3-D gust effect factor for slender vertical structures

Original studies on gust factor buffeting dealt with the alongwind displacement of structures. Research on this topic carried out since the nineties followed two distinct lines: the first determines the maximum effects due to the alongwind response; the second extends the original method from the alongwind response to crosswind and torsional responses. This paper represents the junction point of these research lines with reference to cantilever slender vertical structures. It derives the most relevant effects associated with the three-dimensional (3-D) wind-excited response of this structural type and shows that a suitable definition of one non-dimensional quantity, referred to as the 3-D gust effect factor, provides such effects at any level through a wide set of experimental, numerical and analytical procedures. A new definition of a 3-D equivalent static force consistent with this method is also introduced and critically compared with previous analogous statements.     

Transient operation of a catalytic liquid-liquid plug flow reactor for kinetics measurements

A centrifugal partition chromatograph (CPC) was used as a liquid-liquid catalytic reactor for the isomerisation of hexen-3-ol into ethylpropylketone with a water soluble rhodium catalyst. Global mass transfer coefficients were measured and shown to depend on both the nature of the solute and the flow rate. Liquid-liquid partition isotherms were also determined with the CPC using elution chromatography. Finally, a reactor model was derived to account for the experimental results obtained both under stationary and transient (pulse) conditions. A parameter sensitivity evaluation is also presented.     

Application of Laminated Edible Films to Potato Chip Packaging

The effects of various stearic-palmitic acid blend concentrations in films, storage temperatures and storage times on potato chip quality were evaluated using Response Surface Methodology. Storage temperature and time affected the quality of potato chips. The maximum storage times for acceptable potato chip quality were: 30 to 43 days, 23 to 25 days, and 11 to 12 days for storage temperatures of 15, 25 and 35°C, respectively. Results were independent of stearic-palmitic acid blend concentrations.

Two-level optimal output feedback stabilizer design

The paper addresses the design of two-level power system stabilizers using an optimal reduced order model whose state variables are torque angles and speeds. The reduced order model retains their physical meaning and is used to design a two-level linear feedback controller that takes into account the realities and constraints of electrical power systems. The two-level control strategy is used, and a global control signal is generated from the output variables to minimize the effect of interactions. The effectiveness of this controller is evaluated and a multimachine system is given as an example to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method. Responses of the system with a two-level scheme and an optimal reduced order scheme are included for comparative analysis.     

准噶尔盆地不整合结构的地球物理响应及油气成藏意义

准噶尔盆地自成盆期以来经历了多期次构造运动,形成数个不整合。这些不整合在剖面上可分为5种类型,它们在地震上具有明显的反射特征。在纵向上,不整合分为3层结构,每层结构发育着多种岩石类型,它们在测井曲线组合上具各自不同的响应。不整合纵向的分层结构构成油气运移的双重通道,同时为油气聚集提供良好的储集空间和圈闭条件。尽管不整合的成藏条件有共同之处,但由于形成各类不整合时的应力强度、应力作用方式及地层变形程度等存在差异,导致不同类型的不整合还具有各自不同的油气成藏模式。      

黄骅坳陷白水头-唐家河地区东营组地层地震模拟及响应曲线分析

根据对黄骅坳陷白水头—唐家河地区东营组钻井资料的统计分析，设计了3种不同地质模型．用于分析不同厚度、不同孔隙度和不同流体性质的储层所表现出的地层速度和密度特性，进而通过地震正演模拟研究，得到不同储层参数状况下的响应曲线。分析响应曲线发现，在该地区，当含水砂岩厚度为20m时．其地震反射振幅最大；而含油帮岩在厚度为18m时达到最大。当孔隙度达到22％时．含油砂岩的地震反射振幅会发生极性反转；而含水砂岩在孔隙度为28％时极性反转。这就为该地区的地震储层预测提供了依据。     

Frontolimbic Response to Negative Feedback in Clinical Depression.

Functional neuroimaging suggests that limbic regions of the medial frontal cortex may be abnormally active in individuals with depression. These regions, including the anterior cingulate cortex, are engaged in both action regulation, such as monitoring errors and conflict, and affect regulation, such as responding to pain. The authors examined whether clinically depressed subjects would show abnormal sensitivity of frontolimbic networks as they evaluated negative feedback. Depressed subjects and matched control subjects performed a video game in the laboratory as a 256-channel EEG was recorded. Speed of performance on each trial was graded with a feedback signal of A, C, or F. By 350 ms after the feedback signal, depressed subjects showed a larger medial frontal negativity for all feedback compared with control subjects with a particularly striking response to the F grade. This response was strongest for moderately depressed subjects and was attenuated for subjects who were more severely depressed. Localization analyses suggested that negative feedback engaged sources in the anterior cingulate and insular cortices. These results suggest that moderate depression may sensitize limbic networks to respond strongly to aversive events. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
