Experimental results indicatedthat with the number of upsetting extrusion passes increasing, the grains of the alloy are graduallyrefined and the hardness increases correspondingly. After ten passes of upsetting extrusionprocessing, the grain size decreases to less than 200 nm in diameter and the sample maintains itsoriginal shape, while the hardness is double owing to equal-axial ultrafine grains and workhardening effect caused by large plastic deformation.展开更多

Based on validating results by heat balance test for an aluminum melting furnace, CFD （computational fluid dynamics） technique, in association with statistical experimental design were used to optimize the melting process of the aluminum melting furnace. Four important factors influencing the melting time, such as horizontal angle between burners, height-to-radius ratio, natural gas mass flow and air preheated temperature, were identified by PLACKETT-BURMAN design. A steepest descent method was undertaken to determine the optimal regions of these factors. Response surface methodology with BOX-BEHNKEN design was adopted to further investigate the mutual interactions between these variables on RSD （relative standard deviation） of aluminum temperature, RSD of furnace temperature and melting time. Multiple-response optimization by desirability function approach was used to determine the optimum melting process parameters. The results indicate that the interaction between the height-to-radius ratio and horizontal angle between burners affects the response variables significantly. The predicted results show that the minimum RSD of aluminum temperature （12.13%）, RSD of furnace temperature （18.50%） and melting time （3.9 h） could be obtained under the optimum conditions of horizontal angle between burners as 64°, height-to-radius ratio as 0.3, natural gas mass flow as 599 m3/h, and air preheated temperature as 639 ℃. These predicted values were further verified by validation experiments. The excellent correlation between the predicted and experimental values confirms the validity and practicability of this statistical optimum strategy.展开更多

In the same period, workflow management has experienced significant development, but has become more focused on the industry. However, it seems to us that document workflows have not had the same interest for the scientific community. But nowadays, the emergence and supremacy of the Internet in electronic exchanges are leading to a massive dematerialization of documents;which requires a conceptual reconsideration of the organizational framework for the processing of said documents in both public and private administrations. This problem seems open to us and deserves the interest of the scientific community. Indeed, EDM has mainly focused on the storage (referencing) and circulation of documents (traceability). It paid little attention to the overall behavior of the system in processing documents. The purpose of our researches is to model document processing systems. In the previous works, we proposed a general model and its specialization in the case of small documents (any document processed by a single person at a time during its processing life cycle), which represent 70% of documents processed by administrations, according to our study. In this contribution, we extend the model for processing small documents to the case where they are managed in a system comprising document classes organized in subclasses;which is the case for most administrations. We have thus observed that this model is a Markovian <i>M<sup>L×K</sup>/M<sup>L×K</sup>/</i>1 queues network.

It is observed directly in experiment that most of the photo-excited carriers in quantum wells with a p-n junction escape from quantum wells and form photoeurrent rather than relax to the ground state of the quantum wells. The photo absorption coei^cient of multiple quantum wells is also enhanced by a p-n junction. The results pave a novel way for solar cells and photodetectors making use of low-dimensional structure.展开更多

Overlapping FSP did not exert a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the FSP UFG Cu. Similar average grain size was achieved in the transitional zone （TZ） of the multiple-pass FSP sample compared to that in the nugget zone of the single-pass FSP sample, and the TZ exhibited a strong {111}（112） type A fiber shear texture, Very weak softening occurred in the TZ of the multiple-pass FSP UFG Cu, resulting in a relatively uniform hardness distribution throughout the whole processed zone. A high yield strength of - 310 MPa and a uniform elongation of - 13% were achieved in the bulk FSP UFG Cu. This study provides an effective strategy to prepare large-area bulk IUFG materials.展开更多

We analyse these two processes systematically for their theoretical distributions, based on the piecewise deterministic Markov process theory developed by Davis [1] and the martingale methodology used by Dassios and Jang [2]. The analytic expressions of the Laplace transforms of these two processes are presented. We also obtain the multivariate probability generating function for the number of jumps, for which we use a multivariate Cox process. To derive these, we assume that the Cox processes jumps, intensity jumps and primary event jumps are independent of each other. Using the Laplace transform of the integral of multiple shot noise process, we obtain the tail of multivariate distributions of the first jump times of the Cox processes, i.e. the multivariate survival functions. Their numerical calculations and other relevant joint distributions’ numerical values are also presented.展开更多

