This model could connect the micro-parameters of the cracks with the macro- mechanical properties, and can be effectively applied to model the real inhomogeneous medium. Numerical example indicates that the random distribution characters could be different for different elastic constants under the same random distribution of number density of cracks. By changing the value of the autocorrelation length pair, it is possible to model the difference of the distribution in the two coordinate directions. Numerical modeling results for seismic wave propagating in rocks with random distributed fractures using a staggered high-order finite-difference (SHOFD) are also presented.展开更多

The method is based on hydride generation and atomic absorption spectrometry. For both As (Ⅲ) and As (Ⅴ) the parameters such as NaBH4, HCI concentration, and pH were optimized. Absorption signal of As (Ⅴ) was approximately 17% of As (Ⅲ) signal. Therefore, for estimation of As (Ⅲ) and As (Ⅴ) concentrations in various samples the difference between the absorbance obtained for arsenic, without and with previous treatment of samples with potassium iodide (KI), can be applied. The calibration graphs were linear (r〉0.99), and the detection limits of the method based on three times the standard deviation of the blank were 0.14 and 0.64 μL^-1 for As (Ⅲ) and As (Ⅴ), respectively. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of measurements was less than 10%. As a means of checking performance method, water samples were spiked with known concentrations of both As (Ⅲ) and As (Ⅴ), and recovery above 94% was obtained. The proposed method was applied successfully to determine inorganic As (Ⅲ) and As (Ⅴ) in various environmental and total As in biological samples.展开更多

The data acquisition system (DAS) and the signal processing method are presented. The DAS was designed using a muhi-DSP based structure. The signal processing method adopted a well-enhanced split-spectrum processing (SSP) based on weighting algorithm according to statistical times, which was the statistical distribution of the discrete signals selected by the minimization algorithm. Furthermore, the data compressing method was discussed. It assures the mass data to be processed and compressed in real-time. The effectiveness of the method was proved by laboratory experiments. The research provides an excellent base for further development of the ultrasonic pig.展开更多

Therefore, diamond can be cut by repetitive irradiation. In this study, the processing mechanism of ablation for a single crystal diamond was examined using a heat conduction analysis, considering laser absorption at the surface or the temperature dependence of absorption coefficient. When the laser beam is absorbed at the surface layer, the surface layer is ablated during an early period in the laser pulse. Once the absorption surface layer is ablated, the laser beam penetrates the base material and ablation stops. On the other hand, if the authors assume that single crystal diamond has the temperature dependence of absorption coefficient which is about equal to that of CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond, the temperature rise is not enough to ablate the material. However, it became clear that the diamond is ablated deeply when the authors consider both absorption at the surface layer and the temperature dependence of the absorption coefficient. It can be considered that the surface is transformed to graphite and becomes the absorption layer during the repetitive irradiation. It is estimated that the phase change to graphite is very small and its volume fraction is a few percent at most.展开更多

Methods: From 2009 to 2013, a total of 290 cases with PICC were enrolled in our study. They were divided into two groups. The patients in control group took regular position, which mean pros- tration, upper limb of tube side was abduction 90°, head moved to puncture side in order to block the internal jugular vein. On the basis of conventional body position putting, posture of patients in observation group was improved, the head remain neutral, and had 180° angle with trunk longitudinal axis, not favor any side. After ensuring the upper limb abduction, had 90° angle with the trunk, then catheter was inserted slowly. The jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate was judged by X.ray results. Results: The jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate of control group and observation was 12.8% and 0.68%, respectively. The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: The body posture improvement can prevent discomfort of patients and reduce the jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate of PICC.展开更多

All rates of decolorization were above 92%, the removal of total organic carbon was above 89% in all treatments and the economy of NaCI was from 3.10 in the first recipe, 3.17 in the second, 3.49 in the third, 3.79 in the fourth and 4.05 in the fifth recipe. The five dyeings compared with same dyeings made with deionized water presented a color deviation (AE*) below 1. The conventional dyeings would consume 80 L/kg against 40 L/kg used in the dyeing process proposed in this study, representing a great economy of water, with no discharge of effluents.展开更多

The sludge remained after municipal wastewater treatment contains considerable amounts of various contaminants and if is not properly handled and disposed, it may produce extensive health hazards. On the other hand, this sludge has benefit for plants and soils. Sludge samples were collected over a 12 month period from sewage treatment plants (STP's), i.e, Khairathabad and Meeralam Tank, Hyderabad, India and analyzed for C, H, N, S by elementar analyzer, P, K, Ca, Mg by spectrophotometer and heavy metals like Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Cd by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The sludge contained approximately 50% organic matter and 1-4% inorganic carbon. Organic and inorganic carbon, organic nitrogen, inorganic phosphorous, Ca and Mg were found to be present in sludge at a relatively constant concentration with respect to sampling time. Inorganic N, organic P, K, and all metals were found to be quite variable with time when sludge produced from different STP's.展开更多

Methods: Ninety-nine conventional X-ray images (82 were overexposed and 17 were underexposed),scanned by an UMAX Astra 4000U Scanner, were converted into digital images on the basis of their analog images. A computerized imaging processing program consisting of five functional modules such as Contrast Stretch, Fast Flourier Transform (FFT), Image Smoothing Modules, Inverse Fast Flourier Transform (IFFT) and Nonlinear Transform performed image contrast stretch and smoothing. Three senior doctors from hospital image sections made their evaluation of all the processed images. Results: Of 82 overexposed films, 71 met the clinical requirements after image processing, and 11 were unable to be applied to clinical diagnosis, accounting for 87% and 13% respectively. Of the other 17 underexposed X-ray images, 11 met the clinical requirements while 6 were not, making a percentage of 64 and 35. Conclusion: Image contrast stretch and smoothing processing are significantly effective on conventional X-ray images which were inappropriately exposed, and can avoid more X-ray radiation caused by handling of radiological photograph again. This method can decrease hospital cost and provide acute and effective X-ray examinations for the treatment and cure for critical patients.展开更多

The phase structure of as-cast and laser-treated samples was characterized by XRD and the morphology of the alloys after fracture was examined by SEM. The compressive plasticity of treated Cu47.sZr47.sAI5 and Cu46.sZr47.sAlsCo~ BMGs can be improved from 0.5% to 2.0% and from 1.2% to 5.7% respectively compared with the as-cast ones, while (Cu0.55Zr0.40Ala05)99Er~ BMG shows insignificant change of plasticity. The improvement in plasticity is attributed to induced crystallization of B2 CuZr phase in the treated sur- face zone of selected metallic glasses.展开更多

High densities of ZnO nanorods were grown over a large area and most ZnO nanorods were vertically well-aligned on graphene. Furthermore, selective growth of ZnO nanorods on graphene was realized by applying a simple mechanical treatment, since ZnO nanorods formed on graphene are mechanically stable on an atomic level. These results were confirmed by first principles calculations which showed that the ZnO-graphene binding has a low destabilization energy. In addition, it was found that ZnO nanorods grown on SiO2/Si with a graphene buffer layer have better optical properties than ZnO nanorods grown on bare SiO2/Si. The nanostructured ZnO-graphene materials have promising applications in future flexible electronic and optical devices.展开更多
