Under the subsequent KOH activation, a significant morphology variation was detected and the obtained sample took on a ribbon-like structure. The morphology and structure of the carbon nanofibers and carbon nanoribbons were characterized. When the as-prepared one-dimensional carbon nanostructures were used as anode materials in lithium ion batteries, both of them exhibited superior cyclical stability and good rate properties. After 50 cycles, the reversible capacity of carbon nanofibers electrode maintained 530 mA·h/g. Concerning carbon nanoribbons, the reversible capacity is always larger than 850 mA·h/g and the reversible capacity retention after 23 cycles is 86%.展开更多

The transitions were assigned to the (2, 19), (3, 20), and (5, 21) bands in the second negative system (A^2∏u-X^2∏g). All the available lines measured using OH-VMS were global fitted in a nonlinear least-squares fitting procedure, and precise molecular constants (Bv, Av, Dv, pv, qv, γv) were obtained for the involved levels.展开更多

The RED-IL process was simulated via a rigorous model, and high purity products of methanol and n-butyl acetate can be obtained in such a process. The effects of reflux ratio, feed mode, holdup, feed location, entrainer ratio and catalyst concentration on RED-IL process were investigated. The conversion of methyl acetate and purities of products increase with the holdup in column, entrainer ratio and catalyst content. An optimal reflux ratio exists in RED-IL process. Comparing to the mixed-feed mode, the segregated-feed mode is more effective, in which the optimal feed locations of reactants exist.展开更多

Ferric oxides were removed from part of the clay fractions, which were then saturated with various chlorides (NaC1, KCl, CaCl2, CdCl2 or LaCl3). Electrical conductivities (EC) of dilute suspensions of the original and of the iron oxides-free clay fractions in deionized water were measured with the SHP-2 short high-voltage pulse apparatus, which enables measurement of the Wien effect at field strengths (E) from 14 to 250 kV cm^-1. The Wien effect (EC-E) curves revealed EC increases of red soil suspensions between 14 and 200 kV cm^-1, of 8.3, 8.4, 12.1, 5.9, and 1.2 μS cm^-1 for NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, CdCl2, and LaCl3, respectively, reflecting the differing interactions with the various cations and chloride. The EC increments with the iron-free red soil suspensions were higher, being 29.7, 17.2, and 15.3 μS cm^-1 for NaCl, CaCl2, and CdCl2, respectively. In the natural latosol suspensions the EC increments were practically zero, whereas in the iron-free fractions there were significant EC increments of 10.3, 5.7, 5.0, and 1.6μS cm^-1 for NaCl, CaCl2, CdCl2, and LaCl3, respectively.展开更多

Although the Prem determination is a simple procedure, the possibility of estimating accurate values of this index from easily and/or routinely determined soil properties can be very useful for practical purposes. The present research evaluated the Prem estimation through multiple regression analysis in which routinely determined soil chemical data, soil clay content and soil pH measured in 1 mol L-1 NaF (pHNaF) figured as Prem predictor variables. The Prem can be estimated with acceptable accuracy using the above-mentioned approach, and pHNaF not only substitutes for clay content as a predictor variable but also confers more accuracy to the Prem estimates.展开更多

Their mean and standard deviation was (5.5 ~ 1.69) while the lowest frequency fungal isolated was Dreschslera sp. and Rhizopus sp.. Their mean and standard deviation was (0.1 ~ 0.64). The aflatoxin-producing isolates appeared as gray or black colonies in the UV photographs, whereas nonproducing isolates appeared as white colonies, the plate five colony four (P5CO4) showed the positive results which means the presence of aflatoxin as compaired to the control which showed the ngative results. Ammonium Hydroxide Vapor-Induced Color Change method used which the dish was inverted and 1 or 2 drops of concentrated ammonium hydroxide solution are placed on the inside of the lid. The undersides of aflatoxin-producing colonies quickly turn plum-red after the bottom of the Petri dish has been inverted over the lid containing the ammonium hydroxide aspositive result in (P5CO4) and (P7CO4) observed. Essentially no color change occurs on the undersides of colonies that are not producing aflatoxinsthis indicate to the negative results (control). The main objective of this study is to isolation, identification and rapid detection of aflatoxin from wheat seed borne fungi.展开更多

In the scheme, the trapped ion is driven by two laser beams with different frequencies tuned to the first lower and upper vibrational sidebands, respectively. Unlike other previous scheme, our scheme does not require the displacement of the external state before the ion-laser interaction and thus our scheme night be more simple and feasible. The scheme can also be used to prepare the motional Schroedinger cat states and entangled coherent states.展开更多

Particular emphasis is given to the square lattice for which phase diagrams are obtained. If transverse field varies in the certain ranges we find that the tricritical point is obtained for the value of the bond concentration in a restricted region. We also observe that the reentrant phase transition may occur in the present system if single-ion anisotropy parameter is not large and if transverse field is small. On the other hand, for certain values of the system parameters, new induced magnetic ordering can be obtained. We find a number of interesting phenomena that are not predicted by previous literatures. The influence of the transverse field on the behaviours of the reentrant phase transition and induced magnetic ordering is discussed. A detailed description of the phase transition is presented.展开更多