Method: Our research method was causal-comparative. Statistical population were patients with schizophrenia and patients with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease that are kept by formal caregivers in welfare centers in Guilan or by informal caregivers in families in Rasht city of Guilan province in Iran. 45 persons with MS, Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia (in each group 15 persons) were randomly selected by accessible sampling method in 2014. Then, subjects were asked to response to sensory profile questionnaires to measure of sensory processing and ozgood semantic differentiation questionnaires to measure of semantic differentiation, then raw data were analyzed by multiple analyses of variance with using of spss16 software. Results: P value less than 0.05, namely p 0.05), had the maximum mean in three groups. Discussion and Conclusion: Because sensory processing and semantic differentiation aren’t in a desirable condition in patients with schizophrenia, so it is necessary that the people who are at high risk of developing the disease or the initial stages of the disease, must be acted to improve their sensory processing and semantic differentiation.展开更多

文摘To reduce the fuel consumption and emissions and also enhance the molten aluminum quality, a mathematical model with user-developed melting model and burning capacity model, were established according to the features of melting process of regenerative aluminum melting furnaces. Based on validating results by heat balance test for an aluminum melting furnace, CFD （computational fluid dynamics） technique, in association with statistical experimental design were used to optimize the melting process of the aluminum melting furnace. Four important factors influencing the melting time, such as horizontal angle between burners, height-to-radius ratio, natural gas mass flow and air preheated temperature, were identified by PLACKETT-BURMAN design. A steepest descent method was undertaken to determine the optimal regions of these factors. Response surface methodology with BOX-BEHNKEN design was adopted to further investigate the mutual interactions between these variables on RSD （relative standard deviation） of aluminum temperature, RSD of furnace temperature and melting time. Multiple-response optimization by desirability function approach was used to determine the optimum melting process parameters. The results indicate that the interaction between the height-to-radius ratio and horizontal angle between burners affects the response variables significantly. The predicted results show that the minimum RSD of aluminum temperature （12.13%）, RSD of furnace temperature （18.50%） and melting time （3.9 h） could be obtained under the optimum conditions of horizontal angle between burners as 64°, height-to-radius ratio as 0.3, natural gas mass flow as 599 m3/h, and air preheated temperature as 639 ℃. These predicted values were further verified by validation experiments. The excellent correlation between the predicted and experimental values confirms the validity and practicability of this statistical optimum strategy.

文摘Large-area bulk ultrafine grained （UFG） pure Cu was successfully prepared by multiple-pass overlapping friction stir processing （FSP） under additional rapid cooling. Overlapping FSP did not exert a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the FSP UFG Cu. Similar average grain size was achieved in the transitional zone （TZ） of the multiple-pass FSP sample compared to that in the nugget zone of the single-pass FSP sample, and the TZ exhibited a strong {111}（112） type A fiber shear texture, Very weak softening occurred in the TZ of the multiple-pass FSP UFG Cu, resulting in a relatively uniform hardness distribution throughout the whole processed zone. A high yield strength of - 310 MPa and a uniform elongation of - 13% were achieved in the bulk FSP UFG Cu. This study provides an effective strategy to prepare large-area bulk IUFG materials.

