Surveying of Na2O3–BaO–PbO–Nb2O5–SiO2–Al2O3 glass-ceramics system in terms of alpha,proton, neutron and gamma protection features by utilizing GEANT4 simulation codes

In this study, nuclear shielding qualities of glass-ceramics with chemical composition Na₂O₃–BaO–PbO–Nb₂O₅–SiO₂–Al₂O₃ containing different amount of BaO and PbO were investigated. The μ_ρ values were simulated using GEANT4 toolkit at 0.015–20 MeV wide energy range and the obtained results were verified by theoretical WinXCOM results. The variables such as μ_ρ, HVL, MFP, Z_eff, N_eff, EBF and EABF were computed to determine the gamma-ray shielding performances of studied glass ceramics. The results revealed that increase in PBO and BaO percentages in glass samples has caused to decrease the HVL, MFP, EBF and EABF values and increase μ_ρ, Z_eff values. It has been seen that N28 and S24 samples own superior protection ability against gamma radiation. In addition, the shielding capacity of these glass ceramics against charged and uncharged particles were predicted by determination of MSP and PR values for alpha, proton and ΣR values for neutrons. It has been concluded that PbO and BaO addition improve radiation shielding competences of glass ceramics. The data obtained from this study will be beneficial for designing glass ceramics shields for radiation protection enforcements.     

Etching characteristics of thin SiON films using a liquefied perfluorocarbon precursor of C6F12O with a low global warming potential

Perfluorocarbon gas is widely used in the semiconductor industry. However, perfluorocarbon has a negative effect on the global environment owing to its high global warming potential (GWP) value. An alternative solution is essential. Therefore, we evaluated the possibility of replacing conventional perfluorocarbon etching gases such as CHF₃ with C₆F₁₂O, which has a low GWP and is in a liquid state at room temperature. In this study, silicon oxynitride (SiON) films were plasma-etched using inductively coupled CF₄ +C₆F₁₂O+O₂ mixed plasmas. Subsequently, the etching characteristics of the film, such as etching rate, etching profile, selectivity over Si, and photoresist, were investigated. A double Langmuir probe was used and optical emission spectroscopy was performed for plasma diagnostics. In addition, a contact angle goniometer and x-ray photoelectron spectroscope were used to confirm the change in the surface properties of the etched SiON film surface. Consequently, the etching characteristics of the C₆F₁₂O mixed plasma exhibited a lower etching rate, higher SiON/Si selectivity, lower plasma damage, and more vertical etched profiles than the conventional CHF₃ mixed plasma. In addition, the C₆F₁₂O gas can be recovered in the liquid state, thereby decreasing global warming. These results confirmed that the C₆F₁₂O precursor can sufficiently replace the conventional etching gas.     

Accounting for the uncertainties in the estimation of average shear wave velocity using V S– N correlations

Site-specific seismic hazard analysis is crucial for designing earthquake resistance structures, particularly in seismically active regions. Shear wave velocity ( V _S) is a key parameter in such analysis, although the economy and other factors restrict its direct field measurement in many cases. Various V _S–SPT– N correlations are routinely incorporated in seismic hazard analysis to estimate the value of V _S. However, many uncertainties question the reliability of these estimated V _S values. This paper comes up with a statistical approach to take care of such uncertainties involved in V _S calculations. The measured SPT– N values from all the critical boreholes were converted into statistical parameters and passed through various correlations to estimate V _S at different depths. The effect of different soil layers in the boreholes on the Vs estimation was also taken into account. Further, the average shear wave velocity of the top 30 m soil cover ( V _S30) is estimated after accounting for various epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties. The scattering nature of the V _S values estimated using different V _S– N correlations was reduced significantly with the application of the methodology. Study results further clearly demonstrated the potential of the approach to eliminate various uncertainties involved in the estimation of V _S30 using general and soil-specific correlations.     

Warm-white light performance of Dy3+, Eu3+: NaLa(WO4)2 phosphors excited with a 450-nm LED

Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺: NaLa(WO₄)₂ phosphors are successfully synthesized through the solid-state reaction technique. The phase-structure and morphology are measured via X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometry. The concentrations of Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺, La³⁺, and W⁶⁺ are measured via ICP. The absorption and excited spectra are presented, which indicate that a blue band ranging from 430 to 480 nm is suitable for excitation. Using a commercial blue LED with a wavelength of 450 nm as the excitation light source, emission spectra for samples with varying dopant concentration ratios of Dy³⁺ to Eu³⁺ are obtained, which show good tunable yellow and red emission. For the purpose of investigating white LED performance, CIE spectra and a white light photo are also presented. The results reveal that varying the dopant concentration ratio of Dy³⁺ to Eu³⁺ plays a key role in the warm-white performance. With increasing concentration of Eu³⁺, the correlated color temperature decreases from 4069 to 3172 K, which indicates good warm-white performance.     

