The ability of SMA actuators to “memorize” previous shape is the result of physical changes that take place in SMA materials.
When heating, martensite transforms into austenite, material recovers its previous shape.
When cooling, austenite transforms into martensite, under the action of bias force, material gets plastic deformation again.
Furthermore, thermocouple sensors can’t measure charged objects, so thermal greases are used as heat conduction and insulation material, which increase the response time.

To date, the researches about PV for removing sulfur from gasoline are primarily based on patents which mainly come from Grace Davison Company, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company and Marathon Oil Company [9].
In the published articles, the results show either lower flux or selectivity and the membrane material mostly made of PDMS or PEG.
In this work, PEBAX2533 was chosen as a film material to prepare the homogenous film for removing thiophene from binary mixtures by means of pervaporation.

The phenomena can be explained by solubility parameter theory, as an important method to select polymer material for pervaporation processing, that characterize interactive intensity between film material with a separated component [24].

Previous studies showed [3] that the concentration of bio-absorbable free ion in the interval water was the key indicator to assess the heavy-metal toxicity.
Since China’s reform and opening up, the intensive use of fertilizers, electroplating materials and other chemicals which contain many kinds of heavy metals increased the potential ecological risk of the lake in adjacent to the agricultural, industrial and residential region.

Bi-Polar Synaptic Behavior of Pt/SiOx:Ag/TiOx/p++-Si Memristor Yuhan Yuan1,a, Nasir Ilyas1,b, Zhihui Qi2,c, Dongyang Li1,d, Xiangdong Jiang1,e, Wei Li1,f* 1School of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 610054, China 2School of Management and Economics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China ayhyuan94@qq.com, bilyas_nasir84@yahoo.com, cQi_UESTC@outlook.com, dopen_please@163.com, exdjiang@uestc.edu.cn, fwli@uestc.edu.cn (*corresponding author) Keywords: SiOx:Ag/TiOx memristive layer; resistive switching; synaptic behavior Abstract.
In the past few years, a wide range of memristive devices using different materials including metal oxides (i.e., SiOx, ZnO2, WOx, TiO2 [6-8]) and chalcogenides (i.e., Cu2S, Ag2S [9,10]) have been investigated.
Besides the selection of memristive materials, one possible way to improve the switching performance and realization of analog switching is to insert different metal oxide layers in memristive devices, and each layer is assigned to satisfy a specific goal [13-15].
Material and Methods As shown in Fig. 1(b), our memristor was designed as Pt/SiOx:Ag/TiOx/p++-Si structure.
Besides potentiation and depression characteristics, short-term plasticity (STP), and long-term plasticity (LTP) are also key synaptic features in the memristive synapse.
