Magnesium is the lightest metal structure material, whose density is about 1.74g/cm3.
Because of the melting point, specific heat and phase change latent heat of magnesium alloy is low, so it has well casting properties such as the rapid curing rate, low dynamic viscosity, good casting filling, short casting production cycle, easy to forming of thin-wall structure parts, and so on.
In 2001, Toyota introduced four passengers mini concept car ES3 which the rear network structure of the front seats was made from magnesium alloy.
In 2006 Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry is the first in our country to research heat-resistant, creep-resistant magnesium alloy automotive cylinder head which used in the 460-horsepower engine of heavy truck, production capacity is 40,000 units per year, this changed the history of China's heavy truck auto parts without magnesium.
In 2007, China's Ministry of Science and Technology and U.S., Canada launched the project of magnesium vehicle body front structure research and development, the entire project had been completed in 2012 to solve the auto parts products, smelting, casting problem.

With the developments in nanofabrication technology and downsizing in the existing structures of devices, the ability to organize a structure in multiple-dimensions becomes ever more critical.
Finally a 6 nm thick layer of permalloy was sputtered on freshly prepared patterned and unpatterned structures of SAMs in a 3.5 mT argon atmosphere in the chamber of AJA sputtering system with base pressure of 3.5 x 10-7 Torr.
The schematic representation of sputtering of Py on a patterned structure of polar and nonpolar molecules is shown in Fig. 1.

The microstrip antenna has Characteristics such as light weight, small size, low cost, plane structure, can and integrated circuit compatible etc.
For microstrip antenna speaking, currently the specific methods of miniaturization mainly are: using high dielectric constant substrate, using short circuit loading technique, meandering and adopting new technology of materials and the structure of the special form etc[7].
Usually the rectangular microstrip antennas of the half wave structure, the current in the antenna from one open circuit to another open circuit can form standing wave.
Taking the patch antennas above for the example, the current distribution is shown as Fig. 5: Fig. 5 Traditional patch antennas are current distribution If the patch is in short circuited to the floor in the zero potential line, the standing wave structure can be formed from the open circuit to the short circuit.

In ceramic membrane preparation, a lot of techniques have been used to tailor porous structure such as sol-gel synthesis, freeze-casting or cementation [7] which can be influenced by sintering temperature.
This work, however, aimed to prepare membrane from fly ash via alkaline activation without sintering with pore structure influenced by changing the activating solution dose.
Pore structure was evaluated by software using Washburn equation.

So studying the structure and function of protein is an important project in biochemistry, chemistry and medical.
Many enzymes need zinc ion as cofactor for their catalytic activity [7], zinc stabilizes the structure of proteins and nucleic acids, preserves the integrity of subcellular organelles [8], and being vital in many cellular processes including gene expression, enzyme regulation and neurotransmission [9].

The composition and the structure of the as-prepared products were confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, using a Philip X’ Pert PRO SUPER rA rotation anode with Ni-filtered Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.54187 Å).
The diffraction rings/spots can be again indexed as 111, 200, 220, and 311 reflections, consistent with the cubic structure of polycrystalline W2N, which further supports the XRD result.
The FE-SEM image (Fig. 3b) gives more detailed information of the surface of as-obtained b-W2N, which reveals the high yield of the lamellar structure.
From it the reflection rings/spots of planes 100, 101, 110 and 111 are clearly seen, consistent with the hexagonal structure of polycrystalline δ-WN and the result of XRD study.

The recombination activity of grain boundaries has been shown to depend on their impurity gettering ability, the property which depends on the grain boundary structure [2].
Selected defect structures were systematically studied along the block height with light microscopy (LM).
Yoo et al [12], have reported similar observation in High Angle grain boundaries, and show that kinks developed by re-shaping of grain boundary structure generate dislocations when the material is subjected to thermal stresses at sufficiently elevated temperatures.
Dislocation propagation to the grain volume from one or more sources within the boundary may be disrupted by dislocations from other sources, by other defects such as stacking faults or by dislocation walls of poligonized structures near the boundary, depending on the orientation of the boundary plane, its dislocation sources and the planes in which lattice dislocations propagate.
