Learning search keywords for construction procurement

Seeking information from websites has become an essential part of a contractor's procurement undertaking, as more and more procurement websites become available on the Internet. Websites host extremely large amounts of information; a keyword search, therefore, is often more efficient than browsing via an index. However, in order to find the desired information, it may be necessary to enter keywords using a trial-and-error process. This research recognizes that professional procurement experience can help users search website information more effectively, by using fewer keywords, and so proposes a learning model and suggestion model that can capture such experience, thus guiding inexperienced users in their search. Experiments, evaluating the performance of the system, were also conducted.     

A study of arc stability of basic electrode in view of uniform design method

In order to develop a basic electrode with low fume and good usability, a uew slag system has been designed after analyzing several basic electrode slag systems. Then in view of uniform design method, arranging the experiment points by it, the influenced laws of the uew system coating compouents on the arc stability had been searched. In the formula, niue coating compouents were taken as independent variables and they were divided into six levels in all twenty-four experiments. The arc stability was taken as function and taken down the data when welding and then put them into the computer to be processed statistically. The analysis results give the mathematical model and trend diagrams between independent variables and the function. They indicate that the effects of many coating compouents on the arc stability are in the mutual form. The mutual effects between CaCO3 and BaF2, BaF2 and BaCO3 , increases the arc stability separately. While the mutual effects between CaF2 and iron powder, the square item of iron powder itself decreases the arc stability separately.

The total domination and total bondage numbers of extended de Bruijn and Kautz digraphs

In this paper we consider the total domination number and the total bondage number for digraphs. The total bondage number, defined as the minimum number of edges whose removal enlarges the total domination number, measures to some extent the robustness of a network where a minimum total dominating set is required. We determine the total domination number and total bondage number of the extended de Burijn digraph and the extended Kautz digraph, proposed by Shibata and Gonda in 1995, which generalize the classical de Bruijn digraph and the Kautz digraph.     

Formation of mushroom-like ZnO microcrystals through a solution calcination process

Mushroom-like ZnO microcrystals have been prepared via a solution calcination route, using Zn(NO₃)₂ as Zn source in the absence of any surfactants, templates or catalysts. This is the first example to prepare mushroom-like crystals as semiconductors, which are expected to show particular physical properties. The ZnO products were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum measurements. A suitable concentration of Zn(NO₃)₂ solution was important for the growth of the mushroom-like products. The reported synthetic procedure is straightforward and inexpensive, and thus can be readily adopted to produce large quantities of mushroom-like ZnO microcrystals.     

Novel one-step route for synthesizing sub-micrometer PSt hollow spheres via redox interfacial-initiated method in inversed emulsion

Interfacial-initiated polymerization of styrene (St) was carried out in inversed emulsion with cumene hydroperoxide (CHPO) and ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄)/disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (NaEDTA)/sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (SFS) as the redox initiation system. The water-soluble Fe²⁺-NaEDTA-SFS acted as the reducing component and the oil-soluble CHPO as the oxidant component of the redox initiation system. Therefore, the primary radicals were produced mainly at the oil/water interface to initiate the polymerization of St. Thus, sub-micrometer hollow polystyrene (PSt) spheres were obtained by one-stage polymerization, which was supported by the techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM).     

Shape-control of nano-ZnO by changing the solvent

ZnO sub-micrometer sized disk using ethanol/water mixed solution as solvent is synthesized by solvent-thermal process without any additive, while ZnO nanorods are obtained when water is used as solvent. This formation of disk is discussed based on the reaction of Zn-terminated ZnO (0001) plane with ethanol molecule, which results in the passivation of ZnO (0001) planes and lowering the free surface energy of ZnO (0001).     

Applying data mining to learn system dynamics in a biological model

Data mining consists of a set of powerful methods that have been successfully applied to many different application domains, including business, engineering, and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach that uses genetic algorithms to mine a set of temporal behavior data output by a biological system in order to determine the kinetic parameters of the system. Analyzing the behavior of a biological network is a complicated task. In our approach, the machine learning method is integrated with the framework of system dynamics so that its findings are expressed in a form of system dynamics model. An application of the method to the cell division cycle model has shown that the method can discover approximate parametric values of the system and reproduce the input behavior.     

Research and application of automatic control system of argon blowing at ladle shroud

Argon blowing at the ladle shroud requires the best flow control strategy to effectively avoid the secondary oxidation of molten steel, slag entrapment and heat loss during the casting of the tundish, and at the same time, give full play to the role of bubbles to remove inclusions. Therefore, an automatic control system for argon blowing at the ladle shroud was proposed. The data collected by S7-300PLC and software programming were used to adjust the argon blowing flow online in real time according to factors such as pouring and continuous pouring. On this basis, PID control algorithm and closed loop control mechanism were used for real time adjustment. The flow control valve ensures theminimum deviation between the actual value of the flow and the set value. The production data of this system in the first quarter of 2021 in a special steel plant show that the proportion of furnaces with an acid soluble aluminum (Als) loss percentage of less than 10% of each steel grade has increased by 5.52%, and the proportion of furnaces with an Als loss percentage of more than 60% has increased from 1% decrease to 0. The actual application results show that the use of the system improves the surface quality of the continuous casting slab and the performance of the final product.
