Instability of diatomic deuterium in fcc palladium

To clarify some of the solid-state aspects of cold fusion in deuterated transition metal electrodes, we have carried out first-principles self-consistent total energy calculations for various configurations of atomic and diatomic deuterium inside fcc palladium. We find that the stability of the Pd+D system is controlled by the relative position of the deuterium-inducedantibonding level with respect to the Fermi energy. The equilibrium D-D distance in dense PdD up to =3 is found to be much larger than the free space value. The calculated Born-Oppenheimer energy surface of diatomic D₂ in crystalline palladiuim is shown to have but metastable local minima whose internuclear separation is at least 0.2 Ålarger than that of the isolated D₂ molecule. We conclude that D₂ incrystalline Pd will have a substantially lower tunneling probability than hitherto thought and that explanation for fusion mechanisms should be sought elsewhere.

Interactive genetic algorithms with large population and semi-supervised learning

Interactive genetic algorithms are effective methods of solving optimization problems with implicit (qualitative) criteria by incorporating a user's intelligent evaluation into traditional evolution mechanisms. The heavy evaluation burden of the user, however, is crucial and limits their applications in complex optimization problems. We focus on reducing the evaluation burden by presenting a semi-supervised learning assisted interactive genetic algorithm with large population. In this algorithm, a population with many individuals is adopted to efficiently explore the search space. A surrogate model built with an improved semi-supervised learning method is employed to evaluate a part of individuals instead of the user to alleviate his/her burden in evaluation. Incorporated with the principles of the improved semi-supervised learning, the opportunities of applying and updating the surrogate model are determined by its confidence degree in estimation, and the informative individuals reevaluated by the user are selected according to the concept of learning from mistakes. We quantitatively analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm and apply it to the design of sunglasses lenses, a representative optimization problem with one qualitative criterion. The empirical results demonstrate the strength of our algorithm in searching for satisfactory solutions and easing the evaluation burden of the user.     

Improved stability conditions for systems with interval time-varying delay

The paper is concerned with the stability of linear systems with interval time-varying delay. Through constructing a new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) which contains some quadruple-integral terms and estimating the time derivative of the LKF less conservatively, new stability criteria are derived without introducing any free matrices. Moreover, by proving the positive definiteness of the LKF with some integral inequalities, the constraints on some functional parameters are relaxed and the conservatism of the obtained results are further reduced. Numerical examples are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the obtained results.     

Study on diffusion welding SiCp/ZL101 with Cu interlayer

Through the vacuum diffusion welding SiCp/ZL101 aluminum with Cu interlayer,the effect of welding parame-ter and the thickness of Cu on the welded joint property was investigated,and the optimal welding parameters were putforward at the same time.The microstructure of joint was analyzed by means of optical-microscope,scanning electron mi-croscope in order to study the relationship between the macro-properties of joint and the microstructure.The results showthat diffusion welding with Cu interlayer could be used for welding aluminum matrix composites SiCp/ZL101 successfully.
