A novel chromatographic separation technique using a tertiary pyridine type resin has been applied to the partitioning of the trivalent actinides (An) and lanthanides (Ln) and several successful results have been shown. In an alcoholic hydrochloric acid system, the trivalent An were clearly separated from the Ln, while no such group separation was achieved in an alcoholic nitric acid system. On the other hand, the nitric acid system was more effective for the intragroup (i.e. individual) separation of the trivalent An and the Ln than the hydrochloric acid system. On the basis of these results, a novel concept for the partitioning of the trivalent An and Ln using the present separation technique and its flowchart have been proposed with its advantages and disadvantages. 相似文献
This paper studies optimal tracking and regulation control problems, in which objective functions of tracking error and regulated response, defined by integral square measures, are to be minimized jointly with the control effort, where the latter is measured by the plant input energy. Our primary objective in this work is to search for fundamental design limitations beyond those known to be imposed by nonminimum phase zeros, unstable poles, and time delays. For this purpose, we solve the problems explicitly by deriving analytical expressions for the best achievable performance. It is found that this performance limit depends not only on the plant nonminimum phase zeros, time delays, and unstable poles-a fact known previously-but also on the plant gain in the entire frequency range. The results thus reveal and quantify another source of fundamental performance limitations beyond those already known, which are nonexistent when only conventional performance objectives such as tracking and regulation are addressed without taking into account the control energy constraint. Among other things, they exhibit how the lightly damped poles, the anti-resonant zeros, as well as the bandwidth of the plant may affect the performance. 相似文献
This paper presents a fundamental study of the connection between continuous- and discrete-time systems. Provided is a definition for discrete-time models, that is discrete-time systems with a continuous-time counterpart, whose order can be higher than that of the continuous-time system. This definition is based on a comparison in a certain sense on the time responses of continuous- and discrete-time systems. A theorem is presented for relating the higher-order discrete-time models to their continuous-time counterparts, which is an extension of a previous theorem for models with order equal to that of the continuous-time system. State-space forms are derived for models obtained through the use of a certain class of hold elements and through the use of mapping models, and these discrete-time systems are shown to be valid according to the definition. Special cases are models obtained using first-order and slewer hold devices, whose convergence to a continuous-time counterpart has not been shown mathematically before, and mapping models corresponding to two-step linear multi-step methods, which have not previously presented in the state-space form. The derived state-space forms provide a convenient way to implement these models for purposes of analysis, design, and implementation of discrete-time systems and finds applications in such areas as digital signal processing, digital simulation, and digital control. 相似文献
This paper deals with the determination method of the equivalent insulation test voltage at room temperature that secures the reliability of the cryogenic electrical insulation of the high temperature superconducting (HTS) power apparatus. The high voltage test is related to the apparatus with coil structure at the stages of its development, manufacturing and shipment. In the test method, the equivalent insulation test voltage at room temperature is derived from the standard test voltage at cryogenic temperature, based on the idea that the HTS power apparatus should be operated without partial discharges (PDs). The conversion factor between the two voltages is given by the product of the two medium factors, i.e. the one relating to the potential distribution along the coil winding and the other relating to the PD inception condition at the weakest part in the electrical insulation system. In order to determine the latter factor concerned with the non-linear phenomena against electrical stresses, the PD inception voltages at cryogenic and room temperatures are theoretically and experimentally estimated for modeled turn-to-turn insulation system. The results show that both estimated and measured values are in fairly good agreement and the proposed method is useful for the equivalent high voltage test at room temperature for the HTS power apparatus. 相似文献
Amorphous silicon is the most popular material in the field of semiconductors. However, little is known about its microstructures. To understand the dependence of these microstructures on the fabrication process and on structural relaxation, amorphous silicon samples fabricated by various simulated processes are classified according to structural parameters within the molecular dynamics method.
The results show that the amorphous structures fabricated by the melt-quench method have many odd-membered rings and large bond-angle deviation. The structures fabricated by the molecular-beam epitaxy method involve fewer floating bonds, smaller bond-angle deviations, and fewer six-membered rings in comparison with the melt-quenched structure. Through long-term annealing, both structures are transformed to the most stable structure as described by the Tersoff potential. It is also found that the continuous random network structure does not meet the Tersoff potential. Verification of the results through first-principle calculations shows that well-relaxed amorphous structure can be described by classical molecular dynamics despite the slightly large number of the floating bond and the overestimation of amorphous-phase energy. 相似文献
We carried out a study of neutrino detection at the experimental fast reactor JOYO using a 0.76 tons gadolinium loaded liquid scintillator detector. The detector was set up on the ground level at 24.3 m from the JOYO reactor core of 140 MW thermal power. The measured neutrino event rate from reactor on-off comparison was 1.11±1.24(stat.)±0.46(syst.) events/day. Although the statistical significance of the measurement was not enough, backgrounds in such a compact detector at the ground level were studied in detail and MC simulations were found to describe the data well. A study for improvement of the detector for future such experiments is also shown. 相似文献
This paper describes a novel method to estimate appropriate traversable regions from an outdoor scene image. The traversable regions output by the proposed method reflect the common sense of people. For example, a candidate traversable region is “a paved road somewhat distant from the side ditch.” The input to the traversable region estimation is one color image. First, category is assigned to each pixel in the image. The categorization result is then input to the region estimator. Finally, the traversable region are estimated on the input image. An important aspect of this method is the application of two score functions in region estimation process. One score function places high value on categories selected as traversable paths by subjects. The other function places high value on categories that are not selected as traversable regions but are adjacent to categories with traversable paths. A combination of these two functions produces feasible estimation results. The effectiveness of the combined score functions was evaluated by experiments and a questionnaire. 相似文献
