Effect of silver addition on superconductivity in the Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.6Ca2Cu3O10−y system

Silver/superconductor composites containing 0 to 80 vol% silver have been prepared and their properties determined. Optimum heat treatment at sintering temperatures ( 800° C) under low oxygen pressures produces material with high critical current density and improves physical properties. Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been found to be consistent with resistivity results. In order to retain a single high-T _c phase with increasing silver content, decreased oxygen partial pressures are required. Using the normal-state resistivity of these composites, a percolation threshold at a silver volume fraction of 43% was observed, while zero resistivity measurements show that a continuous superconducting network can be obtained with up to 80 vol% silver. The critical current density of 21 vol% silver-doped samples was found to be 1520 A cm^–2 at 77.3 K, compared to 260 A cm^–2 for an undoped sample.     

A conditional classification recurrent RBM for improved series mid-term forecasting

In the context of human-robot and robot-robot interactions, the better cooperation can be achieved by predicting the other party’s subsequent actions based on the current action of the other party. The time duration for adjustment is not sufficient provided by short term forecasting models to robots. A longer duration can by achieved by mid-term forecasting. But the mid-term forecasting models introduce the previous errors into the follow-up forecasting and amplified gradually, eventually invalidating the forecasting. A new mid-term forecasting with error suppression based on restricted Boltzmann machine(RBM) is proposed in this paper. The proposed model can suppress the error amplification by replacing the previous inputs with their features, which are retrieved by a deep belief network(DBN). Furthermore, a new mechanism is proposed to decide whether the forecasting result is accepted or not. The model is evaluated with several datasets. The reported experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed model compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.

Electrochemical micromachining of nitinol by confined-etchant-layer technique

The confined etchant layer technique has been applied to fabricate complex three-dimensional microstructures on nitinol for the first time. HF and HNO₃ were locally and simultaneously electrogenerated at the mold surface to etch a nitinol workpiece. NaOH was used as an efficient scavenger to confine the etchant close to the mold. Cyclic voltammetry was employed to study the electrochemical behavior of a Pt electrode in the etching solution in order to choose an appropriate potential for etchant generation on the mold. The thickness of the confined etchant layer was estimated to be several micrometers by inspecting the deviation of the sizes of the etched spots from the sizes of those on the microelectrode. Thus, the composition of the electrolyte could be optimized for better etching precision. By optimizing the composition of the electrolyte, complex microstructures on a Pt-Ir mold bearing the logo “XMU” of Xiamen University were successfully fabricated on nitinol. The etched patterns were approximately negative copies of the mold, and the precision of duplication could easily reach the micrometer scale.     

A comparative analysis of evolutionary and memetic algorithms for community detection from signed social networks

To detect communities in signed networks consisting of both positive and negative links, two new evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and two new memetic algorithms (MAs) are proposed and compared. Furthermore, two measures, namely the improved modularity Q and the improved modularity density D-value, are used as the objective functions. The improved measures not only preserve all properties of the original ones, but also have the ability of dealing with negative links. Moreover, D-value can also control the partition to different resolutions. To fully investigate the performance of these four algorithms and the two objective functions, benchmark social networks and various large-scale randomly generated signed networks are used in the experiments. The experimental results not only show the capability and high efficiency of the four algorithms in successfully detecting communities from signed networks, but also indicate that the two MAs outperform the two EAs in terms of the solution quality and the computational cost. Moreover, by tuning the parameter in D-value, the four algorithms have the multi-resolution ability.     

18世纪晚期市民阶级在德国文化中的自我塑造:《奢侈与时尚期刊》研究

本文通过研究<奢侈与时尚期刊>来分析18世纪德国市民阶级的自我塑造.它宣扬奢侈品消费加速了经济与社会的发展,也为文化进步和国家民族富裕提供了动力.它主要关注私生活里的文化与社会自身的构建,并帮助市民阶级进行自我塑造且与其他阶级进行区分.它还阐述了时尚与奢侈品消费的重要性与必要性,并驳斥了神学与道学将时尚视为虚荣及道德缺陷的偏见.它认为作为文化差异的一部分,服装特色的区分成为一种衡量人民与国家成熟与否的标尺.时尚发挥了视觉艺术的功能,甚至于也是一种行为艺术.此外,时尚还与身体复杂地联系在一起,两者缺一不可.
