Numerical Simulation of Flow Field in Large Bottom-Blown Furnace Under Different Scale-Up Criteria
In this paper, the fluid dynamics software Fluent is used to simulate the gas–liquid two-phase flow characteristics of a bottom-blown furnace under four different scale-up criteria. The results show that most ...

Open AccessTunable tribological properties in water-based lubrication of water-soluble fullerene derivatives via varying terminal groups
In this paper, three kinds of water-soluble fullerene derivatives were synthesized via electrophilic addition reaction and cycloaddition reaction, respectively. The chemical composition characterizations of th...

Open AccessTunable water-based lubrication behavior of alkyl- and fluoroalkyl-silanes
In this paper, we report the tribological properties of self-assembled molecular (SAM) films of fluoroalkylsilanes and non-fluoroalkylsilanes, with different chain-lengths, adsorbed on Si substrate surfaces by...

Magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si1.85Ge2.15 prepared by Gd metal with lower purity
The magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect of Gd5Si1.85Ge2.15 alloy are studied. The alloy was prepared from distilled commercial gadolinium. The major impurities (in wt.%) in the distilled commercia...

Effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor on the reactive astrogliosis of cultured astrocytes from newborn rat brain
The effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) on reactive astrogliosis was studied on a mechanical scratch model of the confluent astrocytic cultures from newborn rat brain. Following injury, the astrocytes...

Production of human neurotrophin-3 in baculovirus expression system
Human NT-3 gene was inserted into pPAK9 and the resultant plasmid was used to co-transfect sf21 cells with Bsu36 I digested Bac6 genomic DNA. Recombinant baculovirus was isolated by plaque assay. Slot-hybridiz...
