The approach is to predict petrophysical properties in the laboratory on the basis of physical rock datasets, which include the formation factor, viscosity, permeability, and molecular composition. However, this approach does not consider the effect of spatial distribution of the calibration data on the interpolation result. This study proposes a new RBF interpolation approach based on the Freedman's RBF interpolation approach, by which the unit basis functions are uniformly populated in the space domain. The inverse results of the two approaches are comparatively analyzed by using our datasets. We determine that although the interpolation effects of the two approaches are equivalent, the new approach is more flexible and beneficial for reducing the number of basis functions when the database is large, resulting in simplification of the interpolation function expression. However, the predicted results of the central data are not sufficiently satisfied when the data clusters are far apart.展开更多

Three aspects were examined: the micro-morphology, the mineral composition and the content of heavy metals. The results show that the fly ash from plants using a circulating fluidized bed are more irregular par- ticles, while the particles from the plants using a pulverized coal-fired boiler are mainly spherical in shape. Quartz and mullite are the main crystalline phases in the ash. Clearly, both the technology and the coal used by a power plant can influence the mineral composition of the ash. The mineral composition of fly ash from a circulating fiuidized bed is more complex than that from a pulverized coal-fired boiler. The quantity of elements found in the fly ash is greater than that found in the bottom ash for the same plant. Heavy metals are likely to be enriched in the fly ash. Heavy metal leachability was studied using two leaching methods. The results indicate that most of the heavy metals that leached during either batch leaching or column leaching experiments did not exceed the related maximum concentration standards. But Ni concentrations in the leachates from both batch and column tests exceed the standard. The highest excess rates in both tests were 572~ and 497~, which levels might threaten the environment.展开更多

The drying process may influence the product properties and quality, which may shrink, break or undergo rheological, physical and biochemical changes. The important parameters responsible for such changes are drying conditions, type of drying technology and residence drying time. Thermal conductivity, thermal-mass diffusivity, enthalpy, porosity and density are the main material property and heat-mass transfer parameters, which are essential for understanding the changes in product quality and for designing and dimensioning the drying processes. In this paper physical properties of food products undergoing a combined sublimation and evaporation were studied. Pieces of vegetables and potatoes were dried in a heat pump fluidized bed dryer at combined modes with temperatures below the freezing point in the beginning and a final drying step at temperatures above the freezing point. Samples of products were tested at different moisture contents with respect to physical properties. Physical properties of leek and potato samples were measured and mass diffusivities were determined from drying kinetic data. Based on bulk density and rehydration measurements it was clearly observed that drying temperature and modes influenced the final product physical properties. The potato cube run dried with initial atmospheric freeze-drying step had rehydration ability 430%above a run dried only above the freezing point. The average effective mass diffusivity for 5 mm slabs of leek was 0.5 x 10-11m2·s-1 for the sublimation stage and 2.2 x 10-11m2·s-1 for the evaporation stage.展开更多

Due to the sufficient vibrational and rotational cooling effect of the molecular beam and the higher resolution VUV laser, the observed absorption spectra exhibit more distinct spectral features than the previous works measured at room temperature. The major three vibrational bands are assigned as a C-C symmetry stretching vibrational progress (v2=0.2) of the C^1Πu state of acetylene. The observed shoulder peak at 148,2 nm is assigned to the first overtone band of the trans-bending mode V4 of the C^1Πu state of acetylene. Additionally, the two components, 4^20(μ^1Π) and 4^20(k^1Πu), are suggested to exhibit in the present absorption spectra, due to their Renner-Teller effect and transition selection rule. All band origins and bandwidths are obtained subsequently, and it is found that bandwidths are broadened and lifetimes decrease gradually with the excitation of vibration.展开更多

The stabilities S of complexes follow S(2)〉S(3)〉S(4) and S(3),.~S(6)〉S(5), indicating that 6 is stable and may be synthesized. The complexes with thiocyanate are more stable than that with chloride in Fe(CO)3(EtPhPpy)2CdX2. The strength I of Fe-M interactions follows I(2)≈I(3)〈I(4). The Fe-Cd interactions of 3 and 6, which contain thiocyanate, are stronger than that of 5 with chloride. The charge-transfer, which enhances with the increasing of Fe-M interaction strength, comes from Et, Ph, py, CO groups towards P, Fe, and M atoms. Because the delocalization of thiocyanate disperses the charge of M2+, the charge-transfer of the complexes with thiocyanate is stronger than that with chloride. There is a a-bond between Fe and Hg atoms in 4. However, in binuclear complexes except 4, the Fe-M interactions act as nFe→nM, σP-Fe→nM and σC-Fe→nM delocalization, and the N-M interactions mainly act as nN→nM delocalization. In binuclear complexes, due to the Fe→M interactions, the strong σFe--C→σ*Fe--p or σFe-Hg→σ*Fe--I2 delocalization and the charge-transfer, the electron density on P nucleus is increased, and thus upfield 31p chemical shifts are caused (compared with mononuclear complex 1).展开更多

