Discounted least squares-improved circular back-propogation neural networks with applications in time series prediction

Summary As a generalization of the multi-layer perceptron (MLP), the circular back-propagation neural network (CBP) possesses better adaptability. An improved version of the CBP (the ICBP) is presented in this paper. Despite having less adjustable weights, the ICBP has better adaptability than the CBP, which quite equals the famous Occams razor principle for model selection. In its application to time series, considering both structural changes and correlations of time series itself, we introduce the principle of the discounted least squares (DLS) in CBP and ICBP, respectively, and investigate their predicting capacity further. Introduction of DLS improves the predicting performance of both on a benchmark time series data set. Finally, the comparison of experimental results shows that ICBP with DLS (DLS-ICBP) has better predicting performance than DLS-CBP.Supported by Natural Science (grant No.BK2002092) and QingLan project foundations of Jiangsu province and Returnee foundation of China.

鄂尔多斯盆地胡尖山地区长61致密砂岩储层成岩特征与孔隙度定量恢复

在对大量岩心和薄片分析的基础上,运用扫描电镜、阴极发光、高压压汞等实验手段,系统分析了鄂尔多斯盆地胡尖山地区长6₁储层的成岩作用特征及其对储层物性的影响,并进一步对孔隙演化进行了定量恢复。结果表明：胡尖山地区长6₁储层整体处于中成岩阶段A期,主要经历了压实—压溶、胶结、溶蚀等成岩作用,且不同成岩作用对储层的孔隙发育造成了不同程度的影响。压实作用破坏了大量原生粒间孔,是导致研究区储层致密最主要的因素,孔隙度平均减少了18.41%,孔隙空间损失率达56.62%;胶结作用次之,在堵塞了孔隙空间的同时也一定程度地增强了颗粒的抗压实强度,孔隙度平均降低了10.38%,孔隙空间损失率达19.78%;溶蚀作用使碎屑颗粒及填隙物等不稳定组分溶解而产生大量的次生孔隙,从而改善了储层物性,增加的孔隙度平均为2.26%。根据成岩作用对物性的影响,结合测井响应特征,将该区长6₁致密砂岩储层划分出绿泥石膜剩余粒间孔相、剩余粒间孔相、长石溶蚀相、黏土矿物胶结相、碳酸盐胶结相及压实相等6种成岩相带,绿泥石膜剩余粒间孔相是研究区最有利的油气储集相带,剩余粒间孔相次之。

Synthesis and Characterization of Mesoporous Alumina as a Catalyst Support for Hydrodechlorination of 1,2-Dichloropropane: Effect of Catalyst Preparation Method

A mesoporous alumina was synthesized by a posthydrolysis method. The prepared mesoporous alumina was found to have randomly ordered pores, and retained relatively high surface area with narrow pore size distribution centered at ca. 4nm. Nickel precursors were then supported on the mesoporous alumina by an impregnation (Ni-IMP) and vapor deposition (Ni-VD) method. Several characterizations were carried out in order to investigate physical and chemical properties of mesoporous alumina and supported Ni catalysts. TPR, XPS, and UV-DRS measurements revealed that the Ni-IMP catalyst retained much more amounts of surface nickel aluminate-like species than the Ni-VD sample. TPD experiments also showed that nickel aluminate species affected the adsorption amounts of reactant (1,2-dichloropropane). In the hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane (DCPA), DCPA conversion over the Ni-VD catalyst was about two times higher than that over the Ni-IMP catalyst at 300 °C. It is probably due to the fact that the Ni-VD catalyst, which had low contents of nickel aluminate species compared to the Ni-IMP catalyst, exhibited higher degree of reduction than the Ni-IMP catalyst at pretreatment conditions. The difference in DCPA conversion between two catalysts was closely related to the degree of reduction of nickel species and the amounts of adsorption of DCPA onto the catalyst as well.     

Application of a polymer heterojunction in dye-sensitized solar cells

Using a blend heterojunction consisting of a C₆₀ derivative, [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as a charge carrier transfer medium to replace the I₃⁻/I⁻ redox electrolyte, a novel TiO₂/dye/PCBM/P3HT dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated and characterized. It was found that the P3HT/PCBM heterojunction widened the incident light harvest range from ultraviolet to visible light, and improved the photoelectrical response of the dye-sensitized solar cell. We investigated the influence of the PCBM/P3HT ratio and barrier layer on the photoelectric performance of the solar cell and proposed optimized preparation conditions. The optimized solar cell with a barrier layer and PCBM/P3HT ratio of 1:2 had a short circuit current density of 5.52 mA cm⁻², an open circuit voltage of 0.87 V, a fill factor of 0.640 and a light-to-electric energy conversion efficiency of 3.09% under a simulated solar light irradiation of 100 mW cm⁻².     

挤压态AZ61镁合金磨损性能研究

主要研究了挤压态AZ61镁合金在不同载荷和滑动摩擦速度条件下的磨损性能。采用SEM对磨损面进行显微组织观察与分析,讨论了不同载荷下材料的主要磨损形式。结果表明,磨损质量损失随着滑动摩擦速度和载荷的增加而增加。挤压态AZ61镁合金的磨损机制主要分为轻微磨损和严重磨损。轻微磨损主要是擦伤磨损、氧化磨损与剥层磨损,在磨损面上形成的擦痕与裂纹,其磨损程度较轻,磨损面积小;当载荷增加到100N和120N时,塑性变形和熔化在磨损面形成的磨痕较深且磨损面积大,表现为严重磨损。
