Selective mining without drilling and blasting, high production and small size products are some of the prominent attractive features obtained with these moving marvels. This machine can be used with good efficiency in soft to medium hard rock (100-120 MPa). This paper synthesizes the different applications, equipment models, features offered, operating methods, cutting performance assessment models as well as typical production performance of surface miner in coal and limestone mines of India. Engine hour metre reading, diesel and pick consumptions are linearly influenced by production. The emphasis for future research is also brought out.展开更多

Based on a self-made questionnaire and the online record of the revision process, this study describes the English learners' revision behaviors and process in their second semester of a two-year writing course. The analysis indicates that the English learners hold a positive attitude towards revision and but passive in resorting to outside sources for help. The source of the feedback has a great influence on their motivation of revision. On the other hand, although they use all types of revision operations, they concentrate on surface changes and simple operations.展开更多

The size of such systems can range from the microelectronic scale to large underground structures. Stimulation can occur from unwanted electromagnetic signals entering the buried system, and for assessing the operating state of a buried system that is not usually physically accessible. In both cases detecting damage or status can be accomplished by examining the time dependence of the resultant surface temperature. This study shows how to determine surface temperature for a hypothetical thermal-plus-systems using a combination of Fourier-space and Laplace-time transform techniques. The hypothetical model can be generalized from scaling the relevant relationships.展开更多

The comparative analysis of the characteristics of attenuation and delay proves that the operation of radiant cooling system increases the degree of temperature attenuation of the room and reduces the inner surface temperature of the wall significantly, but has little effect on the attenuation coefficient and delay time of wall heat transfer. The simulation results also show that the inner surface temperature of the walls in the radiant cooling room is much lower than that in non-cooling room in the day with the maximum cooling load, which reduces the indoor operation temperature largely, and improves the thermal comfort. Finally, according to the analysis of indoor temperature of the rooms with different operation schedules of cooling system, it can be derived that the indoor mean temperature changes with the working time of radiant cooling system, and the operation schedule can be adjusted in practice according to the actual indoor temperature to achieve the integration of energy efficiency and thermal comfort.展开更多

Let h be a positive smooth function on ∑. Define a functional (Jα,β(u)=1/2∫∑(| gu|2)dvg-βlog∫heudvg)on a function spaceH={u∈W1,2(∈):∫∑UDVG=0}.Ifα〈λ1(∑)and Jα,8π has no minimizer on H, then we calculate the infimum of Jα,8π on H by using the method of blow-up analysis. As a consequence, we give a sufficient condition under which a Kazdan-Warner equation has a solution. If α≥ λ1(E), then infu∈Hα,8π(u)=-∞.Ifβ〉8π ,then for any α ∈ R, there holds infu∈HJα,8π(u)=-∞. Moreover, we consider the same problem in the case that α is large, where higher order eigenvalues are involved.展开更多

In order to implement the quantum logic operations between the spins, we propose here a configuration, similarly to the cooled ions in a trap, to couple the distant electrons via manipulating their center of mass (CM) vibrations. First, we show that the electrons could be confined in a common harmonic oscillator potential by using an electrostatic field. Then, with a single current pulse (applied on the micro-electrode below the liquid helium) the distant electronic spins can be coupled simultaneously to the CM mode. Finally, by adiabatically eliminating the CM mode, effective interaction between the distant spins is induced for implementing the desired quantum computing.展开更多

In this paper, we prove that the region crossing change on a 2-component link diagram is an unknotting operation if and only if the linking number of the diagram is even. Besides, we define an incidence matrix of a link diagram via its signed planar graph and its dual graph. By studying the relation between region crossing change and incidence matrix, we prove that a signed planar graph represents an n-component link diagram if and only if the rank of the associated incidence matrix equals c n + 1, where c denotes the size of the graph.展开更多

A sudden change in the topological invariant at the boundaw of a topological nontrivial system leads to the formation of exotic surface states that are dramatically different from its bulk. In recent years, significant advancements in the exploration of the physical properties of these topological systems and regarding device research related to spintronics and quantum computation have been made. Here, we review the progress of the characterization and manipulation of topological phases from the electron transport perspective and also the intriguing chiral/Majorana states that stem from them. We then discuss the future directions of research into these topological states and their potential applications.展开更多

Surfactants such as Tween-80 and Span-20 were added in the process of preparing the catalyst in order to improve the thermal stability and catalytic performance of Pd-only TWC. The fresh and aged catalysts at 1000 ℃ for 4 h were characterized by low-temperature N2 adsorption, XRD, XPS, and H2-TPR techniques. The results show that the presence of surfactants in the synthesis slurry could influence the physicochemical properties of the final Pd-only TWC. The FTS catalyst prepared with the mixed surfactant of Tween-80 and Span-20 exhibited excellent three-way catalytic performance. After being aged at 1000℃ for 4 h, the catalytic performances of Pd-only TWCs slightly decreased, but the FTS catalyst still demonstrated higher catalytic performance and better thermal stability compared with the Pd-only catalysts prepared with single surfactant or without any surfactant. And the FTS catalyst has a wider 2 value (operation window) than other catalysts, even after being aged at 1000℃.展开更多
