In Situ FTIR Study of the Formation of an Organosilane Layer at the Silica/Solution Interface

An FTIR experiment especially designed to study the growth of an organosilane layer at the interface between a solution and a flat silica surface is presented. High sensitivity is achieved by using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique in a liquid flow cell. The ATR crystal, either silicon or germanium, is covered with a very thin silica layer. Chemical reactions of a mono-and a di-hydrolyzable silane with the silica substrate have been investigated. The grafting of a submonolayer of the first reagent has been monitored by following the C-H and SiO-H vibrations. The density of grafted molecules has been estimated and information on the nature of the chemical bonding has been achieved. Evidence for the chain-polymerization of the dihydrolyzable silane at the substrate/solution interface has been inferred from the appearance of a Si-O-Si absorption band.     

基于正则总体最小二乘准则的OFDM系统信道估计算法

基于导频的最小二乘(LS)估计方法的优点是结构简单,容易实现,但对噪声和干扰敏感。通过对OFDM系统中由于信道的时变性产生的载波间干扰进行了分析,在此基础上提出正则总体最小二乘(TLS)信道估计算法。根据Tikhonov正则化原理,导出了总体最小二乘正则化解法的计算公式。与一般的LS信道估计相比,TLS方法同时考虑了信道噪声和信道时变特性,所以该算法不仅在一般的信道条件下具有良好的性能而且也适合快变信道条件下的OFDM系统。仿真结果表明,该算法具有很好的均方误差和误比特率性能。     

关于饱和软土地基堤坝边坡稳定分析总应力法的讨论

在饱和的软土地基上修筑堤坝,由于孔隙水压力不易准确测定,需采用“φ=0”的总应力法进行稳定分析。这一做法在国外已明确纳入设计规范,在国内工程界较少受到重视,导致过高地估计了安全系数。本文首先系统地回顾了临界状态土力学中的伏斯列夫强度理论,在理论上阐述了饱和软土地基快速填筑时采用总应力法的原因,同时引用了Bishop和Bjerrum、美国联邦公路局、美国陆军工程师团与我国水电水利工程边坡设计规范的相关条文,确认在饱和软土地基采用总应力法进行稳定分析的合理性。以花敖泡土石坝和拉哇水电站围堰为工程实例,分别采用对土的固结不排水剪的两种做法开展稳定性分析,结果表明,直接将土的固结不排水剪强度指标ccu与φcu作为填筑后的强度参数,将严重高估其安全系数。因此建议正在修订的碾压式土石坝与边坡设计规范增加相应条文,并期望引起工程界对这一问题的重视。     

矩形明渠消力池水跃的水头损失研究

为了研究沿程水头损失与局部水头损失的变化规律,根据沿程水头损失的基本定义,推求矩形明渠消力池水跃区沿程水头损失与床面阻力系数、水跃共轭水深比、跃前断面宽高比及跃前断面水深的理论关系,提出了矩形明渠水跃区沿程水头损失及其系数和局部水头损失系数的理论公式,给出了沿程水头损失系数、局部水头损失系数和总水头损失系数的简单拟合公式。研究表明:沿程水头损失随着跃前断面水深和床面阻力系数的增大而增大,随着水跃共轭水深比和跃前断面宽高比的增大而减小;局部水头损失系数随着跃前断面弗劳德数的增大而增大;水跃区局部水头损失占比随着弗劳德数的增加而增加,弗劳德数为3时的局部水头损失占比达到90%,弗劳德数为6时的局部水头损失占比已达到95%以上。研究成果可进一步完善并丰富水跃理论体系。     

Towards sustainable industry 4.0: A green real-time IIoT multitask scheduling architecture for distributed 3D printing services

