Under the experimental conditions, a-amylase solution was treated by 0.15 T, 0.30 T and 0.45 T static magnetic fields for a known period of time, then the activity, kinetic parameters, and the secondary conformation were investigated. The results showed that there was a considerable effect of the magnetic exposure on the α-amylase. The activity was increased by 27%, 34.1%, 37.8% compared with the control. It was also found that both kinetic parameters Km and Vm could be decreased due to the increasing magnetic field, Km decreased from 2.20×10^2 to 0.87×10^2, whereas Vm decreased from 2.0×10^3 g/min to 1.1 ×10^3 g/min. At the same time, there were some irregular changes in a-amylase secondary conformation.展开更多

In this work, the deformation behavior of Q345E steel was investigated by hot compression experiments on Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator with the temperature ranging from 850 ℃ to 1150 ℃ and strain rate ranging from 0.01 s-1 to 10 s-1. The experimental results indicate that dynamic softening of Q345E benefits from increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The mathematical relationship between dynamic softening degree and deformation conditions is established to predict the dynamic softening degree quantitatively, which is further proved by some optical microstructures of Q345E. In addition, the experimental results also reveal that the stress level decreases with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The constitutive equation for flow stress of Q345E is formulated by Arrihenius equation and the modified Zener-Hollomon parameter considering the compensation of both strain and strain rate. The flow stress values predicted by the constitutive equation agree well with the experimental values, realizing the accurate prediction of the flow stress of Q345E steel under hot deformation.展开更多

The experimental results show that the different concentrations of CMC as crystal control agent on the morphology and crystal structure of calcium carbonate have obvious effect, which emerge morphology change from square to spherical, crystalline transition from calcite to aragonite. Thus, the results provide experimental data and theoretical basis for the use of different additives, and provide experimental basis and feasible solution for this kind of reaction.展开更多

To this purpose the paper analyses two test structures: (1) a four-story scaled steel frame tested on a shake table in a controlled laboratory conditions, and (2) a seven-story reinforced concrete building monitored during the seismic excitations of the 1999 Chi-Chi (Taiwan) Earthquake main shock and numerous fore and afiershocks. Some model based damage approaches and statistics based damage indexes are reviewed. The different methodologies and indexes are, then, applied to the two test structures with the final aim of analysing their performance and validity within the case of a laboratory scaled model and a real world structure subjected to input ground motion.展开更多

Herein, a supergravity method is applied to prepare the graded entropic alloys Al-Zn-Li-Mg-Cu. Through carefully optimizing the experimental conditions, the graded microstructures and hardness values appear after the supergravity technique. The morphology of the alloy significantly changes from the bulk intermetallics to eutectic structures along the supergravity force direction, which results from the crushed and graded aluminum oxide combined with the extremelystrong force. The results show that with this supergravity method, a performance-enhanced alloy can potentially be achieved through the centrifugation in a short time span and thus it paves the way for designing and synthesizing entropic alloys with intriguing properties.展开更多
