Measurement results with the continuous wave (CW) signals indicate that the designed class-F PA achieves a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) of 75. 2% with an output power of 39.4 dBm. The adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of the designed PA after digital predistortion (DPD) decreases from -28. 3 and -27. 5 dBc to -51.9 and -54. 0 dBc, respectively, for a 4-carrier 20 MHz WCDMA signal with 7. 1 dB peak to average power ratio (PAPR). The drain efficiency (DE) of the PA is 37. 8% at an average output power of 33. 3 dBm. The designed power amplifier can be aoolied in the WCDMA system.展开更多

Specifically, the impact on building envelope performance is investigated for different strategies such as window size, glazing type and building construction for two geographical locations in Egypt. This paper also studies the energy savings in residential and nonresidential buildings for different lighting power densities (LPD), energy input ratios (EIR), set point temperatures (SPT) and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (I-WAC) systems. The study shows certain findings of practical significance, e.g. that a window-to-wall ratio of 0.20 and reasonably shaded windows lower the total annual electricity use for nonresidential buildings by more than 20% in the two Egyptian locations.展开更多

Saline control was the group injected by saline. HMG model were created by injection of estrogen and progestogen. Moxibustion group was also injected of estrogen and progesto-gen with moxibustion at the same time. The Changes of nipple diameter and height were measured.The rats' skin temperature was recorded by an infrared thermal camera at the nipples, mammary areas,Danzhong(CV 17) and Ganshu(BL 18). Pathological changes of mammary gland in rats were also observed under light microscope.RESULTS: The diameter and height of the nipples in model group were prominently bigger and higher than that in control group(P < 0.01). The diameter and height in moxibustion group were prominently smaller and lower than that in model group(P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference between moxibustion group and control group.Compared with control group, skin temperature of the nipples, mammary area, and acupoints Danzhong(CV 17) and Ganshu(BL 18) decreased prominently in model group(P < 0.01-0.05). Compared with model group, skin temperature of that in moxibustion group increased prominently(P <0.05).CONCLUSION: Treatment with moxibustion can effectively decrease the HMG rats' nipple diameter and height, and increase the skin temperature in HMG model rats at the nipples, mammary areas,Danzhong(CV 17) and Ganshu(BL 18). This study convinces the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on mammary gland hyperplasia.展开更多

Variable laws of light intensity at the return place and encirclement power ratio are performed by numerical calculation, and are analyzed physically. The results show that the light intensity at the return place decreases monotonically with the increases of the diameter, incidence angle, tilted angle of the detector and the center shelter ratio, but the relationships between these parameters and the encirclement power ratio are all nonmonotonic. The reasonable choice of the focal shift size would result in the largest light intensity at the return place and the largest erirclenent power ratio.展开更多

The impact of the spin-coating speed on the photovoltaic performance of the PSCs has been investigated by revealing the effects of the spin-coating speed on the morphology and the absorption spectra of the polymer/PC_(61)BM blend films. When the thickness of the blend films are adjusted by spin-coating a fixed concentration with different spin-coating speeds, the blend film prepared at a lower spin-coating speed shows a stronger absorption per unit thickness, and the correspond device shows higher IPCE value in the longer-wavelength region. Under the conditions of similar thickness, the blend film prepared at a lower spin-coating speed forms a more uniform microphase separation and smaller domain size which leads to a higher absorption intensity per unit thickness of the blend film in long wavenumber band, a larger short-circuit current density(J_(sc)) and a higher power conversion efficiency(PCE) of the PSC device. Noteworthily, it was found that spin-coating speed is not only a way to control the thickness of active layer but also an influencing factor on morphology and photovoltaic performance for the diketopyrrolopyrrole-based terpolymer.展开更多

The thickness of active layer for the devices is investigated in details. The results show that the optimum thicknesses of rubrene layer and C70 layer are 30 nm and 25 nm, respectively. The degradation of the device is also investigated. The result indicates that the open-circuit voltage (Voo) does not change, while the short-circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) decrease continuously with time. The degradation can be attributed to the oxygen in ambient diffusing and infiltrating into the active materials and reacting with C70 in cells, which can result in the increase of interfacial series resistance.展开更多

However, the superior examples of TSF-OLEDs are still limited up to now.Herein, a trade-off strategy is presented for designing efficient TADF materials and achieving highperformance TSF-OLEDs via the construction of a new type of triazolotriazine(TAZTRZ) acceptor. The enhanced electron-withdrawing ability of TAZTRZ acceptor, fused by triazine(TRZ) and triazole(TAZ)together, enables TADF luminogens with small singlet-triplet energy gap(ΔE_(ST)) values. Meanwhile, the increased planarity from the TRZ-phenyl linkage(6:6 system) to the TAZ-phenyl linkage(5:6 system)can compensate the decrease of oscillator strength(f) while lowing ΔE_(ST), thus achieving a trade-off between small ΔE_(ST) and high f. As a result, the related TSF-OLED achieved an extremely low turn-on voltage of 2.1 V, an outstanding maximum external quantum efficiency(EQEmax) of 23.7% with small efficiency roll-off(EQE1000 of 23.2%;EQE5000 of 20.6%) and an impressively high maximum power efficiency of 82.1 lm W^(-1), which represents the state-of-the-art performance for yellow TSF-OLEDs.展开更多

