The simulation is performed under different moving speeds of the upper wall, different heights and different surface charge densities in the nanochannel. The simulation results indicate that with the increase in the surface charge density and the decrease in the nanochannel height and the shear rate, the vibration effect of silicon atoms on the shear viscosity of the confined fluid in the nanochannel cannot be ignored. Compared with still silicon atoms, the vibrating silicon atoms result in the decrease in the viscosity when the height of the nanochannel is less than 0.8 nm and the shear rate is less than 1.0 ×10^11 s^-1, and the effect of the vibrating silicon atoms on the shear viscosity is significant when the shear rate is small. This is due to the fact that the vibrating silicon atoms weaken the interactions between the counter-ions (Na^+ ) and the charged surface.展开更多

Ninety Chinese students were assigned to either of the two experimental groups or a control group, and they all experienced a pretest, an alignment phase and a posttest. In the alignment phase, the two experimental groups completed a reading-writing integrated continuation task but in different modes. For the multi-turn mode,participants reconstructed a picture story by continuing the episodes extracted from the story with one episode presented and continued at a time;for the single-turn mode, the first half of the same picture story was presented as a chunk, and then participants read and continued it. Results show that L2 learners aligned with the target structure in completing the story, and the alignment effect was retained in the posttest conducted after a delay of two weeks. Moreover, syntactic alignment was modulated by task mode with the multi-turn group exhibiting stronger immediate and longterm alignment effects. We conclude that the continuation task is a fruitful context for L2 structural alignment, and the magnitude of alignment effect hinges on interactive intensity.展开更多

Considering the cohesive force between particles, the additional static water pressure induced by the solid-body characteristics of film water and the inertia force of waves, a unified formula of the incipient motion for both coarse and fine particles is defined. The formula can reflect the variation in the initial velocity of fine particles with the volume weight of sediment. The verification of the formula is carried out by use of both experimental data and field observation data accumulated by experts at home and abroad. The verification shows that the formula expresses the law governing the incipient motion of sediment of all particle sizes inclusive of natural sediment and light-weight materials, and thus a basic formula for the study and solution of sediment problems in estuarine and coastal regions is provided.展开更多

Euler vectors of Philippine Sea plate relative to adjacent plates are also gained. Our results are well consistent with observed data and can satisfy the geological and geophysical constraints along the Caroline(CR)-PH and PA-CR boundaries. Deformation of Philippine Sea plate is also discussed by using the plate motion Euler parameters.展开更多

In the astrometric reduction, three early and three late epoch plates taken with the 40-cm refractor at Shensan, Shanghai, China, were used, with the epoch span of 73 a. The reduction was done using the central overlapping method, with 5 Hipparcos stars and 38 Tycho-2 stars as reference stars. Based on the reduced data of proper motion, the membership probabilities of the sample stars were determined. An absolute proper motion of the cluster of(1.49±0.36)mas a-1 in R.A. and (3.06±0.35)mas a-1 in Decl. was obtained. From this proper motion, together with distance and radial velocity data, we derived the space motion of NGC6205 and the orbit of the cluster in the Galaxy via numerical integration.展开更多
