Some investigations are made out on the mixture in the middle course through the modified wheel tracking test in air bath and the Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) in water bath, and the results of which are compared with the corresponding research in Germany. Results show that the Sup20 and the modified AC-20I have better performance than that of AC-20I under the same test conditions. In addition, the high-quality bitumen and hard aggregate can improve the rutting performance of the mixture in water-submerged conditions. The selection of modified asphalt, hard aggregate and a reasonable gradation are essential to the improvement of the rutting resistance of the mixtures used in the middle course.展开更多

Unsaturated Marshall samples were exposed to freeze-thaw cycling while immersed in the deicer solutions of different concentrations. After the freeze-thaw cycles, Cantabro tests were performed, and Cantabro loss was adopted to characterize the stripping resistance of asphalt mixture. The test results show that calcium chloride has the best comprehensive ice melting performance, and all deicers have detrimental effect on the stripping resistance of asphalt mixture at different degrees. The damage degree depends on deicer types and their concentration in the solution. Deicer solutions with about 2% concentration cause the greatest loss of stripping resistance due to serious freeze-thaw damage. Sodium acetate causes greater loss of stripping resistance than sodium chloride and calcium chloride at the same concentration.展开更多

All samples present a spinel structure. The lattice constant increases with the increase in the Zn content while the grain size decreases from 18 nm to 9 nm. Moreover, the saturation magnetzafion at 5 K and 293 K increases initially when x ≤ 0. 40 and subsequently decreases when x 〉 0. 40. At room temperature, Mossbauer spectra exhibit a change from a well-defined sextet spectrum to a doublet spectrum as the Zn content increases. The doublet spectrum begins to appear when x = 0. 6, while it begins when x = 0. 80 for the bulk materials. The results of magnetization and Curie temperature measurements indicate that the doublet spectrum is due to the surperparamagnetic state of the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the relationship between the hyperfine field variation and the cation distribution is discussed. The variation of magnetic properties is interpreted by the three-sublattice Yafet-Kittel (Y-K)model.展开更多

The correlation of the permanent deformations of the MA and the correlation of the deformation developments of the SMA between the two tests are analyzed, respectively. Results show that both the two tests can effectively identify the high temperature performance of mixtures, and the correlation between the final results of the two tests as well as that between the deformation developments of the two tests are excellent with R20.9. In order to further prove the correlation, viscoelastic parameters estimated from the RTT results is used to simulate the rutting development in the HWTT slabs by the finite element method (FEM). Results indicate that the correlation between the two tests is significant with errors less than 10%. It is suitable to predict the rutting development with the viscoelastic parameters obtained from the RTT.展开更多

New strategies for the desulfurization of fuels have been explored to meet the urgent need to produce cleaner gasoline. Adsorptive desulfurization(ADS) is one of the most promising complementary and alternative methods. Herein,nanocrystalline ferrite adsorbents were synthesized from metal nitrates and urea using a microwave assisted combustion method. A series of ADS experiments were performed using a fixed‐bed reactor to evaluate the ADS reactivity over the ferrites, which was found to have the order MgFe2O4〉NiFe2O4〉CuZnFe2O4〉ZnFe2O4〉CoFe2O4. This effect is explained by the fact that the low degree of alloying of Mg‐Fe and the doped Mg increased the interaction between Fe and S compounds,leading to a significant improvement in the desulfurization capability of the adsorbent.Additionally, Mg can dramatically promote the decomposition of thiophene. X‐ray diffraction and Mosbauer spectroscopy were used to characterize the fresh, regenerated, and sulfided adsorbents.Although the ferrite adsorbents were partially sulfided to bimetallic sulfides during the adsorption process, they were successfully regenerated after calcining at 500 °C in air.展开更多

CH3 radicals are produded by photodissociation of CH3I at 266 nm. Translational energy distribution and angular distribution for the CH2 product from CH3 photodissociation at different vibrational levels via the 3s Rydberg state have been measured. From these distributions, product J state distributions are obtained for photodissociation of different vibrationally excited CH3 radicals. The effect of parent vibrational as well as rotational excitation on the dissociation dynamics of CH3 is also investigated in detail. Experimental results in this work show that parent vibrational excitation in the umbrella mode has a significant effect on both rotational excitation and angular distribution of the CH2 product, while parent rotational excitation has obvious effect only on the angular distribution of CH2 product.展开更多

The urgencies and realistic significance were analyzed to carry out earthquake disaster reduction planning for districts or countries in the northwest. With Hongsibao District in Wuzhong City, Ningxia Province as an example, this article analyzed in detail the present situation and the special problems of earthquake disaster reduction planning in Northwest China.

Product rotational state-resolved differential cross sections have been measured. Most of the DF products are backward scattered at low collision energies and then gradually shift to the sideway as the collision energy increases. In addition to the backward and sideway scatterings, we have also observed the DF(v'=4) product in the forward direction for the first time for this reaction. The forward scattering DF(v=4) product also increases with the collision energy. Angular and collision energy dependence of the product energy disposals in different degrees of freedom have been determined. Collision energy dependence of the vibrational branching ratios has also been examined. Possible dynamical origins of the forward scattering DF(v'=4) products were discussed.展开更多

Product vibrational and rotational state-resolved differential cross sections have been determined. The intensity of the HF(v1=2) forward products decreases as the collision energy increases, suggesting that the resonance contribution is reduced as the collision energy increases. The forward peak of HF(vl=3) product has also been observed above the threshold of this product channel. Product energy disposals in different degrees of freedom have been analyzed. The collision energy dependence of the HF vibrational product branching was also determined. This work presents a comprehensive dynamic picture of this resonance mediated reaction in a wide collision energy regime, providing a good test ground for theoretical understandings of this interesting reaction at higher collision energies.展开更多

The ion-pair anion efficiency spectra of 35Cl- and 37Cl- are recorded in the photon energy range of 7.75-22.00 eV.

With the references of the high-resolution photoabsorption spectra reported in the literatures, we make tentative assignments of the electron valence-to-Rydberg transitions. Furthermore, the multibody ion-pair fragmentation processes to Cl- are discussed by comparison between the calculated thermochemical thresholds and the experimental efficiency spectrum.展开更多
