AgPb18SbTe20xSex (x ¼ 1, 2, 4) bulk materials were prepared by combining hydrothermal synthesis and melting. Thermoelectric properties were measured from room temperature up to 773K. The materials showed n-type conduction and exhibited degenerate semiconductor behavior. The power factors of the materials varied greatly with increase of Se content (x). Partial substitution of Se for Te in AgPb18SbTe20resulted in remarkable reduction of thermal conductivity in the whole temperature range and increase of power factor at lower temperatures; therefore, the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, was enhanced below 600K. A maximum ZT value of w0.82 is obtained at 523K for the AgPb18SbTe18Se2 sample.

A WO_3/TiO_2 composite film was in-situ prepared in tungstate electrolyte and characterized by Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV―Vis spectrophotometer and Photoluminescence. The oxide film consists of mixture phases of anatase and rutile, showing porous structures and metallurgical bond with substrate. With the incorporation of WO_3 into TiO_2, the optical absorption edge of TiO_2 filmwas shifted to longer wavelength slightly and the separation between electrons and holes was promoted effectively. WO_3/TiO_2 composite film with increased photo quantum efficiency will be promising in the treatment of environmental pollutants.

Analytical Method for the Magnetic Field Line Distribution of a Fan-shaped Permanent Magnet and the Calculation of Leakage Permeance

H. M. Liang,K. Zhang,J. X. You,F. B. Luo,Z. W. Cai 한국자기학회 2017 Journal of Magnetics Vol.22 No.3

Leakage permeance of a permanent magnet (PM) is an important factor for improving the accuracy of electromagnetic device calculations based on a magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC). For PM leakage permeance calculations, the traditional simulation method of finite element analysis (FEA) and the lumped parameter analytical method (LPAM) have been considered; it was found that FEA has the disadvantage of a long calculation time and LPAM has low accuracy. The magnetic field lines distribution analytical method (MFLD) is proposed in this paper in order to raise computational efficiency and keep accuracy within a certain range. The electromagnetic features of open circuit fan-shaped PMs are presented by MFLD and finite element analysis (FEA) is adopted to match the MFLD results. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method in a magnetic system, the working points of PMs in an electromagnetic actuator are calculated, and the numerical results compared with the experimental results.

Cu0.7Mn0.3O films were deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition and annealed in different atmospheres. The XRD diffraction results indicate that samples annealed in air and N2 both show pure CuO phases, while the film annealed in O2 has a secondary phase CuMn2O4. The content of Mn was confirmed by Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The M-T and M-H curves show that the average magnetic moment of the films prepared in O2 is larger than those prepared in air and in N2 atmosphere. Ferromagnetic segments Mn-O-Cu-O-Mn can be used to understand the ferromagnetism of CuO under heavily Mn-doping. And the magnetic moment per Mn ions calculated on the base of this chain model is consistent with the experimental result.

Cai, Lin X.,Cai, Lin,Shen, Xuemin,Mark, Jon W. The Korea Institute of Information and Commucation 2009 Journal of communications and networks Vol.11 No.3

Although asymptotic bounds of wireless network capacity have been heavily pursued, the answers to the following questions are still critical for network planning, protocol and architecture design: Given a three-dimensional (3D) network space with the number of active users randomly located in the space and using the wireless communication technology, what are the expected per-flow throughput, network capacity, and network transport capacity? In addition, how can the protocol parameters be tuned to enhance network performance? In this paper, we focus on the ultra wideband (UWB) based wireless personal area networks (WPANs) and provide answers to these questions, considering the salient features of UWB communications, i.e., low transmission/interference power level, accurate ranging capability, etc. Specifically, we demonstrate how to explore the spatial multiplexing gain of UWB networks by allowing appropriate concurrent transmissions. Given 3D space and the number of active users, we derive the expected number of concurrent transmissions, network capacity and transport capacity of the UWB network. The results reveal the main factors affecting network (transport) capacity, and how to determine the best protocol parameters, e.g., exclusive region size, in order to maximize the capacity. Extensive simulation results are given to validate the analytical results.

By using a self-designed non-thermal plasma (NTP) injection system, an experimental study of theregeneration of DPF was conducted at different temperatures, where oxygen as the gas source. The results revealed that PMcan be decomposed to generate CO and CO2 by these active substances O3, O which was generated through the dischargereaction of NTP reactor. With the increasing of test temperature, the mass of C1 (C in CO) shows a overall downward trendwhile the mass of C2 (C in CO2) and C12 (C1 and C2) increase firstly and then decrease. When the test temperature is 80oC, thebackpressure of DPF decreases fastest and the regenerative effect is remarkable. DPF can be regenerated by NTP technologywithout any catalyst at a lower temperature. Compared with the traditional regeneration method, the NTP technology has itssuperiority.

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of night light regimen on growth performance, antioxidant status and health of Lingnan Yellow broiler chickens from 1 to 21 days of age. Methods: A completely randomized factorial design involved 2 photoperiods (constant lighting [CL], 24 L:0 D and intermittent lighting [INL], 17 L:3 D:1 L:3 D)×2 light intensities (10 lx and 30 lx). A total of one thousand six hundred and eighty 1-d-old Lingnan Yellow broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 treatments with 6 replicates (70 birds per replicate). The experiment lasted for 21 d. Results: Photoperiods and light intensities had no effect on average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality of the broiler chickens (p>0.05). The INL had a significant effect on average daily feed intake (p<0.05) of broiler chickens compared with CL. Photoperiod and light intensity had an interactive effect on melatonin (MT) concentration (p<0.05). At CL, reducing light intensity increased MT concentration; INL birds had higher MT but MT concentration was not affected by light intensity. There was an interactive effect on glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) in serum and total antioxidant capability (T-AOC) in liver between photoperiod and light intensity. With the decrease of light intensity, the activities of GPx and CAT in serum and T-AOC in liver increased in CL group (p<0.05). Broiler chickens reared under INL had better antioxidant status and 10 lx treatments had higher activities of CAT in serum than 30 lx (p<0.05). Different photoperiods and light intensities had no effect on malondialdehyde. There was an interaction between photoperiod and light intensity on serum creatine kinase (CK) concentration (p<0.05). At CL, the elevated light intensity resulted in an increase in CK content; INL birds had lower CK concentration especially in low light intensity group. Besides, INL and low light intensity significantly reduced the concentration of serum corticosterone and heat shock protein 70 (p<0.05). Serum immunoglobulin M contents were increased in broiler chickens reared under the INL compared with CL group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results above suggest that the night light regimen of INL and 10 lx could be beneficial to the broiler chickens from 1 to 21 days of age due to the better health status and electricity savings.
