The Application of Ozone for Water Treatment In The United Kingdom — Current Practive and Recent Research

Only two water works in the UK apply ozone at present as part of their treatment, onefor taste and odor control and theother forcolor removal. Forthetwo applicationus ozone was the most economical option at thetime theplants were installed andozone has been successful for the purpose for which it was designed.

Phase equilibria in the system Al-Rh

Methods of differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, microstructural analysis and electron probe microanalysis are used to study alloys of the Al-Rh system over the whole concentration range. It is established that the phase of equiatomic composition AlRh melts congruently at 2060°C and it has an extended range of homogeneity (45.1–54.2 at.% Rh). The solubility of aluminum in rhodium reaches 9 at.%, decreasing to 6 at.% at 850°C. Coordinates are determined for the eutectic point l ⇆ AlRh + 〈Rh〉 as 70 at.% Rh and 1715°C. The existence of intermediate phases, their crystal structure, and also the method of forming phases in the field of composition rich in aluminum given in publications are confirmed. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Nos. 5–6(449), pp. 48–56, May–June, 2006.

A hierarchical model for structure learning based on the physiological characteristics of neurons

Almost all applications of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) depend mainly on their memory ability. The characteristics of typical ANN models are fixed connections, with evolved weights, globalized representations, and globalized optimizations, all based on a mathematical approach. This makes those models to be deficient in robustness, efficiency of learning, capacity, anti-jamming between training sets, and correlativity of samples, etc. In this paper, we attempt to address these problems by adopting the characteristics of biological neurons in morphology and signal processing. A hierarchical neural network was designed and realized to implement structure learning and representations based on connected structures. The basic characteristics of this model are localized and random connections, field limitations of neuron fan-in and fan-out, dynamic behavior of neurons, and samples represented through different sub-circuits of neurons specialized into different response patterns. At the end of this paper, some important aspects of error correction, capacity, learning efficiency, and soundness of structural representation are analyzed theoretically. This paper has demonstrated the feasibility and advantages of structure learning and representation. This model can serve as a fundamental element of cognitive systems such as perception and associative memory.     

Compact Dipole Antenna for Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Service

A compact dipole antenna for the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (TDMB) application is presented. The length of the antenna is about 0.06λ at the TDMB resonance frequency of 190 MHz. Miniaturization of the antenna is achieved by using meander structures and lumped elements. The proposed antenna has two resonance frequencies and covers the TDMB band from 174 MHz to 216 MHz in Korea. The antenna has good impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics for the TDMB. The experimental results of the designed dipole antenna are presented and analyzed.

新抗冲型ACR的合成与研究

采用种子乳液聚合法制备了含有PBA＼PMMA＼PS三种组分的丙烯酸酯类抗冲型改性剂ACR，在ACR的幔层结构中引入接枝剂甲基丙烯酸烯丙酯（ALMA）来完善幔层结构，从而实现核一壳之间良好的结合，用红外光谱（FTIR）和差示扫描量热法（DSC）对ACR的组成和结构进行表征。研究结果表明：由PBA＼PMMA＼PS三组分构成的ACR在抗冲击性能上要略优于由简单的PBA＼PMMA构成的ACR，苯乙烯单体（St）最多可以取代大约1／3壳层的甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA），甲基丙烯酸烯丙酯（ALMA）的引入对幔层结构的完善起了显著的作用。     

试论安定性不合格消石灰对柔性路面质量的影响

由于过烧石灰的存在和消解不当等原因，造成消石灰安定性不合格，当石灰稳定类路面结构成型或投入使用后，消石灰中的生石灰颗粒开始吸收周围水分，慢慢消解，消解过程中发生体积膨胀，对路面产生破坏。解决石灰安定性问题对防止公路前修后坏，延长路面使用寿命具有积极的现实意义。
