Acidic and catalytic properties of niobic acid crystallized at low temperature

Niobic acid was crystallized at 120 °C for 48 h, which showed the largest acid amounts at higher acid strengths. The crystallized niobic acid calcined at 300 °C was found to show higher activity than uncrystallized niobic acid and niobic acid washed with water or treated with sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid for the dehydration of isopropanol and the esterification of ethanol with acetic acid.     

Synthesis of carbon nanocapsules containing Fe, Ni or Co by arc discharge in aqueous solution

A simple, inexpensive and one-step synthesis method of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules using an arc discharge in aqueous solution is reported. It was found that Ni, Co and Fe nanoparticles could be in situ encapsulated in carbon shells when the arc was performed respectively in aqueous solutions of NiSO₄, CoSO₄ and FeSO₄. Transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron diffraction patterns of selected areas were used to determine the crystalline phase of the metal cores. To explain the formation mechanism of metal-containing carbon nanocapsules, a model of discharge in solution is proposed. This result presents a simply controllable way to synthesize metal-containing carbon nanocapsules.     

Integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures with exact frequency constraints

The present paper studies the integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures under natural frequency constraints. It is found that, unlike the conventional compliance-oriented topology optimization problems, the considered problem may be strongly singular in the sense that the corresponding feasible domain may be disconnected and the global optimal solutions are often located at the tips of some separated low dimensional sub-domains when the cross-sectional areas of the structural components are used as design variables. As in the case of stress-constrained topology optimization, this unpleasant behavior may prevent the gradient-based numerical optimization algorithms from finding the true optimal topologies. To overcome the difficulties posed by the strongly singular optima, some particular forms of area/moment of inertia-density interpolation schemes, which can restore the connectedness of the feasible domain, are proposed. Based on the proposed optimization model, the probability of finding the strongly singular optimum with gradient-based algorithms can be increased. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Direct synthesis of electrorheological suspension containing salt of poly(methacrylic acid) and its electrorheological effect

Colloidal suspensions containing salts of poly(methacrylic acid) which exhibit high electrorheological (ER) activity were synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization. Factors influencing the ER effect were studied. The results showed that maximum yield stress occurred at optimum amounts of both polymeric stabilizer and crosslinking agent used in the inverse emulsion polymerization as well as a certain water content of the particles, while yield stress increased with electric field strength, average diameter of the particles below 0.9 μm, or the molar ratio of the salt to the acid. The ER activity for the suspensions containing different monovalent counter ions decreased in the following order: Li⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ > NH₄⁺. The phenomena were discussed with the ionic polarization mechanism. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

浅析江西农民增收的影响因素

江西农民收入在新世纪以来有了可喜的变化,但必须看到,江西农民人均纯收入与江西生产总值的增长,以及与城镇居民可支配收入的增加相比,与东部发达省份的农民收入相比,甚至与中部地区大部分省份相比,其增加还是缓幔的。江西省委、省政府历来十分重视“三农”问题。新时期江西农民收入增长比较快,但幅度不大,具体情况是工资性纯收入和外出务工收入增加较快,一产纯收入仍占主要份额,地区发展不平衡。影响江西农民收入的因素有：二、三产的比重太少,农民非企业组织收入少,农民家庭收入增长慢。

目前,金融危机已对全球实体经济产生了巨大的冲击,2008年世界经济已明显放缓,下行风险逐步加大,前景更加不确定。中国经济虽一支独秀,但毫无疑问也会受到外部因素冲击从而影响国内经济发展,以投资和外向型贸易为特点的中国经济急需新技术和高科技领域经济增长来改变现有传统经济增长模式,而LED行业就是这样的代表性行业。本论文立足于当前世界金融危机整体发展局势,重点分析了当前金融危机对LED行业的影响,并对江西LED行业发展的整体环境及发展趋势进行了探讨和分析。     

基于LMS算法改进Cupo相位抖动补偿方法

为了增加FIR-ALE(Finite Impulse Response-Adaptive Linear Enhancer)相位噪声补偿系统的补偿能力,本文基于LMS算法对Cupo的FIR-ALE系统进行改进,并对8PSK调制方式下的信号进行了Matlab仿真,通过对信号功率谱、误比特率以及星座图的分析,对比了两种方法.仿真结果表明,改进后的系统对于幅度为5°、频率为120 Hz的相位抖动,能够将抖动衰减25 dB左右;对于幅度为15°、频率为25 Hz的相位抖动,改进后的LMS系统能将抖动衰减35 dB左右.而且,随着相位抖动幅度的增大,改进的LMS方法的补偿能力同Cupo的FIR-ALE方法比较,性能逐渐提高.     

Oxidation behavior and mechanism of aluminum oxynitride (AlON) at elevated temperatures

The oxidation behavior and mechanism of aluminum oxynitride (AlON) powder exposed to air at elevated temperatures between 800°C and 1300°C was investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron spin resonance (ESR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and simultaneous thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and mass spectrometry techniques (TG-DTA-MS). The weight of AlON gradually increases to a maximum value at 1150°C and then decreases with further heating. Meanwhile, AlON powder undergoes chemical changes, as evidenced by lattice expansion, and turns eventually into alumina. ESR spectra reveal the occurrence of lone pair electrons in the oxidized products and the intensity of corresponding resonance signal increases before disappearing with the increase in temperature. Combined with the results of NMR and TG-DTA-MS, the measured data suggest that Al-N in [AlO₃N] tetrahedron and [AlO₅N] octahedron are gradually oxidized into Al-O-N group with lone pair electrons, which causes continuous weight gain and lattice expansion. Further oxidation at higher temperatures results in alumina and N₂.     

Engineering all-aromatic polyamide surface from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic and the accelerated strategy

Being a new kind of nanomaterials, aromatic polyamide nanofibers (ANF) have been much highlighted in recent studies. We here demonstrate an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) accelerated chemical cleavage on poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) chopped fibers, which provides an efficient preparation method of ANF. The comprehensive study on the processes accelerated by different alcohols revealed that the preparation time of ANF in the mixed medium of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-alcohol (20:1 in volume) was shorten to 45 min and 75 min for methanol (ethanol) and isopropanol, respectively. However, the nanofibers prepared in DMSO-IPA exhibited the minimum in axial and radial dimensions, providing the finest and most uniform diameter of 16 nm. The corresponding ANF films through vacuum assisted filtration also showed the highest tensile strength of 150 MPa, in comparison with those of the ANF films prepared using other alcohols, which were about 110 MPa. Furthermore, ANF/silicon hybrid films were prepared by the ionic ring-opening reaction followed by the alkoxysilane condensation and nanoparticle fabrication. By changing the organo functional groups in the alkoxysilane, the surface of the films were adjustable in a wide contact angle range from 56° (hydrophilic) to 150° (superhydrophobic), suggesting the amendable interfacial properties potential applicable to composite fabrication with most of the resin matrix.
