消除管尾三角的一种新方法

从原理、结构、使用等方面详细介绍了消除管尾三角的新方法，指出新方法的成功主要在于设置在支撑顶头和顶杆的支挡装置上的快速推进控制系统。当轧制临近管尾时，系统的压力传感器便发出信号，启动液压系统的换向阀，同时快推油缸快速向前推动，迅速穿透管坯，改变顶头相对于轧辊的位置，增大D／S值，从而消除管尾三角。工业性试验表明，这是一种简单而有效的消除管尾三角的方法。

热轧钢管尾部内折产生的原因及控制措施

热轧无缝钢管的管尾内折缺陷严重影响了产品合格率和成材率指标。天津钢管公司采用460PQF连轧管机组生产无缝钢管所产生的管尾内折缺陷主要出现在294孔型系列,其产生的主要原因与穿孔机变形区的椭圆度有关,也与导卫装置的稳定性和穿孔参数的调整有关。分析了管尾内折的成因,通过采用优化设计穿孔顶头、改造导卫锁紧装置、动态调整轧制参数等方法有效地消除了管尾内折缺陷,460机组的生产指标得到大幅度提高。

涂敷钢管尾端反吹气加压装置设计与实现

钢管涂敷是管类生产中的一个重要的生产工序。传统工作方式为人工手持压缩气管尾随钢管一起缓慢移动并不断地对管内吹风,这种方式效率低,工作强度较大,最重要的是存在较大的安全隐患。管尾反吹气加压装置,采用电磁自动控制,有效地保证了生产中钢管涂敷质量,提高了生产效率。

葡萄害虫—蓟马

缨翅目昆虫种类很多,通称为蓟马,一般成虫体长只有1—2毫米(也有个别更短或更长者)。仔细用肉眼观察才能见到。因此往往容易被人们所忽视。蓟马在我国葡萄产区一直有着广泛的分布,由于造成的损害不太严重,未引起人们注意,近年来对葡萄的为害有日益增长之势,据1989年在辽宁省盖县葡萄集中产区13个乡镇的调查。

Effect of fin attachment on thermal stress reduction of exhaust manifold of an off road diesel engine

The effect of fin attachment on the thermal stress reduction of exhaust manifold of an off road diesel engine(Komatsu HD325-6) was investigated.For doing this,coupled thermo-fluid-solid analysis of exhaust manifold of the off road diesel engine was carried out.The thermal analysis,including thermal flow,thermal stress,and the thermal deformation of the manifold was investigated.The flow inside the manifold was simulated and then its properties including velocity,pressure,and temperature were obtained.The flow properties were transferred to the solid model and then the thermal stresses and the thermal deformations of the manifold under different operating conditions were calculated.Finally,based on the predicted thermal stresses and thermal deformations of the manifold body shell,two fin types as well as body shell thickness increase were applied in the critical induced thermal stress area of the manifold to reduce the thermal stress and thermal deformation.The results of the above modifications show that the combined modifications,i.e.the thickness increase and the fin attachment,decrease the thermal stresses by up to 28% and the contribution of the fin attachment in this reduction is much higher compared to the shell thickness increase.

Comparison of mechanical and column flotation performances on recovery of phosphate slimes in presence of nano-microbubbles

Fine particle flotation has been one of the main problems in many mineral processing plants.The bubble particle collision rate is very low for fine particles,which reduces flotation efficiency.Also,the existence of slimes is,generally,detrimental to the flotation process,affecting the selectivity and the quality of the concentrates.Besides,it causes an increase in reagents consumption.Hence,in most of processing plants,some of these particles are transmitted to the tailing ponds to reduce the effects of these problems and increase the selectivity of the process.Esfordi phosphate plant in Iran loses more than 30%of its capacity as particles with d 80 finer than 30μm.These fine particles with 15.9%P_(2)O_(5)content are transferred to tailing dam.Processing of fine particles is very important for phosphate industry from economic and environmental aspects.This study addressed the processing of fine tailings(slimes)from a phosphate ore concentrator via flotation,despite the traditional view that ultrafine particles do not float.Phosphate flotation performances in the presence and absence of nanobubbles(NBs)in both mechanical and column cells were compared according to the metallurgical results of the process.NBs(generated by hydrodynamic cavitation)have interesting and exclusive properties such as high stability,durability and high surface area per volume,leading to increase of their utilization in mining-metallurgy and environmental areas.The results of this study revealed that,in the absence of NBs,a concentrate containing 26.9%P_(2)O_(5)with a recovery of 29.13%was obtained using mechanical cells in comparison to 31.6%P_(2)O_(5)with a recovery of 32.74%obtained using column flotation.In the presence of NBs,the recoveries of the concentrate of the mechanical and column flotation increased to 40.49%and 41.26%with 28.47%and 30.43%P_(2)O_(5)contents,respectively.Comparative study showed that the column flotation was almost more efficient for processing the phosphate ore in the presence of the NBs,and had thicker froth layer compared to the mechanical flotation.

