Abstract: Left-handed Materials (LHM) is a kind of structural materials of artificial cycle which permittivity ε and permeability μ are both negative. This article mainly studied the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of LHM by using the method of rigorous modal matching, and discussed the variation of corresponding elliptical eccentricity, its loss and negatively permittivity on the effect of radar cross section by numerical calculation .

Abstract: Total 40 sluices which are all front-line facing the seas have been surveyed, for the hydraulic concrete durability research in the coastal area. The corrosion and damage of concrete, including cracking, carbonization, chloride-induced corrosion and abrasion have all be counted and analysed. It has been found that the inadequacy of concrete cover ply is quite common and leading to severe reduction for structural durability. The carbonation depth of concrete in coastal area, especially impacted by wind and rain directly, is apparently larger than others. The correlativity between carbonation depth and age of concrete has also been analysed, involved the influence of concrete compressive strength. The chemical attack and biological erosion, according to the survey result, led to relatively light damage to the sluice concrete. In the end of this paper, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation(FCE) method has been adopted, for the quality evaluation of sluices concrete structure.

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to Korean pine specimen by ultrasonic tester. The effect of hole size and holes amount in axial direction of wood as well as the distribution of end holes on ultrasonic wave velocity were respectively studied. A comparison test was carried out between the specimens of one hole defect and no defect with different lengths. Then regression analysis of the relation between hole size and ultrasonic wave velocity was done using SPSS software. The experimental results show that the length of wood components has significant effect on ultrasonic wave velocity. The ultrasonic wave velocity has negative correlation with hole size and holes amount. End hole has no significant effect on ultrasonic wave velocity. This research will provide some theoretical basis for the detection of internal defects in wood materials, material evaluation and the evaluation of physical and mechanical properties testing.

Abstract: Bentonite was used as an adsorbent for removing copper ions from aqueous solutions，and the kinetic experiments and isothermal were performed. The results showed that the bentonite on Cu²⁺ adsorption followed the pseudo-secondary kinetic model, the high temperature was benefit for adsorption; The isothermal experimental data were fitted using Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Abstract: Synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA) powders from mollusc shell with the solid solution reaction method. The process is a new method which makes the amount of HA powder in large quantities. The advantage of the solid state method which involves molar ratio of calcium and phosphorus through a thermal treatment and reaction time, caused by the diffusion of ions in the solid particles. HA is the only apatite present in the reaction products, apart from minute fractions of certain other calcium compounds. The final product is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR)

Abstract: The multifunctional nanocompoties (MFNCs) as drug release carriers are prepared by cross-linking reaction of cationic chitosan (CS) and anionic tripolyphosphate (TPP) to encapsulate Fe3O4 nanoparticles(NPs) loaded cancer therapeutic agents such as berberine (BB), KCY-24B, KCY-Tai…etc were studied. These MFNCs were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), ultra violet–visible-near infrared spectrophotometer (UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer), size analysis, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Then we obtained here the preparation method, characterization, and capability of these efficative nanoparticles. Cell celluar uptake and distribution of MFNCs were also inspected in human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines (Colo 205).

Abstract: Two kinds of biomembrane mimetic polymers P(MPC-co-SMA) and P(MPC-SMA-TSMA) were synthesized with acrylate monomers 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), stearyl methacrylate (SMA) and 3-(methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (TSMA) by free radical copolymerization in solution with AIBN as initiator. The phosphorylcholine containing copolymers were dip-coated on cover glasses. The hydrophilicity, stability and surface structure of the coatings were measured by dynamic contact angles (DCA) in water. It was found that the coating surfaces were amphiphilic. The P(MPC-SMA-TSMA) coating was more stable than the P(MPC-co-SMA) one in aqueous environment due to crosslinking and grafting. The biocompatibility of the coatings was evaluated by platelet adhesion and protein adsorption. The copolymer P(MPC-SMA-TSMA) can be simply coated on a surface to fabricate a stable biomimetic coating with excellent hemocompatibility.

Abstract: Permeability coefficient is an important indicator of surface wettability and permeability, which influenced by the surface roughness. In this paper, bamboo and fir veneer as raw material, the contact angle of phenolic resin adhesives in different surface roughness of outer cuticle of bamboo, inner skin of bamboo, tight side of Chinese fir veneer and loose side of Chinese fir veneer were measured, and then use the software Spass non-linear fitting for permeability coefficient, and analysis of variance of the results by SAS software. The results show that permeability coefficient of four different kinds of surface variance analysis models are significantly, permeability coefficient of fir veneer is larger than bamboo surface; permeability coefficient of tight side of fir veneer is larger than loose side; permeability coefficient of inner skin of bamboo is larger than outer cuticle of bamboo. Permeability coefficients decrease first and then increased when mesh sandpaper increasing.

Abstract: PCL/PVP blend membrane was prepared by casting solution method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffraction scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to characterize membrane structure and morphology. Moreover, the hydrophilicity, mechanical property and biodegradability of membranes were investigated. Due to introducing PVP, the crystallinity and mechanical property of PCL altered to some extent. The hydrophilicity of the blend membrane improved remarkably with increasing PVP content, which was expressed by the contact angle declining and the rate of water absorption increasing. Lipase accelerated the degradation rate of PCL/PVP membrane.

Abstract: Congestion is an essential problem in wireless sensor networks. In view of resolving the problem of congestion, a novel congestion control algorithm is proposed based on rate optimization. It performs the estimation of congestion level in the cluster and between the clusters based on the distribution of queue length of the node, and uses the maximum utility function to optimize the sending rate of source nodes. In addition, the algorithm adopts the cluster structure to prolong the system lifetime. The simulation results show that ROCC can prevent effectively and alleviate the congestion, and dynamic adjust the sending rate of source nodes while controlling congestion.
