Convective Marangoni instabilities in drying polymer films may induce surface deformations, which persist in the dry film, deteriorating product performance. While theoretic stability analyses are abundantly available, experimental data are scarce. We report transient three-dimensional flow field measurements in thin poly(vinyl acetate)-methanol films, drying under ambient conditions with several films exhibiting short-scale Marangoni convection cells. An initial assessment of the upper limit of thermal and solutal Marangoni numbers reveals that the solutal effect is likely to be the dominant cause for the observed instabilities.

By using alternating-current electrochemical synthesis, crystals of the CuI π-complexes bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-chloro-bis[chlorocopper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Cl4] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuCl2], and bis(1-allyl-2-aminopyridinium) di-μ-(chloro/bromo)-bis[(chloro/bromo)copper(I)], (C8H11N2)2[Cu2Br2.2Cl1.8] or [H2NC5H4NC3H5][CuBr1.10Cl0.90], have been obtained and structurally investigated. In each of the isostructural (isomorphous) compounds, the distorted tetrahedral Cu environment involves three halide atoms and the C=C bond of the ligand. Both compounds reside on inversion centres, and the dimeric [Cu2 X 4·2H2NC5H4NC3H5] units are bonded into a three-dimensional structure by N—H...X hydrogen bonds. The Br content in the terminal X1 position is much higher than that in the bridged X2 site.

Abstract Background Atherosclerotic plaques are often present in regions with complicated flow patterns. Vascular morphology plays a role in hemodynamics. In this study, we investigate the relationship between the geometry of the vertebrobasilar artery system and the basilar artery (BA) plaque prevalence.Methods We enrolled 290 patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke. We distinguished four configurations of the vertebrobasilar artery: Walking, Tuning Fork, Lambda, and No Confluence. The diameter of the vertebral artery (VA) and the number of bends in the intracranial VA segment was assessed using three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography. We differentiated between multi-bending (≥ 3 bends) and oligo-bending (< 3 bends) VAs. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate BA plaques. Logistic regression models examined the relationship between the geometry type and BA plaque prevalence.Results After adjusting for sex, age, body mass index ≥ 28, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, the Walking, Lambda, and No Confluence geometries were associated with the presence of BA plaque. Patients with multi-bending VAs in both the Walking (71.43%, P = 0.003) and Lambda group (40.43%, P = 0.018) had more plaques compared to patients with oligo-bending VAs in these groups. In the Lambda group, the diameter difference between the VAs was larger in patients with BA plaques than that in patients without BA plaques (1.4 mm vs. 0.9 mm, P < 0.001).Conclusions The Walking, Lambda, and No Confluence geometry, ≥ 3 bends in the VAs, and a large diameter difference between the VAs were associated with the presence of BA plaque.

A new category of large-diameter adaptable amphibious wheel-legged robot is proposed in this paper. The proposed mechanism can climb obstacles better than existing designs. The Denavit–Hartenberg (D–H) coordinate system is used for kinematic analysis, and the constructed kinematic model is used to solve for these joint variables for a redundant robot. The control strategy is to plan both the foot trajectory of the amphibious robot, to optimize the operational performance in special environments, as well as the walking gait. Then the closed-loop control system is used. A simulation is used to verify the usefulness of the planned foot trajectory and walking gait for an entire running cycle, and a circuit is designed to solve a communication problem between the Arduino and the AX-12 servo. Finally, the foot trajectory of a single robot leg is captured by a three-dimensional motion-capture system to verify the rationality of the foot trajectory and walking gait.

3D-graphene provide abundant space for N2, and the carbon–sulfur bonds provides a continuous supply of electrons for N2 reduction. A remarkably large NH3 yield of 38.81 μgNH3 mgcat−1 h−1 and FE of 7.72% for N2 reduction was obtained.

CsCoO2, featuring a two-dimensional layered architecture of edge- and vertex-linked CoO4 tetrahedra, is subjected to a temperature-driven reversible second-order phase transformation (α → β) at 100 K, which corresponds to a structural relaxation with concurrent tilting and breathing modes of edge-sharing CoO4 tetrahedra. In the present investigation, it was found that pressure induces a phase transition, which encompasses a dramatic change in the connectivity of the tetrahedra. At 923 K and 2 GPa, β-CsCoO2 undergoes a first-order phase transition to a new quenchable high-pressure polymorph, γ-CsCoO2. It is built up of a three-dimensional cristobalite-type network of vertex-sharing CoO4 tetrahedra. According to a Rietveld refinement of high-resolution powder diffraction data, the new high-pressure polymorph γ-CsCoO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/amd:2 (Z = 4) with the lattice constants a = 5.8711 (1) and c = 8.3214 (2) Å, corresponding to a shrinkage in volume by 5.7% compared with the ambient-temperature and atmospheric pressure β-CsCoO2 polymorph. The pressure-induced transition (β → γ) is reversible; γ-CsCoO2 stays metastable under ambient conditions, but transforms back to the β-CsCoO2 structure upon heating to 573 K. The transformation pathway revealed is remarkable in that it is topotactic, as is demonstrated through a clean displacive transformation track between the two phases that employs the symmetry of their common subgroup Pb21 a (alternative setting of space group No. 29 that matches the conventional β-phase cell).

SummaryObjective: To investigate the effect of intramedullary pin size and plate working length on plate strain in locking compression plate-rod constructs.Methods: A synthetic bone model with a 40 mm fracture gap was used. Locking compression plates with monocortical locking screws were tested with no pin (LCP-Mono) and intramedullary pins of 20% (LCPR-20), 30% (LCPR-30) and 40% (LCPR-40) of intramedullary diameter. Two screws per fragment modelled a long (8-hole) and short (4-hole) plate working length. Strain responses to axial compression were recorded at six regions of the plate via three-dimensional digital image correlation.Results: The addition of a pin of any size provided a significant decrease in plate strain. For the long working length, LCPR-30 and LCPR-40 had significantly lower strain than the LCPR-20, and plate strain was significantly higher adjacent to the screw closest to the fracture site. For the short working length, there was no significant difference in strain across any LCPR constructs or at any region of the plate. Plate strain was significantly lower for the short working length compared to the long working length for the LCP-Mono and LCPR-20 constructs, but not for the LCPR-30 and LCPR-40 constructs.Clinical significance: The increase in plate strain encountered with a long working length can be overcome by the use of a pin of 30–40% intramedullary diameter. Where placement of a large diameter pin is not possible, screws should be placed as close to the fracture gap as possible to minimize plate strain and distribute it more evenly over the plate.
