DIFFUSION-DRIVEN INSTABILITY IN THE GIERER-MEINHARDT MODEL OF MORPHOGENESIS

In this paper, we consider the Gierer-Meinhardt model of morphogenesis. It is shown that the homogeneous equilibrium solution and the homogeneous periodic solution become diffusively unstable if the diffusion coefficients of the two substances are chosen suitably.     

Improved Stretchable and Sensitive Fe Nanowire-Based Strain Sensor by Optimizing Areal Density of Nanowire Network

Flexible strain sensors, when considering high sensitivity and a large strain range, have become a key requirement for current robotic applications. However, it is still a thorny issue to take both factors into consideration at the same time. Here, we report a sandwich-structured strain sensor based on Fe nanowires (Fe NWs) that has a high GF (37–53) while taking into account a large strain range (15–57.5%), low hysteresis (2.45%), stability, and low cost with an areal density of Fe NWs of 4.4 mg/cm². Additionally, the relationship between the contact point of the conductive network, the output resistance, and the areal density of the sensing unit is analyzed. Microscopically, the contact points of the conductive network directly affect the sensor output resistance distribution, thereby affecting the gauge factor (GF) of the sensor. Macroscopically, the areal density and the output resistivity of the strain sensor have the opposite percolation theory, which affects its linearity performance. At the same time, there is a positive correlation between the areal density and the contact point: when the stretching amount is constant, it theoretically shows that the areal density affects the GF. When the areal density reaches this percolation threshold range, the sensing performance is the best. This will lay the foundation for rapid applications in wearable robots.

本文研究了Ba1-xCaxFCl:Eu体系及其发光。从差热分析相图和X射线衍射分析发现在Ba1-xCaxFCl体系中存在着Ba0.5Ca0.5FCl这个物相。Ba1-xCaxFCl:Eu体系在X射线激发下的发光包含一个3630Å的锐峰和一宽带发射峰,其峰值由BaFCl:Eu的3868Å到CaFCl:Eu的4640Å,阴极射线和紫外线激发下的发射光谱与此类似。在X射线激发下,Ba0.8Ca0.2FCl:Eu的发光最强,而在阴极射线激发下,CaFCl:Eu的发光强度最大,在紫外线激发下,Ba1-xCaxFCl:Eu的发光强度校弱。在以上三种激发情况下,Ba0.5Ca0.5FCl:Eu的发光都比较弱。     

Description of proton-calcium scattering using the α-particle model

The theoretical proton-⁴⁰Ca optical potential is constructed based on theα-particle model of the nucleus. With this potential, the differential cross section, analysing power and the spin rotation function for 200 MeV proton-⁴⁰Ca elastic scattering are calculated. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Average consensus of multi-agent systems with communication time delays and noisy links

In this paper,we consider the average-consensus problem with communication time delays and noisy links.We analyze two different cases of coupling topologies:fixed and switching topologies.By utilizing the stability theory of the stochastic differential equations,we analytically show that the average consensus could be achieved almost surely with the perturbation of noise and the communication time delays even if the time delay is time-varying.The theoretical results show that multi-agent systems can tolerate relatively large time delays if the noise is weak,and they can tolerate relatively strong noise if the time delays are low.The simulation results show that systems with strong noise intensities yield slow convergence.

Preparation of Poly (L-lactic Acid) Microsphere

Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) microspheres were prepared by a solvent evaporation method based on an oil/water emulsion. The effect of the mass ratio of PLLA and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) on the formation of the microspheres was discussed, and the influence of extraction speed of dichloromethane on the microsphere morphology was also studied. Moreover, the influences of the PLLA concentration and the volume ratio of water phase to dichloromethane phase were investigated. The results showed that stable microspheres can be obtained under the conditions that the mass ratio of PLLA to PVA is 20:1. Porous microspheres were obtained under faster evaporating speed of dichloromethane. The microsphere size increased with increasing PLLA concentration. The microsphere size also increased with the increase of the volume ratio of water phase to dichloromethane phase.

Direct observation of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering in ZnO nanocrystals

We have been able to observe the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from 4‐mercaptopyridine (4‐Mpy) molecules adsorbed on ZnO nanocrystals, which display 10³ enhancement factors (EFs). An excitation wavelength‐dependent behavior is clearly observed. Another molecule BVPP is also observed to have surface‐enhanced Raman signals. The chemical enhancement is most likely responsible for the observed enhancement, since plasmon resonances are ruled out. The research is important not only for a better understanding of the SERS mechanism, but also for extension of the application of Raman spectroscopy to a variety of adsorption problems on a semiconductor surface.
