Abstract: A low-alloyed magnesium (Mg) alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities at room temperature and a preparation method thereof are provided. The low-alloyed Mg alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities includes the following elements in percentage by mass: 0.5-1.5% of Gadolinium (Gd), 0.5-0.9% of Zinc (Zn), 0.3-0.6% of Zirconium (Zr), and the balance of Mg (Mg). By adding low-content Gd, Zn and Zr elements to a Mg matrix, the low-alloyed Mg alloy not only has effects of solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening and fine-grain strengthening, but also, under the interaction effect of a plurality of elements, promotes the non-basal dislocation slipping of Mg alloy, and stimulates the dislocation damping mechanism, thereby effectively improving the plasticity and damping properties of Mg alloy. The low-alloyed Mg alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities at room temperature has excellent plasticity and damping properties at room temperature.

Abstract: Provided is a method for biosynthesis of a protein heterocatenane. The basic structure of a protein precursor sequence of the protein heterocatenane comprises form an N-terminal to a C-terminal: L1-1-X-L1-2-(in situ enzyme cutting site)-L2-1-X-L2-2, wherein the Xs represent entangled motifs for forming dimers, the two Xs can be the same or different, L1-1/L1-2 and L2-1/L2-2 represent two pairs of cyclization motifs that undergo an orthogonal coupling reaction in cellulo, and the two pairs of cyclization motifs can be two orthogonal peptide-protein reactive pairs, or combinations of peptide-protein reactive pairs and split inteins, or two orthogonal split inteins. When the peptide-protein reactive pair and the split intein are combined for use, biosynthesis of branched protein heterocatenanes can be achieved; and when the two orthogonal split inteins are combined for use, the protein heterocatenane having a completely cyclized main chain can be obtained.

Abstract: Process chamber shields having specially profiled edges exhibit increased lifetime in PVD and CVD deposition chambers. Edge profiling reduces flaking and delamination of materials deposited onto the shields, thereby prolonging shield life, and, consequently, reducing costs associated with deposition. In one embodiment, a shield having an edge portion terminating in a rounded tip, where the tip has high curvature and a small thickness, is provided. In another aspect, a shield having a concave portion connecting with an edge portion, where an upper (inner) surface of the edge portion forms a tangent plane to the upper (inner) concave surface of the concave surface, is provided. In yet another aspect, a shield with a tapered edge portion is provided. Shields, having profiled edges in accordance with these aspects and in accordance with combinations of these aspects, can better support deposited films, particularly films containing compressively stressed materials, such as metal nitrides.
