DNA hydrogel. By adjusting the length and bending curvature of the duplex part of the molecule, one can change the basic unit of the hydrogel structure to tune the properties of the DNA hydrogel.展开更多
