Methods Attenuation allowing microwave signal transmitting in an oblique or vertical direction through the solid propellant exhaust plume was computed, and the experiments were performed utilizing a lab scale solid rocket motor with a fully expanded nozzle. Results The predicted results accord well with the experimental results. Conclusion The microwave attenuation in the oblique path is greater than that in the vertical path.展开更多

Methods SLN suspension was prepared by high-pressurehomogenization technique, and then mixed with carbomer gel matrix to get SLN gel. The morphology,particle size with polydispersi-ty index (PI) and zeta potential were examined by atomic forcemicroscopy (AFM) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). The entrapment efficiency, stability andin vitro drug release were also studied. The transdermal drug delivery through porcine ear skin wasevaluated using modified Franz diffusion cells. Results The SLN had a spherical shape with theaverage size of (95.5 - 186.2) nm, the zeta potential of (-26.3- -15.7) mV and the entrapmentefficiency of 67.4%-90.3% for different TAA encapsulated compounds. TAA-SLN carbomer gel had goodstability, the release profile in vitro fitted Higuchi equation. In comparison with conventionalhydrogels, TAA-SLN carbomer gel resulted in higher drug permeation amount and drug deposition withinporcine ear skin after 24 h penetration experiment. Conclusion TAA-SLN carbomer gel is preparedwith stable physicochemical properties. The release profile and improved drug permeation into skinmake it be a promising vehicle for transdermal drug delivery.展开更多

Tunable dual-wavelength outputs, with one wavelength range from 750nm to 795nm and the other from 80Ohm to 850nm, have been demonstrated. With a pump power of 23 W at 532nm, a repetition rate of 6.5kHz and a pulse width of 67.6ns, the maximum dual-wavelength output power of 5.6 W at 785.3nm and 812.1 run, with a pulse width of 17.2ns and a line width of 2nm, has been achieved, leading to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 24.4%.展开更多

The ablation pressure of the shock wave generated with the plasma is calculated analytically. It is found that plasma expansion in perpendicular and lateral directions are both proportional to t2/5 with t as delay time, and the ablation pressure reaches 10^8 Pa.展开更多

Thirty-two diseased and 22 vibriocarriers were found on the territory of the city in the course of epidemic. The potential sources of infection are specified. The ways to avoid similar situations in the future are suggested. The analysis of the locations of the cholera contamination sources results in the obvious conclusion that most of them are connected with the place where the river Kalmius meets the Azov Sea. Waste flow from the residential solid waste landfill brings a considerable harm to the river Kalmius and the Azov Sea.展开更多

In order to control human comfort, temperature usually required when the differences in temperature swing between indoor and outdoor temperatures. PCMs （phase change materials） are the high latent heat materials which can be used in building materials for energy conservation purpose. PCMs can store thermal energy and also can prevent heat to pass through temperature control areas. Paraffin has been used as PCMs are absorbed into the pore of fly ash as paraffin/fly-ash composite and mixed into the buildings materials. Paraffin is an organic material with high melting point （-59℃）, and nonflammable materials therefore paraffin can be used as the building materials for the function of PCMs for energy saving purposes. Composite PCMs can be prepared by vacuum impregnation process. Paraffin in liquid form will be impregnated into the pore of fly ash by vacuum capillary force to form paraffin/fly ash composite PCMs. Vacuum impregnation pressures, vacuum times, impregnation times of liquid paraffin in fly ash pores and temperatures for melting the solid paraffin into the liquid form are all affect on the thermal properties of paraffin/fly ash composite PCMs. Paraffin or PCMs impregnation are also relate to the physical property including the fractal dimensions of the pores of the fly ash particles and paraffin/fly ash composite PCMs. The fractal dimensions of the pore of fly ash and paraffin/fiy ash composites PCMs are between the values of 1.0 and 2.0. Fractal dimensions of paraffin/fly-ash composite PCMs have the same trend as the thermal properties for heat capacity and latent heat of melting. These fractal dimensions technique is a novel method to measure physical property of building material related to latent heat and heat capacity.展开更多

Even with the current low prices of fuel, residents and businesses in the United States pay a significant price for their utilities, if not higher than most other countries in the world. Emissions from the evaporation and combustion of these traditional fossil fuels contribute to a range of environmental and health problems, causing poor air quality, and emitting greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Alternative fuel created from domestic sources has been proposed as a solution to these problems and much alternative energy are being developed based on solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, fuel cell, geothermal, etc. A new alternative hydrocarbon fuel which is produced from waste plastics can be used with compatble power plants and generators appliances to produce electricity that can be supplied into homes, businesses, power grids and other sectors.展开更多
