Morphology,crystal structure and hydration of calcined and modified anhydrite

The effects of calcination and modification on the morphology （shapes and textures） and crystal structure of anhydrite powders were studied. The results show that, calcination at 100℃ causes anhydrite to disintegrate into smaller crystals, accompanied by a slight in- crease in d-spacing. Without calcination and modification, the solidification time and curing time of anhydrite are 15 and 77 h, respectively. After the treatment, however, the solidification time and curing time are shortened significantly to 9.5 and 14 rain, respectively. The com- pressive and flexural strengths of hydration products made from the treated anhydrite reach 10.2 and 2.0 MPa, respectively. The much shorter solidification and curing time make it possible to use anhydrite as a building and construction material.     

一种改进的ViBe目标检测算法

现有ViBe目标检测算法存在误检率高,得到的结果噪声较大的问题。为此本文提出了一种将判定阈值自适应规则与优化结果反馈机制相结合的改进算法。该算法首先使用样本自身统计值作为阈值进行目标检测;接着对检测结果进行去噪、形态学处理等优化处理;最后将优化后的检测结果反馈给背景模型更新过程使检测更精确。与传统的ViBe算法相比,本文算法可更精确的提取出运动目标,误判率低,过检率较原始算法降低10%-20%。实验结果证明了该算法的有效性。     

探针对原子力显微镜成像的影响

原子力显微镜（Atomic Force Microscope,AFM）的一个重要应用就是对样品表面的微纳米级尺寸特征进行成像,但在扫描成像的过程中,由于针尖的影响作用,使得扫描所获图像是原子力探针和样品共同作用的结果,而不是样品形貌的真实描述。本文通过用具有不同形状、尺寸针尖的探针对同一样品进行成像,将所得图像进行分析、对比,模拟和实验结果表明,为获得更准确的特征尺寸成像,对有不同特征尺寸的样品,需要选择适合的探针对其实施成像。     

The relation between the parabolic rate constants for the internal oxidation of binary alloys in terms of weight gain or thickness

A calculation of the parabolic rate law for internal oxidation in binary alloys expressed in terms of weight gain shows that its dependence on the concentration of the most-reactive component is different from that predicted by the classical Wagner treatment for the rate constant expressed in terms of thickness of the internal oxidation zone. It is shown that the ratio between the two rate constants for a given system is a very sensitive function of the concentration of the reactive element in the alloy.     

Investigation of packaging adhesive properties by molecular dynamics and experiments

Adhesive polymer is a common and important material used for packaging of microelectronics and microsystem by attaching dies onto packaging shell, and its mechanical property plays a vital role in isolating dies from the thermal stress of substrate. Therefore, it is extremely significant to evaluate the polymer property in a specific packaging process. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is conducted in this article to investigate the material properties of the cross-linked epoxy resin formed by epoxy resin component diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA) and curing agent 1,6-Diaminohexane. The polymer network with conversion up to 87.5% is successfully generated and simulated by constant pressure-constant temperature ensemble (NPT) and canonical ensemble (NVT) at different temperatures of curing process. Glass transition temperature (T_g) and Young's modulus are extracted and the predicted material properties are in great agreement with the experimental data. The conclusion provides a guideline to design the special curing process for different adhesive requirements.     

Mechanical nondiscoloring and antistretching photonic crystal films based on Zn2+ coordination and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose

Mechanical nondiscoloring and antistretching photonic crystal (PC) films, especially those with stable structure colors during deformation, have great potential applications in wearable display devices, decoration, and packaging. Here, PC films with antistretching and invariant structural colors during deformation were prepared, by combining Zn²⁺ coordinated elastic material and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with polystyrene@silica (PS@SiO₂) colloidal crystals. The PC films release energy by forming local fractures at a microscopic level during the straining process but the lattice spacing and effective refractive index of the local array do not change. According to the Bragg law, the structure color remains unchanged. The introduction of HPMC gave the PC films excellent tensile properties, and the maximum tensile strength reached 10 MPa. And after 100 times of stretching, bending and compression cycles, the structural color remained unchanged.     

Effect of hollow glass beads on density and mechanical properties of silicone rubber composites

In this work, low density hollow glass beads (HGB)/silicon rubber (SR) composites were prepared by solution method and flocculation process. The prepared samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, tensile test, and friction test. The results show that the densities of SR composites decrease from 1.140 to 0.792 g/cm³ with the addition of HGB. By comparing theoretical density with true density, it can be estimated that the ratio of shattered HGB increase from 8.79% to 24.76%. Especially, the mechanical properties of SR composites were improved by surface modification of HGB. By adding surface-modified HGB at 5 and 10 wt%, the tensile strengths of SR composites were enhanced by 17.8% and 28.2%, respectively. In addition, tear strength, shore A hardness, compression set, and friction property were significantly ameliorated. Furthermore, the mechanism of surface-modified HGB in mechanical properties was analyzed.     

A Cross-sectional Study on the Relationship Between Homocysteine and Lipid Profiles Among Chinese Population from Hunan

Previous studies have explored the relationship between homocystein (Hcy) and lipid profiles. However, the results from these studies have been inconsistent. The current study investigated the correlation between Hcy and lipid profiles in Chinese community-based population. The participants were composed of 4012 Chinese people aged 30–92 years old, who were recruited from rural and urban communities in the Hunan Province. Non-parametric test and logistic regression were used to examine the distribution of Hcy and lipid profiles (triglyceride [TG], total cholesterol [TC], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]) and the relationship between them. The median age of subjects was 54.50 years old, and 40.98% were male. Median Hcy was 13.20 μmol/L, and 35.39% had hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). Median TG was 1.51 mmol/L, TC was 4.77 mmol/L, LDL-C was 2.62 mmol/L, and HDL-C was 1.27 mmol/L. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, HHcy was associated with high levels of TG (OR_male = 2.240, p < 0.001; OR_female = 2.539, p < 0.001), TC (OR_male = 2.237, p < 0.001; OR_female = 2.202, p < 0.001), and LDL-C (OR_male = 1.413, p = 0.010; OR_female = 1.617, p < 0.001) in the different sexes population and low level of HDL-C in females (OR = 1.326, p = 0.023) after adjusting for confounders. HHcy was independently associated with an increasing risk of low HDL-C among females. The regression analysis showed that HHcy was also associated with hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and high level of LDL-C in males and females from Chinese community-based population, which provides a basis for the treatment and prevention of abnormal lipid metabolism.
