Cause analysis makes great contributions to identifying the priorities of the causes in fault diagnosis system. A fuzzy Petri net (FPN) is a preferable model for knowledge representation and reasoning and has become an effective fault diagnosis tool. However, the existing FPN has some limitations in cause analysis. It is criticized for the inability to fully consider incomplete and unknown knowledge in uncertain situations. In this paper, an enhanced grey reasoning Petri net (EGRPN) based on matrix operations is presented to address the limitations and improves the flexibility of the existing FPN. The proposed EGRPN model uses grey numbers to handle the greyness and inaccuracy of uncertain knowledge. Then, the EGRPN inference algorithm is executed based on the matrix operations, which can express the relevance of uncertain events in the form of grey numbers and improve the reliability of the knowledge reasoning process. Finally, industrial examples of cause diagnosis are used to illustrate the feasibility and reliability of the EGRPN model. The experimental results show that the new EGRPN model is promising for cause analysis.
Ultrathin Co3O4 nanosheets grown on the reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4/rGO) was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and was investigated as a cathode in a Li-O2 battery. Benefited from the synergistic effect between Co3O4 and rGO, the hybrid exhibits a high initial capacity of 10,528 mAh g?1 along with a high coulombic efficiency (84.4%) at 100 mA g?1. In addition, the batteries show an enhanced cycling stability and after 113 cycles, the cut-off discharge voltage remains above 2.5 V. The outstanding performance is intimately related to the high surface area of rGO, which not only provide carbon skeleton for the uniform distribution of Co3O4 nanosheets but also facilitate the reversible formation and decomposition of insoluble Li2O2. The results of electrochemical tests confirm that the Co3O4/rGO hybrid is a promising candidate for the Li-O2 batteries. 相似文献
Y3?xCexFe5O12 (CeYIG) ceramics, with x = 0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.5, were fabricated by a conventional ceramic sintering technique. We studied the structures and magnetic fields of a series of CeYIG ceramics using X-ray powder diffraction, a scanning electron microscope, and a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. Findings showed that the substitution limit of the concentration of Ce3+ ions in the yttrium iron garnet structure was approximately x = 0.25. An extra CeO2 phase was detected in the ceramic when the addition of CeO2 content overtook the limit. The lattice constants and relative densities increased by increasing the Ce3+ contents in the ceramics. First, the saturation magnetization increased gradually with increases in the substitute concentration of Ce3+ ions and then decreased gradually when x = 0.35, 0.45, and 0.5. Overall, this study showed that the Y3?xCexFe5O12 material with x ≤ 0.15 exhibited excellent magnetic properties. Hence, the material show promise for magneto-optical and microwave communication applications. 相似文献
The geometrical structure of CdSe was optimized by using the ultrasoft pseudopotential method of a total energy plane wave based on density functional theory. The band structure, density of states, and optical properties were calculated and discussed in detail. The Mn-doped CdSe is found to be a half-metallic ferromagnet with 100% carrier spin polarization at the Fermi level. At a Mn concentration of 12.5%, the calculated total energy of the spin-polarized state is 614 meV lower than that of the nonspin-polarized state. The net magnetic moment of 5 μB is found per supercell for 12.5% Mn-doped CdSe. The estimated Curie temperature of 748.6 K for Mn-doped CdSe is above room temperature. The ferromagnetic ground state in Mn-doped CdSe can be explained in terms of the p ? d hybridization mechanism. These results suggest that Mn-doped CdSe may present a promising dilute magnetic semiconductor, and may have potential applications in the field of spintronics. 相似文献
Combining chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemoradiotherapy) has been widely applied in many clinical practices, showing promises in enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Nontoxic nanocarriers that not only are able to deliver chemotherapeutics into tumors, but could also act as radiosensitizers to enhance radiotherapy would thus be of great interest in the development of chemoradiotherapies. To achieve this aim, herein mesoporous tantalum oxide (mTa2O5) nanoparticles with polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification are fabricated. Those mTa2O5‐PEG nanoparticles could serve as a drug delivery vehicle to allow efficient loading of chemotherapeutics such as doxorubicin (DOX), whose release appears to be pH responsive. Meanwhile, owing to the interaction of Ta with X‐ray, mTa2O5‐PEG nanoparticles could offer an intrinsic radiosensitization effect to increase X‐ray‐induced DNA damages during radiotherapy. As a result, DOX‐loaded mTa2O5‐PEG (mTa2O5‐PEG/DOX) nanoparticles can offer a strong synergistic therapeutic effect during the combined chemoradiotherapy. Furthermore, in chemoradiotherapy, such mTa2O5‐PEG/DOX shows remarkably reduced side effects compared to free DOX, which at the same dose appears to be lethal to animals. This work thus presents a new type of mesoporous nanocarrier particularly useful for the delivery of safe and effective chemoradiotherapy. 相似文献
Copper hydroxide acetate (CHA), one layered hydroxide compound with tunable magnetism, attracts great interest because of its potential applications in memory devices. However, ferromagnetism for CHA is only demonstrated by means of GPa pressure. Herein, a new method is reported, involving the combination of different crystallization pathways to control crystallization of amorphous CHA toward the formation of CHA/polymer composites with tunable magnetic properties and even a tunability that can be tested at room temperature. By using poly[(ethylene glycol)6 methyl ether methacrylate]‐block‐poly[2‐(acetoacetoxy) ethyl methacrylate] (PEGMA‐b‐PAEMA) diblock copolymers as additives in combination with a post‐treatment process by ultracentrifugation, it is demonstrated that CHA and PEGMA‐b‐PAEMA form composites exhibiting different magnetic properties, depending on CHA in‐plane nanostructures. Analytical characterization reveals that crystallization of CHA is induced by ultracentrifugation, during which CHA nanostructures can be well controlled by changing the degrees of polymerization of the PEGMA and PAEMA blocks and their block length ratios. These findings not only present the first example of using crystallization from polymer stabilized amorphous precursors toward the generation of magnetic nanomaterials with tunable magnetism but also pave the way for the future design of functional composite materials. 相似文献
Porous structured materials have unique architectures and are promising for lithium‐ion batteries to enhance performances. In particular, mesoporous materials have many advantages including a high surface area and large void spaces which can increase reactivity and accessibility of lithium ions. This study reports a synthesis of newly developed mesoporous germanium (Ge) particles prepared by a zincothermic reduction at a mild temperature for high performance lithium‐ion batteries which can operate in a wide temperature range. The optimized Ge battery anodes with the mesoporous structure exhibit outstanding electrochemical properties in a wide temperature ranging from ?20 to 60 °C. Ge anodes exhibit a stable cycling retention at various temperatures (capacity retention of 99% after 100 cycles at 25 °C, 84% after 300 cycles at 60 °C, and 50% after 50 cycles at ?20 °C). Furthermore, full cells consisting of the mesoporous Ge anode and an LiFePO4 cathode show an excellent cyclability at ?20 and 25 °C. Mesoporous Ge materials synthesized by the zincothermic reduction can be potentially applied as high performance anode materials for practical lithium‐ion batteries. 相似文献
