Microalloyed S355N steel plates are extensively used in bridge and high-rise building structures. One of the factors affecting the mechanical properties is the size and morphology of inclusions. In this research, microalloyed S355N steel plates with different sizes of inclusions were examined. One contained long manganese sulfide inclusions (LI material) and the other had short ones (SI materia...

This paper is the first of a series that deals with Dr. Michael Schülke's collection of Pselaphinae from China. The tyrine genera Labomimus Sharp, Linan Hlaváč and Pselaphodes Westwood are chosen for the first part. The study revealed fourteen new species, all described and illustrated: Labomimus cognatus Yin & Li, sp. n. (Yunnan), Labomimus dabashanus Yin & Li, sp. n. (Hubei, Shaanxi), Labomim...

To obtain improved parton densities of the proton, we present a new global analysis of deep inelastic and related data including, in particular, the recent measurements of F2 at HERA, of the asymmetry of the rapidity distributions of W production at the FNAL pp̄ collider and of the asymmetry in Drell-Yan production in pp and pn collisions. We also incorporate data to determine the flavour depend...

This is an account of a novel approach to leadership development in the UK’s Creative & Cultural Industries. The Leadership Facilitation Skills programme [LFS] helps people to develop their skills in leadership through the unusual route of learning to facilitate action learning sets. The LFS is based on a Facilitative Leadership model that is proposed as well suited to organisations operating i...

The reaction between an uncharged Li2FeSiO4 (LFS) cathode and a LiPF6-EC/DMC electrolyte is revealed by in situ XANES in coin cells. This study shows clear evidence of delithiation and iron oxidation in LFS prior to cycling. Subsequent cycling appears to partially restore the original lithiation level, an observation that needs to be taken into consideration in future LFS development work.

The Chinese species of the silphaeformis group of the genus Tachinus Gravenhorst are revised with fifteen species being treated. Thirteen of them are described as new: T. armatus Feng & Li, sp. n. (Sichuan), T. cavazzutii Feng, Li & Schülke, sp. n. (Sichuan), T. coronatus Feng, Li & Schülke, sp. n. (Ningxia, Qinghai), T. hercules Feng, Li & Schülke, sp. n. (Sichuan), T. hujiayaoi Feng, Li & Sch...

this study is about complexes of li doped silicon carbide nanotube with thymine and cytosine ingas phase and aqueous solutions. li doped silicon carbide nanotube and its pyrimidine nucleobasecompounds were first modeled by quantum mechanical calculations in gas phase and in water.calculated binding energies indicated the stronger ability of thymine to functionalize silicon carbidenanotube than ...