Nanometallocarbosilanes were synthesized by thermal co-condensation of oligocarbosilanes and alkyl amides of refractory metals. Initial, intermediate and final products of side reactions were characterized by 1H, 13C, 29Si NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), IR (infra-red) spectroscopy, GPC (gel-penetrating chromatography), TGA (thermal gravimetric analysis), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), RES (X-ray phase analysis) and elemental analysis. The proposed synthesis method of nanometallocarbosilanes was lbund to produce fusable soluble organosilicon oligomers with homogeneous distribution of nanoscale (10-20 nm) metal particles in the oligomer matrix. A computational model of the group and elemental composition of nanometallocarbosilanes was developed; it was shown that they are molecular globules of near-spherical shape and rigid polycyclic structure. Thermochemical treatment of nanometallocarbosilanes leads to SiC-nanoceramics (a high yield of up to 75-80 mass%) modified by metal nanoparticles (20-30 nm) contributing to its stabilization. The application of preceramic oxygen-free nanometallocarbosilanes will make it possible to advance in solving the problem of ceramic composite materials with long-term resistance at temperatures above 1,500 ℃ in oxidizing environments.展开更多

The fish balls were observed to be almost in temperature at -28℃ for air-blast freezer, at -100 ℃ in the liquid nitrogen and the standard house freezing were done at -18℃. The air-blast had the freezing rate of 11.82-20.84 cm h1 while those frozen by liquid nitrogen had the freezing rate of 13.36-22.38 cm/h and standard house freezer held lower freezing rate (7. ! 5-8.02 cm hl). Texture profile analysis results showed that ubi badak's flour gel was harder, sticky, gummy and chewy than that of wheat and banana's flour gels. The proximate analysis revealed that wheat flour had higher protein and moisture content compared to banana and ubi badak flours.展开更多

The research was conducted in a split block experimental design with twelve treatments and four replications, and a local wheat variety (Shiraz) was planted in this study. Main plots were tillage methods including: (1) primary tillage using moldboard plow without moldboard; (2) primary tillage with disk harrow; and (3) primary tillage with chisel plow. Subplots were grain drill types including: (1) planting with Taka grain drill without furrower; (2) planting with Taka grain drill having furrower; (3) planting with Hamadan Machine Barzegar grain drill having furrower and runner opener; 4) planting with grain drill having ripple opener. Parameters including mean weight diameter of clods (MWD), soil bulk density, uniformity of seed planting depth, seed distribution uniformity, seed emergence, crop yield, and crop yield components were measured. SAS software was used to analyze the collected data and the method of benefit to cost ratio was used to compare the treatments from the economic point of view. Results indicated that tillage method had no significant effect (P = 0.05) on the measured parameters. Plant per unit area, seed emergence, uniformity of seed planting depth, and MWD were significantly affected by the grain drill type (P 〈 0.05) while, the type of grain drill had no significant effect on the rest of measured parameters. Taka grain drill without furrower had the highest uniformity of planting depth and proper soil MWD, and grain drill with ripple opener had the highest seed emergence and plant per unit area. Interaction between tillage methods and grain drill types affected the soil MWD, seed emergence, and crop yield (P 〈 0.05) in such a way that the combination of primary tillage with disk harrow and planting with grain drill having ripple opener provided the highest crop yield.展开更多

The approach can be considered as a modification and extension of the solutions. The influences of friction angle, anisotropy factor, nonhomogeneous factor, slope angle, ratio of width to depth, and load on the slope crest were investigated. The results show that solutions are suitable to deal with the purely cohesive soils and frictional/cohesive soils, isotropic and anisotropic, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous, loaded and unloaded cases.展开更多

