Decrepitation Thermometry and Compositions of Fluid Inclusions of the Damoqujia Gold Deposit,Jiaodong Gold Province,China:Implications for Metallogeny and Exploration

The recently discovered Damoqujia （大磨曲家） gold deposit is a large shear zone-hosted gold deposit of disseminated sulphides located in the north of the Zhaoping （招平） fault zone, Jiaodong （胶东） gold province, China. In order to distinguish the temperature range of cluster inclusions from different mineralization stages and measure their compositions, 16 fluid inclusions and 5 isotopic geochemistry samples were collected for this study. Corresponding to different mineralization stages, the multirange peaks of quartz decrepitation temperature （250-270, 310-360 and 380-430℃） indicate that the activity of ore-forming fluids is characterized by multistage. The ore-forming fluids were predominantly of high-temperature fluid system （HTFS） by CO2-rich, and SO4^2--K^＋ type magmatic fluid during the early stage of mineralization and were subsequently affected by low-temperature fluid system （LTFS） of CH4-rich, and Cl^--Na^＋/Ca^2＋ type meteoric fluid during the late stage of mineralization. Gold is transferred by Au-HS^- complex in the HTFS, and Au-Cl^- complex can be more important in the LTFS. The transition of fluids from deeper to shallow environments results in mixing between the HTFS and LTFS, which might be one of the most key reasons for gold precipitation and large-scale mineralization. The ore-forming fluids are characterized by high-temperature, strong-activity, and superimposed mineralization, so that there is a great probability of forming large and rich ore deposit in the Damoqujia gold deposit. The main bodies are preserved and extend toward deeper parts, thereby suggesting a great potential in future.

Theory and Practice of Oxide Inclusion Composition and Morphology Control in Spring Steel Production

In order to control the composition,morphology and size distribution of oxide inclusions in spring steel,the relationship between the content or activity of aluminum and calcium in molten steel and compositions of oxide inclusion precipitated at different temperatures was determined based on thermodynamic equilibrium for spring steel 60Si2 MnA,and has been verified by practice.The size distribution of non-metallic inclusions electrolytically extracted from specimens of hot rolled spring steel was determined by image analyzer.The results show that there are a great deal of large inclusions in spring steel produced by the conventional process,and the quantity and the size of large inclusions in spring steel produced by new process are largely reduced.As a result,the fatigue properties of the spring steel produced by new process are highly improved,and the ratio ofσ-1/σbis raised from 0.451 to 0.468.

The Statistical Power of Inclusive Composite Interval Mapping in Detecting Digenic Epistasis Showing Common F_2 Segregation Ratios

Epistasis is a commonly observed genetic phenomenon and an important source of variation of complex traits, which could maintain additive variance and therefore assure the long-term genetic gain in breeding. Inclusive composite interval mapping （ICIM） is able to identify epistatic quantitative trait loci （QTLs） no matter whether the two interacting QTLs have any additive effects. In this article, we conducted a simulation study to evaluate detection power and false discovery rate （FDR） of ICIM epistatic mapping, by considering F2 and doubled haploid （DH） populations, different F2 segregation ratios and population sizes. Results indicated that estimations of QTL locations and effects were unbiased, and the detection power of epistatic mapping was largely affected by population size, heritability of epistasis, and the amount and distribution of genetic effects. When the same likelihood of odd （LOD） threshold was used, detection power of QTL was higher in F2 population than power in DH population; meanwhile FDR in F2 was also higher than that in DH. The increase of marker density from 10 cM to 5 cM led to similar detection power but higher FDR. In simulated populations, ICIM achieved better mapping results than multiple interval mapping （MIM） in estimation of QTL positions and effect. At the end, we gave epistatic mapping results of ICIM in one actual population in rice （Oryza sativa L.）.

Electric memory effects in styrene-butadiene rubber, containing electric inclusions of highly aromatic oil

It was determined that samples of styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR),containing highly aromatic oil,exhibit memory effects giving rise to dynamic elastic modulus,damping and internal stresses degree which can be tailored depending on the applied electric field strength.The capability and stability of the interaction process between aligned neighbor dipoles for exhibiting a memory effect,once the aligning electric field was removed are studied.It is determined that depending on the spatial arrangement and the amount of electric charge of the dipoles,this interaction is able to promote a memory effect which keeps the alignment between them.This electrostatic interaction plays the role of a counteracting effect for keeping the alignment,which was called electroelasticity.The results from the developed model were applied successfully to SBR composite samples for explaining the memory effects recorded from dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA)measurements under electric field.In addition,the model of the electric inclusion based on the inclusion theory for continuous media,was applied to determine the degree of internal stresses in the dielectric composite material due to the external applied electric field.In addition,from the coupling between the model developed here and simple issues related to the mechanical properties of composite materials,a procedure for determining the maximum possible gap between the electric dipoles in composite dielectric materials is also shown.

An Inertial Semi-forward-reflected-backward Splitting and Its Application

Inertial methods play a vital role in accelerating the convergence speed of optimization algorithms.This work is concerned with an inertial semi-forward-reflected-backward splitting algorithm of approaching the solution of sum of a maximally monotone operator,a cocoercive operator and a monotone-Lipschitz continuous operator.The theoretical convergence properties of the proposed iterative algorithm are also presented under mild conditions.More importantly,we use an adaptive stepsize rule in our algorithm to avoid calculating Lipschitz constant,which is generally unknown or difficult to estimate in practical applications.In addition,a large class of composite monotone inclusion problem involving mixtures of linearly composed and parallel-sum type monotone operators is solved by combining the primal-dual approach and our proposed algorithm.As a direct application,the obtained inertial algorithm is exploited to composite convex optimization problem and some numerical experiments on image deblurring problem are also investigated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
