It is shown that the maximum value of the spin parameter jmax of a neutron star rotating at the Keplerian frequency fK is .jmax - 0.7 when the star mass M 〉 0.SM⊙, which is sustained for various versions of equations of state without and with hyperons. The relationship between j and the scaled rotation frequency f /fK is found to be insensitive to the star mass or the adopted equation of state in the models without hyperons. However, the emergence of byperons in neutron stars will lead to an uncertainty of the spin parameter j, which in turn could generate a complexity in the theoretical study of the quasi-periodic oscillations observed in disk-accreting compact-star systems.展开更多

The results indicate that the resonance ground states may be derived from the Kramers doublet Γ6. The EPR g-factors may be ascribed to the stronger covalent bonding and nephelauxetic effects compared with other rare-earth doped complexes, as a result of the mismatch of ionic radii of the impurity Er(3+)ion and the replaced Ga(3+) ion apart from the intrinsic covalency of host Ga N. Furthermore, the J–J mixing effects on the EPR parameters from the high-lying manifolds have been evaluated. It is found that the dominant J–J mixing contribution is from the manifold 2K(15/2), which accounts for about 2.5%. The next important J–J contribution arises from the crystal–field mixture between the ground state 4I(15/2) and the first excited state4I(13/2), and is usually less than 0.2%. The contributions from the rest states may be ignored.展开更多

The common practice is gr it-blasting of the surface before subjecting it to the spray coating process. In this study, grit-blasting of an AISI 4130 steel (of different heat treatmen ts) with Al 2O 3 particles was studied. Various grit-blasting parameters such as blasting particle size, the distance between blasting nozzle and the work pi ece (25, 30 and 40 cm.), blasting pressure (3,4,5,6 and 7 bars), blasting time ( 3, 6 and 10 seconds), and the blasting angle (45° and 90°) were examined in or der to find the optimum roughness. The mean roughness (Ra) of the grit-blasted surfaces were measured and the vari ations of the roughness with respect to the above mentioned variables were studi ed. The results show that by increasing blasting time, surface roughness increas es up to a maximum and then slightly decreases it with further duration of t he process. On the other hand a lengthy blasting causes some undesirable results such as an increase in residual particles between surface irregularities. There fore an optimum blasting time is of great importance. Increasing the blasting pr essure also provides a rougher surface, but in grit blasting of harder specimens the surface roughness decreases when the pressure reaches a certain limit. About the blasting angle, it was noticed that an angle of 45° results in less r esidual particles between the surface irregularities, in comparison to the angle of 90°. After grit-blasting, the specimens were plasma spray coated with 80% ZrO 2-20 % Y 2O 3 powder. The adhesive strength of the coating to the substrate was the n measured according to the DIN 50160 standard. The results show that for a certain base metal, the adhesive strength is directl y related to the surface roughness of the base material. Residual particles afte r grit-blasting the surface of the specimens can also have a strong deteriorati ng effect on adhesive strength. Finally, it was shown that the hardness of the b ase material had a direct effect on the adhesive strength of the sprayed coating s.展开更多

Female Wistar rats were fed control or cafeteria food, which were either supplemented or not supplemented with linseed oil (5%) for I month before and during gestation. At parturition, serum and tissue lipids and enzyme activities were analyzed. Cafeteria diet induced adverse metabolic alterations in both mothers and offspring. Linseed oil improved metabolic status. In conclusion, linseed oil displayed health benefits by modulating tissue enzyme activities in both obese mothers and their newborns.展开更多

The dynamic characteristics of the bridge are analyzed using a subspace iteration method. Based on recorded wind data, the measured spectra expression is presented using the nonlinear least-squares regression method. Turbulent winds at the bridge site are simulated based on the spectral representation method and the FFT technique. The influence of some key structural parameters and measures on the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are investigated. These parameters include dead load intensity, as well as vertical, lateral and torsional stiffness of the steel box girder. In addition, the influence of elastic stiffness of the connection device employed between the towers and the girder on the vibration mode of the steel box girder is investigated. The analysis shows that all of the vertical, lateral and torsional buffeting displacement responses reduce gradually as the dead load intensity increases. The dynamic characteristics and the structural buffeting displacement response of the SCB are only slightly affected by the vertical and torsional stiffness of the steel box girder, and the lateral and torsional buffeting displacement responses reduce gradually as the lateral stiffness increases. These results provide a reference for dynamic analysis and design of super-long-span cable-stayed bridges.展开更多

