The results show that, the surface microstructure is uniform, the proportion of recrystallization in matrix increases, and the banding textures are narrowed; the precipitates, whose quantity in normalized plate is more than that in hot-rolled plate greatly, are mainly A1N, MnS, composite precipitates （Cu,Mn）S and so on. Normalizing technology with a temperature of 1120 ℃, holding for 3 min, and a two-stage cooling is a most advantaged method to obtain oriented silicon steel with sharper Goss texture and higher magnetic properties, owing to the uniform surface microstructures and the obvious inhomogeneity of microstructures along the thickness. The normalizing technology with the two-stage cooling is the optimum process, which can generate more fine precipitates dispersed over the matrix, and be beneficial for finished products to get higher magnetic properties.展开更多

The microstructure and mechanical properties of 2.25Cr1Mo0.25 V steel after the up ladder type normalizing, terraced type normalizing and isothermal type normalizing were studied. Experimental results show that： 1） For the grain refinement, the twice terraced type normalizing is better than the up ladder type and isothermal type normalizing, and the average grain size is 18 μm; 2） The yield strength, tensile strength and-30℃ charpy impact energy after twice terraced type normalizing are 681 MPa, 768 MPa and 181 J, respectively, and the mechanical properties are better than those of the up ladder type and isothermal type normalizing; 3） Compared with the isothermal type normalizing, the holding time of terraced type normalizing can be shortened by 30%, which greatly reduces the energy consumption.展开更多

Hot hand normalizing annealing is an important process which influences the microstructure and the development of the inhibitors. The effects of different annealing temperatures and cooling conditions on the inhibitors and microstructures of normalizing annealing band were investigated. The microstructure and different kinds of the inhibitors, i. e. , A1N, AIN＋Cu, S＋MnS, and TiN, were discovered. The result shows that a suitable cooling condition leads to more nano scale inhibitors and uniform microstructure of the normalizing annealing band and consequently results in better magnetic properties.展开更多

The effect of precipitation behavior on mechanical properties was investigated by theoretical calculations. The results showed that 32.9% of V（C,N） precipitates remained undissolved in the austenite during the soaking step of the normalizing process. These precipitates prevented the growth of the austenite grains. During the subsequent cooling process, the dissolved V（C,N） re-precipitated and played a role in precipitation strengthening. The undissolved V（C,N） induced intragranular ferrite nucleation and refined the ferrite grains. Consequently, compared with hot-rolled steel, the normalized steel exhibited increased grain-refining strengthening but diminished precipitation strengthening, leading to an improvement of the impact energy at the expense of about 40 MPa yield strength.展开更多

The average bit-error-rate （BER） expressions of the FFH/BFSK SNZ receiver and the average BER expressions of an FFH/BFSK spread-spectrum （SS） communication system with frequency offsets of multitone jamming for the sake of understanding the simulation results better. Simulation results show that BER performance of the FFH/BFSK SNZ receiver with diversity under the worst case multitone jamming （MTJ） and AWGN suffers from multitone jamming＇s frequency offsets when the jamming power is moderate, which is validated by several simulations with different frequency offsets configured in multitone jamming. Therefore, an FFH/BFSK SNZ receiver under multitone jamming can be combated with the help of frequency offsets of multitone jamming.展开更多

文摘A grain-oriented silicon steel was normalized with a novel high magnetic field using one-stage cooling process.The effect of high-magnetic-field normalizing on the microstructures and textures was studied with a hot-rolled sheet as initial material.It was found that recrystallization and the grain growth were enhanced owing to the external magnetic field driving force.The angle between Goss orientation and magnetic field direction was small,resulting in a high nucleation rate of Goss grains,and hence,the intensity of Goss texture was increased and the deviation angle of Goss grains was reduced after high-magnetic-field normalizing.Furthermore,the migration of dislocation was promoted with an external magnetic field driving force and the density of dislocation decreased,reducing the proportion of low-angle grain boundaries around the Goss grains.The enhancement of recrystallization process and grain growth increased the proportion of high-energy grain boundaries and high-angle grain boundaries,providing a favorable condition for the growth of Goss grains.

文摘Monocular 3D object detection is challenging due to the lack of accurate depth information.Some methods estimate the pixel-wise depth maps from off-the-shelf depth estimators and then use them as an additional input to augment the RGB images.Depth-based methods attempt to convert estimated depth maps to pseudo-LiDAR and then use LiDAR-based object detectors or focus on the perspective of image and depth fusion learning.However,they demonstrate limited performance and efficiency as a result of depth inaccuracy and complex fusion mode with convolutions.Different from these approaches,our proposed depth-guided vision transformer with a normalizing flows(NF-DVT)network uses normalizing flows to build priors in depth maps to achieve more accurate depth information.Then we develop a novel Swin-Transformer-based backbone with a fusion module to process RGB image patches and depth map patches with two separate branches and fuse them using cross-attention to exchange information with each other.Furthermore,with the help of pixel-wise relative depth values in depth maps,we develop new relative position embeddings in the cross-attention mechanism to capture more accurate sequence ordering of input tokens.Our method is the first Swin-Transformer-based backbone architecture for monocular 3D object detection.The experimental results on the KITTI and the challenging Waymo Open datasets show the effectiveness of our proposed method and superior performance over previous counterparts.

