The results show the through-space interactions of the title molecule decrease with the increasing of D,the through-space interactions of pi orbital are larger than that of sigma orbital. Furthermore, through-bond interactions of the pi orbtial and sigma orbital were analyzed basing on the calculations of the electronic structure of the title molecule. Both through-space and through-bond interactions are Large and,the net interactions are small. The calculated ionization potential energies of the title molecule which were obtained by transition-state procedure are in good agreement with the PE spectroscopy.展开更多

It mainly comprises three springs that are configured so that the potential energy of the system has two stable equilibrium points. In particular, the small vibration behavior of the harvester around one of the equilibriums is of interest. A multi-scale method(MSM) is used to analyze the frequency response curve. Two snap-through mechanisms are considered. One has both horizontal and vertical springs. The other has only horizontal springs. The frequency response curves of these two classes are compared under the same excitation and electric loading conditions. The latter exhibits more bending of the frequency response curve than the former one. The results are also validated by some numerical work. The averaged power subject to the Gaussian white noise is calculated numerically, and the results demonstrate that bi-stable energy harvesting with only horizontal springs can outperform the mechanism with both horizontal and vertical springs for the same distance between two equilibriums.展开更多

RESULTS:In 15 patients,13 patients were cured entirely,1 patient was meliorated,1 patient with no effects.All patients had got good recovery of eyelid laceration with no traumatic deformity in eyelid and canthus.Complication was seen in one case,for not followed the doctor’s guidance to come back to hospital to had the suture removed on the 7thday after operation,when he came at the 15thday,the inferior canalicular wall and eyelid skin were corroded by the suture caused 2mm wound,and the inside silicone tube was exposed,a promptly repair with 10-0 nylon suture was done,the wound healed in a week.There were no early tube protrusions and punctal slits in the patients.CONCLUSION:One-stitch anastomosis through the skin with bicanalicular silicone tube intubation is a good method in repair of bicanalicular laceration in one eye,the cut ends can be anastomosed directly,and with excellent cosmetic results,it is acceptable for the patients.For there is no suture remained in the wound permanently,so there is no suture-related granuloma which may cause obstruction or stenosis of canaliculi.It is simple,economical,effective and safe.展开更多

The artificial neural network was used in predicting BTP, modification on backpropagation algorithm was made in order to improve the convergence and self organize the hidden layer neurons.

Usually the Power-Take-Off(PTO) system is a directly linear electric generator or a hydraulic motor that drives an electric generator. The PTO system is simplified as a linear spring and a linear damper. However the conversion is less powerful with wave periods off resonance. Thus, a nonlinear snap-through mechanism with two symmetrically oblique springs and a linear damper is applied in the PTO system. The nonlinear snap-through mechanism is characteristics of negative stiffness and double-well potential. An important nonlinear parameter γ is defined as the ratio of half of the horizontal distance between the two springs to the original length of both springs. Time domain method is applied to the dynamics of wave energy converter in regular waves. And the state space model is used to replace the convolution terms in the time domain equation. The results show that the energy harvested by the nonlinear PTO system is larger than that by linear system for low frequency input. While the power captured by nonlinear converters is slightly smaller than that by linear converters for high frequency input. The wave amplitude, damping coefficient of PTO systems and the nonlinear parameter γ affect power capture performance of nonlinear converters. The oscillation of nonlinear wave energy converters may be local or periodically inter well for certain values of the incident wave frequency and the nonlinear parameter γ, which is different from linear converters characteristics of sinusoidal response in regular waves.展开更多

This paper focuses on the problem of automatic identification of query types according to the goals. Four novel entropy-based features extracted from anchor data and click-through data are proposed, and a support vector machines (SVM) classifier is used to identify the user's goal based on these features. Experi- mental results show that the proposed entropy-based features are more effective than those reported in previous work. By combin- ing multiple features the goals for more than 97% of the queries studied can be correctly identified. Besides these, this paper reaches the following important conclusions: First, anchor-based features are more effective than click-through-based features; Second, the number of sites is more reliable than the number of links; Third, click-distribution- based features are more effective than session-based ones.展开更多

As a result, targets are obscured and not visible in the image. In this work, an antenna planes-based wall clutter mitigation method was proposed. By using two imaging procedures in different scanning planes, this method can mitigate the wall clutter in both SAR and MIMO modes. The proposed method was tested using EM numerical data via the FDTD method. The processing results show that the imaging quality is improved significantly.展开更多

A large deformation finite element method (LDFE) is used to simulate the penetration process of spudcan into sand overlying clay. The sand is simulated by smoothed hyperbolic Mohr-Coulomb model, and the clay is simulated by a simple elasto-plastic model which obeys Tresca yield criterion. According to the LDFE results of a large amount of cases, the effects of the strength, unit weight and thickness of the top sand layer, as well as the effect of the strength of the underlying clay on the spudcan punch-through behavior, are investigated. The critical depth occurring punch-through and the critical bearing capacity are presented in charts. Fitting equations to calculate the critical punch-through depth and the critical bearing capacity are proposed for the convenience of engineering practice.展开更多

Based on the frequency dependent equivalent electrical parameters for the TSV channel, an analytical crosstalk noise model is established to capture the TSV induced crosstalk noise. The impact of various design parameters including insulation dielectric, via pitch, via height, silicon conductivity, and terminal impedance on the crosstalk noise is analyzed with the proposed model. Two approaches are proposed to alleviate the TSV noise, namely, driver sizing and via shielding, and the SPICE results show 241 rnV and 379 mV reductions in the peak noise voltage, respectively.展开更多
