A new insight into LPSO phase transformation and mechanical properties uniformity of large-scale Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy prepared by multi-pass friction stir processing

A large-scale fine-grained Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy plate with high strength and ductility was successfully prepared by multi-pass friction stir processing(MFSP)technology in this work.The structure of grains and long period stacking ordered(LPSO)phase were characterized,and the mechanical properties uniformity was investigated.Moreover,a quantitative relationship between the microstructure and tensile yield strength was established.The results showed that the grains in the processed zone(PZ)and interfacial zone(IZ)were refined from 50μm to 3μm and 4μm,respectively,and numerous original LPSO phases were broken.In IZ,some block-shaped 18R LPSO phases were transformed into needle-like 14H LPSO phases due to stacking faults and the short-range diffusion of solute atoms.The severe shear deformation in the form of kinetic energy caused profuse stacking fault to be generated and move rapidly,greatly increasing the transformation rate of LPSO phase.After MFSP,the ultimate tensile strength,yield strength and elongation to failure of the large-scale plate were 367 MPa,305 MPa and 18.0% respectively.Grain refinement and LPSO phase strengthening were the major strengthening mechanisms for the MFSP sample.In particularly,the strength of IZ was comparable to that of PZ because the strength contribution of the 14H LPSO phase offsets the lack of grain refinement strengthening in IZ.This result opposes the widely accepted notion that IZ is a weak region in MFSP-prepared large-scale fine-grained plate.

Molecular investigation into the transformation of recalcitrant dissolved organic sulfur in refinery sour water during stripping process

Refinery sour water primarily originates from the tops of towers in various units and coker condensate,and cannot be discharged directly to a wastewater treatment plant due to high levels of chemical oxygen demand(COD)and organic sulfur contents.Even after the recovery of H_(2)S from the sour water by the stripping process,the effluent still contains a high concentration of dissolved organic sulfur(DOS),which can have a huge bad influence.While chemical composition of dissolved organic matter(DOM)in refinery wastewater has been extensively studied,the investigation of recalcitrant DOS from sour waters remains unclear.In the present study,chemical composition of sour water DOMs(especially DOS)was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy(excitation-emission matrix,EEM)and mass spectrometry,including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)and high-resolution Orbitrap MS.The GC-MS and EEM results showed that volatile and low-aromaticity compounds were effectively removed during the stripping process,while compounds with high hydrophilicity and humification degree were found to be more recalcitrant.The Orbitrap MS results showed that weak-polar oxygenated sulfur compounds were easier to be removed than oxygenated compounds.However,the effluent still contained significant amounts of sulfur-containing compounds with multiple sulfur atoms,particularly in the form of highly unsaturated and aromatic compounds.The Orbitrap MS/MS results of CHOS-containing compounds from the effluent indicate that the sulfur atoms may exist as sulfonates,disulfide bonds,thioethers.Understanding the composition and structure of sour water DOS is crucial for the development of effective treatment processes that can target polysulfide compounds and minimize their impact on the environment.

Phosphorus speciation,transformation and benthic processes with implications for environmental impacts in the aquaculture area of Rushan Bay

Phosphorus(P)is an essential nutrient for many organisms in the ocean,which plays a central role in the stability of ecosystems and the evolution of the environment.The distribution,occurrence and source-sink process of P in offshore waters are highly influenced by mariculture activities.P transformation in water-sediment system is the key process in P cycling,however,the mechanism is poorly documented in the coastal sea which is influenced by human activities.Based on the comprehensive surveys in the adjacent waters outside Rushan Bay in May,July and August 2014 and February 2015,the form and transformation of P in the suspended particulate matter(SPM)and surface sediment were analyzed.The results showed that contents of total P,authigenic P and organic P of SPM increased with the increase in distance from the shoreline off Rushan Bay,and the detrital-P decreased.The partition coefficient of P between water and SPM was related to the chemical activity of different forms of P,and a higher reactivity of inorganic P associated with SPM was observed.Hypoxia induced by mariculture changes the distribution and morphological composition of P in SPM and sediment in this typical aquaculture area,which can result in a conversion of sink to source of P in the sediment,thereby having a significant impact on the regional nutrient budget and associated with eutrophication.

