The Rock Eval results of 284 cuttings samples, 31 side wall core samples and conventional core samples from the Jurassic Cretaceous sedimentary sequences in the Bambra 2 well are presented in this paper. Significantly lower T max values from cuttings samples compared with T max values from conventional core samples and solvent extracted SWC samples, from the deeper and higher maturity interval, are thought to have been caused by contamination by diesel and other drilling mud additives. The cuttings samples in the Barrow Group of Cretaceous may be contaminated by natural hydrocarbons, resulting their T max values to be 2-10 ℃ lower than a regularly increased T max trend from core samples. This study indicates that more reliable Rock Eval T max data are obtained from the conventional core samples and solvent extracted SWC samples. This study also indicates that the T max values from some SWC samples were also affected by free hydrocarbons, due to the use of diesel as a mud additive as well.展开更多

A large portion of carbon sequestered and fixed by forests is returned to the atmosphere through soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux and multiple controlling parameters mainly temperature, precipitation, and growth factors interact with the soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux variation. This study assessed the soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux every month for consecutive 2-years (August 2015 to July 2017) by using the closed chamber method to determine the role of ecological parameters that govern the soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux and its temporal modification in a sub-tropical mixed forest of central region in Nepal. The results of this study manifested that soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux accounted 63.2% (y = 31.96e<sup>0.128x</sup>), 71.3% (y = 44.77e<sup>0.123x</sup>) and 64.5% (y = 44.11e<sup>0.117x</sup>) variations in soil temperature with significantly (p < 0.05) exponential positive relation in the year 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and the two years when merged. And the temperature sensitivity value (Q<sub>10</sub>) of the soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux was 3.6, 3.4, and 3.2, respectively. Soil water content also expressed significantly (p < 0.05) positive exponential effect on soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux and accounted 62.0% (y = 138.3e<sup>0.057x</sup>), 46.1% (y = 88.42e<sup>0.052x</sup>) and 40.5% (y = 133.1e<sup>0.0447x</sup>) in its variability in different years and the merged years. Evident variations of soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux, soil temperature, soil water content, and litter were observed in the forest seasonally and inter-annually. Two years mean total annual soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux of the forest was estimated at 904.76 g C·m<sup>-2</sup>·y<sup>-1</sup>. The study revealed that sub-tropical forests could be more influenced by precipitation regimes in progressing warm climates i.e. vulnerable to climate change, illustrating the comprehensive dynamics of the representative forest carbon cycle in the tropical region.展开更多

The results show that TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on Ti foil by both processes, whereas TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on porous Ti only in the second process. The overhigh current density led to the failure of the formation nanotubes on porous Ti in 0.5%HF electrolyte. TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by SEM and XRD. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti were thinner than those on Ti foil. Anatase was formed when TiO2 nanotubes were annealed at 400 °C and fully turned into rutile at 700 °C. To obtain good photodegradation, the optimal heat treatment temperature of TiO2 nanotubes was 450 °C. The porosity of the substrates influenced photodegradation properties. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti with 60% porosity had the best photodegradation.展开更多

The optimal grinding parameters were found as: a slurry water content of 64.10%-85.47%, ball number ratio of 360/20, revolution speed of 300.9 r/min, powder-filling ratio of 10.88%, ball-filling ratio of 20.53%-23.88%, and grinding time of approximately 6 h. The discrete element method(DEM) was employed to analyze relationship between the noisy-power dissipation and the grinding efficiency, and equations describing the relationship were derived. The mean particle size of the ground powder decreased with a decrease in the degree of noisy-power dissipation, while the grinding efficiency and the amount of specific impact power used decreased with an increase in the degree of noisy-power dissipation.展开更多
