Bimetallic nanostructures with non-random metal atoms distribution are very important for various applications. To synthesize such structures via benign wet chemistry approach remains challenging. This paper reports a synthesis of Au/Pd alloy nanostructure through the galvanic replacement reaction between Pd ultrathin nanowires (2.4 ± 0.2 nm in width, over 30 length) and AuCl3 toluene. Both morphological structural changes were monitored during up to 10 h. Continuous chemical composition...

This paper examines the effect of independent director reputation incentives on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Using an unbalanced panel 3765 Chinese-listed firms between 2009 and 2014, this study suggests that improve CSR. Furthermore, it is found more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) than state-owned (SOEs). In addition, our results also show CSR moderated by firm size, much stronger relatively larger firms. Together, these suggest effective mechanism can...

Abstract This study examines whether differentiated disclosure of key audit matter (KAM) in China indicates a higher financial misstatement risk. Our empirical demonstrates that statements with less boilerplate KAM are more likely to be subsequently restated than those KAM. association is only pronounced for smaller auditing firms stronger legal environments. Additionally, auditors who report disclose risk‐related information. Moreover, clients restate reports when the relates managers'...

The illustrates that are complementary, instead one substituting the other, highly intertwined hybrid environment which meaningful experiences conditioned produced. It also suggests an...

Background: Potentilla discolor Bge. is a plant extensively utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMs). Nevertheless, our knowledge of the chemical components and metabolic complexities its extracts still quite limited. Objective: The study aimed to thoroughly analyze flavonoid metabolism conduct pharmacodynamic evaluation. Methods: In this study, we investigated flavonoids using SD rats. research adopted strategy “in vivo assessment, basic pharmacodynamics preliminary evaluation...

Background Potentilla discolor Bunge (PDB) is a plant of the Rosaceae family. A wide range pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial, hypoglycemic, and others, can be achieved through its chemical components, which include terpenes, steroids, polyphenols, flavonoids. However, effects herb on heart are unclear. Purpose To explore effect main components PDB myocardial cell membranes. Materials Methods We investigated role different concentrations in cardiomyocytes by evaluating...

Wet adhesion phenomenon of the soap bubble bridge is widespread in climbing behaviors geckos and insects, surface shapes generally have important impact on behavior bridge. In order to focus effect shape wet adhesion, we study between two rigid surfaces containing different such as concave, flat, convex. For a given bridge, relationship force separation numerically calculated, corresponding configuration also given. The results show that decreases with increase separation. This trend same...

The sizes of individual data files have steadily increased along with rising demand for customized services, leading to issues such as low efficiency web‐based geographical information system (WebGIS)‐based compression, transmission, and rendering rich Internet applications (RIAs) in complicated visualization systems. In this article, a WebGIS‐based technical solution the efficient transmission meteorological big is proposed. Based on open‐source technology HTML5 Mapbox GL, proposed scheme...
