Singly ionized double-donor complex in vertically coupled quantum dots

ABSTRACT: The electronic states of a singly ionized on-axis double-donor complex (D2+) confined in two identical vertically coupled, axially symmetrical quantum dots in a threading magnetic field are calculated. The solutions of the Schrodinger equation are obtained by a variational separation of variables in the adiabatic limit. Numerical results are shown for bonding and antibonding lowest-lying artificial molecule states corresponding to different quantum dot morphologies, dimensions, separation between them, thicknesses of the wetting layers, and magnetic field strength.     

Gauging food and nutritional care quality in hospitals

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Food and nutritional care quality must be assessed and scored, so as to improve health institution efficacy. This study aimed to detect and compare actions related to food and nutritional care quality in public and private hospitals. METHODS: Investigation of the Hospital Food and Nutrition Service (HFNS) of 37 hospitals by means of structured interviews assessing two quality control corpora, namely nutritional care quality (NCQ) and hospital food service quality (FSQ). HFNS was also evaluated with respect to human resources per hospital bed and per produced meal. RESULTS: Comparison between public and private institutions revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the number of hospital beds per HFNS staff member (p = 0.02) and per dietitian (p < 0.01). The mean compliance with NCQ criteria in public and private institutions was 51.8% and 41.6%, respectively. The percentage of public and private health institutions in conformity with FSQ criteria was 42.4% and 49.1%, respectively. Most of the actions comprising each corpus, NCQ and FSQ, varied considerably between the two types of institution. NCQ was positively influenced by hospital type (general) and presence of a clinical dietitian. FSQ was affected by institution size: large and medium-sized hospitals were significantly better than small ones. CONCLUSIONS: Food and nutritional care in hospital is still incipient, and actions concerning both nutritional care and food service take place on an irregular basis. It is clear that the design of food and nutritional care in hospital indicators is mandatory, and that guidelines for the development of actions as well as qualification and assessment of nutritional care are urgent.     

红河流域径流演变分异及其特征

红河流域径流演变分异研究对于揭示流域径流的形成、演变规律及跨境水管理具有重要意义。选取红河流域9个代表站点,利用累积距平法、滑动t检验和Mann-Kendall-Sneyers法研究了红河流域的径流演变分异。结果表明,径流演变空间差异显著,各控制断面波动不一致;流域各站点(除大东勇站)均出现径流突变,但突变时间不一致,且越往下游,突变时间越晚;此外,各站点丰枯转化时段不一致。     

用于预警和安保系统的新型发光复合高分子纤维

新型发光、无机和有机纳米型染料主要用于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）纤维的制备。PET纤维是制作用于预警和安保系统的纤维织物的原材料。具有发光性质的纳米染料的制备方法主要有两种：一种为自下而上,沉淀法合成;另一种为自上而下,通过反应型研磨得到。下述的纳米染料是硫化锌（ZnS）,同时还掺杂有铜或锰、铝酸锶,还可掺杂铕和镝。此外,还对有机染料和颜料（醛连氮和二萘嵌苯）进行研究,还将其包裹于硅纳米粒子中并进行相关研究。制得的纳米粒子混入高分子熔体中,通过熔融挤出得到成品丝。该过程中所使用的纳米颜料可混入母粒中,也可制成液状使用。最后进行成品丝变形工艺研究,并加工成纺织面料。纳米发光颜料的加入实现了低染料剂量下的高发光性。与已投入使用的传统体系相比,采用纳米发光颜料的体系具有更好的光、热和湿牢度。

为解决复杂大坝可靠度分析计算时难以求得显示的功能函数和传统随机有限元计算时间长、工作量大等问题,提出将有限元(FEM)、支持向量机(SVM)和Monte-Carlo法相结合的可靠度分析方法,即采用正交试验设计具有代表性的样本点,通过有限元计算生成学习样本,利用支持向量机具有解决高度非线性、小样本问题的能力,建立结构响应量和输入变量的映射关系,再利用Monte-Carlo法,结合输入变量的概率分布生成随机样本进行结构可靠度计算。实例计算表明,FEM-SVM分析方法具有较好的精度,同时大幅减少了计算时长和工作量。     

长短叶片混流式水轮机水力性能预测精度验证及改进

针对长短叶片混流式水轮机选择不同湍流模型、各部件网格划分方案对流量、转矩、效率预测相对偏差值较大、预测精度较低问题,利用ICEM CFD划分软件对各工况(小流量、设计流量、大流量)下的水轮机全流道及其过流部件(蜗壳及导叶、转轮、尾水管)各划分出4种网格分配方案,采用收敛较快的S-A模型初步预测了水轮机的水力效率与所划分的网格规模无关,进而选择方案3分析水轮机的水力性能;选取S-A模型、标准κ-ε模型、RNGκ-ε模型、标准κ-ω模型、SSTκ-ω模型5种湍流模型计算了流量、转矩、水力效率的预测值,发现各模型预测的水力效率预测精度较高,但流量及转矩的预测精度偏低。为此,重新划分过流部件网格规模,并再划分出5种网格方案,仍采用S-A湍流模型进行初步分析,发现虽可提高流量及转矩的预测精度,但提升幅度有限;进而采用RNGκ-ε、SSTκ-ω模型、Realizableκ-ε模型、RSM模型预测流量及转矩,可进一步提高流量、转矩的预测精度,但仍低于效率的预测精度。所提出的预测方法可为水力机械设计和性能优化提供重要参考。     

Carcass characteristics, fatty acid composition, and meat quality of Criollo Argentino and Braford steers raised on forage in a semi-tropical region of Argentina

The purpose of this study was to characterize and compare the carcass characteristics, cholesterol concentration, fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat and subcutaneous fat, and meat quality of Criollo Argentino and Braford steers reared in an extensive system, without supplementation, and slaughtered at approximately 400 kg live weight. The Braford steers had greater (P < 0.05) carcass weight, yield, conformation score, marbling degree, fat thickness and fatness score than Criollo Argentino steers. The tissue composition of the 10th rib was: 68.1% vs. 63.6% muscle, 23.9% vs. 20.4% bone and 8.2% vs. 16.3% fat for the Criollo Argentino and Braford breeds, respectively. The meat of Longissimus muscle from Braford steers was lighter, redder, yellower and more tender than that from Criollo Argentino steers. The meat of Longissimus muscle from Braford steers had a higher fat content, similar protein and ash contents and a lower (P ? 0.001) cholesterol concentration than that from Criollo Argentino steers.     

致密油藏水力压裂复杂缝网单井产能预测

致密油藏压裂裂缝的非线性扩展特征具有统计自相似性,可以采用类分形分叉树状网络来表征压裂复杂裂缝网络系统。基于流体扩散理论和压降叠加原理,采用半解析方法建立了相应的油藏渗流和裂缝渗流数学模型,通过迭代求解,对压裂井的不稳定产能进行预测,并分析了产能影响因素：基质渗透率越小,分支缝产量贡献比越大;生产初期,分支缝产量贡献较小,拟稳态阶段,分支缝产量占总产量比例迅速增加,稳产时间延长;裂缝系统越复杂,有效裂缝接触面积越大,产量越高;分支缝导流能力越大,产量越高;复杂缝网和分支缝导流能力的提高,有利于致密油藏压裂井的高产、稳产。
