The surface of the steel plate was defatted, descaled, immersed (inK_2ZrF_6 flux aqueous solution) and stoved. Al-20Sn slurry was prepared using the electromagneticmechanical starring method. The interfacial mechanical property of the bonding plate was researchedto determine the relationship between the diffusion time and the interfacial shear strength. Inorder to identify the mechanism of bonding, the interfacial structure of the bonding plate wasstudied. The results show that at a prebeat temperature of the steel plate of 505 deg C and a solidfraction of Al-20Sn slurry of 35 percent, the relationship between the interfacial shear strength Sand the diffusion time t is S=28.8+4.3t-0.134t^2 +0.0011t^3. When the diffusion time is 22 s, thelargest interfacial shear strength is 70.3 MPa, and the corresponding interface is a new one whichis made up of Fe-Al compound and Fe-Al solid solution alternatively and in a right proportion. Inthis interfacial structure, the interfacial embrittlement does not happen and Fe-Al compound canplay its role in strong combination adequately.展开更多

The pathological changes were divided into three phases: early cerebral infarction, middle cerebral infarction, and late cerebral infarction. In the early cerebral infarction phase (less than 2 hours post-infarction), there was evidence of intracellular edema, which improved after reperfusion. This improvement was defined as the ischemic penumbra. In this phase, a high DWI signal and a low apparent diffusion coefficient were observed in the right basal ganglia region. By contrast, there were no abnormal T2WI and T2FLAIR signals. For the middle cerebral infarction phase (2-4 hours post-infarction), a mixed edema was observed. After reperfusion, there was a mild improvement in cell edema, while the angioedema became more serious. A high DWI signal and a low apparent diffusion coefficient signal were observed, and some rats showed high T2WI and T2FLAIR signals. For the late cerebral infarction phase (4-6 hours post-infarction), significant angioedema was visible in the infarction site. After reperfusion, there was a significant increase in angioedema, while there was evidence of hemorrhage and necrosis. A mixed signal was observed on DWI, while a high apparent diffusion coefficient signal, a high T2WI signal, and a high T2FLAIR signal were also observed. All 86 cerebral infarction patients were subjected to T2WI, T2FLAIR, and DWI. MRI results of clinic data similar to the early infarction phase of animal experiments were found in 51 patients, for which 10 patients (10/51) had an onset time greater than 6 hours. A total of 35 patients had MRI results similar to the middle and late infarction phase of animal experiments, of which eight patients (8/35) had an onset time less than 6 hours. These data suggest that defining the "therapeutic time window" as the time 6 hours after infarction may not be suitable for all patients. Integrated application of MRI sequences including T2WI, T2FLAIR, DW-MRI, and apparent diffusion coefficient mapping should be used to examine the ischemic penumbra, which may provide valuable information for identifying the "therapeutic time window".展开更多

In order to shorten the computation time, a hybrid model based on CFD and time series neural network (TSNN) is proposed in this paper. The concentration change of radioactive contamination in an inland reservoir after a postulated accident is studied as a case. The result shows that this hybrid model can predict the contaminant diffusion trend and shorten at least 50% of iteration time. Priori knowledge integrated into the neural network model is able to reduce the mean square error of network output to 9.66×10 8 , which makes neural network output more close to the simulated contaminant concentration.展开更多
