High-performance solid-state proton gating membranes based on two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded organic framework composites by Dandan Lei, Yixiang Wang, Qixiang Zhang, Shuqi Wang, Lei Jiang, Zhen Zhang

“…Here, we demonstrate solid-state hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks-based membranes to achieve high-performance ambient humidity-controlled proton gating, accomplished by switching the proton transport pathway instead of relying on conventional ion blockage/activation effects. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the reversible formation and disruption of humidity-induced water bridges within the frameworks facilitates the switching of proton transport mode from the adsorption site hopping to the Grotthuss mechanism. …”

Curvature Determination Method for Diverging Acoustic Lens of Underwater Acoustic Transducer by Minze Li, Mingzhen Xin, Fanlin Yang, Yu Luo, Jinpeng Liu, Niuniu Wu

“…To increase the detection range of an underwater acoustic transducer in a specific marine environment, a curvature-determining method for the diverging acoustic lens of an underwater acoustic transducer is proposed based on the acoustic ray tracing theory. The relationship equation between the original directivity indicators of the underwater acoustic transducer and the emergence angle in the specific environment is constructed, and the slope of the acoustic lens at different positions of the underwater acoustic transducer is obtained by a progressive solution. …”

Die Aufnahme bestätigt die Regel. Analyse als Interpretation (Response) by Julian Caskel

“…Die durchgängig hohe Qualität der Beiträge, deren konkrete Ergebnisse an drei spezifische zyklische Werke gebunden bleiben, rückt stattdessen die Frage nach den grundsätzlichen Voraussetzungen der hier vorgestellten Forschungen ins Zentrum: (1) Die methodischen Implikationen von Zeitpunktmessungen könnten noch genauer reflektiert werden (die Diskussion der empirischen Messungen erfolgt vor allem anhand der Beiträge zu Bachs ›Goldberg-Variationen‹). (2) Normative Voreinstellungen bei der Selektion von Aufnahmen oder Textreferenzen sollten explizit mitdiskutiert werden (die Diskussion der hermeneutischen Meinungsbildung erfolgt vor allem anhand der Beiträge zu Beethovens ›Diabelli-Variationen‹). (3) Die gemeinsamen oder getrennten Zugangswege von Theorie und Praxis werden nochmals zur Debatte gestellt (nun stärker anhand der Beiträge zu Schuberts Winterreise). (4) Als Ausblick werden Möglichkeiten zur Weiterverwertung der Daten in einem eigenen Analysebeispiel anhand von Aufnahmen des Pianisten Igor Levit vorgeführt. …”
