摘要： Material design strategies for energy storage applications can be considered in two major categories: (1) control of structure and composition and (2) material dimensional control such as the implementation of nanomaterials. Characterization of electrochemical properties determines energy content and possible viability for potential application. Equally critical yet more challenging is quantifying the non-Faradaic parasitic reactions of the active materials and the relationship to battery life. Understanding the significant factors associated with battery lifetimes for the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is critical for the development of new ICD batteries. In situ dissolution of the cathode material has been identified as a major factor in premature end of life for ICD batteries. This study contains the kinetic analyses of silver and vanadium dissolution from the benchmark silver vanadium oxide (SVO) material and two silver vanadium phosphorous oxide (SVPO-H and SVPO-R) materials with differing physical properties in a non-aqueous ICD battery electrolyte. A comparison of the kinetic and mechanistic results for SVO, SVPO-H and SVPO-R provides insight for future material design approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

摘要： The present investigation concerns high performance mechanical components such as crankshafts, injection rails, or many other parts which are manufactured using specially designed steel grades. These steel grades are such that they produce a mostly bainitic microstructure when cooled from a hot-forming process and without the need for heat-treatment. The relationship between cooling conditions (i.e. product dimensions), mechanical properties and bainite transformation kinetics is investigated on laboratory and industrial materials. It is shown that fast transformation kinetics are best to ensure insensitivity to cooling conditions. Material design based on this principles allowed the manufacture of a steel grade that exhibited a constant UTS of approximately 1200 MPa for bars as small as 16 mm up to over 160 mm.

摘要： Background: Catheter ablation of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT) is possible with mechanical circulatory support (MCS), little is known regarding the relative safety and efficacy of different supporting devices for such procedures. Methods and results: Sixteen consecutive patients (aged 63 +/- 11 years with left ventricular ejection fraction of 20 +/- 9%) who underwent ablation of hemodynamically unstable VT were included in this study. Hemodynamic support included percutaneous (Impella(R) 2.5, n = 5) and implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs, n = 6) and peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB, n = 5). Except for 2 Impella cases, hemodynamic support was adequate (with consistent mean arterial pressure of >60 mmHg) to permit sufficient activation mapping for ablation. In the Impella and CPB groups, mean time under hemodynamic support was 185 +/- 86 min, and time in VT was 78 +/- 36 min. Clinical VT could be terminated at least once by ablation in all patients except 1 case with Impella due to hemodynamic instability. Peri-procedural complications included hemolysis in 1 patient with Impella and surgical intervention for percutaneous Impella placement problems in another 2. The median number of appropriately delivered defibrillator therapies was significantly decreased from 6 in the month before VT ablation to 0 in the month following ablation (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Our data suggest that peripheral CPB and implantable LVAD provide adequate hemodynamic support for successful ablation of unstable VT. Impella(R) 2.5, on the other hand, was associated with increased risk of complications, and may not provide sufficient hemodynamic support in some cases. (C) 2013 The Authors.

摘要： R. Richert has made a comment to a paper of ours in which dielectric measures on poly(vinyl acetate) suggest that there is a change in temperature dependence of the temperature shift factors from Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) to Arrhenius near to the glass transition temperature. He notes that we made an error in the description of his data and further notes that the data we did not use show a VFT behavior to well below the glass transition. Here we respond to the comment and add additional analysis that suggest that the differences in results are related to the differences between time temperature superposition (TTS) of data and fitting the data with a Kohlrausch, Williams, and Watts function. When TTS is used on the data from Wagner and Richert [Polymer38, 255 (1997)] the change in behavior to Arrhenius-like below Tg is recovered.

摘要： The temperature dependence of polymer dynamics below the standard glass transition is of considerable interest. Glassy relaxation dictates the process of physical aging, and understanding these slow dynamics helps in assessing a possible divergence at a finite temperature. In a recent paper, Zhao and McKenna have measured the equilibrium dynamics of poly(vinyl acetate) in the range from T g ? 15 K to T g + 30 K using Struiks protocol [J. Zhao and G. B. McKenna, J. Chem. Phys.136, 154901 (2012)]. In a figure that is meant to compare their results with dielectric relaxation data from Wagner and Richert [Polymer38, 255 (1997)], dielectric retardation data from that work is shown instead. The corrected figure shows a considerable difference in the two measurements below T g ? 10 K, Arrhenius versus Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann behavior, and a possible source of the difference is discussed.

摘要： 混合动力汽车与传统车有很大区别,目前的混合动力AMT多采用传统的单参数或双参数换档规律,难以充分发挥混合动力的优势。基于简化后混合动力系统模型,建立了混合动力客车燃油经济性、排放性最优和换档频率较低的目标泛函,并设计了基于动态规划的新型求解算法。最后得出了在中国典型城市公交循环工况下的最优换档决策序列。在中国典型城市公交工况下分别使用传统双参数和基于动态规划的换档决策进行仿真和实车试验,结果表明混合动力公交客车应用最优换档决策序列后,其燃油经济性有了明显提高,换档次数明显减少。
