During a tidal cycle, the average contents of heavy metals are in the order of Zn〉Ni〉Pb〉Co〉〉Cd. The average contents in ebb tide are generally higher than that in flood tide. However, at the inshore Sta. 11, influenced by the contamination from the nearby waste treatment plant, the average contents of Zn and Ni in flood tide are higher than those in ebb fide and at the offshore Sta. 10, the content of Cd in flood tide higher than that in ebb tide due to marine-derived materials. The five heavy metals, mainly terrigenous, are transported towards east-northeast, and settle down with suspended matters in the area between Sta. 11 and Sta. 10. Influenced by marine-derived materials, the flux value of Cd does not alter significantly with obviously changing in flux direction towards northwest. The source of heavy metals, the salinity of water and the concentration of suspended matters are the main factors controlling the content distributions of heavy metals during a tidal cycle. There is a positive correlation between the contents of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Co and Ni) and the salinity of water, while the opposite correlation between the contents and the concentrations of suspended matters. Because of marine-derived materials, the content of Cd is not correlated with the concentration of suspended matters and the salinity of water.展开更多

However, the application of these advances in quantum technology requires a reliable and universally applicable method for enhancing and regulating entanglement. Here we demonstrate how a few-cycle intense laser field can significantly enhance the degree of entanglement compared to its multi-cycle counterpart, using the example of electron–electron entanglement of orbital angular momentum(OAM) states in recollision-excitation non-sequential double ionization of Ar atoms. By confining the ionization dynamics to a specific narrow time window, the few-cycle pulse purifies the electron trajectories, thereby ensuring high coherence between entangled OAM channels and enhancing entanglement. Furthermore, the degree of entanglement can be efficiently modulated by varying the carrier envelope phase of the few-cycle laser pulse, which is achieved by altering the population across OAM channels. Optimizing coherence through electron trajectory purification with a designed specific temporal waveform of laser field provides a general pathway for enhancing entanglement in laser-induced systems.展开更多

Let ci be the number of edges colored by i. If [ci - cj] ≤1 for any two colors i and j, then c is an equitable edge coloring of G. The coloring c is an equitable adjacent strong edge coloring of G if it is both adjacent strong edge coloring and equitable edge coloring. The least number of colors of such a coloring c is called the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of G. In this paper, we determine the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of the joins of paths and cycles. Precisely, we show that the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of the joins of paths and cycles is equal to the maximum degree plus one or two.展开更多

The dynamic responses of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) airfoil coupled with an NES are studied with the harmonic balance method. Different structure parameters of the NES, i.e., mass ratio between the NES and airfoil, NES offset, NES damping, and nonlinear stiffness in the NES, are chosen for studying the effect of the LCO suppression on an aeroelastic system with a supercritical Hopf bifurcation or subcritical Hopf bifurcation, respectively. The results show that the structural parameters of the NES have different influence on the supercritical Hopf bifurcation system and the subcritical Hopf bifurcation system.展开更多

The maximum cycle packing problem in G then is to find a collection of edge-disjoint cycles C<sub>i</sup>in G such that s is maximum. In general, the maximum cycle packing problem is NP-hard. In this paper, it is shown for even graphs that if such a collection satisfies the condition that it minimizes the quantityon the set of all edge-disjoint cycle collections, then it is a maximum cycle packing. The paper shows that the determination of such a packing can be solved by a dynamic programming approach. For its solution, an-shortest path procedure on an appropriate acyclic networkis presented. It uses a particular monotonous node potential.展开更多

