4-methoxy-2,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazoyl)-1,3,5-triazine modified carbon paste electrode for trace Cu(Ⅱ) determination by differential pulse volt-ammetry

A differential pulse voltammetric method was developed for the sensitive and selective determination of Cu(Ⅱ) at 4-methoxy-2,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazoyl)-l,3,5-triazine modified carbon paste electrode in 0.05 mol/L KHC8H4O4 solution (pH = 4.02). The oxidation peak of Cu(Ⅱ) was observed at 0.065 V(vs Ag/AgCl) by scanning the potential in positive direc-tion. The analysis procedure consisted of an open circuit accumulation step in stirred sample solution. It was followed by medium exchange to a clean solution and subsequently an anodic potential scan was affected to obtain the voltammetric peak. The current was proportional to the concentration of the Cu(Ⅱ) ion in a range of 1× 10-7-1×10-4 mol/L for 6 min accumulation; the most of metal ions did not interfere with the determination. The developed method was applied to Cu(Ⅱ) determination in coal-ash sample, the results agreed with that of atomic adsorption spectroscopy(AAS).     

Efective Object Identification and Association by Varying Coverage Through RFID Power Control简

This paper presents an effective power scheduling strategy for energy efficient multiple objects identification and association. The proposed method can be utilized in many heterogeneous surveillance systems with visual sensors and RFID （radio-frequency identification） readers where energy efficiency as well as association rate are critical Multiple objects positions and trajectory estimates are used to decide the power level of RFID readers. Several key parameters including the time windows and the distance separations are defined in the method in order to minimize the effects of RFID coverage uncertainty. The power cost model is defined and incorporated into the method to minimize energy consumption and to maximize association performance. The proposed method computes the power cost using the range of the outermost position for possible single association and group associations at every sampling time. An RFID reader is activated with the proper coverage range when the power cost for the current time is lower than the power cost for the next time sample. The simplicity of the power cost model relieves the problematic combinatorial comparisons in multiple object cases. The performance comparison simulation with the minimum and maximum energy consumption shows that the proposed method achieves fast single associations with less energy consumption. Finally, the realistic comparison simulation with the fixed range RFID readers demonstrates that the proposed method outperforms the fixed ranges in terms of single association rate and energy consumption.     

Water modeling of molten steel flow in a multi-strand tundish with gas blowing

Fluid flow characteristics in a four-strand tundish with gas blowing were studied by water modeling experiments.It is found that gas blowing can greatly improve the flow characteristics in the tundish with a turbulence inhibitor.It dramatically increases the peak concentration time,and greatly decreases the dead volume,and reduces the minimum residence time.The gas blowing location,gas flow rate,and porous plug area greatly influence the flow characteristics in the tundish;the gas blowing location near t...     

3D Modeling of the preparation process of metal rubber material

Based on the analysis of the preparation of metal rubber (MR) and two pivotal hypotheses,the uniform distribution and the unaltered topological structure of wires in the radial direction of columns in the punch process,a 3D parametrical model was established based on four approaches:helix-making,planar roughcast-weaving,planar roughcast-rolling,and 3D roughcast punching.In the modeling process,5 lattice types of weave patterns in planar roughcast were put forward,and 10 quantificational modeling parameters ...     

Relationship between the microstructure and reaction performance of aluminosilicate

A systematic study was conducted to comprehend the mechanism of thermal activation of silica-alumina materials by using 29 Si and 27 Al magnetic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy.The reaction performance of silica-alumina-based materials with different molar ratios of Si/Al,which were thermally activated,was also investigated.With the increase in calcining temperature,the coordination of Al in metakaolin becomes four,five,and six firstly,and then transforms completely to four ...     

Decarburization rate of RH refining for ultra low carbon steel

The decarburization behaviors of ultra low carbon steel in a 210-t RH vacuum degasser were investigated under practical operating conditions.According to the apparent decarburization rate constant (KC) calculated by the carbon content in the samples taken from the hot melt in a ladle at an interval of 1-2 min,it is observed that the total decarburization reaction period in RH can be divided into the quick decarburization period and the stagnant decarburization period,which is quite different from the tradit...     

Hydrogen-induced cracking behaviors of Incoloy alloy 825

The effect of hydrogen on the fracture behaviors of Incoloy alloy 825 was investigated by means of slow strain rate testing (SSRT).Hydrogen was introduced into the sample by electrochemical charging.The results show that surface microcracks form gradually during aging at room temperature when desorption of hydrogen takes place after hydrogen charging at a current density of 5 mA/cm 2 for 24 h.SSRT shows that the increase of ductility loss is significantly obvious as the hydrogen charging current density inc...

In order to investigate the failure process of brittle rock under triaxial compression through both experimental and numerical approaches, the particle simulation method was used in numerical simulations and the simulated results were compared with those of the experiment. The numerical simulation results, such as fracture propagation, microcrack distribution, stress-strain response, and damage patterns, were discussed in detail. The simulated results under various confining pressures (0-60 MPa) are in good...     

Dependence of domain wall structures on repetition n in[Pt（0.5 nm）/Co（0.4 nm）]n/NiO（1.1 nm）/[Co（0.4 nm）/Pt（0.5 nm）]n multilayers

Similarity identification method on formational interfaces and application in general granite

An instrumented drilling system can be applied for the acquisition of drilling process parameters.The system can provide continuous and huge data for geotechnical engineering.However, due to the complexity of ground strata, the variation in the drilling parameters with stratigraphical characteristics is great and the correlation between likely comparable parameters is not high, which limits the use of conventional correlation approaches in this field.How to use the data for engineering and how to get a reasonable interpretation for the relationships among the drilling parameters, as well as between a drilling parameter and formational character-istics, become a technical choke point for the development and application of the instrumented drilling system.Based on similarity criteria, the extraction of sample data and characteristics, the pretreatment of data and feature matching algorithms have been ana-lyzed and an approach of slope coefficient searching identification has been established.A case study was carried out for the similar-ity between the rotational speed of the drill bit, flushing pressure, and effective thrust force graphics in general weathered granite.The result shows that the similarity coefficients between the rotational speed of the drill bit, flushing pressure, and effective thrust force are 0.72 and 0.83, respectively.Although there are differences between the distances of the graphics, the curves of both rota- tional speed and flushing pressure agree with the effective thrust curve in shape, which provides a possible method for the identifica- tion of various formations by use of the similarity between feature drilling parameters.