However, in our previous work, when 0.5 mL of MoVNbTe catalyst prepared using slurry method was tested in the propane ammoxidation to ACN, it only shows 1% conversion of propane with about 55% selectivity to CAN, thus giving only 0.6% yields to ACN. The poor catalyst activity is attributed to insufficient formation of crystalline phases essential for the propane activation process. In an attempt to improve the physicochemical properties of this catalyst, several preparation methods have been used, namely hydrothermal, reflux, changing the solvent and changing the calcinations temperature. The modified catalysts have been characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and N2 physisorption (BET). The MoVNbTe catalyst prepared by hydrothermal method shows a remarkable improvement in the formation of crystalline phases.展开更多

Visible and near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR-DRS) provides a rapid and inexpensive tool to predict various soil properties simultaneously. This study evaluated the suitability of VNIR-DRS for predicting soil properties, including organic matter (OM), pH, and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Fe), using a total of 254 samples collected in soil profiles near a large copper smelter in China. Partial least square regression (PLSR) with cross-validation was used to relate soil property data to the reflectance spectral data by applying different preprocessing strategies. The performance of VNIR-DRS calibration models was evaluated using the coefficient of determination in cross-validation (R^2cv) and the ratio of standard deviation to the root mean standard error of cross-validation (SD/RMSEcv). The models provided fairly accurate predictions for OM and Fe (R2v 〉 0.80, SD/RMSEcv 〉 2.00), less accurate but acceptable for screening purposes for pH, Cu, Pb, and Cd (0.50 〈 Rcv 〈 0.80, 1.40 〈 SD/RMSEcv 〈 2.00), and poor accuracy for Zn (R2v 〈 0.50, SD/RMSEcv 〈 1.40). Because soil properties in conta- minated areas generally show large variation, a comparative large number of calibrating samples, which are variable enough and uniformly distributed, are necessary to create more accurate and robust VNIR-DRS calibration models. This study indicated that VNIR-DRS technique combined with continuously enriched soil spectral library could be a nondestructive alternative for soil environment monitoring.展开更多

文摘Drying is an important unit operation in processing of biological resources. The drying process may influence the product properties and quality, which may shrink, break or undergo rheological, physical and biochemical changes. The important parameters responsible for such changes are drying conditions, type of drying technology and residence drying time.

The stabilities S of complexes follow S(2)〉S(3)〉S(4) and S(3),.~S(6)〉S(5), indicating that 6 is stable and may be synthesized. The complexes with thiocyanate are more stable than that with chloride in Fe(CO)3(EtPhPpy)2CdX2. The strength I of Fe-M interactions follows I(2)≈I(3)〈I(4). The Fe-Cd interactions of 3 and 6, which contain thiocyanate, are stronger than that of 5 with chloride. The charge-transfer, which enhances with the increasing of Fe-M interaction strength, comes from Et, Ph, py, CO groups towards P, Fe, and M atoms. Because the delocalization of thiocyanate disperses the charge of M2+, the charge-transfer of the complexes with thiocyanate is stronger than that with chloride. There is a a-bond between Fe and Hg atoms in 4. However, in binuclear complexes except 4, the Fe-M interactions act as nFe→nM, σP-Fe→nM and σC-Fe→nM delocalization, and the N-M interactions mainly act as nN→nM delocalization. In binuclear complexes, due to the Fe→M interactions, the strong σFe--C→σ*Fe--p or σFe-Hg→σ*Fe--I2 delocalization and the charge-transfer, the electron density on P nucleus is increased, and thus upfield 31p chemical shifts are caused (compared with mononuclear complex 1).

