The microstrueture and properties of X80 pipeline steel were researched and analyzed with scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscope(TEM) and other methods. BSG-H06H1 welding wire of Mn-Mo-B-Ti alloy system and BSG-SJ101H1 sintered flux were successfully designed and developed. When this kind of welding wire and flux were used in the production of X80 grade steel pipe, the main structure of the welding seam matched the high strength and toughness of the pipe and was acicular ferrite. The welding speed could be up to 1.7m/min. The thermal simulation experiment and welding technology showed that the best toughness of the welding seam was obtained when the weld heat input was 20 ∼ 25 KJ/em. Meanwhile, the research also showed that the yield strength of X80 steel changed verylittle before and after the production of the pipe. Based on the analysis of the X80 grade submerged arc welded pipe(φ1219 mm × 18. 4 mm), the performance met the requirement ol the specification.

The semi-SJ structure has an optimized design and a specific on-resistance lower than that of conventional SJ structures, which can be achieved without increasing the process difficulty. The simulation results show that the specific on-resistance and the softness factor depend on the aspect and thickness ratios, and that by using the semi-SJ structure, specific on-resistance can be reduced without decreasing the softness factor. It is observed that a trade-off exists between the specific on-resistance and the softness of the diode. © 2012 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: With the increased use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in civil infrastructure, understanding the fire structural performance of these materials is an important safety issue. In this paper, the effect of temperature on the tensile strength of carbon fibers and carbon/epoxy composite sheets was experimentally determined from 20°C to 500°C. Meanwhile, in order to better understand the strength degradation of carbon fiber-polymer composites at elevated and high temperatures, the tension tests were also performed for pure epoxy resin and CFRP sheets by means of 10°C off-axis at the range of 20-80°C, respectively. The experimental results reveal that the strength decrease of carbon composites under tensile loading at elevated and high temperatures is dependent on both thermal softening of the epoxy polymer matrix and thermally-activated weakening of the fibers. The reduction in strength of carbon fiber is attributed to oxidation of the high strength grapheme layer at the near-surface fiber region. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

Box 89, Vienna, A-1201, Austria Abstract: The propagation behaviour of Lamb waves in the functionally graded piezoelectric-piezomagnetic material plate with material parameters varying continuously along the thickness direction is investigated in this paper. The power series technique is employed to solve these variable coefficient ordinary differential equations. Dispersion equations are given for different boundary conditions. In numerical examples, the influence of the variation of each parameter on dispersion curves and cut-off frequency in electrically and magnetically open cases is discussed in detail. Results show that the elastic parameters and density varying along the thickness direction obviously influence the variation of phase velocity. Some variations in electric and magnetic parameters also affect the phase velocity but the influence is too small, while others almost cannot affect the dispersion curves. Cut-off frequency is closely related to two elastic parameters and to density, whereas other parameters almost cannot influence it. All the results can provide theoretical guidance not only for the analysis and design of a magnetoelectric transducer using functionally graded materials, but also for ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Data mining methods based on association rules have been shown to be a powerful tool, particularly for dealing with the prediction and classification issues. This study investigates and improves a data mining algorithm of association rules, and selects the traffic accidents data in a given city in China.

PV inverter's structure and power control mode are analyzed and the limit of reactive power output is calculated, which would send reactive power to the grid using its own ability. This paper uses the DIgSILENT software to compare and analyze each electric quantities under conditions of load variation and three phase short-circuit fault with and without the reactive power control strategy. The results of simulation show that the proposed strategy can make PV power station connected to the grid when faults happen and send reactive power to support voltage of PCC, resulting in the voltage stability of local grid.

The structural parameters considering the combined effects of shear stress and ball stress of soils as well as an applicable expression are proposed. The relations between the structural parameters and the strength parameters are analyzed. In the process of slope excavation, the structural change of soils will affect their strength parameters. The structural change should consider the safety of slope excavation. Compared with the traditional methods without considering structural soil slope, the results show that the structural change of soils in excavation has great impact on their stability, and the safety factor of the slope after excavation considering structural change is less than that without considering the structural change.

Box 225-32, Tianjin, 300192, China Abstract: Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) system can greatly improve the spectrum efficiency and system capacity. Based on the analysis of MIMO system, a research on vertical stratification space-time system (V-BLAST) detection algorithm of wireless optical communication was made in depth. Firstly, several typical detection algorithms were studied as ML, ZF, MMSE and OSIC. Based on OOK and 4PPM modulation, the system BER performance using different detection algorithms was simulated. Then a new system combining Turbo and BLAST technique was put forward which used SISO iterative detection method. The simulation results show that among all layered space-time detection algorithms, the optical performance of ML is best, followed by SISO-MAP and ZF algorithm, and Turbo-BLAST system could improve the anti-jamming performance of FSO.

Under different scintillation distribution and different detectors, the error performance and diversity gain among three linear combining technologies were compared. The simulation results show that the performance improved of system by MRC is the best, followed by EGC, and SelC is poor. Spatial diversity is efficient to improve the performance and have strong ability on resistance to atmospheric channel decline. But on short link FSO system experiencing weak irradiance fluctuation, SelC spatial diversity would not be recommended.

Special attention has been paid on the interface microstructure, coating/substrate bonding strength and tribological properties. It was found that ion cleaning critically influenced the adhesion and the wear resistance of GLC coatings. The optimization of ion cleaning pretreatment revealed that 400 V/30 min is the best ion cleaning conditions. HRTEM observations on the interfacial region showed that the oxide layer has been removed completely, a strong bonding diffusion interface formed. However, for the low energy ion cleaning (300 V/10 min), TEM observations on the interfacial region between the coating and the Al substrate showed that the oxide contamination still existed. The optimization of GLC layer thickness revealed that the GLC coating with 1 μm GLC layer exhibited the highest critical load and the lowest friction coefficient of 14.7 N and 0.065, respectively. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In order to improve the network performance and address the limitations of static WSNs on position estimation, a mobile anchor is utilized effectively and two attractive movement strategies for mobile anchor are designed accordingly.

Sodion is the main component of electrolytes in human blood and electrolytes help maintain the body's acid-base balance. In the present paper the concentration of sodium was determined with the use of NIR spectra. On the basis of NIR spectroscopic measurement mechanism of sodion, prediction models of the concentration of sodium were developed with linear regression using the absorbance at selected wavelengths. In order to reduce temperature perturbations to water bands with the measurement of sodium, Partial least squares regression (PLS) was adopted using select spectra area. The result shows that the determination coefficients (R2)=99.82%, the root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV)=14.5, and the residual prediction deviation (RPD)=23.7, for the calibration model. It meets the daily requirements of biochemical detection accuracy. This technique can be applied to quantitative analysis of sodion in the hospital laboratory.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: The effect of detonation gas upon rock fracture is the cross-frontier research project of fluid dynamics coupling and rock dynamics of crack dynamic growth, having the important scientific significance and explicit application value. In the process of detonation gas driven fracture growth, the varying law of the denotation gas pressure distribution in cracks is inter-influent with the geometric morphology variations in crack growth. This paper analyzes the denotation gas flowing behaviors, establishes the flowing model for denotation gas in rock cracks and the models for the rock crack dynamic response. Also suggests the fluid-solid coupling model for the denotation gas flowing, rock crack response and the numerical model for simulating crack growth driven by the denotation gas. The simulation program is developed on the large-sized rock engineering finite element software (FINAL platform). This numerical analysis platform is used to carry out the systematic numerical experimental study of several main influencing factors of core problems concerning pressure fracture length. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

One is vehicle-bridge model including pile foundation, the dynamic impedances of the layered soil are presented, the improved Penzien model is used to simulate the soil-structure interaction (SSI); the other is vehicle-bridge model where pier bottom is consolidated without considering SSI; the seismic responses of the models are computed at different vehicle speeds, pier heights, earthquake strengths and earthquake waves. The calculation results show that the influence of the SSI on seismic responses of high-speed vehicle-bridge on soft foundation can not be ignored; the lateral displacement and acceleration of the bridge are influenced by low-frequency components, those low-frequency components interact with the earthquake wave incident from bottom side of the piles, which change the spectrum composition of the foundation movement, the frequency components which approach to bridge vibration frequency are strengthened; the lateral displacement and acceleration of bridge increase a lot after considering SSI; the vertical vibration frequency of the bridge changes little while considering SSI; the vertical displacement of the boxing girder increases little with the increase of pier height and vehicle speed; the high-frequency components which are caused mainly by the vehicle load and the track irregularity significantly influenced on the vertical acceleration of the boxing girder.

Though simple to implement and efficient in practice, the classical NLM suffers from ringing artifacts around edges when using square patches, due to an abrupt lack of redundancy of the image. This paper presents an extended NLM based on Multi-Shape Patches Aggregation (NLM-MSPA) to overcome this problem, and uses it to remove medical ultrasound images corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. We have incorporated a preprocessing step to make the speckle noise much closer to the real additive white Gaussian noise, hence more amenable to a denoising algorithm such as NLM-MSPA. Results on real images and artificially speckled images show that the proposed scheme outperforms several classical methods chosen for comparison in its ability to reduce speckle and preserve edge details. © 2011 IEEE.

Box 165, Beijing, 100036, China Abstract: A descriptive methodology and its aided construction tool based on feature model for collaborative computing tasks over multiple virtual machines (CCTMVM) are studied to simple the description of parallel computing in virtualized platform and improve the development efficiency of applications. The tasks decomposition policies are discussed from the principle and method of tasks decomposition, tasks particle judgment and the heuristic rules, and then the appraisal criterion of parallel relationships among tasks is determined to describe the semantic actions of feature units based on their timing relationships. The validity of the descriptive method is determined to judge the effectiveness of the methodology presented from the coefficients of cohesion coupling and the granularities of feature units. A prototype of aided construction tools for CCTMVM is designed, and then a problem-solving application in computer aided engineering (CAE) is taken for an example to analyze its task decomposition. The experimental results show that the proposed idea and methodology have a certain feasibility for constructing a parallel computing-oriented CCTMVM.

Based on the idea of resource virtualization and the analysis of the resource status transition, the resource allocation process and the necessity of resource reconstruction are presented. Resource reconstruction algorithms are designed to determine the resource reconstruction types, and it is shown that they can achieve the goal of resource on-demand allocation through three methodologies: resource combination, resource split, and resource random adjustment. The effects that the resource users have on the resource reconstruction results, the deviation between resources and requirements, and the uniformity of resource distribution are studied by three experiments. The experiments show that resource reconstruction has a close relationship with resource requirements, but it is not the same with current distribution of resources. The algorithms can complete the resource adjustment with a lower cost and form the logic resources to match the demands of resource users easily. © 2012 Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

The gel-film cast from this solution consisted of Gd trifluoroacetate and fluorine-free Ba and Cu salts. The BaCO3-free precursor was obtained through the pyrolysis of the gel film. After firing at 820 °C, the precursor was finally transformed to a phase-pure GBCO film. The critical current density $(Jc) of the GBCO film was measured to reach 3.3 MA/cm2 (at 77 K, 0 T), and its critical transition temperature (Tc) was 92.6 K. During the pyrolyzing of the film, the relatively small amount of released fluorinated gases resulted in the rapid fabrication of GBCO film. © 2002-2011 IEEE.

Using this new low-fluorine solution, the BaCO3 phase was avoided in the pyrolyzed precursor films. Instead, CuO, Y and Ba fluorides (YF3 and BaF2) were formed in the precursor films pyrolyzed at 450°C, which was the same as when an All-TFA solution (prepared using Y, Ba, Cu trifluoroacetates as precursors) or other fluorine-reduced solutions were used. This new kind of low-fluorine solution has only 23% of the fluorine content in an All-TFA solution, and the fluorine content was lower than any other fluorine-reduced solution. Thus, rapid production of YBa2Cu3O7x (YBCO) films can be easily realized. Using a heating rate of 10°Cmin1 in the pyrolysis process, a high critical current density (Jc) of 5MAcm 2 (at 77K, 0T) was obtained in YBCO films fabricated on LaAlO 3 (LAO) single crystal substrates from the new starting solution. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.

But the model is extremely sensitive to measurement errors at low speed because the voltage drop of stator resistance and the pure integrator of the voltage model has some disadvantages like DC offset and initial value problems. In this paper, an improved rotor flux observer is presented. The stator electromotive force is compensated by introducing the errors between the current model and the voltage model of the stator flux. The ideal integrator is replaced by the new modified low-pass filter. The voltage model of rotor flux is deduced from the voltage model of stator flux.

This paper delineates features and functions of a distribution company in an E-commerce context. Then, the paper sets an indicator framework to measure distribution service quality. To do that, this paper employs the AHP method to determine the weight for an indicator, computing the index of service quality at a distribution firm (for B-C business), ZTO. The study concludes that for assessing E-commerce distribution service quality, distribution service is the most important dimension and information service is fairly important. This study also concludes that ZTO has achieved superior performance in both customer and order processing service but needs to put a larger amount of effort into information service for enhancing performance of logistics distribution in the E-commerce setting. © 2011 IEEE.

However, with the advances of new tool materials from ultra-hard to super-hard together with lower or no electrical conductivity such as the material of nano-polycrystalline diamond, the grinding or the WEDM method cannot be used for machining due to their ultra-low process efficiencies for such materials. Laser machining has been tested an effective method. Accordingly, multi-axis laser machines need to be designed for micro tool fabrications. In the paper, a typical micro ball end mill with relatively complex features has been analyzed by the generative design method to generate the number and properties of needed motion axes. Based on the analysis, a novel five-axis laser machine has been designed. Aiming at high-quality micro tool fabrications, the kinematics model has been derived for this five-axis laser machine and error budge has been studied for the subsequently optimum selection of key motion components. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: This paper describes a pilot study aimed to use constructed wetland (CW) technology for urban lake water treatment to maintain water quality. A SFS (Surface Flow Wetland) and/or a FWS (Subsurface Flow Wetland) CW was continuously operated in autumn and winter. The results were then compared and the factors to affect the results were examined. The results showed that, regarding the overall level of the system stability and the pollutants removal efficiency, SFS constructed wetland is better than the FWS wetland. The average removal efficiency of SFS wetland is 84.2% for COD, 53.8% for NH3-N, 47.9% for TN, 73.3% for TP and 86.6% for SS. It is noted that the NH3-N, TN removal rate is not high in single-stage wetlands. Therefore, some novel actions and other ecological processing technologies such as multi-stage wetland system, effluent recirculation etc should be introduced. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, we first analyze the original blog dissemination characteristics include dissemination networked, free agenda-setting and against the spiral of silence phenomenon. Then, we construct a opinion dissemination dynamic model with the method of reductionism and holism. We decompose the blogosphere into different subnets according to the degree distribution, and build the basic dynamic equations with the k-degree subnet, then extended to the whole network to study the polarization phenomenon. After that, we point out the weakness of scale free network to depict the blogosphere in brief and give a new novel model and simulate the process of the opinion dissemination influenced by the composition of the initial opinion, the fixed opinion groups and subjective mental preference of interactive groups. Empirical research shows that polarization will surely happen, consensus is impossible in blogosphere. © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.

The results show that uneven settlement existed in rockfills because of asymmetric between left bank and right bank. Affected by the arch effect of narrow deep valley, later settlement value of rockfills was still great. Because of the effect of steep slope, the axial displacement of concrete panel and deformation gradient in the right (the bank more steep side) was larger than that of left. Finally, a series of improvement measures is proposed, such as adjusting the roller compaction parameters in different part of the rockfills to reduce the uneven settlement value, fully compacting the rockfills with water to reduce the later settlement value, appropriately adjusting concrete panel width and the vertical joint width to reduce tensile stress of side concrete panel and decrease extrusion pressure of the middle concrete panel.

Based on the theoretical frame of comprehensive structure potential, a structural parameter is introduced into the modified Cam-clay model, and the mechanical characteristics of structured soils are forecast. Firstly, the relation between compression and structure is analyzed, in other words, it is established that preconsolidation pressure, compressive index and rebound index are related to the structural parameter. Secondly, the strength features of the structured soils are analyzed, then the critical condition line varying with structural parameter is put forward. Finally, by introducing the structural parameter into the modified Cam-clay model, a structural model according to the strength and deformation characteristics of natural geotechnical materials is developed. After preliminary validation, the proposed model can accurately indicate the strength and deformation laws of structured soils.