As the keystones of the personalized manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) consolidated with 3D printing pave the path for the era of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. By resembling the age of craft manufacturing, Industry 4.0 expedites the alteration from mass production to mass customization. When distributed 3D printers (3DPs) are shared and collaborated in the IIoT, a promising dynamic, globalized, economical, and time-effective manufacturing environment for customized products will appear. However, the optimum allocation and scheduling of the personalized 3D printing tasks (3DPTs) in the IIoT in a manner that respects the customized attributes submitted for each model while satisfying not only the real-time requirements but also the workload balancing between the distributed 3DPs is an inevitable research challenge that needs further in-depth investigations. Therefore, to address this issue, this paper proposes a real-time green-aware multi-task scheduling architecture for personalized 3DPTs in the IIoT. The proposed architecture is divided into two interconnected folds, namely, allocation and scheduling. A robust online allocation algorithm is proposed to generate the optimal allocation for the 3DPTs. This allocation algorithm takes into consideration meeting precisely the customized user-defined attributes for each submitted 3DPT in the IIoT as well as balancing the workload between the distributed 3DPs simultaneously with improving their energy efficiency. Moreover, meeting the predefined deadline for each submitted 3DPT is among the main objectives of the proposed architecture. Consequently, an adaptive real-time multi-task priority-based scheduling (ARMPS) algorithm has been developed. The built ARMPS algorithm respects both the dynamicity and the real-time requirements of the submitted 3DPTs. A set of performance evaluation tests has been performed to thoroughly investigate the robustness of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results proved the robustness and scalability of the proposed architecture that surpasses its counterpart state-of-the-art architectures, especially in high-load environments.     

Register allocation for write activity minimization on non-volatile main memory for embedded systems

Non-volatile memories are good candidates for DRAM replacement as main memory in embedded systems and they have many desirable characteristics. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of non-volatile memory co-exist with its advantages. First, the lifetime of some of the non-volatile memories is limited by the number of erase operations. Second, read and write operations have asymmetric speed or power consumption in non-volatile memory. This paper focuses on the embedded systems using non-volatile memory as main memory. We propose register allocation technique with re-computation to reduce the number of store instructions. When non-volatile memory is applied as the main memory, reducing store instructions will reduce write activities on non-volatile memory. To re-compute the spills effectively during register allocation, a novel potential spill selection strategy is proposed. During this process, live range splitting is utilized to split certain long live ranges such that they are more likely to be assigned into registers. In addition, techniques for re-computation overhead reduction is proposed on systems with multiple functional units. With the proposed approach, the lifetime of non-volatile memory is extended accordingly. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique can efficiently reduce the number of store instructions on systems with non-volatile memory by 33% on average.

Pro-Inflammatory Effect of Gliadins and Glutenins Extracted from Different Wheat Cultivars on an In Vitro 3D Intestinal Epithelium Model

There is a need to assess the relationship between improved rheological properties and the immunogenic potential of wheat proteins. The present study aimed to investigate the in vitro effects of total protein extracts from three modern and two landrace Triticum aestivum commercial flour mixes, with significant differences in gluten strength (GS), on cell lines. Cytotoxicity and innate immune responses induced by wheat proteins were investigated using Caco-2 monocultures, two dimensional (2D) Caco-2/U937 co-cultures, and three dimensional (3D) co-cultures simulating the intestinal mucosa with Caco-2 epithelial cells situated above an extra-cellular matrix containing U937 monocytes and L929 fibroblasts. Modern wheat proteins, with increased GS, significantly reduced Caco-2 cell proliferation and vitality in monoculture and 2D co-cultures than landrace proteins. Modern wheat proteins also augmented Caco-2 monolayer disruption and tight junction protein, occludin, redistribution in 3D co-cultures. Release of interleukin-8 into the cell medium and increased U937 monocyte migration in both 2D and 3D co-cultures were similarly apparent. Immuno-activation of migrating U937 cells was evidenced from cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) staining and CD11b-related differentiation into macrophages. The modern wheat proteins, with gluten polymorphism relatedness and increased GS, were shown to be more cytotoxic and immunogenic than the landrace wheat proteins.     

再生砖混骨料混凝土柱的小偏心受压性能

通过小偏心受压性能试验对比研究3根的天然骨料混凝土柱和3根同强度全再生砖混骨料混凝土柱,强度分别为C25、C30和C35. 对6根柱进行加载试验,分析再生砖混骨料混凝土柱相比于同强度天然骨料混凝土柱在受力过程、破坏特征、变形能力与承载力等方面的差异. 试验发现,再生砖混骨料混凝土柱在小偏心加载至破坏的过程中,具有与天然骨料混凝土柱相似的3个受力阶段,且符合平截面假定. 与同强度的天然骨料混凝土柱相比,变形较大,但再生砖混骨料混凝土柱的极限承载力略高,原因可能在于两者轴心抗压强度的差异.
