Effect of preheating on the mechanical properties of tough pitch copper made from copper scraps

When hot rolled tough pitch copper is made from copper scraps, lead is intentionally or unintentionally added to the melt. The major role of this lead seems to be the removal of metallic tin by the formation of PbO–SnO₂. A continuously cast and hot rolled copper rod was preheated at temperatures between 673–1173 K for 1 h prior to cold drawing. The maximum diameter of the PbO–SnO₂, of 1–2 μm, was obtained by preheating at 873 K. This preheating temperature also produced the maximum decrease in the recrystallization temperature and the maximum electrical conductivity of the 89.4% cold drawn wire within the investigated experimental range. This can be attributed to a decrease in the dissolved impurity concentration due to the growth of PbO–SnO₂ particles at that temperature. The decrease in recrystallization temperature enhanced the room temperature multiple upset weldability. When preheated at 1173 K, Zn₂SnO₄ particles were formed, but the recrystallization temperature increased and the electrical conductivity decreased due to the dissolution of PbO–SnO₂. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Occurrence of Exophiala werneckii on salted freshwater fish Osteoglossum bicirrhosum

Fungal contamination occurred on the salted Amazonian fish Osteoglossum bicirrhosum which were air dried in the shade. The human pathogenic fungus Exophiala werneckii was recovered as the sole contaminant from all salted fish. It was implicated for the first time as a halophilic saprophyte causing food spoilage.     

基于遗传算法及仿真技术的服装生产流水线平衡

针对大部分服装企业存在生产流水线编制效率较低以及生产周期长的普遍现象,提出一种服装工序编排方案自动生成和单件流生产线仿真运行的方法。首先分析服装生产工序编排方法和影响因素,采用拓扑方法和遗传算法相结合,在MatLab(R2016b)软件中建立自动优化模型,实现工序的自动编排;然后考虑服装生产数量和生产线设备情况,采用仿真技术,在Plant Simulation仿真软件中,根据实际生产对工序编排方案进行流水线仿真运行,得出直观可视的仿真结果,实现流水线平衡再优化。生产实例验证表明,流水线编制效率为90.8%,比原有效率提高12.8%,节省流水线编排方案在投产前的平衡调试时间,生产周期缩短。     

上海房产展的空间游戏

空间的形式是人定义的。正因为是人定义的，所以形式就有可能因为创造者或使用者的想法不同而改变。可是事实通常并非如此，我们今天所看见的所有空间形式差不多都被制式化了。所以，所谓的有理想的空间创造者穷其一生都在努力想要改变既有的形式事实，但是，事实却很困难。因此，大多数设计师过了四十不惑的年纪，碍于残酷现实的考量，不是转行或变成管理者，就是任它去了，业主想要什么就给什么了。我认识的设计师实在是没几个人像我这过了半百的老设计师，还这么自以为是地坚守自己设计的信仰侦操。我自以为自己是少数的特例，从创造来说，我应该才起步吧。     

An intelligent online fault diagnostic scheme for nonlinear systems

An online fault diagnostic scheme for nonlinear systems based on neurofuzzy networks is proposed in this paper. The scheme involves two stages. In the first stage, the nonlinear system is approximated by a neurofuzzy network, which is trained offline from data obtained during the normal operation of the system. In the second stage, residual is generated online from this network and is modelled by another neurofuzzy network trained online. Fuzzy rules are extracted from this network, and are compared with those in the fault database obtained under different faulty operations, from which faults are diagnosed. The performance of the proposed intelligent fault scheme is illustrated using a two-tank water level control system under different faulty conditions .     

Distillation-extraction of styrene migrating from polystyrene containers to foods by gas chromatography

A simple, accurate and sensitive gas-liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of styrene migrating from polystyrene containers into foodstuffs. an apparatus for the extraction of styrene was designed for the purpose, based on the BP apparatus for the determination of volatile oils. Styrene was extracted from foods by distillation with concurrent extraction from the distillate by n -hexane. Extraction was complete in 35 min. Hexane extracts were analysed by GC-FID using a glass column with durene as internal standard. Styrene levels in containers were from 1.7 to 192 μg g⁻¹ and in foods from 0.013 to 0.13 μg g⁻¹.

Treatment of Dyeing Wastewater by Using Positive Pulsed Corona Discharge to Water Surface

This study investigated the treatment of textile-dyeing wastewater by using an electrical discharge technique （positive pulsed corona discharge）. The high-voltage electrode was placed above the surface Of the wastewater while the ground electrode was submerged in the wastewater. The electrical discharge starting at the tip of the high voltage electrode propagated toward the surface of the wastewater, producing various oxidative radicals and ozone. Oxygen was used as the working gas instead of air to prevent nitrogen oxides from forming. The simulated wastewater was made up with amaranth, which is a kind of azo dye. The results obtained showed that the chromaticity of the wastewater was almost completely removed within an hour. The ultraviolet/visible spectra of the wastewater treated by the electrical discharge revealed that the total hydrocarbon level also decreased significantly.     

Moisture Sorption Characteristics of Ground Sunflower Nutmeat and its Products

Moisture sorption characteristics of sunflower nutmeat products (ground nutmeat, meal, protein concentrate and protein isolate) were investigated at temperatures 10°C, 20°C and 30°C, and the results were analyzed according to various sorption isotherm models. The best-fit models were the G.A.B. (Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer) model for the ground nutmeat and the cubic polynomial model for the meal, the protein concentrate and the protein isolate. The Chen-Clayton model was the best-fit model for describing temperature effect in all the materials studied. The G.A.B. monolayer values were higher than the B.E.T. monolayer values for the materials studied.
