Delay‐dependent stability for Markovian genetic regulatory networks with time‐varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of stochastic stability analysis for a class of genetic regulatory networks with Markovian jump parameters and time‐varying delays. A delay‐dependent stability criterion is derived by using a novel mode‐dependent Lyapunov functional. The derived stability criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities and is less conservative than the existing ones in the literature. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stability criterion. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

Growth characteristics of β-SiC by chemical vapour deposition

A twin-plane re-entrant corner effect (TPRE) in growth of chemical vapour deposited (CVD) -SiC is described by the film and particles of gas-phase homogeneous nucleation. The structural morphology has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Morphological characteristics of the deposited crystals, such as triangularity, hexagons or facets have been explained in terms of the re-entrant corner effect at twin junctions, which were proposed as preferential growth sites for perfect crystals. For real deposits, screw dislocations and/or the re-entrant corner effect are not expected to be compatible. The majority of chemical vapour deposited SiC crystals have a high defect density comprised of {111} twins and dislocations associated with the process variables. Infrared transmission spectra and electron spectroscopy of chemical analysis indicated that the major chemical bonds of CVD -SiC were Si-C and C-H bonds. The positions of the 1s or 2p corelevel peaks for deposits are described.     

Piezoelectric and acoustic properties of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and its isomorphs

The bulk elastic and piezoelectric properties of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and some of its family members such as RbTiOPO(4 ) (RTP) and RbTiOAsO(4) (RTA) have been determined. The piezoelectric, elastic, and dielectric matrix (P-E-D) of KTP has been completely characterized. Values for the temperature dependence of the expansion coefficients and elastic constants have been obtained, and the effects of variations in dielectric constant on coupling coefficient determined. The major diagonal elements of the piezoelectric and elastic matrices of RTP and RTA were measured as were the thermal expansion coefficient of all the KTP isomorphs, KTP in the temperature range 25-80 degrees C, is shown to have a combination of large coupling coefficients (up to k(t)=38% for hydrothermally grown KTP) and medium temperature dependence coefficients of elastic constant (as low as 40 p.p.m./ degrees C for tau(c33) for hydrothermally grown KTP) that makes it attractive for many piezoelectric applications.

Synergistic effects of organically modified montmorillonite in combination with metal oxides on the fire safety enhancement of intumescent flame-retarded epoxy resins

Synergistic effects of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) in combination with different metal oxides (Bi₂O₃, Sb₂O₃, and MoO₃) on the fire safety enhancement of the intumescent flame-retarded epoxy resins (EPs) were systematically evaluated. The results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses show that the OMMT and metal oxides acquire a uniform distribution in the EP matrix, and OMMT platelets exhibit a fully exfoliated state. The flammability and thermogravimetry (TG) tests show that the intumescent flame retardant (IFR)-OMMT-metal oxide ternary system can endow EPs with the higher synergistic efficiencies on the enhancement of flame retardancy, smoke suppression properties, and charring ability compared to those of IFR or IFR-OMMT system, and the synergistic efficiency is the following order: IFR/OMMT/Sb₂O₃ > IFR/OMMT/MoO₃ > IFR/OMMT/Bi₂O₃. In particular, the sample, filled with 1.5 wt% OMMT, 1.5 wt% Sb₂O₃, and 27 wt% IFR, passes the UL94 V-0 rating and acquires the highest limiting oxygen index value of 28.5% among the samples. The IFR-OMMT-metal oxide ternary system exerts a better synergistic effect on the generation of crosslinking and aromatic structures that supply the excellent charring effect and barrier effect for the EPs, and the synergistic efficiency of IFR-OMMT-metal oxide ternary system is varied with the types of metal oxides.     

基于图像识别的10kV电缆接头施工缺陷算法应用研究

在研究10 kV电力电缆中间接头的典型缺陷类型时,通过分析施工过程,得出中间接头典型施工缺陷有主绝缘表面污渍、主绝缘划伤、外半导电层剥离不齐3类.根据污渍与主绝缘色差大,提出采用灰度色差作为判定缺陷的有效特征量;针对划伤缺陷区域与主绝缘灰度色差不明显的问题,通过提取纹理特征,达到有效区分主绝缘污渍与划伤缺陷的目的.对于主绝缘缺陷,采用基于神经网络的缺陷识别方法,能有效识别出主绝缘上的污渍与划伤两类缺陷.应用以上技术手段,实现了对整个电缆中间接头施工缺陷的判定,整体检测的有效性有较大的提高,证实了针对性算法的有效性.
