Magnetic held dependence of elastic modulus and resistance in La2/3Ca1/3MnO3

We have measured the magnetic field dependence of the anelastic modulus and the electric resistance of a ceramic sample of the magnetoresistant perovskite La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ around the metal–insulator transition by the vibrating reed technique (2.5 KHz). Previous work [1] showed that the modulus becomes higher while the internal friction has a peak at the transition temperature (T_c=262 K). In this work, improvements made on the equipment allowed us to measure at constant deformations (<10⁻⁵) and magnetic fields up to 4500 Gauss. We made isothermal measurements of internal friction, modulus and resistance as a function of an applied magnetic field. We found that most of the changes induced by the magnetic field take place in a few degrees (almost 5 K) near the transition temperature where the changes in resistance are more important. Up to the highest magnetic field applied, we found 3% maximum variations of the modulus and no hysteresis while cycling the magnetic field. We suppose that the experiment is placed in the linear response of the inverse Wiedemann effect [2], due to the small deformations used, and that the ferromagnetic domain structure is responsible for the observed effects. Some additional measurements are needed (magnetic hysteresis loops) to be compared with our results.     

Collapse behavior evaluation of hybrid thin-walled member by stacking condition

The recent trend of vehicle design aims at crash safety and environmentally-friendly aspect. For the crash safety aspect, the energy absorbing members should absorb collision energy sufficiently but for the environmentally-friendly aspect, the vehicle structure must be light weight in order to improve the fuel efficiency and reduce the tail gas emission. Therefore, the light weight of vehicle must be achieved in a securing safety status of crash. An aluminum or carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is rep...     

冲击加载条件下AZ31B镁合金变形孪晶的微观特征

采用分离式Hopkinson压杆(SHPB)对A231B热轧板材沿轧向进行冲击实验，加载应变率约为1200 s-1．利用金相显微镜和透射电子显微镜观察微观组织特征。结果表明：在应变量约为0.003的条件下，压缩孪生{10?1}/<10?2>与拉伸孪生{1?02}/< 1?01>均为孪生塑性变形机制，这与准静态加载下单一的拉伸孪生机制不同。孪晶内部的微观特征演化过程包括：1）平行排列基面层错的出现；2）与孪晶界成特定角度平行排列位错线的形成；3）位错胞的产生。     

Evolving Stacked Time Series Predictors with Multiple Window Scales and Sampling Gaps

We apply evolutionary programming to search for the optimal combination of stacked time series predictors with multiple window scales and sampling gaps. In this approach, the evolutionary process is ensured to proceed smoothly towards the optimal solution by using a control strategy based on the similarity level between the genotypes from two successive generations. Our experiments on both sunspots and S&P500 price index predictions demonstrate that this method significantly improves the prediction accuracy compared with the constrained least squared regression.     

Nonparametric testing against restricted alternatives under progessive censoring

Nonparametric testing procedures under progressive censoring schemes are often adopted in clinical trials and life testing experimentations. In a variety of situations, a null hypothesis (of the homogeneity of distributions) may be tested against a restricted viz., orthant or ordered alternative. Though such tests in a general setup have been considered in a complete sample or a single point censored (or truncated) experimental scheme, there has not been much progress with these tests in a progressively censored setup. Genuinely distribution free tests based on simple linear rank statistics and the classical union intersection principle are considered. The theory of such time sequential tests rests heavily on some basic invariance principles, and these are studied as well. The case of proportional hazard models is also treated briefly. The main emphasis is laid on the development of the relevant asymptotic theory, and in this context, some (sub) martingale characterizations of progressively censored rank statistics have been incorporated.     

Efficient Stacking on Protein Amide Fragments

The less polar π‐surface of protein amide groups is exposed in many receptor binding sites, either as part of the backbone or in Gln/Asn side chains. Using quantum chemical calculations and Protein Data Bank (PDB) searches on model systems, we investigate the energetics and geometric preferences for the stacking on amide groups of a large number of heteroarenes that are relevant to medicinal chemistry. From this study, we discern that the stacking energy of an aromatic ligand substituent can be improved by: 1) orienting the fragment dipole vector such that it is aligned in an antiparallel fashion with the dipole of the interacting protein amide group, 2) increasing its dipole moment, and 3) decreasing its π‐electron density. These guidelines should be helpful to more rationally exploit this interaction type in future structure‐based drug design.     

Microstructure and phase composition of as-cast Mg–9Er–6Y–xZn–0.6Zr alloys

The microstructure and phase composition of as-cast Mg–9Er–6Y–xZn–0.6Zr (x=1, 2, 3, 4; normal mass fraction in %) alloys were investigated. In low Zn content, aside from the major second phase of Mg₂₄(Er, Y, Zn)₅, there are a few lamellar phases that grow parallel with each other from the grain boundaries to the grain interior. With Zn content increasing, the Mg₂₄(Er,Y,Zn)₅ phase decreases, but the Mg₁₂Zn(Y, Er) phase and lamellar phases continuously increase. When Zn content reaches 4% (normal mass fraction), the Mg₁₂Zn(Y,Er) phase mainly exists as large bulks, and some α-Mg grains are thoroughly penetrated by the lamellar phases. Moreover, the crystallography structures of the Mg₁₂Zn(Y,Er) and Mg₂₄(Er,Y,Zn)₅ phases are confirmed as 18R-type long-period stacking ordered structure and body-centred cubic structure, respectively.     

基于OWA算子的模糊n-cell数排序方法

针对基于模糊n-cell数的多属性排序问题,提出了一种基于有序加权平均算子（OWA算子）的模糊n-cell数排序方法。该方法首先根据样本数据对评估对象的属性构造模糊n-cell数,其次根据均值将属性按照从大到小排列,然后选取合适的权重向量,应用OWA算子进行信息聚合得到综合模糊n-cell数,接着根据各分量均值得到排序结果。最后,将该方法运用到实例中,并与传统的均值方法进行了比较。结果表明该方法不仅灵活有效,可根据具体情况选择不同的OWA权重来消除部分不合理的情况,使结果更有说服力,还弥补了传统均值方法的不足。
