Monitoring the Hierarchical Evolution from a Double-Stranded Helix to a Well-Defined Microscopic Morphology Based on a Turbine-like Aromatic Molecule

AlN and TiN thin films are widely used in electronic devices and acoustic material and other fields because of its unique merit, the preparation of nitride thin films by using the arc ion plating has not been a systematic and deep study. The article presents our research procedure which the AlN and TiN thin films are deposited on stainless steel substrate by arc ion plating (AIP). The characteristics of thin films, for example microstructure, morphology, composition analysis and hardness, are examined and analyzed. The results showed that: Droplet-like particles appear in the microstructure of nitride thin films, and the grain size of droplet-like particles in AlN thin films is greater than in TiN thin films. The micro-hardness of nitride films preparation in experiment has improved significantly, and establish firmly basic for extending the application field of nitride film.

Positive Effect

The production of biogas was promoted via direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) by employing electro-conductive carbon-nanotube hollow-fiber media (CHM) in anaerobic digestion. Experimental results showed a positive effect of CHM presence on CH4 productivity with 34% higher CH4 production rate than that of in the presence of non-electroconductive polymeric hollow fiber media. An increased CH4 production rate was due to the shift in the microbiome with more abundant Pelobacter (10.0%), Geobacter (6.9%), and Methanosaeta (15.7%), which play key roles in promoting CH4 production via syntrophic metabolism associated with DIET. Microscopic morphology analysis, using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, exhibited that several living cells were attached with electro-conductive pili on the CHM surface, thereby facilitated electron transport between microbial cells.

Cellular Components

Work has been presented which suggests that thymus epithelial reticular cells are not effective in restoring the microscopic morphology of lymphoid tissues and their immunologic capacities. They function in recruiting precursors of thymus lymphocytes from the host animals to produce an organ which, after it becomes architecturally normal, can reconstitute the defective host. Intact thymus grafts in situ from 10–14 days, but not for shorter periods of time, have been shown to result in a return toward normal of these two parameters. Evidence is offered to show that few dividing cellular components in the lymphoid tissue originate from the thymus remnant grafts, and that a minor cellular component is contributed by the intact grafts. These data support the concept that the structural and functional development of the lymphatic tissue in thymectomized animals is dependent on thymus lymphoid cells and/or their products, and that the epithelial-reticular cells do not have a direct action in peripheral lymphoid reconstitution.

Sensitization Time

In this paper, 347H stainless steel of three situation of solution, primary and secondary stabilizing with 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h accelerated sensitization heat treatment. The change of sensitization degree with time was studied by metallographic test, double-loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (DL-EPR) test, intergranular corrosion test and microscopic morphology observation. The result shows that the sensitization degree of the solution material increases rapidly and reaches the maximum value after 12h sensitization heat treatment. After that, it still belonged to severe sensitization situation, but the index gradually decreased. After stabilizing heat treatment, the sensitization degree of the material is lower than the situation of solution. After heat treatment for 48h, the material located on “possible sensitization” range, and the sensitization degree of the secondary stabilized material was always lower than is of the primary. It indicates that the sensitization of materials can not be completely inhibited by stabilizing heat treatment, and other anti-corrosion measures should be considered.
