Abstract Graphene/Cu composites were fabricated through a graphene in-situ grown approach, which involved ball-milling of Cu powders with PMMA as solid carbon source, growth on flaky and vacuum hot-press sintering. SEM TEM characterization results indicated that guaranteed homogeneous dispersion good combination between matrix, well the intact structure graphene, was beneficial to its strengthening effect. The yield strength 244 MPa tensile 274 achieved in composite 0.95 wt.% separately 177%...

Abstract The 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the authors of first two publications utilizing concept combined quantum mechanical and molecular (QM/MM) methods. In celebrating this great event computational chemistry, we review early development QM/MM techniques associated events that took place through mid‐1990s. We also offer some prospects for future macromolecular systems.

Abstract In higher plants, miR156 regulates the vegetative phase change via target SBP/SPL genes. The regulation of during ontogenetic processes is not fully understood. apple genome, 31 putative MdMIR156 genes that encode pre-miR156, seven were dominantly expressed. However, transcript levels only MdMIR156a5 and MdMIR156a12 decreased significantly change, which was consistent with mature level, indicating under transcriptional regulation.

Animal feed (including forage and silage) can be contaminated with mycotoxins. Here, 200 maize silage samples from around China were collected in 2019 analyzed for regulated mycotoxins, masked mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol, deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside), emerging (beauvericin, enniatins, moniliformin, alternariol). Deoxynivalenol zearalenone detected 99.5% 79.5% of the samples, respectively. Other fewer samples. The highest deoxynivalenol...

Based on the corrected Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham total energy density functional [Y. A. Zhang and Y. Wang, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 144116 (2009)], we have developed two linear-expansion shooting techniques (LIST)- direct LIST (LISTd) indirect (LISTi), to accelerate convergence of self-consistent field (SCF) calculations. Case studies show that overall LISTi is most robust efficient algorithm for accelerating SCF convergence, whereas LISTd advantageous in early stage an process. More importantly,...

We have studied single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) doped with transition metal (TM) atoms both exo and endo doping configurations. The electronic geometric properties of these TM-doped SWCNTs were calculated within density functional theory. It was found that the endo-doped are less stable than exo-doped counterparts due to large strain deformation in nanotubes. On basis partial charge analysis, localized net distributions, whereas spin densities Sc-, Co-, Cu-doped delocalized over...

The rich chemistry of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is enhanced by substitutional doping, a process in which single atom the nanotube sidewall replaced heteroatom. These so-called heteroatom-substituted SWCNTs (HSWCNTs) exhibit unique chemical and physical properties not observed their corresponding undoped congeners. Herein, we present theoretical studies both main group element transition metal-doped HSWCNTs. Within density functional theory (DFT), discuss mechanistic details...
