The blepharoplast appears in the young spermatid. The differentiating blepharoplast is approximately a spherical body, which is composed of densely stained granular material in the center and some cylinders outside of it. The differentiated blepharoplast is also a sphere, but without the densely stained material in the center, consisting of scattered or radially arranged cylinders. The MLS seen in the spermatid lies between the basal bodies and the giant mitochondrion. In the early developmental stage, the MLS only consists of lamellar layers, each of which runs parallel to one another and forms a strip. In the mid stage, the MLS is composed of the microtubular ribbon (MTr), the lamellar layers and a layer of plaque. In the late stage, the MLS forms accessory band, osmiophilic crest and a layer of osmiophilic material. The MTr grows out from the MLS and extends along the surface of the nucleus to unite with the nuclear envelope in a complex. The basal body coming from the cylinder produces the axoneme of the flagella in the distal end and the wedge-shaped structure in the proximal end, respectively. In the present study, the ultrastructural features of blepharoplast and the MLS of the protoleptosporangiopsida fern, O. cinnamomea var. asiatica, have been described and compared with those of other kinds of pteridophytes in detail. The lamellar layers appearing before the formation of the MTr was found and reported for the first time.展开更多

This cloak can be constructed with a multilayered structure and each layer is an isotropic and homogeneous medium. The design scheme consists of two steps： firstly, we apply a conformal coordinate transformation to obtain a quasi-perfect cloak with heterogeneous isotropic material; then, according to the profile of the material distribution, we degenerate this cloak into a multilayered-homogeneous isotropic cloak, which has two open windows with negligible disturbance on its invisibility performance. This may greatly facilitate the fabrication and enhance the applicability of such a carpet-type cloak.展开更多

The results show that epsilon copper precipitation occurs within 90 s, Complex multilayer structure confirmed as twins and stacking faults on {111}ε-Cu planes was observed in the precipitates. The precipitates grow by the lengthwise enlargement of a set of parallel layers, having [111]ε-Cu and [112]ε-Cu preferred growth orientations. The volume fraction of precipitates f formed within 120 min can be predicted by a modified Avrami equation （In1/1-f= kt ＋ b）. Simultaneously, substituent atom clusters with a size of 5-10 nm was found to occur in the solution and cause matrix strain. The precipitate morphology and distribution on the surface of ferrite antibacterial stainless steel are associated with surface crystallographic orientation of the matrix. The precipitates are predominantly located within the ferrite grains of 〈110〉 orientation. The precipitates located on {111}α-Fe surface planes have sphere or ellipse shape.展开更多

文摘SiC nanowires reinforced C/(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered matrix composites(SM-CS for short)were prepared by combined with sol-gel and chemical vapor infiltration(CVI)method.Firstly,(PyC-Si OC);multilayered structure was formed by cycles of impregnation and deposition.Then SiOC was transformed into SiC by heat-treatment,and(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered structure would be obtained.At the same time,the PyC layer which was designed as the outmost layer could decrease gas supersaturation to form in-situ tubular SiC nanowires on the surface of multilayered structure.The results of three-point bending test showed that the maximum force of SM-CS composites was increased by the number of cycles of the preparation process,which were up to enhanced by 74.38%compared with C/C composite materials.The fracture surface showed that the improvement was due to the multiscale reinforcing system of(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered structure and SiC nanowires.Multilayered structure can protect carbon fibers and release stress concentration by induction of cracks.And the mechanical interlocking effect of SiC nanowires could reinforce bonding force of the remaining matrix.
文摘We present a method for designing an open acoustic cloak that can conceal a perturbation on Hat ground aria simultaneously meet the requirement of communication and matter interchange between the inside and the outside of the cloak. This cloak can be constructed with a multilayered structure and each layer is an isotropic and homogeneous medium. The design scheme consists of two steps： firstly, we apply a conformal coordinate transformation to obtain a quasi-perfect cloak with heterogeneous isotropic material; then, according to the profile of the material distribution, we degenerate this cloak into a multilayered-homogeneous isotropic cloak, which has two open windows with negligible disturbance on its invisibility performance. This may greatly facilitate the fabrication and enhance the applicability of such a carpet-type cloak.

文摘We propose the practical realization of a shrinking device by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials.By mimicking the shrinking device with concentric alternating thin layers of isotropic dielectrics,the permittivity and the permeability in each isotropic layer can be properly determined from the effective medium theory in order to achieve the shrinking effect.The device realized by multilayer coating with dielectrics is validated by TE wave simulation,and good shrinking performance is demonstrated with only a few layers of homogeneous isotropic materials.

