Effect of Different Sowing Dates in South Henan 's Rice-growing Areas on the Growth and Yield of Ratoon Rice

In order to determine the optimal sowing date of ratoon rice in South Henan's rice-growing areas,this paper performs a comparative analysis of rice growth process,seedling quality and yield of first season rice and ratoon rice under different sowing date treatments. The results show that under climatic conditions( 2014),by using dry seedling cultivation in a small plastic shed,the growth of seedling sown on February21 was affected,while the sowing treatments from March 1 to April 11 can breed normal seedlings,and in this period,the maturity period of first season rice was delayed with prolonged sowing date,and ratoon rice yield declined with prolonged sowing date( total production of rice sown on 11 March reaching a peak). Thus,it is considered that the optimal sowing date of ratoon rice in South Henan's rice-growing areas is mid-March.

Process Evaluation, Tensile Properties and Fatigue Resistance of Chopped and Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites by 3D Printing

The aim of this article was to comprehensively evaluate the manufacturing process,tensile properties and fatigue resistance of the chopped and continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites(CFRTPCs)by 3D printing.The main results included:the common defects of the printed CFRTPCs contained redundant and accumulation defects,scratch and warping defects;the continuous fiber contributed to the dimensional stability and accuracy of width and thickness;associations between mass percentage of fiber reinforcement and the averages of elastic mod-ulus,strain at break and ultimate tensile strength were approximately linear based on tensile test results;the fati-gue resistance improved with the increasing fiber reinforcement based on fatigue test results.As for specimens with four fiber rings,there was a good linear relationship between the stress level and logarithm value of cycles during the whole life while those of pure matrix and specimens with one and two fiber rings were piecewise linear,taking about 10,000 cycles as boundary.The micro morphology showed that the fatigue failure behaved as matrix fracture,large and small fiber bundles and single fibers extracted from matrix.Under the tension-tension fatigue load,the deformations where easily concentrating stress behaved as sunken surfaces along thickness and width directions,and the deformation along width direction was greater than that along thickness direction.

Developing a Physiological Signal-Based, Mean Threshold and Decision-Level Fusion Algorithm (PMD) for Emotion Recognition

With the development of computers,artificial intelligence,and cognitive science,engagement in deep communication between humans and computers has become increasingly important.Therefore,affective computing is a current hot research topic.Thus,this study constructs a Physiological signal-based,Mean-threshold,and Decision-level fusion algorithm(PMD)to identify human emotional states.First,we select key features from electroencephalogram and peripheral physiological signals,and use the mean-value method to obtain the classification threshold of each participant and distinguish individual differences.Then,we employ Gaussian Naive Bayes(GNB),Linear Regression(LR),Support Vector Machine(SVM),and other classification methods to perform emotion recognition.Finally,we improve the classification accuracy by developing an ensemble model.The experimental results reveal that physiological signals are more suitable for emotion recognition than classical facial and speech signals.Our proposed mean-threshold method can solve the problem of individual differences to a certain extent,and the ensemble learning model we developed significantly outperforms other classification models,such as GNB and LR.

Asymmetric MXene/monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures for functional applications

A versatile two-dimensional(2D)molecular bilayer heterostructure of asymmetric MXene/monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide(aMXene/mTMDC)with a high interfacial built-in electric field is here simulated,where aMXene is an aMXene with the top or bottom electronegative atom plane of MXene removed.The asymmetric structural design of aMXene leads to a high dipole moment perpendicular to the 2D molecular plane.Although the unpassivated metal atoms in the aMXene are unstable and electropositive,coupling them to the electronegative chalcogenide atoms in an aMXene/mTMDC bilayer resolves this deficiency.The dipole field tunable by the specific composition of aMXene/mTMDC is leveraged to engineer unusual band structures,band alignments,and charge redistribution/injection in the bilayer.The simulated design of several aMXene/mTMDC bilayers for possible use in spintronics,microelectronics/optoelectronics,and catalysis/photocatalysis are shown.
