Analysis of corrosion resistance behavior of inhibitors in concrete using electrochemical techniques

Reinforced concrete is one of the most durable and cost effective construction materials. However, in high chloride environments, it can suffer from corrosion due to chloride induced breakdown of the normal passive layer protecting the reinforcing steel bars inside concrete. One means of protecting embedded steel reinforcement from chloride induced corrosion is the addition of corrosion inhibiting admixtures. In the present investigation, various inhibitors such as sodium nitrite, zinc oxide, mono ethanol amine, diethanolamine, and triethanol amine have been used in concrete in different percentages. Their effectiveness was then studied using various electrochemical techniques such as rapid chloride ion penetration test, open circuit potential measurement, electrochemical impedance measurement, potentiodynamic polarization measurement, and gravimetric weight loss measurement. The results thus obtained indicate that the addition of inhibitors enhances the corrosion resistance properties.

Incorporating Intra‐Query Term Dependencies in an Aspect Query Language Model

Query language modeling based on relevance feedback has been widely applied to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval. However, intra‐query term dependencies (i.e., the dependencies between different query terms and term combinations) have not yet been sufficiently addressed in the existing approaches. This article aims to investigate this issue within a comprehensive framework, namely the Aspect Query Language Model (AM). We propose to extend the AM with a hidden Markov model (HMM) structure to incorporate the intra‐query term dependencies and learn the structure of a novel aspect HMM (AHMM) for query language modeling. In the proposed AHMM, the combinations of query terms are viewed as latent variables representing query aspects. They further form an ergodic HMM, where the dependencies between latent variables (nodes) are modeled as the transitional probabilities. The segmented chunks from the feedback documents are considered as observables of the HMM. Then the AHMM structure is optimized by the HMM, which can estimate the prior of the latent variables and the probability distribution of the observed chunks. Our extensive experiments on three large‐scale text retrieval conference (TREC) collections have shown that our method not only significantly outperforms a number of strong baselines in terms of both effectiveness and robustness but also achieves better results than the AM and another state‐of‐the‐art approach, namely the latent concept expansion model. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

How do Individual‐Level Factors Affect the Creative Solution Formation Process of Teams?

The generation of creative solutions involves nonlinear dynamic procedures that can only be achieved through the creativity of individual team members. Thus, it is important to understand how the formation of individual‐level creativity factors influence the creative solution formation process. The creative solution formation process can be divided into four phases: idea generation, idea screening, idea development and solution verification. Prior research suggests that the creative process may be affected by motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic), knowledge stock (explicit and tacit), individual creativity (intelligence and divergent thinking), and pressure (challenge and time). We tested the effects of these eight factors on performance in the idea generation and idea development phases by conducting an experiment. Our results indicate that intrinsic motivation, intelligence and divergent thinking have a significant positive effect on both idea generation and idea development. Tacit knowledge and challenge pressure have a significant positive effect on idea generation. Time pressure has a significant negative effect on idea development. We also show that both idea generation and idea development have a significant impact on the quality of the final creative solution.     

Comparison of spherical and non-spherical particles in microchannels under dielectrophoretic force

This paper focuses on the computational and experimental study of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force based manipulation of spherical and non-spherical particles by taking into consideration of both electrokinetic effects and particle hydrodynamics. The model is first validated with conventional dipole moment theory. The movements of a spherical polystyrene particle and a rod-shape particle under a non-uniform electric field created by a pair of non-symmetrical electrodes in a microfluidic channel are studied, and a good agreement between the simulation and experimental results is obtained. Both experimental and simulation results reveal that the rod-shape particle experiences larger DEP force and moves faster than spherical particle with a similar mass. It was also interestingly found that the shape-dependent DEP force distribution on the microscale rod particle results in its unique behavior, which cannot be captured by traditional DEP theory.

基于速龙码的WSNs传输功率控制重编程协议

为了降低节点能耗,提高能量的利用率,提出了一种高效节能的基于速龙码（ RC）的传输功率控制（ RC-TPC）重编程协议。该协议分两个阶段完成数据传输,第一阶段各个节点更新自己的位置信息,形成最优化的拓扑结构。进入第二阶段后,根据优化的拓扑结构通过调整发送节点的传输功率和中继节点的累计选择次数,Sink节点选择适当的中继节点,使中继节点的传输功率和RC的开销达到最优化。此外,RC的编码方式使传输数据包发生的错误概率更小,减少了重编程过程中的冗余以保证网络负载的均匀分布,有效地实现了高效节能,从而提高整个网络的生存周期。理论分析与实验结果表明：与MNP协议和ATPC协议相比,RC-TPC协议用于传输的平均能量消耗降低17.2%。
