A New Method for Comparing Orthonasal and Retronasal Olfaction.

Odors seem to be perceived differently when presented ortho- or retronasally. In this study, stimuli of controlled concentration and duration were applied in either the anterior nasal cavity or epipharynx by means of air-dilution olfactometry. Stimulus concentration was monitored in the olfactory cleft. In Experiment 1, odor thresholds to a food (chocolate) and a nonfood (lavender) odor were lower for orthonasal, compared with retronasal, stimulation. In Experiment 2, intensity ratings to suprathreshold odor concentrations were significantly higher for orthonasal than for retronasal stimulation with hydro- hydrogen sulfide, but not phenyl ethyl alcohol. Accordingly, amplitudes and latencies of olfactory event-related gen potentials to retronasal stimuli were found to be smaller and prolonged, respectively. This indicates differential processing of olfactory stimuli presented through the retronasal or orthonasal routes. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

乙烯裂解炉内传递和反应过程综合数值模拟Ⅱ.反应管内传递和反应过程的数值模拟

采用乙烯裂解炉传递反应过程综合数学模型中的反应管数学模型，对工业裂解炉反应管进行了系统的数值模拟，得到了反应管内流场、温度场和浓度场的详细信息，揭示了反应管内流动、传热、传质和裂解反应的基本特点。模拟结果表明，沿反应管轴向油气吸热升温，裂解反应加剧，产物产率逐渐发生变化；沿反应管径向存在明显的流体流速和温度的变化，而产物产率的变化不如流体流速和温度的变化明显。通过比较湍流粘度和分子粘度的大小，认为29．975～30mm的径向区域为层流层，层流层的存在使得临近管壁的区域内流体流速和温度变化显著。     

Optimisation of metallic pigments in coatings by an electrochemical technique and an investigation of manganese powder as pigment for metal rich primers

Zinc dust and manganese powder as pigments were incorporated in epoxy-polyamide and butyl titanate medium, with different pigment volume concentration (PVC) ranging from 20 to 74. These protective coatings were coated on sand blasted mild steel substrates and immersed in 3 wt.% sodium chloride solution and the corrosion current was measured by the Tafel extrapolation method. From the corrosion current produced by these primers, the optimum level of the pigments in these binders was identified. Thus the protective performance of optimised primers was evaluated on a sand blasted mild steel surface by the Tafel polarisation method in 3 wt.% sodium chloride solution, over different periods of time. The results were found to be comparable with the salt spray test and galvanic current measurements. The manganese powder used for this investigation showed that it could be used as an alternative to zinc powder for metal rich primers.

Solubilization of unilamellar liposomes by betaine-type zwitterionic/anionic surfactant systems

The mechanisms governing the solubilizing interactions between zwitterionic/anionic mixed surfactant systems at different molar fractions of the zwitterionic surfactant (X_zwitter) and neutral or electrically charged unilamellar liposomes were investigated. The mixed systems were formed by N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylbetaine and sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of piperazine-1,4-bis-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) buffer at pH 7.20. Unilamellar liposomes formed by egg phosphatidylcholine, in some cases together with stearylamine or phosphatidic acid, were used. Solubilization was detected as a decrease in static light-scattering of liposomes. Two parameters were regarded as corresponding to the effective surfactant/lipid molar ratios (Re) at which the surfactant system (i) saturated the liposomes, Re_sat, and (ii) led to a total solubilization of liposomes, Re_sol. From these parameters the bilayer/aqueous medium surfactant partition coefficients for the saturation (K_sat) and complete bilayer solubilization (K_sol) were determined. When X_zwitter was 0.40, The Re and K parameters showed a maximum, whereas the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of these systems exhibited a minimum, regardless of the electrical charge of bilayers. Given that the ability of the surfactant systems to saturate or solubilize liposomes is inversely related to the Re_sat and Re_sol parameters, these capacities appear to be directly correlated with the CMC of the mixed systems. The similarity of both K_sat and K_sol (particularly for X_zwitter=0.2–0.8) suggests that a similar partition equilibrium governs both the saturation and the complete solubilization of bilayers, the free surfactant concentration (S_a,S_b), remaining almost constant with similar values to the CMC for each mixed system studied.

Stress concentration and fatigue of profiled reinforcing steels

Stress concentrations arise from profiles of ribbed reinforcing steel bars and in this study the results of calculated stress concentration factors (SCF), by using finite element method, are related to the fatigue test results. It is apparent that the degree of confinement of a ribbed bar embedded in concrete not only affects the magnitude of the ultimate bond stress but also the bond stress-slip relation. Thus the rib geometry or profile pattern is designed for optimum bond characteristics and not for fatigue considerations. However the rib geometry influences the fatigue performance through the SCFs arising from the root radius, width and flank angles of the profiles. It is shown that these latter factors have a significant influence on the fatigue behaviour of reinforcing steel bars.     

基于类间分散度和类内集中度的文本特征选择。

特征选择是文本分类的关键步骤之一,所选特征子集的优劣直接影响文本分类的结果。论文首先定义了两种特征分类能力：一种是特征对类间文档的分散程度,该分散度越大越好;另一种是特征对类内文档的聚集程度,该集中度越大越好。然后把这两种特征影响度有机地结合起来设计了一个新的特征选择方法,该方法能够对所选特征进行综合考虑,从而使获得的特征集具有较好的代表性。仿真实验表明所提特征选择方法在一定程度上能够提高文本分类性能。

水电水利工程压力钢管灌浆孔应力集中敏感性因素研究

水电水利工程压力钢管开孔灌浆后,需对灌浆孔严密封堵,处理不好会对工程安全运行留下隐患。在总结国内外灌浆孔常用封堵方案基础上,以某水电站地下埋管为例,建立平面有限元模型,分析其灌浆开孔后管壁应力集中现象,研究了补强板厚度及堵头坡口深度对压力钢管灌浆孔应力集中的敏感性。结果表明,应力集中程度随补强板厚度及堵头坡口深度增加递减,堵头坡口深度对其影响更加敏感。对于地下埋管管壁上开灌浆孔的非高强钢,建议灌浆后孔口进行封堵,补强板厚度宜与钢管壁厚相同,并适当增加坡口深度。当钢管壁厚较大时,堵头坡口深度宜不小于钢管壁厚的1/4~1/3。
