By investigating the morphology of mesophase spheres and the structure of the MCMB carbonized at 1000℃ for lh using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and XRD, it was found that phenolic resin accelerated the formation and coalescence of mesophase spheres. Some of the obtained MCMB were hi- or tri-spheres with the distorted microtextural carbon layers. Hexamethylenetetramine in the pitch modified by phenolic resin accelerated the condensation of phenolic resin and consequently expedited the combination of mesophase spheres, which was proved by the formation of some tetra-spheres. Owing to the cross-linkage of the additives, MCMB with complex structure were obtained.展开更多

The results demonstrate that expenditures on different types of public services present different spatial autocorrelation patterns. Although the spatial differences in basic public service expenditures are relatively small, a clear fan-shaped spillover to the east can be seen in Chengdu City. Chengdu also shows high clustering of advanced public service expenditures, being a typical core-periphery pattern. Post-earthquake reconstruction expenditures are clustered in the "5.12 Wenchuan earthquake" region and spill over toward cities to the east. The efficiency of public services in the mountainous areas in western Sichuan is low and exhibits a pattern of low-low spatial autocorrelation. The efficiency of public service supply is affected by economic, social, political and geographical factors. Based on the results of this analysis, we recommend a supply strategy that incorporates different types of public services and a specialized public service supply strategy for mountainous areas. Overall public service efficiency should be enhanced by focusing on narrowing the gap in farmers' income among regions and accelerating urbanization. Decision-makers should consider moresupportive policies with regard to providing basic public services in mountainous areas to ensure an equalized supply of basic public services. To enhance the efficiency of advanced public service supply, additional growth pole should be encouraged and incentivized; however, investments are required to drive the development of the peripheral regions through regional economic integration. Both software and hardware types of infrastructure are required to supply services efficiently during post-disaster reconstruction.展开更多

The validity of the collective Hamiltonian is checked in the two special cases of the multi-O(4) model: the case where the number of the shells is equal to one (a single j-shell case), and the case where the Hartree-Bogoliubov equilibrium point is spherical (the spherical case). The collective Hamiltonian constitutes a good starting point to study nuclear shape coexistence.展开更多

The hysteresis of pressure drop and the variance of radial liquid distribution were observed simultaneously. Residence time distribution (RTD), holdup and mean residence time (RT) of liquid phase were also found to demonstrate hysteresis of the same nature. RTD, liquid holdup and mean RT calculated with a simple model from the distribution of liquid flow rate show characteristics consistant with the experimental data, suggesting that the hyteretic phenomena originate from the multiplicity and nonuniformity of liquid flow distribution.展开更多

The cellulose diacetate molecules can form micelles and micellar clusters in acetone besides the individual chains. As the concentration increases, the average hydrodynamic radius (Rh) linearly increases, whereas the ratio of gyration radius to hydrodynamic radins 〈Rg〉/〈Rh〉 linearly decreases. It indicates that the micelles associate and form micellar clusters due to the intermolecular interactions.展开更多

This equation of state contains a repulsion term and an attraction term for intermolecular interaction. With pairwise combination rules for these potentials, three adjustable parameters are needed. The results showed that the critical curves of the former six binary systems belonged to type I, and CH4+H2O system belonged to type III. The calculated data were compared with the experimental data,which yielded good results for the pressure-temperature, pressure-composition and temperature-composition behaviors of the seven systems. Moreover, the values of the adjustable parameters were obtained from the calculation of the critical curves. They can also be used for other relevant calculation.展开更多

In this work the molecular interaction between fibrinogen and a modified titanium oxide surface/platelet has been studied by quartz crystal microbalanee with dissipation (QCM-D) in situ. In order to further characterize the conformation of adsorbed fibrinogen, αC and γ-chain antibody were used to check the orientation and denaturation of fibrinogen on solid surface. QCM-D investiga- tions revealed the fibrinogen have the trend to adsorb on hydropllilic surface in a side-on orientation by positively charged αC domains, which would reduce the exposure of platelet bonding site on γ chain and enable less platelet adhesion and be activated. These obser- vations suggest that certain conformations of adsorbed fibrinogen are less platelet adhesive than others, which opens a possibility for creating a non-platelet adhesive substrates.展开更多

The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility measurements demonstrated that [Fem(3-Mepy)L2]BPh4 showed a gradual spin equilibrium between HS (high-spin) (S = 5/2) and LS (low-spin) (S = 1/2) states, [Fem(4-NH2py)L2]BPh4 showed a steep SCO (spin crossover) and [FeIH(2-Melm)L2]BPh4 was in the HS state even at 100 K. The single crystal X-ray analyses demonstrated that [FelH(4-NH2py)L2]BPh4 has an one-dimensional chain structure constructed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between 4-amino group of 4-NH2py and methoxy oxygen of adjacent molecular-cation. The crystal structure of [FenI(3-Mepy)L2]BPh4 has no such intermolecular interaction and its SCO site behaves independently, and the crystal structure of [FeIII(2-Meim)L2]BPh4 has a NH...n interaction between imidazole group of 2-Meim of cation and a phenyl group of anion BPh4. The result demonstrates that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding affects SCO profile significantly.展开更多

The "hybridization" of Tokyo is examined using three references as a starting point. First is the spatial typology of sakariba that transformed what were transitional zones into pleasure districts during the Edo period, creating what was arguably the most definitive type of collective space for citizens of Edo. The second reference is Roland Barthes' description of the infrastructuraI experience. Thirdly, the book Made in Tokyo illustrated the strong mutual dependence among infrastructure, architecture, and the city as a unique characteristic of Tokyo. Transit space can be reused on the human scale with different programs related to time for pleasurable activities. Tokyo Playground aims to capture the idea of emotional space within infrastructure. It aims to highlight some possible design strategies and tools that help to domesticate the infrastructure through the injection of pleasure and playful programs with an understanding of how humans experience, occupy, and interpret such spaces. Leftovers within the infrastructure are opportunities for social and ecological reuse and these precious voids contribute to creating the contemporary soul of the city as it becomes the source of vibrant energy for transcultural urban regeneration.展开更多
