Complexity is shown to increase exponentially with the number of vulnerabilities in combination with security risk management entropy. However, vulnerabilities can be either local or non-local, where the former is confined to networked elements and the latter results from interactions between elements. Furthermore, interactions involve multiple methods of communication, where each method can contain vulnerabilities specific to that method. Importantly, the number of possible interactions scales quadratically with the number of elements in standard network topologies. Minimizing these interactions can significantly reduce the number of vulnerabilities and the accompanying complexity. Two network configurations that yield sub-quadratic and linear scaling relations are presented.展开更多

They also provide information for interpreting several soil mechanical and physical properties such as shear strength, compressibility, shrinkage and swelling potentials. Although, several studies have been conducted regarding the land use effects on various soil mechanical properties, little is known about the effects of land use and slope positions on Atterberg limits and consistency indices. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of land use and slope position on selected soil physical and chemical properties, Atterberg limits and consistency indices in hilly region of western Iran. Three land uses including dryland farming, irrigated farming and pasture and four slope positions(i.e., shoulder, backslope, footslope, and toeslope) were used for soil samplings. One hundred eleven soil samples were collected from the surface soil(0-10 cm). Selected physical and chemical properties, liquid limit(LL), plastic limit(PL) and shrinkage limit(SL) were measured using the standard methods; and consistency indices including plastic index(PI), friability index(FI), shrinkage index(SI) and soil activity(A=PI/clay) were calculated. The results showed that irrigated farming significantly increased organic matter content(OM) and OM/clay ratio, and decreased bulk density(ρb) and relative bulk density(ρb-rel) as a result of higher biomass production and plant residues added to the soil compared to other land uses. Except for sand content, OM, ρb, cation exchange capacity(CEC) and calcium carbonate equivalent(CCE), slope position significantly affected soil physical and chemical properties. The highest values of silt, OM/clay and CEC/clay were found in the toeslope position, predominantly induced by soil redistribution within the landscape. The use of complexed(COC)- noncomplexed organic carbon(NCOC) concept indicated that majority of the studied soils were located below the saturation line and the OM in the soils was mainly in the COC form. The LL, PI, FI and A showed significant differences among the land uses; the highest values belonged to the irrigated farming due to high biomass production and plant residues returned to the soils. Furthermore, slope position significantly affected the Atterberg limits and consistency indices except for SL. The highest values of LL, PI, SI and A were observed in the toeslope position probably because of higher OM and CEC/clay due to greater amount of expandable phyllosilicate clays. Overall, soils on the toeslope under irrigated farming with high LL and SI and low values of FI need careful tillage management to avoid soil compaction.展开更多

The fluorescence behavior of PMMA: Na 3Eu(DPA) 3 material was examined. The results show that the composite material keeps the luminescent characteristics of the Eu 3+ chelate after PMMA is incorporated with Na 3Eu(DPA) 3, and strong orange-red emission of the composite was observed. The fluorescence intensity of the composite material increases with the increase of the weight ratio of Na 3Eu(DPA) 3 to PMMA, but the relationship is not linear.展开更多

XRD and SEM measurements were performed to verify the non-crystalline structure of the glass. The influence of the glass contents on the structure of the glass and the erwrgy level of the doped Tb （Ⅲ） ions was analyzed by the emission spectra and IR spectra. The effect of B2O3 on the photolumirwscence properties of rare earth organic complex in silica- based glass was investigated. The IR spectra indicate that the in situ sylthesized rare earth complex molecule was confined to the micropores of the bost and the vibration of the ligands was frozen. When B2O3 was added into the silica host gel, B2O3 had little influence on the noncrystallirw structure of the glass, and BO3 triangle, which had a layer structure different from the silica framework, could form. So the silica network became more inhomogenous, and the luminescence of terbium complexes was quenched with the increase of the B2O23 amount.展开更多

The results show that all the tested organic acids（acetic acid,malonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, and malic acid） can promote RE extraction. At relatively high concentrations of organic acids, the activation efficiency of organic acids on RE extraction is generally consistent with their complexation ability; whereas at their low concentrations, the change of zeta potential on the IRE-ore surface with organic acid concentration and p H has a close association with RE extraction, which indicates that organic acids can impact the surface electrical property of IREore via their adsorption/desorption, and thereby increase/decrease the affinity of RE ions to IRE-ore.Therefore the influence of organic acids on the IRE-ore surface electrical property also plays an important role in RE extraction in addition to their complexation with RE ions.展开更多