Thus, the effects of inflow rate during storm-runoff on pollutants trapping by vegetative filter strips were analyzed based on the measured data from field plot experiments in this paper. Results showed that the purification effectiveness of VFS on suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, particulate nitrogen and particulate phosphorus concentration changed greatly with different inflow rates. Furthermore, the effectiveness of VFS was more obvious along with smaller inflow rate, and grass strip had the best purification effect compared with other strips. Comparing grain diameter distribution at import and export section of each VFS, it showed more efficiency on coarse particles trapping by VFS. Therefore, the deposition of coarse particles was one of main mechanisms of pollutants removal as vegetation reduces flow velocity. The results of this study could provide a scientific support for the application of integrated constructed vegetative filter strips in northwest China.

A new detecting method of filter detuning based on the difference of harmonic voltage across the inductor and the capacity of PPF is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the original based on the subtraction of harmonic phase. The ATHPF simulation model conducted in PSIM is established and the simulation results show that the proposed detuning method satisfies the requirement of ATHPF control system, and verify that the ATHPF enables simultaneously to suppress the specific harmonic and eliminate multiple dominant harmonics without affecting passive filter filtering effects at all other frequencies. © 2012 IEEE.

SEM and TEM results show that MWCNTs or GNS homogeneously disperse around UHMWPE particle, and from a segregated conductive network during the hot-pressing. It is found that the percolation threshold of GNS/UHMWPE composites (0.059%, volume fraction)is much lower than that of MWCNTs/UHMWPE composites (0.148%, volume fraction). At the same filler content, the electrical conductivity of GNS/UHMWPE composites is much lower than that of the MWCNTs/UHMWPE composites (2.0×10-2 S/m, 1.0%, mass fraction). The percolation threshold of GNS-MWCNTs/UHMWPE hybrid composites (0.039%, volume fraction) is lower than that of composites filled with GNS and MWCNTs alone, while the conductivity of GNS-MWCNTs/UHMWPE hybrid composites (1.0×10-2 S/m, 1.0%, mass fraction) is similar to the MWCNTs/UHMWPE composites. The mechanical properties of composites increase and then decrease with the increasing content of fillers.

By introducing the average switchingperiod operator, we transform the discrete-time system to a continuous-time system with a second order nonlinear model and a strict parameter feedback. By using back-stepping design approach, we select step by step the virtual control variable and Lyapunov function; so that each state variable has the appropriate asymptotic features and the whole system under a large disturbance has a global asymptotic stability. After the general expression of the feedback control law is determined, the specific feedback control law of the three-phase voltage source PWM inverter system is obtained by putting parameters into this expression. The effectiveness of the control method is validated by simulation experiments.

Its water is contaminated by point source pollution (PSP) and to some extent, also by non-point source pollution (NSP). To quantify water quality in this river, we monitored water flow and water quality at a control section of Caotan station from Apr., 2010 to Oct., 2011, including contents of COD, TP, NH3-N, NO3-N and TN. The results are summarized as follow. 1) At Caotan, the concentrations of SS, COD, NH3-N, NO3-N and TN exceeded those in the surface water quality standard V, and the mean concentrations in flood periods were lower than those in non-flood periods. 2) The pollutant concentrations at Caotan were lower in flood periods than nonflood periods. 3) From upstream to downstream along the river, the COD concentration was increasing, the total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen were increasing first and then decreasing, while the change in nitrate nitrogen was little. The content of Cr among heavy metals was the highest and its mean concentration took an increasing trend along the river. 4) In flood periods, NSP load was lower than PSP load, and the NSP load ratios of SS, COD, TP, NH3-N, NO3-N and TN were 14%, 2.0%, 5.1%, 6.0%, 7.4% and 4.2%, respectively. 5) At present, PSP issue of the Zaohe River remains a focus of pollution control, but NSP should not be ignored.

It was found by XRD, FT-IR and TG-DTA analysis that allopurinol were intercalated into the LDH layers and formed a supramolecular structure in the reaction with laminate. The structure could improved allopurinol acid resistance and thermal stability. The allopurinol intercalated LDH preparaed by coprecipitation method has an excellent sustained-release performance. It was supposed that the intercalation capacity of organic molecules was increased by a Sol-Gel intermediate which was easy for the objects to be ion-exchanged and embedded during the organic molecules intercalating into the LDH layers by coprecipitation method.

For languages like Chinese that the word boundaries are not orthographically marked, word segmentation which segments a Chinese sentence into a sequence of words, is often required for many Natural Language Processing tasks. In this paper we evaluate the impact of segmentation (spoken data) on the performance of system combination, and show that using inappropriate segmentation in system combination can result in inferior performance compared to single systems. We further demonstrate that using characters as basic translation unit in system combination on IWSLT ASR translation task leads to significant gains in translation quality in terms of BLEU and NIST scores. © 2011 IEEE.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG), as its structural and economic advantages, has been widely utilized in large wind farms in China. However, the large wind farm composed of induction generators will cause obvious problems to the power system stability due to the dependency on reactive power. At the same time, Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), as a new type of wind turbine generator, has excellent dynamic characteristics for operation of wind farms. With the increase in penetration of wind power in power systems, more and more wind farms will use both SCIG and DFIG. In this case, the dynamic characteristic of wind farm on power systems is becoming an important issue especially in terms of the voltage stability. This article is to show by means of simulations the dynamic performance of wind farm linked to power system under the circumstances of network disturbances. Furthermore, the interaction between the SCIGs and DFIGs has also been investigated. A detailed model of wind farms is presented through the plat root of MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG applications will largely improve the dynamic performance of wind farm in certain conditions, if the DFIGs could be applied reasonably, the voltage stability of the wind farm will be largely improved and even low voltage ride through(LVRT) characteristic of SCIGs, which may be a good solution to reduce the high dependence of costly reactive power compensation equipment(Some flexible AC transmission systems devices like SVC, STATCOM) to some extent. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

This is a direct extension of our previous work on Stokes flow of such problems. First we obtain the shape sensitivity analysis using the material derivative concept and adjoint variable technique, and then we couple the shape sensitivity analysis result into the level set function as the advection velocity. Since the level set method is implemented in an Euleran framework, the computational cost of the proposed algorithm is moderate. A Benchmark example is provided to illustrate the efficiency and validity of this method. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Remarkable shifts in the UV-vis and photoluminescence spectra of thin films relative to their solutions indicate the existence of strong intermolecular π-π interactions in the solid state of the two oligomers. In addition, relatively large energy gaps and low highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels imply that the two oligomers are promising and durable semiconducting materials. Thin-film organic field-effect transistor devices based on the two oligomers show good p-type performances with high hole mobilities. The highest mobility (0.20 cm 2/V s) was obtained for the HPTPPTPH oligomer with biphenyl core. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The OMMT and polyethylene packaging waste (WPE) were used as a combined modifier for asphalt, and the microstructure and performance of the modified asphalt were studied. Results show that the organophilic modification with DDAC results in an obvious increase of interlayer spacing of Ca-MMT, and the OMMT nano-lamellas can be completely exfoliated during the preparation of modified asphalt. The WPE, dispersed in asphalt, exhibits relatively small particles with homogeneous distribution, indicating that the OMMT addition is beneficial for the dispersion of WPE in asphalt.

LSP experiments were executed to compare with the simulated results by the finite element method (FEM) in order to validate the strategy of modeling and simulating in the TC4 blade, and the measurement method of peak pressure and spot overlapping was also discussed. Further, FEM was applied to simulate the propagation of stresses waves and residual stresses fields in the TC4 blade by single-sided LSP including different laser spot sizes and pulse widths and simultaneous two-sided LSP, and the propagation characteristics of stresses waves and distribution rules of residual stresses fields in the TC4 blade were described. Results showed that the strategy of modeling and simulating was suitable for numerical simulation. As a result, the compressive residual stresses along the direction of blade surface were increased greatly with increasing the radius of spot size and laser pulse width by single-sided LSP. With the effective distribution of the compressive residual stresses fields and more shocked dimples by simultaneous two-sided LSP, the corresponding mechanics properties were obviously improved than that by single-sided LSP. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The finite element method (FEM) model of the DD6 blade was established during LSP with round laser spot, and LS-DYNA and ANSYS are employed to simulate the residual stresses fields of the DD6 blade by numerical computation. The first four modal shapes of the DD6 blade of [0. 0. 1] orientation at 980. °C were given. Moreover, the validity of the model was verified by numerical computation and LSP experiments. As a result, the distribution rules of the compressive residual stress with different impacts multiplicity were described on the basis of discussing the measurement method of peak pressure. Results showed that the impacts number corresponding to the state of uniform stress was not the same as that related to the maximum compressive residual stress which might occur at lower number of shots. For the DD6 blade of [0. 0. 1] orientation at 980. °C, the best compressive residual stress could be achieved by three impacts. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Undoubtedly, one of the problems in sensor networks, is energy consumption. In the proposed method, finding an optimum Cluster Head is performed by Genetic Algorithm and clustering the network environment is done by k-means algorithm. The proposed method uses a last transmission time of a intermediate node which generate a first route reply. The results of simulation show that at the end of some certain part of running the proposed algorithm, the number of alive nodes increases, comparing with the same previous methods and this can lead to an increase in sensor network lifetime.

According to the measured soil mechanics parameters and the data of field survey to landslide sites, the slope stability with the check dam deposited to different siltation heights were analyzed. The results showed that the defended slope zone was decreased and the stable slope zone was increased with the increasing of the siltation heights of check dams. The percentage of steep slope area (≥45°) was decreased with the increasing of the siltation heights, and exhibited a linear relationship with the defended slope zone. The "flooding effect" was summarized in the deposition process of check dams. Sediment deposition not only changed the valley slope constitution and shortened the slope length, but also changed the cover-manegement factors and support practice factors. The study provides a reference for check dams building.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: A novel Plasma Emission Monitoring (PEM) controlled N2-O2 dual gas reactive dcMS method is proposed for depositing TiAlON and TiMoAlON solar absorber coatings. Working in a 'cheated' feedback mode, the PEM controller ensures smooth & precise control of O/N ratio in obtaining oxy-nitrides without occuring of serious target poisoning. The coatings have three functional layers including the infrared reflector, the absorbing layer, and the antireflection layer. The absorbing layers of the two kinds of coatings are both designed to have a gradually change Al and/or O content. However, the TiAlON coatings have a single TiAlON absorber layer while the TiMoAlON have a tandem absorber composed of a Mo doped TiAlN layer and a Mo doped TiAlON layer. Single-crystal silicon chips and glass slices are used as substrates to deposit the coatings and to characterize the photothermal conversion properties and thermal stability of the coatings by using SEM, UV-visible-near infrared photospectrometer, and solar spectrum emissiometer. The experimtal results show that the tandem TiMoAlON coating exhibits superior theraml stability up to 550°C. After annealing in air at 500°C for 8hrs, it exhibits higher absorptance than as-deposited status. The annealed TiMoAlON coating has a broad absorbing peak covering 400-800nm, which is beneficial to collect the majority energy in solar radiation. Due to its higher absorptivity and lower normal emissivity than the TiAlON coatings, the TiMoAlON coating yields a high solar selectivity (α/Ε&asyum;19) at room temperature. However, at 500°C, its Ε value increases from 0.05 to about 0.25 which might attribute to its excessive thicknesses of the sublayers. The above results demonstrate that the proposed method is a convenient way for preparing high performance oxy-nitride solar absorber coatings which are suitable for non-vacuum high temperature photothermal applications. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

For autofrettaged and shrink-fit multilayer cylinders, numerical solutions for determining the residual stress distribution have been reported. However, few studies about the analytical method are available. In this study, an analytical solution was presented for shrink-fit two-layer cylinders after autofrettage based on the actual tensile-compressive stress-strain curve of material. The new analytical method accurately predicted a residual stress distribution, and it could be used to design two-layer compound cylinders. In this method, unloading and shrink-fitting were considered as a simultaneous operation for an inner cylinder, allowing for a simple and accurate analysis. Some significant factors were taken into account, including the nonlinear behavior of an original autofrettaged inner layer in the shrink-fitting process and a material's different unloading behavior at different maximum tensile affects back-yielding. The results of the proposed method were in excellent agreement with the results from the simulation performed by ansys. The results indicated that an increased shrink-fit pressure expanded the back-yielding zone of the inner cylinders, and did not affect the back-yielding zone of the outer cylinders. The optimum percentages overstrain depend on the working pressure when the shrink-fit pressure, cylinder size, and material are defined, and inner and outer cylinders have different optimum percentages overstrain. © 2012 American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Based on the convexity-preserving morph of planar convex polygons and the convexitypreserving morph of compatible planar triangulations with different convex boundaries, we present the method in this paper for the morph of two simple planar polygons which embeds the source and target polygons in the compatible planar triangulations whose boundaries are the boundaries of the magnified convex hull of the polygons respectively, then morphs the triangulations with the convexity-preserving method. In contrast with the existing intersection-free method which embeds the polygons in the compatible planar triangulations with identical convex boundaries, our method takes into consideration the geometric contours as well as the differences of the source and target polygons, so the morph is possibly more natural, on the other hand, the algorithm for compatibly triangulating the polygons with a single hole in our method uses further less Steiner vertices, so the efficiency is improved greatly. © 2011 IEEE.

However, its high computational complexity and huge memory traffic make design difficult. This paper proposes a high throughput and cost efficient VLSI architecture for bi-directional integer motion estimation (Bi-IME). The redundancy of the joint motion search is removed, and the algorithm is simplified. Novel memory structure and intelligent reading method are designed to satisfy the iterations of full search with two reference windows. The parallel and sequence techniques are adopted to process the matching procedure. After logic synthesis using SMIC 0.13 μm standard cell library, under a clock frequency of 300MHz, the proposed Bi-IME architecture can provide processing capacity up to 149M MBs/sec which is enough for 1080p real-time video systems. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The influence of carbon target current on the structure and corrosion resistance were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization curves. The results indicate that when the current is in the range of 0.2-0.8 A, the film is in layer structure, and the lower the current is, the compacter the film structure is. The composite coating can improve the electrochemical impedance by 5-6 order of magnitude. When the carbon target current is 0.2 A, the self-corrosion potential can be improved from -1.42 V to -1.18 V. The carbon target current is an important factor to affect the corrosion resistance of AlSn20/C composite coating, the lower the target current is, the better the corrosion resistance is.

The effect of MgO particles on the thermal expansion behavior of MgO/Cu composites was studied, and the thermal expansion properties of MgO/Cu composites prepared were evaluated by the coefficient of thermal expansion at the temperatures range from 50 °C to 500 °C. The results show that the introduction of MgO particles significantly reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion of copper matrix. The increased temperature enhances the coefficient of thermal expansion of MgO/Cu composite, whereas more MgO content decreases the coefficient of thermal expansion of MgO/Cu composite. The thermal expansion properties of MgO/Cu composites were calculated by theoretical models. The calculated pressure values at the interface between MgO particles and copper matrix suggest that plastic deformation can occur at 350 °C, which is consistent with the variations of the measured coefficient of thermal expansion. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The results show that the grain size of RE-8-AS42 alloy with Mg2Si particles of 1.3 μm is 2.1 μm, the grain size of 4.8 μm is observed in RE-4-AS42 alloy containing Mg2Si particles of 2-20 μm, and the grain sizes of RE-AS44 and RE-AS66 alloys are about 11 μm containing Mg2Si particles larger than 20 μm. The tensile strength increases with increasing extrusion passes. The RE-8-AS42 alloy has the best tensile properties with an ultimate tensile strength, a yield strength and an elongation of 250 MPa, 197 MPa and 62%, respectively. The excellent properties are attributed to the fine grains and thermally stable fine Mg2Si particles, which can suppress grain boundaries sliding effectively.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: In the article the comparison package box with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and without package is firstly developed and applied to make comparison experiments of post-harvest apples during storage of 30days, 60days and 90days. Then the influence of MAP on the transpiration of post-harvest apples is studied by comparison experiments, and the respiration model and the change of water loss for post-harvest apples is analyzed. These results show that, within the initial storage of 20days the change of water loss of apples with MAP or without package is approximate and almost linear. After 20days the two cases of water loss have obvious difference, the water loss by transpiration for apples without package still shows linearity and maintain constant transpiration rate, yet the transpiration rate of apples with MAP would gradually decrease. Transpiration of post-harvest apples with MAP can be effectively retarded at high relative humidity, and these apples may maintain better quality and 90days shelf life at constant temperature 5°C and relative humidity 60%. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The results showed that the local flow pattern and scour near the project were mainly conducted by the backflow between spur dikes and the diffusing mainstream. Under the current conditions, the flow pattern in the front of water intake structure is free of backflow, and the back silting sediment does not endanger the safety of water intake, but the diffusing mainstream rushes the project and results in serious local scour. When up-oriented submerged type diversion facilities are added, the local scour can be greatly reduced. The optimizing configuration and orientation angler of diversion facilities were obtained. Extending the up spur dam in a reasonable manner can achieve a more favorable flow condition for water intake, so that rushing was alleviated and local scour was diminished. These results can provide reference for the design of similar engineering.

