Methods: Patients with PDA (n = 25) and ASD ( n = 16), confirmed byechocardiography, were treated by transcatheterization. Amplatzer occluder device was placed by thetranscatheterization with the image support of X-ray and transthoracic echocardiography ( TTE) . TheTTE, ECG and X-ray examination were engaged to evaluate the therapeutic results on the time pointsof 24 h , 1, 3 , 6, 12 months after the operation, and all these cases were engaged to the follow-upexamination. Results: The cardioangiographic diameter was 13.0-28.0 mm ([19.3+-4.9] mm) in ASD and2.0-7.7 mm ([3.9+-1.5] mm) in PDA . The diameter of the Amplatzer occluder selected were 13.0-30.0mm ( [20.6+-5.1] mm) in ASD and 4.0-12.0 mm ([6.6+-1.9] mm) in PDA , respectively. All the Amplatzeroccluders were placed successfully. There were no complications during and after the operation.Very small residual shunt was still found soon after the operation in 10 cases , and there were noresidual or recanalization after three months of the operation. The pulmonary artery pressure andheart size were significantly decreased in follow-up examination . Conclusion: Transcatheteringclosure with Amplatzer device is an effective, simple and safe technique in the treatment of ASD andPDA in children.展开更多

The difference of the safety towards methane of water- carrying explosives and ammonite is analysed comparatively. lt is shown that the process of detonation reaction, the duration of fIame by combustible residues of detonation and the fineness of cooling salt in detonation products are important factors of the safety of explosive towards methane. Water-carrying explosives are safer than ammonite used in coal mines.展开更多

In the scheme, by performing two unitary operations and Bell state measurements, it is shown that the three legitimate parties can exchange their respective secret message simultaneously. Then I modify it for an experimentally feasible and secure quantum sealed-bid auction (QSBD) protocol. Furthermore, I also analyze th^ecurity of the protocol, and the scheme is proven to be secure against the intercept-and-resend attack, the disturbancb attack and the entangled-and-measure attack.展开更多

The absolute volume of gas discharged has a tendency to decrease from its initial peak value to a final stable value. The rate of decrease and the time needed to reach a stable discharge are related to the scale of the mining stope. The discharge of gas from the working face is closely related to the amount of air distributed in the air return way. The most important thing in unsealing a stope is to have the initial peak volume of gas discharged well under control. A commonly used method in solving this problem is at first to use a small amount of air and then increasing it gradually. Our study shows that, by extracting gas from the upper corner, we can use a large volume of air at first in order to shorten considerably the discharge time and improve efficiency, thereby making mining, activitv safer.展开更多

The environment can degrade the structural integrity of surfaces in service by the accumulation of large numbers of small destructive events, which based on the Central Limit Theorem leads to a Gaussian distribution of pit depth. In order to develop safety envelopes relating fracture loci with topological parameters of a brittle material, scatter plots were obtained and analyzed. Starting with an engineering surface, after 6 to 9 micrometers of average degradation depth, safety envelopes could be developed using average roughness and two other proposed parameters. Interestingly, maximum pit depth showed very low correlation with the location of fracture, at the early stage of degradation studied. This is attributed to relaxation of stress concentration at a given pit location due to the assuaging effect caused by neighboring pits. Additionally, energy at fracture was obtained, and a maximum relaxation region was observed. Analytical and experimental study of this region, as well as ductility effects are currently under research.展开更多

Based on the hydrostatic mechanical seal in reactor coolant pumps, an analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model is proposed in this paper. According to the design features and operafional principles of the seal, an analytical method to calculate the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly is developed based on the ring deformation theory. A strong-interaction algorithm combining the analysis of the mechanical deformation of the seal assembly and flow field between the seal faceplates is utilized, in which the three kinds of equations including the fluid domain, solid domain and coupling action are constituted in the same equations set and all the variables are solved simul- taneously. So the analytical fluid-solid strong-interaction model used for the seal is built. Moreover, the model is verified by the experimental results. Based on the model, the design parameters of the seal are studied. Two different conditions of the general case and fixed seal leakage rate are discussed respectively, and the regularities that the seal behaviors are affected by the parameters of the holding screws on the clamp rings and seal faceplates are obtained. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for performance analysis, design and assemblage of the seal. Compared to the numerical methods, the proposed model has the unique advantages of high efficiency, convenience and easy application of constraints.展开更多
