Color,Time,Layering and Preservation

The preservation of polychromy in 20th century architecture is here considered from both theoretical and operational perspectives.A further theme is that of polymatericity,which addresses issues related to the experimental context with reference to the materials and technologies employed.The passage of time and the lack of durability of innovative materials,the transformations and the presence of forms of alteration and degradation,pose problems related to the will and the possibility of preserving layering,without falling into the restoration of the presumed original document,in relation to the authorial project documentation and the underlying theories.

Enlightenment of the 2014 Asian Floriculture Cup for Flower Arrangement Development in China

Based on work characteristics in Asian Cup of Floriculture in 2014, the research made analysis on innovation, design concept, theme, color arrangement and material applications and it is concluded from the comparisons with Japanese players that Chinese flower arrangement should prepare in terms of preparation be-fore competition, international game rules and details, innovation exploration, theme creativity, design thoughts, training of backup staff, exploration of characteristic flow-ers, guidance and protection from related policies to integrate oriental and western arts and achieve success.

The Equilibrium of Fractional Derivative and Second Derivative: The Mechanics of a Power-Law Visco-Elastic Solid

This paper investigates the equilibrium of fractional derivative and 2nd derivative, which occurs if the original function is damped (damping of a power-law viscoelastic solid with viscosities η of 0 ≤ η ≤ 1), where the fractional derivative corresponds to a force applied to the solid (e.g. an impact force), and the second derivative corresponds to acceleration of the solid’s centre of mass, and therefore to the inertial force. Consequently, the equilibrium satisfies the principle of the force equilibrium. Further-more, the paper provides a new definition of under- and overdamping that is not exclusively disjunctive, i.e. not either under- or over-damped as in a linear Voigt model, but rather exhibits damping phases co-existing consecutively as time progresses, separated not by critical damping, but rather by a transition phase. The three damping phases of a power-law viscoelastic solid—underdamping, transition and overdamping—are characterized by: underdamping—centre of mass oscillation about zero line;transition—centre of mass reciprocation without crossing the zero line;overdamping—power decay. The innovation of this new definition is critical for designing non-linear visco-elastic power-law dampers and fine-tuning the ratio of under- and overdamping, considering that three phases—underdamping, transition, and overdamping—co-exist consecutively if 0 < η < 0.401;two phases—transition and overdamping—co-exist consecutively if 0.401 < η < 0.578;and one phase— overdamping—exists exclusively if 0.578 < η < 1.

Preface:Innovative electrode materials for supercapacitors

Portable electrical power sources play increasingly vital roles in our daily lives due to the widespread use of mobile electronic devices and electrical vehicles.Electrochemical capacitors,also referred as supercapacitors(SCs)or ultracapacitors,are an important type of energy storage system with superior advantages of rapid power delivery and recharging compared to other types of energy storage systems.In practice,SCs have played im-

Innovative materials for renewable energy

Fossil fuels have sustained the prosperity of human civilization for centuries since the invention of internal combustion engine during the first industrial revolution. However, several drawbacks also come along with the wide-spread adoption of fossil fuels, namely, energy shortage, environmental pollution, global warm- ing, and so on. It is therefore highly desirable to conduct renewable and clean energy innovation, in an effort to power the world with alternative and affordable energy. To realize this goal,

Milestones and current achievements in development of multifunctional bioscaffolds for medical application

Tissue engineering(TE)is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field,which aims to restore or improve lost tissue function.Despite that TE was introduced more than 20 years ago,innovative and more sophisticated trends and technologies point to new challenges and development.Current challenges involve the demand for multifunctional bioscaffolds which can stimulate tissue regrowth by biochemical curves,biomimetic patterns,active agents and proper cell types.For those purposes especially promising are carefully chosen primary cells or stem cells due to its high proliferative and differentiation potential.This review summarized a variety of recently reported advanced bioscaffolds which present new functions by combining polymers,nanomaterials,bioactive agents and cells depending on its desired application.In particular necessity of study biomaterial-cell interactions with in vitro cell culture models,and studies using animals with in vivo systems were discuss to permit the analysis of full material biocompatibility.Although these bioscaffolds have shown a significant therapeutic effect in nervous,cardiovascular and muscle,tissue engineering,there are still many remaining unsolved challenges for scaffolds improvement.