The mechanical characteristic of sandstone comparatively from deformation property, strength property, failure feature and its mechanism are analyzed and researched. The test results show that strength of sandstone is reduced, but deformation of radial and its expansion of capacity under the same principal stress increase significantly under axial loading and radial unloading, axial constant and radial unloading relative to axial loading and constant radial, and especially under axial loading and radial unloading the expansion of capacity is largest; the deformation property and strength property of sandstone under these three stress paths are mainly influenced by initial axial pressure and initial radial pressure, but the influence of the unloading speed of radial pressure on mechanical characteristics of sandstone is not clear.

This paper analyzes interface's motion status of tri-dimensional fluid and solid, proposing and applying infinite dot pair's mode on interface to simulate fluid-solid dynamic interaction. Moreover, according to the generalized variational principle and Lagrange multiplier method this paper introduces flu? id-solid interface constraint condition and establishes theoretical model that could analyze dynamic interaction about tri-dimensional uncompressed fluid and solid. Then it deduces coupling dynamic finite element equation and treats fluid-solid dynamic coupling internal force as unknown which allows dynamic transient response of coupling fluid domain and solid domain could be deduced from the same equation. The results of a classic example indicate that this model is correct and has relatively high accuracy in calculation. The earthquake response of fluid tank indicates that solid deformation is dramatic and should be considered in engineering designing.

Box 123, 99 Shangda Road, Shanghai, 200444, China Abstract: Aerosols contributes much to the ultraviolet non-line-of-sight communication. Based on the Mie theory, this paper derives recurrence functions of Mie scattering coefficient and angle scattering coefficient, and uses the recurrence functions to compute the ultraviolet scattering phrase function. The results show that the larger the scattering particle radius, the stronger the forward and backward scattering effects. When scattering particles are smaller, ultraviolet forward scattering is weaker than back scattering, and the range of phrase function is not large. However, when scattering particles become larger, the ultraviolet forward scattering is much stronger than scattering in the backward and other directions.

All the samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectroscopy. XRD results show that the samples only have single tetragonal structure and the crystallinity of Y0.99VO 4:0.01Dy3+ phosphor is higher than that of Y 0.99PO4:0.01Dy3+ phosphor when the heat treatment process is same. Photoluminescence excitation spectra results show that the Y0.99VO4:0.01Dy3+ and Y 0.99PO4:0.01Dy3+ phosphors can be efficiently excited by ultraviolet light from 250 nm to 380 nm, the former have a wide Dy3+-O2- charge transfer band ranging from 260 nm to 350 nm including a peak at 310 nm, the latter have four peaks at 294 nm, 326 nm, 352 nm and 365 nm. Emission spectra of all the samples exhibit a strong blue emission (483 nm) and another strong yellow emission (574 nm). Moreover, the yellow-to-blue emission intensity ratio and color temperature of emission of Dy3+ are strongly related to excitation wavelength in Y 0.99PO4:0.01Dy3+ phosphor, but it is almost not in Y0.99VO4:0.01Dy3+ phosphor. For Y xVO4:0.01Dy3+ (x = 0.94, 0.97, 0.99, 1.01, 1.03) phosphors, with increasing value of x, the body color of phosphor changes from yellow to white and the strongest peak in excitation spectra shifts a little to shorter wavelength. It is detrimental to luminous intensity when Y3+ content deviate stoichiometric ratio, but the influence of Y 3+ on the color temperature of emission of YVO4:Dy 3+ phosphor is slight. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In DRIS, the signal, track unit and switch point have their own control logic. When a train requests a route, the devices which are related to the requested route will cooperate to complete the route reservation for the train. Such a process is a typical concurrent and asynchronous process, which possibly brings about conflict and confusion, and reduces efficiency of train operation. In this paper, a self-adaptive scheduling (dispatch) model is proposed in order to ensure train safety. The model introduces priority and weight to train by which the scheduling efficiency is possible to be improved. Petri nets are used to model and analyze the proposed approach based on a typical concurrent scene. The analysis result shows that the model is feasible, and it contributes to the future development and application of the DRIS. © 2011 IEEE.

In conventional photoconductive antennas, the electrical field distributes in a narrow area near to the anode, which limits the emission efficiency. A SI-GaAs antenna with AuGeNi ohmic contact electrodes was prepared by the present authors' improved fabrication technology, and the electrical field distributes more evenly when one electrode was biased by a DC square wave pulse or two electrodes were biased by two DC square wave pulses with opposed phases. Compared with the conventional antennas, the terahertz emission efficiency of the antenna was improved by one order when biased by the out-of-phase voltages and illuminating the whole antenna gap to suppress the carrier screening and radiation screening. © 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Two computation steps are adopted to solve the equations with a pressure-splitting and θ semi-implicit method. First, free surface and provisional velocity filed are obtained by solving a 2-D Poisson equation; second, non-hydrostatic pressures are computed by solving a 3-D Poisson equation and the provisional velocity filed is corrected. In constructing this 3-D Poisson equation, the methods of BOM model were adopted, while its mode-split technique was discarded to overcome the inconsistencies. In the sediment transport model that was developed on the hydrodynamic model, an Eulerian-Lagrangian Method (ELM) is used to solve the governing equations, so that the computation time steps are not restricted to the CFL stability conditions. © Copyright.

Box 123, 99 Shangda Road, Shanghai, 200444, China Abstract: To solve the problems in adjusting and controlling shapes of developable surfaces, two explicit and efficient methods of computer-aided design for developable surfaces with multiple local shape parameters are proposed. A class of novel quasi-B-spline basis functions with two shape parameters is presented to construct B-spline curves with multiple shape parameters, which is an extension of the classical cubic uniform B-spline basis functions. Following the idea of duality between points and planes in 3D projective space, the corresponding developable quasi-B-spline surfaces with multiple shape parameters are represented using control planes with quasi-B-spline basis functions. The developable quasi-B-spline surfaces inherit the outstanding properties of the B-spline surfaces, with good performance in adjusting the local shapes by changing the two shape parameters. In the particular case where shape parameters are both equal to 1, the developable quasi-B-spline surface is a developable B-spline surface. In addition, some properties of the developable quasi-B-spline surfaces and applications in developable surfaces design are discussed.

Box 2704, Beijing, 100080, China Abstract: To conquer the weakness of existing traditional image fusion method based on the steerable pyramid transform, a novel adaptive fusion algorithm of multi-sensor images based on nonsubsampled steerable pyramid transform (NSSPT) is proposed. Firstly, the NSSPT is performed on the source images with different scales and directions, thus both the low and high frequency subband coefficients together with varieties of directional bandpass subband coefficients are obtained. Secondly, for the low frequency subband coefficients, a selection principle based on the local area difference of the coefficient's mean value is presented, while for the high frequency subband coefficients and varieties of directional bandpass subband coefficients, a scheme based on the local area average energy combined with the weighted average scheme is presented, which is also consistent with the regional feature of the high and bandpass sub-images. Finally, the fused image is obtained by performing the inverse NSSPT on the combined coefficients. The experimental results show that the proposed approach not only can avoid the introduction of the artifacts and high frequency noise, but also can significantly outperform the traditional image fusion methods based on the pyramid transform, wavelet transform or steerable pyramid transform in terms of both visual quality and objective evaluation criteria.

The impacts of the growth conditions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the CrN coatings were characterized with X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and conventional mechanical probes. The results show that the C-target current significantly affects the microstructures and mechanical properties of the coating, and that sp2, sp3 and Cr-C bonds dominate in the carbon bonding. As the current increases from 0 to 1.5 A, the micro-hardness of the coatings, with decreased grain size, increases by almost 19%, from 1930 HV to 2300 HV, and the current increase also resulted in a polycrystalline to amorphous phase transition.

Box 9622, Bejing, 100086, China Abstract: The precision and reliability of spacecraft navigation mainly relies on the accuracy of error models of the radar system and measurement data. For the pulse radar, a series of new test algorithms were built, including the F-test algorithm and the outliers-tolerant F-test algorithm to test the fittness of the error models with measurement data, and the T-test algorithm and outliers-tolerant T-test algorithm to diagnose the significance of error components. These algorithms were based on the theory of statistical hypothesis test and can be used in two different cases with or without outliers in measurement data respectively. These algorithms were tested with practical measurement data from the pulse radar in tracking a spacecraft. The results show that these algorithms have good outliers-tolerance and adaptation, and are available to diagnose whether the error models of radar data are correct.

Furthermore, the paper extended the model to multi-targets merging situation, figuring out the merger timing under both independent merger strategy and sequential merger strategy. The paper also pointed out the optimal merger strategy of multi-targets merging through comparing and contrasting the threshold and acquirer's firm value of two merging strategies. Because of the extra information value of sequential merger, the threshold of sequential merger strategy is smaller than that of independent merger strategy, and there exists a sequential merger interval where sequential merger strategy is superior to independent merger strategy. Finally, through numerical analyzing the paper investigated the impact of correlation coefficient, success probability, and the acquirer's bargaining power on the threshold and the sequential merger interval.

An explicit formulation of the M-integral is derived by considering the surface/interface effect induced from the residual surface tension and the surface Lame´constants based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface model. It is concluded that the surface/interface effect on the energy release is primarily determined by the surface tension, whereas the surface Lame´constants yield much less influence than the surface tension. Moreover, the energy release significantly relies on the size and configuration of nanopores in nanoporous membrane, which even yields the energy absorption depending on the loading level especially when the pore size is less 20 nm. The two-state M-integral analysis is performed to clarify the mutual effects of surface/interface and size/configuration on the M-integral to explain the energy release or absorption in nanoporous membrane. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: A simple and environmentally friendly method was proposed to prepare high barrier graphene oxide nanosheet (GONS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite films. Transmission electrical microscope and two-dimensional wide angle X-ray diffraction techniques showed that GONSs in PVA matrix were fully exfoliated, uniformly dispersed and highly oriented along the surface of nanocomposite films. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements investigated the strong H-bonding interactions between GONSs and PVA matrix. A remarkable improvement on barrier properties of GONS/PVA nanocomposite films was achieved. Both O2 and water vapor permeability coefficients of PVA film declined by about 98% and 68% at a low GONS loading of 0.72vol%. This was attributed to excellent impermeable property of GONSs, their full exfoliation, uniform dispersion and high alignment in the PVA matrix and the strong interfacial adhesion between GONSs and PVA matrix. These results demonstrate that such a plate-like nanofiller blending method is an effective strategy to design and fabricate high barrier polymer-based nanocomposite films and it will dramatically promote the application of polymer film in the packaging industry. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

However, serious load voltage oscillation, caused by the capacitive component in the plasma load, affects thin film deposition. The paper analyzes the cause of producing oscillation theoretically based on the magnetron sputtering plasma load equivalent circuit loop model. Although the voltage oscillation can be suppressed effectively by joining inductor or a series unit of resistor and inductor between pulsed voltage power and load circuit, the rising rate of pulsed voltage is reduced significantly. Considering this problem, a matching circuit with series inductors and diodes connected in parallel unit in load loop is introduced in the paper. Inductor inhibits oscillation and plays the role of current limiter. Freewheel diode accelerates the rising rate of voltage when the pulse voltage changes direction. Simulation and experimental verification were conducted, indicating that the method ensures the film quality by suppressing oscillation and improving the rising rate of pulsed voltage at the same time. © 2012 IEEE.

With limited feedback, the quantization error of Channel State Information (CSI) will impact the distinguishing of the best relay and worsen the system performance. Considering this issue, the outage performance is studied and its approximate analytical expression is derived for opportunistic relaying systems with limited feedback. Further, the following two propositions are analyzed and proved: with limited feedback, no matter how many potential relays in cooperation, the diversity order can and only can be 2; with the increasing accuracy of feedback, the outage probability approaches to that of the ideal opportunistic relaying systems. Simulation results verify the analytical expression of the outage probability and the proposed propositions, which provide a theoretical support for the design of relaying protocols under the constraint of limited feedback.

The general parameters of SVC system, especially the FC filter network parameters, which strongly depend on power grid system parameter, need to be analyzed and verified, therefore, the parameters of SVC required to be optimized. As to the case of SVC, in order to solve the problem of the complicated design process, this paper develops a software platform of SVC system parameter optimization design and analysis. The interface of the software platform is concise and friendly, and involves an area widely. The overall design of software platform is well modular. Each module is centered on database. The input and output of data are very convenience. Not only all parameters of SVC system, including the rated voltage, rated current, rated power, and error range etc., can be worked out quickly by the platform, even including the models of some commonly used devices, but also it can simulate operation effect of SVC in alliance with MATLAB/SIMULINK. Through simulation analysis the optimal parameters can be obtained. By this software platform in design process of SVC, the amount of design work is largely reduced, the design cycle is largely shortened, and all this are benefit to the industrialization of SVC. © 2012 IEEE.

For PPF, there are several topologies, each of which has different frequency characteristic. In power system, in order to achieve the certain filtering effect, it is necessary to combine different filter topologies. Currently, the selection of PPF topologies is based on the engineering practical experience of PPF designer. However, there is a lack in systematic design method and scientific design basis. For this reason, this paper, taking the filtering effect and filters cost as the design indices, deeply investigates the selection problem of PPF topologies, and proposes a selection method of PPF topologies. The research results show that the most reasonable combination of different filter topologies can be obtained by this method for different situation needed to mitigate harmonic and compensate reactive power. © 2012 IEEE.

Firstly, the design of PPF is to meet the requirements of filtering effect. Meanwhile it is restricted by the power factor, economic indicators and other conditions. Traditional design method, which is usually based on one economic and technical indexes or engineering experience, is too dependent on experience and unable to reach the optimum design. This paper present a design method of PPF based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the initial investment cost of PPF, reactive power compensation capacity and the filtering effect are taken as three optimization goals. This method is validated by a simulation power system experiments. The experimental results show that the optimization design method of PPF is correct and effective. And the optimized PPF has good comprehensive performance. © 2012 IEEE.

Subsequently, isothermal aging and hot rolling followed by aging treatment were carried out. The microstructure and phase composition were characterised by optical microscope, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. Electrical conductivity was measured by using an eddy current based technique. The results show that the electrical conductivities of as cast Cu-Ni-Si alloys decrease obviously with a decline in Cu content. Isothermal aging is favourable to enhance the electrical conductivities of Cu-Ni-Si alloys with higher than 90%Cu content rather than that with ,90%Cu content containing an integrated netted structure of grain boundary phases. The electrical conductivities of as rolled Cu-Ni-Si alloys can obviously be increased by subsequent aging treatment. The above results suggest that the disintegration of the integrated netted structure at the grain boundary is a promise to achieve high electrical conductivity for Cu-Ni-Si alloys. © 2012 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: The effect of semi-solid isothermal treatments on electrical conductivities of Cu-Ni-Si alloys with the addition of 10 wt.%Ni + Si was studied in conjunction with different solid-state solution treatments. The microstructure and phase composition of as-treated samples were investigated. The results showed that after semi-solid isothermal treatments at 1000°C, both the complete decomposition of δ-Ni2Si phases in Cu-rich solutions and the remelting of eutectic phases at the grain boundaries had occurred. As a result, an abnormal improvement on the electrical conductivities of Cu-Ni-Si alloys could be obtained due to lower scatter effect of Ni and Si atoms on electron movement, resulting from more Ni and Si atoms in Cu-rich solutions entered into the eutectic melts at the grain boundaries by solid-state diffusion. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

This technique has advantages of approximate shift invariance, complete reconstruction and better energy focus. As information entropy reflects abnormal characteristics of short-term system signal, combination of wavelet coefficients and information entropy provides a device for recognition of fault pattern with characteristic entropy used as recognition feature vector. This new method was applied to the monitored signal of pressure fluctuation in a draft tube. Results show that it is effective in extracting fault information. Thus, it opens up a new direction for fault diagnosis of hydraulic machinery. © right.

