Al-Cu-Li alloys are widely applied to fuel tanks that work under cryogenic temperature environments, so it is important to understand their flow behavior and microstructure evolution at cryogenic temperatures. We found that as the temperature decreased (ranging from 298 to 77 K), both the...

Superhydrophobic materials with surface drying, self-cleaning, and antibiological pollution characters are broadly used in biotechnology, medicine, and shipbuilding sectors. In this paper, micro-nano silica is modified using a silane-based coupling agent. An organosilicon compound is grafted to...

How important is financial development for economic development? A costly state verification model of financial intermediation is presented to address this question. The model is calibrated to match facts about the U.S. economy, such as the intermediation spreads and the firm-size distributions...

A novel fluorescent probe based on functional mesoporous material (denoted as SBA-KH-2py) with high sensitivity and selectivity of detecting silver ions (Ag + ) was designed and prepared by immobilizing (4-nitro-2-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene) amino) aniline (denoted as 2py-Schiff base) within the...
