Controllable Preparation of Nanosized LiMnPO4/C with Rod-Like Morphology by Hydrothermal Method with Excellent Electrochemical Performance

The nanosized rod-like LiMnPO₄/C cathode materials have successfully in situ synthesized on the surface of flaky structure MnPO₄ · H₂O self-sacrificing template by the hydrothermal method. The crystal microstructure, micro shape, and electrochemical parameters of LiMnPO₄/C are comprehensively studied by XRD, SEM, TEM, and electrochemical measurement methods. The physical and chemical properties analysis confirms that the vinyl acetate solution (VAc-H₂O) with a proper molar ratio is beneficial to generate orthorhombic olivine structure LiMnPO₄ with microporous structure and nanorod-shaped morphology. The electrochemical measurement results indicate that LMP-X1-AA sample delivers an initial discharge capacity of 148.1 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.05 C, the capacity retention rate still maintains at 89.2% after 200 cycles. As the discharge rate increases to 1 C, the discharge capacity still remains at 133.4 mAh g⁻¹. The results indicate that the synergistic effect of nanosized rod-like morphology and conductive carbon coating is beneficial to improving the lithium ions diffusivity and electrochemical properties of LiMnPO₄ materials.     

Effects of ultrasound treatment on the morphological characteristics,structures and emulsifying properties of genipin cross-linked myofibrillar protein

Genipin is a natural crosslinker that improves the functional properties of proteins by modifying its structures. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sonication on the emulsifying properties of different genipin concentration-induced myofibrillar protein (MP) cross-linking. The structural characteristics, solubility, emulsifying properties, and rheological properties of genipin-induced MP crosslinking without sonication (Native), sonication before crosslinking (UMP), and sonication after crosslinking (MPU) treatments were determined, and the interaction between genipin and MP were estimated by molecular docking. The results demonstrated that hydrogen bond might be the main forces for genipin binding to the MP, and 0.5 μM/mg genipin was a desirable concentration for protein cross-linking to improve MP emulsion stability. Ultrasound treatment before and after crosslinking were better than Native treatment to improve the emulsifying stability index (ESI) of MP. Among the three treatment groups at the 0.5 μM/mg genipin treatment, the MPU treatment group showed the smallest size, most uniform protein particle distribution, and the highest ESI (59.89%). Additionally, the highest α-helix (41.96%) in the MPU + G5 group may be conducive to the formation of a stable and multilayer oil–water interface. Furthermore, the free groups, solubility, and protein exposure extent of the MPU groups were higher than those of UMP and Native groups. Therefore, this work suggests that the treatment of cross-linking followed by ultrasound (MPU) could be a desirable approach for improving the emulsifying stability of MP.     

Photonic graphene with reconfigurable geometric structures in coherent atomic ensembles

Photonic graphene, possesses a honeycomb-like geometric structure, provides a superior platform for simulating photonic bandgap, Dirac physics, and topological photonics. Here, the photonic graphene with reconfigurable geometric structures is demonstrated in a 5S_1/2 − 5P_3/2 − 5D_5/2 cascade-type ⁸⁵Rb atomic ensembles. A strong hexagonal-coupling field, formed by the interference of three identical coupling beams, is responsible for optically inducing photonic graphene in atomic vapor. The incident weak probe beam experiences discrete diffraction, and the observed pattern at the output plane of vapor cell exhibits a clear hexagonal intensity distribution. The complete photonic graphene geometries from transversely stretched to longitudinally stretched are conveniently constructed by varying the spatial arrangement of three coupling beams, and the corresponding diffraction patterns are implemented theoretically and experimentally to map these distorted geometric structures. Moreover, the distribution of lattice sites intensity in photonic graphene is further dynamically adjusted by two-photon detuning and the coupling beams power. This work paves the way for further investigation of light transport and graphene dynamics.     

Graph theoretical duality perspective on conjugate structures and its applications

The paper shows that representing structures, beams and frames by mathematical models based on graph theory enables to provide new perspective on known conjugate structure theorems in mechanics. It is shown that the latter theorems can be derived from the graph theoretical duality principle applied upon the graph representations of the structures. The results reported indicate upon theoretical value of the approach, as the established mathematical foundation can be employed in a variety of mechanical disciplines.     

Torsion of Thin Tubes With Multicell Cross‐Section

It is known that the classical technical theories of Bredt and of sectorial areas are the variational limit of the SaintVenant torsion problem for hollow homogeneous isotropic cylinders with thin doubly connected crosssection when the wall thickness reaches zero. The main goal of this paper is to prove that the same result remains true for thin tubes with multicell crosssection.Sommario. E noto che le classiche teorie tecniche di Bredt e delle aree settoriali sono il limite variazionale del problema della torsione alla De SaintVenant per cilindri lunghi con sezione cava biconnessa quando lo spessore della parete tende a zero. In questo lavoro si estende il risultato alle sezioni multiconnesse con ordine di connessione qualsiasi.

基于Pushover分析的钢框架整体刚度和屈服强度的概率统计特性

近年来随着静力弹塑性分析Pushover方法的广泛应用，基于Pushover分析的结构整体可靠度分析引起了人们很大兴趣。然而，该方法在分析结构承载力的概率特性时，需要进行大量样本的Pushover分析。本文以钢框架结构为例，考虑了结构构件面积、材料弹性模量、屈服强度、恒荷载和活荷载的随机性，根据不同的水平荷载模式对钢框架进行Pushover分析，对钢框架的双线性整体抗力模型参数(弹性刚度、屈服后刚度和屈服强度)的概率分布特性进行K-S检验，并得到了有关统计叁数．结果表明钢框架双线性整体抗力模型参数均服从对教正态分布．     

On the nonlinear mechanics of discrete networks

Summary A formulation of the equilibrium problem for nonlinear elastic networks is presented. Explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for minimum-energy configurations are derived. These are used to generate a relaxed formulation of the theory in which fibre slackening is accounted for automatically. For the relaxed problem, minimum-energy and uniqueness theorems are proved and used as the basis of a numerical method in which equilibrium configurations are recovered asymptotically in the long-time limit of an artificial dynamical problem. Such an approach is particularly useful for networks, as stiffness-based equilibrium formulations are known to suffer from ill-conditioning in a wide variety of applications. Several illustrative examples are discussed. Accepted for publication 22 June 1996
