Young’s modulus of crystalline C60 nanotubes studied by in situ transmission electron microscopy

Bending tests of crystalline nanotubes composed of fullerene C₆₀ molecules are performed inside a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. We fixed one side of a C₆₀ nanotube with a body-centered tetragonal structure with typical inner and outer diameters, i.e., 180 nm and 510 nm, respectively, and then applied concentrated forces on the other side using piezomanipulation of a silicon nanotip. The bending process was observed in situ by transmission electron microscopy with simultaneous measurements of the forces by an optical deflection method. It was found that the Young’s modulus of the nanotube was estimated to be 62–107 GPa, which was 1.1–3.3 times larger than that of C₆₀ nanowhiskers. The result concerning the increase in the Young’s modulus of the C₆₀ nanotube provided an experimental evidence for the structural model composed of an inner core and a surface shell for C₆₀ nanowhiskers.

Preparation and Characterization of Zeolite Beta with Low SiO_2/Al_2O_3 Ratio

Zeolite beta with a low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio was synthesized by a novel two-step process.The synthesized sample was characterized with XRD,SEM,FTIR,and N2 adsorption-desorption and solid-state MAS NMR.The results showed that aluminium species were inserted into the framework of zeolite beta.The BET surface area,volume,and particle size of the zeolite beta sample decreased with decreasing SiO2/Al2O3 ratio.Our process was proved an efficient route to synthesize zeolite beta with a low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio.     

Quantitative non-destructive characterization of damage in graphite-epoxy composites

We investigated the effect of controlled damage on the residual strength, failure mechanism and acoustic emission (AE) activity of graphite epoxy composites. The controlled damage was introduced by indenting unidirectional tensile specimens using a hardness machine with a diamond indentor. The specimens were loaded parallel to the fiber direction. The damage progression mechanisms operating upon subsequent loading and the failure modes were found to be different for sound and indented specimens. The difference in mechanical behavior affected also the AE, as displayed by the statistical moments of the peak amplitude distribution. Specifically, the variation of moment values with stress level were found to be different for the two groups. This difference can be used to sort sound from defective material during loading. In addition, this approach can in future be used as a means to ratify the soundness of structures, if a reliable database can be generated.

甲醇气相氧化羰化合成碳酸二甲酯 Ⅲ.复合载体铜基催化剂的表征

采用X射线衍射、表面物理吸附、CO原位吸附红外光谱、X射线光电子能谱以及热重分析方法对甲醇直接气相氧化羰化合成碳酸二甲酯的复合载体铜基催化剂(Cu(Ⅱ)/Naβ-AC)的物化性能进行了表征。实验结果表明,微波辐射条件下制备的Cu(Ⅱ)/Naβ-AC催化剂中,活性组分CuC l2一方面与分子筛载体间发生了固相离子交换反应,并形成了铜分子筛物种,另一方面,可直接高度分散在复合载体表面。反应后Cu(Ⅱ)/Naβ-AC催化剂中部分Cu2+被还原为Cu+或Cu0,Cu2+的结合能峰向低结合能方向迁移,但微波辐射处理并未破坏分子筛载体的骨架结构。采用复合载体增加了催化剂的比表面积,并产生一定量的微孔,从而提高了催化剂的氧化羰化反应活性。热重分析表明,当温度低于350℃时,Cu(Ⅱ)/Naβ-AC催化剂稳定性较好。     

用测井资料预测储层的润湿性

岩心电性及润湿性实验测量结果表明，润湿性对阿尔奇饱和度指数n有很大影响。通过引入相对润湿指数，发现阿尔奇饱和度指数n的对数与相润湿指数之间存在很好的线性关系，为利用饱和度指数预测储层的润湿性提供了依据。同时使用电磁波传播测井和微球形聚焦电阻率测井求出饱和度指数随地层深度的变化曲线，预测储层的润湿性。现场井资料处理结果表明，该方法能快速直观显示不同深度处储层润湿性的变化。

Increasing testing productivity and software quality: A comparison of software testing methodologies within NASA

Pressure to compress the development life cycle and reduce the duration and resources committed to testing lead to experimentation in testing at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Centerís Software Engineering Laboratory. This study investigates the trend to reduce developer testing and increasingly rely upon inspection techniques and independent functional testing to shorten the development life cycle, improve testing productivity, and improve software quality.An approach is developed to conduct this comparison. In particular, the problem faced by software researchers, having a comprehensive characterization of software projects so similar types may be identified for comparative studies, is addressed using expert opinion.
