Study on phase behavior–impact strength relationship of unsaturated polyester/polyurethane hybrid polymer network

The phase behavior of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) composed of poly[(propylene glycol maleate)-co-(propylene glycol phthalate)] crosslinked with styrene and polyester–urethane crosslinked with methylene-bis-ortho-chloroaniline was examined. The correlation between phase separation and impact strength of the HPNs is discussed. The composition of HPNs has an effect on their properties.     

噻二唑二聚物/丁氧基三乙二醇复合物的合成

合成了噻二唑二聚物/丁氧基三乙二醇复合物。反应物的摩尔比及反应温度影响产物作为添加剂加入到润滑脂中的抗烧结性能。在最佳反应条件下,即n(噻二唑二聚物)∶n(丁氧基三乙二醇)=0.5∶1.0,反应温度125℃时,产率为85%。通过分子模拟、红外光谱、13C核磁共振及N、S元素的含量测定,探讨了产物的结构及反应机理。结果表明,噻二唑二聚物与丁氧基三乙二醇的摩尔比越大,在金属表面形成配位的噻二唑环的个数就越多,就会表现出更强的吸附特性,从而表现出更高的抗烧结性能。     

A priori ordering protocols to support consensus-building in multiple stakeholder contexts

In a complex social, political, economic, technological, and/or environmental context, corporate, military, government, and other organizations are often faced with collective decision-making situations. The rationale for group decision exercises is that the judgment of many will usually prove superior to the judgment of one. However, it has been shown that collective decision exercises are often highly dependent on matters of perspective, values and opinion, all of which - being essentially subjective in nature - are beyond the reach of existing formal decision technology. Furthermore, it can be expected that many collective decision exercises - particularly those of strategic import - will not lend themselves to the quantitative analysis instruments that have long dominated the management and decision science repertoire. This does not, however, mean that they must remain entirely and forever outside the bounds of scientific rationality. The ordering protocols which are currently available do not have enough technical mechanics to be relied upon to bring us to any satisfying resolution of a priori disputation. Hence, we propose an a priori ordering reference model that might support consensus-building in a multiple stakeholders context. In order to detect whether the subjective arguments are products of proper reasons or merely instances of raw rhetoric and to suggest how any logical or syntactical flaws might best be repaired, we propose logical ordering facilities and protocols for integrating procedural and instrumental provisions for a group-decision process with two lines of technical innovation: the superimpositional ordering function and the logical ordering support facilities.     

Parasitic Bipolar Junction Transistors in a Floating-Gate MOSFET for Fluorescence Detection

In this letter, we examined whether the parasitic bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) in the MOSFET fabricated by the standard CMOS process can play a role as a fluorescence detector. To suppress the action of two vertical parasitic BJTs, the gate and n-well were tied in the parasitic BJTs, and the body node was connected to the drain. The proposed device was compared with the inherent and the parasitic diodes in the MOSFET. It had 100 times higher photocurrents than the diodes in the MOSFET. In addition, it was applied for the detection of the fluorescent signal, and could detect near 10 nM of Alexa 546. Therefore, CMOS-process-compatible parasitic BJTs can be used as a photodetector in an integrated fluorescence detector.     

A novel bidirectional CMOS transceiver for chip-to-chip optical interconnects

A novel bidirectional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transceiver for chip-to-chip optical interconnects operating at 2.5 Gb/s is proposed, which shares the common block of a receiver and a transmitter on a single chip. The share of the common block of two circuits makes it possible to save 55% or 20% of power dissipation, depending on the operating mode. The chip in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology occupies an area of 0.82/spl times/0.82 mm/sup 2/, 70% of the total area of a typical unshared transceiver chip. The transmitting and receiving modes of operation show -3-dB bandwidths of 2.2 and 2.4 GHz and electrical isolations of -28 and -40 dB, respectively.     

悟

“悟”是一种对客观的事和物的一种感知,是对事和物获取了解、获取知效,是人们求得理解的一种启示、一种认识的过程。一般地说,“我对事和物,意在彻悟”,是指人们得到充分的悟性,特别对意、意义的悟,有的很快领会,有的要耗费时日,有的要经过一定的时间乃至终身。悟性就是理解的     

《建筑课》之一开学了

“对于建筑事业,没有什么比让全民的建筑意识提高更重要的事情了。”五十多年前,年轻的齐康对此深信不疑,如今已是古稀之年的齐老对此仍然耿耿于怀。对于青年一代的教育,他从未放松;传统与现代的比较、东方与西方差异的研究,他从未停止。从本期起,我们将连续刊登齐康系列文章《建筑课》。     

力量空间

设计师做自己办公空间设计往往想法很多,也很苛求。这种设计状态会令将来的作品显得杂乱、稚嫩, 容易出现“昏招”,或者流于刻板、拘谨、不灵动。我懂得调整自己的状态:有时记住自己是甲方,可以任意发挥,有时把它忘了,也就不必太苛求,以致经常改动设计,不坚决。由于急于搬迁的缘故,加之那时我正好出差在外,所以本案设计周期较短。几天时间在宾馆里伏案设计,倒给出了一个好的状态:略去许多泉涌的想法, 只抓住最好的,好比画者在做速写,把控大局。凭我个人的喜好和习惯,以及对设计公司办公空间的理解与思考,我在凝神中拔高自己,发现塑造一种力量空间会比较接近于表达设计师这种群体的周遭环境,无需过多地出招,无需捕捉人的眼球。力量是潜在的,它无处不在,闭着眼也能抓住你的心。我就这样确立了设计主旨。     

Drying of persimmons (Diospyros kaki L.) and the following changes in the studied bioactive compounds and the total radical scavenging activities

Fresh persimmons were subjected to two different processes: sun-drying during 1 month and dehydration at 60 °C during 12 h. To assess the effect of this process on nutritional and health-related properties of persimmons dietary fibers, minerals, trace elements, polyphenols and the total radical scavenging activities (TRSAs) were determined before and after processing. It was found that the contents of dietary fibers, minerals and trace elements in fresh and dried persimmons fruits were comparable. Total polyphenols in fresh persimmons was higher than in dried fruits (1.3 vs. 0.9 and 0.8 mg/100 g FW, respectively) and percentage of inhibition was higher than in dried fruits (70% vs. 59% and 55% and 58% vs. 53% and 46% for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) [ABTS] radicals, respectively (P>0.05 in all cases). In conclusion: (1) the differences in the contents of dietary fibers, minerals and trace elements in fresh and dried persimmons are not significant; (2) the contents of polyphenols and the level of the TRSA are higher in fresh persimmons than in dried fruits; however, both variables are also high in dried persimmons; (3) when fresh fruits are not available, proper dried persimmons could be used as a valuable substitute.     

Destination-driven routing for low-cost multicast

We present a destination-driven algorithm that optimizes for applications, such as group video or teleconferencing, that require multicast trees with low total cost. The destination-driven algorithm uses a greedy strategy based on shortest-path trees and minimal spanning trees but biases routes through destinations. The performance of the algorithm is analyzed through extensive simulation and compared with several Steiner tree heuristics and the popular shortest-path tree (SPT) method. The algorithm is found to produce trees with significantly lower overall cost than the SPT while maintaining reasonable per-destination performance. Its performance also compares well with other known Steiner heuristics. Moreover, the algorithm does not suffer from high complexity common to most Steiner tree heuristics and builds a route by querying only incident links for cost information
