Interactions between hotspots and the Southwest Indian Ridge during the last 90 Ma:Implications on the formation of oceanic plateaus and intra-plate seamounts

This study investigates the relationship between the hotspot-ridge interaction and the formation of oceanic plateaus and seamounts in the Southwest Indian Ocean.We first calculated the relative distance between the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) and relevant hotspots on the basis of models of plate reconstruction,and then calculated the corresponding excess magmatic anomalies of the hotspots on the basis of residual bathymetry and Airy isostasy.The results reveal that the activities of the Marion hotspot can...     

The Effects of Microstructure on the Tensile and Impact Properties of A 1.0% V, 0.2% C Steel

Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of various heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a 1% V, 0.2 % C steel. This precipitation hardening steel was submitted to selective heat treatments, in order to produce a range of austenitic and ferritic grain sizes and structures.

The limitations of high austenitizing temperatures are examined, and the heat treatment which led to good mechanical properties are discussed in relation to microstructural features.

Study on the fluid/structure interaction at different inlet pressures in molded packaging

This paper presents the computational study of fluid/structure interaction (FSI) analysis in the molding process using the Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI) method with finite volume coding (FLUENT 6.3) and finite element coding (ABAQUS 6.9). The FSI analysis is implemented on the molded package during the encapsulation process with different inlet pressures. Real-time flow visualization, deformation and stress of the silicon die during the encapsulation process are presented in this paper. A fluctuation phenomenon of the silicon die is found in the encapsulation process when the inlet pressure increases. The maximum deformation during the process is determined at different locations on the silicon die, calculated during the final stage of the filling process. The deformation and stress of the die is exponentially increased with increasing inlet pressure. The maximum stress on the solder bump is concentrated near to the inlet gate. Thus, the present FSI analysis approach is expected to be a guideline or reference and provides better understanding of the encapsulation process for package design in the microelectronic industry.     

The dimensional nature of same–different discrimination behavior in pigeons.

We studied the dimensional nature of same–different discrimination behavior in pigeons. Birds first learned to discriminate between simultaneously presented displays of 16 identical items (Same arrays) and 16 nonidentical items (Different arrays), conditional on the color of the background. After discrimination mastery, we tested the birds with Mixture arrays comprising both identical and nonidentical items. Accuracy increased and reaction time decreased as the disparity in entropy (a measure of variability) between the arrays increased. As well, within each entropy disparity level, lower entropy values were more discriminable than higher entropy values. These results accord with a logarithmic relation between entropy and discriminative behavior and, thus, with the idea that the discrimination of Same from Different arrays follows Weber's Law.

Heterotactic Enthalpic Interactions of L-Arginine with 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanoi in Aqueous Solutions at 298.15,303.15 and 310.15 K

The enthalpies of mixing of L-arginine with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and their respective enthalpies of dilution in aqueous solutions at 298.15,303.15 and 310.15 K were determined as a function of the mole fraction by flow microcalorimetric measurement.These experimental results were analyzed to obtain heterotactic enthalpic interaction coefficients(hxy,hxxy,hxyy)according to the McMillan-Mayer theory.The hxy coefficients between L-arginine molecule studied and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol molecule in aqueous solutions at 298.15,303.15 and 310.15 K were found to be all negative.The results were discussed in terms of solute-solute interaction and solute-solvent interaction.

Optimality and convergence of adaptive optimal control by reinforcement synthesis

Adaptive Optimal Control (AOC) by reinforcement synthesis is proposed to facilitate the application of optimal control theory in feedback controls. Reinforcement synthesis uses the critic–actor architecture of reinforcement learning to carry out sequential optimization. Optimality conditions for AOC are formulated using the discrete minimum principle. A proof of the convergence conditions for the reinforcement synthesis algorithm is presented. As the final time extends to infinity, the reinforcement synthesis algorithm is equivalent to the Dual Heuristic dynamic Programming (DHP) algorithm, a version of approximate dynamic programming. Thus, formulating DHP with the AOC approach has rigorous proofs of optimality and convergence. The efficacy of AOC by reinforcement synthesis is demonstrated by solving a linear quadratic regulator problem.

A nontrivial factor in determining current distribution in an ac HTS cable-proximity effect

A superconductor has zero resistance at the superconducting state. This unique property creates many exceptional phenomena, of which some are known and the others are not. Our experiments with multilayer high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable samples revealed a new phenomenon that alternating current had a tendency to flow in the inner and outer layers of the cables. We attribute the cause of this phenomenon to the electromagnetic interaction in an infinite electrical conductivity medium and term it su...
