Backfill support＇s backfill and operation properties and evaluation

To ensure compacted backfilling, it is essential to ensure the reliability of the performance of a solid backfill support, key equipment for integrating backfilling and mining. To evaluate the backfilling performance of a backfill support, the concept of backfill and operation properties is proposed in this study. Moreover, it is elaborated in terms of five aspects, namely, structural property, supporting property, tamping property, mechanical response property, and geological adaptation property, which are specifically reflected by 14 indexes including the supporting intensity and vertical roof gap. Seven separate evaluation indexes are selected to build a backfill and operation properties based system for evaluating the design schemes of the backfill support via a multi-index comprehensive evaluation method; then, the evaluation method and process together with measures to control the backfill and operation properties are proposed. By using this system, 11 schemes for optimizing the ZC5200/14.5/3 backfill support at Zhaizhen Coal Mine are evaluated, and scheme #10 is found to show superior vertical roof gap and other backfill and operation properties, thus demonstrating the reasonability of the evaluation system. On this basis, the backfill support research framework of designing initial scheme, optimizing design scheme, selecting the best evaluation indexes, evaluating optimizing scheme, and evaluating operation properties is built; this should serve as an important reference for further studies on the roof controlling performance of a backfill support.

COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF FAULT-TOLERANT PROPERTIES OF REDUNDANT ROBOTS

When a redundant robot performs a fault-tolerant operation for locked joint failures, its fault tolerant properties should include dexterity and sudden change of joint velocity at the moment of locking failed joints and the dexterity during the post-failure. Firstly three fault-tolerant indexes, reduced condition number, sudden change of relative joint velocity and centrality are proposed, which can comprehensively evaluate the kinematical performance of a redundant robot during its entire fault-tolerant operations. Then, the influence of the initial postures of robot＇s end-effector on these fault-tolerant indexes is analyzed with a planar robot and a spatial robot. Simulation results show that for a given task the joint trajectory with the best comprehensive effect of fault tolerance can be determined by optimizing the initial posture of a robot.

Nutritional evaluation,fatty acid analysis and anticancer properties investigation of seeds from kan-zaw,a potential diet oil and medicinal plant

Payenapara lleloneura Kurz.(Kan-zaw),an endemic medicinal plant only found in Tanintharyi Region of Myanmar,is widely used in the treatment of various cancer and different ailments.In the present research,the seeds were phytochemical investigated for their nutritional potential for their use as functional foods or novel diet oil resources.Nutritional evaluation showed that the seeds are rich in fats and carbohydrates(soluble sugars and starch).Fatty acid analyses showed that the seeds accumulate very richα-eleostearic acid(α-ESA,18:3^(Δ9 cis,11-trans),13 trans),an important conjugated fatty acid,up to more than 70% of total fatty acids.The seed oil derived from the Kan-zaw tree contains approximately 3.25% β-eleostearic acid(18:3^(Δ9 trans,11 trans,13 trans)),an unusual conjugated fatty acid that imparts a potent anticancer application and industrially important drying qualities to Kan-zaw oil.Physicochemical properties of the Kan-zaw seeds were examined;petroleum ether(60–90℃)extract of seed oils were also investigated for the saponification value,iodine value and estimation of acid value.Further,the present study investigated cytotoxic potential of ethanol,methanol,acetone,chloroform Kan-zaw seed extracts and commercial Kan-zaw oil against human cervical cancer cell line(HeLa).The Kan-zaw extracts and oil have shown significant anticancer activity on HeLa cells.

Evaluation of properties for lubricant filter in diesel engines

The properties of lubricant filters in diesel engines directly affect operation of the lubricant system, and lubricant filters are apt to be impacted by many factors. Therefore, scientific and sensible methods evaluating the properties for lubricant filter diesel engines are necessary to monitor filter properties on line and dynamically. This paper applies ferrographic techniques and adopts sampling methods that oil specimens are synchronously obtained in front of and behind filter elements to monitor the filters of ISUZU DA-220 diesel engine in two FD50 forklifts. Results show that the combination of ferrographic techniques and above sampling methods is effective in analyzing the whole operating process of filters used in diesel engines. The service life and ruined type of filter can be estimated through the relationship between ferrographic readings in front and behind of filter and operation time. Furthermore, through a great deal of tests, a series of experimental curves of readings and time and characteristic parameters for filters used in different machines can be gained, which has guiding significance to the selection and maintenance of the filters. But because of the limitation of the ferrographic technique, the debris on the substrate prevents determination of sizes. It is difficult to judge accurately the size of debris that a filter can filter.

