An experimental study on the spray characteristics of pressure nozzle in a fluid bed granulation

The particles with a narrow size distribution are proper products in a fluid bed granulation and coating. As well, the process efficiency is one of the most important parameters, and the wall deposition of sprayed liquid reduces it. The modality of spray volume distribution is a key parameter in the definition of particle size distribution and process efficiency. This work is done in two steps: In the first step, an experimental study on spray characteristics including spray flux distribution, spray cone angle, and discharge coefficient is conducted. Based on the experimental data, the curves of liquid volume flux versus nozzle pressure and height are obtained. The results indicate that the flux distribution changes significantly with even small pressure and height changes. In the second step, the granulation process is carried out in a semi-industrial conical fluid bed, and the particles size distribution curves and the deposited mass on the bed wall are obtained. The results show that the precise determination of the spray flux distribution is an appropriate way to predict the well-advised nozzle pressure/height in order to achieve the narrow particle size distribution and high efficiency of the process.     

Ab Initio Molecular-Dynamics Simulation Liquid and Amorphous Al_94-xNi₆La_x (x=3-9) Alloys

Ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the liquid and amorphous Al94-xNi6Lax (x=3-9) alloys. Through calculating the pair distribution functions and partial coordination numbers, the structure and properties of these alloys are researched, which will help the design bulk metallic glass. The concentration of La atoms can affect the short-range order of Al94-xNi6Lax alloys, which is also studied in this calculation result.     

无失效数据机载多余度EWIS可靠性研究

针对高可靠度机载多余度EWIS各组成部分寿命服从指数分布但参数未知的情况，提出采用无失效数据可靠度分析方法评估EWIS的可靠度水平。通过Monte-Carlo仿真方法对连接形式为“先并联、后串联”EWIS各组成部分寿命进行抽样，利用“最小最大值”方法获得系统寿命的抽样值，用概率纸检验法初步判断EWIS寿命是否服从威布尔分布，再用Pearson拟合优度检验法判断EWIS寿命是否服从威布尔分布。结合无故障飞行时间的样本值与EWIS寿命服从威布尔分布的假设，采用无失效数据分析方法评估EWIS的可靠度水平。研究方法对机载多余度EWIS无失效数据可靠度分析有一定的贡献。     

径向弹簧蓄能密封结构最大接触应力的有限元分析

为研究径向弹簧蓄能密封结构的密封特性，针对典型径向弹簧蓄能密封结构，分析其密封机制以及O形弯曲金属螺旋弹簧的弹性特性；采用ANSYS有限元分析软件，建立典型弹簧蓄能密封结构的非线性有限元分析模型，对弹簧蓄能密封圈在不同压缩率、不同介质压力下的接触应力进行分析，研究在多种工况下最大接触应力的变化情况。结果表明：压缩率保持不变时，最大接触应力随着介质压力的增大而增大；介质压力保持不变时，随着压缩率的增大，最大接触应力先增大再减小。对压缩率、介质压力与最大接触应力的关系进行曲线拟合，可用于指导弹簧蓄能密封结构的精确设计。     

正则化图形模糊聚类及鲁棒分割算法

针对现有图形模糊聚类算法合理性差和抗噪能力弱的问题，提出嵌入对称正则项的图形模糊聚类鲁棒算法。将样本聚类所对应的中立度与拒分度相结合构造对称正则项，嵌入现有图形模糊聚类所对应的目标函数；同时，利用像素邻域所对应的均值信息辅助当前像素聚类并构造了空间信息约束正则项，采用拉格朗日乘子法获得正则化图形模糊聚类鲁棒分割算法。不同噪声干扰图像分割结果表明，所建议的分割算法是有效的，相比现有的鲁棒模糊聚类分割算法具有更强的抑制噪声能力。     

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.     

基于神经网络算法的井下裂缝诊断与堵漏技术

在钻井过程中，常常钻遇不同宽度的井下地层裂缝。钻遇裂缝时容易发生钻井液漏失现象，甚至发生钻井液失返现象，严重影响了安全、高效钻井。目前裂缝封堵的方法常存在封堵成功率不高、堵漏承压能力低的问题，其中一个重要的原因是对井下地层的裂缝宽度等特征认识不清。基于地层裂缝产生的岩石力学机理，确定影响裂缝宽度关键的6个力学和工程因素，并利用神经网络计算的非线性、大数据特点建立了井下地层裂缝宽度的分析模型，模型包含输入层、输出层和3个隐藏层。通过该模型诊断井下裂缝宽度，提高了计算精度，平均误差仅为2.09%，最大误差为5.88%，解决钻井现场仅凭经验判断裂缝误差较大和依靠成像测井成本较高的问题。同时根据神经网络模型诊断得到的裂缝宽度优化堵漏材料的粒径配比，提高了裂缝内的架桥封堵强度和架桥的稳定性，封堵层的承压能力达到12.8 MPa，反向承压能力达到4.5 MPa。现场堵漏试验最高憋压10 MPa，经过封堵作业后大排量循环不漏，达到了裂缝性地层高效堵漏的目的，堵漏一次成功。