To match the human translating practice, this study makes Translation Unit (TU) alignment based on a self-made multi-word dictionary when performing computer scoring of over 300 English-Chinese translated texts. It compares the correlations between the number of matched Ngrams and human scorings of meaning, form, and overall quality of translation with those between the number of aligned TUs and scorings. It further explores the predicting power of matched Ngrams and aligned TUs with multiple regression analysis. Research indicates that the number of aligned TUs has higher explanatory power for meaning scoring than overall Ngrams, but lower explanatory power for form and overall scorings. In addition, models with the number of word-based unigrams and aligned TUs as independent variables explain more scorings than those with all Ngrams, and their calculated scores are more consistent with human scorings. Therefore, integrating word-based unigram with TU alignment technology achieves the best predicting effect of human translated texts.

The results indicate that the voltages on different discharge regions of current filament are dynamic, which determines the output current transient characteristics. The physical processes of anode region influenced by the bias voltage of PCSS dominate that the output current presents the characteristic of lock-on or overshoot. The quench of current filament is determined by the external circuit and the carrier recombination process, resulting in the turn-off of high-gain PCSS. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: A novel parameter estimation method for unknown static parameters of the state space model using particle filtering (PF) has proposed in this paper. Traditional methods enlarge state vector by treating the unknown parameter θ as a part of state vector (x k,θ). But this may cause the degeneration of θ , when some estimates become too small to continue as a result of the non-dynamic character of parameters if θ at time k is only determined by time k -1. Compared to traditional methods, this novel method assumes that the posterior distribution of θ is given by previous observation and state vectors, z 1:k and x 1:k. Obtain statistics at time k by using the integration of z 1:k and x 1:k, and solve parameter estimation problem by updating θ recursively. Good results are obtained when this method is used in different models. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The existing drainage system was designed for single objective of water logging control, which neglected equal needs of drought prevention and water quality protection. With the aid of the field hydrology model-DRAINMOD, this paper presents a simulation study of drainage system design considering multiple objectives including maximizing crop yields, minimizing subsurface drainage, and land saving etc. The results show that the optimized subsurface drainage system layout for the study area is placing the drain pipes at depths no deeper than 1.2m and spacing between 18 to 30m. The analysis also shows that replacing the existing open drainage ditches at field level may save land area of more than 10% in the study area.

The friction torque fluctuation varying with the different rotation rate of a ball screw is discussed. The analysis shows that a critical rate exists at different position and a critical preload is likely to occur.

Box 80, Xi'an, 710068, China Abstract: In atmospheric laser communications, light intensity flashing caused by turbulence severely interferes the performance of communication system and increases the bit error rate (BER) of the system. Multi-aperture reception is the effective method to overcome the above interference. The reception areas of multi apertures and the effect of aperture position relation on space smoothing factor are analyzed. The reception performance of three apertures, is mainly analyzed and smoothing factor of multi-aperture reception is compared with that of single-aperture reception. The probability density function of light intensity fluctuation deriving from the Gamma-Gamma channel modeling from weak turbulence band to strong turbulence band is deployed to analyze the BER of multi-aperture reception system. The result shows that multi-aperture reception system can better improve the light intensity fluctuation of reception area and decrease system's BER. With the increase of the number of aperture, the aperture smoothing factor and BER will be decreased.

Box 225-32, Tianjin, 300192, China Abstract: A space-time trellis codes based on free space optical communications (FSO) was presented. The 4-PPM space-time trellis encoder with two transmitting antennas was designed, and then the basic design principle and the coding algorithm were introduced. The multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) channel capacity was analyzed theoretically in the atmospheric optical channel. Finally, based on the Monte Carlo algorithm, optical channel capacity and bit error rate were simulated. The simulation results shows that space-time trellis codes based on FSO can reduce the atmospheric scintillation turbulence effects on bit error rate of atmospheric. When the number of transmit antennas is fixed, the bit error rate will decrease with the increasing number of receiving antenna; when the number of transmit antennas is not fixed, as the number of tranmit antennas increases, the channel capacity will increase.

In order to overcome the disadvantage, the discretization algorithms are applied to the inverse classification algorithms, and the main idea is: firstly, a group of feature attributes are selected by using feature selection algorithm; then, the quantitative attributes are discretized by using discretization algorithms, and the inverted statistics are constructed on the training samples; finally, the test samples are analyzed in order to classify and estimate the missing values. Experimental results on IRIS and Ecoli datasets show that this method could find the class label effectively and estimate the missing values accurately.

It is therefore necessary to quantify NSP loading. We monitored both water flow and water quality at two cross-sections along the Guanzhong river reach near the cities of Xianyang and Lintong for two flooding and non-flooding seasons of 2009 and 2010. The measured parameters include chemical oxygen demand(COD), dissolved orthophosphate, total phosphorus(TP), TP, NH3-N, NO2-N, NO3-N and total nitrogen(TN). NSP loadings are calculated using the modified hydrological division method and the mean concentration method. The latter is proven to be a well-established and widely-used method. The results show that COD, NH3-N and TN constitute the majority of pollutants in the Guanzhong reach. Their mean concentrations are lower but more variable during flooding seasons compared to that of non-flooding seasons. The concentration is inversely proportional to the scale of the floods in the reach. The NSP simulations using the two methods agree well each other, indicating the applicability of the hydrological division method when data is scarce. The two simulations reveal that NSP accounts for about 20% to 30% of the total pollutant loading at the two cross-sections in 2009(a dry year with P=68%). Thus, point source pollution(pollutants discharged from the cities of Xianyang and Lintong) is the main contributor to the water pollution problem in the Guanzhong river reach, as it contributes more than 80% of the total loading. However, compared to 2006 other dry year with P=69%, the point source loadings of COD, NH3-N and TN are actually reduced by 11937 t, 791 t, and 29 t in 2009. This shows the effectiveness in controlling point source of pollution in the Weiher River. In addition, the overall composition of pollution remains almost unchanged in 2006 and 2009, and NSP gives a substantial contribution to water pollution, which cannot be ignored.

We monitored the water quality at different runoff plots in the main urban areas of Xi'an city in 2010 and 2011, and calculated the NSP loadings of the same areas for 2010 (normal year). The results indicate that NSP concentrations were the highest in the initial 20 minutes of each surface runoff process and they were decreasing as rainfall continued. The variations of NSP concentration are the smallest in traffic zones and the greatest in residential zones. In traffic zones, mean concentrations of suspended solid (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and heavy metal were the highest, while in business zones, mean concentrations of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were the highest. Second, the estimations by concentration method and method of monitored rainfall proportion in total rainfall, agree well with each other, indicating that these methods are reliable and applicable to urban NSP loading. In estimating this loading, we found two good methods that verify each other, one summing up each functional zone' loadings calculated using mean concentration and surface runoff, the other using a comprehensive mean concentration and total surface runoff of the city for direct calculation. Third, calculations of the main urban areas in 2010 show that the NSP loadings of SS, COD, NH3-N, TN, TP, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Cr were 12958.5 tons, 3444.2 tons, 141.9 tons, 231.4 tons, 7.5 tons, 0.94 tons, 4.3 tons, 2.2 tons, 1.1 tons and 1.4 tons, respectively. Pollutant export coefficients of traffic zones were the highest, and the ones of green lands the lowest.

This model was fi rst calibrated and tested by historic monitoring data and then the validated model was used to simulate the effects of non-point source (NPS) pollution management measures. The results indicate that reforestation measures, which reduce the amount of runoff, sediment, total nitrogen and total phosphorus, should be adopted in the study watershed to control NPS pollution. The model was also used to assess the effects of other measures on NPS pollution. This study concludes that AnnAGNPS has the potential to be a valuable tool for the planning and management of watersheds in the semi-arid regions of China.

After the slurry cake wall is formed by the slurry seepage through sand samples with some particles gradation under some pressure difference, the seepage experiments of water passing through the frontal face of slurry cake or through the reversal face of slurry cake are carried out under some pressure difference. Through the analysis of test results, the following knowledge are obtained. The cutoff effect of slurry cake bearing with large gradient is significant. There are different seepage characteristics of slurry cakes formed under different pressure differences. The greater the pressure difference when the slurry cake are formed, the more compact the slurry cake is, the stronger the ability is to resist infiltration and damage, the smaller the permeability of the slurry cake is. The impermeability of water passing through reversal face of slurry cake under some pressure difference is smaller than through frontal face of slurry cake under same pressure difference. With the sustaining time of hydraulic action increasing, the structure of slurry cake will change and its seepage velocity also increases. Under the large hydraulic gradient action the slurry cake damage may occur under certain osmotic pressure difference. The critical hydraulic gradient is closely associated with the loading pressure difference of slurry cake formation. The larger the pressure difference is, the larger the critical hydraulic gradient is. On the contrary, the smaller the critical hydraulic gradient is. The above-mentioned knowledge has theoretical and practical importance that the design method and construction technology of cutoff wall in large depth covering layer is improved by investigating the impermeable characteristics of slurry cake.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: Carbon nanotube-based intramolecular junctions can function as rectifying diodes and switches in circuits and thus possesses the promising potential to be applied in nano-scale electronic devices. Due to their slender and unsymmetrical geometry, intramolecular junctions are prone to buckling under compression and the resulting structural instability will eventually leads to structural or electrical failure. Thus, it is important to explore the mechanical behaviors of intramolecular junctions subject to compressive loads. In this study, molecular dynamical simulations are carried out to investigate the compressive behaviors of intramolecular junctions at finite temperature, while carbon nanotubes are also studied as reference. The simulation results indicate that the strain rate effect is negligible within relatively low loading-rate range but the critical strain increases significantly under higher loading rate. At an extremely high strain rate, the intramolecular junctions will crush immediately. It is also predicted that local deformation will be introduced at high environmental temperature. Moreover, with increasing tube length, the instability mode of the intramolecular junctions transfers from shell buckling to column buckling and the critical aspect ratio is lower than that of carbon nanotubes due to presence of the Stone-Wales defects. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Compared with the results of the common finite element methods, it is further proved that the proposed method is reasonable and can more realistically reflect the tensile state of the surrounding rock in the near-surface, the intersecting site of slip surface with surface, the arch crown, the arch and the sidewall bottom, the yield damage of loose rock and the collapse trend of rock mass tunnel, so as to reveal the tensile breaking, fracturing and sloughing of rock. By regarding whether or not the displacement of the arch crown is convergent as the judgement basis, the influences of discrete interface parameters and block sizes on the results are preliminarily discussed, showing that the discrete DFEM is feasible in technical and project application.

Based on long-term engineering experiences and researches, assessment methods for dynamic stability of slopes are discussed, especially for high rock slopes under seismic and blasting loads. The strength characteristics and research emphasis for rock masses under dynamic loads are summarized and put forward. The dynamic responses of rock slope are analyzed systematically. It is pointed out that the dynamic stability of rock slopes should be assessed from three aspects, i.e. the trend of dynamic factor of safety, the dynamic fracturing and sliding of potential sliding surface, and the particle vibration velocity of key points in slopes. Finally, the security assessment of prestressed anchor cables under dynamic loads is proposed.

Since the new slope is close to existing tunnel, the seismic wave induced by blasting endangers the safety and stability of the surrounding rock and the lining of existing tunnel. For a different distance between slope and tunnel, a different rock mass damping ratio, how much safety explosive quantity for single blasting in project is in urgent need of solution. On the basis of the simulation with the dynamic finite element method (FEM), the effects of slope blasting vibration on the surrounding rock and lining structure of adjacent existed tunnel in different distances between slope and tunnel, damping ratio, safety explosive quantity for single blasting are studied, combining with influence of slope blasting on tunnel analysis issue on Jinping I hydropower station left bank project construction. According to the tunnel wall permitted vibration velocity and lining dynamic tensile stress caused by slope blasting vibration wave, obtain maximum explosive quantity of slope blasting constructions considering different damping ratios under different distances between slope and tunnel and different rock types: grade III rock mass, when distance between tunnel and slope equal to 20 and 50 m, the explosive quantity should be controlled in 100 and 300 kg respectively; grade IV rock mass, when distance between tunnel and slope equal to 20 and 50 m, the explosive quantity should be controlled in 150 and 450 kg respectively, and the research results provide the reference and basis to construction and design of the actual project.

Results of the runoff and sediment on the plots indicated that there existed exponential relation between the soil erosion modulus under each rain by unit rainfall erosivity and vegetation cover: M=ae-bF. The results alsoverified that the artificial forage grass generally degraded in 5 th or 6th year after planting, mainly with the decrease of coverage, and needs human management for improving. It is clear that runoff and sediment decreased with the increase of vegetation cover; while with the vegetation degradation, its effectiveness to conserve soil and water also depressed. © 2012 ASCE.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: A simple two-dimensional shear deformable finite beam element is developed in order to examine the effect of the high order interpolation on the modes of deformation of the beam cross section using the ANCF finite element. The new element allows for effect of warping that cannot be captured using previously introduced ANCF beam elements, and relaxes the assumption of planar cross section. The displacement field of the new element is assumed to be cubic in the axial direction and quadratic in the transverse direction. Using this displacement field, new shape functions are formulated and include the quadratic of the transverse direction instead of the linear expression. The displacement gradient and transverse strain component obtained using the new higher order element are introduced. Numerical example is presented in order to compare the results obtained using the new finite element and the results obtained using previously developed ANCF finite element. The results reveal that the cross section remains as a curve surface not a planar one. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: Zirconia (yttria)-alumina ceramic nanocomposites were fabricated from different powders by spark plasma sintering (SPS). One powder was a commercially available nanocomposite powder TZP-3Y20A, consisting of 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3-YSZ) reinforced with 20 wt% alumina, and the other, used as a comparison, was a conventional mechanically mixed powder 3YSZ-20A, a blend made of 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia powder ZrO 2 (3Y) and 20 wt% α-alumina powder. The effect of the sintering temperature on the densification, the sintering behavior, the mechanical properties and the microstructure of the composites was investigated. The results showed that the density increased with increasing sintering temperature, and thus, the mechanical properties were strengthened because of the increased densification. The nanocomposite powder TZP-3Y20A was easily sintered, and good mechanical properties were achieved as compared with the powder from the conventional mechanically mixed method, the maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness of which were 967 MPa and 5.27 MPa m1/2, respectively. © 2011 Chinese Society of Particuology and Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It introduces the concept of co-evolution in biological systems into intelligent computing. The proposed algorithm makes cooperation evolution between the parent cloud droplets during the process of evolution to enhance the viability of the individual partners and the exploratory capability of the algorithm. It effectively ensures the diversity of the cloud droplets in the evolution. It also employs the competition evolution between sub-population to ensure the global convergence and stability of the proposed algorithm. Theory analysis and experiments on 12 widely used benchmark problems show that when compared with the CEBA which only uses individual fitness to control the biological evolution, CECD algorithm is capable of improving search ability, convergence speed, solution quality and algorithm stability. © 2011 IEEE.

In this approach, a SED index system is constructed using AHP from three aspects, the expansibility, sustainability and compatibility of regional economy, society, resources and environments. Delphi method and BN self-learning are used to determine the weight of each index for calculation of various factors of economic development and water resources guarantee ability for the related cities and districts, and BN reasoning algorithm for calculation of the sustainability of regional economy. Then, the relation between changes in water resources index and SED is analyzed. Results show that the SED degrees in the regions of Shanbei and Guanzhong would be enhanced if each index of water resources is increased by 30%. Based on these results, this paper suggests several safeguard measures of water resources for the SED in Shaanxi, hence providing a feasible guideline for development of this province. © right.

