Effect of the electrolyte composition on In and Ag–In alloy electrodeposition from cyanide electrolytes

A procedure for preparation of clear and stable indium cyanide electrolytes, containing indium salt, d(+)-Glucose and KCN is proposed. NMR investigations revealed that the formation of a complicated indium complex in which the products of the disintegration of d(+)-Glucose in the KCN-solution are closely situated to the indium ion ensures the clearness of the electrolyte. The effect of nitrate, chloride and sulphate ions on the electrochemical processes of indium and silver–indium alloy electrodeposition is studied by cyclic voltammetry. During alloy electrodeposition under galvanostatic conditions unique spatio–temporal structures are observed on the cathodic surface.     

乌东德地下厂房岩体深部加固及施工程序研究

乌东德水电站右岸地下厂房洞室群赋存于前震旦系褶皱基底,为陡倾下游的层状浅变质岩。主厂房第Ⅵ层大桩号段开挖时,单次长度达35.0 m,由于上游边墙处的施工支洞顶部岩体挖除、侧向约束解除、边墙高度突增,导致主厂房上游边墙岩体深部出现较大范围的沿层面开裂及滑移、围岩变形及锚索受力陡增,危及到主厂房施工及运行期安全。为此,采用三维离散元法对岩体开裂部位加固及第Ⅵ层后续开挖区段长度进行了对比研究,并提出了"锚索+接缝灌浆"的处理方案及"小区段、间隔开挖+及时支护"的施工程序。目前,右岸地下厂房已全部开挖完成,各部位监测项目均已收敛,监测成果验证了加固方案及开挖程序的合理性。相关思路可为后续同类工程的建设提供参考。     

Discovering social structures of local influence by using tweetStimuli

Information diffusion in large-scale networks has been studied to identify the users influence. The influence has been targeted as a key feature either to reach large populations or influencing public opinion. Through the use of micro-blogs, such as Twitter, global influencers have been identified and ranked based on message propagation (retweets). In this paper, a new application is presented, which allows to find first and classify then the local influence on Twitter: who have influenced you and who have been influenced by you. Until now, social structures of tweets’ original authors that have been either retweeted or marked as favourites are unobservable. Throughout this application, these structures can be discovered and they reveal the existence of communities formed by users of similar profile (that are connected among them) interrelated with other similar profile users’ communities.     

String analysis by sliding positioning strategy

Discovering frequent factors from long strings is an important problem in many applications, such as biosequence mining. In classical approaches, the algorithms process a vast database of small strings. However, in this paper we analyze a small database of long strings. The main difference resides in the high number of patterns to analyze. To tackle the problem, we have developed a new algorithm for discovering frequent factors in long strings. We present an Apriori-like solution which exploits the fact that any super-pattern of a non-frequent pattern cannot be frequent. The SANSPOS algorithm does a multiple-pass, candidate generation and test approach. Multiple length patterns can be generated in a pass. This algorithm uses a new data structure to arrange nodes in a trie. A Positioning Matrix is defined as a new positioning strategy. By using Positioning Matrices, we can apply advanced prune heuristics in a trie with a minimal computational cost. The Positioning Matrices let us process strings including Short Tandem Repeats and calculate different interestingness measures efficiently. Furthermore, in our algorithm we apply parallelism to transverse different sections of the input strings concurrently, speeding up the resulting running time. The algorithm has been successfully used in natural language and biological sequence contexts.     

Group‐in‐a‐Box Meta‐Layouts for Topological Clusters and Attribute‐Based Groups: Space‐Efficient Visualizations of Network Communities and Their Ties

An important part of network analysis is understanding community structures like topological clusters and attribute‐based groups. Standard approaches for showing communities using colour, shape, rectangular bounding boxes, convex hulls or force‐directed layout algorithms remain valuable, however our Group‐in‐a‐Box meta‐layouts add a fresh strategy for presenting community membership, internal structure and inter‐cluster relationships. This paper extends the basic Group‐in‐a‐Box meta‐layout, which uses a Treemap substrate of rectangular regions whose size is proportional to community size. When there are numerous inter‐community relationships, the proposed extensions help users view them more clearly: (1) the Croissant–Doughnut meta‐layout applies empirically determined rules for box arrangement to improve space utilization while still showing inter‐community relationships, and (2) the Force‐Directed layout arranges community boxes based on their aggregate ties at the cost of additional space. Our free and open source reference implementation in NodeXL includes heuristics to choose what we have found to be the preferable Group‐in‐a‐Box meta‐layout to show networks with varying numbers or sizes of communities. Case study examples, a pilot comparative user preference study (nine participants), and a readability measure‐based evaluation of 309 Twitter networks demonstrate the utility of the proposed meta‐layouts.     

库水升降速率对老蛇窝滑坡稳定性影响分析

通过监测资料分析和滑坡稳定性数值计算,探讨了三峡库水位在不同升降速率下对老蛇窝滑坡稳定性的影响规律。研究结果表明,理论上库水位上升有利于老蛇窝滑坡的稳定,但实际运行中库水位上升是不利于滑坡稳定的,因为库水浸泡会使滑坡前缘塌岸;老蛇窝滑坡为动水压力型滑坡,最主要诱发因素为库水位的下(骤)降;老蛇窝滑坡稳定性的临界库水位调度速率为0.9 m/d,即当库水位下降速率大于0.9 m/d时,滑坡K值小于1。

Structures and electronic properties of surface/edges of nanodiamond and nanographite

The structure, electronic and magnetic properties of nanodiamond and nanographite/nanographene are investigated. Detonation nanodiamond particles that are covered with amorphous graphitic composites are hydrothermally treated to remove the graphitic surface composites and to terminate the surface carbon atoms with hydrogen. The number of localized spins of dangling bonds and the hydrogen concentration increase upon the increase in the hydrothermal treatment time up to 40 h. Above 40 h, both drop discontinuously, a surface structural reconstruction was suggested. The creation of dangling bonds and an incomplete hydrogenation of the surface carbon atoms destabilize the surface, resulting in the structural reconstruction. Nanodiamond particles are thermally converted to nanographite/nanographene. A single nanographene sheet is successfully prepared by heat-treating nanodiamond particles. The edge of graphene sheet with its edge carbon atoms being hydrogen-terminated is investigated by UHV-STM/STS. Zigzag edges are found to have non-bonding π-state of edge origin, in good agreement with theoretical prediction.
