Cobalt hydroxide cathodlcally deposited fiom Co（NO3）O2 solution with carbon nanotubes as matrix exhibited large pseudo-capacitance of 322 F/g in 1 mol/L KOH. To characterize the cobalt hydroxide nanocomposite electrode, a charge-discharge cycling test, cyclic voltammetry, and an impedance test were done. This cobalt hydroxide composite exhibiting excellent pseudo-capacitive behavior （i.c. high reversibility, high specific capacitance, low impedance）, was demonstrated to be a candidate for the application of electrochemical supercapacitors. A combined capacitor consisting of cobalt hydroxide composite as a cathode and activated carbon fiber as an anode was reported. The electrochemical pcrformance of the combined capacitor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and a dc charge/discharge test. The combined capacitor showed ideal capacitor behavior with an extended operating voltage of 1.4 V. According to the extended operating voltage, the energy density of the combined capacitor at a current density of 100 mA/cm^2 was found to be 11 Wh/kg. The combined capacitor exhibited high-energy density and stable power characteristics,展开更多

The dataset was split into two groups： 80% of the data were used in model fitting and the remaining 2o% were used for validation. The compatible MB76 equations were used to predict the diameter outside bark to a specific height, the height to a specific diameter and the stem volume of the species. The result of the stem volume analysis was compared with the existing stem volume model of Larix kaempferi species of South Korea which was developed by the Korea Forest Research Institute and with a simple volume model that was developed with fitting dataset in this study. The compatible model provided accurate prediction of the total stem volume when compared to the existing stem volume model and with a simple volume model. It is concluded that the compatible taper and stem volume equations are more convenient to use and therefore it is recommended to be applied in the Larix kaempferi species of South Korea.展开更多

Thereby this equation can explain why crystal molar heat capacity equals about 3R not only at low temperatures but also at normal temperatures for many kinds of metals. It can be calculated that the nonlinear interaction among atoms contributes to the molar heat capacity using the coefficient of expansion β and the Grüneisen constant γ. The result is that the relative error between the theoretical and the experimental value of the molar heat capacity is reduced greatly for many kinds of metals, especially for metals of IA. The relative error can be cut by about 17%.展开更多

To solve this problem, we set out to find a candidate filter-feeding bivalve species suitable for saline-alkaline water to graze on microalgae and to control the pH. In the current study, we investigated the effect of carbonate alkalinity （CA, 2.5, 10.0, and 20.0 meq/L） and pH （8.0, 8.5, and 9.0） on the grazing capacity （GC） of the clam Cyclina sinensis. Additionally, the effect of clam size （small, medium, and large） and microalgae species （Nannochloropsis oculata, Chaetoceros miielleri, and lsochrysis galbana）, and the effect of bottom sediment characteristic （mud, sandy mud, and muddy sand） and thickness （3 and 6 cm） were analyzed as well. The results show that the GC on L galbana was the highest and small size had the maximum GC/W （W： wet weight including body and shells）. No significant differences were observed between sediment type and thickness. Regarding CA and pH, a significant decrease in GC by the pH or by their interaction was found. The GC ofC. sinensis was not greatly reduced in the treatments ofpH≤8.5 and CA≤20.0, and also not affected by bottom sediment type, indicating that this clam is capable to manage microalgal concentrations and might be a candidate species for pH reduction in saline-alkaline water ponds.展开更多

文摘A novel approach of characterizing single parametric model potential is proposed by equating total pair wise force to zero. Our well-established single parametric model potential is characterized using the proposed idea and compared the obtained parameter with parameters computed by previously used approaches. Thus characterized pseudopotential is then tested to compute total energy of alkali metals. The results establish the reliability of proposed idea of making total pair wise force to zero in determining the parameter of the pseudopotential.