Box 162, Bethel, CT 06801-0162, United States Abstract: In this paper we propose an approach which can compute the dense relative affine structure for a pair images. Generally, the algorithms based on the relative affine structure only obtain the sparse parallax of a set of matching points between the pair of images. Firstly, our approach segments each image using the Delaney triangulation, and then compute matching points in the corresponding triangular area with bilinear interpolation. Secondly, though the dense matching points are obtained, there exist some mistaken matching points. As a result, we apply the epipolar geometry constraint to discard these wrong matching points. Finally, we validate the possibility of our approach with experiments. © 2011 by Binary Information Press.

There are various methods for making decisions about water resource planning alternatives and measures with various shortcomings. A comprehensive entropy weight observability-controllability risk analysis approach is presented in this study. Computing methods for entropy weight (EW) and subjective weight (SW) are put forward based on information entropy theory and experimental psychology principles, respectively. Comprehensive weight (CW) consisting of EW and SW is determined. The values of observability-controllability risk (Roc) and gain by comparison (Gbc) are obtained based on the CWs. The quantitative analysis of alternatives and measures is achieved based on Roc and Gbc. A case study on selection of water resource planning alternatives and measures in the Yellow River Basin, China, was performed. Results demonstrate that the approach presented in this study can achieve optimal decision-making results.

This model is developed that considers the axial vibration of drilling shaft containing vibrating cutting force and the hydrodynamic forces of cutting fluid. The linear degrees of freedom will be truncated by using modal synthesis with free-interface but nonlinear degrees of freedom of the system are retained in the physical space, and thus, the DOF of the coupled system are reduced. Further, the updated model is acquired to study the relationship between the axial hole straightness deviation and cutting parameters such as drilling shaft length and drilling depth. Simultaneously, the change rules of the axial hole straightness are obtained for the different position of intermediate supports or different initial deviation, so these can make a good reference for the dynamic design of large-scale drilling machine. Through the combination of theories with experiment, the correctness and effectiveness of the above methods have been verified. © 2012 Journal of Mechanical Engineering.

The conclusions are as follow. Satiable correlation dimension of natural runoff is greater than the measured runoff. For a dynamical model, at least 4 variables and at most 8 variables are needed to depict the variation character of measured runoff, while at least 5-6 and at most 12 for natural runoff. Measured runoff has different chaotic character from that of natural runoff at the same hydrological station in the same time period, and the downstream reach has stronger chaotic character than the upstream. The chaotic character in the period from 1950s to the beginning of this century is somewhat stronger than that of 1920s to 1970s. The chaotic character depends on the length of runoff time series, and longer series has a stronger character. The chaotic character revealed in the present study would be a basis for development of dynamical models and runoff forecast for the Yellow River. © right.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer was used to sample 936 spectra data of seven components gas mixture, including methane, ethane, propane, iso-butane, n-butane, iso-pentane and n-pentane gases. The concentration of each component ranges from 0.01% to 0.1%, 0.01% to 0.1%, 0.01% to 0.15%, 0.0% to 0.1%, 0.0% to 0.1%, 0.0% to 0.05%, and 0.0% to 0.05%, respectively. For analyzing intuitively, partial least square regression (PLSR) was introduced to build the component gas quantitative analysis model. In experiment, DOSC method was compared with first derivative algorithm (FDA) and second derivative algorithm (SDA). In order to get the optimal model, ergodic optimization method was used to select the optimal parameters of the model, i.e. the step of the derivative algorithm, the number of the primary component of the PLSR and the number of orthogonal components of the DOSC algorithm. The experiment results show that DOSC algorithm has the better effect in the field of infrared spectra data pretreating. The average mean relative error (MRE) of the component gas analysis models is 16.58%, which declined by 66.80% from the average MRE before data pretreating 49.93%. Compared with DA, the average MRE declined by 51.51% from 34.19% after pretreated by FDA, and declined by 56.30% from 37.94% after pretreated by SDA. So DOSC method is feasible to pretreat the IR spectra data, and has definite practical and investigation value.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: Bedload sediment is not only a major pollutant, but can also act as a transporter of pollutants. Sediment flow behavior often reflects the characteristics of a watershed, such as land use and management. To clarify the behavior of sediment flow under different spatial scales and storm types in the Chinese purple soil area, the sediment flow behavior in three small agro-watersheds with different catchment areas, physical characteristics and land use types was investigated during natural rainfall events from 1999 to 2000. The results showed that there were three types of sediment hydrographs, waveform or linear with a low sediment concentration (1.13±0.58gl-1), logarithmic decrease (3.41±4.13gl-1), and compound linear and logarithmic decrease (9.58±10.90gl-1). During PP-type rainfall events (high-intensity rainfall occurred during the prophase of the rainfall process) and ML-type rainfall events (high intensity rainfall occurred during the middle of the rainfall event), the waveform or linear type sediment hydrographs or the logarithmic decrease type hydrographs were generated in each of the three agro-watersheds. However, sediment hydrographs produced by IM-type rainfall events (discontinuous rainfall with obvious segments) depended on the spatial scale of the watershed. As the spatial scale decreased, the hydrographs were transformed from the logarithmic decrease type to the compound type. In addition, it was found that the S=aQb model could effectively simulate the sediment hydrologic process of a single rainfall event. The information provided in this study will help evaluate and prevent soil and water loss and non-point source pollution in the purple soil region. © 2009.

The results show that: The labyrinth path has great disturbance on the flow, making the laminar flow change into the transition region when Reynolds number is 41.5; the laminar flow may occur in the labyrinth units at the entrance section which accounts for 10%-12% of the whole labyrinth units. as a whole, the flow pattern can be regarded as turbulence or transition region; unlike the classical Reynolds test, the head loss in the labyrinth path is proportional to the 2.0-2.5th power of average velocity of section; the flow pattern index of labyrinth emitter can be 0.4-0.5; and the critical Reynolds number of flow state conversion between transition region and the turbulence ranges from 87.5 to 125.0 in the test.

Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, United States Abstract: A novel higher order singular value decomposition (HOSVD)-based image fusion algorithm is proposed. The key points are given as follows: 1) Since image fusion depends on local information of source images, the proposed algorithm picks out informative image patches of source images to constitute the fused image by processing the divided subtensors rather than the whole tensor; 2) the sum of absolute values of the coefficients (SAVC) from HOSVD of subtensors is employed for activity-level measurement to evaluate the quality of the related image patch; and 3) a novel sigmoid-function-like coefficient-combining scheme is applied to construct the fused result. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an alternative image fusion approach. © 1992-2012 IEEE.

The microstructure and phase constituents of the CuW pseudo alloy prepared were characterized by a scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, and the arc erosion behavior was also evaluated by arcing test. The CuO powders, instead of the induced copper powders, were introduced into W nanopowders. CuW pseudo alloy with uniform structures of Cu and W phases was obtained when 11 wt.% CuO powders were introduced into W nanopowders. In comparison to the conventional CuW pseudo alloy, the sizes of W skeleton and the infiltrated Cu phase were reduced remarkably and both the hardness and electrical conductivity were increased. The arc erosion resistance was increased due to the split characteristic of the cathode spot for the CuW pseudo alloy prepared by W-CuO nanopowders. The appropriate addition of induced copper can improve the distribution of Cu and W phases, and promote the subsequent infiltration of the molten Cu due to pre-wetting the surface of W skeleton. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Box 125, Shenyang, 110005, China Abstract: To more reasonably partition fuzzy spaces during online identification of T-S model, a calculation method on overlap coefficient between two fuzzy spaces is proposed. In this method, the overlap coefficient can be derived by the centre distance between two contiguous clusters. In addition, an online T-S model identification algorithm which has higher identification accuracy can be obtained through the integration of this method, least square (LS) algorithm and recursive least square (RLS) algorithm. Based on the data of thermal field from a single crystal furnace, the thermal field model is on-line identified by this identification algorithm. Simulation results show that the single crystal furnace thermal field model identified by this method has higher precision.

A weighted feedback component that bases on the traditional T-S fuzzy model, is introduced in TFM-RR, and produces a new firing strength of the current rule from the weighted sum of the current firing strength and the previous firing strength. Thus, the firing strength of a rule varies dynamically and recursively, and effectively describes the dynamic process of the system. In order to make TFM-RR has fewer rules and good generalization capabilities, parameters of the antecedent of a rule are achieved using a fuzzy clustering algorithm that bases on the firing strength of the rule, while parameters of the consequent and the recursion are achieved by an integrated identification method that combines the support vector machine and a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Simulation results and comparisons with the hybrid clustering method on Box-Jenkins gas furnace show that the TFM-RR and its identification algorithm significantly reduce the mean variance by 1.2%, and show a better dynamic description ability.

In contrast to the planar graphene, in silicene the Si atoms are not coplanar. As a result, by applying perpendicular fields to the two-dimensional silicene sheet, the on-site energy can be modulated and the band gap at the Dirac point is open. The buckled structure also creates a height difference between the two edges of the silicene zigzag nanoribbons. We find that the external fields can modulate the energies of spin-polarized edge states and their corresponding band gaps. Due to the polarization in the plane, the modulation effect is width dependent and becomes much more significant for narrow ribbons. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.

The results show that the number and shape of scroll buttresses produce a great effect on the hydraulic parameters and turbine performances, particularly on the uniformity of vertical inflow profile at the runner inlet where the flow rate in the vane spacing increases in upward direction. This effect can extend to the flow rate in the spacing of stay vanes. The buttress tail that twists toward the worm inlet, could effectively guide the flow toward the worm and distribute the flow more evenly along the circumference. Thus through a better design of scroll buttresses the efficiency and stability of hydraulic turbine is improved and the life of turbine will be extended.

The form, depth and size of the defects in etched silicon carbide (SiC) crystals were observed by LSCM. Using these 3D LSCM images, defective structures varying in the growth direction were observed from a side view for the first time. To study the size, depth and form of defect etch pits in detail, we observed the defect etch pits configuration in some volumes through taking 3D LSCM pictures. Information on defects obtained using this approach will be very helpful for investigation of MP and SD formation mechanism in conducting SiC substrates, as well as the observation of polytype stability in nitrogen-doped SiC crystals. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: The spectra of 6HSiC crystals including micropipes have been examined for the Si face using Raman scattering. The first-order Raman features reveal that the intensity of the transverse optical phonon band centered at ∼796 cm -1 is sensitive to the micropipes. And the second-order Raman features of the micropipes in bulk 6HSiC are well-defined using the selection rules for second-order scattering in wurtzite structure. It is found that there are some second-order peaks missing for the micropipe-including sample, which may be induced by the reduction of the incident laser intensity at around the micropipe, especially the uneven surface in the inner wall of the micropipe. These features might also be employed to characterize other structural defects such as screw-dislocations and threading edge dislocations. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: The availability of large high-quality silicon carbide (SiC) single crystals is a key issue in the development of the full potential of SiC-based device technology. In this letter, 4H-SiC crystals were grown on the (0001¯) substrates with 4°off-orientation toward <11¯00>. It had been found that there existed high density stacking faults (SFs) at the boundary between the 15R- and 4H-polytype. The HR-TEM observation revealed that this kind of SFs was of the 3C-SiC polytype. Meanwhile, the Raman spectra from these SFs suggested that the peaks at ∼ 782 and ∼ 796 cm-1 were both sensitive to SFs. Especially, the band at ∼ 782 cm-1 can be the feature peak for identifying SFs with 15R inclusion. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Box 51, Xi'an, 721014, China Abstract: The Mo-Si alloy sheets with different silicon contents were fabricated by powder-metallurgical processing, and static tensile tests were performed at 25, 300, 800 and 1200°C, respectively. The effect of test temperatures on mechanical properties, facture mode and microstructure of Mo-Si alloys were studied. The results indicate that with increasing of tensile test temperature, the strength of the pure Mo and Mo-Si alloy sheets decrease dramatically, the elongation shows an increasing trend at lower 300°C and then decreasing at higher temperatures. The fracture mode of molybdenum alloy sheets transform from transgranular cleavage fracture at room temperature to dimple fracture at 300 and 800°C, and then to intergranular fracture at 1200°C. The strengthening mechanism analysis results show that the strengthening of Mo-Si alloy originates from particle dispersion strengthening and solid solution strengthening at room temperature. While, at elevated temperature the role of solid solution strengthening weakens significantly and the particle dispersion strengthening and grain coarsening are main strengthening modes.

The present paper proposed different profit models under two types of market structure of monopoly and duopoly. To solve these models, backward induction method was employed, which is evaluated as an effiective approach in settling the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium. Then, feasible plans for production mode selection with regard to different conditions were obtained through systematical analyses of selecting either mass production or mass customization under monopoly, and different combined decisions of mass production and mass customization under duopoly. The research results contribute to providing theory and method support for manufacturing enterprises to make decisions on production mode selection under two types of market structure of monopoly and duopoly.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: Confronted with the dynamic and complex market environments, the traditional conveyor assembly line can no longer meet customers' demands effectively. The way of reconfiguring conveyor assembly line to a more flexible manufacturing system has been attracting considerable attention both in the academics and production practices. Seru system, also called assembly cell system, is regarded as one of the most successful innovations of manufacturing system in reconfiguring conveyor assembly line. Such a manufacturing system merges considerable flexibility of job shops and high efficiency of conveyor assembly lines to some extent. In this paper, we investigate the problem of how to reconfigure conveyor assembly line to serus. A comprehensive mathematical model incorporating two issues of how many serus should be established and how many workers should be assigned to each seru is developed. Then the model is investigated by an industrial case and compared to Kaku's model with respect to the selected plan. The computation results validate that the proposed model is more suitable to analyze the reconfiguration problems from conveyor assembly line to serus. © 2012 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

As in other semi-arid regions, convective precipitation produces storms, typically of short duration, relatively high intensity and limited areal extent. Infiltration excess (Hortonian mechanism) of precipitation is conventionally assumed to be more prominent than saturation excess (Dunne mechanism) for storm runoff generation. This assumption is true at a point during the storm. However, the runoff generation mechanism is altered when the runoff is conditioned by a lateral redistribution movement of water, i.e. run-on, as the spatial scale increases. In the Loess Plateau, the effects of run-on may be significant, because of the deep and loose surface soil layer. In this study, the role of run-on for overland flow in the Upper Wei River basin, located in the Loess Plateau, is evaluated by means of a simple numerical model at the hillslope scale. The results show that almost all the Hortonian overland flow infiltrates into the soil along the flat hillslope and dry gully before it reaches the river channel. Most of the runoff is generated from the saturated soil near the river channel and from the subsurface. The run-on process takes much longer than the infiltration, facilitating rainfall-runoff modelling at a daily time step. A hydrological model is employed to investigate the characteristics of runoff generation in the Upper Wei River basin. The analysis shows that the subsurface flow contribution to total streamflow is more than 53% from October to March, while the overland flow contribution exceeds 72% from April to September. © 2012 Copyright 2012 IAHS Press.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: The riparian vegetation is highly dependent on the groundwater which is recharged by the river in arid regions. Water is the most important limiting factor for riparian vegetation in arid regions. From 1970s to 2000, the lower Tarim River almost dried up and the groundwater table fell down obviously. The riparian vegetation degraded seriously due to the low groundwater table. From 2000 to 2006, water transfers were implemented in the lower Tarim River to restore the ecological environment. Although the observation of groundwater and vegetation was carried out along lower Tarim River, the dynamics of the groundwater and vegetation along the cross section of the river were unknown. Ecohydrological evolution model on Riparian Vegetation in hyper-arid regions (ERV model) is a distributed ecohydrological model and has been validated at Yingsu in lower Tarim River. In this paper, the ERV model is applied to analyze the ecohydrological effect of water transfers at Alagan in lower Tarim River. At the same time, the ERV model is further validated. The simulation result is validated by observed groundwater table and vegetation coverage computed from remote sensing data. The result shows that the average groundwater table at Alagan increased by 4.74m from 2000 to 2006 and the average groundwater depth reached 6.36m. The average vegetation coverage increased from 0.130 to 0.194. In order to recover the green corridor, the further water transfers are required. The results are helpful for the ecohydrological research and water resources management in lower Tarim River. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