In accordance with the rock rupture mechanics, principle of energy balance and Castiglano's theorem, the relationship of effective dynamic parameters of elasticity (E, v, G) and cranny density parameters or porosity was put forward. On this basis, through the theory of elastic waves propagation in isotropic medium, the relationship between the elastic wave velocity and cranny density parameters and porosity was set up. The theoretical research results show that, in this kind of cranny rock masses, there is nonlinear relationships between the effective dynamic parameters of elasticity and wave velocities and the cranny density parameter or porosity; and with the increase of cranny density parameter or porosity of cranny rock masses, the effective dynamic modulus and the elastic wave velocities of cranny rock masses will decrease; and at the same time, when the cranny density parameter or porosity is very small, the effective dynamic modulus of elasticity and the elastic wave velocities change with the cranny density parameter, which can explain the sensitivity of effective elastic parameters and elastic wave velocities to cranny rock masses.展开更多

Accordingly, parameter calibration for granular heat transfer with the DEM is studied. The heat transfer in granular assemblies is simulated with DEM, and the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of these granular assemblies is measured with the transient method in simulations. The measurement testbed is designed to test the ETC of the granular assemblies under normal pressure and a vacuum based on the steady method. Central composite design (CCD) is used to simulate the impact of the DEM parameters on the ETC of granular assemblies, and the heat transfer parameters are calibrated and compared with experimental data. The results show that, within the scope of the considered parameters, the ETC of the granular assemblies increases with an increasing particle thermal conductivity and decreases with an increasing particle shear modulus and particle diameter. The particle thermal conductivity has the greatest impact on the ETC of granular assemblies followed by the particle shear modulus and then the particle diameter. The calibration results show good agreement with the experimental results. The error is less than 4%, which is within a reasonable range for the scope of the CCD parameters. The proposed research provides high efficiency and high accuracy parameter calibration for granular heat transfer in DEM.展开更多

Th...The stability question of large-scale horizontal motion in the atmosphere under the effect of Rossby parameter is discussed in this paper by using the qualitative analysis theory of ordinary differential equations. The following aspects are reviewed: The stability of large-scale horizontal motion in the atmosphere accords with the common inertial stability criterion when the effect of Rossby parameter is not considered (Yang, 1983), and that, on the other hand, the motion will bifurcate two times with the variation of absolute vorticity of basic Zephyr flow at the initial position under the effect of Rossby parameter. Furthermore, in the inertial stable region, if the effect of geostrophic deviation at the initial position is considered, the motion will not only bifurcate but also generate a catastrophe.展开更多

ABC has been developed by being inspired foraging and waggle dance behaviors of real bee colonies in 2005. Since its invention in 2005, many ABC models have been proposed in order to solve different optimization problems. In all the models proposed, there are only one scout bee and a constant limit value used as control parameters for the bee population. In this study, the performance of ABC algorithm on the numeric optimization problems was analyzed by using different number of scout bees and limit values. Experimental results show that the results obtained by using more than one scout bee and different limit values, are better than the results of basic ABC. Therefore, the control parameters of the basic ABC should be tuned according to given class of optimization problems. In this paper, we propose reasonable value ranges of control parameters for the basic ABC in order to obtain better results on the numeric optimization problems.展开更多

Based on this...Grooving method can restrain the deformation and destruction of surrounding rock by transferring the maximum stress to deep rock,bringing about the effective control for floor heave in soft rock roadway. Based on this important effect,and to discuss the relationship between cutting parameters and pressurerelief effect,this paper carried out a numerical simulation of grooving along bottom slab and two sides of gateway with finite difference software FLAC^(2D).The results show that the control effect on floor heave in soft rock tunnel can be improved by selecting appropriate cutting parameters.Appropriately increasing the crevice depth in the middle of the floor can improve the stress state of bottom slab by stress transfer. So the floor heave can be more effectively controlled.To lengthen the crevice in the corners of roadway can simultaneously transfer the maximum stresses of bottom slab and two sides to deep rock,and promote the pressure-relief effect.Extending the crevice length and crevice width on both sides within a certain range can decrease the stress concentration in the corners of roadway,and reduce the deformation of two sides.The cutting position beneficial to restrain the floor heave is close to the bottom slab.展开更多

