Based on the simulation results, it is found that a non-uniform distribution of temperature appears in different positions of the blade surface, which has directly impacted on stress field. The maximum temperature with a value of 1030 ℃ occurs at the leading edge. During the steady stage, the maximum stress of thermally grown oxide （TGO） appears in the middle of the suction side, reaching 3.75 GPa. At the end stage of cooling, the maximum compressive stress of TGO with a value of-3.5 GPa occurs at the leading edge. Thus, it can be predicted that during the steady stage the dangerous regions may locate at the suction side, while the leadine edge mav be more Drone to failure on cooling.展开更多

The morphologies and yields of those SiC nanowires can be tuned by altering the composition of CoxSiy. Nanowires obtained by thermal evaporation of Co Si are composed of SiC/SiO2 core-shell nanostructures with lengths up to several hundreds of micrometers, diameters of 4050 nm, and the thickness of amorphous SiO2 wrapping shell about 20 nm. SiC nanowires prepared by thermal evaporation of Co Si2 and Co2 Si melt are found to be hexagonal-prism-shaped nanorods, and the diameter of those nanorods is about 150 nm and the length is about 10 microns. All the SiC nanowires obtained possess [111] preferred growth direction with a high density stacking faults and twin defects. Taking into consideration the binary alloy diagram of Co Si and the participation of oxygen, we propose the vapor-solid growth mechanism of SiC nanowires and discuss the effect of the supersaturation of Si O on the morphology and yields of SiC nanowires.展开更多

There are now 13 closed landfll sites in Hong Kong, and a restoration program has been launched since 1999 to transform the closed landfll sites back into recreational area. The MSW underneath these closed landfll sites will biodegrade slowly and gradually, releasing toxic gases and leachate. As there have only been a few afteruse development ever completed in Hong Kong, this paper describes the consideration in planning and design of two former landfll sites in Hong Kong–Ngau Chi Wan(NCW) and Jordan Valley(JV) landflls, in particular a discussion on the MSW settlement. Various models in predicting the longterm MSW settlement have been available. This paper reviews the applicability of these models to predict MSW settlement. However, as the predicted settlements can be signifcantly in error, they need sitespecifc calibration and validation. This paper therefore presents the settlement monitoring data in these former landfll sites over the last 30 years, and suggests modifying the Bjarngard and Edgers’ method for estimating this long-term settlement as well as the effect of additional surcharge due to afteruse development. Based on the regression of these data, compression indices Cce and C at different stages of the settlement in the modifed method have been calibrated and validated.展开更多

A rare complication of this technique is epidural catheter retention. Case Presentation: In this case report, we present an otherwise healthy 21-year-old G2P0010 woman at 39 weeks and 3 days gestation whose anesthetic management was complicated by a symptomatic retained epidural catheter fragment. Computed tomography (CT) imaging of her spine showed the fractured catheter within her paraspinal muscles and neurosurgery recommended no surgical intervention at that time. The patient reported resolution of back pain while in the postpartum unit which she continues to endorse two weeks after discharge. Conclusion: Retained epidural catheter is a medical emergency that requires immediate imaging and neurological evaluation. While magnetic resonance imaging is typically regarded as the standard imaging modality for this complication, in epidural sets that contain metallic components, we suggest using CT to avoid the risk of thermal nerve damage. In cases where the patient does not report any acute complaints, nonsurgical management may be appropriate but close follow-up is required to monitor for catheter migration.展开更多

Double knockdown of ODC1 and ADC(MAO-ODC1:ADC) resulted in two phenotypes of conceptuses; 33% of conceptuses appeared to be morphological y and functional y normal(phenotype a) and 67% of the conceptuses presented an abnormal morphology and functionality(phenotype b). Furthermore, MAO-ODC1:ADC(a) conceptuses had greater tissue concentrations of Agm,putrescine, and spermidine than MAO control conceptuses, while MAO-ODC1:ADC(b) conceptuses only had greater tissue concentrations of Agm. Uterine flushes from ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC(a) had greater amounts of arginine, aspartate, tyrosine, citrulline, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and glutamine, while uterine flushes of ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC(b) conceptuses had lower amount of putrescine, spermidine, spermine, alanine, aspartate,glutamine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and lysine.Conclusions: The double-knockdown of translation of ODC1 and ADC m RNAs was most detrimental to conceptus development and their production of interferon tau(IFNT).

Multiple factors such as type of active surface, adsorption site and distribution of oxygen vacancies were considered to evaluate the hydrogen adsorption capability of tungsten oxide. The adsorption Gibbs free energies, electronic structures and bonding characteristics under various conditions were examined to reveal the influence of oxygen vacancies on the surface. It is found that the capability of hydrogen adsorption of tungsten oxide can be significantly enhanced by adjusting the oxygen vacancy on the outermost layer of certain active surfaces. The modeling predicts that the surface structure stability and gas adsorption ability of tungsten oxide can be simultaneously improved through the formation of W–H bonds. The proposed strategy for moderating surface provides a new approach to obtain excellent gas-sensitive metal oxide materials.展开更多

文摘Close-space sublimation(CSS)has been demonstrated as an alternative vacuum deposition technique for fabricating organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).CSS utilizes a planar donor plate pre-coated with organic thin films as an area source to rapidly transfer the donor film to a device substrate at temperatures below 200℃.CSS is also conformal and capable of depositing on odd-shaped substrates using flexible donor media.The evaporation behaviors of organic donor films under CSS were fully characterized using model OLED materials and CSS-deposited films exhibited comparable device performances in an OLED stack to films deposited by conventional point sources.The low temperature and conformal nature of CSS,along with its high material utilization and short process time,make it a promising method for fabricating flexible OLED displays.

文摘A model for describing the adsorption process of hydrogen on surface of tungsten oxide was proposed based on the first-principle calculations. Multiple factors such as type of active surface, adsorption site and distribution of oxygen vacancies were considered to evaluate the hydrogen adsorption capability of tungsten oxide. The adsorption Gibbs free energies, electronic structures and bonding characteristics under various conditions were examined to reveal the influence of oxygen vacancies on the surface. It is found that the capability of hydrogen adsorption of tungsten oxide can be significantly enhanced by adjusting the oxygen vacancy on the outermost layer of certain active surfaces. The modeling predicts that the surface structure stability and gas adsorption ability of tungsten oxide can be simultaneously improved through the formation of W–H bonds. The proposed strategy for moderating surface provides a new approach to obtain excellent gas-sensitive metal oxide materials.