A Simple Evaluation System for Microbial Property in Soil and Manure

Analyses of microbial properties in soil and manure had always included the problem that there was no available standard method to evaluate microbial property. The one of the major problems was the vast diversity and the enormous population of soil microorganisms [1], the other was an existence of numerically dominant unculturable microorganisms which comprise 99% of soil habitat [2]. We evaluated whether our newly developed method, by which taxonomies and their number of each bacterial groups were estimated, could be used as evaluation method of microbial properties of soils and manures. In the forest soil, β-Proteobacteria, which included Burkholderia sp., Ralstonia sp., and Alcaligenes sp., was numerically dominant bacteria (3.64 × 106 MPN g-1 dry soil), followed by γ-Proteobacteria (1.32 × 106 MPN), δ-Proteobacteria (0.006 × 106 MPN), and the other gram negative bacteria (0.006 × 106 MPN). In the commercial manure, Actinobacteria, which included Streptoverticillium salmonis, Mycrococcus sp., Streptomyces bikiniensis, and Microbacterium ulmi, was numerically dominant bacterial group (30.8 × 106 MPN), followed by α-Proteobacteria (26.0 × 106 MPN), β-Proteobacteria (17.1 × 106 MPN), δ-Proteobacteria (11.2 × 106 MPN), the other Firmicutes (1.71 × 106 MPN), γ-Proteobacteria (0.5 × 106 MPN), and the other gram negative bacteria (0.05 × 106 MPN). In the upland field, the other Firmicutes, which included Paenibacillus sp., was numerically dominant bacteria (4.41 × 106 MPN), followed by Actinobacteria (2.14 × 106 MPN), Bacillus sp. (2.14 × 106 MPN), and γ-Proteobacteria (0.35 × 106 MPN). Although the precision of the affiliations became lower because of higher diversity of samples and the number of some Antinobacteria and Firmicutes might be underestimated by the used PCR condition, the method was found suitable as a candidate of a new evaluation system of soil and manure.

A procedural study of building up a performance evaluation indicator system of intellectual property protection

The intellectual property protection, whether judicial or administrative, is evaluated through a performance evaluation indicator system. To building up such a system, we must follow certain working procedures which usually consist of four steps： to determine the performance objectives, to design the structure of indicator system, to specify the indicators and to set up the weight of indicators. Each step plays a different role in performance evaluation indicator system and has its own impact on the realization of performance evaluation objectives respectively. So the scientifically building up a performance evaluation indicator system is the key to determine whether the intellectual property is protected well or not.

Preparation and property evaluation of electroless Ni-P coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy

Taking a bath with basic nickel carbonate as the source of nickel,sodium hypophosphite as the reducing agent and citric acid as the complexing agent,the Ni-P coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy were prepared. The influence of pH value of the bath on the content of phosphorus,microhardness and corrosion resistance of the deposits was examined. The XRD analysis results show that the Ni-P coatings plated under all conditions have a mixed microstructure of amorphous and nanocrystalline and undergo a phase transformation to crystalline nickel and nickel phosphide upon heat-treatment. The microhardness of the Ni-P coatings increases with the increase of pH value of the bath and has a maximum at pH=6. The potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5%(mass fraction) NaCl solution reveals that the Ni-P coatings exhibit a very good corrosion resistance to protecting AZ91D magnesium alloy.

Evaluation of soil nutrient status in poplar forest soil by soil nutrient systematic approach

A study was conducted to evaluate the soil nutrient status of poplar plantation by Soil Nutrient Systematic Approach (SNSA) in Jianghan Plain, Hubei Province, China. Soil physiochemical properties were analyzed in laboratory through collection soil samples of study site. Ten treatments of application different fertilizers were designed such as CK, optimum treatment (N, P, K, Zn), N(P, K, Zn), P(N, K, Zn), K(N, P, Zn), +Mg(N, P, K, Zn, Mg), Zn (N,P,K), +2P(N, 2P, K, Zn), +2K(N, P, 2K, Zn), and 2N+2P+2K(2N, 2P, 2K, Zn) for field experiment to test the effect on tree height, diameter (DBH) growth, and dry weight of poplar. The results showed that there was no significant difference in tree heights between treatments with different fertilizers, diameter growth of poplar trees in treatments of lack of N and Zn was significantly slower than that of trees in optimum treatment, and dry weight of poplar dropped significantly for treatment of CK as well as treatments without application N and Zn. It is concluded that N and Zn were main limiting factor for poplar growth. Results from laboratory analysis and field experiment were uniform per-fectly, which proved that SNSA was reliable in evaluating soil nutrient status of poplar plantation.