文摘The objective was to investigate the major effect of freezing rate and freezing methods on physical properties of fish balls made with various flour contents. The fish balls were observed to be almost in temperature at -28℃ for air-blast freezer, at -100 ℃ in the liquid nitrogen and the standard house freezing were done at -18℃. The air-blast had the freezing rate of 11.82-20.84 cm h1 while those frozen by liquid nitrogen had the freezing rate of 13.36-22.38 cm/h and standard house freezer held lower freezing rate (7. ! 5-8.02 cm hl). Texture profile analysis results showed that ubi badak's flour gel was harder, sticky, gummy and chewy than that of wheat and banana's flour gels. The proximate analysis revealed that wheat flour had higher protein and moisture content compared to banana and ubi badak flours.
文摘The effect of conservation tillage methods and seeding machines on the soil physical properties, performance of grain drill, wheat yield, and wheat yield components was evaluated. The research was conducted in a split block experimental design with twelve treatments and four replications, and a local wheat variety (Shiraz) was planted in this study. Main plots were tillage methods including: (1) primary tillage using moldboard plow without moldboard; (2) primary tillage with disk harrow; and (3) primary tillage with chisel plow. Subplots were grain drill types including: (1) planting with Taka grain drill without furrower; (2) planting with Taka grain drill having furrower; (3) planting with Hamadan Machine Barzegar grain drill having furrower and runner opener; 4) planting with grain drill having ripple opener. Parameters including mean weight diameter of clods (MWD), soil bulk density, uniformity of seed planting depth, seed distribution uniformity, seed emergence, crop yield, and crop yield components were measured. SAS software was used to analyze the collected data and the method of benefit to cost ratio was used to compare the treatments from the economic point of view. Results indicated that tillage method had no significant effect (P = 0.05) on the measured parameters. Plant per unit area, seed emergence, uniformity of seed planting depth, and MWD were significantly affected by the grain drill type (P 〈 0.05) while, the type of grain drill had no significant effect on the rest of measured parameters. Taka grain drill without furrower had the highest uniformity of planting depth and proper soil MWD, and grain drill with ripple opener had the highest seed emergence and plant per unit area. Interaction between tillage methods and grain drill types affected the soil MWD, seed emergence, and crop yield (P 〈 0.05) in such a way that the combination of primary tillage with disk harrow and planting with grain drill having ripple opener provided the highest crop yield.

文摘A method of three-dimensional loaded slope stability for anisotropic and nonhomogeneous slopes was presented based on the upper-bound theorem of the limit analysis approach. The approach can be considered as a modification and extension of the solutions. The influences of friction angle, anisotropy factor, nonhomogeneous factor, slope angle, ratio of width to depth, and load on the slope crest were investigated. The results show that solutions are suitable to deal with the purely cohesive soils and frictional/cohesive soils, isotropic and anisotropic, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous, loaded and unloaded cases.

文摘In this paper, we discuss a type of chaotic system with delays. We study the equilibrium points and the existence of heteroclinic orbit of the system. Heteroclinic orbit existence theorem is proposed and proved by applying the undetermined coefficient method, which shows the complex dynamical properties of this system.
文摘MoVNbTe catalyst has been found to be the most active and selective catalyst in the ammoxidation of propane to ACN, the selective oxidation of propane to acrylic acid and in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene. However, in our previous work, when 0.5 mL of MoVNbTe catalyst prepared using slurry method was tested in the propane ammoxidation to ACN, it only shows 1% conversion of propane with about 55% selectivity to CAN, thus giving only 0.6% yields to ACN. The poor catalyst activity is attributed to insufficient formation of crystalline phases essential for the propane activation process. In an attempt to improve the physicochemical properties of this catalyst, several preparation methods have been used, namely hydrothermal, reflux, changing the solvent and changing the calcinations temperature. The modified catalysts have been characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and N2 physisorption (BET). The MoVNbTe catalyst prepared by hydrothermal method shows a remarkable improvement in the formation of crystalline phases.

文摘Spatial and temporal monitoring of soil properties in smelting regions requires collection of a large number of sam- ples followed by laboratory cumbersome and time-consuming measurements. Visible and near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR-DRS) provides a rapid and inexpensive tool to predict various soil properties simultaneously. This study evaluated the suitability of VNIR-DRS for predicting soil properties, including organic matter (OM), pH, and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Fe), using a total of 254 samples collected in soil profiles near a large copper smelter in China. Partial least square regression (PLSR) with cross-validation was used to relate soil property data to the reflectance spectral data by applying different preprocessing strategies. The performance of VNIR-DRS calibration models was evaluated using the coefficient of determination in cross-validation (R^2cv) and the ratio of standard deviation to the root mean standard error of cross-validation (SD/RMSEcv). The models provided fairly accurate predictions for OM and Fe (R2v 〉 0.80, SD/RMSEcv 〉 2.00), less accurate but acceptable for screening purposes for pH, Cu, Pb, and Cd (0.50 〈 Rcv 〈 0.80, 1.40 〈 SD/RMSEcv 〈 2.00), and poor accuracy for Zn (R2v 〈 0.50, SD/RMSEcv 〈 1.40). Because soil properties in conta- minated areas generally show large variation, a comparative large number of calibrating samples, which are variable enough and uniformly distributed, are necessary to create more accurate and robust VNIR-DRS calibration models. This study indicated that VNIR-DRS technique combined with continuously enriched soil spectral library could be a nondestructive alternative for soil environment monitoring.