文摘Low-salinity water(LSW)and CO_(2) could be combined to perform better in a hydrocarbon reservoir due to their synergistic advantages for enhanced oil recovery(EOR);however,its microscopic recovery mechanisms have not been well understood due to the nature of these two fluids and their physical reactions in the presence of reservoir fluids and porous media.In this work,well-designed and inte-grated experiments have been performed for the first time to characterize the in-situ formation of micro-dispersions and identify their EOR roles during a LSW-alternating-CO_(2)(CO_(2)-LSWAG)process under various conditions.Firstly,by measuring water concentration and performing the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)analysis,the in-situ formation of micro-dispersions induced by polar and acidic materials was identified.Then,displacement experiments combining with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)analysis were performed with two crude oil samples,during which wettability,interfacial tension(IFT),CO_(2) dissolution,and CO_(2) diffusion were quantified.During a CO_(2)-LSWAG pro-cess,the in-situ formed micro-dispersions dictate the oil recovery,while the presence of clay minerals,electrical double-layer(EDL)expansion and multiple ion exchange(MIE)are found to contribute less.Such formed micro-dispersions are induced by CO_(2) via diffusion to mobilize the CO_(2)-diluted oil,alter the rock wettability towards more water-wet,and minimize the density contrast between crude oil and water.
文摘In this paper, we study multiple shot noise process and its integral. We analyse these two processes systematically for their theoretical distributions, based on the piecewise deterministic Markov process theory developed by Davis [1] and the martingale methodology used by Dassios and Jang [2]. The analytic expressions of the Laplace transforms of these two processes are presented. We also obtain the multivariate probability generating function for the number of jumps, for which we use a multivariate Cox process. To derive these, we assume that the Cox processes jumps, intensity jumps and primary event jumps are independent of each other. Using the Laplace transform of the integral of multiple shot noise process, we obtain the tail of multivariate distributions of the first jump times of the Cox processes, i.e. the multivariate survival functions. Their numerical calculations and other relevant joint distributions’ numerical values are also presented.
文摘Aim: The purpose of this study was comparison of sensory processing and semantic differentiation in patients with schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease. Method: Our research method was causal-comparative. Statistical population were patients with schizophrenia and patients with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease that are kept by formal caregivers in welfare centers in Guilan or by informal caregivers in families in Rasht city of Guilan province in Iran. 45 persons with MS, Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia (in each group 15 persons) were randomly selected by accessible sampling method in 2014. Then, subjects were asked to response to sensory profile questionnaires to measure of sensory processing and ozgood semantic differentiation questionnaires to measure of semantic differentiation, then raw data were analyzed by multiple analyses of variance with using of spss16 software. Results: P value less than 0.05, namely p 0.05), had the maximum mean in three groups. Discussion and Conclusion: Because sensory processing and semantic differentiation aren’t in a desirable condition in patients with schizophrenia, so it is necessary that the people who are at high risk of developing the disease or the initial stages of the disease, must be acted to improve their sensory processing and semantic differentiation.

文摘The effects of various general and heavy metal ions in acidic cadmium-containing wastewater on SBR desulfurization and cadmium removal under different concentrations were studied.CrO_(4)^(2-) and S^(2-) inhibited SRB mineralization,and Mg^(2+),Ca^(2+),Fe^(2+),and Fe^(3+) promoted SRB mineralization at low concentration(<50 mg/L).The inhibitory concentrations of Cu^(2+),Mn^(2+),Co^(2+),Zn^(2+),Pb^(2+),Hg^(2+),Cr^(3+),and Ni^(2+) were 10,30,2,20,25,5,30 mg/L,respectively.The inhibition order was Co^(2+)>Hg^(2+)>Cu^(2+)>Ni^(2+)>Zn^(2+)>Pb^(2+)>Mn^(2+)>Cr^(3+).Furthermore,the inverted microscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)were used to observe the sediment crystallization process from macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints in the optimized ion environment.The experimental results show that under the mineralization of SRB,cadmium sediment crystallization is mainly divided into the rapid growth of bacteria,crystal nucleus production,block formation,and crystallization occuration.At the same time,X-ray diffraction(XRD)and energy-dispersive spectra(EDS)have also confirmed the sediment and crystallization.

文摘Three carbazole-based multiple resonance dendrimers namely D1-BNN,D2-BNN and D3-BNN,are developed for solution-processed narrowband blue organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs)by introducing the first-,second-,and third-generation carbazole dendrons in periphery of boron,nitrogen-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton.Different from D1-BNN containing first-generation carbazole dendron showing moderate photoluminescent quantum efficiency(PLQY)of 68%in solid state and broadened emission bands with full-width at half maximum(FWHM)increasing from 26 nm to 34 nm upon doping concentration growing from 10 wt%to 40 wt%,D3-BNN with the third-generation carbazole dendron exhibits high PLQY of 92%and weak dependence of photoluminescent spectra on doping concentration,which can remain narrowband emissions with unchanged FWHM of 24 nm at same doping concentration range.Solution-processed OLEDs employing D3-BNN as emitter reveal blue electroluminescence at 477 nm with FWHM of 24 nm,and maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 17.3%which is kept at 14.4%at doping concentration of 40 wt%,much superior than the D1-BNN devices showing maximum EQE of 13.0%that drops to 3.7%at 40 wt%doping concentration.
