The calculation results show that the solvus line of solute Cu will markedly lower with the decrease of grain size, namely, the starting temperature of θ (Al2Cu) precipitation in a nanogranular A1-Cu film will markedly lower than that of conventional coarse grain alloy with the same Cu concentration, and the precipitation temperatures calculated are comparable with the experimental ones. The theoretical model can be simply used to calculate the starting temperature of precipitation in A1-Cu films under three states: ① films with substrate; ②films without substrate; ③ultrafine grain bulk alloy. As a result, the model is universal, moreover, can be, in principle, used to predict precipitation temperature in other systems.展开更多

In the model, three distinct aggregates grow by exchange of monomers and in parallel, birth of species A is catalyzed by species B and death of species A is catalyzed by species C. The rates for both catalysis processes are proportional to kj^v and ky respectively, where ν(ω) is a parameter reflecting the dependence of the catalysis reaction rate of birth (death) on the catalyst aggregate's size. The kinetic evolution behaviors of the three species are investigated by the rate equation approach based on the mean-field theory: The form of the aggregate size distribution of A-species αk(t) is found to be dependent crucially on the two catalysis rate kernel parameters. The results show that (i) in case of ν ≤O, the form of ak (t) mainly depends on the competition between self-exchange of species A and species-C-catalyzed death of species A; (ii) in case of ν 〉 0, the form of αk(t) mainly depends on the competition between species-B-catalyzed birth of species A and species-C-catalyzed death of species A.展开更多

Because mistakes in refraction measurements correspond to fluctuations in eye's focus, it is possible to calculate theoretical limits for the best accuracy in measurements of eye's refraction (0.25-0.3 D). Optical model for astigmatic human eye predicts possibility only 70% compensation of visual acuity by cylindrical glasses. New data and methods for digital measuring of color and gray vision were tested, too. Also ,some new results and model for periphery color and grey vision were proposed and discussed.展开更多

However for many students, it is the most demanding and is therefore a skill that needs a considerable amount of practice and training. This paper is meant to deal with listening comprehension from the viewpoint of relevance theory due to its powerful explanation for the nature of listening and its practical application of some relevance-based strategies. It is aiming to establish a strong linkage between theory and practice by illustrating how an instructional model can originate in theory and research and move toward classroom practices that are useful, understandable, and effective for teachers and for students. In the suggested relevance-based strategic model, a number of positive strategies are approached, ranging from linguistic to non-linguistic strategies, which are important in helping students become better language learners and in improving listening teaching.展开更多

To describe this discrepancy, two distinct theories have been proposed so far: existence of dark matter and modification of underlying gravitational theory. In the absence of dark matter, it is assumed that the theory of general relativity on galactic scales needs to be modified. This letter is devoted to explaining this difference in a modified teleparMIeI gravity. We show that modified teleparallel gravity favors flatness of rotation curves of spiral galaxies much in the same way as observation shows.展开更多
