UNIQUENESS OF THE MILD SOLUTION OF SEMILINEAR STOCHASTIC EVOLUTION EQUATION IN HILBERT SPACE

In this paper, we will consider following initial value problem of semilinear stochastic evolution equation in Hilbert Space: [GRAPHICS] where W(t) is a wiener process in H, H and Y are two real separable Hilbert Spaces, A is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup s(t) on Y, f(t, y): [0, T] x Y --> Y, and G(t, y): [0, T] X Y --> L(H, Y), y0: OMEGA --> Y is a ramdom variable of square integrable. We apply theory of the semigroup and obtain two conclusions of uniqueness of the mild solution of (1) which include the corresponding results in [4].

Evolution of Optical Transport Networks and Their Solution in 3G Networks

As new generation mobile networks, 3G networks focus on data services and integrate voice, data and multimedia services. However, traditional Optical Transport Networks (OTNs) cannot meet the requirements of 3G networks anymore, because of their complicated configuration, low bandwidth efficiency, high cost, and bad network and service scalability. The emerging of Multi-Service Transport Platform (MSTP), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), and Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) technologies for optical fiber communications makes up for these weaknesses. The leading solution to 3G access transport networks is the MSTP technology based on Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), while that to 3G core transport network is ASON+WDM.

Optimization of air quantity regulation in mine ventilation networks using the improved differential evolution algorithm and critical path method

In mine ventilation networks, the reasonable airflow distribution is very important for the production safety and economy. Three basic problems of the natural, full-controlled and semi-controlled splitting were reviewed in the paper. Aiming at the high difficulty semi-controlled splitting problem, the general nonlinear multi-objectives optimization mathematical model with constraints was established based on the theory of mine ventilation networks. A new algorithm, which combined the improved differential evaluation and the critical path method （CPM） based on the multivariable separate solution strategy, was put forward to search for the global optimal solution more efficiently. In each step of evolution, the feasible solutions of air quantity distribution are firstly produced by the improved differential evolu- tion algorithm, and then the optimal solutions of regulator pressure drop are obtained by the CPM. Through finite steps iterations, the optimal solution can be given. In this new algorithm, the population of feasible solutions were sorted and grouped for enhancing the global search ability and the individuals in general group were randomly initialized for keeping diversity. Meanwhile, the individual neighbor- hood in the fine group which may be closely to the optimal solutions were searched locally and slightly for achieving a balance between global searching and local searching, thus improving the convergence rate. The computer program was developed based on this method. Finally, the two ventilation networks with single-fan and multi-fans were solved. The results show that this algorithm has advantages of high effectiveness, fast convergence, good robustness and flexibility. This computer program could be used to solve lar^e-scale ~eneralized ventilation networks o^timization problem in the future.

Quantitative characterization of lamellarαprecipitation behavior of IMI834 Ti-alloy in isothermal and non-isothermal heat treatments

To reveal the affecting mechanism of cooling rate on lamellarαprecipitation,the precipitation behaviors of lamellarαphase in IMI834 titanium alloy during isothermal and non-isothermal heat treatments were quantitatively characterized using experimental analysis.Critical precipitation temperatures at various cooling rates were obtained using thermal dilatation testing.Using metallographic microscopy,electron microprobe analysis,and data fitting methods,the quantitative evolution models of average width,volume fraction,and solute concentration in theαandβphases were built for different temperatures or cooling rates.A comparison between the two precipitation behaviors showed that the average width and volume fraction of lamellarαphase under non-isothermal conditions were smaller than those under isothermal conditions.With increasing cooling rate,the average width and volume fraction were decreased significantly,and the critical precipitation temperatures were reduced.This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the decreased diffusion velocity of solutes Al,Mo,and Nb with increasing cooling rate.

Unique Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x and Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x/CoOx/NiOx Z-scheme photocatalysts for efficient visible-light-induced H2 evolution

Artificial Z-scheme photocatalytic systems have received considerable attention in recent years because they can achieve wide light-absorption, high charge-separation efficiency, and strong redox ability simultaneously. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to exploit low-cost and stable Zscheme photocatalysts with highly-efficient H2 evolution from solar water-splitting so far. Herein, we report a novel all-solidstate Z-scheme photocatalyst Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x consisting of Cd1-xZnxS nanorods coated with oxygen-deficient WO3-x amorphous layers. The Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x exhibits an outstanding H2 evolution reaction(HER) activity as compared with Pt-loaded Cd1-xZnxS and most WO3- and Cd S-based photocatalysts, due to the generation of stronger reducing electrons through the appropriate Zn-doping in Cd1-xZnxS and the enhanced charge transfer by introducing oxygen vacancies(W^5+/OVs) into the ultrathin WO3-x amorphous coatings. The optimal HER rate of Cd1-xZnxS@WO3- xis determined to be 21.68 mmol h^-1 g^-1, which is further raised up to 28.25 mmol h^-1 g^-1(about 12 times more than that of Pt/Cd1-xZnxS) when Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x is hybridized by Co Ox and Ni Oxdual cocatalysts(Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x/CoOx/NiOx)through in-situ photo-deposition. Moreover, the corresponding apparent quantum yield(AQY) at 420 nm is significantly increased from 34.6% for Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x to 60.8% for Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x/CoOx/NiOx. In addition, both Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x and Cd1-xZnxS@WO3-x/CoOx/NiOx demonstrate good stability towards HER. The results displayed in this work will inspire the rational design and synthesis of high-performance nanostructures for photocatalytic applications.

Thermodynamic Characteristic and Phase Evolution in Immiscible Cr–Mo Binary Alloys

This paper systematically reports the thermodynamic characteristic and phase evolution of immiscible Cr–Mo binary alloy during mechanical alloying（MA） process. The Cr–35Mo（in at%） powder mixture was milled at 243 and258 K, respectively, for different time. For comparative study, Cr–15Mo and Cr–62Mo powder mixtures were milled at 243 K for 18 h. Solid solution Cr（Mo） with body-centered cubic（bcc） crystal structure and amorphous Cr（Mo） alloy was obtained during MA process caused by high-energy ball milling. Based on the Miedema＇s model, the free-energy change for forming either a solid solution or an amorphous in Cr–Mo alloy system is positive but small at a temperature range between 200 and 300 K. The thermodynamical barrier for forming alloy in Cr–Mo system can be overcome when MA occurs at 243 K, and the supersaturated solid solution crystal nuclei with bcc structure form continually, and three supersaturated solid solutions of Cr–62Mo, Cr–35Mo and Cr–15Mo formed. Milling the Cr–35Mo powder mixture at 258 K, the solid solution Cr（Mo） forms firstly, and then the solid solution Cr（Mo） transforms into the amorphous Cr（Mo）alloy with a few of nanocrystallines when milling is prolonged. At higher milling temperature, it is favorable for the formation of the amorphous phase, as indicated by the thermodynamical calculation for immiscible Cr–Mo alloy system.
