The multi-layer graphene oxide sheets can be chemically reduced by HNO3 and HI to form a highly conductive graphene film on a substrate at lower temperature. The reduced graphene oxide sheets show a high conductivity sheet with resistance of 476Ω/sq and transmittance of 76% at 550nm (6 layers). The technique used to produce the transparent conductive graphene thin film is facile, inexpensive, and can be tunable for a large area production applied for electronics or touch screens.展开更多

The real-time estimation for these two parameters is crucial to realize a safe and reliable battery application. However, this is a great problem for LiFePO4 batteries due to the large constant potential plateau in the charge/discharge process. Here we propose a combined SOC and SOH co-estimation method based on the experimental test under the simulating electric vehicle working condition. A first-order resistance-capacitance equivalent circuit is used to model the battery cell, and three parameter values, ohmic resistance (Rs), parallel resistance (Rp) and parallel capacity (Cp), are identified from a real-time experimental test. Finally we find that Rp and Cp could be utilized to make a judgement on the SOIl. More importantly, the linear relationship between Cp and the SOC is established to make the estimation of the SOC for the first time.展开更多

When applied for detection of human serum HBsAg, this immunoassay system can detect as little as 1 ng/ml of human serum HBsAg.展开更多

Based on previously established static diffusion cell system in this laboratory, a novel model-peifused glass diffusion cell system is desboed. The results of initial comporative study on percutaneous absorption between glass perfused diffusion cell and static diffusion cell, ih vitro and in vivo permeation as well as factors affecting permeation with seven radiolabelled chemicals are presented. The results demonstrate that the peifused diffusion cell system, which used a perfusion nuid betow the suiface of skin to take up the materials which penetrated the skin, is more similar to physiologic condition,convenient and automatic than that of the static cell. It well predicts the in vivo percutaneous absorption if appropriate areptor fluid is chosen. The results also show that the selection of receptor fluid is critical for in vitro permeation of chemicals with different soubility展开更多

People from different countries all have their only names, which generally consist of the first name and the last name. Not only in reality, but also in literary works, they all have their unique names, but the naming methods and intention are different. This paper emphasizes the naming methods and intention in English novels. The names of English novels usually have a richer culture, it embodies the character traits and characters in the novel, such as the outcome of their fate. Therefore, the research of the cultural intention of English novels and translating names accurately is of great significance for literary translation, which also plays an important role in the East-West cultural exchange.展开更多

The exact solutions are derived, in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions, involving various parameters. When the parameters are tuned to special values, both solitary, and periodic wave models are distinguished. State of the art symbolic algebra graphical representations and dynamical interpretations of the obtained solutions physics are provided and discussed. This in turn ends up revealing salient solutions features and demonstrating the used method efficiency.展开更多