The study area is Wuhan Metropolitan Area, China. The entropy method and the method of Spearman’s rank correlation were employed for the analysis of combined land use/cover data, administrative division data, population data and statistical yearbook data, from the multi-scale perspectives of cities, counties and townships. The results showed that:(1) The multi-functionality of cultivated land had obvious spatial differences and its overall spatial patterns were relatively robust, which did not change very much at the single scale.(2) At each single scale, the MCL’s trade-offs and synergies had spatial heterogeneity.(3) Scale effects existed in the MCL’s trade-offs and synergies. From the prefecture-level city scale, to the county scale, and to the township scale, the MCL’s trade-offs were changed to synergies, and some synergic relationships were enhanced. This article contributes to the literature by deepening the multiscale analysis of trade-offs and synergies of multifunctional cultivated land. The conclusions might provide a basis for helping policy-makers to implement protection measures for the multi-functionality of cultivated land at the right spatial scale, and to promote the higher-level synergies of multifunctional cultivated land to realize its sustainable use.展开更多

The heterostructure ITO/LCKMO/ZnO/A1 exhibits reproducible rectifying characteristics and light cur- rent under continuous laser irradiation of 2 = 325 nm. We report here the influence of LCKMO/ZnO bilayers' thickness on the electrical and photoelectric properties of the heterostructure at room temperature. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) is achieved when the LCKMO and ZnO layers are thin enough or the full space charge layer is sufficient. We obtained the maximum value of PCE of 0.0145% when the thicknesses of LCKMO and ZnO layers are 25 and 150 nm, respectively. The open circuit voltage is 0.04 V under this condition due to the internal photoemission.展开更多

Here, we report a facile approach to synthesize the Ir-based multimetallic, hierarchical, double-coreshelled architecture(HCSA) assisted by oil bath reaction for boosting overall water splitting in acidic environment. The Ir Ni Cu HCSA shows superior electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) and oxygen evolution reaction(OER), which are comparable to commercial Pt/C and better than IrO2. The Ir Ni Cu HCSA exhibits remarkably catalytic efficiency as bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting where a low cell voltage of 1.53 V is enough to drive a current density of 10 mA cm^-2 and maintains stable for at least 20 h. The presented work for the design and synthesis of novel Ir-based multimetallic architecture paves the way for highperformance overall water splitting catalysis.展开更多

Here, we report a facile approach to synthesize the Ir-based multimetallic, hierarchical, double-coreshelled architecture(HCSA) assisted by oil bath reaction for boosting overall water splitting in acidic environment. The Ir Ni Cu HCSA shows superior electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) and oxygen evolution reaction(OER), which are comparable to commercial Pt/C and better than IrO2. The Ir Ni Cu HCSA exhibits remarkably catalytic efficiency as bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting where a low cell voltage of 1.53 V is enough to drive a current density of 10 mA cm^-2 and maintains stable for at least 20 h. The presented work for the design and synthesis of novel Ir-based multimetallic architecture paves the way for highperformance overall water splitting catalysis.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)and mechanoluminescent(ML)materials have been considered as two types of promising materials that have their own application fields.It would be amazing to endow one material with the advantages of ML and MOFs,thus broadening their applications.However,there are quite few investigations on this topic,and the ML mechanism in ML-MOFs remains unclear.In this study,we proposed a strategy for developing ML-MOFs by doping lanthanide ions into the non-centrosymmetric SBD([Sr(μ-BDC)(DMF)]∞)MOF,and successfully synthesized a series of lanthanide-doped MOFs Ln-SBD(Ln=Tb,Dy,Sm,Eu)and Tb1-xEux-SBD(x=0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8)with multicolor ML.The lanthanide ions were uniformly distributed in the matrix of the SBD-MOF,and occupied the Sr site.The MLMOFs exhibited intense multicolor ML emissions varying from green to yellow to red by changing the co-doping ratios and species of lanthanide ions.The similar ML and photoluminescence(PL)spectra indicated that the ML emission was assigned to the radiative transition from the excited states to the ground states of lanthanide ions.The radiative transition was induced by the electron bombardment process that originated from the piezoelectric effect of the non-centrosymmetric SBD host.In addition,a pioneering temperature sensing research based on ML was carried out,which is promising for realizing dual-functional detection of stress and temperature without excitation light sources.This study gives a unique insight for developing more versatile and interesting smart materials by combining the versatility of MOF with the ML emission,imparting additional values to both MOF and ML materials.Moreover,this study provides a general rule for selecting MOFs with an acentric structure as the host for ML materials.
