Scraps were smelted to produce Cu?Zn?Sn?Ag alloy. Multiphase material was analyzed by SEM?EDS and XRD. The alloy was dissolved anodically with simultaneous metal electrodeposition using ammoniacal and sulfuric acid solutions or leached in ammonia?ammonium sulfate solution and then copper electrowinning was carried out. This resulted in the separation of metals, where lead, silver and tin accumulated mainly in the slimes, while copper was transferred to the electrolyte and then recovered on the cathode. The best conditions of the alloy treatment were obtained in the sulfuric acid, where the final product was metal of high purity (99% Cu) at the current efficiency of 90%. Ammoniacal leaching of the alloy led to the accumulation of copper ions in the electrolyte and further metal electrowinning, but the rate of the spontaneous dissolution was low. Anodic dissolution of the alloy in the ammonia?ammonium sulfate solution led to the unfavorable distribution of metals among the slime, electrolyte and cathodic deposit.展开更多

Based on the concept of collision avoidance plane (CAP), collisions among cutters or headstocks are avoided, and the area of machining residue is controlled effectively. Machining residue is eliminated due to proper design of symmetrical tool in mechanism and control project. Taking 5-axis symmetrical machine with columnar headstocks and flat cutters as example, this paper proposes collision avoidance algorithm. Finally, using a twin-skeg ship model surface as an example, the method is applied to avoiding collisions in original tool path. Simulation and real machining results show that the scheme is practical. Furthermore, the machining efficiency of SM is improved 85% more than that of the traditional single cutter technology.展开更多

However, previous studies showed that staff's attitude toward E-learning significantly affected the outcomes of training. The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptance of E-learning in a telecommunication company. The researchers adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) and diffusion of innovation theory to evaluate the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on E-learning, in addition to employees' self-directed learning motivation, attitude toward computers, and organizational influence. We randomly chose 571 employees of the telecommunication entrepreneur at the Taichung office in Taiwan to participate in this survey.

One of the reasons might be attributed to the lack in metacognitive abilities. The aim of this study was to compare the metacognitive characteristics between non-major and major students in electric engineering and clarify the difference of metacognitive process between these two groups when solving basic problems of electronic circuit. In the experiment, the solving process was compared between non-major and major students in electric engineering using five basic problems. We found that the scores on prediction of result and confidence of own answer differed significantly between non-major and major students, and inferred that the difference of performance was due to the lack in metacognitive ability, especially the plan and the execution abilities. Both prediction of results and confidence of own answer were also found to play a significant role in effective problem solving as important components (subsystems) of metacognition.展开更多

In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tensile testing were carried out to study changes and mechanisms of the stainless steel structures and properties during work-hardening and annealing-softening. The results indicate that annealing at low temperatures (100-500 ~C) can only remove partial residual stresses in the sample and the softening via annealing is not obvious. Bright annealing and rapid cooling in a protective atmosphere can completely soften the cold-worked material. In addition, the low-temperature sample without a protective atmosphere only has a little oxidation on the surface, but at higher temperature the oxidized layer is very thick. Thus, high-temperature annealing should include bright annealing.展开更多

Although with the presence of organic sources in synthesis process, the pure phase Li3VO4 with superior nanofibrous morphology is still successfully obtained through adjusting different heat treatment processes and different vanadium sources. The prepared Li3VO4@C nanofibers exhibit a unique structure in which nanosized Li3VO4 particles are uniformly embedded in amorphous carbon matrix. Compared with LiBVO4/C powder, Li3VO4@C nanofibers display enhanced reversible capacity of 451 mAhg^-1 at 40mAg^-1 with an increased initial coulombic efficiency of 82.3%, and the capacity can remain at 394 mAh g ^-1 after 100 cycles. This superior electrochemical performance can be attributed to its unique structure which ensures a high reactivity by nanosized Li3VO4, more stable electrode/electrolyte interface by carbon encapsulation, improved electronic conductivity and buffered volume changes by flexible carbon matrix. The electrospinning technology provides an effective method to obtain high performance Li3VO4 as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.展开更多
