The alloys are multiphase. C15 Laves phase occurs as a main phase accompanying with C14 phase and other minor phases, indicating that Ni element is C15-stabilized element for ZrMn2 alloy. The phase abundance and lattice parameters of Laves phase are influenced significantly by Ni substitution. The Zr(Mn0.45 Ni0.55)2 alloy with the highest amount of C15 phase exhibits the maximum electrochemical capacity of 242m Ah/g. C14 phase occurring in Zr-Mn-Ni alloys is beneficial for the electrochemical kinetics of hydride electrodes.展开更多

The chemically modi- fied electrodes exhilbited an excellent permselectivity for uric acid of undissociated form in an acidic medium. The current response sensitivity of uric acid at the modi- fied electrodes was markedly increased by properly anodizing activation of underly- ing electrodes and overoxidizing treatment of polypyrrole film. The voltammetric response of uric acid at the chemically modified electrode was linearly related to itinvestigatedtion in the range of 4. 0 ×10-7 -8. 0 ×10-5 mol/L in pH 5 buffer solu- tions. Ascorbic acid in less than 150-fold excess did not interfere with the voltam- metric determination of uric acid. The proposed procedure was utilized to determine uric acicl in human urine and serum samples without any pretreatment.展开更多

The polarized EL spectra with E||[110] and E || [150] directions, are extracted for different injected currents. The mode splitting of the two orthogonal polarized modes for a VCSEL device is determined, and its value increases linearly with the increasing injected current due to electro-optic birefringence; This article demonstrates that the polarized EL is a powerful tool to study the mode splitting and polarization anisotropy of a VCSEL device.展开更多

In this paper, a HCI system which based on electrooculogram (EOG) is proposed. It transforms electrical po-tentials recorded by horizontal and vertical EOG into a computer in order to control external equipment. The system consists of EOG acqui-sition unit, EOG pattern recognition part and control command output unit. Three plane elec-trodes are employed to detect EOG signals, which contain the information related to the eye blinking and vertical (or horizontal) eye move-ments referred to pre-designed command table. An online signal processing algorithm is de-signed to get the command information con-tained in EOG signals, and these commands could be used to control the computer or other instruments. Based on this HCI system, the remote control experiments driven by EOG are realized.展开更多

Makino. van communis Tsen et Lee, have been identified as allyl isothiocyanate, Z-3-hexenyl acetate, 3,7-dimethyl-l,3,6-octatriene, 2,5-hexanediol, Z-3-hexen-l-ol, nonanol, β-myrcene, α-pinene, E-2-hexen-l-ol, D-limonene, Z-3-hexenyl propanoate, linalool, geraniol, E-4-hexen-l-ol, Z-3-hexenyl isovalerate, α-terpinene, β-caryophyllene, 3-carene and α-caryophyllene, by their mass spectra and retention times in comparison with authentic samples. The first five chemicals are the main components. All components can elicite electroantennogram (EAG) responses of dia-mondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, in which allyl isothiocyanate and C6 alcohols and esters, i.e. Z-3-hexen-l-ol, E-2-hexen-l-ol, E-4-hexen-l-ol, Z-3-hexenyl isovalerate and 2,5-hexanediol elicite stronger EAG responses than other components, and EAG responses of female moths to them are slightly larger than those of male展开更多

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry techniques were applied for the investigation and comparison of bare CPE and NGMCPE surfaces. Our voltammetric and spectroscopic studies showed gold nanoparticles are enable to facilitate electron transfer between the accumulated label on DNA probe modified electrode and electrode surface and enhance the electrical signals and lead to an improved detection limit. The immobilization of a 15-mer single strand oligonucleotide probe on the working electrodes and hybridiza- tion event between the probe and its complementary sequence as a target were investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) responses of the EG accumulated on the electrodes. The effects of some experimental variables on the performance of the biosensors were investigated and optimum conditions were suggested. The selectivity of the biosensors was studied using some non-complementary oligonucleotides. Finally the detection limits were calculated as 1.35×10^-10 mol/L and 5.16×10^-11 mol/L on the CPE and NEGCPE, respectively. In addition, the bio-sensors exhibited a good selectivity, reproducibility and stability for the determination of DNA sequences.展开更多
