The electrochemical properties of AZ31, AP65 and Mg-3%Ga-2%Hg alloy anodes discharged in seawater were studied. The potentiodynamic polarization shows that the Mg-3%Ga-2%Hg alloy provides more negative corrosion potentials than AZ31 or AP65 alloy. The galvanostatic discharge results show that the Mg-3%Ga-2%Hg alloy exhibits good electrochemical properties as anodes in seawater. And the EIS studies reveal that the magnesium alloy anode/seawater interfacial process is determined by an activation controlled reaction. The Mg3Hg and Mg21Ga5Hg3 phases in Mg-3%Ga-2%Hg alloy improve its electrochemical properties better than the Mg17(Al,Zn)12 phase in AZ31 and Mg(Pb) solid solution phase in AP65 alloys.展开更多

The results showed that the element B has much effect on the glass forming ability of the Ni-W-B metallic glass. Ni-W-B metallic glass could not be fabricated with lower content of B, whereas a higher content of 13.5% B could easily lead to the fully amorphous structure. The glass transition temperature and the onset temperature of crystallization are as high as 768 K and 781.5 K, respectively, and the crystallization activation energy calculated by Ozawa model is(637±60) k J/mol, which showed strong thermal stability of Ni68.6W17.9B13.5 metallic glass. This novel Ni-based metallic glass also exhibited good mechanical properties with the tensile strength of about 2331 MPa. The results indicate that this metallic glass should have a promising application in high strength material.展开更多

BRI1, a protein localized to the plasma membrane, functions as a BR receptor and it has been proposed that its kinase activity has an essential role in BR-regulated plant growth and development. Here we report the isolation and molecular characterization of a new allele of bril, bril-301, which shows moderate morphological phenotypes and a reduced response to BRs under normal growth conditions. Sequence analysis identified a two-base alteration from GG to AT, resulting in a conversion of 989G to 9891 in the BRI1 kinase domain. An in vitro assay of kinase activity showed that bril-301 has no detectable autophosphorylation activity or phosphorylation activity towards the BRI1 substrates TTL and BAK1. Furthermore, our results suggest that bril-301, even with extremely impaired kinase activity, still retains partial function in regulating plant growth and development, which raises the question of whether BRI1 kinase activity is essential for BR-mediated growth and development in higher plants.展开更多

The results revealed that the recrystallized grains of the alloy after the solution treatment with hot air became smaller and more uniform, compared with solution treatment with electrical resistance. The texture of the alloy after two solution treatment methods was different. More rotated cube components were formed through solution treatment with electrical resistance, which was better for improving the drawability of the alloy. The strength of the alloy under the solution treatment with hot air was higher before stamping, because of the small uniform grains and many clusters in the matrix. The alloy solution treated with hot air also possessed good bake hardenability, because the transformation occurred on more clusters in the matrix.展开更多

The energy and dose of N^+ ions were in the rang 15~35 keV and 3. 8×10^15~9. 6×10^16 ions/cm^2, respectively. The conductivity of PMOMBOPV film was enhanced remarkably with the increases of the energy and dose of N^+ ions. For example, the conductivity of PMOMBOPV film was 3. 2×10^-2S/cm when ion implantation was performed with an energy of 35 keV at a dose of 9. 6 × 10^14 ions/cm^2 , which was almost seven orders of magnitude higher than that of film unimplanted. The environmental stability of conductive behavior for ionimplanted film was much better than that of chemical doped films. Moreover, the conductive activation energy of ion-implanted films was measured to be about 0.17 eV.展开更多

The P84, which was always used in the non-woven fabric for bag filter, was intermingled with polyacrylonitrile-based ACF (PAN-ACF) in the weight ratio of 1∶1 in order to make the doped ACF with P84 (doped-ACF-P84). Then the doped-ACF-P84 fibers were modified by HNO3 solution. The structure and morphology of doped-ACF-P84 were characterized and compared with those of ACF and doped-ACF-P84 modified by HNO3solution. The results show that the modified doped-ACF-P84 fibers have almost the same pore structure and specific surface area comparing with the original one. However, contrasted with the original PAN-ACF, the doped-ACF-P84 fibers modified by HNO3 solution have more oxygen-containing groups used for mercury removal. In particular, they have more lactone and carboxyl groups.展开更多

The power flow transmitted into the foundation is solved and considered as a cost function to achieve optimal control of vibration isolation. Some numerical simulations revealed that the analytical model is effective as piezoelectric stack actuators can achieve substantial vibration attenuation by selecting proper value of the input voltage.展开更多

Pre-deformation of 60% was used by hot working at 300 ℃. After pre-deformation, the samples were heated to a temperature above the solidus and below the liquidus point and maintained in the isothermal conditions at three different temperatures(500, 550 and 590 ℃) for varying time(10, 20 and 40 min). It was observed that strain induced melt activation has caused the globular morphology of α(Al) grains. Microstructural study was carried out on the alloy by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope in both unrefined and B-refined conditions. The results showed that for the desired microstructures of the alloy during SIMA process, the optimum temperature and time are 550 ℃ and 10 min, respectively. After the T6 heat treatment, the average tensile strengths increased from 278 to 585 MPa and 252 to 560 MPa for samples refined with 3.75% Al-8B before and after SIMA process, respectively. The ultimate strength of SIMA specimens is lower than that of B-refined specimens.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, reflectance spectra and chromaticity coordinates were carried out in this study. The CaTb4(SiO4)3O host has been known to crystallize in a hexagonal structure with disordering found in the Ca2+ and Tb3+ cation sites. The phosphors exhibited highly green-emitting band centered at 541 nm under ultraviolet excitation, which corresponds to the 5D4→7F5 transition. The optimal doping concentration of Tb3+ was observed to be at 20 mol%, and the PL intensity was found to decline dramatically when the content of Tb3+ exceeds 20m01% due to concentration quenching. Based on the results, we are currently evaluating the potential application of Ca(Tb,La)4(SiO4)30 as a new green-emitting near-UV LED convertible phosphor.展开更多

