The passively Q-switched operation of all-fibre thulium fibre lasers using UV-curing resin doped with multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a saturable absorber is demonstrated. A single-mode thulium-doped silica fibre is pumped by a laser diode emitting at 1.63 mu m through a wavelength-division multiplexing coupler. Unidirectional laser output from the fibre ring resonator is attained by using the retroreflector at the counter-directional output port. The fibre laser exhibits 1.9 mu m wavelength pulsed oscillation at a repetition rate of 7.2 kHz. When the pump power is increased to 161 mW, the output pulse power is measured by 150 mW with a pulse width of 3.2 mu s.

A potassium titanium phosphate, KTi2(PO4)(3), and two types of hydrated titanium phosphates, alpha-Ti(HPO4)(2)H2O and gamma-Ti(PO4)(H2PO4)2H(2)O, were prepared by hydrothermal reaction using a layered lepidocrocite-type titanate as a starting compound. When layered lepidocrocite-type K-0.7(Li,Ti)(2)O-4 (Lss;Ohtsuka chemical co., Ltd.) was used at a reaction temperature of 180 degrees c, KTi2(PO4)(3) was obtained. The crystal structure of KTi2(PO4)(3) was a NASIcON-like rhombohedral one with a low thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal expansion coefficient of KTi2(PO4)(3) was determined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data (SRXD), and the thermal expansion coefficients for the a-axis, c-axis and unit cell volume were -2.82 x 10(-6), 7.16 x 10(-6) and 1.49 x 10(-6) K-1, respectively. Two types of layered titanium phosphates, alpha-Ti(HPO4)(2)H2O and gamma-Ti(PO4)(H2PO4)2H(2)O, were prepared by hydrothermal reaction using protonated titanate (Lss-H) derived from lepidocrocite-type potassium titanate (Lss) by the ion-exchange reaction.

Due to the favorable tribological, mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties, carbon fiber reinforced ceramiccomposites, especially carbon fiber reinforced carbon and silicon carbide dual matrix composites (c/c-Sic), has been considered as high-performance frictional materials. In this paper, current applications and recent progress on tribological behavior of c/c-Siccomposites are reviewed. The factors affecting the friction and wear properties, including the content of silicon carbide and carbon matrix, carbon fiber preform architecture, as well as the matrix modification by alloy additives and c/c-Siccomposites under various test conditions are reviewed. Furthermore, based on the current status of researches, prospect of several technically available solutions for low-cost manufacturing c/c-Siccomposites is also proposed.

ceramic matrix composites are typically prepared by a costly, time-consuming process under severe conditions. Herein, a cost-effective c/Siccomposite was fabricated from a silicon gel-derived source by Joule heating. The beta-Sic phase was generated via carbothermal reduction, and the carbon fabric showed a well-developed graphitic structure, promoting its thermal and anti-oxidation stabilities. Owing to the excellent dielectric loss in carbon fabric, Sic and SiO2 as well as the micropore structure of the ceramic matrix, the absolute electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) effectiveness (SSE/t) reached 948.18 dB center dot cm2 center dot g-1 in the X-band, exhibiting an excellent EMI SE. After oxidation at 1000 degrees c for 10 h in the air, the SSE/t of the composite was only reduced to 846.02 dB center dot cm2 center dot g-1. The c/Siccomposite promises the efficient fabrication of high-temperature resistant materials for electromagnetic shielding applications.

Inspired by the feeding mechanisms of a nematode, a novel two-indenter (2I) micro-pump is analyzed theoretically for transport and mixing of a non-Newtonian fluid for the purpose of lab-on-a-chip applications. considering that the viscous forces dominate the flows in microscopic regime, the concept lubrication theory was adopted to device the two-dimensional flow model of the problem. By approximating the movements of the indenter as a sinusoidal function, the details of the flow were investigated for variations in-frequency of contraction of the first value keeping the second valve at higher occlusion, and occlusion. The study indicates that occlusive nature of the second valve leads to the large pressure barrier which prevents the fluid to enter into the neighboring compartment. Transport occurs as the lumen opens to develop a suction pressure. Pressure barrier is found to be highest for dilatants followed by Newtonian and pseudo-plastics. Shear stress dependency on frequency the contraction of the first value is highest for lower values of flow behavior index. In conclusion, the study provides details connecting the flows resulting from the indentation of the front-end indenter to the frequency of indentation, geometry and rheology of the fluid, thus facilitating optimal design of the micro-pumps.