Fracability Evaluation of Shale of the Wufeng-Longmaxi Formation in the Changning Area, Sichuan Basin

The fracturing technology for shale gas reservoir is the key to the development of shale gas industrialization.It makes much sense to study the mechanical properties and deformation characteristics of shale,due to its close relationship with the fracability of shale gas reservoir.This paper took marine shale in the Changning area,southern Sichuan Basin of China as the research object.Based on field profile and hand specimen observation,we analyzed the development of natural fractures and collected samples from Wufeng Formation and Longmaxi Formation.Combining with the indoor experiment,we investigated the macroscopic and microscopic structural features and the remarkable heterogeneity of shale samples.Then we illustrated the mechanics and deformation characteristics of shale,through uniaxial compression test and direct shear test.The shale has two types of fracture modes,which depend on the angular relation between loading direction and the bedding plane.Besides,the Wufeng shale has a higher value of brittleness index than the Longmaxi shale,which was calculated using two methods,mechanical parameters and mineral composition.Given the above results,we proposed a fracability evaluation model for shale gas reservoir using the analytic hierarchy process.Four influence factors,brittleness index,fracture toughness,natural fractures and cohesive force,are considered.Finally,under the control of normalized value and weight coefficient of each influence factor,the calculations results indicate that the fracability index of the Wufeng Formation is higher than that of the Longmaxi Formation in Changning area,southern Sichuan Basin.

Petrophysical evaluation and its application to AVO based on conventional and CMR-MDT logs

Conventional loggings provide the essential data for AVO （Amplitude-Versus- Offset） analysis in rock physics, which can build a bridge linking petrophysics and seismic data. However, if some complex fluid systems, such as serious fluid invasion to formation, low resistivity response or complicated water salinity etc. exist in reservoirs, the conventional logs may fail to provide quality data, leading to calculated errors for elastic properties so worse that the AVO results cannot match the seismic data. To overcome such difficulties in Tertiary reservoirs of Bohai Gulf in China, we utilized both conventional logs and CMR- MDT tool （Combinable Magnetic Resonance and Modular Formation Dynamics Tester） to perform formation evaluation and reservoir descriptions. Our research proposes, it allows petrophysicists to acquire reservoir parameters （e.g. porosity, permeability, water saturation, bound fluids and pore pressure etc）, and then these results to combine with core analysis based on laboratory＇s measurements to carry out a further rock physics study and AVO analysis in seismic domain.

Development unit division and favorable area evaluation for joint mining coalbed methane

Based on the productivity equation of coalbed methane (CBM) well, considering the impact of coal reservoir reformability on gas well productivity, the main production layer optimization index in the “three-step method” of optimal combination of production layers is corrected, and then the CBM production layer potential index is introduced to evaluate favorable areas for commingled multi-coal seam production. Through analysis of the key parameters of coal reservoirs affecting the CBM productivity index, a development unit division method for areas with multi-coal seams is established, and a quantitative grading index system is proposed. On this basis, the evaluation process of CBM development favorable area is developed: the mature 3-D modeling technology is used to characterize the reservoir physical properties of multi-coal seams in full-scale;the production layer potential index of each grid is calculated, and the production layer potential index contour under single-layer or commingled multi-layer production are plotted;according to the distribution of the contour of production layer potential index, the quantitative index of CBM development unit is adopted to outline the grade I, II, III coal reservoir distribution areas, and thus to pick out the favorable development areas. The practical application in the Yuwang block of Laochang in Yunnan proved that the favorable area evaluation process proposed can effectively overcome the defects of selecting favorable development areas only relying on evaluation results of a major coal seam pay, and enhance the accuracy of the evaluation results, meeting the requirements of selecting favorable areas for multi-coal seam commingled CBM production.

Analytical Evaluation of Component Activity of Ca-Si-Al System

The excess partial molar Gibbs energy of Ca in the CaSiAl ternary system was expressed as a polynome, then the coefficients Ajk involved in the polynome were determined mainly based on the boundary data of the ternary alloy with the least-square method. The coefficients Fjk contained in the polynomial of excess molar Gibbs energy of the alloy were determined in the light of Gibbs-Duhem Equation. The polynomial expression of the excess partial molar Gibbs energy of Si and Al, in which the known Ajk and Fjk were involved, was derived according to the modified I-D means. All of the evaluated component activities of the alloy are available in the whole composition range. The results show a good agreement with the experimental data.

Study of Material Evaluation Probe Using a Longitudinal Wave and a Transverse Wave

Transmitting a longitudinal wave and a traverse wave into a composite material in a molten state has been studied in the online control of the composite material which cannot be evaluated by a conventional ultrasonic sensor as a final analysis, using the difference in the propagation characteristics of both modes. It is especially expected that measurement of the physical quantity which was not able to be conventionally measured can be performed by carrying out coincidence measurement of the ultrasonic wave in both modes. Therefore, in this research study, an ultrasonic probe, which can simultaneously transmit and receive a longitudinal wave and a traverse wave has been developed using an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) because it has the advantage of measuring high temperature samples. In this study, two methods have been compared. The 1st method uses a traverse wave EMAT that travels in a vertical direction and a bar wave by which the low order mode is equivalent to longitudinal wave vibration. The other method is to carry out the mode conversion of the traverse wave by a traverse wave-EMAT. The longitudinal converted from the transverse wave are spread in the axis direction. As the experimental results of both optimizations of the drive conditions, it has been confirmed that the 2nd mode conversion method was promising. This paper reports about the trial process and the experimental results.
