► Quenchings of BSA fluorescence by the flavonoids were all static quenchings. ► Synchronous fluorescence was applied to study the structural change of BSA. ► Binding constant, binding site and binding force were determined. ► The competition binding experiments were performed. ► One flavonoid had an obvious effect on the binding of another one to BSA.
► The effects of irradiation and creep on the microstructure of a MA957 alloy were investigated by APT ► Conditions were neutron irradiation to a dose of 3 dpa at 600 °C and creep for 38,555 h at 800 °C ► No significant changes were observed in the size distribution or number density of the nanoclusters ► Results ► indicate that the NFA microstructures have a remarkable tolerance to extreme conditions
► Ion irradiation of nanostructured ferritic alloy at cryogenic temperature performed ► Irradiation is seen to dissolve or broaden second-phase particles ► Analytical electron microscopy is used to evaluate this mixing ► Magnitude of mixing at interphase interfaces is compared to theory
► The impact of finite dimensions on the response of stiffened panels is studied. ► A windowed periodic model is compared with a Rayleigh–Ritz modal-based model. ► The effects of finite dimensions become small at mid and high frequencies. ► The models agree well with finite elements simulations and experimental data.
