Four onedimensional heat transfer models are established for the asphalt mixtures outside the heating range, which are simplified into four half-infinite solids. The intensity of the radiation electric field is calculated through experiment by using heating water loads. It is suggested that the mathematical model of boundary conditions can be established in two ways, which are theoretical deduction and experimental reverse. The actual temperature field is achieved by fitting temperatures of different positions collected in the heating experiment. The simulant temperature field, which is solved with the Matlab PDE toolbox, is in good agreement with the actual temperature field. The results indicate that the proposed models have high precision and can be directly used to calculate the temperature distribution of asphalt pavements.展开更多

Expandable graphite was irradiated in a domestic microwave in full power for 3 min, then soaked in mixed strong hydrogen nitrate and sulfuric acid with volume ratio of 1:1 for 24 h and re-irradiated, thus few-layer graphene sheets were obtained. Specimens gained from every step were selectively characterized by different techniques, such as SEM, XRD, Raman, AFM, XPS, FTIR and combustion elemental analysis. The results show that expandable graphite with loose, porous and worm-like morphology forms instantaneously in microwave irradiation with crackling sound and sparkles, which manifests physical exfoliation of graphene sheets. Few-layer graphene sheets with a dozen or more layers and average thickness of about 4.7 nm are obtained eventually after sequential treatment of microwave irradiation, mixed acid soaking and second microwave irradiation. The as-prepared few-layer graphenes still have high crystallinity and high purity with traces of oxide groups and without serious unrecoverable oxidation damage.展开更多

In order to solve these problems, a new continuous differentiable threshold function for speech enhancement was presented. Firstly, the function adopted narrow threshold areas, preserved the smaller signal speech, and improved the speech quality; secondly, based on the properties of the continuous differentiable and non-fixed deviation, each area function was attained gradually by using the method of mathematical derivation. It ensured that enhanced speech was continuous and smooth; it removed the auditory oscillation distortion; finally, combined with the Bark wavelet packets, it further improved human auditory perception. Experimental results show that the segmental SNR and PESQ (perceptual evaluation of speech quality) of the enhanced speech using this method increase effectively, compared with the existing speech enhancement algorithms based on wavelet threshold.展开更多

The power function was used to perform the nonlinear-multivariate regression analysis of UPV with water-binder ratio (w/b), curing age (t) and waste glass content (G) in our previous study. Test results show that the compressive strength increases with UPV and approach to a linear relationship. Thus, the UPV-strength model was established by linear-multivariate regression analysis and the compressive strength evaluated by ultrasonic pulse velocity. The calculated results are in accordance with the laboratory measured data ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength. In addition, the statistical analysis shows that the coefficient of determination R2 and the MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) were from 0.916 to 0.951 and 12.6% to 15.1% for the compressive strength, respectively. The proposed models are highly accurate in predicting the compressive and ultrasonic pulse velocity of WGCLSM concrete. However, with other ranges of mixture parameters, the predicted models must be further studied.展开更多

Soft magnetic material with large permeability and low energy loss in the GHz range is a challenge for the inforcom technologies. GHz magnetic properties of the soft magnetic thin films with in-plane anisotropy were investigated. It is found that several hundreds of permeability at the GHz frequency was achieved for Col00_xZrx and Co90Nbl0 metallic thin films because of their high satu- ration magnetization, and an adjustable resonance frequency from 1.3 to 4.9 GHz was obtained. Compared with the metallic thin films, the weaker saturation magnetization of Ni-Zn ferrite thin films results in several tens of permeability at the GHz frequency, but the larger resistivity of the ferrite prepared in situ without any heating treatments has lower energy loss. In order to obtain materials with large permeability and low energy loss in the GHz range, the [CoFe-NiZn ferrite] composite granular thin films were investigated, where the advantage of higher saturation magnetization for the metallic alloy and the high resis- tivity as well as high saturation magnetization for the ferrite results in a good GHz magnetic performance.展开更多

The analysis is valid in principle over the whole void fraction region. Flow pattern transitions from one flow regime to the other are assumed to occur at certain void fractions. Different correlations are used to calculate the interfacial area and interfacial drag force per unit mixture volume for bubbly flow,slug flow and annular flow respectively. The Vapour-liquid interphase heat flux is derived from the one dimensional Fourier heat conduction equation to evaluate the interphase evaporation or condensatior rate.Based on the present theory, a program has been carried out. Calculations are performed for pressure from 0.07 MPa to 16.0 MPa, void fractions from 0.0 to 1.0. The predicted sound speeds are compare with some experimental data for low pressures, good agreement has been achieved between sound speed predictions and experimental data.展开更多

With an additional driven microwave field, we show that a highly nonlinear coupling among atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate can be induced with the assistance of the cavity mode. With such interaction we can investigate the generation of many body entangled states. In particularly, we show that multipartite entangled CHZ states can be obtained in such architecture with current available techniques.展开更多
