The results show that the mixing micro-channel acts as a low-pass filter, and the biochemical signals are nonlinearly modulated by the pulsatile flows, which depend on the biochemical signal frequency, the flow signal frequency, and the biochemical signal transporting distance. It is concluded that, the transfer characteristics of the dynamic biochemical signals, which are transported in the time-varying flows, should be carefully considered for better loading biochemical signals on the cells cultured on the bottom of the microfluidic channel.展开更多

It is estimated that the wireless communication traffic could be as high as 65 Mbps per high-speed train. The development of such HSR communications systems and standards requires, in turn, accurate models for the HSR propagation channel. This article provides an overview of ex- isting HSR channel measurement campaigns in recent years. Particularly, some important measurement and modeling results in various HSR scenarios, such as viaduct and U-shaped groove （USG）, are briefly described and analyzed. In addition, we review a novel channel sounding method, which can highly improve the measurement efficiency in HSR environment.展开更多

The results show that the TiNi alloy processed by ECAE undergoes severe plastic deformation, and lowering the deformation temperature and increasing the number of extrusions contribute to grain refinement. When the annealing temperature is below 873 K, static recovery is the main restoration process; when the temperature rises to 973 K, static recrystallization occurs. It is found that fine particles are precipitated when the TiNi alloy processed by ECAE is annealed at 773 K.展开更多

After four passes ECAE treatment, microstructure of the alloy was refined but slightly inhomogeneous, to sub-micron scale, approximately 0.5～0.6 μm. Comparing with the solution-treated TiNi specimen, the martensitic transformations start (Ms) and peak temperatures (Mp) of TiNi specimens processed by ECAE were dramatically lowered. After ECAE treatment, the R-phase transformation was stimulated and separated from martensitic transformation, but occurred within a larger temperature range. Super-elasticity characteristics of TiNi alloy were tested by tensile loading and unloading cycles. The results revealed that at a tensile strain of 6% or smaller, TiNi alloy processed by four passes ECAE showed better super-elasticity, with less residual strain retained, than solution-treated sample. After tensile strain exceeded 6%, up to 8%, the maximum recoverable strain of TiNi alloy ECAE treated was decreased. Microstructure evolution and its effect on phase transformations and super-elasticity characteristics were discussed.展开更多
