采用躺滴法检测了掺加1.5%、3%的Sasobit和0.5%、1%的Evotherm 3G制备得到的温拌SBS改性沥青与蒸馏水、甘油和甲酰胺3种液体的接触角;基于表面自由能理论,对比了温拌SBS改性沥青在无水条件下的表面自由能和粘聚功以及在有水条件下的剥落功;同时,考察了温拌SBS改性沥青和石灰岩质集料的粘附功和配伍率。结果表明:采用躺滴法可以准确检测温拌SBS改性沥青与常用检测液体的接触角;以粘聚功、粘附功、剥落功、配伍率作为评价指标可用于表征温拌SBS改性沥青-集料体系的粘附性;温拌SBS改性沥青的表面自由能及其分量、粘聚功、配伍率随着Sasobit掺量的增大而减小,但随着Evotherm温拌剂掺量的增加而增大;水的参与降低了温拌剂对SBS改性沥青-集料体系粘附性影响的差异;Evotherm温拌剂有助于改善温拌SBS改性沥青的水敏感性,Sasobit温拌剂增加了温拌SBS改性沥青的水敏感性。     

Experimental investigation on preparation and performance of clear asphalt

Abstract

Coloured micro-surfacing technology has become increasingly popular in pavement construction because of its economic benefit and ability to accept traffic quickly. The main goal of this study was to produce a clear asphalt with superior performance that can be easily emulsified. Two types of resin that are easy to emulsify and one kind of extract oil were used to synthesise the clear asphalt. The clear asphalt was mixed with a styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modifier at different proportions using a mechanical agitator. The physical properties of the samples were determined via conventional bitumen tests and the optimum formula was obtained by changing the mixture ratio through orthogonal experimentation. The thin-film oven test evaluated the ageing property of the clear asphalt. The surface energy components corresponding to the advancing process and the receding process were determined using the Wilhelmy plate method. The surface free energy (SFE) of the aggregates was measured with a gravimetric sorption analyser. The adhesive bond energies between asphalt samples and aggregates were calculated using their SFE components to evaluate their properties of fracture and healing. Results show that depending on the amount and type of resin added, different synthetic clear asphalts can be obtained. Further, the clear asphalt mixed with SBS is capable of synthesising better properties at high or low temperature. The clear asphalt with aggregates had fracture and healing properties similar to common base asphalt.     

Fabricating Ir/C Nanofiber Networks as Free‐Standing Air Cathodes for Rechargeable Li‐CO2 Batteries

Li‐CO₂ batteries are promising energy storage systems by utilizing CO₂ at the same time, though there are still some critical barriers before its practical applications such as high charging overpotential and poor cycling stability. In this work, iridium/carbon nanofibers (Ir/CNFs) are prepared via electrospinning and subsequent heat treatment, and are used as cathode catalysts for rechargeable Li‐CO₂ batteries. Benefitting from the unique porous network structure and the high activity of ultrasmall Ir nanoparticles, Ir/CNFs exhibit excellent CO₂ reduction and evolution activities. The Li‐CO₂ batteries present extremely large discharge capacity, high coulombic efficiency, and long cycling life. Moreover, free‐standing Ir/CNF films are used directly as air cathodes to assemble Li‐CO₂ batteries, which show high energy density and ultralong operation time, demonstrating great potential for practical applications.     

Contact Stability Analysis of a One Degree-of-Freedom Robot

The aim of this note is to examine the conditions of stability of a simple robotic task: we consider a one degree-of-freedom (dof) robot that collides with a spring-like environment with stiffness k, the goal being to stabilize the system in contact with the environment. We study conditions on the feedback gains that guarantee quadratic Lyapunov stability of the task with a well-conditioned solution to the Lyapunov equation. It is shown that when the environment's stiffness k grows unbounded, those conditions yield unbounded values of the gains. Motivated by the stability analysis of the impact Poincaré map in the perfectly rigid case ( ), we propose an analysis that is independent of k. It enables us to conclude on global asymptotic convergence of the system's state towards the equilibrium point. This work can also be seen as the study of stability of a contact (force control) phase, taking into account the unilateral feature of the constraint.     

Excess volumes and excess viscosities of binary mixtures of 1-bromo-2-methylpropane + an isomer of butanol at 298.15 and 313.15 K

Excess volumesV ^E, excess viscosities ^E, and excess free energies of activation of flow G^*E at 298.15 and 313.15 K are reported for binary mixtures of 1-bronw-2-methypropane and each of the alcoholic isomers of I-butanol. The results were obtained from density and viscosity measurements and show positive values forV ⁴ and negative for both ^E andG ^*E for all mixtures over the entire composition range.

On-column solvent exchange for purified preparative fractions

On-column solvent exchange, using many of the principles of solid-phase extraction, has been implemented to significantly reduce evaporation cycle time following reverse-phase preparative HPLC. Additional benefits, such as a reduced potential for salt formation, thermal decomposition, and residual solvent, are also described. Fractions obtained from preparative separations, typically in a large volume of acetonitrile:water, are injected into the preparative HPLC and then eluted in acetonitrile, creating a new fraction in a volatile organic solvent. Minimal modification to the instrument was required, and unattended operation is possible. Acetonitrile evaporation is achieved within 3 h, compared with 17 h for aqueous-based fractions; lower temperatures can be used during the evaporation step; mobile-phase additives, likely to form salts with the target compound if concentrated in the fraction, are removed before evaporation; sample recovery and purity are unaffected.

Maximum likelihood analysis of algorithms and data structures

We present a new approach for an average-case analysis of algorithms and data structures that supports a non-uniform distribution of the inputs and is based on the maximum likelihood training of stochastic grammars. The approach is exemplified by an analysis of the expected size of binary tries as well as by three sorting algorithms and it is compared to the known results that were obtained by traditional techniques. Investigating traditional settings like the random permutation model, we rediscover well-known results formerly derived by pure analytic methods; changing to biased data yields original results. All but one step of our analysis can be automated on top of a computer-algebra system. Thus our new approach can reduce the effort required for an average-case analysis, allowing for the consideration of realistic input distributions with unknown distribution functions at the same time. As a by-product, our approach yields an easy way to generate random combinatorial objects according to various probability distributions.
