The mechanism and kinetics of the electrochemical cleavage of azo bond of 2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenyl-azo-benzoic acids

The electrochemical reduction of 2-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-[(2-sulfophenyl)azo]benzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-5-azo-benzoic acid has been carried out in aqueous solutions at glassy carbon electrode using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The position of sulfo substituent relative to azo bridge as well as pH of the solution have significant impact on the electrochemical behavior of these compounds. It has been proposed that these compounds are reduced predominantly as hydrazone tautomers resulting in corresponding hydrazo compounds. The overall electrochemical reduction follows DISP2 mechanism, ultimately leading to the 5-amino salicylic acid and sulfanilic acid. The rate determining step is the homogenous redox reaction between intermediate hydrazo compound and 5-amino salicylic acid quinoneimine. The mechanism is proposed in which activated complex of 5-amino salicylic acid quinoneimine and intermediate hydrazo compound is formed with the simultaneous loss of one proton.     

Numerical solution of viscous flow past a solid sphere with the control volume formulation

The control volume formulation with the QUICK finite difference scheme is used to solveincompressible liquid flow past a solid sphere in terms of stream function and vorticity.Several tech-nical points are addressed on improving the accuracy and efficiency of numerical simulation of similarproblems of fluid flow.In particular,the importance of suitable specification of the distortion func-tion to enforcing the far field boundarv conditions is emphasized.

三峡工程泥沙问题研究60年回顾

对60 a来三峡工程泥沙问题研究的历程、主要研究结论作了简要综述。三峡水库初期蓄水运用以来的泥沙实测资料与预测对比分析表明:三峡水库上游来沙减少的趋势与初步设计阶段预测基本一致,但减少的进程有所提前;三峡水库泥沙淤积量远小于预测值;坝下游河床冲刷量与预测值基本一致,河床冲刷范围则大于预测;坝下游河床冲刷对防洪与航运的影响与预测基本一致;三峡工程泥沙问题总体上未超出论证与初步设计阶段的预测。在此基础上提出三峡工程正常运行期泥沙问题研究的建议,其中关于排沙调度方面,应按控制水库防洪库容年损失率小于1 000万m~3/a,以及变动回水区上、中段无累积性泥沙淤积的要求制定排沙调度方案,以长期发挥三峡工程的综合效益。     

乌东德地下厂房岩体深部加固及施工程序研究

乌东德水电站右岸地下厂房洞室群赋存于前震旦系褶皱基底,为陡倾下游的层状浅变质岩。主厂房第Ⅵ层大桩号段开挖时,单次长度达35.0 m,由于上游边墙处的施工支洞顶部岩体挖除、侧向约束解除、边墙高度突增,导致主厂房上游边墙岩体深部出现较大范围的沿层面开裂及滑移、围岩变形及锚索受力陡增,危及到主厂房施工及运行期安全。为此,采用三维离散元法对岩体开裂部位加固及第Ⅵ层后续开挖区段长度进行了对比研究,并提出了"锚索+接缝灌浆"的处理方案及"小区段、间隔开挖+及时支护"的施工程序。目前,右岸地下厂房已全部开挖完成,各部位监测项目均已收敛,监测成果验证了加固方案及开挖程序的合理性。相关思路可为后续同类工程的建设提供参考。

A necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic idealness of the GRS threshold secret sharing scheme

The study of the asymptotic idealness of the Goldreich–Ron–Sudan (GRS, for short) threshold secret sharing scheme was the subject of several research papers, where sufficient conditions were provided. In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition is established; namely, it is shown that the GRS threshold secret sharing scheme is asymptotically ideal under the uniform distribution on the secret space if and only if it is based on 1-compact sequences of co-primes.     

Efficient multilevel image segmentation through fuzzy entropy maximization and graph cut optimization

The fuzzy c-partition entropy has been widely adopted as a global optimization technique for finding the optimized thresholds for multilevel image segmentation. However, it involves expensive computation as the number of thresholds increases and often yields noisy segmentation results since spatial coherence is not enforced. In this paper, an iterative calculation scheme is presented for reducing redundant computations in entropy evaluation. The efficiency of threshold selection is further improved through utilizing the artificial bee colony algorithm as the optimization technique. Finally, instead of performing thresholding for each pixel independently, the presented algorithm oversegments the input image into small regions and uses the probabilities of fuzzy events to define the costs of different label assignments for each region. The final segmentation results is computed using graph cut, which produces smooth segmentation results. The experimental results demonstrate the presented iterative calculation scheme can greatly reduce the running time and keep it stable as the number of required thresholds increases. Quantitative evaluations over 20 classic images also show that the presented algorithm outperforms existing multilevel segmentation approaches.
