The remaining oil distributed in the whole reservoir is calculated according to the characteristics of the space distribution of the saturation of remaining oil. Logging data are required to accomplish this. However, many such projects cannot be completed. Since the old study of remaining oil distribution could not be quantified efficiently, the ＂dynamic two-step method＂ is presented. Firstly, the water cut of every flow unit in one well at one time is calculated according to the comprehensive water cut of a single well at one time. Secondly, the remaining oil saturation of the flow unit of the well at one time is calculated based on the water cut of the flow unit at a given time. The results show that ＂dynamic two-step method＂ has characteristics of simplicity and convenience, and is especially suitable for the study of remaining oil distribution at high water-cut stage. The distribution of remaining oil presented banding and potato form, remaining oil was relatively concentrated in faultage neighborhood and imperfect well netting position, and the net thickness of the place was great. This proposal can provide an effective way to forecast remaining oil distribution and enhance oil recovery, especially applied at the high water-cut stage.展开更多

A ZnO seed layer is first prepared on a glass substrate by thermal decomposition of zinc acetate. Ag-doped ZnO nanorods are then assembled on the ZnO seed layer using the hydrothermal method. The influences of the molar percentage of Ag ions to Zn ions （RAg/zn） on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanorods obtained are carefully studied using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometry. Results indicate that Ag ions enter into the crystal lattice through the substitution of Zn ions. The （002） c-axis-preferred orientation of the ZnO nanorods decreases as RAg/Zn increases. At RAg/Zn 〉 1.0%, ZnO nanorods lose their c-axis-preferred orientation and generate Ag precipitates from the ZnO crystal lattice. The average transmissivity in the visible region first increases and then decreases as RAg/Zn increases. The absorption edge is first blue shifted and then red shifted. The influence of Ag doping on the average head face, and axial dimensions of the ZnO nanorods may be optimized to improve the average transmissivity at RAg/Zn 〈 1.0%.展开更多

文摘Under the assumption that the nonlinear operator has Lipschitz continuous divided differences for the first order,we obtain an estimate of the radius of the convergence ball for the two-step secant method.Moreover,we also provide an error estimate that matches the convergence order of the two-step secant method.At last,we give an application of the proposed theorem.
文摘In this paper, a block method with one hybrid point for solving Jerk equations is presented. The hybrid point is chosen to optimize the local truncation errors of the main formulas for the solution and the derivative at the end of the block. Analysis of the method is discussed, and some numerical examples show that the proposed method is efficient and accurate.

文摘Tin(Sn)-lead(Pb)mixed halide perovskites have attracted widespread interest due to their wider re-sponse wavelength and lower toxicity than lead halide perovskites,Among the preparation methods,the two-step method more easily controls the crystallization rate and is suitable for preparing large-area per-ovskite devices.However,the residual low-conductivity iodide layer in the two-step method can affect carrier transport and device stability,and the different crystallization rates of Sn-and Pb-based per-ovskites may result in poor film quality.Therefore,Sn-Pb mixed perovskites are mainly prepared by a one-step method.Herein,a MAPb_(0.5)Sn_(0.5)I_(3)-based self-powered photodetector without a hole transport layer is fabricated by a two-step method.By adjusting the concentration of the ascorbic acid(AA)addi-tive,the final perovskite film exhibited a pure phase without residues,and the optimal device exhibited a high responsivity(0.276 A W^(-1)),large specific detectivity(2.38×10^(12) Jones),and enhanced stability.This enhancement is mainly attributed to the inhibition of Sn2+oxidation,the control of crystal growth,and the sufficient reaction between organic ammonium salts and bottom halides due to the AA-induced pore structure.
文摘Two step regulating acupuncture therapy was employed in the treatment of 96patients with intractable facial paralysis and the therapeutic effects of the method is compared withthat in 40 patients in control.In the first step,strong regulating acupuncture was applied at Meixin(EXtra),upper Taiyang (EX-HN 5) and Xiaguan (ST 7) points in the affected face.In the secondstep,weak regulating acupuncture was used at Dicang (ST 4) and Sibai (ST 2) points in the healthface.It was revealed that among the 96 patients,37 cases (38. 5%) were cured,57 cases (59. 4%)markedly improved,2 cases (2.1%) improved with a total effective rate of 100%.The effective ratewas statistically different (P【0. 005) from that in the control.The results indicate that the method issuperior to the ordinary manipulation in treating intractable facial paralysis.

文摘In this work,a two-step zircon method to produce zirconium oxychloride was introduced,and the alkali fusion technique with NaOH and water leaching process were investigated.The effects of the operating conditions on the decomposition of zircon were determined,and the optimal conditions are as follows:alkali/zircon mass ratio of 0.7 at the first step and 0.6 at the second step(0.7+0.6),fusion temperature of 700℃and fusion time of 0.5 h at the first step and 0.5 h at the second step(0.5+0.5 h).Under these conditions,the decomposition alloy of zircon sand can reach 97.25%.In the fusion process of zircon sand,the products of first step are mainly Na2ZrO3 and ZrSiO4,the products of second step are Na2ZrO3 and Na2SiO3,and the diffraction peaks of Na2ZrSiO5 are not observed.The conditions of water leaching process were investigated as well,and the optimal conditions are as follows:liquid-solid ratio of 5:1,leaching time of 0.5 h,leaching temperature of 50℃and leaching three times.Under these conditions,the contents of leaching products SiO2 and Na2O are 3.51%(40%ZrO2)and 4.46%(40%ZrO2),respectively.The crystal phase structures of Na2ZrO3 and Na2SiO3 are formed in water leaching process.

文摘A two-step information extraction method is presented to capture the specific index-related information more accurately.In the first step,the overall process variables are separated into two sets based on Pearson correlation coefficient.One is process variables strongly related to the specific index and the other is process variables weakly related to the specific index.Through performing principal component analysis(PCA)on the two sets,the directions of latent variables have changed.In other words,the correlation between latent variables in the set with strong correlation and the specific index may become weaker.Meanwhile,the correlation between latent variables in the set with weak correlation and the specific index may be enhanced.In the second step,the two sets are further divided into a subset strongly related to the specific index and a subset weakly related to the specific index from the perspective of latent variables using Pearson correlation coefficient,respectively.Two subsets strongly related to the specific index form a new subspace related to the specific index.Then,a hybrid monitoring strategy based on predicted specific index using partial least squares(PLS)and T2statistics-based method is proposed for specific index-related process monitoring using comprehensive information.Predicted specific index reflects real-time information for the specific index.T2statistics are used to monitor specific index-related information.Finally,the proposed method is applied to Tennessee Eastman(TE).The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘A two-step method is adopted to synthesize Ag-doped ZnO nanorods. A ZnO seed layer is first prepared on a glass substrate by thermal decomposition of zinc acetate. Ag-doped ZnO nanorods are then assembled on the ZnO seed layer using the hydrothermal method. The influences of the molar percentage of Ag ions to Zn ions （RAg/zn） on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanorods obtained are carefully studied using X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometry. Results indicate that Ag ions enter into the crystal lattice through the substitution of Zn ions. The （002） c-axis-preferred orientation of the ZnO nanorods decreases as RAg/Zn increases. At RAg/Zn 〉 1.0%, ZnO nanorods lose their c-axis-preferred orientation and generate Ag precipitates from the ZnO crystal lattice. The average transmissivity in the visible region first increases and then decreases as RAg/Zn increases. The absorption edge is first blue shifted and then red shifted. The influence of Ag doping on the average head face, and axial dimensions of the ZnO nanorods may be optimized to improve the average transmissivity at RAg/Zn 〈 1.0%.
