MEASUREMENT OF THE SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA OF POWDERS BY THIN LAYER WICKING

The specific surface areas (A) of different clay mineral powders were measured by both the BET method and by thin layer wicking. The values of A for the BET and the wicking experiments coincided within a few percent. Thus, the simple and inexpensive thin layer wicking approach may well suffice to obtain reliable specific surface area values for most powders. From the wicking data it is also possible to obtain a rough estimate of the average particle size.     

Delayed delivery of surviving triplet after fetal reduction and spontaneous abortion

In multiple pregnancies, survival of remaining fetuses after premature death and delivery of one fetus is uncommon. We report a case of a triplet pregnancy that was reduced to twins at the 14th gestational week and then had preterm premature rupture of membranes and intrauterine fetal death of one twin at the 17th gestational week. To save the surviving fetus, delivery of the dead fetus and ligation of the umbilical cord at the cervical level were performed. We also performed McDonald cervical cerclage to keep the placenta of the dead fetus as well as that of the surviving one in the uterine cavity. After a series of aggressive procedures, including immediate administration of tocolytic agents, and antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent infection and preterm labor, the surviving fetus was delivered vaginally 73 days later due to intractable uterine contractions. After a 10-week hospital stay, the infant boy, weighing 2,500 g, was discharged without any sequelae. To our knowledge, this was the longest interval between deliveries in a triplet pregnancy reported in Taiwan. With adequate intensive management, a satisfactory outcome of the fetus and mother in such cases is possible.     

扩展有限递归进程模型

主要讨论离散事件动态系统的建模问题。由ＫＩｎａｎ和ＰＶａｒａｉｙａ提出的有限递归进程（ＦＲＰ）是描述并发离散事件动态系统的有力工具，但在其ＦＲＰ中，没有定义对数据变量的操作和条件转移算子。本文扩展ＦＲＰ包括这两方面内容。最后举例说明扩展ＦＲＰ的描述能力。     

Evidence of late palaeozoic thermalwater metallization in South Yongmei Depression

This paper discusses the seafloor thermalwater spout sedimentary activity in South Yongmei Depression according to the following evidences: the Yongmei region was in an extended tectonic environment of metaplateform and locally developed intracontinental rift aulacogen in company with the activity of rich alkali, high potassium volcanics of double-peak type. Several kinds of hydrothermal sedimentary rocks and the ore-bearing sedimentary formations of copper-polymetals, iron and manganese exist in this region with a zoning feature of the seafloor thermalwater spout sedimentation.

高水头船闸输水廊道反弧门水弹性振动试验研究

本文简要介绍水弹性振动模型试验的相似准则，用近似满足水弹性相似准则的有机玻璃模型对－高水头船闸反弧形阀门进行流激振动试验研究．试验表明阀门的振动是随机振动，不仅有质量振动而且有结构振动，有若干阶模态被激发参与振动。在开门和关门过程中，阀门面板脉动压力和阀门振动是不大的，与葛洲坝船闸类似阀门间歇开启的振动水平相当。由于常压模型不能正确模拟空化现象，对于廊道内可能产生的空泡溃灭所引起的阀门振动尚需通过减压模型进行研究。     

Accelerated vibratory fatigue test by ultrasonic frequency at cryogenic temperature

The fatigue test is a time-consuming experiment. The accelerated fatigue testing technique is a dream for all researchers. In our laboratory, a vibratory fatigue testing machine was built, which works at 20 kHz for R = −1 and permits to carry out tests at cryogenic temperature. This is an automatic machine controlled by a PC computer. By using this apparatus, it is easy to save time by 400 to 500 times and a lot of liquid air (nitrogen or helium).

A titanium alloy, Ti6A14V (TA6V PQ french mark), was tested in liquid nitrogen (77 K) with this machine for S---N curve. At the same time, other fatigue tests were performed in SEP (Société Européenne de Propulsion) in conventional fatigue for the same material and the same conditions except the frequency. The comparison shows that the results are coherent.
