The intervalley X6→Γ6, L6 scattering time in GaAs measured by ultrafast pump-probe infrared absorption spectroscopy

A direct measurement of the dynamics of electrons in the X₆ valley for a GaAs crystal by time-resolved absorption spectroscopy is reported for the first time. IR picosecond probe pulses were used to monitor the growth and decay of the population in the X₆ valley subsequent to excitation by a 527 nm pump pulse. The intervalley X₆→Γ₆, L₆ scattering time t_x of 0.70 ± 0.50 ps is determined and the crossection for the X₆→X₇ transition is estimated to be 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁶ cm².     

Evaluation of different coating systems by electrochemical methods

Corrosion protection of organic coated steel is determined by free corrosion potential measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The results are classified by means of very basic considerations and evaluation figures are developed. These electrochemical data are correlated with the extent of the corrosion for each coating system. The evaluation figures are used for ranking coating systems and this ranking is correlated with the ranking with reference to the results of standardized and exposure tests.

裂纹对石墨烯拉伸力学性能影响的数值仿真

为研究裂纹对石墨烯力学性能的影响,以锯齿型石墨烯为研究对象,基于分子动力学方法,采用Tersoff势函数分析裂纹长度对石墨烯拉伸力学性能的影响以及含有裂纹的石墨烯在不同应变率下的拉伸变形破坏过程.结果表明,裂纹长度的增加大大减小石墨烯的抗拉强度和抗拉应变,对弹性模量有一定影响;裂纹降低石墨烯的抗拉应变对应变率的敏感性,但对于含有裂纹的石墨烯,仍可以增大加载速率来提高石墨烯的抗拉性能.

Operational optimization of a building-level integrated energy system considering additional potential benefits of energy storage

As a key component of an integrated energy system (IES), energy storage can effectively alleviate the problem of the times between energy production and consumption. Exploiting the benefits of energy storage can improve the competitiveness of multi-energy systems. This paper proposes a method for day-ahead operation optimization of a building-level integrated energy system (BIES) considering additional potential benefits of energy storage. Based on the characteristics of peak-shaving and valley-filling of energy storage, and further consideration of the changes in the system’s load and real-time electricity price, a model of additional potential benefits of energy storage is developed. Aiming at the lowest total operating cost, a bi-level optimal operational model for day-ahead operation of BIES is developed. A case analysis of different dispatch strategies verifies that the addition of the proposed battery scheduling strategy improves economic operation. The results demonstrate that the model can exploit energy storage’s potential, further optimize the power output of BIES and reduce the economic cost.     

Regulation of Neutrophil Functions by Hv1/VSOP Voltage-Gated Proton Channels

The voltage-gated proton channel, Hv1, also termed VSOP, was discovered in 2006. It has long been suggested that proton transport through voltage-gated proton channels regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in phagocytes by counteracting the charge imbalance caused by the activation of NADPH oxidase. Discovery of Hv1/VSOP not only confirmed this process in phagocytes, but also led to the elucidation of novel functions in phagocytes. The compensation of charge by Hv1/VSOP sustains ROS production and is also crucial for promoting Ca²⁺ influx at the plasma membrane. In addition, proton extrusion into neutrophil phagosomes by Hv1/VSOP is necessary to maintain neutral phagosomal pH for the effective killing of bacteria. Contrary to the function of Hv1/VSOP as a positive regulator for ROS generation, it has been revealed that Hv1/VSOP also acts to inhibit ROS production in neutrophils. Hv1/VSOP inhibits hypochlorous acid production by regulating degranulation, leading to reduced inflammation upon fungal infection, and suppresses the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling by inhibiting ROS production. Thus, Hv1/VSOP is a two-way player regulating ROS production. Here, we review the functions of Hv1/VSOP in neutrophils and discuss future perspectives.

水工混凝土结构钢筋分布及锈蚀检测

钢筋是混凝土结构不可或缺的组成部分,钢筋锈蚀程度也是影响工程质量和安全运行的重要因素。在水工钢筋混凝土结构中,水这一因素的存在将会使问题更加复杂和严重。因此,对水工混凝土结构进行钢筋分布及锈蚀检测就变得尤为重要。针对上述问题,采用工程地球物理方法对混凝土结构中钢筋的分层和分布进行探测,并采用电化学方法对锈蚀程度及性状进行检测,得到水工混凝土结构钢筋分布及锈蚀概率统计,由此为混凝土结构缺陷的判断提供数据基础,最终结合裂缝分布及贯穿深度进行分析,达到对水工混凝土危险病害进行判断和识别的目的。通过实例证实,该技术体系应用效果良好,具有一定的实践应用和工程推广意义。
