A Preliminary Study on Dynamics and Models of N,P,K Absorption for High-Yield Cotton

The field experiments were carried out to investigate the dynamics and models of N, P and K absorption for the cotton plants with a lint of 3 000 kg ha-1 in Xinjiang. The main results were as follows: The contents of N, P2O5, K2O in cotton leaves, stems, squares and bolls decreased obviously with the time over the whole growth duration and the falling extent was greater in high-yield cotton than in CK. Contents of N in leaves, squares and bolls, in particular in the leaves of fruit-bearing shoot was higher in high-yield cotton than in CK. Contents of P2O5 in squares and bolls and that of K2O in stems were higher in high-yield cotton than in CK during the whole growing period. The accumulations of N, P2O5 and K2O in the cotton plants could be described with a logistic curve equation. There was the fastest nutrient uptake at about 90 d for N, 92 d for P2O5 and 85 d for K2O after emergence, respectively. Total nutrient accumulation of N, P2O5 and K2O was 385.8, 244. 7 and 340.3 kg ha-1, respectively. Approximately 12. 5 kg N, 8. 0 kg P2O5 and 11.1 kg K2O were needed for producing 100 kg lint with the leaves and stems under the super high yield condition of 3 000 kg ha-1 in Xinjiang.

Effects of a flexible net barrier on the dynamic behaviours and interception of debris flows in mountainous areas

Flexible net barriers are a new type of effective mitigation measure against debris flows in valleys and can affect the kinematic energy and mass of debris flows. Here, ten flume tests were performed to study the dynamic behaviours of debris flows with differences in volumes, concentrations(solid volume fraction), and travel distances after interception by a uniform flexible net barrier. A high-speed camera was used to monitor the whole test process, and their dynamic behaviours were recorded. A preliminary computational framework on energy conversion is proposed according to the deposition mechanisms and outflow of debris flow under the effects of the flexible net barrier. The experimental results show that the dynamic interaction process between a debris flow and the flexible net barrier can be divided into two stages:(a) the two-phase impact of the leading edge of the debris flow with the net and(b) collision and friction between the body of the debris flow and intercepted debris material. The approach velocity of a debris flow decreases sharply(a maximum of 63%) after the interception by the net barrier, and the mass ratio of the debris material being intercepted and the kinetic energy ratio of the debris material being absorbed by the net barrier are close due to the limited interception efficiency of the flexible net barrier, which is believed to be related to the flexibility. The energy ratio of outflow is relative small despite the large permeability of the flexible net barrier.

A New Synthetical Model of High-Power Pulsed Laser Ablation

We develop a new synthetical model of high-power pulsed laser ablation,which considers the dynamicabsorptance,vaporization,and plasma shielding.And the corresponding heat conduction equations with the initial andboundary conditions are given.The numerical solutions are obtained under the reasonable technical parameter condi-tions by taking YBa_2Cu_3O_7 target for example.The space-dependence and time-dependence of temperature in targetat a certain laser fluence are presented,then,the transmitted intensity through plasma plume,space-dependence oftemperature and ablation rate for different laser fluences are significantly analyzed.As a result,the satisfactorily goodagreement between our numerical results and experimental results indicates that the influences of the dynamic absorp-tance,vaporization,and plasma shielding cannot be neglected.Taking all the three mechanisms above simultaneouslyinto account for the first time,we cause the present model to be more practical.

An adjustable anti-resonance frequency controller for a dual-stage actuation semi-active vibration isolation system

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry,the dynamic model of a controlled object is usually obtained from a frequency sweeping method before motion control.However,the existing isolators cannot properly isolate the disturbance of the inertial force on the platform base during frequency sweeping(the frequency is between 0 Hz and the natural frequency).In this paper,an adjustable anti-resonance frequency controller for a dual-stage actuation semi-active vibration isolation system(DSASAVIS)is proposed.This system has a significant anti-resonance characteristic;that is,the vibration amplitude can drop to nearly zero at a particular frequency,which is called the anti-resonance frequency.The proposed controller is designed to add an adjustable anti-resonance frequency to fully use this unique anti-resonance characteristic.Experimental results show that the closed-loop transmissibility is less than−15 dB from 0 Hz to the initial anti-resonance frequency.Furthermore,it is less than−30 dB around an added anti-resonance frequency which can be adjusted from 0 Hz to the initial anti-resonance frequency by changing the parameters of the proposed controller.With the proposed controller,the disturbance amplitude of the payload decays from 4 to 0.5 mm/s with a reduction of 87.5%for the impulse disturbance applied to the platform base.Simultaneously,the system can adjust the anti-resonance frequency point in real time by tracking the frequency sweeping disturbances,and a good vibration isolation performance is achieved.This indicates that the DSA-SAVIS and the proposed controller can be applied in the guarantee of an ultra-low vibration environment,especially at frequency sweeping in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