To examine critically the state-of-the-art assumptions and dynamic equations used in the evolution study of an ecohydrological system, the rule of proceeding from simplicity to complexity should be followed. The riparian vegetation ecohydrological system in hyperarid regions (e.g. the lower Tarim River) can serve as a starting point given its simplicity, which has been seldom examined before in terms of system evolution. Further, the water transfer practice from 2000 to 2006 in the lower Tarim River serves as a valuable prototype experiment for model validation. This is because the remarkable changes in groundwater and vegetation in the area have taken place within a shorter period and thus can be easily observed. In the present study, the ecohydrological evolution model on riparian vegetation (ERV model) in hyperarid regions was proposed by coupling groundwater movement and vegetation dynamics. In the ERV model, the groundwater table serves as a critical feedback variable that determines the vegetation dynamics (colonization and mortality) and is determined by vegetation transpiration other than groundwater movement. The monitored groundwater table by wells and satellite-observed vegetation coverage from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer are used for model validation. The simulation results show the good performance of the ERV model with uncalibrated parameters. It was also calibrated manually using a multiobjective method, and the fine-tuned parameters are close to the uncalibrated ones, indicating the robustness of the model. The analysis shows further that the increased evapotranspiration is substantially due to the water transfer and thus the vegetation growth, which implies the importance of ecohydrological coupling for long-term hydrological modelling. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

First, most of existing SR algorithms can not cope with local motions and hence not suitable for most video sequences. Second, the blurring operator is assumed to be known in advance and be a constant for all the low-resolution images. Finally, SR noise is assumed to be either Gaussian or Laplacian. To overcome these limitations, a general local cost function is proposed that consists of weighted L1-and L2-norms considering the SR noise model. In this function, the weights are generated according to the error of registration and noise distribution, and the inaccurately registered parts of the image are penalized. Both the super-resolved images and blurring operators are estimated at the same time. Both objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Due to the lack of translation invariance of WBCT, image denoising by means of WBCT would lead to Gibbs-like phenomena. In the paper, cycle spinning-based technique is applied to develop translation invariant WBCT denoising scheme. Many simulation experiments with images contaminated by additive white Gaussian noise demonstrate that the performance of the proposed approach substantially surpasses that of previously wavelets methods using the cycle spinning both visually and in terms of the PSNR values, especially for the images that include mostly fine textures and contours. © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.

Scanning electron microscopy is used for the analysis of sample worn surface configuration and determination of wear mechanism. The results show that without electric current the wear mechanism of Ti3SiC2 is mainly mechanical wear, the friction coefficient reduces with increasing load to a minimum value of 0.32 at a load of 120 N. Under the current carrying conditions, the main wear mechanisms of Ti3SiC2 are arc erosion and mechanical wear, the wear rate of the Ti3SiC2 decreases with increasing load to a lowest value of 2.2×10-6 mm3/(N·m) at a load of 120 N, which is close to that under the no current carrying conditions. Ti3SiC2 shows good current carrying tribological properties under high load and different current.

Paralleling process is divided into power transmission and closing process. During power transmission, tie-line power fluctuation depends on the reference power and control system performance. At the moment of closing tie-line circuit breaker, tie-line power fluctuation is considered as the fluctuation caused by power shortage in interconnected AC system, and power fluctuation peak can be calculated through second-order system step response overshoot, power fluctuation peak is mainly determined by the ratio of inertia constants of power systems on both sides and the damping ratio of area oscillation mode. PSCAD simulation results suggest that theoretical values are basically the same as simulation results, and this method can accurately describe the paralleling dynamic process.

Box 81, Beijing, 100095, China Abstract: The rigid visco-plastic finite element method was used for the study on the coupling thermal-mechanical numerical simulation of reciprocating extrusion process of AZ31 magnesium alloy. The influence of initial temperature of blank, extrusion velocity and friction factor on the equivalent strain, equivalent stress and temperature field of reciprocating extrusion process was investigated. The results show that the extrusion velocity has little effect on the peak value of equivalent strain, with the increasing of the extrusion velocity, the peak value of temperature within the workpiece ascends linearly, the temperature distribution becomes more inhomogeneous, while the peak value of stress first increases and then decreases.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: Electrical signals in plants play the role of biological messages. It is significant to make them understood. In order to acquire the basic characteristics of the electrical signal in corn, wavelet soft-threshold de-noising method was introduced to reduce the noise for the acquisition signals. The amplitudes of electrical signals in corn were μV level, and the frequencies were below 1Hz, large parts of which were lower than 0.5Hz. The amplitudes were large, and the distribution of power spectrum was stable when the environment temperature between 20°C and 35°C. The ratio of signal below 0.1Hz gained when the temperature was above 35°C, while the amplitude reduced obviously. It can be considered that the disappearance of the high frequency and the reducing of the amplitudes were the signs of cell vital activity subsiding. Thus, it is possible to achieve the prediction life status according to the amplitudes and the frequencies of electrical signals in plants. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: In most cases, the normal force applied to mechanical systems with friction is supposed to be constant for convenience. However, through experiments, normal vibration has been proved to have an effect on the stability of mechanical systems. Aiming at uncover the effects of the varying normal force on the stick slip motion, a belt driven system with LuGre friction is investigated. The driving velocity is considered as the critical parameter for stick slip occurrence. By means of the Jacobian matrix and the Taylor expansion, the critical driving velocity is achieved analytically as a function of frequency and acceleration of the varying normal force. In addition, the influence of the varying normal force on the size of limit cycles is also studied numerically. Results show that the variation of the applied normal force has an obviously effect on the stability of mechanical systems, and it should not be ignored in the structure design and the stability analysis for high precision mechanical systems. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

The nonlinearity of friction can lead to the occurrences of unstable behavior of the feed servo system, such as stick-slip motion and oscillation. The crossfeed servo system of a heavy-duty lathe with closed loop control subjected to friction is studied in this article. The multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) mechanical and mathematical models of the crossfeed servo system are established. In the models, the torsional stiffness of shaft, meshing stiffness of gears, ballscrew-nut pair contacting stiffness, axial stiffness of the bearing, and the ballscrew and the kinematical friction force between up and down guideways are considered. The weakest link of the mechanical transmission system of the feed system is found by simulations. In the field test, the critical stick slip feed velocity at different feed position is measured by the Renishaw XL laser interferometer. And the relation curve of the critical stick slip velocity versus the axial stiffness of the ballscrew is obtained. The change tendency of the simulation results and that of the experimental results matches well. The research conclusions can provide a theoretical support for the optimal design and performance prediction of the feed servo system of heavy-duty lathes. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: In order to study the environmental effect on fatigue properties of die-cast magnesium alloys, several fatigue tests were performed for AM50HP and AZ91HP in ambient air, vacuum, engine oil, deionized water and 3.5% NaCl solution. It is found that the S-N curves are steeper in corrosive environment and AM50HP shows a higher sensitivity to the action of 3.5% NaCl solution than AZ91HP. Both alloys do not have endurance limits in 3.5% NaCl solution, whereas endurance limits could be detected in ambient air, which are about 90MPa and 100MPa for AZ91HP and AM50HP respectively. It is also found that FCP rate is substantially increased in corrosion media: the presence of oxygen causes the production of oxide film on the fresh surfaces made during the cyclic loading and the oxide film would restrict the deformation of the matrix beneath the hard film and promote hydrogen embrittlement in the wet condition. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

Due to the electric field concentration effect presented by the hole, the time dependent fields of stress, strain and polarization can be determined using the finite element method. It is found that the electric field concentration factor by a hole can achieve 6times of the applied loads and shows slightly time dependence; the creep of polarization and strains process is controlled by the local electric field magnitude, which governs the saturation of remnant polarization and strain. The result of principal strain difference around a hole agrees with the birefringence observation. This confirms the established birefringence-strain correlation by the previous experimental study. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

The power-exponent functions in model coefficient matrix are linearized to simplify the unified discrete model based on CCM and DCM. According to the voltage and current characteristics of simplified model, the objective function is designed. Optimal control strategy is deduced by substituting model states into objective function and minimizing the objective function. According to the recursion states and optimal control, the operation mode of simplified model is decided by itself and the output of model provides the optimization output track. For compensating the control error caused by parasitic parameters in actual converter system, the optimal control is modified according to the output error of actual system and model. In this paper, the simplified unified discrete model of Boost converter is founded, optimal control is obtained, and digital PI is adopted to adjust control error. Simulation and experimental results validate that the output voltage of converter can be controlled with fast response and without impulse voltage in starting period, and the output voltage of converter can be controlled accurately and quickly on various work conditions.

Box 51, Xi'an, 721014, China Abstract: Four kinds of Mo targets with different microstructures were sputtered by the same sputtering line under the same sputtering process. Microstructures (face and fractured cross-section) of sputtered films were analyzed with SEM, and the orientation of crystals and square resistance were measured with XRD and four-probe array method, respectively. Influence of Mo target's microstructure on deposition rate and square resistance of the sputtered film were discussed. Results show that the sputtering film's morphology of different Mo-targets is rarely different. When Mo targets are with 80% fine grains under 50 μm, the uniformity of sputtering film's thickness and resistance are satisfied. The preferred orientation of Mo sputtered film is mostly (110). The target microstructures have little effect on sputtering film crystals' orientation. When the Mo target's grain size is finer and the area rate of grain boundary is higher, the sputtering film has faster deposition velocity and the sputtering film's thickness is larger. The thickness reduction of sputtering target is more homogeneous, which raises the utilization rate of sputtering targets. Copyright © 2012, Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research.

The thermosensitive microgels were prepared by emulsion polymerization, and turbidity, dynamic light scattering, and differential scanning calorimetry measurements were carried out. In MIR spectra, carbonyl bands consist of three components due to double, single, and zero hydrogen-bonding carbonyl groups as verified by density functional theory calculations. The relative intensities changed critically at the volume phase transition temperature upon heating. In NIR spectra, two absorbance peaks around 5,900 cm-1 were observed, which can be assigned to the first overtone of C-H bands. Both of them undergo red shifts during the phase transition in a similar way to that of fundamental bands in MIR spectra. The result suggests that NIR spectroscopy may be a new general method that can provide new information for research on hydration of thermosensitive microgels. © Springer-Verlag 2012.

However, the blur contained in the low-resolution images will result in inaccurate registration and an unsatisfactory reconstruction result. Therefore, this paper introduces a blurred image sub-pixel registration method based on Non-Maxima Suppression (NMS). By analyzing the relationship between the image edge energy and the registration precision, NMS technology is used to extract the local gradient magnitude maximum point set adaptively, which is used for image registration as strong information. Experimental results show that this method can improve the registration accuracy of blur low-resolution images. © 2011 IEEE.

According to the obvious anisotropy and three-dimensional characteristics of watershed feature, based on multifractal theory, the GIS-based qualification model and its realization method of multifractal spectrums of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology was established firstly in the paper. Based on the established model and DEM data of study watersheds, multifractal spectrums and its main parameters of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology of seven typical sub-watersheds in Chabagou watershed were calculated and analyzed, and the multifractal features of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology of the seven study sub-watersheds and geomorphologic meanings of multifractal spectrums and its main parameters were studied finally. The results indicated that: 1) the qualification model established in the paper could be used to realize direct qualification of multifractal spectrums and its main parameters of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology; 2) the three-dimensional geomorphologies of the five sub-watersheds had significant multifractal features; 3) the multifractal spectrum and its main parameters could express the total three-dimensional geomorphologic characteristics of a watershed more sensitively and comprehensively than the simple fractal, and could scientifically represent and emphasize inner fine structure and abnormity partial variations of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology. The results in the paper provide a new approach and thought for synthetical and scientifical qualification of watershed three-dimensional geomorphology.

However, when applied to classification problems in a supervised setting, LPP only focuses on the intraclass geometrical information while ignores the interaction of samples from different classes. To enhance the performance of LPP in classification, a new algorithm termed as Semi-supervised Discriminative Orthogonal locality preserving projections (SDOLPP) is proposed in this paper. SDOLPP takes into account the labeled and unlabeled samples, changes the objective function, and then orthogonalizes the basis vectors of the face subspace. The proposed method was compared with LPP, DOLPP and SLPP on the AR and YaleB face databases. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed approach. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.

This paper presents a robust background subtraction algorithm which reduces the influence of illumination changes and shadows and adapts to rapid changes in the traffic scene. A statistical background modeling method is presented, which is based on a histogram at the pixel level and produces a color model from a series of frames. For foreground detection, we propose the Choquet integral to fuse the three color-component similarity measures and a texture similarity measure based on a uniform local binary pattern. Finally, we propose a new adaptive background maintenance method. The experimental results for several dataset videos show that the proposed method is more efficient, robust, and accurate than classical approaches. © 2012 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

A time-dependent mathematical model is established to describe the pressure distribution of gas-lubricated journal bearing with nonlinearity. The rigid rotor supported by a fixed-tilting-pad self-acting gas-lubricated journal bearing is modeled. The differential transformation method has been employed to solve the timedependent gas-lubricated Reynolds equation, and the dynamic motion equation has been solved by the direct integral method. The unbalanced responses of the rotor system supported by fixed-tilting-pad gaslubricated journal bearings are analyzed by the orbit diagram, Poincare´map, time series, and spectrum diagram. The numerical results reveal periodic, period-3, and quasiperiodic motions of nonlinear behaviors of the system. Finally, the effects of pivot ratio and preload coefficient on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the fixed-tilting-pad self-acting gaslubricated journal bearing-rotor system are investigated. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

Effect of process parameters on the physical properties of the ceramic material was investigated. The friction and wear behavior of the prepared material was analyzed. The results demonstrate that Ti3AlC2ceramic material with a high density is fabricated by the reactive sintering at a molar ratio of Ti/Al/C of 3.0:1.2:2.0 and 1300°C for 0.5 h. The content of Ti3AlC2in the material was 94.6%, and the porosity was only 9.4%. The content of Ti3AlC2 was lower at a lower sintering temperature. A higher sintering temperature could lead the material to be composed. The main wear mechanism at a lower load was an abrasive wear that was caused by the shedding of Ti3AlC2 particles and the rheologic behavior of worn surface. The wear mechanism at a higher load was scratch and slight adhesive wear.

The analysis result shows that water content increasing, consolidation pressures increasing, and shearing would cause structural damage of loess. With the water content increasing, structural damage of loess is more prominent by compression and shearing. When consolidation pressures are much larger, structural damage of intact loess by compression and shearing is significant, and the secondary structure and shearing-compression are increasing. Based on structural parameter proposed by comparing with the stress ratios of intact loess and saturated remolded loess during triaxial experiments, and utilizing the stress ratio damage equation and strain damage equation, the structural damage evolution equation is proposed by regarding structural damage loess as complex materials composed of intact loess and destructured loess. Based on the intact loess following Hooke's law and normal consolidation loess following modified Cambridge model, the elastoplastic damage constitutive equation is proposed by regarding deformation of destructured loess as elastic deformation of intact loess and elastoplastic deformation of normal consolidation loess. Meanwhile, the rationality of constitutive relationship is tested and verified by comparing and analyzing test curves under different moistures and theoretical curves described by the elastoplastic constitutive model proposed in this paper.

Wavelet transform is an effective way to correctly detect signal singularity. This paper develops a method combining mode decomposition and wavelet transform. In this method, singular signal is detected by wavelet transform, then the singular points are removed and new data are reconstructed using the signal details and certain approximate coefficients. Simulation results show a good agreement of the reconstructed signal with the original one. The proposed EMD wavelet analysis on monitoring data has a practical value and it is vital to fault recognition and description of hydraulic generator state.