Efficiency and therapeutic effect of modified pigtail probe in anastomosing lacerated lacrimal canaliculus

Objective： To investigate the necessity of modification to the traditional pigtail probe and evaluate its efficiency and therapeutic effect in searching the nasal cut ends and anastomosing the lacerated lacrimal canaliculus. Methods： Eighty-seven patients （including 87 eyes） suffering from canalicular laceration were randomized into two groups： 41 patients treated with traditional pigtail probes （Group A） and 46 with modified pigtail probes （Group B）. During the reconstruction of the lacerated canaliculi, the traditional pigtail probe and the modified pigtail probe were used respectively to seek for the nasal cut ends of lacerated lacrimal canaliculi. Peripherally inserted central catheter （PICCTM） silicone tube with diameter of 0.95 mm was intubated as a stent for 4-6 months. The surgical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed after stent removal. Results： In Group B, the primary success rate of searching the nasal cut ends of lacerated lacrimal canaliculi was 93.48% （43/46） and the final success rate was 97.83% （45/46）. No false passage formed in Group B. Statistical sig- nificance was found between Group A and Group B as the primary success rates of searching the nasal cut ends （ x^2 = 10.522, P〈0.01） and the false passage forming rates were concerned （ x^2=4.704, P〈0.05）, whereas no significance was found between the two groups as the final success rates were concerned （ x^2=0.007, P〉0.05）. The mean time of searching the nasal cut ends of lacerated lacrimal canaliculi in Group B was （5.02±2.73） minutes and the mean time of operation was （33.90±4.84） minutes, and both were significantly shorter than those of Group A （t1=9.779, t2=10.700, P〈0.01）. The cure rate of Group B was 95.65%, though higher than that of Group A, no statistical significance was found （Z=-1.007, P〉0.05）. Totally, 2 patients （2.30%） were found to be absent of common canaliculus and underwent bicanalicular nasal intubation in the two groups. Conclusions： Pigtail probes are efficient and convenient apparatus for searching the nasal cut ends of the lacerated lacrimal canaliculi in the reconstruction of canalicular laceration. Necessary or proper modifications to the pigtail probes can minimize the risk of iatrogenic damages or complications and enhance the efficiency and therapeutic effect of canalicular repair.

Mechanism of the Reversal Effect of Acupuncture on the Fall of Blood Pressure Induced by Angiotensin-(1-7)in the Caudal Ventrolateral Medulla of Rats

Objective：To investigate the mechanism of the reversal effect of acupuncture on the fall of blood pressure induced by angiotensin （1-7）[Ang-（1 7）] in the caudal ventrolateral medulla （CVLM） of rats. Methods： Ang-（1-7） and its selective receptor antagonist （DAla7）, Ang（1-7） and Ang（779） were microinjected into the CVLM respectively to induce the change of blood pressure, during which, the concentrations of amino acid neurotransmitters were detected by means of microdialysis and high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）combined with fluorescent detector, on the other hand, the effects of electro-acupuncture （EA） on the level of blood pressure and the concentrations of amino acid neurotransmitters were also observed. Results： Unilateral microinjection of Ang（1 7） into the CVLM could decrease the blood pressure （BP）, which was accompanied by an increase in the release of Glu and a decrease in the release of Tau in the same site; Whereas microinjection of Ang-779 into the CVLM could elevate BP, which was accompanied by a decrease in the release of Glu and an increase in the release of Tau; EA at acupoint Zusanli （ST 36） for 20 min could inhibit the fall of blood pressure induced by microinjection of Ang-（1-7） into the CVLM and the elevation of blood pressure induced by microinjection of Ang-779 into the CVLM, and in the meantime, it could inhibit the changes of the release of Glu and Tau induced by microinjection of Ang-（1-7） and Ang-779 into the CVLM. Conclusion： The reversal effect of EA on the fall or elevation of blood pressure induced by microinjection of Ang-（1-7） or Ang-779 into the CVLM might be related to the changes of Glu and Tau release.

Assessment of food supplementation and surveillance as techniques to reduce damage caused by black capuchin monkeys Sapajus nigritus to forest plantations

Black capuchin monkeys Sapajus nigritus are among several mammalian species that damage forest plantations, pri- marily plantations of pine trees （Pinus spp.） in South Brazil. Management practices to reduce these damages include supplemen- tary food offerings and plantation surveillance. To assess the efficiency of these techniques, four treatments were evaluated： feeding （F, with supplementary bananas and maize）, surveillance （S, in situ, wherein men patrolled the plantations, deterring the monkeys）, feeding ＋ surveillance （FS） and control （no procedures） （C）. The efficiency assessment of each treatment involved the number of recorded primate sightings in the treatments with the presence of guards （S and FS） and a damage inventory of the outskirts of the experimental points immediately before and after the experiment. These data were complemented by a simulta- neous study of the availability of fruit, the primary item in the diet of this primate species, in the remnant native forest in the study area. Most sightings of S. nigritus occurred early in the morning, and in general, sightings were inversely proportional to the availability of native fruits. This trend was most evident in treatment FS, most likely due to the presence of food. Treatments F and FS exhibited higher percentages of damage, indicating that these are inefficient management techniques. Treatment S exhi- bited the lowest damage rate, but at a high cost, making this technique difficult to apply over large expanses. The development of other management techniques, such as environmental enrichment and the use of deterrents, is recommended to minimize the damage caused by capuchins in forest plantations [Current Zoology 60 （5）： 581-590, 2014].