Microstructure and permeability of porous YSZ ceramics fabricated by freeze casting of oil-in-water suspension

Porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramics are fabricated through freeze casting of oil-in-water suspension followed by sintering at 1250−1550 °C. The pore structure, compressive strength and permeability of porous YSZ ceramics are tailored via altering the emulsion content and sintering temperature. The samples obtained using higher emulsion content or at lower sintering temperature show larger Darcian and non-Darcian constants due to their higher open porosity and larger pore size. Furthermore, the investigation on individual contributions of viscous and inertial resistances on the total pressure drop during permeation process indicates that the viscous resistance increases but the inertial resistance decreases with increasing the emulsion content or decreasing the sintering temperature for samples. Porous YSZ ceramics obtained in this work with a k₁ range of 3.14 × 10⁻¹³–1.12 × 10⁻¹² m² are appropriate for applications in filters and membrane supports.     

Effect of lanthanum doping on water content and diffusion properties of corundum for producing transparent ceramics

The effect of doping corundum with lanthanum on the content of water and other gas impurities, on the diffusion characteristics, on the unit cell size and static strength of fine-crystalline corundum synthesized under thermovapours conditions in a supercritical water fluid was studied.Content, release and diffusion coefficients of water and other volatile impurities in corundum were measured by kinetic thermodesorption mass spectrometry. Water is the main volatile impurity in fine-crystalline corundum. It was found that the introduction of lanthanum into the structure of corundum reduces several times the content of water and other gas-liquid impurities. An increase in the diffusion coefficient of water during the doping of corundum with lanthanum leads to an increase in the degassing rate of fine-crystalline raw materials. When doping corundum, lanthanum, being localized in structural defects, not only displaces structural hydroxyl groups with the formation of strong aluminate-like bonds, but also decreases in the unit cell and increases in the average static strength of the crystals. La-doped corundum, due to the reduced content of water and other gas impurities, is a promising raw material for the production of transparent ceramics.

刮板输送机中板磨损失效已成为输送机运行故障的主要原因之一，为了提高中板耐磨性，基于蜣螂非光滑单元进行了仿生中板设计，以磨损量为响应值，进行了单因素和响应面法优化试验。根据响应面法试验结果得到的因素显著性影响顺序（从高至低）依次为：径向距离，深径比，直径，节距角。基于试验结果建立了磨损量与因素的回归预测模型，经试验对比发现，预测模型与真实试验的相对误差为3.2%。在特定工况（煤散料粒度为6~8 mm、载荷为20 N、刮板链速为0.65 m/s及试验时长为6 600 s）下，当深径比为1.41、直径为0.69 mm、节距角为6.55°和径向距离为4.66 mm时，磨损量最小，仿生中板的耐磨性提高了12.6%。分析其耐磨机理发现，与光滑板相比，仿生板的磨粒磨损及黏着磨损较轻。凹坑分布可破坏持续切削中板表面的煤粒运动状态。中板的仿生优化可为今后刮板输送机的设计提供一定参考。     

Rectangular Section Control Technology for Silicon Steel Rolling

Rectangular section control technology(RSCT)was introduced to achieve high-precision profile control during silicon steel rolling.The RSCT principle and method were designed,and the whole RSCT control strategy was developed.Specifically,RSCT included roll contour design,rolling technology optimization,and control strategy development,aiming at both hot strip mills(HSMs)and cold strip mills(CSMs).Firstly,through the high-performance variable crown(HVC)work roll optimization design in the upper-stream stands and the limited shifting technology for schedule-free rolling in the downstream stands of HSMs,a hot strip with a stable crown and limited wedge,local spot,and single wave was obtained,which was suitable for cold rolling.Secondly,an approximately rectangular section was obtained by edge varying contact(EVC)work roll contour design,edge-drop setting control,and closed loop control in the upper-stream stands of CSMs.Moreover,complex-mode flatness control was realized by coordinating multiple shape-control methods in the downstream stands of CSMs.In addition,the RSCT approach was applied in several silicon-steel production plants,where an outstanding performance and remarkable economic benefits were observed.     

Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in Defense/Stress Responses Activated by Chitosan in Sycamore Cultured Cells

Chitosan (CHT) is a non-toxic and inexpensive compound obtained by deacetylation of chitin, the main component of the exoskeleton of arthropods as well as of the cell walls of many fungi. In agriculture CHT is used to control numerous diseases on various horticultural commodities but, although different mechanisms have been proposed, the exact mode of action of CHT is still unknown. In sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cultured cells, CHT induces a set of defense/stress responses that includes production of H₂O₂ and nitric oxide (NO). We investigated the possible signaling role of these reactive molecules in some CHT-induced responses by means of inhibitors of production and/or scavengers. The results show that both reactive nitrogen and oxygen species are not only a mere symptom of stress conditions but are involved in the responses induced by CHT in sycamore cells. In particular, NO appears to be involved in a cell death form induced by CHT that shows apoptotic features like DNA fragmentation, increase in caspase-3-like activity and release of cytochrome c from the mitochondrion. On the contrary, reactive oxygen species (ROS) appear involved in a cell death form induced by CHT that does not show these apoptotic features but presents increase in lipid peroxidation.
