炭黑对三元乙丙橡胶、乙烯辛烯共聚物共混胶动态性能影响研究 by 董成磊, 孙维胜, 丁志超, 张亚丽, 黄兆阁

“…The effect of five kinds of different structure of N220,N330,N550,N660 and N774 carbon black on the dynamic mechanical properties of EPDM/POE on the terms of the same amount of 60phr and the effect of different amounts of N330 carbon black on the dynamic mechanical properties of the EPDM/POE compounds and vulcanizates are researched.The research showed the storage modulus of the EPDM/POE compounds and vulcanizates increased with frequency increasing while the loss factor decrease with frequency increasing.Black gross rubber with higher structure degree and smaller particle size had a greater storage modulus and loss factor in the same frequency.The storage modulus of the EPDM/POE compounds and vulcanizates increased with amount of carbon black increasing.When the strain was less than 20%,the loss factor did not change significantly with the strain variation;When the strain was greater than 20%,the loss factor increased rapidly with the strain increase.…”

The (in)dependence of alternative splicing and gene duplication. by David Talavera, Christine Vogel, Modesto Orozco, Sarah A Teichmann, Xavier de la Cruz

“…In contrast, the two processes appear to be independent in their influence on variation in mRNA expression. Further, we conducted a detailed comparison of the effect of sequence changes in both alternative splice variants and gene duplicates on protein structure, in particular the size, location, and types of sequence substitutions and insertions/deletions. …”
