负径向电场对带电粒子俘获率影响的数值模拟

本文采用数值方法求解Grad-Shafranov方程反演EAST典型长脉冲放电实验(炮号33068)的平衡位形和磁场分布，进而结合粒子在托卡马克电磁场中的运动方程，模拟氘离子在负径向电场存在时的运动轨迹，并统计不同负径向电场下的氘离子俘获率。结果表明：随负径向电场的增大，氘离子轨迹由扩张通行轨迹向外翻香蕉轨迹再向内翻香蕉轨迹，最后向压缩通行轨迹演变；氘离子俘获率随负径向电场的增大而减小，氘离子初始速度越小，其变化越大。     

Automated delineation of non-small cell lung cancer: A step toward quantitative reasoning in medical decision science

Quantitative reasoning in medical decision science relies on the delineation of pathological objects. For example, evidence-based clinical decisions regarding lung diseases require the segmentation of nodules, tumors, or cancers. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tends to be large sized, irregularly shaped, and grows against surrounding structures imposing challenges in the segmentation, even for expert clinicians. An automated delineation tool based on spatial analysis was developed and studied on 25 sets of computed tomography scans of NSCLC. Manual and automated delineations were compared, and the proposed method exhibited robustness in terms of the tumor size (5.32–18.24 mm), shape (spherical or irregular), contouring (lobulated, spiculated, or cavitated), localization (solitary, pleural, mediastinal, endobronchial, or tagging), and laterality (left or right lobe) with accuracy between 80% and 99%. Small discrepancies observed between the manual and automated delineations may arise from the variability in the practitioners' definitions of region of interest or imaging artifacts that reduced the tissue resolution.     

不锈钢酸洗污泥对烧结黏结相与平衡相的影响

 不锈钢酸洗污泥安全填埋占用土地且难以消除对环境的危害，将酸洗污泥作为烧结配料使用有望回收其中铁、铬、镍等金属，并充分利用其中的熔剂组分，实现酸洗污泥在冶金企业的闭路资源化利用。铁矿粉配加酸洗污泥烧结黏结相强度试验表明，随着酸洗污泥配加比例的增加，黏结相强度先增加后减小，且随着碱度的增加整体减小，当酸洗污泥配加比例为10%时，试样中赤铁矿、磁铁矿质量分数最大，枪晶石质量分数较小，在碱度为1.5时于1 280 ℃焙烧4 min，试样的黏结相强度最大可达15.12 kN。平衡相烧结试验表明，配加酸洗污泥能改善烧结矿质量，铁矿粉配加10%的酸洗污泥，碱度为1.5，1 300 ℃烧结240 min后，烧结矿的矿相组成和微观结构最好，综合性能最佳。

Synthesis of composite of graphene and UO3 composite via one-step solution chemical reaction and its application to UO2-based accident tolerant fuel

In this paper, two kinds of composites constructed by UO₃ nanoflakes (which is UO₃·yNH₃·xH₂O, precisely) and different graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (homemade GO, GO-h, and commercial GO, GO-c) were prepared via solution chemical reaction. The two kinds of GO share similar morphology and possess the same species of functional groups. Nevertheless, GO-h possesses higher oxidization degree and thus could adsorb more uranyl ions, and the corresponding composite shows a much more regular shape: UO₃ nanoflakes and GO nanosheets cross each other, which would help overcome the disadvantage of graphene aggregation. As a result, homemade reduced graphene oxide (RGO-h) sheets inside the final UO₂ pellets (named as UO₂/GO-h) could construct a well-bulit thermally conductive network to enhance its thermal conductivity. However, similar RGO-c network cannot be observed in the UO₂/GO-c pellest originated from GO-c. Therefore, only the thermal conductivity of UO₂/GO-h pellet acquires a dramatic increase, 37.30% relative to UO₂ pellet at 1200 °C, showing that UO₂/GO-h possesses great potential for the development of novel UO₂-based ATF fuels.     

