Sediment and discharge yields within a minimally disturbed,headwater watershed in North Central Pennsylvania,USA, with an emphasis on Superstorm Sandy

We estimated discharge and suspended sediment (SS) yield in a minimally disturbed watershed in North Central Pennsylvania, USA, and compared a typical storm (September storm, 4.80 cm) to a large storm (Superstorm Sandy, 7.47 cm rainfall). Depending on branch, Sandy contributed 9.7–19.9 times more discharge and 11.5–37.4 times more SS than the September storm. During the September storm, the upper two branches accounted for 60.6% of discharge and 88.8% of SS at Lower Branch; during Sandy these percentages dropped to 36.1% for discharge and 30.1% for SS. The branch with close proximity roads had over two‐three times per area SS yield than the branch without such roads. Hysteresis loops showed typical clockwise patterns for the September storm and more complicated patterns for Sandy, reflecting the multipeak event. Estimates of SS and hysteresis in minimally disturbed watersheds provide useful information that can be compared spatially and temporally to facilitate management.     

Über die Struktur cyclisierter Fettsäureester

The Structure of Cyclised Fatty Acid Esters It is proved that the cyclic fatty acids which are obtained from tung and linseed oils by alkali-treatment contain mainly two types of products. Approximately 30% of these consist of 1,2-disubstituted cyclohexadiens, whose one double bond of the ring is in the 1-position and the other one is conjugated to the former. Approximately 60% of the mixture is comprised of ω-(2-alkyliden-cyclohexenyl)-fatty acid esters. The double bond in the ring is predominantly in the 3-position. As a result of the rearrangement of double bonds before cyclisation, R′varies from C₂ to C₁₁ and R″ from C₀ to C₉.     

Zum Wesen des Trübungspunktes nichtionogener Tenside

Turbidity Point of Nonionic Surfactants The occurrence of turbidity above a definite temperature in aqueous solutions of many nonionic surfactants, especially in those of ethylene oxide adducts, is due to separation of two liquid phases and not due to dehydration of the hydrophilic group, as is often assumed. In discussing the above phenomenon, the thermodynamic laws governing the resolution of liquid two-component systems are taken into consideration.     

Mechanical Properties of Partially Dense Alumina Produced from Powder Compacts

The elastic modulus ( E ), the critical strain energy release rate ( G _c), and the flexural strength (σ) have been determined for two partially dense alumina bodies produced from the same powder but with different initial densities. The mechanical properties were measured for specimens fabricated at four different relative densities. The measured elastic modulus, critical strain energy release rate, and a calculated critical stress intensity factor ( K _c) were observed to be linearly related to (ρ–ρ₀)/(1 –ρ₀), where ρ is the current relative density and ρ₀ is the initial relative density of the powder compact. With the observed linear relations for E, G _c (or K _c), and the assumption that the crack length responsible for failure was present in the initial powder compact and shrunk in proportion to the relative density change, a Griffith equation was constructed to estimate the strength at any relative density. This relation was in good agreement with measurements.     

Carbon-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles as separable and mobile sorbents of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions

Carbon-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (CEMNPs) are studied as mobile sorbents for removal of heavy metal ions (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Cd²⁺) from aqueous solutions. The ion uptakes achieve 95% for cadmium and copper. CEMNPs-based sorbents also have excellent adsorption capacities (between 1.23 and 3.21 mg/g), which are considerably higher than the capacities of activated carbons (between 0.37 and 0.39 mg/g).     

Structure and magnetic properties of carbon encapsulated Fe nanoparticles obtained by arc plasma and combustion synthesis

Carbon encapsulated Fe nanoparticles were obtained using two methods: arc plasma and combustion synthesis. These powders were characterized by the following methods: SQUID magnetization measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The last two methods showed that Fe nanoparticles, obtained by both techniques belong to metallic and/or carbide phases, and are partially encapsulated by graphitic carbon. The particles had 10-100 nm in diameter, and were covered by carbon 5-15 nm thick layers. The transmission Mössbauer spectra revealed two magnetic and two paramagnetic components. In the plasma samples the largest part of iron was contained in the carbide phase while in the combustion samples the bcc α-Fe encompassed most of iron. The combustion sample has much higher content of carbon, indicating that the Fe particles were not covered by graphite layer totally, and were dissolved in the etching process. The dominant portion of combustion samples was not vaporized, thus the iron phase solidified from the liquid. The plasma-arc samples were synthesized via dual mechanism: growth of nanocrystals from the vapor phase (carbide) and solidification of the liquid micro-droplets in the cold zone (α-Fe and γ-Fe).     

RS与STBC级联编码的可见光MIMO系统

针对采用空时分组编码(Space-Time Block Coding, STBC)的多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, MIMO)可见光通信(Visible Light Communications, VLC)系统复杂度和天线数难以平衡的问题,为了在一定天线数的条件下获得更多的编码增益,结合正交设计的思路,设计了适合于多阵列协同信息传输的STBC编解码方案,并将RS(Reed-Solomon)码作为外码,STBC编码作为内码,设计了RS-STBC串行级联编码的VLC-MIMO通信系统。仿真和分析表明,该级联系统在天线数较小的条件下能够弥补STBC编码在编码增益上的损失,系统的误码率性能得到了进一步提升,且系统具有较高的可靠性。
