Scale Factor Determination of Micro-Machined Angular Rate Sensors Without a Turntable

Introduction Micro-machined angular rate sensors or gyroscopes are used to measure the angular velocity of a moving ob- ject without an external reference. Low cost, high pre- cision gyroscopes find a large market in consumer products, automobiles, medica…     

Superresolution measurement on the minute fluctuation of cell membrane

A wide variety of the physical properties of cell membrane reflect life-cycle processes, including me- tabolism, respiration, photosynthesis, signal transduc- tion, transmembrane transport, and so on. So it is sig- nificant to investigate the elastic prop…     

The glass transition temperature and microstructure of polyurethane/epoxy resin interpenetrating polymer networks nanocomposites

GLASS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE (TG) HAS BEEN EXTEN- SIVELY STUDIED FOR MANY POLYMERS SINCE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL FEATURES RELATIVE DIRECTLY TO POLYMER PROPERTIES. IN GENERAL, INORGANIC NANOFILLERS DO NOT DI- RECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE TG OF THE MA…

Synthesis and properties of a Pr（Ⅲ） complex with 2-acetylbenzimidazoledehyde-glycine Schiff-base ligand

Abstract The 2-acetyl-benzimidazoledehyde-glycine Schiff-base ligand and the corresponding Pr（Ⅲ） complex Pr2L3（NO3）3· 2CH3OH （L=C11H10N3O2） were synthesized in methanol and characterized by a series of methods, including chemical analysis, elemental analysis, TOF-MS, ^1H NMR, UV-, IR-, Raman spectra, thermal analysis, and the three-dimension fluorescence excitation and emission spectra. The Pr（Ⅲ） complex exhibits extraordinary water-solubility and the Pr（Ⅲ） hydroxide appears at pH≥13. The complex also possesses specific fluorescent properties. Thus, at the excitation wavelengths 200.0-280.0 and 260-350 nm the fluorescence bands were observed at 290.0 and 400.0 nm, respectively.     

Sr-Nd isotope geochemistry of eolian dust of the arid-semiarid areas in China： Implications for loess provenance and monsoon evolution

Strontium (Sr) is a divalent alkaline earth element. Its ionic radius (0.113 nm) is slightly larger than that of calcium (0.099 nm), and Sr thus substitutes isomor- phously for Ca in many minerals. Neodymium (Nd) is a rare earth element. Its chemical prop…     

Two typical phenomena from the numerical simulation of fire and smoke transport in a gymnasium fire

Building a large centralized atrium in a building has become favourable both to designers and owners. The space of an atrium in a hall, theatre or gymnasium, can occupy an area as large as thousands of square meters and a height as high as 10―30 meters[1…     

Determination on ^87Sr/^86Sr ratio and stratigraphic dating of single-grain foraminifera

Information on palaeoocean and palaeoclimate can be recorded in foraminifera, and formation ages of the fo- raminifera are nevertheless essential for such study of pa- laeoenvironment. The growth rate of seamount ferroman- ganese crusts is normally very l…

Thermal conductivity measurement of InGaAs/InGaAsP superlattice thin films

The thermal conductivities of InGaAs/ InGaAsP superlattices with different period lengths were measured from 100 to 320 K using 3ω method. In this temperature range, the thermal conductivities were found to decrease with an increase in temperature. For the period length-dependant thermal conductivity, the minimum value does exist at a certain period length, which demonstrates that at a short period length, superlattice thermal conductivity increases with a decrease in the period length. When the period is longer than a certain period length, the interface thermal resistance dominates in phonon transport. The experimental and theoretical results confirmed the previous predictions from the lattice dynamics analysis, i.e. with the increase in period length, the dominant mechanisms of phonon transport in superlattices will shift from wave mode to particle mode. This is crucial for the cutoff of the phonons and lays a sound foundation for the design of superlattice structures.