文摘Atterberg limits and consistency indices are used for classifications of cohesive(fine-grained) soils in relation with compaction and tillage practices. They also provide information for interpreting several soil mechanical and physical properties such as shear strength, compressibility, shrinkage and swelling potentials. Although, several studies have been conducted regarding the land use effects on various soil mechanical properties, little is known about the effects of land use and slope positions on Atterberg limits and consistency indices. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of land use and slope position on selected soil physical and chemical properties, Atterberg limits and consistency indices in hilly region of western Iran. Three land uses including dryland farming, irrigated farming and pasture and four slope positions(i.e., shoulder, backslope, footslope, and toeslope) were used for soil samplings.

Selected physical and chemical properties, liquid limit(LL), plastic limit(PL) and shrinkage limit(SL) were measured using the standard methods; and consistency indices including plastic index(PI), friability index(FI), shrinkage index(SI) and soil activity(A=PI/clay) were calculated. The results showed that irrigated farming significantly increased organic matter content(OM) and OM/clay ratio, and decreased bulk density(ρb) and relative bulk density(ρb-rel) as a result of higher biomass production and plant residues added to the soil compared to other land uses.

文摘Hole-transporting material(HTM)plays a paramount role in enhancing the photovltaic performance of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Currently,the vast majority of these HTMs employed in PSCs are organic small molecules and polymers,yet the use of organic metal complexes in PSCs applications remains less explored.To date,most of reported HTMs require additional chemical additives(e.g.Li-TFSI,t-TBP)towards high performance,however,the introduction of additives decrease the PSCs device stability.Herein,an organic metal complex(Ni-TPA)is first developed as a dopant-free HTM applied in PSCs for its facile synthesis and efficient hole extract/transfer ability.Consequently,the dopant-free Ni-TPAbased device achieves a champion efficiency of 17.89%,which is superior to that of pristine Spiro-OMeTAD(14.25%).Furthermore,we introduce a double HTM layer with a graded energy bandgap containing a Ni-TPA layer and a CuSCN layer into PSCs,the non-encapsulated PSCs based on the Ni-TPA/CuSCN layers affords impressive efficiency up to 20.39%and maintains 96%of the initial PCE after 1000 h at a relative humidity around 40%.The results have demonstrated that metal organic complexes represent a great promise for designing new dopant-free HTMs towards highly stable PSCs.

文摘This paper presents the results of the search of biologically active uranium compounds such as amino acids. We first received and examined X-ray and IR （infrared radiation） spectroscopy of uranium complexes with α- and β-amino acids in aqueous and organic solution. We proposed a method for direct synthesis of complex organic compounds of uranium chloride UO2Cl2 with α- andβ-amino acids for the synthesis of drugs for the treatment of cancer.
文摘The most simple method for solventless synthesis of supramolecular complex of CMCR·2BPY·BZP, [CMCR = C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene, BPY = 4,4'-bipyridine, BZP = benzophenone], is proposed. Although CMCR by itself is high melting point compound (above 300°C), CMCR was found to be dissolved in melt mixture of BPY and BZPeven below 120°C. In the mixture of the three components, the reaction occurs to form CMCR·2BPY·BZP supramolecular complex.

文摘Terephthalic acid reformed Al/Zn metal organic nanoflake was prepared and functionalized with trie-thylamine(T-AlZn).Without adding terephthalic acid,there was no product of metal organic nanoflake.T-AlZn has a remarkable performance in removing trace lead(Ⅱ)ions(Pb^(2+)).The adsorption equipoise with the removal rate≥97%was reached within 35 min.The removal rates of T-AlZn for Pb^(2+)declined by only 16.73%after four regenerations.The adsorption of T-AlZn for Pb^(2+)follows the Langmuir isotherms model and pseudo-second-order dynamics model.The utmost adsorption competence was calculated as 215.27 mg g^(-1).The T-AlZn adsorbent exhibits a bright prospect in the adsorption for Pb^(2+)and is a considerable candidate in the disposal of industrial sewage.

