The dual-energy γ -ray device is composed of radioactive isotopes of 241Am and 137Cs with γ -ray energies of 59.5 and 662 keV, respectively. A rational method to calibrate the absorption coefficient was introduced in detail. The modified arithmetic is beneficial to removing the extra Compton scattering from the measured value. The result shows that the dual-energy γ -ray technique can be used in three-phase flow with average accuracy greater than 95%, which enables us to determine phase fractions almost independent of the flow regime.

To estimate the unknown scalar, its phase is decomposed into a fractional phase and an integer phase. However, the maximum-likelihood （ML） algorithm for the fractional phase does not have closed-form solutions and suffers from high computational complexity. By ex- ploring the structures of widely used constellations, this paper proposes a low-complexity fractional phase estimation algorithm which requires no exhaustive search. Analytical expressions of the asymptotic mean squared error （MSE） are also derived. The theo- retical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed fractional phase estimation algorithm exhibits almost the same performance as the ML algorithm but with significantly reduced computational burden.展开更多

In this article, the principle and mathematical method of determining the void fraction of horizontal gas-liquid flow by using a sin- gle-energy γ-ray system is described. The γ-ray source is the radioactive isotope of 241Am with γ-ray energy of 59.5 keV. The time-averaged value of the void fraction in a 50.0-mm i.d. transparent horizontal pipeline is measured under various combinations of the liquid flow and gas flow. It is found that increasing the gas flow rate at a fixed liquid flow rate would increase the void fraction. Test data are compared with the predictions of the correlations and a good agreement is found. The result shows that the designed γ-ray system can be used for measuring the void fraction in a horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow with high accuracy.展开更多

The governing equations of fractional order generalized thermoelasticity with three-phase lag model for functionally graded materials(FGM)(i.e., material with spatially varying material properties) are established. The analytical solution in the transform domain is obtained by using the eigenvalue approach.The inversion of Laplace transform is done numerically. The graphical results indicate that the fractional parameter has significant effects on all the physical quantities.

We find some basic features essentially different from the bilayer integer QH systems at ν = 2, reflecting the special characteristics of the fractional QH systems. The degeneracy of the ground states occurs depending on the difference between intralayer and interlayer Coulomb energies, when interlayer tunneling energy (ΔSAS) gets close to zero. The continuous transitions of the finite size systems between the spin-polarized and spin-unpolarized phases are determined by the competition between the Zeeman energy (ΔZ) and the electron Coulomb energy, and are almost not affected by ΔSAS.展开更多

Depending on the cooling rate and temperature, the different structures were obtained from the initial near-γ (NG) microstructures by heat treatment in the α+γ field. The results show that the microstructures of samples after furnace cooling (FC) consist primarily of equiaxed γ and α 2 grains, with a few grains containing lamellae. Duplex microstructures consist mainly of γ grains and lamellar colonies were obtained in the quenching into another furnace at 900°C (QFC) samples. However, further increasing of the cooling rate to air cooling (AC) induces the transformation of α→α_2 and results in a microstructure with equiaxed γ and α_2 grains, and no lamellar colonies are found.展开更多

Different fractions, distributions and shapes of δ phase was prepared by aging treated at 880 ℃, 930 ℃ and 980 ℃ for 5 h or 10 h. The effect of δ phase on the mechanical pro- perties of GH4169 alloy was investigated. The results show that 0.2% yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of GH4169 alloy increase by 61 MPa and 78 MPa respectively when the fraction of δ phase increases from 2.20% to 5.21%. Then, the ultimate tensile strength remains at 1 012 MPa even when the fraction of δ phase reaches 7.56%. The fraction effect of δ phase on the strength improvement of GH4169 alloy is more significant than morphology, and the critical fraction value is 5.21%. In addition, the elongation decreases by 14.1% when the fraction of δ phase increases from 2.20% to 7.56%.

However, spectral residual（SR） and phase spectrum of the Fourier transform（PFT） models are simple and fast saliency detection approaches based on two-dimensional Fourier transform without the prior knowledge. For seismic data, the geological structure of the underground rock formation changes more obviously in the time direction. Therefore, one-dimensional Fourier transform is more suitable for seismic saliency detection. Fractional Fourier transform（FrFT） is an improved algorithm for Fourier transform, therefore we propose the seismic SR and PFT models in one-dimensional FrF T domain to obtain more detailed saliency maps. These two models use the amplitude and phase information in FrFT domain to construct the corresponding saliency maps in spatial domain. By means of these two models, several saliency maps at different fractional orders can be obtained for seismic attribute analysis. These saliency maps can characterize the detailed features and highlight the object areas, which is more conducive to determine the location of reservoirs. The performance of the proposed method is assessed on both simulated and real seismic data. The results indicate that our method is effective and convenient for seismic attribute extraction with good noise immunity.展开更多

This new algorithm consists of two independent Gerchberg-Saxton procedures and an averaging operation in each circle. Numerical simulations are carried out to show its validity for both smoothed and unsmoothed images with most pairs of orders in the interval [0, 1].展开更多

Experimental results indicate that the nanoindentation hardness of cementite grains is between 14.15 GPa and 17.61 GPa,with a mean value of 15.40 GPa. This hardness is much higher than the hardness of ferrite grains. The nanoindentation hardness of ferrite is between 2.78 GPa and 4.89 GPa, with a mean value of 3.35 GPa. The volume fractions of the different phases were also determined using nanoindentation technology, and the volume fraction of cementite in the steel was identified as 15%.展开更多

This paper proposes a new mixed-integer linear programming model to simultaneously incorporate fractionation and cumulative constraints in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) planning optimization used in cancer treatment. The method is compared against a standard practice of posing only cumulative limits in the optimization. In a prostate case, incorporating both forms of limits into planning converted an undeliverable plan obtained by considering only the cumulative limits into a deliverable one within 3% of the value obtained by ignoring the fraction size limits. A two-phase boosting strategy is studied as well, where the first phase aims to radiate primary and secondary targets simultaneously, and the second phase aims to escalate the tumor dose. Using of the simultaneous strategy on both phases, the dose difference between the primary and secondary targets was enhanced, with better sparing of the rectum and bladder.展开更多
