Simulation study of peak junction temperature and power limitationof AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs under pulsed and CW operation

The authors have used a 3-D transmission-line matrix (TLM) modeling method to study the junction temperature distribution and power limitation of device geometries with multiple embedded heat sources. Peak values of the junction temperature against the dissipated power density under both pulsed and CW operation are presented for a typical power AlGaAs/GaAs HBT structure. These data should facilitate the rapid determination of junction temperature for a given output power, which is of paramount importance in power device design     

Determination of the liquidus lines and isotherms of the Hg-Zn-Te system by a modified direct observation method

The modified direct observation method is employed for the determination of the liquidus lines in the (Hg_{1_x}Zn_x)_{1_y}Te_y, ternary system. The liquidus temperatures of the ternary samples of various compositions withx from 0.05 to 0.30 andy from 0.5 to 0.9 are measured. The temperature-composition phase diagrams and some liquidus isotherms are established for this system.     

Efficient algorithms for SS/TDMA scheduling

Efficient scheduling algorithms for the slot assignment problem in a satellite-switched time-division multiple-access (SS/TDMA) system are presented. This problem is translated into a modified open-shop scheduling problem, allowing the use of known optimal algorithms. Their complexity is expressed as a function of the following parameters: the number of nonzero entries in the demand matrix, the number of uplinks, and the number of downlinks. According to the values of these parameters, the algorithm with the lowest computational complexity can be adopted. Although the computational complexity of previously published algorithms is drastically reduced, simulation results show that the results are close to previously presented solutions in terms of the assignment duration and the number of switching matrices     

Eigenvalue-based algorithms for testing positive realness of SISO systems

A computational test for scalar positive real and strictly positive real functions is proposed in this paper. The input for this algorithm is state space representation, not necessarily minimal. It is derived for the discrete time problem, based on numerical stable eigenvalue computations. The test can be used in the continuous counterpart, which is in fact an improvement of an algorithm posed by Bai and Freund. Differences between the discrete and continuous time problems are also pointed out.     

Fuzzy reasoning Petri nets

This paper presents a fuzzy reasoning Petri net (FRPN) model to represent a fuzzy production rule-based system. The issues of how to represent and reason about rules containing negative literals are addressed in the proposed PN model. The execution rules based on the model are defined formally using the operators in max-algebra. Then, a fuzzy reasoning algorithm is proposed to perform fuzzy reasoning automatically. The algorithm is consistent with the matrix equation expression method in the traditional PNs and allows one to exploit the maximum parallel reasoning potential embedded in the model. The legitimacy and feasibility of the proposed approach are proved and validated through a turbine fault diagnosis expert system.

砂岩储集层微波加热产生微裂缝的机理及意义

微波加热无需介质传热,具有升温速度快、热惯性小、选择性加热、穿透力强、过程易于控制等优点,已被试验性地应用于石油开采中。但有关微波加热对储集层岩石微观结构影响的研究还很缺乏,限制了该项技术在油气开采领域的广泛应用。通过实验手段研究了微波加热前后砂岩岩样微观结构变化、微裂缝产生机理及特征。结果表明,砂岩在微波加热过程中容易产生微裂缝,且不同岩石的微波加热致裂机理不尽相同,主要包括:矿物失水收缩、颗粒粒间开裂和颗粒内部开裂,低渗透致密砂岩刚性颗粒的粒内开裂作用显著。微波加热产生的微裂缝具非定向特征,即使在应力的作用下有一部分裂缝会发生闭合,但仍有大量微裂缝可以起到增加渗透率的作用。井下微波加热的致裂作用有助于改善近井区域渗流能力,提高低渗透油气藏的开采效率。图4参15     

Densitometry determination of dioxins using gold nanoparticlemodified dioxin response element probes

This study aims to develop a rapid and sensitive densitometry bioassay of dioxins. It is known that dioxin ligand can bind heterodimeric aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and trigger the formation of the complex of dioxin-AhR, AhR nuclear translocator (Arnt), and dioxin-responsive element (DRE). We have established a rapid and sensitive method using nanoparticle-modified DRE probes based on dioxin-dependent binding of DRE to AhR complex. Dioxins can trigger the binding of nanoparticle-modified DRE probe to AhR complex. The nanoparticle-modified DRE probes in the dioxin-AhR-Arnt-DRE complexes immobilized on the microplates were detected by measuring optical density after silver enhancement. Results showed that as little as 0.01 pM of TCDD could be detected. Dioxins could be quantified accurately with the linear range from 1 nM to 0.01 pM. The coefficient of variation was 5≈8% in this bioassay. The optical density of nanoparticle-based silver enhancement was produced in a dose- and time- dependent manner. The dioxin concentrations in fly ash samples determined by this bioassay were comparable with that by the standard HRGC/HRMS. Thus this bioassay is a sensitive and convenient cell-free bioassay of dioxin that is suitable for screening of dioxins in environmental or food matrices.