文摘Surface Preparation is very important in adhesive b on ding of spray coatings to the surface of a work piece. The common practice is gr it-blasting of the surface before subjecting it to the spray coating process. In this study, grit-blasting of an AISI 4130 steel (of different heat treatmen ts) with Al 2O 3 particles was studied. Various grit-blasting parameters such as blasting particle size, the distance between blasting nozzle and the work pi ece (25, 30 and 40 cm.), blasting pressure (3,4,5,6 and 7 bars), blasting time ( 3, 6 and 10 seconds), and the blasting angle (45° and 90°) were examined in or der to find the optimum roughness. The mean roughness (Ra) of the grit-blasted surfaces were measured and the vari ations of the roughness with respect to the above mentioned variables were studi ed. The results show that by increasing blasting time, surface roughness increas es up to a maximum and then slightly decreases it with further duration of t he process. On the other hand a lengthy blasting causes some undesirable results such as an increase in residual particles between surface irregularities. There fore an optimum blasting time is of great importance. Increasing the blasting pr essure also provides a rougher surface, but in grit blasting of harder specimens the surface roughness decreases when the pressure reaches a certain limit. About the blasting angle, it was noticed that an angle of 45° results in less r esidual particles between the surface irregularities, in comparison to the angle of 90°. After grit-blasting, the specimens were plasma spray coated with 80% ZrO 2-20 % Y 2O 3 powder. The adhesive strength of the coating to the substrate was the n measured according to the DIN 50160 standard. The results show that for a certain base metal, the adhesive strength is directl y related to the surface roughness of the base material. Residual particles afte r grit-blasting the surface of the specimens can also have a strong deteriorati ng effect on adhesive strength.

文摘Recently,azobenzene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid(ADCA)has been produced gradually for use as an organic synthesis or pharmaceutical intermediate due to its eminent performance.With large quantities put into application in the future,the thermal stability of this substance during storage,transportation,and use will become quite important.Thus,in this work,the thermal decomposition behavior,thermal decomposition kinetics,and thermal hazard of ADCA were investigated.Experiments were conducted by using a SENSYS evo DSC device.A combination of differential iso-conversion method,compensation parameter method,and nonlinear fitting evaluation were also used to analyze thermal kinetics and mechanism of ADCA decomposition.The results show that when conversion rate α increases,the activation energies of ADCA's first and main decomposition peaks fall.The amount of heat released during decomposition varies between 182.46 and 231.16 J·g^(-1).The proposed kinetic equation is based on the Avrami-Erofeev model,which is consistent with the decomposition progress.Applying the Frank-Kamenetskii model,a calculated self-accelerating decomposition temperature of 287.0℃is obtained.

文摘The equivalent medium theory of metamaterials provides a way to obtain their effective constitutive parameters.However,because of its non-reciprocity,the complexity of the electromagnetic coupling,and a metallic bottom layer,it has been challenging to retrieve them from a metamaterial absorber.In this paper,we propose a method without any approximation to obtain them,in which the non-reciprocity and the strong electromagnetic coupling are included.Compared with the three methods such as symmetric metamaterial method,asymmetric metamaterial method and metasurface method,our method can reveal the metamaterial absorber’s electrical and magnetic resonance and show its electromagnetic coupling coefficients.To deal with a metamaterial absorber with a metallic bottom layer,four corners of the metallic bottom layer in the unit cell are removed,making it possible to retrieve the electromagnetic parameters.Surprisingly,these results show that the metamaterial absorber with a metallic bottom layer in our example operates in a negative refraction state at the half absorption frequencies,which helps further understand the absorbing mechanism of these metamaterial absorbers.

文摘Two aspects of a new method,which can be used for seismic zoning,are introduced in this paper.On the one hand,the approach to estimate b value and annual activity rate proposed by Kijko and Sellevoll needs to use the earthquake catalogue.The existing earthquake catalogue contains both historical and recent instrumental data sets and it is inadequate to use only one part.Combining the large number of historical events with recent complete records and taking the magnitude uncertainty into account,Kijko’s method gives the maximum likelihood estimation of b value and annual activity rate,which might be more realistic.On the other hand,this method considers the source zone boundary uncertainty in seismic hazard analysis,which means the earthquake activity rate across a boundary of a source zone changes smoothly instead of abruptly and avoids too large a gradient in the calculated results.
文摘The stability question of large-scale horizontal motion in the atmosphere under the effect of Rossby parameter is discussed in this paper by using the qualitative analysis theory of ordinary differential equations. The following aspects are reviewed: The stability of large-scale horizontal motion in the atmosphere accords with the common inertial stability criterion when the effect of Rossby parameter is not considered (Yang, 1983), and that, on the other hand, the motion will bifurcate two times with the variation of absolute vorticity of basic Zephyr flow at the initial position under the effect of Rossby parameter. Furthermore, in the inertial stable region, if the effect of geostrophic deviation at the initial position is considered, the motion will not only bifurcate but also generate a catastrophe.