The performance of a CCPP is highly sensitive to ambient air temperature (AAT) and the generated power varies widely during the year with temperature fluctuations. To have an accurate estimation of power generation, it is necessary to develop a model to predict the average monthly power of a CCPP considering ambient temperature changes. In the present work, the Monte Carlo (MC) method was used to obtain the average generated power of a CCPP. The case study was a combined-cycle power plant in Tehran, Iran. The region’s existing meteorological data shows significant fluctuations in the annual ambient temperature, which severely impact the performance of the mentioned plant, causing a stochastic behavior of the output power. To cope with this stochastic nature, the probability distribution of monthly outdoor temperature for 2020 was determined using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method to specify the range of feasible inputs. Furthermore, the plant was accurately simulated in THERMOFLEX to capture the generated power at different temperatures. The MC method was used to couple the ambient temperature fluctuations to the output power of the plant, modeled by THERMOFLEX. Finally, the mean value of net power for each month and the average output power of the system were obtained. The results indicated that each unit of the system generates 436.3 MW in full load operation. The average deviation of the modeling results from the actual data provided by the power plant was an estimated 3.02%. Thus, it can be concluded that this method helps achieve an estimation of the monthly and annual power of a combined-cycle power plant, which are effective indexes in the economic analysis of the system.展开更多

A k-cycle packing of Kn is a triple (X, C, L), where C is a collection of edge disjoint k-cycles of Kn and L is the collection of edges of Kn not belonging to any of the k-cycles in C. A k-cycle packing (X, C, L) is called resolvable if C can be partitioned into almost parallel classes. A resolvable maximum k-cycle packing of Kn, denoted by k-RMCP(n), is a resolvable k-cycle packing of Kn, (X, C, L), in which the number of almost parallel classes is as large as possible. Let D(n, k) denote the number of almost parallel classes in a k-RMCP(n). D(n, k) for k = 3, 4 has been decided. When n ≡ k (mod 2k) and k ≡1 (mod 2) or n ≡1 (mod 2k) and k e {6, 8, 10, 14} U{m: 5 ≤ m ≤ 49, m ≡1 (mod 2)}, D(n,k) also has been decided with few possible exceptions. In this paper, we shall decide D(n, 5) for all values of n ≥ 5.展开更多

However, the application of these advances in quantum technology requires a reliable and universally applicable method for enhancing and regulating entanglement. Here we demonstrate how a few-cycle intense laser field can significantly enhance the degree of entanglement compared to its multi-cycle counterpart, using the example of electron–electron entanglement of orbital angular momentum(OAM) states in recollision-excitation non-sequential double ionization of Ar atoms. By confining the ionization dynamics to a specific narrow time window, the few-cycle pulse purifies the electron trajectories, thereby ensuring high coherence between entangled OAM channels and enhancing entanglement. Furthermore, the degree of entanglement can be efficiently modulated by varying the carrier envelope phase of the few-cycle laser pulse, which is achieved by altering the population across OAM channels. Optimizing coherence through electron trajectory purification with a designed specific temporal waveform of laser field provides a general pathway for enhancing entanglement in laser-induced systems.

文摘For a proper edge coloring c of a graph G, if the sets of colors of adjacent vertices are distinct, the edge coloring c is called an adjacent strong edge coloring of G. Let ci be the number of edges colored by i. If [ci - cj] ≤1 for any two colors i and j, then c is an equitable edge coloring of G. The coloring c is an equitable adjacent strong edge coloring of G if it is both adjacent strong edge coloring and equitable edge coloring. The least number of colors of such a coloring c is called the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of G. In this paper, we determine the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of the joins of paths and cycles. Precisely, we show that the equitable adjacent strong chromatic index of the joins of paths and cycles is equal to the maximum degree plus one or two.

