: Lithium aluminate has attracted researchers’ interests due to its wide applications. By combining electronic structural and lattice phonon thermodynamic calculations, the CO2 capture properties of γ-LiAlO2 and α-Li5AlO4 are investigated. Both γ-LiAlO2 and α-Li5AlO4 are insulators with wide band gaps of 4.70 and 4.76 eV respectively. Their 1st valence bands just below the Fermi level are mainly formed by p orbitals of Li, O and Al as well as s orbital of Li. By increasing the temperature from 0 K up to 1500 K, their phonon free energies are decreased while their entropies are increased. Targeting on developing post- and pre-combustion CO2 capture technologies, the obtained results indicated that γ-LiAlO2 is thermodynamically favorable to capture CO2 at lower temperature range (500-800 K) while α-Li5AlO4 could capture CO2 at higher temperature (800-1000 K) range in comparison with other solid sorbents, such as pure Li2O, Li4SiO4 and Li2ZrO3.

The thermal degradation of Ca(II), Mg(II), Zn(II), Fe(II), and Ni(II) chelates of EDTA was investigated in alkaline aqueous solution at elevated temperatures (230–310 °C). The kinetics of decomposition were followed by nmr, titrimetry, and spectrophotometry. Reaction products were identified through nmr and by gas chromatography. The relative order of degradation rates, as measured by the loss of EDTA, was found to be Mg(II) > Ca(II) > Zn(II) > Fe(II) > Ni(II). The main degradation products formed in the lower temperature range (~250 °C) are iminodiacetic acid, hydroxyethyliminodiacetic acid, and ethylene glycol. Higher temperature products are primarily dimethylamine and carbon dioxide. The rates of degradation of Ca(II), Mg(II), and Zn(II) EDTA chelates are considerably enhanced when either phosphate is present or a glass-lined autoclave is employed.

Sorghum Bicolor L

The nutritional and physicochemical properties of sorghum proteins and starch make the use of this cereal for food production challenging. Sprouting is a cost-effective technology to improve the nutritional and functional profile of grains. Two drying treatments were used after sorghum sprouting to investigate whether the drying phase could improve the protein and starch functionalities. Results showed that the drying treatment at lower temperature/longer time (40 °C for 12 h) extended the enzymatic activity that started during sprouting compared to the one performed at higher temperature/shorter time (50 °C for 6 h). An increased protein hydrolysis and water- and oil-holding capacity were found in the flour obtained by the former treatment. Higher protein matrix hydrolysis caused high exposure of starch to enzymes, thus increasing its digestibility, while worsening the technological functionality. Overall, modulating drying conditions could represent a further way, in addition to sprouting, to improve sorghum flour’s nutritional profile.

AbstractThe relationship between air temperature and the hospital admission of adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was analyzed. The hospitalization data pertaining to adult CAP patients (age ≥ 18 years) in two tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Baotou, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China from 2014 to 2018 and meteorological data there in the corresponding period were collected. The exposure–response relationship between the daily average temperature and the hospital admission of adult CAP patients was quantified by using a distributed lag non-linear model. A total of 4466 cases of adult patients with CAP were admitted. After eliminating some confounding factors such as relative humidity, wind speed, air pressure, long-term trend, and seasonal trend, a lower temperature was found to be associated with a higher risk of adult CAP. Compared to 21 °C, lower temperature range of 4 to –12 °C was associated with a greater number of CAP hospitalizations among those aged ≥ 65 years, and the highest relative risk (RR) was 2.80 (95% CI 1.15–6.80) at a temperature of − 10 °C. For those < 65 years, lower temperature was not related to CAP hospitalizations. Cumulative lag RRs of low temperature with CAP hospitalizations indicate that the risk associated with colder temperatures appeared at a lag of 0–7 days. For those ≥ 65 years, the cumulative RR of CAP hospitalizations over lagging days 0–5 was 1.89 (95% CI 1.01–3. 56). In brief, the lower temperature had age-specific effects on CAP hospitalizations in Baotou, China, especially among those aged ≥ 65 years.

The microstructural evolution in an Al - Cu - Mg - Ag alloy with trace Zr addition during homogenization treatment was characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). It was shown that the low-melting-point phase segregating toward grain boundaries is Al 2 Cu , with a melting point of 523.52°C. A two-step homogenization process was employed to optimize the microstructure of the as-cast alloy, during which the alloy was first homogenized at a lower temperature, then at a higher temperature. After homogenized at 420°C for 6 h, Al 3 Zr particles were finely formed in the matrix. After that, when the alloy was homogenized at an elevated temperature for a longer time, i.e., 515°C for 24 h, most of the precipates at the grain boundaries were removed. Furthermore, the dispersive Al 3 Zr precipitates were retained, without coarsening greatly in the final homogenization step. A kinetics model is employed to predict the optimal homogenization time at a given temperature theoretically, and it confirms the result in present study, which is 420°C/6h+515°C/24h.

Double compression tests were performed on a Gleeble-3800 thermomechanical simulator to study the softening behaviors of deformed austenite in a V-N microalloyed steel. The static recrystallization volume fractions were calculated by stress offset method, and the kinetic model of static recrystallization was constructed. The effects of temperature, strain, and time interval on the softening behaviors were analyzed, and the interactions between precipitation and recrystallization were discussed. The results show that the softening behaviors of the deformed austenite at lower temperature or higher temperature are markedly different. At the temperature of 850°C or 800°C, pinning effects of the precipitates play the main role, and the recrystallization process is inhibited, which leads to the formation of plateaus in the softening curves. An increase in strain promotes the precipitation and recrystallization processes while reduces the inhibition effect of precipitation on recrystallization as well.

Comparing the formability with each other, extrusion and various rolling experiments were carried out to make fine-grained AZ31 Mg sheets, and uni-axial tensile tests were carried out at different strain rates and temperatures to investigate the effect of different variables. A warm deep drawing tool setup with heating elements, which were distributed under the die surface and inside the blank holder, was designed and manufactured, and deep drawing was performed. Extruded Mg alloy AZ31 sheets exhibit the best deep drawing ability when working in the temperature range 250-350°C. Extruded and rolled sheets of 0.8 mm thick were also deep drawn in the lower temperature range 105-170°C，showing good formability and reaching a Limit Drawing Ratio up to 2.6 at 170°C for rolled sheets. At last, a sheet cup 0.4 mm thick was deep drawn successfully at 170 °C.

The effects of Sr addition on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Mg-6Al mag- nesium alloy both at 25 °C and at 175 °C were investigated by means of OM, SEM and EDS and XRD. Upon the Sr addition of 2%, the tensile strength was increased by 7.2% to 184.4MPa at 25 °C, while it was increased by 30% to 155.4MPa at 175 °C. The strengthening mechanism of Mg-6Al-xSr at lower temperature (25 °C) was different from that at higher temperature (175°C). The results show that the addition of strontium effectively improved the microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy.

Abstract Experiments are presented of the response of pseudoelastic NiTi wires subjected to displacement controlled cycles. A custom built thermo-mechanical testing apparatus is used to control the background temperature field of the wire specimen while allowing the evolution of transformation fronts to be tracked by full field infrared imaging. Two experiments under similar end-displacement histories, but at temperatures ≈8°C apart, are shown to give remarkably different cyclic responses. The mechanical response for the lower temperature experiment continued to soften but retained its shape through 43 partial transformation cycles, and the pattern of transformation fronts seemed to reach a steady state. The response for the higher temperature experiment showed a change in shape of the mechanical response and distinct changes in transformation front patterns over 31 partial transformation cycles.
