Creep of two Ni-AI alloys containing 4.8 and 7.0 wt pct Al was studied in the temperature range 873 to 1073 K and stress range
30 to 400 MPa. The former alloy represents the solid solution of aluminum in nickel, the latter a solid solution strengthened
by NI3AI particles.
As to its creep behavior the solid solution alloy belongs to the Class n of solid solu-tions,i.e. the creep controlling mechanism is the same as in pure nickel. From the analy-sis of an effective stress dependence of steady
state creep rate it follows that the mo-tion of jogged screw dislocations can be considered as the most probable creep control-ling
mechanism.
The apparent activation energy of creep in the two phase alloy increases with tempera-ture. This effect is caused by changes
in the volume fraction of second phase particles and by the onset of climb around particles at high temperatures. At lower
temperatures particles are cut by dislocation pairs. 相似文献
Zusammenfassung Vergleichend-anatomische Untersuchungen des Holzes vonPopulus Simonii undPopulus robusta ergaben, da? die besten Unterscheidungsmerkmale für diese beiden Pappelarten Unterschiede in den Markstrahlh?hen und im Reichtum
an Strangparenchym sind. Auf Grund der vergleichend-physikalischen Untersuchung wird das Holz vonP. robusta als “ziemlich schwer”, das Holz vonP. Simonii als “mittelschwer” befunden. BeiP. Simonii besteht au?erdem eine Beziehung zwischen Rohwichte und Raumschwindung. Die Schwindung im Splint der Balsampappel ist wesentlich
geringer als diejenige beiP. robusta.
Comparative study on the anatomical and physical properties of wood ofPopulus Simonii andPopulus robusta
Summary Comparative anatomical studies on the wood of Populus Simonii and Populus robusta proved that their differences in ray height
and richness in parenchyma are the most reliable characteristics for the distinction of these two poplar species. According
to the results of comparative physical investigations the wood of P. robusta is designated as “rather heavy”, the wood of
P. Simonii is found to be of “medium weight”. In the case of P. Simonii there is also a relationship between density and volume
shrinkage. The shrinkage in the sapwood of balsam-poplar is considerably less than that of P. robusta.
This work presents the first application of high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) 1H NMR spectroscopy to human liver biopsy samples, allowing a determination of their metabolic profiles before removal from donors, during cold perfusion, and after implantation into recipients. The assignment of peaks observed in the 1H HR-MAS NMR spectra was aided by the use of two-dimensional J-resolved, TOCSY and 1H-13C HMQC spectra. The spectra were dominated by resonances from triglycerides, phospholipids, and glycogen and from a variety of small molecules including glycerophosphocholine (GPC), glucose, lactate, creatine, acetate, amino acids, and nucleoside-related compounds such as uridine and adenosine. In agreement with histological data obtained on the same biopsies, two of the six livers were found to contain high amounts of triglycerides by NMR spectroscopy, which also indicated that these tissues contained a higher degree of unsaturated lipids and a lower proportion of phospholipids and low molecular weight compounds. Additionally, proton T2 relaxation times indicated two populations of lipids, a higher mobility triglyceride fraction and a lower mobility phospholipid fraction, the proportions of which changed according to the degree of fat content. GPC was found to decrease from the pretransplant to the posttransplant biopsy of all livers except for one with a histologically confirmed high lipid content, and this might represent a biomarker of liver function posttransplantation. NMR signals produced by the liver preservation solution were clearly detected in the cold perfusion stage biopsies of all livers but remained in the posttransplant spectra of only the two livers with a high lipid content and were prominent mainly in the graft that later developed primary graft dysfunction. This study has shown biochemical differences between livers used for transplants that can be related to the degree and type of lipid composition. This technology might therefore provide a novel screening approach for donor organ quality and a means to assess function in the recipient after transplantation. 相似文献
The Qubit neuron model is a new non-standard computing scheme that has been found by simulations to have efficient processing
abilities. In this paper we investigate the usefulness of the model for a non linear kinetic control application of an inverted
pendulum on a cart. Simulations show that a neural network based on Qubit neurons would swing up and stabilize the pendulum,
yet it also requires a shorter range over which the cart moves as compared to a conventional neural network model. 相似文献
Contrary to the views of some influential analysts of the US economy, it is argued in this paper that the decline in the value of US currency has been a direct result of the drastic increase in the dollar value of US oil imports and the subsequent efforts to maintain US production and employment levels. Increased inflation is, it is suggested, mainly a by product of this currency devaluation. The author analyses the problem and outlines some solutions. 相似文献
Plasmonic Ag@ZnO core@shell nanoparticles are formed by synthesis inside helium droplets with subsequent deposition and controlled oxidation. The particle size and shape can be controlled from spherical sub-10 nm particles to larger elongated structures. An advantage of the method is the complete absence of solvents, precursors, and other chemical agents. The obtained particle morphology and elemental composition have been analyzed by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results reveal that the produced particles form a closed and homogeneous ZnO layer around a 2–3 nm Ag core with a uniform thickness of (1.33 ± 0.15) nm and (1.63 ± 0.31) nm for spherical and wire-like particles, respectively. The results are supported by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), which indicates a fully oxidized shell layer for the particles studied by STEM. The plasmonic properties of the produced spherical Ag@ZnO core@shell particles are investigated by two-photon photoelectron (2PPE) spectroscopy. Upon excitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance in Ag at around 3 eV, plasmonic enhancement leads to the liberation of electrons with high kinetic energy. This is observed for both Ag and Ag@ZnO particles, showing that even if a Ag cluster is covered by the ZnO layer, a plasmonic enhancement can be observed by photoelectron spectroscopy.
An optical rosette that incorporates fiber Bragg gratings as strain gauges has been designed, fabricated, and tested. We investigated it by measuring the state of strain of a thin plate as the test structure submitted to an increasing load in a four-point bending configuration and for various angular orientations. This device has also been successfully investigated as a self-temperature-compensated in situ uniaxial strain sensor without any angular dependence and with high accuracy in recovery analysis, leading us to expect many industrial applications. Printed circuit processes or integrated optics on polymers would provide a means for accuracy, reproducibility, and integration in a mass-produced process. 相似文献
Bulk‐heterojunction organic photovoltaic materials containing nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have seen remarkable advances in the past year, finally surpassing fullerenes in performance. Indeed, acceptors based on indacenodithiophene (IDT) have become synonymous with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Nevertheless, NFAs have yet to achieve fill factors (FFs) comparable to those of the highest‐performing fullerene‐based materials. To address this seeming anomaly, this study examines a high efficiency IDT‐based acceptor, ITIC , paired with three donor polymers known to achieve high FFs with fullerenes, PTPD3T , PBTI3T , and PBTSA3T . Excellent PCEs up to 8.43% are achieved from PTPD3T:ITIC blends, reflecting good charge transport, optimal morphology, and efficient ITIC to PTPD3T hole‐transfer, as observed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Hole‐transfer is observed from ITIC to PBTI3T and PBTSA3T , but less efficiently, reflecting measurably inferior morphology and nonoptimal energy level alignment, resulting in PCEs of 5.34% and 4.65%, respectively. This work demonstrates the importance of proper morphology and kinetics of ITIC → donor polymer hole‐transfer in boosting the performance of polymer: ITIC photovoltaic bulk heterojunction blends. 相似文献
Using a scanning electron microscope, we make real-time movies of gold nanowires during the process of electromigration. We confirm the importance of using a small series resistance when employing electromigration to make controlled nanometer-scale gaps suitable for molecular-electronics studies. We are also able to estimate the effective temperature experienced by molecular adsorbates on the nanowire during the electromigration process. 相似文献
