ZFNPs were prepared by a co-precipitation process and then characterized with transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray fluorescence （XRF）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and BET surface area. Using such ZFNPs as catalyst, the degradation of BTA was investigated. Due to the high catalytic activity of ZFNPs, PE-Fenton like process showed efficient degradation of BTA. The influencing factors such as pH, dosage of ZFNPs, applied potential and initial concentration of BTA were systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions, 91.2% of BTA was removed after 180 rain treatment.展开更多

The results showed that the resin/graphite composite exhibited much better mechanical and tribological properties compared with the unimpregnated graphite. The friction coefficient was reduced by addition of furan resin, which could also prevent the'dusting' wear at loads more than 15 MPa. The steady and lubricated transfer film was easily formed on the counterpart surface due to the interaction of furan resin and wear debris of graphite, which was useful to reduce the wear rate of the resin/graphite composite. The composite is highly promising for mechanical sealing application and can be used at high load for long time sliding.展开更多

Artificial rapid infiltration systems have been widely used in sewage treatment, which have great environmental and economic values. This study investigated the potential of utilizing artificial rapid infiltration systems on the reduction of urban non-point source pollution. The obtained results showed that the components and composition of artificial soils were vital to the operational performance. The mixture of natural soil, coarse sand and zeolite was ideal for the construction of artificial soils. The permeability coefficient of soils could be improved to 0.166 cm/min at the optimized ratio of 1:1:0.05 (natural soil, coarse sand and zeolite). Also, high removal efficiency for the typical pollutants in rain runoffs (i.e. COD, NH4+-N, TN and TP) could be simultaneous obtained which was above 74% in the artificial rapid infiltration systems. The results demonstrated the effectiveness on the reduction of urban non-point pollution by optimized artificial rapid infiltration system.展开更多

Flipp solutions and nonsmooh analysis tehniques are adopted to handle discontinuities. Suficient and ncessaryconditions are provided to guarantee infinte time convergence and boundedness of the solutions. It turns out that the numberof agents which have cotinuous contol law plays an ssenan role in fnite-tine conerence In adidio it is shown thatthe unit bals itoduced bylp, norms. where p ∈[1,∞] , are inariat for the closed lop.
文摘The non-point source pollution posed great risks to the urban water environment which has aroused great concerns. Artificial rapid infiltration systems have been widely used in sewage treatment, which have great environmental and economic values. This study investigated the potential of utilizing artificial rapid infiltration systems on the reduction of urban non-point source pollution. The obtained results showed that the components and composition of artificial soils were vital to the operational performance. The mixture of natural soil, coarse sand and zeolite was ideal for the construction of artificial soils. The permeability coefficient of soils could be improved to 0.166 cm/min at the optimized ratio of 1:1:0.05 (natural soil, coarse sand and zeolite). Also, high removal efficiency for the typical pollutants in rain runoffs (i.e. COD, NH4+-N, TN and TP) could be simultaneous obtained which was above 74% in the artificial rapid infiltration systems. The results demonstrated the effectiveness on the reduction of urban non-point pollution by optimized artificial rapid infiltration system.

文摘Most existing 2-dimensional barcodes are designed with a fixed shape and clear area.Having a fixed shape and clear area makes the barcode difficult to lay out with other text and pictures.To solve this problem,an amorphous 2-dimensional barcode is presented in this paper.The barcode uses encoding graph units to encode data.There are two key points in a 2-dimensional barcode:One is the encoding graph unit,the other is its encoding rules.Because encoding graph units of a 2-dimensional barcode are surrounded by other graphics,the units should be self-positioned and distinguished from other units.This paper presents an encoding graph unit generation algorithm,which is based on genetic algorithms.Encoding rules of the barcode are also given in this paper.Those rules include data encoding rules and encoding graph unit sequence arrangement rules.Data encoding rules are used to encode data to an encoding graph unit sequence.Encoding graph unit sequence arrangement rules are used to embed the unit sequence in the target picture.In addition to those rules,it also discussed the steps to restore encoding graph unit sequence from a picture.In the experiments section of this paper,an example is provided to encode a string and embed it in a car ad picture by the barcode.According to encoding rules of the barcode,those encoding graphic units can be scattered and embedded in a picture with other graphics,so amorphous 2-dimensional barcode has no fixed shape.Take advantage of this,designer can present a more elegant design to lay out barcodes with other graphic elements.

文摘Fish behavior refers to various movements of fish. Fish behavior is closely related to the ecology of fish, physiological changes of fish, aquaculture and so on. Related applications will be expanded if fish behavior is analyzed properly. Traditional analysis of fish behavior mainly relies on the observation of human eyes. With the deepening and extension of application and the rapid development of computer technology, computer vision technology is increasingly used to analyze fish behaviors. This paper summarized the research status, research progress and main problems of fish behavior analysis by using computer vision and made forecast about future research.
文摘Salient detection approaches mainly use single local cues or global cues as its inputs features to detect salient objects,which are sensitive to complex background,so the effect of detection were not satisfactory.In this paper,we investigate the traits of saliency detection and observed the two following facts:Firstly,high-level saliency cues achieve better saliency detection results than low-level saliency cues.Secondly,multi-difference cues achieve better saliency detection results than single difference cues.Based on deeply analysis,we proposed an image saliency detection algorithm through high level multi-difference cues(HMDS).By using multi-difference,not only HMDS could remove the non-salient region effectively,but also it could enhance the pixel value of salient region at the same time.In order to evaluate the performance of HMDS,the proposed method is compared with seven state-of-the-art algorithms on five popular datasets.The final experimental results show that the proposed method performs effectiveness,and will have a perfect application prospect.