文摘Electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with superior shielding efficiency and low-reflection properties hold promising potential for utilization across electronic components,precision instruments,and fifth-generation communication equipment.In this study,multistage microcellular waterborne polyurethane(WPU)composites were constructed via gradient induction,layer-by-layer casting,and supercritical carbon dioxide foaming.The gradient-structured WPU/ironcobalt loaded reduced graphene oxide(FeCo@rGO)foam serves as an impedance-matched absorption layer,while the highly conductive WPU/silver loaded glass microspheres(Ag@GM)layer is employed as a reflection layer.Thanks to the incorporation of an asymmetric structure,as well as the introduction of gradient and porous configurations,the composite foam demonstrates excellent conductivity,outstanding EMI SE(74.9 dB),and minimal reflection characteristics(35.28%)in 8.2-12.4 GHz,implying that more than 99.99999%of electromagnetic(EM)waves were blocked and only 35.28%were reflected to the external environment.Interestingly,the reflectivity of the composite foam is reduced to 0.41%at 10.88 GHz due to the resonance for incident and reflected EM waves.Beyond that,the composite foam is characterized by low density(0.47 g/cm^(3))and great stability of EMI shielding properties.This work offers a viable approach for craft-ing lightweight,highly shielding,and minimally reflective EMI shielding composites.

文摘Electromagnetic pollution is becoming significantly serious.Therefore,it is critical to prepare the advanced electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with thinness,flexibility and high mechanical strength.Herein,the copperbased metal-organic framework(MOF-Cu)and polyethyleneiminemodified ammonium polyphosphate(PEI-APP)were successfully synthesized.The flame-retardant thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)composite was successfully prepared by compounding MOF-Cu and PEI-APP.The Cotton@PDA@MXene composite was fabricated via a sequential loading process of polydopamine(PDA)and MXene onto cotton fabric.Then,the multilayer TPU composites were prepared by layer-by-layer hot-pressing.The TPU/9PAPP/1MOF/C-3PM composite exhibited exceptional EMI effectiveness of 20.5 dB in X-band and 23.0 dB in K-band,exceeding commercial standards.The TPU/9P-APP/1MOF/C-3PM composite also demonstrated significantly enhanced flame retardancy.Compared with pure TPU/Cotton sample,the peak heat release rate,total heat release and total smoke release of TPU/9PAPP/1MOF/C-3PM composite decreased by 40.7%,31.1%,and 33.3%,respectively.Furthermore,the thickness of the multilayer TPU composites was only 1 mm,demonstrating excellent flexibility.As the outer encapsulation material,TPU endowed the multilayer TPU composites outstanding durability and effectively addressed the common issues of fabric abrasion and conductive filler detachment.This study provides a novel strategy for preparing flexible electromagnetic interference shielding materials with superior flame retardancy.

文摘The oxidation behavior of a nickel-based superalloy GH738 was studied by isothermal oxidation tests in still air at different temperatures,with exposure time up to 100 h.Oxidation-kinetic curves were plotted using the mass gain method.The surface and cross-sectional morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).A composition analysis and an oxidation-product identification were conducted using energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) and an X-ray diffraction(XRD),respectively.The results showed that GH738 exhibited parabolic oxidation-kinetic curves,with stable parabolic-rate constants at each temperatures.The activation energy of oxide growth was calculated to be329.6 kJ·mol^(-1).Cr_(2) O_(3)(chromia) was the external oxidation product at 800℃.A TiO_(2)-Cr_(2) O_(3) double-layer structure was formed at 900℃.The position of TiO_(2) changed from the oxide-metal interface to the air-oxide interface by the diffusion of Ti atoms in chromia during the oxidation time at this temperature.Spallation was observed in the Cr_(0.12)Ti_(0.78)O_(1.74)-Cr_(2) O_(3) multi-layer oxide of at 1000℃,which increased the oxidation rate.For all the tests,the main internal oxide was always Al_(2) O_(3).The entire GH738 oxidation process was interpreted by the competitive diffusion of elements(Cr,Ti,Ni,etc.) in metal matrix and chromia,while a schematic diagram of oxidation process was proposed.