Relationships of tensile strength with crosslink density for the high-carbon black-filled EPDM compounds with various softeners

Equilibrium swelling and rheological tests were adopted to systematically investigate the effects of softener type and dosage on the crosslink densities. The results turned out that the chemical crosslink density could be distinguished from the physical crosslink density by comparing the results of equilibrium swelling and rheological tests. The liquid butadiene (LB) as a softener leads to the greatest reduction in crosslink density, followed by polyethylene wax (PW) and paraffinic oil (PO). The tensile strength decreases with increasing PO content while shows peak values with increase of LB and PW contents. The dependencies of chemical crosslink density on the aging time under 150°C are quite different for the three softeners, which can be expected from the double crosslinking networks consisting of small softener and large main crosslinking networks. Further investigation has been performed to correlate the tensile strength with chemical crosslink density of ethylene propylene diene monomer elastomer vulcanizates. Three different linear relationships can be obtained for the softeners independent of the aging time. It can now be expected from this study that the role of some new softeners in rubber compounds is not only confined to plasticization but also forms crosslinking networks in the peroxide-cured rubbers.     

Features of crystal structures and thermo-mechanical properties of weberites RE3NbO7 (RE=La,Nd, Sm,Eu, Gd) ceramics

The features of crystal structures, thermo-mechanical properties and their dominant mechanisms of weberites RE₃NbO₇ were studied as high-temperature oxides. We concentrated on connections between structures and thermo-mechanical properties, the influences of bond lengths, lattice distortion degrees and microstructures on these properties were estimated. The shortening of bond length and increment of bonding strength would lead to the increase of mechanical properties. The Vickers hardness (4.5-7.8 GPa) and toughness (0.5-1.6 MPa·m^1/2) of weberites RE₃NbO₇ are enhanced by grain refinement and increment of bond strength, while crystal structures, bond lengths, and lattice distortion degrees influenced their Young's modulus (100-170 GPa). Nano-indentation was applied to test the influence of microstructures on modulus and hardness. The dominant mechanisms for mechanical properties and thermal conductivity were proposed, which was conducive to properties tailoring and engineering applications of weberites RE₃NbO₇ oxides.     

Comprehensive analysis on anomalous phenomenon of ethanol-soluble poly(vinyl butyral) membrane for ethanol recovery via pervaporation

Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) is selected as a promising ethanol-permselective membrane based on the solubility parameter theory; however, it exhibits anomalous water perm-selectivity in practical pervaporation (PV) process. Comprehensive analysis based on experimental and theoretical methods were carried out to explore the inherent mechanism of the anomalous performance. Firstly, sum frequency generation vibrational spectra and contact angle were developed to quantify the surface reconstruction of membrane in air and ethanol, which indicated that hydrophilic hydroxyl tended to expose on membrane surface with ethanol thus improving the membrane affinity to water. Meanwhile, swelling behaviors proved more water would accumulate in the ethanol swollen membrane. Furthermore, theoretical analysis in terms of sorption and diffusion process, based on the UNIFAC-FV model and Fujita free-volume theory, confirmed the mechanism of anomalous phenomenon of PVB membrane. The comprehensive investigation was expected to provide insights into the basic separation mechanism of PV process.     

Joint tracking coefficients and the time delay of a nonstationary linear system,preceded by a static nonlinearity

The paper considers a block-oriented nonlinear Hammerstein system that consists of a linear block with real-valued time-varying unknown coefficients and a pure time delay, preceded by the static nonlinearity. The joint tracking of linear block coefficients and the time delay while processing observation samples is under consideration. The difficulty of the tracking process consists in the initial nonconvexity of the objective function to be minimized, in respect of the time delay. To obtain current estimates of the true coefficients and the time delay it is necessary to overcome the multiextremality of the objective function. A global optimization problem could be solved by changing a form of the nonconvex objective function into a convex one. The optimization problem has been subdivided into two problems that are analyzed in this article, as well. The first one consists of removal of the objective function multiextremality in respect of the time delay, while hunting for the global extremum. Therefore, the well-known approach based on the method of corrective operators, which is used to transform the multiextremal criterion into a unimodal function for the nonstationary Wiener system, is developed here for the Hammerstein one. The other problem consists of the applicability of unified adaptive algorithms, used for Wiener systems in the case of Hammerstein systems. The recursive parametric identification technique, based on the adaptive algorithm procedures, is developed here for the nonstationary block-oriented Hammerstein systems, too. The applicability of algorithms is supported by various simulation tests solved by computer for distinct inputs and for two static nonlinearities.