文摘This paper presents a novel mechanical attachment, i.e., nonlinear energy sink (NES), for suppressing the limit cycle oscillation (LCO) of an airfoil. The dynamic responses of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) airfoil coupled with an NES are studied with the harmonic balance method. Different structure parameters of the NES, i.e., mass ratio between the NES and airfoil, NES offset, NES damping, and nonlinear stiffness in the NES, are chosen for studying the effect of the LCO suppression on an aeroelastic system with a supercritical Hopf bifurcation or subcritical Hopf bifurcation, respectively. The results show that the structural parameters of the NES have different influence on the supercritical Hopf bifurcation system and the subcritical Hopf bifurcation system.
文摘In this paper we give a Dirac type condition for heavy cycles in a 3-connected weighted graph, reading that if d^w(v)≥ d for all v ∈ V(G)/{x} and w(uz) = w(vz), when uz, vz ∈ E(G) and uv ∈/ E(G). Then G contains either an (x, y)-cycle of weight at least 2d or a Hamilton cycle.
文摘Let be an undirected graph. The maximum cycle packing problem in G then is to find a collection of edge-disjoint cycles C<sub>i</sup>in G such that s is maximum. In general, the maximum cycle packing problem is NP-hard. In this paper, it is shown for even graphs that if such a collection satisfies the condition that it minimizes the quantityon the set of all edge-disjoint cycle collections, then it is a maximum cycle packing. The paper shows that the determination of such a packing can be solved by a dynamic programming approach. For its solution, an-shortest path procedure on an appropriate acyclic networkis presented. It uses a particular monotonous node potential.
文摘The Total Coloring Conjecture (TCC) proposes that every simple graph G is (Δ + 2)-totally-colorable, where Δ is the maximum degree of G. For planar graph, TCC is open only in case Δ = 6. In this paper, we prove that TCC holds for planar graph with Δ = 6 and every 7-cycle contains at most two chords.
文摘A cycle C of a graph G is a m-distance-dominating cycle if for all vertices of . Defining denotes the minimum value of the degree sum of any k independent vertices of G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a 3-connected graph on n vertices, and if , then every longest cycle is m-distance-dominating cycles.
文摘A combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) is broadly utilized in many countries to cover energy demand due to its higher efficiency than other conventional power plants. The performance of a CCPP is highly sensitive to ambient air temperature (AAT) and the generated power varies widely during the year with temperature fluctuations. To have an accurate estimation of power generation, it is necessary to develop a model to predict the average monthly power of a CCPP considering ambient temperature changes. In the present work, the Monte Carlo (MC) method was used to obtain the average generated power of a CCPP. The case study was a combined-cycle power plant in Tehran, Iran. The region’s existing meteorological data shows significant fluctuations in the annual ambient temperature, which severely impact the performance of the mentioned plant, causing a stochastic behavior of the output power. To cope with this stochastic nature, the probability distribution of monthly outdoor temperature for 2020 was determined using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method to specify the range of feasible inputs. Furthermore, the plant was accurately simulated in THERMOFLEX to capture the generated power at different temperatures. The MC method was used to couple the ambient temperature fluctuations to the output power of the plant, modeled by THERMOFLEX. Finally, the mean value of net power for each month and the average output power of the system were obtained. The results indicated that each unit of the system generates 436.3 MW in full load operation. The average deviation of the modeling results from the actual data provided by the power plant was an estimated 3.02%. Thus, it can be concluded that this method helps achieve an estimation of the monthly and annual power of a combined-cycle power plant, which are effective indexes in the economic analysis of the system.
文摘Let X be the vertex set of Kn. A k-cycle packing of Kn is a triple (X, C, L), where C is a collection of edge disjoint k-cycles of Kn and L is the collection of edges of Kn not belonging to any of the k-cycles in C. A k-cycle packing (X, C, L) is called resolvable if C can be partitioned into almost parallel classes. A resolvable maximum k-cycle packing of Kn, denoted by k-RMCP(n), is a resolvable k-cycle packing of Kn, (X, C, L), in which the number of almost parallel classes is as large as possible. Let D(n, k) denote the number of almost parallel classes in a k-RMCP(n). D(n, k) for k = 3, 4 has been decided. When n ≡ k (mod 2k) and k ≡1 (mod 2) or n ≡1 (mod 2k) and k e {6, 8, 10, 14} U{m: 5 ≤ m ≤ 49, m ≡1 (mod 2)}, D(n,k) also has been decided with few possible exceptions. In this paper, we shall decide D(n, 5) for all values of n ≥ 5.
