浅谈杨树成林不成材

杨树一直是造林中的主角,随着国家对各类造林工程投入的加大,杨树造林的面积也逐年递增,形成郁闭度的杨林面积也不在少数,生态效益显著,但杨树成材的情况却不容乐观,林农的经济效益屡屡受损,杨树成林不成材成为困扰林业工作人员和广大林农的难题,文章将对原因进行探讨。

不成材的果树

人们总是盼望树大成材。成材的树，派大用场，不成材的树，只能被砍了烧火。

Modeling of material deformation behavior in micro-forming under consideration of individual grain heterogeneity

This study aims to develop a model to characterize the inhomogeneous material deformation behavior in micro-forming.First,the influence of individual grain heterogeneity on the deformation behavior of CuZn20 foils was investigated via tensile and micro-hardness tests.The results showed that different from thick sheets,the hardening behavior of grains in the deformation area of thin foils is not uniform.The flow stress of thin foils actually only reflects the average hardening behavior of several easy-deformation-grains,which is the reason that thinner foils own smaller flow stress.Then,a composite modeling method under consideration of individual grain heterogeneity was developed,where the effects of grain orientation and shape are quantitatively represented by the method of flow stress classification and Voronoi tessellation,respectively.This model provides an accurate and effective method to analyze the influence of individual grain heterogeneity on the deformation behavior of the micro-sized material.

Stress and deformation due to embankment widening with different treatment techniques

A two-dimensional(2-D) finite element(FE) model was developed to analyze the deformation and stress of embankment on soft ground due to widening with different treatment techniques.It is found that the embankment widening induces transverse gradient change due to differential settlements and horizontal outward movements at the shoulder of the existing embankment.Embankment widening also increases the shear stress along the slope of the existing embankment,especially at the foot of slope.The failure potential due to embankment widening may increase with the increase of widening width when the widening width is smaller than 8.5 m,but may decrease with the increase of widening width as the widening width is greater than 8.5 m.The effectiveness of four ground and embankment treatment techniques,including geosynthetic reinforcement,light-weight embankment,deep mixed columns,and separating wall were compared.The results indicate that these treatments reduce the differential settlements and improve the stability.The light-weight embankment has the most effectiveness among four treatments.By using the fly-ash backfill material in widening,the transverse gradient change decreases from 0.5%-1.3% to 0.26%-0.8% and the maximum horizontal displacement decreases from 2.76 cm to 1.44 cm.

Investigation and Analysis of High Temperature Corrosion and Degradation of Marine Boiler Combustion Swirler

The present paper investigated and analyzed swirler material consisting of mild steel which was subjected to service for the period of one year in a 30 MW marine boiler. Due to the presence of high temperatures in the furnace coupled with the corrosive marine environment swirler material showed accelerated degradation and material wastage. An investigation into the feasibility of manufacturing the existing swirler with an alternate material or coating the swirler material with a thermal barrier coating was undertaken. Based on their properties and performance, SS 304 and SS 316 were proposed as the replacement materials for the swirler. The other alternative of coating the existing swirlers with a form thermal barrier coating to observe for any improvement in their performance at elevated temperatures was also tested. Stellite, which is a Ni-Co based coating, was carried out on the MS samples and the same were exposed to same temperatures mentioned above. The performance of the available options was evaluated with respect to the grain structure of the material, the hardness value of the materials and deterioration at elevated temperatures. Investigation showed the proposed materials/ coatings like SS 304, SS 316 and Stellite coating revealed that SS 316 is the material best suited for high temperature application.

Performance of a Nonwoven Geotextile Reinforced Wall with Unsaturated Fine Backfill Soil

The use of marginal backfills in GSE （geosynthetic stabilized earth） walls has not been recommended by different standards specifications. Restrictions are motivated by the poor hydraulic conductivity of fine soils that are capable of developing of water pressures. However, the use of granular materials can expend the cost of the construction. As a result, local soils, granular or not, have been increasingly used. Unsaturated conditions of fine soils may result in convenient performance even using extensible reinforcements. This paper evaluates the performance of a full scale model of a nonwoven geotextile reinforced wall constructed with fine grained soil backfill. The unsaturated condition was maintained and matric suctions, displacements and reinforcement strains were monitored during the test. Results have shown that the unsaturated condition of the backfill allowed maximum reinforcement peak strain of 0.4 %. For the case of a wrap faced wall on a firm foundation the performance and good agreement between measured strains and factors of safety from limit equilibrium analyses have shown the maintenance of unsaturated conditions as an economical alternative to the use of high quality fill.

岁末感怀

征程回首不成材,转眼古稀方自哀。不慕虚荣攀势贵,只求实绩踏阶台。诗书可作清风读,乐曲堪为美酒杯。莫道桑榆红日短,余温能助万花开。

Amplified circularly polarized luminescence promoted by hierarchical selfassembly involving Pt···Pt interactions

The design and construction of highly effective circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)-active materials has aroused considerable attention due to their widespread applications in sensors,optical devices,and asymmetric synthesis.However,the exploration of novel CPL-active materials with high luminescence dissymmetry factor(glum)values is still a challenge.Herein,we describe a new approach for the preparation of supramolecular metallacycles with amplified CPL promoted by hierarchical self-assembly involving Pt···Pt interactions.Notably,the resultant metallacycles exhibited strong CPL signals with high glum values,while their corresponding precursors were CPL silent.The CPL amplification mechanism was comprehensively validated by ultravioletvisible absorption,emission spectroscopy,nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,atomic force microscopy,coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations,and timedependent density functional theory calculations.This work thus provides the first example of preparing highly effective CPL-active materials based on hierarchical self-assembly involving Pt···Pt interactions.
