The time course of spoken word learning and recognition: Studies with artificial lexicons.

The time course of spoken word recognition depends largely on the frequencies of a word and its competitors, or neighbors (similar-sounding words). However, variability in natural lexicons makes systematic analysis of frequency and neighbor similarity difficult. Artificial lexicons were used to achieve precise control over word frequency and phonological similarity. Eye tracking provided time course measures of lexical activation and competition (during spoken instructions to perform visually guided tasks) both during and after word learning, as a function of word frequency, neighbor type, and neighbor frequency. Apparent shifts from holistic to incremental competitor effects were observed in adults and neural network simulations, suggesting such shifts reflect general properties of learning rather than changes in the nature of lexical representations.

考虑介质变形和长期导流能力的裂缝性气藏压裂产能模拟研究

在气藏开采过程中，由于孔隙压力的不断降低，使得介质变形而导致渗透率的变化，进而影响井的产量。针对这一问题，提出了各种流体与固体耦合的数值模拟模型。然而，对于裂缝性储层和多相渗流问题，流固耦合模型中许多参数不易获取，且求解难度很大，使得耦合模型存在一定的应用局限性。很少有文献在气井产能模拟时将介质变形和就地的长期导流能力加以综合考虑。文章考虑介质变形引起的天然裂缝渗透率的变化和裂缝导流能力随时间递减的影响，建立了裂缝性气藏压裂后气水两相渗流数学模型，推导出了数值计算模型；本模型易于编程求解，对于研究裂缝性气藏的渗流特征，特别是进行单井压后产能预测具有一定的实用意义。计算表明：不考虑介质变形和导流能力递减所预测的气产量偏高；目前普遍使用的气藏数值模拟软件中，假定渗透率、裂缝导流能力为常数，以致模拟计算结果比实际偏高。

Slip and Twinning in Polycrystalline Alumina (α-Al2O3) Deformed under Hydrostatic Pressure between 600° and 1000°C

The microstructure of polycrystalline alumina deformed under hydrostatic pressure and at low temperature is investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Deformation occurs mainly by prism plane slip and rhombohedral twinning. Introduction of hydrogen leads to a significant decrease in the yield stress. In large grain size alumina deformed with hydrogen, accommodation of twinning involves dislocation reactions in the twin boundary and in the grains rather than by cracking. Prism plane dislocations decompose into basal dislocations by cross slip probably due to a decrease of Peierls stress for basal slip in the presence of hydrogen.

Solution of large deformation contact problems with friction between Blatz-Ko hyperelastic bodies

The present paper is devoted to the analysis of the contact problems with Coulomb friction and large deformation between two hyperelastic bodies. One approach to separate the material nonlinearity and contact nonlinearity is presented. The total Lagrangian formulation is adopted to describe the geometrically nonlinear behavior. Nondifferentiable contact potentials are regularized by means of the augmented Lagrangian method. Numerical examples are carried out in two cases: rigid-deformable contact and deformable-deformable contact with large slips. The numerical results prove that the proposed approach is robust and efficient concerning numerical stability.     

A study of the large strain deformation and failure behaviour of mixed biopolymer gels via in situ ESEM

A mixed biopolymer gel, consisting of a protein (gelatin) and polysaccharide (maltodextrin) mixture has been investigated. By controlling the composition it was possible to construct an ‘emulsion-like’ structure, with included spherical particles of one phase (maltodextrin) within a continuous matrix of the second (gelatin). Large strain deformation and failure behaviour of this system has been examined via in situ environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). ESEM has been employed to explore the changes in the structure of the material, whilst allowing the sample to stay hydrated as it was subjected to tensile strain, thereby allowing simultaneous imaging and determination of stress-strain data of the native sample. Ductile behaviour was observed, which has been attributed to the stretching, tearing and fracture of gelatin ligaments and debonding at the interface between the maltodextrin particles and continuous gelatin matrix. Deformation and fracture of the maltodextrin particles during tensile testing was also observed. The interfacial fracture energy of the composite has been calculated following an elastomer composite-debonding model, although there are several limitations to this approach for the mixed gel. It was found in samples tested after different ageing times that the debonding stress and strain was decreasing with ageing leading to a lower interfacial fracture energy. Samples were also tested after successive loading cycles, which resulted in a mechanical strength decrease after each cycle.     

Plastic deformation of bcc metal thin foils without dislocation

Heavy plastic deformation of fcc metal thin foils to fracture has been found recently to proceed without involving dislocations, and it results in the formation of high density of vacancy clusters. Thin foil specimens of bcc metals such as V and Mo were plastically deformed to fracture in in situ elongation experiments under an electron microscope. Morphology of thinning and fracture was found to be similar to fcc metals, and no dislocation was observed during heavy deformation. Electron diffraction analysis at the tip of a crack during deformation confirmed a large elastic deformation of up to 5%. Unlike in fcc metal thin foil specimens, point defect clusters were not observed near fractured tips. This difference is attributed to the difference in vacancy reaction, though the deformation in bcc metals without dislocation most likely does produce vacancies.
