The variations of the residual stress,nano-hardness and microstructure of the modified layer with depth from surface were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis,nano-indentation analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations. The results show thatboth the compressive residual stress and hardness decrease with increasing depth, and the termination depths are 160 and 80 μm,respectively. The microstructure observation indicates that within 80 μm, the compressive residual stress and the hardness areenhanced by the co-action of the grain refinement strengthening and dislocation strengthening. Within 80–160 μm, the compressiveresidual stress mainly derives from the dislocation strengthening. The strengthened layer in Ti-6Al-4V alloy after wet peeningtreatment was quantitatively analyzed by a revised equation with respect to a relation between hardness and yield strength.展开更多

R is called uniquely strongly clean if every element of R is uniquely strongly clean. The uniquely strong cleanness of the triangular matrix ring is studied. Let R be a local ring. It is shown that any n × n upper triangular matrix ring over R is uniquely strongly clean if and only if R is uniquely bleached and R/J(R) ≈Z2.展开更多

The concept of LDR is studied and applied for damage imaging of delamination in composite laminates. Aiming at the problem of poor anti-noise ability and inaccurate damage identification in traditional detection process,an LDR-based multi-frequency method is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method can realize the localization and imaging of delamination damage in composite materials.展开更多

Amongst studied forests,Q.leucotrichophora and Q. semecarpifolia forests exhibited high sensitivity towards disturbance intensities.In both forests, increasing level of disturbance significantly lowered tree density,dominance and natural recruitment (seedling and sapling density).Q.floribunda forests, however,appeared relatively more resilient to anthropogenic disturbances.Amongst studied oak forests,Q.semecarpifolia forests with overall poor natural regeneration are in a most critically endangered demographic state.However,a slightly improved regeneration(i.e.,seedling density)in moderately disturbed plots is indicative that such plots may be utilized most suitably for in situ revival of these forests.Effect of disturbance intensities on tree population is an important subject for forest ecology and management and the present study highlights a need for adopting different management strategies across disturbance intensities in diverse oak forests of west Himalaya.展开更多

Priorities for this include: appropriate objectives for service sector development, enhanced functionality, integrated development between manufacturing and services, improved regional layout of the service sector, and the emergence of reputable brands and leading enterprises. Well-designed and effective industrial policies, as well as calls for major breakthroughs in institutional mechanisms, must support the development of the service sector. Additionally, excessive burdens and difficult financing channels need to be addressed. More attention should be paid to the construction of the credit system, service standardization, and service statistical accounting as element tasks.展开更多