The influence of two-month storage under dif- ferent conditions on the storage and subsequent reactivation performance of aerobic granules was investigated. After two-month storage the granules sealed at 4 ~C in distilled water or normal saline (named granules A and granules B, respectively) could maintain their characteristics as before, while the granules idled in the reactor at room temperature (named granules C) exhibited decreased properties. During reactivation, granules A and granules B presented almost identical recovery performance, faster than granules C, in terms of phosphorus removal efficiency, mixed liquor sus- pended solids (MLSS), phosphate release and accumulating ability. The results suggest that hermetical storage at low temperature promoted the maintenance of the granular properties and the reviving behaviors of phosphateaccumulating aerobic granules, and storage medium had little influence on the storage and recovery perfomlance.展开更多

The manipulation of excited states through molecular design has led to the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices with tunable emission colors, high quantum efficiencies and efficient energy/charge transfer processes. Recently, a significant breakthrough in lifetime tuning of excited states has been made;the purely organic molecules were found to have ultralonglived excited state under ambient conditions with luminescence lifetimes up to 1.35 s, which are several orders of magnitude longer than those of conventional organic fluorophores. Given the conceptual advance in understanding the fundamental behavior of excited state tuning in organic luminescent materials, the investigations of organic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence(OURTP) should provide new directions for researches and have profound impacts on many different disciplines. Here, we summarized the recent understandings on the excited state tuning, the reported OURTP molecules and their design considerations,the spectacular photophysical performance, and the amazing optoelectronic applications of the newly emerged organic optoelectronic materials that free of heavy metals.展开更多

The CaTb4(SiO4)3O host has been known to crystallize in a hexagonal structure with disordering found in the Ca2+ and Tb3+ cation sites. The phosphors exhibited highly green-emitting band centered at 541 nm under ultraviolet excitation, which corresponds to the 5D4→7F5 transition. The optimal doping concentration of Tb3+ was observed to be at 20 mol%, and the PL intensity was found to decline dramatically when the content of Tb3+ exceeds 20m01% due to concentration quenching. Based on the results, we are currently evaluating the potential application of Ca(Tb,La)4(SiO4)30 as a new green-emitting near-UV LED convertible phosphor.
文摘Phosphate-accumulating aerobic granules cultivated in a sequencing batch reactor were composed of inner rod-shaped bacteria aggregates and outer twining filamentous bacteria. The influence of two-month storage under dif- ferent conditions on the storage and subsequent reactivation performance of aerobic granules was investigated. After two-month storage the granules sealed at 4 ~C in distilled water or normal saline (named granules A and granules B, respectively) could maintain their characteristics as before, while the granules idled in the reactor at room temperature (named granules C) exhibited decreased properties. During reactivation, granules A and granules B presented almost identical recovery performance, faster than granules C, in terms of phosphorus removal efficiency, mixed liquor sus- pended solids (MLSS), phosphate release and accumulating ability. The results suggest that hermetical storage at low temperature promoted the maintenance of the granular properties and the reviving behaviors of phosphateaccumulating aerobic granules, and storage medium had little influence on the storage and recovery perfomlance.

文摘Ultrasonic vibration can be used for the micro-molding of metallic glasses(MGs)due to stress-softening and fast surface-diffusion effects.However,the structural rearrangement under ultrasonic vibration and its impact on the mechanical response of metallic glasses remain a puzzle.In this work,the plastic flow of the Zr35Ti30Cu8.25Be26.75 metallic glass with the applied ultrasonic-vibration energy of 140 J was investigated by nanoindentation.Both Kelvin and Maxwell-Voigt models have been adopted to analyze the structural evolution during the creep deformation.The increase of the characteristic relaxation time and the peak intensity of relaxation spectra can be found in the sample after ultrasonic vibration.It effectively improves the activation energy of atomic diffusion during the glass transition(Eg)and the growth of the crystal nucleus(Ep).A more homogenous plastic deformation with a weak loading-rate sensitivity of stress exponent is observed in the ultrasonic-vibrated sample,which coincides with the low pile-up and penetration depth as shown in the cross profile of indents.The structural rearrangement under resonance actuation demonstrated in this work might help us better understand the defect-activation mechanism for the plastic flow of amorphous systems.

文摘The exponential growth of utilizing synthetic organic molecules in optoelectronic applications poses strong demands for rational control over the excited states of the materials. The manipulation of excited states through molecular design has led to the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices with tunable emission colors, high quantum efficiencies and efficient energy/charge transfer processes. Recently, a significant breakthrough in lifetime tuning of excited states has been made;the purely organic molecules were found to have ultralonglived excited state under ambient conditions with luminescence lifetimes up to 1.35 s, which are several orders of magnitude longer than those of conventional organic fluorophores. Given the conceptual advance in understanding the fundamental behavior of excited state tuning in organic luminescent materials, the investigations of organic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence(OURTP) should provide new directions for researches and have profound impacts on many different disciplines. Here, we summarized the recent understandings on the excited state tuning, the reported OURTP molecules and their design considerations,the spectacular photophysical performance, and the amazing optoelectronic applications of the newly emerged organic optoelectronic materials that free of heavy metals.