文摘In this work,the high temperature friction mechanism of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon(ta-C)film was elucidated.The multilayer ta-C film with alternating hard and soft sub-layers exhibited a low friction coefficient of 0.14 at 400℃ before a sudden failure occurred at 4600 cycles.The wear failure was attributed to the gradual consumption of the ta-C film at the contact region.The design of a hard or soft top layer effectively regulated the high temperature friction properties of the multilayer ta-C.The addition of a hard top layer contributed to a low friction coefficient(0.11)and a minor wear rate(4.0×10^(-7)mm^(3)/(N m)),while a soft top layer deteriorated the lubrication effect.It was proposed that the passivation of dangling bonds at the sliding interface dominated the low-friction mechanism of the ta-C film at high temperature,while the friction induced graphitization and the formation of sp^(2)-rich carbonaceous transfer layer triggered C-C inter-film bonding,resulting in serious adhesion force and lubrication failure.Moreover,the multilayer ta-C film with hard top layer obtained excellent friction performance within 500℃,while the high temperature induced oxidation and volatilization of carbon atoms led to the wear failure at 600℃.

文摘An indoor location system based on multilayer artificial neural network（ANN） with area division is proposed.The characteristics of recorded signal strength（RSS）,or signal to noise ratio（SNR） from each available access points（APs）,are utilized to establish the radio map in the off-line phase.And in the on-line phase,the two or three dimensional coordinates of mobile terminals（MTs） are estimated according to the similarity between the new recorded RSS or SNR and fingerprints pre-stored in radio map.Although the feed-forward ANN with three layers is sufficient to describe any nonlinear mapping relationship between inputs and outputs with finite discontinuous points,the efficient inputs for better training performances are difficult to be determined because of complex and dynamic indoor environment.Then,the discussion of distance relativity for different signal characteristics and optimal strategies for multi-mode phenomenon avoidance is presented.And also,the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are verified based on the experimental comparison with normal ANN without area division,K-nearest neighbor（KNN） and probability methods in typical office environment.

文摘Hot compression was performed on a multilayered Au−20Sn eutectic alloy to investigate the deformation behavior and microstructure evolution.During hot compression,microstructural spheroidization was initiated from plastic instability regions,and it was preferentially activated in vertical lamellae with a growth direction parallel to the compressive direction.Continuous dynamic recrystallization associated with lattice dislocations was the mechanism in both AuSn and Au5Sn multilayers.After spheroidization,strain accumulations were weakened in both of the equiaxed phases,and the deformation mechanism was substantially replaced by grain boundary sliding and migration.Based on these findings,hot rolling was conducted on an as-cast Au−20Sn alloy and a foil with a thickness of~50μm was successfully prepared.The present study can promote the development of Au−20Sn foils,and provide insights into the deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of multilayered eutectic alloys.

文摘A general formulation of the method of the reverberation-ray matrix(MRRM)based on the state space formalism and plane wave expansion technique is presented for the analysis of guided waves in multilayered piezoelectric structures.Each layer of the structure is made of an arbitrarily anisotropic piezoelectric material.Since the state equation of each layer is derived from the three-dimensional theory of linear piezoelectricity,all wave modes are included in the formulation.Within the framework of the MRRM,the phase relation is properly established by excluding exponentially growing functions,while the scattering relation is also appropriately set up by avoiding matrix inversion operation.Consequently,the present MRRM is unconditionally numerically stable and free from computational limitations to the total number of layers,the thickness of individual layers,and the frequency range.Numerical examples are given to illustrate the good performance of the proposed formulation for the analysis of the dispersion characteristic of waves in layered piezoelectric structures.
文摘The precipitation of epsilon copper at 1023 K ageing in ferrite antibacterial stainless steel was investigated by a combination of electron microscopy and micro-Vickers hardness measurement. The results show that epsilon copper precipitation occurs within 90 s, Complex multilayer structure confirmed as twins and stacking faults on {111}ε-Cu planes was observed in the precipitates. The precipitates grow by the lengthwise enlargement of a set of parallel layers, having [111]ε-Cu and [112]ε-Cu preferred growth orientations. The volume fraction of precipitates f formed within 120 min can be predicted by a modified Avrami equation （In1/1-f= kt ＋ b）. Simultaneously, substituent atom clusters with a size of 5-10 nm was found to occur in the solution and cause matrix strain. The precipitate morphology and distribution on the surface of ferrite antibacterial stainless steel are associated with surface crystallographic orientation of the matrix. The precipitates are predominantly located within the ferrite grains of 〈110〉 orientation. The precipitates located on {111}α-Fe surface planes have sphere or ellipse shape.