Recent studies have suggested that innate immune responses exhibit characteristics associated with memory linked to modulations in both vertebrates and invertebrates. However, the diverse evolutionary paths taken, particularly within the invertebrate taxa, should lead to similarly diverse innate immunity memory processes. Our understanding of innate immune memory in invertebrates primarily comes from studies of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the generality of which is unclear. caenorhabditis elegans typically inhabits soil harboring a variety of fatal microbial pathogens;for this invertebrate, the innate immune system and aversive behavior are the major defensive strategies against microbial infection. However, their characteristics of immunological memory remains infantile. Here we discovered an immunological memory that promoted avoidance and suppressed innate immunity during reinfection with bacteria, which we revealed to be specific to the previously exposed pathogens. During this trade-off switch of avoidance and innate immunity, the chemosensory neurons AWB and ADF modulated production of serotonin and dopamine, which in turn decreased expression of the innate immunity-associated genes and led to enhanced avoidance via the downstream insulin-like pathway. Therefore, our current study profiles the immune memories during c. elegans reinfected by pathogenic bacteria and further reveals that the chemosensory neurons, the neurotransmitter(s), and their associated molecular signaling pathways are responsible for a trade-off switch between the two immunological memories.

The graphene nanoribbon (GNR) field effect transistor is one of the most competitive candidates for beyond-cMOS nanoelectronics because of the special electriccharacteristics of graphene. During graphene preparation, vacancy defects are inevitably introduced and affect transistor performances. In this Letter, four typical vacancy defects in GNR (i.e. single vacancy, divacancy, Stone-Wales and 555 777 defects) are examined. By quantum-mechanics-based simulation, the effects of these four defects on the energy band of the GNR are analysed. Moreover, their effects on the performances of the GNR field effect transistor, such as transmission coefficient and transfer characteristics, are studied and compared for various defect locations in the channel.

Optimum temperature and pH for activity, as well as molecular weights of chymotrypsin from the gastrointestinal tract of the sciaenids cynoscion othonopterus, cynoscion parvipinnis, and cynoscion xanthulus were evaluated. chymotrypsins were 27.1, 26.6, and 26.5 kDa, respectively, and exhibited higher hydrolytic activity for N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester at 35.0-40.0 degrees c in c. othonopterus and at 40.0 degrees c in c. parvipinnis and c. xanthulus, whereas optimum pH values were 8.0, 7.0-9.0, and 8.0-9.0, respectively, showing a wide range of statistically similar activity for these parameters. Biochemical characteristics were comparable to chymotrypsins from other fish species already used in numerous industrial applications;thus, it is safe to assume they could be used for similar applications.

Anaerobic acetate utilizing cultures were enriched from three different environments of pulp mill wastewater and subsequently subcultured on calcium acetate and calcium acetate plus sodium sulfate media. Microbial acetate conversion was complete in all cases where methanogens tolerant to sulfur compounds were present, even at 4.6 g SO42-/l. Acetate conversion by sulfate reduction was significant only in methanogeniccultures sensitive to sodium sulfate or its metabolic products. Sulfate reduction was always incomplete although acetate was present in excess. Sulfate reducing capacity persisted in continuous cultivation of sludge for at least 2 years in the absence of oxidized sulfur compounds. Tolerance of acetotrophic methane-producing bacteria from pulp mill wastewater sludge towards sulfur compounds (sulfate plus its metabolites) was preserved beyond an experimental exposure of 6 months (6 transfers) to acetate-only medium. Another methanogenic enrichment culture from pulp mill sludge developed sensitivity towards sulfur compounds after being continuously cultured in an environment lacking oxidized sulfur compounds for 2 years.
