Differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and thermal mechanical analysis （TMA） were used to calculate thermal parameters： crystallization temperature （Tx）, glass transition temperature （Tg） and thermal expansion （α）. Besides, Judd-Ofelt theory is applied to analyzing absorption spectra. Intensity parameters -λ （λ=2, 4, 6）, transition probabilities Aed, radiative lifetime τi, and branching ratios β of Er3＋ transitions were obtained. Emission cross-section σemis of 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3＋ was calculated according to the theory of McCumber. All of the parameters indicate that the thermal stability and optical properties of Er3＋-doped TZNBG glasses are improved effectively.展开更多

The paper focuses on window glazing since this is a load-capacity system which, when subjected to blast loading, has caused significant damage and injury to building occupants. Structural reliability techniques are used to derive blast reliability curves for annealed and toughened glazing subjected to explosive blast for a variety of threat scenarios. The probabilistic analyses include the uncertainties associated with blast modelling, glazing response and glazing failure criteria. Damage risks are calculated for an individual window and for windows in the facade of a multi-storey commercial building. The paper shows an illustrative example of how this information, when combined with risk-based decision-making criteria, can be used to optimise blast mitigation strategies.展开更多

In Mexico, Sonora State leads the table grape production and exportation to international markets. In this regard, it is important to preserve the grape varieties during long time without phenotypical or genotypical changes. Cryopreservation is a good alternative, although it very often can induce changes in genome and phenotype. In this study, grapevine cv. ＂Flame Seedless＂ axillary buds were cryoprcserved by vitrification using the plant vitrification solution 2 （PVS2） and stored in liquid nitrogen （LN） for one hour, one week and one month, respectively. Genetic stability of buds cryopreserved under all treatments was evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeats （ISSR） markers. Ten ISSR primers were evaluated, but only two primers were possible to amplify distinct and reproducible bands with sizes between 300 bp and 2,000 bp. Different ISSR fragment patterns were recorded in cryopreserved buds as compared with control. These results suggest that cryopreservation by LN and vitrification-cryopreservation affect genetic stability in grapevine.展开更多

The results show that with the increase of the number of cryogenic thermal cycles （CTC）, thermal stability remains almost unchanged, while the plasticity is increased, indicating that the cryogenic thermal cyclic treatment is an effective way to improve plasticity of metallic glasses without distinctly deteriorating thermal stability. Our analysis suggests that the increase in the defect density resulted from the cryogenic thermal treatments are responsible for the plasticity increment. Variation of yield strength can be well interpreted from microstructural percolation which affected by both density and characteristic volume of the defect sites.展开更多