The Logistic map is used to encrypt the feature extracted from the original image, then the generated watermark is embedded into the middle-frequency DCT coefficients of each block after being ordered in zigzag manner based on invariance properties of DCT coefficients before and after JPEG compressions. As for authentication, firstly, the feature information is extracted after decryption, and compared it with reconstructed feature information, then, the tamper matrix is generated. Finally, recover the invalid blocks by using bicubic interpolation. Experimental results illustrate that the watermarked image has good imperceptibility and can tolerate the common content-preserving image processing. It is also sensitive to malicious manipulations and can localize and recover tampered regions approximately. © 2005 - 2012 JATIT & LLS.

Under this condition, based on the analysis of proportional resonant control algorithm structure of grid side converter, an improved feed-forward control strategy including the information of both grid voltage and rotor current differential signal was proposed according to the input and output power balance relationship. Power balance between the input and output can be maintained by adjusting rotor current differential signal. Compared to conventional proportional-resonant control, the robustness of the grid side converter to the disturbance of both grid voltage and rotor converter load was improved by the proposed control strategy, and the dynamic performance of the system was also be greatly enhanced. Simulation and experiment results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

The meshless method based only on nodes is very suitable for solving those typical questions. A new method for crack approximation is introduced. Based on the idea of partition of unity, one Heaviside function accounting for the displacement discontinuity along the crack faces and four enriched functions near the crack tip in order to capture the singularity of the asymptotic crack tip displacement fields are enriched in the function of moving least square (MLS) approximation. Then the linear discrete system of equilibrium differential equations is derived by using the Galerkin method and the interaction integral method to evaluate the stress intensity factors is presented. Compared with other styles of enriched meshless, one advantage of this methods is that the visibility criterion is not to be used around the crack tip. Therefore, r1/2 singularity is reproduced very well. The second advantage is that the domain of influence of the nodes not changed by the passage of the crack, holding the equations of sparsity, leading to rather high computations. Numerical simulations illustrate that the approach can effectively model the discontinuities, and it has practical merits.

In order to represent the discontinuous displacement field along contact surface and stress singularity around the contact surface tip, a discontinuous function and asymptotic crack tip displacement fields are added to the standard displacement formula based on the idea of partition of unity. Then, combined with frictional contact laws, a linear complementary model with the meshless method is formulated. In this approach, contact interface equations are discretized by contact point-discretization; and the global discretized system equation are transformed into a standard linear complementary problem that can be solved readily by using the Lemke method.

The algorithm used a multicast tree formed by the predecessor orientation method to represent an artificial fish, and divided the search space into feasible region and infeasible region. The artificial fishes in the feasible region and the infeasible region were given different moving objectives, respectively. The behavior operator was designed to adaptively implement four behaviors of artificial fish. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively make use of the infeasible individuals and performs better in searching least-cost multicast tree with delay constraint.

The effects of different casing treatments to the flow range and performance of the centrifugal compressor stage are studied numerically. The results indicate that traditional inlet recirculation at impeller inlet does not extend the stall margin of the stage and the performance deteriorates due to the adding of the extra device. The study also shows that, when the location of the bleed slot moves downstream, the performance of the stage deteriorates due to the longer flow path. Moreover, the 2mm depth circumferential casing grooves extend the stall margin by about 12.05%. By contrast, the 6mm depth and 10mm depth grooves extend the stall margin by 3% and 2.4% respectively.

The results show that Zn70Cu30 alloy is the best precursor to form NPC with uniform structures. The addition of NH4Cl into HCl aqueous solution increases the corrosion rate, which favors the fabrication of uniform porous structures. A solution of 1M NH4Cl+HCl is suitable for dealloying Zn70Cu30 alloy. To reduce the shale-defects, the Zn70Cu30 alloy should be annealed at 530°C.

Assumed that the soil characteristics spatial variability can be directly reflected from the changes of infiltration coefficient, taken the border irrigation experiments conducted in Yangling District with the clay loam and sandy loam as study objects, the effects of the soil characteristics spatial variability to irrigation performance were analyzed and the changes of irrigation performance of border irrigation were revealed. Results showed that irrigation efficiency, distribution uniformity and storage efficiency decreased with the infiltration variation coefficient increased. The decrease range of the irrigation application efficiency and storage efficiency was smaller respectively compared with that of distribution uniformity. Therefore the spatial variability of soil infiltration coefficient has greater effect on distribution uniformity than the irrigation application efficiency and storage efficiency. The method proposed in this paper can much better reflect the actual irrigation performance of border irrigation and provide a proper irrigation scheme with theoretical foundation and technological support.

An extremely complex engineering problem appears by achieving mechanical balance for the dam body. To reinforce the left dam foundation concrete pads refilling faults, huge concrete piles and consolidation grouting together with grout and drainage curtains are investigated and executed. The numerical results show that these reinforcement measures for the excavated dam foundation improved significantly the rock mass deformability and its stability. A suitable excavation sequence for reinforcement tunnels and caverns is studied and the stability of these tunnels is analysed. The influence of consolidation grouting on the slope stability is investigated by varying spacing and number of active grouting holes. During the construction of the reinforcement tunnels the vibrations induced by blasting are simulated and measured. For different distances between tunnels and slope to tunnels respectively, the maximum quantity of explosives for single drives is studied. © 2012 Ernst & Sohn Verlag fu¨r Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co.

The multilayers with multiple twins exhibit hardness higher than those with single or coplanar twins, indicative of a significant strengthening effect of the multiple twins. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The supplying supported feed phase included feed solution and di(2-ethyhexyl) phosphoric acid (HDEHP) as the carrier in kerosene, and supplying stripping phase included HDEHP as the carrier in kerosene and HCl as the stripping agent. The effects of volume ratio of membrane solution to feed solution (O/F), pH, initial concentration of Ni(II) and ionic strength in the feed solution, volume ratio of membrane solution to stripping solution (O/S), concentration of H2SO4 solution, HDEHP concentration in the supplying stripping phase on transport of Ni(II), the advantages of DSSLM compared to the traditional supported liquid membrane (SLM), the system stability, the∼reuse of∼membrane∼solution and the retention of membrane phase were studied. Experimental results indicated that the optimum transport of Ni(II) was obtained when H2SO4 concentration was 2.00 mol·L-1, HDEHP concentration was 0.120 mol·L-1, and O/S was 4: 1 in the supplying stripping phase, O/F was 1: 10 and pH was 5.20 in the supplying feed phase. The ionic strength in supplying feed phase had no obvious effect on transport of Ni(II). When initial Ni(II) concentration was 2.00×10-4 mol/L, the transport percentage of Ni(II) was up to 93.1 in 250 min. The kinetic equation was deduced in terms of the law of mass diffusion and the interface chemistry. © 2012 Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC) and Chemical Industry Press (CIP).

Box 101161, Weinheim, D-69451, Germany Abstract: Although histological analysis serves as a gold standard to cancer diagnosis, its application on skin cancer detection is largely prohibited due to its invasive nature. To obtain both the structural and pathological information in situ, a Confocal Reflectance/Auto-Fluorescence Tomography (CRAFT) system was established to examine the skin sites in vivo with both reflectance and autofluorescence modes simultaneously. Nude mice skin with cancerous sites and normal skin sites were imaged and compared with the system. The cellular density and reflective intensity in cancerous sites reflects the structural change of the tissue. With the decay coefficient analysis, the corresponding NAD(P)H decay index for cancerous sites is 1.65-fold that of normal sites, leading to a 97.8% of sensitivity and specificity for early cancer diagnosis. The results are verified by the followed histological analysis. Therefore, CRAFT may provide a novel method for the in vivo, non-invasive diagnosis of early cancer. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Box 101161, Weinheim, D-69451, Germany Abstract: A model composite is used to simulate the interphase between an allylamine/1,7-octadiene plasma copolymer-coated fiber and an epoxy resin. Time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is used to identify the structure of the interacting polymers and the locus of failure. The crack propagates near to one of the glass surfaces where a bonded semi- interpenetrating network forms. The effect of functionality of the plasma copolymer coating (or size) and its thickness on interfacial stress transfer efficiency (STE) at a fiber-break is studied using the fragmentation test. The cumulative stress transfer function and associated STE is able to differentiate between the improvement with increasing amine group concentration and decreasing thickness of the plasma polymer.

Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, United States Abstract: As the performance index of the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) problem is governed by the noncentral generalized Chi-square distribution, solely controlling the expected value of the performance index, as the traditional LQG theory aims at, is insufficient to deliver a satisfactory solution in some situations. While the risk sensitive control does control a specific weighting sum of various moments of the performance index, the single degree of freedom in adjusting the weighting coefficients in this specific weighting sum of various moments of the performance index often prevents the risk sensitive control from generating a desired pattern of high order moment-distribution. We achieve in this note the complete statistical characterization of the performance index for the discrete-time LQG formulation. More specifically, we derive a recursive relationship to obtain cumulants of various orders of the performance index successively. Parameterized in feedback gain, the optimal feedback control law can be computed off-line by solving a static polynomial optimization problem, thus serving two design goals: i) To shape the probability density function (pdf) of the performance index to attain, at least approximately, a given desired pattern by regulating cumulants of various orders, and ii) to improve the performance measure of an incumbent solution (generated by the risk sensitive control, for example) by adjusting the levels of cumulants of various orders. © 2012 IEEE.

The breakdown voltage in vacuum, moving trajectory of cathode spots, electrical conductivity, and hardness of CuW-La2O3 composites were carefully examined. The microstructures were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that CuW-La 2O3 composites have the maximum hardness of 220HB and the electrical conductivity of 45% IACS when the content of La2O 3 is 0.75 wt.%. In comparison with CuW alloy, the dielectric strength, arc life and the arc mobility of the CuW-La2O3 composites increased by 36.9%, 9.7% and 46.6%, respectively. As a result, the addition of La2O3 is useful to improve the properties of CuW alloys and the in situ synthesized CuW-La2O3 composites should have excellent arc erosion resistance. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Existing TPKE schemes suffer from long ciphertexts with size linear in the number of authorized users or can only achieve non-adaptive security, which is too weak to capture the capacity of the attackers in the real world. In this paper, we propose an efficient TPKE scheme with constant-size ciphertexts and adaptive security. Security is proven under the decision Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponentiation assumption in the standard model. Then we extend our basic construction with efficient trade-offs between the key size and the ciphertext size. Finally, we illustrate improvements to transmit multiple secret session keys in one session with almost no extra cost. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Identity-based signcryption (IBSC) eliminates the complicated management of certificates in signcryption schemes in the traditional public-key infrastructure (PKI) setting. Most IBSC schemes are constructed in the random oracle model, while it is unknown how to instantiate a really ''random" oracle in the real world. By exploiting Boneh et al.'s strongly unforgeable signature and Paterson et al.'s identity-based signature, this paper proposes a new IBSC scheme in the standard model. It is proven that our IBSC scheme satisfies semantic security and strong unforgeability under the bilinear decision Diffie-Hellman (BDDH) assumption. The proofs do not rely on random oracles. Performance analysis shows that our scheme is also efficient and practical. © 2012 IEEE.

To this end, VANETs should be designed to be resistant against various abuses and attacks. In this paper, we first review the existing proposals to provide security, privacy, and data aggregation in vehicle-to-vehicle communication. We then address the fundamental issue of achieving these conflicting properties in a unified solution, having observed that separate efforts cannot fulfill the VANET design objectives. A set of new mechanisms are suggested for efficiently managing identities and securely compressing cryptographic witnesses, which are among the major obstacles to the deployment of strong security mechanisms in VANETs. © 2011 IEEE.

In this method the nonlinear iterations is only to execute on the coarse grid and the fine-grid solution can be obtained in a single linear step. For the nonlinear convection-dominated diffusion equation, this method can not only stabilize the numerical oscillation but also accelerate the convergence and improve the computational efficiency. The error analysis demonstrates if the mesh sizes between coarse-grid and fine-grid satisfy the certain relationship, the two-grid solution and the characteristics finite-element solution have the same order of accuracy. The numerical example confirms that the two-grid method is more efficient than that of characteristics finite-element method. © 2005 Editorial Committee of Appl. Math. Mech.

In order to improve the quality of rock mass of dam abutment, adits f5-1, f5-2 and 4 inclined shaft were used to replace the fault f5. Based on the extensive research, the necessity of replacement grid setting was discussed. 3D finite element method was employed to simulate natural topography and geological conditions and excavation. The stability of replacement grid was evaluated by stress and deformation, and compared with measured data. The results show that the adits f5-1and f5-2 meet the stability requirement of the construction period, but supporting force in local tunnel is insufficient. For adit f5-2, two kinds of reinforced measures, prestressed anchor bolt, steel arch centering, thick shotcret and lining in advance, were adopted, these measures can makes the adit to meet stability requirements. Taking the other factors into consideration, it is believed that lining in advance is more reasonable. For cross parts of adit and inclined shaft, inclined shaft were excavated after lining before and after 10 m of cross parts of adit were completed, the maximum compressive stress of lining is less than 6.5 MPa and the maximum tensile stress is less than 1.7 MPa.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: Increasing impermeable surface area has become a serious burden for drainage of urban stormwater. It is thus important to know how much surface runoff may be generated by storms of varying intensity and duration, especially on a continual daily basis. In this paper, the field hydrology model-DRAINMOD was used to simulate daily surface runoff under different surface condition in Xi'an, China. As a major hydrological components in DRAINMOD, daily evapotranspirations were calculated with the FAO Penman-Monteith method and read into the model. Infiltration parameters were considered as calibration factors in the modeling process. Available data from a local rainfall-runoff experiment were used for model calibration by matching the model predicted surface runoff with the measured values on an event basis. The calibrated model was then used for long term simulations in order to examine the impact of varying climatic conditions and land cover on urban runoff. The modeling results may provide a practical guidance for city storm water management. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, Netherlands Abstract: The impact of rainfall characteristics on runoff generation and soil erosion are not fully understood despite their importance. In this study, a series of laboratory experiments, systematically considering different rainfall intensities, durations, moving directions, rainfall positions, and no-rainfall intervals, were conducted to investigate the impacts of rainfall characteristics on runoff generation and soil erosion. Significant differences, including hydrograph, sediment graph, soil water content, and infiltration depth (depth of wetting front), were observed. The following conclusions are drawn for the studied rainfall characteristics and soil from this study: (1) when compared with moving upstream rainfall scenarios (MURSs), moving downstream rainfall scenarios (MDRSs) can generally be characterized by hydrographs with a later rise and higher runoff peak for most of the rainfall events; (2) surface sealing changes the infiltration pattern so that MURS generally produce more total runoff than MDRS, and for some rainfall events MDRS generate lower runoff peak than MURS, which is different from what has been widely reported; (3) with the increase in the runoff peak, the erosion peak increases first and then decreases, indicating a switch from transport-limited erosion to detachment-limited erosion; (4) the increase ratio of underground water content for MURS is lower than MDRS; (5) rainfall duration is an important factor in soil crack occurrence. Not only does this study expand the understanding of hydrologic response and erosion, it also provides an important database for the hydrology community. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

We show that while the filter strongly modifies the topological characteristics of the chaotic signal, it might not alter its information content. We propose a chaos-based communication system that takes advantage of this fundamental characteristic of the dynamics. We devise procedures both to recover all the symbols at the receiver end and to decode the received higher-dimensional filtered chaotic signal by using techniques from the theory of pattern recognition. Our results show that a message bearing chaotic signal can be transmitted over a low bandwidth physical channel and be decoded with a low decoding bit error rate. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company.

The percolation threshold of UHMWPE/GNS composites is &asyum;0.25 wt% and that of UHMWPE/MWCNT composites is 0.20 wt%. The electrical conductivity of UHMWPE/GNS composites is almost four orders of magnitude lower than that of the UHMWPE/MWCNT composites. For equivalent concentrations of GNS and MWCNT, the composites with hybrid fillers exhibit a lower percolation threshold and a higher conductivity than that with GNS or MWCNT alone. Due to the high strength of the fillers and the segregated network structure, the mechanical properties of the composites first increase and then decrease with increasing filler content. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The Reynolds equations and the RNG k-Ε turbulent model are solved by the pressure implicit splitting-operator (PISO) method. The governing equations are discretized by the finite volume method, and the physical parameters are arranged on a staggered grid, and the free surface is traced with volume of fluid method (VOF). The model is verified by the observation data, and the comparison between the numerical results and experimental data is in good agreement. The proposed model has been used to simulate the velocity vectors, free water surface, contours and bore pressures of the flow in the vincinity of a spur dike. It is found that the flow near the spur changes strongly, and bore pressures at different height on the groin rise rapidly at first, and then reach their maximum almost at the same time.