文摘Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the popular swarm intelligence algorithms. ABC has been developed by being inspired foraging and waggle dance behaviors of real bee colonies in 2005. Since its invention in 2005, many ABC models have been proposed in order to solve different optimization problems. In all the models proposed, there are only one scout bee and a constant limit value used as control parameters for the bee population. In this study, the performance of ABC algorithm on the numeric optimization problems was analyzed by using different number of scout bees and limit values. Experimental results show that the results obtained by using more than one scout bee and different limit values, are better than the results of basic ABC. Therefore, the control parameters of the basic ABC should be tuned according to given class of optimization problems. In this paper, we propose reasonable value ranges of control parameters for the basic ABC in order to obtain better results on the numeric optimization problems.

文摘This study presents a two-dimensional,transient model to simulate the flow and thermal behavior of CO_(2) within a fracturing wellbore.The model accounts for high-velocity flow within the tubing and radial heat exchange between the wellbore and surrounding formation.It captures the temporal evolution of temperature,pressure,flow velocity,and fluid density,enabling detailed analysis of phase transitions along different tubing sections.The influence of key operational and geological parameters,including wellhead pressure,injection velocity,inlet temperature,and formation temperature gradient,on the wellbore’s thermal and pressure fields is systematically investigated.Results indicate that due to intense convective transport by the high-speed CO_(2) flow,the temperature and velocity within the tubing are primarily governed by the inlet temperature and injection velocity,with relatively minor influence from radial heat transfer with the formation.The pressure,flow velocity,and density of CO_(2) within the tubing are strongly dependent on wellhead conditions.Frictional losses and well depth contribute to pressure variations,particularly in the horizontal section of the wellbore,where a noticeable pressurization effect increases the fluid density.During injection,liquid CO_(2) initially undergoes a rapid transition to a supercritical state,with the depth at which this phase change occurs stabilizing as injection progresses.

文摘Remote sensing cross-modal image-text retrieval(RSCIR)can flexibly and subjectively retrieve remote sensing images utilizing query text,which has received more researchers’attention recently.However,with the increasing volume of visual-language pre-training model parameters,direct transfer learning consumes a substantial amount of computational and storage resources.Moreover,recently proposed parameter-efficient transfer learning methods mainly focus on the reconstruction of channel features,ignoring the spatial features which are vital for modeling key entity relationships.To address these issues,we design an efficient transfer learning framework for RSCIR,which is based on spatial feature efficient reconstruction(SPER).A concise and efficient spatial adapter is introduced to enhance the extraction of spatial relationships.The spatial adapter is able to spatially reconstruct the features in the backbone with few parameters while incorporating the prior information from the channel dimension.We conduct quantitative and qualitative experiments on two different commonly used RSCIR datasets.Compared with traditional methods,our approach achieves an improvement of 3%-11% in sumR metric.Compared with methods finetuning all parameters,our proposed method only trains less than 1% of the parameters,while maintaining an overall performance of about 96%.
文摘Grooving method can restrain the deformation and destruction of surrounding rock by transferring the maximum stress to deep rock,bringing about the effective control for floor heave in soft rock roadway. Based on this important effect,and to discuss the relationship between cutting parameters and pressurerelief effect,this paper carried out a numerical simulation of grooving along bottom slab and two sides of gateway with finite difference software FLAC^(2D).The results show that the control effect on floor heave in soft rock tunnel can be improved by selecting appropriate cutting parameters.Appropriately increasing the crevice depth in the middle of the floor can improve the stress state of bottom slab by stress transfer. So the floor heave can be more effectively controlled.To lengthen the crevice in the corners of roadway can simultaneously transfer the maximum stresses of bottom slab and two sides to deep rock,and promote the pressure-relief effect.Extending the crevice length and crevice width on both sides within a certain range can decrease the stress concentration in the corners of roadway,and reduce the deformation of two sides.The cutting position beneficial to restrain the floor heave is close to the bottom slab.
