Influence of arsenic, antimony and cobalt impurities on the cathodic process in zinc electrowinning

By means of an electrochemical study, the influence of arsenic, antimony and cobalt on cathodic polarization in the zinc electrowinning process, the associated kinetic equations and parameters, and the polarization mechanism have been studied. The results show that the experimental values of the kinetic parameters are in accord with the theoretical values in the ZnSO₄/H₂SO₄ solution with a single impurity is added. In contrast, the charge transfer coefficient α is smaller than the theoretical value in the ZnSO₄/H₂SO₄ solution when the three impurities are added together.     

Chiral assembly of achiral pseudoisocyanine with D- and L-phenylalanine

Supramolecular chirality and molecular self-assembly are important and interesting phenomena in living and non-living systems.In this work,supramolecular chirality of achiral pseudoisocyanine(PIC) J-aggregates was successfully induced by D-,L-phenylalanine(Phe) and other amino acids in NaCl solution.The chiral J-aggregates showed a characteristic,induced circular dichroism(ICD) in the visible region of J-band chromophore which depends on the absolute configuration,concentration and side groups of α-amino ac...

Size effect in plastically deformed passivated thin films

The flow theory of mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity theory (MSG) developed by Qiu et al. (2003) is extended for incompressible material. The MSG flow theory is used to predict the increase of plastic work hardening for plane strain tension of surface-passivated Cu thin film. The theoretical predictions agree well with experiments for suitably chosen material parameters. Contributed by HWANG Keh-Chih     

The first-principle study on the equation of state of HMX under high pressure

The equation of states (EOS) of high energy explosive HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) has been studied by using the first principle method. Our results include the lattice constants, elastic constants, and the dependence of total energy and pressure on volume for βand δ-HMX. The calculated elastic constants and the pressure-volume relationship of β-HMX are also compared with the experimental values. The theoretical tensile experiments are implemented on the β-HMX. The atomic-scale ana...     

制备方法对聚合物共混物相分离与黏弹弛豫的影响

采用小角激光光散射(SALLS)和动态流变方法研究了通过不同制备方法得到的等规聚丙烯/乙丙橡胶共混物(iPP/EPR)的相分离行为与黏弹行为.依据Cahn-Hilliard-Cook理论分析了熔融共混和溶液共混法制备的质量比为60/40和40/60的iPP/EPR共混物在恒温相分离早期的动力学,发现熔融共混iPP/EPR具有更大的表观扩散系数(Dapp).相分离中后期的实验结果表明,当相区尺寸增长程度相同时,熔融共混试样所用时间更短.表明熔融共混iPP/EPR试样具有更快的相分离速率.动态流变测试结果表明,与溶液共混相比,熔融共混试样具有更快的松弛速率.考虑到相分离过程实质是由高分子链的运动与扩散所控制,两种方法制备的iPP/EPR共混物相分离速率的差异应归于其分子链运动能力的不同.     

Preparation and evaluation of nano-hydroxyapatite/poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) porous microsphere for aspirin carrier

A novel vehicle for the delivery of aspirin (ASA) was prepared from porous nano-hydroxyapatite/poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) [nano-HAP/P(St-DVB)] composite microspheres by grafting nano-HAP [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] onto porous P(St-DVB) microspheres. Four types of porous composite microspheres were prepared, each with different nano-HAP contents. The ASA-loaded composite microspheres prepared with 10% and 15% nano-HAP (mass ratio) exhibited excellent buoyancy with relatively short instantaneous floating time (within 10 min) and a long sustained floating time (12 h) in simulated gastric juice. They also offered good sustained release of ASA (up to 8 h). Furthermore, these composite microspheres displayed good buffering capacity that prevented the buildup of acidity caused by hydrolysis of ASA, keeping the pH of gastric juice within the normal range (pH 0.9 to 1.5). The results showed that porous nano-HAP/P(St-DVB) composite microspheres prepared with 10% and 15% nano-HAP could be used as a novel drug carrier for ASA, providing a sustained release dose without leading to stomach irritation, a side effect that is often associated with ASA medication.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions on n-qudit state for perfect teleportation of an arbitrary single qudit state

Firstly, we investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions that an entangled channel of n-qubits should satisfy to carry out perfect teleportation of an arbitrary single qubit state and dense coding. It is shown that the sender can transmit two classical bits of information by sending one qubit. Further, the case of high-dimension quantum state is also considered. Utilizing n-qudit state as quantum channel, it is proposed that the necessary and sufficient conditions are in all to teleport an arbitrary single qudit state. The sender can transmit 2log₂d classical bits of information to the receiver conditioned on the constraints.