文摘Sn-based metal organic complexes with coordination bonds,multi-active sites,and high theoretical capacity have attracted much attention as promising anodes for lithium ion batteries.However,the low electrical conductivity and huge volume changes restricted their electrochemical stability and practical utilization.Herein,Snbased anode with superior electrochemical performance,including a high reversible capacity of 1050.1 mAh·g^(-1)at 2 A·g^(-1)and a stable capacity of 1105.5 mAh·g^(-1)after 500 cycles at 1 A·g^(-1),was fabricated via a low-temperature calcination strategy from Sn metal organic complexes.The low-temperature calcination process regulates Sn-O bond and prevents the agglomeration of SnO_(2),generating highly dispersed SnO_(2) decorated metal organic complexes and providing sufficient active sites for ion storage.Ex situ characterizations expound that the undecomposed Sn-based metal organic complexes could be transformed into SnO_(2) during lithiation and delithiation,which enhances the electrical conductivity and induces a strong pseudo-capacitive behavior,accelerating the electrochemical kinetics;the multiple solid electrolyte interface with inflexible LiF and flexible ROCO_(2)Li buffers the volume variation of the electrode,resulting in its high electrochemical stability.This work provides a simple strategy for preparing excellent Sn-based anodes from metal organic complexes and reveals the lithium storage mechanism of the prepared Snbased anode.
文摘A novel Fe/Co metal organic complex nanosheet modified by 1,4-dicarboxybenzene(BDC),i.e.,FeCo@BDC,was prepared,and highly efficient removal performance for trace lead(Ⅱ)(Pb^(2+))was demonstrated in the neutral aqueous solutions.The removal rates were higher than 95%and the adsorption was equilibrated in 15 min.The isotherms and kinetics for the adsorption Pb^(2+)by the FeCo@BDC adsorbents followed Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model,respectively.The maximum adsorption capacity was 220.48 mg g^(-1).The FeCo@BDC adsorbents also own a prominent regeneration performance.The prominent performance of in the removal of trace Pb^(2+)makes FeCo@BDC an ideal candidate as commercial adsorbent materials.

文摘The development of alternative low-cost and high-performing hole-transporting materials(HTMs) is of great significance for the potential large-scale application of perovskite solar cells(PSCs) in the future.Here,a facilely synthesized solution-processable copper tetra-(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyanine(CuPc-DMP) via only two simple steps,has been incorporated as a hole-transporting material(HTM) in mesoscopic perovskite solar cells(PSCs).The optimized devices based on such a HTM afford a very competitive power conversion efficiency(PCE) of up to 17.1%measured at 100 mW cm^(-2) AM 1.5G irradiation,which is on par with that of the well-known 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N'N'-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene(spiro-OMeTAD)(16.7%) under equivalent conditions.This is,to the best of our knowledge,the highest value reported so far for metal organic complex-based HTMs in PSCs.The advantages of this HTM observed,such as facile synthetic procedure,superior hole transport characteristic,high photovoltaic performance together with the feasibility of tailoring the molecular structure would make solution-processable copper phthalocyanines as a class of promising HTM that can be further explored in PSCs.The present finding highlights the potential application of solution processed metal organic complexes as HTMs for cost-effective and high-performing PSCs.

文摘To examine the activation of organic acids on the leaching process of ion-adsorption type rare earth ore（IRE-ore）, the leaching behavior of rare earth（RE） and zeta potential of IRE-ore were investigated in the absence and presence of carboxylic acids. The results show that all the tested organic acids（acetic acid,malonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, and malic acid） can promote RE extraction. At relatively high concentrations of organic acids, the activation efficiency of organic acids on RE extraction is generally consistent with their complexation ability; whereas at their low concentrations, the change of zeta potential on the IRE-ore surface with organic acid concentration and p H has a close association with RE extraction, which indicates that organic acids can impact the surface electrical property of IREore via their adsorption/desorption, and thereby increase/decrease the affinity of RE ions to IRE-ore.Therefore the influence of organic acids on the IRE-ore surface electrical property also plays an important role in RE extraction in addition to their complexation with RE ions.
