Progresses and advances in Arctic underwater acoustics study

As a part of underwater acoustics, the study and development of Arctic Acoustics is later than underwater acoustics about several hundred years. After World War II, the study of Arctic Acoustics attracts many interests by some developed countries, especially U.S. and pre-Soviet Union. The research works obviously have some kinds of cold war brand. After the Cold War, with the gradual warming trend of Arctic area, the ocean acoustic environment in Arctic and its adjacent area have been considerably concerned. The 8 countries of Arctic rim organized exclusive "Arctic Council" in 1996. The white paper of "China Arctic Policy"was published in January 26, 2018, the Chinese government declared that China is a close Arctic country, and is the responsible stakeholder of Arctic interests. The new advances in Arctic research works axe introduced in this paper, including the results of scientific survey and studies about Arctic underwater acoustics of Chinese researchers. It is showed that the Arctic underwater acoustical research area is not only parallely copy the topics what traditional underwater acoustics covered, e.g. environment noise,reverberation,and propagation, but also the topics which is specifically based on the Arctic environment. Some of these research fields cannot be included in the traditional shallow water, deep water acoustics, e.g. the ice-water interface feature, ice covered semi-acoustic channel effect, the communication and navigation of UUV in the condition of under ice, and the adaptation of sonar technique, equipment in the ice-covered environment, etc.

Variation of gamma radiation shielding properties with incident photon energy and penetration depth for WC/Al composites

In this work, we examined the usefulness of the WC_x/Al_100?x composites (x?=?10, 20, 50, 80 wt. %) for gamma-ray shielding materials. The mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), effective atomic number (Z_eff), electron density (N_e) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) and exposure buildup factor (EBF) for WC_x/Al_100?x composites have been calculated by theoretical approach using XCOM program within the energy range 1?keV–100?GeV, 10 keV–1?GeV, 10 keV–1?GeV and 0.015?MeV–15?MeV, respectively. The results showed that both the values of mass attenuation coefficient and Z_eff of the WC_x/Al_100?x composites tend to increase with the increase of the WC concentration. For the energy region below 3?MeV, the WC₈₀/Al₂₀ composite was found to possess superior gamma-ray shielding effectiveness due to its higher values of both mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number, and lower values of both EABF and EBF values. However, for the energy region above 3?MeV, the EBF and EABF values of the WC/Al composites are directly proportional to their Z_eff values, leading to the lowest EBF and EABF values of the WC₁₀/Al₉₀ composites.     

Surface modification of Mg2B2O5 whisker and its effect on the mechanical properties and thermostability of polycarbonate/Mg2B2O5w composites

The Mg₂B₂O₅ whiskers (Mg₂B₂O₅w) were modified by boric acid ester (BE) coupling agent and used to prepare polycarbonate (PC) composites. Surface wettability test and evaluation of dispersibility of BE-modified Mg₂B₂O₅w (BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w) in n-heptane were carried out by water contact angle measurement and polarizing microscopy, respectively. The surface chemical characteristics of BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w and estimation of the amount of tightly bonded organic modifier were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The influence of BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w on the mechanical property, morphology and thermostability of PC composites was investigated by using universal testing machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and TGA, respectively. It was found that BE was successfully grafted to the surface of Mg₂B₂O₅w, and the hydrophobic BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w leads to high ratio of adhesion work to interfacial tension between PC and BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w, and its better dispersibility in n-heptane. Furthermore, the incorporation of BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w into PC matrix resulted in higher tensile properties of PC/BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w than that of PC/Mg₂B₂O₅w composites and lower maximum weight loss rate than that of PC. The storage modulus of the PC/Mg₂B₂O₅w composites increased obviously as a function of whisker content, especially for the composites with BE-Mg₂B₂O₅w, but the T_g value changed little.

Reduction of the concentration difference of proteins in biological liquids using a library of combinatorial ligands

The discovery of polypeptides and proteins with relevance to a particular biological state is complicated by their vast number and concentration range in most biological mixtures. Depletion methodologies are frequently used to remove the most abundant species; however, this removal not only fails significantly to enrich trace proteins, it may also nonspecifically deplete them due to their interactions with the removed high-abundance proteins. Here we report a simple-to-use methodology that reduces the protein concentration range of a complex mixture like whole serum through the simultaneous dilution of high-abundance proteins and the concentration of low-abundance proteins. This methodology utilizes solid-phase ligand libraries of immense diversity, generated by "split, couple, recombine" combinatorial chemistry, that are used for affinity-based binding to the proteins of a given mixture. With a controlled sample-to-ligand ratio it is possible to modulate the relative concentration of proteins such that many peptides or proteins that are undetectable by classical analytical methods become easily accessible. The reduction in the dynamic range of unfractionated serum is specifically described along with treatment of other proteomes such as extracts from Escherichia coli, chicken egg white and cell culture supernatant. Mono- and bi-dimensional electrophoresis (1-DE and 2-DE respectively) and surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) technology demonstrate the reduction in protein concentration range. Combining this approach with additional fractionation methods further increased the number of detectable species.

Structural, elastic and electronic properties of transition metal carbides TMC (TM=Ti, Zr, Hf and Ta) from first-principles calculations

The structural, elastic and electronic properties of TiC, ZrC, HfC and TaC have been investigated by first-principles calculations using the plane-wave pseudopotential method. Different exchange-correlation functionals regarding the local density approximation and the PBE, RPBE and PW91 forms of generalized gradient approximation are taken into account. The NaCl-type cubic structures of TMC (TM=Ti, Zr, Hf and Ta) are optimized and confirmed to be mechanically stable. The elastic properties such as the elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of TMC are investigated, and the performances of LDA and GGA are discussed. The electronic density of state, electron charge density and Mulliken population analysis have been explored to discuss the electronic properties and bonding behaviors of TMC. The present calculation results compare satisfactorily with the experimental data and previous theoretical calculations.
