Any applicative, practical and durable building will conform to the simplicity of science and technology and harmony of design, and conform to the principle of beauty in the meantime. Architecture not only satisfies the need of functions, but represents the combination of skill and art, which is a sufficient integration of technology and art. The paper analyzes the relationship between technology and art of historic buildings in China by taking the typical examples of the Zhaozhou Bridge and the Hanging Temple of Hengshan, and clarifies the way of fusion between building and art, and indicates ways of fusion and reasons. In the last, the article proves the theory by the case of indoor decoration in modern building in order to defend mechanics and aesthetics in the modern buildings.展开更多

Its penetration, by non-invasive means, can readily be achieved with currents and ultrasound or radiofrequency devices through electroporation, sonophoresis, iontophoresis or cavitation. When several types of energy are applied simultaneously, we expect the effects to be magnified and all the more effective. Although the mechanism of action of each technology on the skin is not entirely controlled, and is even less so when multiple technologies are applied concurrently, some studies demonstrate that nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in skin wound-healing and regeneration. With regard to wound healing, one of the key functions of NO appears to be its permissive effect on keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation, which helps promote wound re-epithelialization. The objective of the actual research is to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms generated by NO through the application of a specific combination of technologies.展开更多

In order to fully improve technical capability, reduce energy consumption, improve feedstock flexibility and increase production capacity of steam crackers, a lot of technical transform schemes on steam cracking were studied and compared with attention focused on the feasibility, safety, operability of the related revamp schemes, as well as the advanced nature and economical features. The transform scheme decided includes following projects. For the pyrolysis quench compression system, the pyrolysis gasoline fractionation tower is retrofitted on the site, quench water tower, pyrolysis gas compressor and steam turbine are replaced by new ones respectively. For the separation system a low pressure methane removal technology is adopted with the demethanizer tower replaced, coupled with the C 3 catalytic rectification/hydrogenation technology, while the high pressure depropanizer is replaced with addition of a propylene rectification tower. The fractionation flow sheet and equipment are adjusted with addition of a propylene compressor and compressor for binary mixture of methane ethylene cooling agents. The revamped complex has expanded the ethylene capacity to the target of 660 kt/a with the actual capacity reaching 710 kt/a, remarkably reduced the energy consumption, and is capable of using naphtha, light diesel fuel, heavy diesel fuel and the hydrocracked tail oil as the steam cracking feedstock. This project is the first to apply refrigeration by means of a mixed cooling agent and has succeeded in using C\-3 catalytic rectification/hydrogenation technology, which has given an impetus to the progress of steam cracking industry in the world.展开更多