The material properties are assumed to vary continuously through their thickness according to a power-law distribution of the volume fractions of the plate constituents based on the Voigt model. In skew coordinate system, the differential equations of motion of the FGM skew plate subjected to uniformly distributed tangential follower force are derived by the Kirchhoff thin plate theory, and the different boundary conditions are obtained of the plate for arbitrary curve edges. By eliminating the in-plane displacement components on the neutral plane, the differential equations of motion can be expressed in terms of deflection only. Then the equations are discretized by the differential quadrature method, and the curves of real parts and imaginary parts of the first second-order dimensionless complex frequencies vs. uniformly distributed tangential follower force are obtained. The effects of the gradient index, skew angle and aspect ratio on the instability type and the corresponding critical load of the non-conservation FGM skew plate are analyzed. © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav.

Because sensors are battery powered they are highly energy constrained. Data aggregation can be used to combine data of several sensors into a single message, thus reducing the data traffic and the power consumption. This study has considered the problem of maximizing the time at which the first node with data aggregation in WSNs drains out of energy. It investigated optimal data aggregation routing for achieving the goal above. The problem is formulated as a linear programming problem. By solving the network lifetime optimization problem, the optimal solutions and the distributed implementation can be obtained that are based on the primal-dual decomposition.

An efficient distributed synchronous aggregation scheduling method is proposed to structure a collision-free schedule for data aggregation in SNs. By using a connected dominating set (CDS) as an aggregation tree, we implement the synchronous aggregation scheduling. We prove that the latency of the aggregation schedule generated by our algorithm is at most 4 δ +15R -16 time-slots where R is the network radius and δ is the maximum node degree in the communication graph of the original network. Analysis and simulation results show the validity and superiority of the algorithm.

Measurement results showed that the canopy interception were significantly different between the two kinds vegetation. The interception increased with the increase of rainfall for Korshinsk peashrub tree stand, and the steady interception rate was about 15%. Comparatively, the interception rate was relative low for Apricot tree stand for its 'funnel-shaped' canopy, especially, when the rainfall was lower than 5 mm. There are no significant relationship between the interception rate of Apricot canopy and rainfall, and the steady interception rate was about 10%. About the simulation of Interception laws of Caragana Korshinskii, the determination coefficient of rainfall and canopy density was 0.74 in Cui's interception model, in which including variables of rainfall and canopy density, and the determination coefficient of simulation was 0.68 in the Wang's interception model, in which variable is rainfall. However, there was no better simulation result of the two models for the 'funnel-shaped' canopy of apricot tree stand.

Cr/Cr-C/GLC and Al/Al-Cr-C/GLC composite coatings were prepared by using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering system on Al-based alloy, where Al and Cr layer are the sublayers, Cr-C and Al-Cr-C are the transition layers. As a comparation, the GLC coating without sublayer was also deposited on the substrate. The microstructure, binding force and tribological properties of as-deposited coatings were studied. The results show that the Cr sublayer shows a columnar growth structure, while the columnar grain is not found in the Cr-C transition layer which has a gradient composition distribution. There is a good combining interface between Al sublayer and Al-based alloy substrate. Al-Cr-C transition layer has a gradient composition distribution also. GLC layers based on different sublayers and transition layers have amorphous structures. Compared with GLC coating without sublayer, the binding forces of Cr/Cr-C/GLC and Al/Al-Cr-C/GLC composite coatings are obviously higher, and the Al/Al- Cr-C/GLC composite coating has the maximum critical load. Under different loading conditions, the friction coefficients of both Cr/Cr-C/GLC and Al/Al-Cr-C/GLC composite coatings are low and similar to each other. © Copy Right.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: The residual stresses due to the mismatch between metallic bond coat and ceramic top coat lead to a collapse of all thermal barrier system. For measuring residual strain in elastic multilayer materials, the incremental hole-drilling strain-gauge method was studied. The main stresses, which is interrelated with the residual strain, is resolved on planes that are normal to a deep hole. In order to link the surface strain to the residual stress, calibration coefficients were obtained by the finite element method. The result shows that the coefficients depend on the substrate and the type of coating, the strain gauge used and the size of the step drilled. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

An interface stress element method (ISEM) is proposed to analyze the structure with joints. The method uses a piecewise rigid-body displacement field; it can be adopted to analyze the discontinuous structure without setting any interlayer elements. In the interface stress element (ISE) model of the structure with joints, the joint along with its neighboring region is defined as the interface region. The equivalent parameters in the interface region used in the analysis are obtained by both theoretical and experimental methods. A bolted mechanical structure was taken as an example, whose calculated model was made by the ISEM.

The transient characteristics of four linear electrical pulses were investigated. When the energy of four laser beams were 16.4 mJ, 15.6 mJ, 15.3 mJ, and 13.7 mJ, respectively, four stable electrical pulses of about 25 ns width and 10 ns rise time were obtained at the same bias voltage of 8 kV. The maximum switching voltage amplitude was 3.8 kV. With the triggering pulse energy and bias voltage kept constant, the three GaAs PCSSs were triggered at 10 Hz laser pulse. The method of synchronization calculation was given, and the synchronization of four parallel GaAs PCSSs was calculated to be 79 ps. The influence of bias voltage and laser energy on the voltage amplitude of electrical pulse was analyzed. Furthermore, relationship between the synchronization and the jitter time was also discussed.

Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, United States Abstract: The authors designed the voltage withstand test of the photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) in which the electrode gap was 18 mm in the condition of the pulsed laser triggered. During the experiments, the flashover quenching the photon-activated charge domain (PACD) has been observed, namely, when the flashover occurred, the pulse current amplitude of semi-insulating GaAs PCSS was lower than the normal value without flashover and the rise time of the output current increased. The experiment indicates that the current output characteristics of PCSS contain the information of the flashover, when the flashover occurs with the discharge of the PCSS. The analysis denotes that the secondary electron emission in the flashover quenches the PACD and ultimately quenches the PCSS. The external electric field of the PACD modulated by the secondary electron emission determines if the PACD is to be quenched or not. The Gunn domain is imported to describe the critical state where the flashover quenches the PACD and the threshold condition has been given. © 2012 IEEE.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: Characteristics of water and salt transport in layered soils with the loess soil layer overlapping different particle size sandy soil layer, was investigated in two dimensions soil chamber. The results show that, finger flow occurs when the wetting front enters into the low layer sandy soil, and the accumulative infiltration is greater for coarser particle size sandy soil than that for finer particle size one. The behavior of water movement and salt transport are disagree since salt content in soil profile has a significant difference for two treatments and water content is almost same. The further analysis explains this phenomenon is mainly caused by adsorption of the finer sandy soil to Na+. In additional, Cl- is easier to movement in pathway of the finger flow than that of Na+ whether the soil texture was same or not. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

To solve this problem, a sparse field snake model is proposed and employed for lung segmentation on chest radiographs, in which the Sparse Field Method (SFM) is employed instead of a level set method which is frequently used in the conventional snake models. The basic idea of the sparse field snake is using a key point list to track the points close to the zero level set, which means that the updating speed of a curve is only dependent on the length of the curve, but not the size of the image. Experimental results suggest that the proposed method was superior to other similar methods for lung segmentation on chest radiographs. © 2012 ICIC International.

A set of evaluation indicator system is established from the perspective of downstream water temperature fluctuation. The latter is the result of reservoir-induced temperature changes in downstream waters. The evaluation indicators include the baseline deviation, the phase shift and the extreme change. Each indicator is defined and the corresponding formula is provided. An evaluation method using the indictors is proposed for assessing the influence of reservoirs on downstream water temperature. The cascade reservoirs on the upstream of Yellow River are selected for a case study in an effort to test the proposed evaluation indicator system and the evaluation method. A spatial and temporal evaluation of the influence of reservoirs on downstream water temperature is conducted. The result shows that the evaluation indicator system and the evaluation method are able to adequately reveal the seasonal change of water temperature, as well as its time lagging and flattening resulting from reservoir operations. The main characteristics of water temperature variation can also be determined by the system and the method. Furthermore, through analyzing various indicators at different river reaches, the cumulative influence of cascade reservoirs on downstream water temperature can be revealed. The evaluation indicator system and evaluation method provide a general methodology, and can be applied to other river systems to study the influence of reservoirs on downstream water temperature.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: Aim to the three-level neutral-point potential balancing problem of three-level two stage matrix converter(TLTSMC),which is a new topology from matrix converter family that can synthesis three-level voltage in order to improve output performance in terms of reduced harmonic contents, this paper discussed the operating principles and a space vector modulation strategy with neutral-point potential balancing control for this topology. The method is divided into two control stages. Space vector PWM without zero vectors is used for rectifier stage. The modulation method of inverter stage based on the virtual space vector concept only requires the condition that the flow of neutral-point current equals zero, so the neutral-point balancing problem of this topology is effectively settled. The commutation principle of TLTSMC is analyzed. Finally, the validity and feasibility of this modulation method is tested by simulation and experiment, the result indicates that TLTSMC with the modulation strategy produces better output performance in terms of reduced harmonic contents and is also able to maintain sinusoidal input currents, furthermore, guarantees the balancing of neutral-point potential over the full range of output voltage. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The calculated results show that Sb doping could give rise to the expansion of ZnO lattice to some extent, and SbZn-2VZn complex model has the least expansion and the shortest bond length, indicated that this structure had the highest chemical stability. Based on the analysis of energy band and the density of states, it is learnt that it is irrational for SbO and SbZn models, while the presence of VZn in SbZn-2VZn complex defects can introduce nonlocal hole carriers in valence band. The quantitative calculations also confirm that SbZn-2VZn complex can hold the most electrons. This can explain why the electrical conductivity of ZnO crystal can be improved. According to the calculated results of formation energy, it is known that SbZn-2VZn complex has the lowest formation energy under O-rich condition. It suggests that O-rich condition is more beneficial for the p-type doping ZnO.

The constitutive equation and creep equation of the model are given and the creep curves in different stress conditions are obtained. It can be found that nonlinear gradual change process of steady creep phase and creep speed rate of accelerated creep stage of rock can be effectively simulated by adjusting creep parameters. In lower stress level, the model can describe the initial creep and steady creep of rocks. Moreover, if the stress level exceeds the long-term strength of rocks, the model can reflect the accelerated creep characteristics. The fitted results show that the nonlinear rheological model which contains soft-matter element and visco-plastic body of power function can effectively describe the creep properties of rocks and reduce the number of components and parameters of combination model.

Since the operation of this large generator set is continuous and shaft oil-film exists only when the unit is operating, application of an effective excitation to the shaft system is difficult. In this work, a time-domain identification method of modal parameters was adopted to study the shaft self-vibration features. This is a multiple signal classification method for the identification, while the traditional method has limitations in many cases such as few test cases or few test points. In the new method, the dynamic parameters of shaft oil-film are used for identification. The identification results were verified by FEM numerical simulation, and the method offers an effective tool for vibration response analysis.

The coordination of logistics alliance was studied with uncertain logistics demand. Firstly, the decision behaviors of the manufacturer and TPL were analyzed in decentralized decision. Then the results between decentralized decision and centralized decision were compared, and found that decentralized decision couldn't reach the performances of centralized decision. The coordination mechanism based on cost-sharing was proposed. The analysis results of the coordination model indicated that the Pareto improvement of logistics alliance parties and the optimization of whole alliance could be achieved by designing appropriate cost-sharing ratio. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.

The R&D price subsidy strategy in supply chain with symmetric information structure was first discussed. Then the R&D price subsidy strategy in supply chain under asymmetry information about CS's R&D ability was discussed. Some study conclusions which were drawn from a numerical example show that under symmetric information, the higher R&D ability of the CS, the less amount of price subsidy of the AM, and the profit of CS reduced too. But under asymmetry information, in order to stimulate the CS, the AM has to pay additional cost for the unknown R&D ability of the CS, this results in the increase of the amount of price subsidy, and the reduction of the AM's profit, while the profit of the CS increases due to holding private information. As a result, the whole supply chain coordination can not be achieved. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.

This paper puts forward a denoise analysis method of improved threshold function for turbine vibration monitoring to solve the traditional method's conflict between noise pollution control and signal details retaining. Signal sampling and denoise calculation are implemented with a code of Labview and MATLAB languages. A comparison of the denoise capability of simulated signals verifies that this new method gives better RMSE performance and RSN gains than the traditional method. A detailed comparison of retained vibration characteristics of the original signals with the denoised signals by different denoise methods shows that the new method is effective and superior in retaining each characteristic component to the traditional function. © right.

Based on analyzing the characteristic of water uptake and the measured data of the grape root distribution under condition of irrigation, a meshless numerical simulation model for one-dimensional water flow in unsaturated soils and one-dimensional root distribution function of grape were introduced in this paper. Further, the root distribution function and the other empirical root distribution functions were applied to numerical simulation model to demonstrate the appropriateness. According to the comparison between the results of dynamic simulation and data of field experiment, it shows that the simulated values of fitting root distribution, exponential root distribution, linear root distribution and piecewise root distribution are coincide well with measured values, and all of the relative errors are below 1%. However, compared with other root distribution functions, the error of exponential root distribution is larger. Therefore the fitting root distribution and the meshless numerical model can simulate the root water uptake of grape and the soil water movement in extremely arid region well. Moreover, under the condition of the shortage of the field root length distribution, linear root distribution and piecewise root distribution can be used to describe the practical root distribution of grape, and provide reference for using one-dimensional simple root distribution model to analyze the characteristic of grape water uptake under irrigation condition.

At different impact velocities, '>'-, '<'-shaped, and 'I'-shaped deformation modes appear in turn. The effects of configuration parameters on the deformation modes are discussed qualitatively. When all configuration parameters are kept constant, the mean in-plane dynamic plateau stress is proportional to the square of impact velocity; for a given impact velocity, the mean in-plane dynamic plateau stress is related to the ratio of cell-wall thickness to edge length by power laws and to the expanding angle by complicated curves.

With the increasing impact velocities, different deformation modes are observed and the kinetic energy of specimen increases rapidly. The in-plane dynamic plateau stress is the sum of the static plateau stress and the dynamic enhancement due to the inertia effect. The static plateau stress has been discussed in Part I. When all configuration parameters are kept constant, the dynamic enhancement stress is proportional to the square of impact velocity. For a given impact velocity, the dynamic enhancement stress is proportional to the density of THCs when the expanding angle is kept constant. The in-plane dynamic plateau stress is expressed empirically in terms of configuration parameters and impact velocity. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: The finite element (FE) model designed in Part I is used to obtain the cushioning mechanical parameters of square honeycomb cores (SHCs) under in-plane dynamic loadings. A simplified energy absorption model is proposed to evaluate the energy absorption performance of SHCs, which shows that the optimal energy absorption per unit volume is related to dynamic plateau stress and dynamic densification strain that are affected by configuration parameters and impact velocity. The optimal energy absorption efficiency is the reciprocal of dynamic densification strain. The dynamic plateau stress has been discussed in Part I. For SHCs, the dynamic densification strain is independent of impact velocity and determined by configuration parameters. The empirical formulas of cushioning mechanical parameters are derived from physical analysis of FE results. Based on these empirical formulas, the practical cushioning optimization algorithm is presented. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, Germany Abstract: Mechanical behaviors of square honeycombs cores (SHCs) are investigated by using the finite element (FE) simulations under the in-plane dynamic crushing loadings. With the increasing impact velocities, different deformation modes are observed. The force-displacement curves include four regimes with distinct characteristics. The plateau stresses are calculated for the SHCs with different configuration parameters. The dynamic plateau stress is the sum of the static plateau stress and the dynamic enhancement due to the inertia effect. The static plateau stress is proportional to the relative density of SHCs. The dynamic enhancement stress is proportional to the square of impact velocity and the relation coefficient depends on the configuration parameters. The empirical formulas of dynamic plateau stress in terms of configuration parameters and impact velocity are given. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
