Love wave propagation in functionally graded piezoelectric material layer.

An exact approach is used to investigate Love waves in functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) layer bonded to a semi-infinite homogeneous solid. The piezoelectric material is polarized in z-axis direction and the material properties change gradually with the thickness of the layer. We here assume that all material properties of the piezoelectric layer have the same exponential function distribution along the x-axis direction. The analytical solutions of dispersion relations are obtained for electrically open or short circuit conditions. The effects of the gradient variation of material constants on the phase velocity, the group velocity, and the coupled electromechanical factor are discussed in detail. The displacement, electric potential, and stress distributions along thickness of the graded layer are calculated and plotted. Numerical examples indicate that appropriate gradient distributing of the material properties make Love waves to propagate along the surface of the piezoelectric layer, or a bigger electromechanical coupling factor can be obtained, which is in favor of acquiring a better performance in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.

Surface modification for DNA and protein microarrays.

Microarrays of biomolecules are emerging as powerful tools for genomics, proteomics, and clinical assays, since they make it possible to screen biologically important binding events in a parallel and high throughput fashion. Because the microarrays are fabricated on a solid support, coating of the surface and immobilization strategy of the biomolecules are major issues for successful microarray fabrication. This review deals with both DNA microarrays and protein microarrays, and focuses on the various modification approaches for the two-dimensional surface materials and three-dimensional ones. In addition, the immobilization strategies including adsorption, covalent attachment, physical entrapment, and affinity attachment of the biomolecules are summarized, and advantage and limitation of representative efforts are discussed.

Removal of batteries from solid waste using trommel separation.

This paper describes the design and testing of a trommel for separation of batteries from solid waste. A trommel is a cylindrical separation device that rotates and performs size separation. It has also been used in areas such as municipal solid waste (MSW) processing, classifying construction and demolition debris, screening mass-burn incinerator ash and compost processing. A trommel has been designed based on size separation to separate household batteries from solid waste, which can then be used as feedstock for alternative applications of solid waste combustion, particularly where the metal content of the product is also a critical parameter, such as the Co-Co process for integrated cement and power production. This trommel has been tested with batches of university office and restaurant wastes against various factors. The recovery efficiency of batteries increases with decreasing inclination angle of the trommel and decreasing rotational speed. A physical characterization of the university solid waste has been performed with a 20-kg sample of the tested waste. It was found that there is a trend of decreasing recovery of batteries with increasing paper composition, and a trend of increasing recovery of batteries with increasing organic materials composition.