文摘The precipitation behavior of V-N microalloyed steel during normalizing process was studied by physicochemical phase analysis and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The effect of precipitation behavior on mechanical properties was investigated by theoretical calculations. The results showed that 32.9% of V（C,N） precipitates remained undissolved in the austenite during the soaking step of the normalizing process. These precipitates prevented the growth of the austenite grains. During the subsequent cooling process, the dissolved V（C,N） re-precipitated and played a role in precipitation strengthening. The undissolved V（C,N） induced intragranular ferrite nucleation and refined the ferrite grains. Consequently, compared with hot-rolled steel, the normalized steel exhibited increased grain-refining strengthening but diminished precipitation strengthening, leading to an improvement of the impact energy at the expense of about 40 MPa yield strength.
文摘This study was carried out to investigate the effect of heat treatment (Normalizing and Hardening) on the mechanical properties of springs. The springs were made from mild steel rod having a diameter of 6 mm, a total of 15 springs were made. The springs were then subjected to various heat treatment processes which included;normalizing, hardening and tempering. The heat treated springs were then subjected to various test in other to determine their mechanical properties, these included;impact toughness test, hardness test and tension test. The normalized spring had more strength, was harder and was much tougher than both the annealed and as received springs. The water quenched springs were the hardest of all the heat treated springs, were very brittle and had the lowest percentage elongation. Their strength was also lower than that of the normalized and as received springs. The water quenched and tempered springs had better mechanical properties required for spring making, they had the optimum combination of hardness, strength and toughness when compared with the other heat treated springs.

文摘For the first time,we derive the compact forms of normalization factors for photon-added（-subtracted） two-mode squeezed thermal states by using the P-representation and the integration within an ordered product of operators（IWOP） technique.It is found that these two factors are related to the Jacobi polynomials.In addition,some new relationships for Jacobi polynomials are presented.
文摘Purpose: To design and test a method for normalizing book citations in Google Scholar.Design/methodology/approach: A hybrid citing-side, cited-side normalization method was developed and this was tested on a sample of 285 research monographs. The results were analyzed and conclusions drawn.Findings: The method was technically feasible but required extensive manual intervention because of the poor quality of the Google Scholar data. Research limitations: The sample of books was limited and also all were from one discipline —business and management. Also, the method has only been tested on Google Scholar, it would be useful to test it on Web of Science or Scopus.Practical limitations: Google Scholar is a poor source of data although it does cover a much wider range citation sources that other databases. Originality/value: This is the first method that has been developed specifically for normalizing books which have so far not been able to be normalized.

文摘Glitches represent a category of non-Gaussian and transient noise that frequently intersects with gravitational wave(GW)signals,thereby exerting a notable impact on the processing of GW data.The inference of GW parameters,crucial for GW astronomy research,is particularly susceptible to such interference.In this study,we pioneer the utilization of a temporal and time-spectral fusion normalizing flow for likelihood-free inference of GW parameters,seamlessly integrating the high temporal resolution of the time domain with the frequency separation characteristics of both time and frequency domains.Remarkably,our findings indicate that the accuracy of this inference method is comparable to that of traditional non-glitch sampling techniques.Furthermore,our approach exhibits a greater efficiency,boasting processing times on the order of milliseconds.In conclusion,the application of a normalizing flow emerges as pivotal in handling GW signals affected by transient noises,offering a promising avenue for enhancing the field of GW astronomy research.

文摘Metabolomics as a research field and a set of techniques is to study the entire small molecules in biological samples.Metabolomics is emerging as a powerful tool generally for pre-cision medicine.Particularly,integration of microbiome and metabolome has revealed the mechanism and functionality of microbiome in human health and disease.However,metabo-lomics data are very complicated.Preprocessing/pretreating and normalizing procedures on metabolomics data are usually required before statistical analysis.In this review article,we comprehensively review various methods that are used to preprocess and pretreat metabolo-mics data,including MS-based data and NMR-based data preprocessing,dealing with zero and/or missing values and detecting outliers,data normalization,data centering and scaling,data transformation.We discuss the advantages and limitations of each method.The choice for a suitable preprocessing method is determined by the biological hypothesis,the characteristics of the data set,and the selected statistical data analysis method.We then provide the perspective of their applications in the microbiome and metabolome research.

文摘Extreme-mass-ratio inspiral(EMRI)signals pose significant challenges to gravitational wave(GW)data analysis,mainly owing to their highly complex waveforms and high-dimensional parameter space.Given their extended timescales of months to years and low signal-to-noise ratios,detecting and analyzing EMRIs with confidence generally relies on long-term observations.Besides the length of data,parameter estimation is particularly challenging due to non-local parameter degeneracies,arising from multiple local maxima,as well as flat regions and ridges inherent in the likelihood function.These factors lead to exceptionally high time complexity for parameter analysis based on traditional matched filtering and random sampling methods.To address these challenges,the present study explores a machine learning approach to Bayesian posterior estimation of EMRI signals,leveraging the recently developed flow matching technique based on ordinary differential equation neural networks.To our knowledge,this is also the first instance of applying continuous normalizing flows to EMRI analysis.Our approach demonstrates an increase in computational efficiency by several orders of magnitude compared to the traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC)methods,while preserving the unbiasedness of results.However,we note that the posterior distributions generated by FMPE may exhibit broader uncertainty ranges than those obtained through full Bayesian sampling,requiring subsequent refinement via methods such as MCMC.Notably,when searching from large priors,our model rapidly approaches the true values while MCMC struggles to converge to the global maximum.Our findings highlight that machine learning has the potential to efficiently handle the vast EMRI parameter space of up to seventeen dimensions,offering new perspectives for advancing space-based GW detection and GW astronomy.
