A Smart Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Real-Time Surface Inspection

A proper detection and classification of defects in steel sheets in real time have become a requirement for manufacturing these products, largely used in many industrial sectors. However, computers used in the production line of small to medium size companies, in general, lack performance to attend real-time inspection with high processing demands. In this paper, a smart deep convolutional neural network for using in real-time surface inspection of steel rolling sheets is proposed. The architecture is based on the state-of-the-art SqueezeNet approach, which was originally developed for usage with autonomous vehicles. The main features of the proposed model are: small size and low computational burden. The model is 10 to 20 times smaller when compared to other networks designed for the same task, and more than 700 times smaller than general networks. Also, the number of floating-point operations for a prediction is about 50 times lower than the ones used for similar tasks. Despite its small size, the proposed model achieved near-perfect accuracy on a public dataset of 1800 images of six types of steel rolling defects.     

铌对取向硅钢冷轧组织织构的影响

采用光学显微镜(OM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)等研究了铌对取向硅钢冷轧过程中的组织与织构的影响。结果表明:含铌正火板和不含铌正火板经冷轧后都是条带状组织,但含铌冷轧板在宽度方向更窄。铌元素的存在对织构也具有优化作用,经过中间退火后,含铌冷轧板二次冷轧织构得到明显改善,相较于不含铌二次冷轧板拥有强度较低的旋转立方织构以及强度较高的{111}<112>织构,其取向密度最高可达12.460。

为确定卷烟机最佳回丝量,根据烟支卷制原理,结合烟支重量、规格、密度和平准盘凹槽规格、卷烟机吸丝道导轨规格等因素建立了卷烟机最佳回丝量计算模型。通过实例验证,该模型推算出的卷烟机回丝量是合适的,不仅能提供满足烟支质量要求的烟丝量,而且能最大程度减少因回丝量过大造成的烟丝造碎,降低烟支含末率,提升产品质量。该模型确定卷烟机最佳回丝量的方法实施方便,且不受卷烟机机型、烟支规格、原辅材料等因素限制,具有一般适用性。     

基于改进奇异值分解滤波和谱峭度的滚动轴承故障诊断

针对含噪信号的有效奇异值个数难以确定的问题，提出了一种改进的奇异值分解降噪方法--奇异值累积法。该方法通过计算奇异值的实际下降值与奇异值平均下降速度累积量的差值，并取该差值最大值点的位置作为有效奇异值的分界点来确定有效奇异值的个数。在此基础上，提出了一种基于奇异值累积法与快速谱峭度的滚动轴承故障诊断方法。采用奇异值累积法对原信号进行降噪处理，然后利用快速谱峭度确定滤波器中心频率及带宽，通过分析频段包络谱中明显的频率成分来诊断故障。该方法可以有效去除信号中的噪声，使得到的峭度值所反映的故障冲击更接近实际情况。对含内圈、外圈故障的滚动轴承实验数据进行分析，实验结果表明，相比快速谱峭度的故障诊断方法，该方法具有更好的故障识别效果。

Mixed-species biofilms in the food industry: Current knowledge and novel control strategies

Abstract

Attachment of microorganisms to food contact surfaces and the subsequent formation of biofilms may cause equipment damage, food spoilage and even diseases. Mixed-species biofilms are ubiquitous in the food industry and they generally exhibit higher resistance to disinfectants and antimicrobials compared to single-species biofilms. The physiology and metabolic activity of microorganisms in mixed-species biofilms are however rather complicated to study, and despite targeted research efforts, the potential role of mixed-species biofilms in food industry is still rather unexplored. In this review, we summarize recent studies in the context of bacterial social interactions in mixed-species biofilms, resistance to disinfectants, detection methods, and potential novel strategies to control the formation of mixed-species biofilms for enhanced food safety and food quality.     

Hydrogen storage in MgH2LaNi5 composites prepared by cold rolling under inert atmosphere

Mg-AB₅ composites are promising systems for hydrogen storage applications, due to their possibility of hydrogen cycling at relatively low temperatures. Traditionally, these composites are mainly processed by high-energy ball milling (HEBM) techniques employing longer processing times. In this study, cold rolling was applied to prepare MgH₂LaNi₅ composites and the hydrogen storage properties were investigated. The materials were processed using a vertical rolling mill under argon atmosphere, leading to a good homogeneity and no contamination at shorter processing times. The mixture of MgH₂-1.50 mol.% LaNi₅ showed the best hydrogen storage properties at 200 °C and 100 °C and the lowest desorption temperature even when compared to cold rolled MgH₂. The results indicate that the composite MgH₂LaNi₅ is transformed into a mixture of three phases MgH₂, Mg₂NiH₄ and LaH₃ upon hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles. The synergetic effect among these phases when in appropriate proportion in the sample seems to play a crucial role in the acceleration of hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics at lower temperatures in comparison to MgH₂.     

Creative clusters in the regeneration of Valletta and the cultural politics of Strait Street

The paper aims to unfold the narrative of development in a creative cluster project for the regeneration of Strait Street in Valletta, Malta. This is approached by first examining the distinctive, historically contentious background of the neighbourhood and, thereafter, unpacking the development narrative of policy documents and the discursive and material constructs about the creative city approach to regeneration strategies in the city. Using a ‘system-wide’ analytical framework, this material is then scrutinized to gain an understanding of the specificities involved and, finally, discuss the crucial features of the key dimensions elucidating the potential strengths and weaknesses of the case     

斜坡带小型岩性油藏滚动评价——以吐哈盆地台北凹陷葡萄沟—葡北构造带为例

斜坡背景上叠置了局部背斜或鼻状凸起岩性圈闭,有利于截获从斜坡低部位运移上来的油气而聚集成藏。通常在凹陷的鼻状凸起或横梁斜坡,大型三角洲砂体较为发育,油气聚集受鼻状凸起或脊状构造控制,低幅度构造圈闭、岩性圈闭和构造-岩性圈闭为油气聚集的主要场所,储集层砂体、沟通断裂和不整合面为油气输导的主要通道。葡萄沟—葡北构造带发育的岩性油藏远离生油凹陷区,具有构造隐蔽、单井控制储量小、圈闭落实难度大等特点,正确认识各种成藏要素及其配置关系,对该区岩性油藏的滚动评价具有重要意义。该区储集层横向变化快,非均质性强,油水关系复杂,制约了油田高效开发。通过对构造、油藏及储集层发育特征进行综合分析,总结了研究区油气聚集规律,建立了研究区储集层沉积及油气成藏模式。