Application of fast wavelet transformation in signal processing of MEMS gyroscope

Decomposition and reconstruction of Mallat fast wavelet transformation （WT） is described. A fast algorithm, which can greatly decrease the processing burden and can be very easy for hardware implementation in real-time, is analyzed. The algorithm will no longer have the processing of decimation and interpolation of usual WT. The formulae of the decomposition and the reconstruction are given. Simulation results of the MEMS （micro-electro mechanical systems） gyroscope drift signal show that the algorithm spends much less processing time to finish the de-noising process than the usual WT. And the de-noising effect is the same. The fast algorithm has been implemented in a TMS320C6713 digital signal processor. The standard variance of the gyroscope static drift signal decreases from 78. 435 5 （°）/h to 36. 763 5 （°）/h. It takes 0. 014 ms to process all input data and can meet the real-time analysis of signal.

Unscented Transformation Based Robust Kalman Filter and Its Applications in Fermentation Process

State estimation is the precondition and foundation of a bioprocess monitoring and optimal control. However,there are many difficulties in dealing with a non-linear system,such as the instability of process, un-modeled dynamics,parameter sensitivity,etc.This paper discusses the principles and characteristics of three different approaches,extended Kalman filters,strong tracking filters and unscented transformation based Kalman filters.By introducing the unscented transformation method and a sub-optimal fading factor to correct the prediction error covariance,an improved Kalman filter,unscented transformation based robust Kalman filter,is proposed. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the strong tracking filter and unscented transformation based Kalman filter and illustrated in a typical case study for glutathione fermentation process.The results show that the proposed algorithm presents better accuracy and stability on the state estimation in numerical calculations.

Recent developments in selective laser processes for wearable devices

Recently,the increasing interest in wearable technology for personal healthcare and smart virtual/augmented reality applications has led to the development of facile fabrication methods.Lasers have long been used to develop original solutions to such challenging technological problems due to their remote,sterile,rapid,and site-selective processing of materials.In this review,recent developments in relevant laser processes are summarized under two separate categories.First,transformative approaches,such as for laser-induced graphene,are introduced.In addition to design optimization and the alteration of a native substrate,the latest advances under a transformative approach now enable more complex material compositions and multilayer device configurations through the simultaneous transformation of heterogeneous precursors,or the sequential addition of functional layers coupled with other electronic elements.In addition,the more conventional laser techniques,such as ablation,sintering,and synthesis,can still be used to enhance the functionality of an entire system through the expansion of applicable materials and the adoption of new mechanisms.Later,various wearable device components developed through the corresponding laser processes are discussed,with an emphasis on chemical/physical sensors and energy devices.In addition,special attention is given to applications that use multiple laser sources or processes,which lay the foundation for the all-laser fabrication of wearable devices.

PCA weight and Johnson transformation based alarm threshold optimization in chemical processes

To alleviate the heavy load of massive alarm on operators, alarm threshold in chemical processes was optimized with principal component analysis(PCA) weight and Johnson transformation in this paper. First, few variables that have high PCA weight factors are chosen as key variables. Given a total alarm frequency to these variables initially, the allowed alarm number for each variable is determined according to their sampling time and weight factors. Their alarm threshold and then control limit percentage are determined successively. The control limit percentage of non-key variables is determined with 3σ method alternatively. Second, raw data are transformed into normal distribution data with Johnson function for all variables before updating their alarm thresholds via inverse transformation of obtained control limit percentage. Alarm thresholds are optimized by iterating this process until the calculated alarm frequency reaches standard level(normally one alarm per minute). Finally,variables and their alarm thresholds are visualized in parallel coordinate to depict their variation trends concisely and clearly. Case studies on a simulated industrial atmospheric-vacuum crude distillation demonstrate that the proposed alarm threshold optimization strategy can effectively reduce false alarm rate in chemical processes.

Transformer模型在自然语言处理、计算机视觉等众多领域得到了广泛应用,并且有着突出的表现.在Transformer的推理应用中用户的数据会被泄露给模型提供方.随着数据隐私问题愈发得到公众的关注,上述数据泄露问题引发了学者们对Transformer安全推理的研究,使用安全多方计算(secure multi-party computation,MPC)实现Transformer模型的安全推理是当前的一个研究热点.由于Transformer模型中存在大量非线性函数,因此使用MPC技术实现Transformer安全推理会造成巨大的计算和通信开销.针对Transformer安全推理过程中开销较大的Softmax注意力机制,提出了2种MPC友好的注意力机制Softmax freeDiv Attention和2Quad freeDiv Attention.通过将Transformer模型中的Softmax注意力机制替换为新的MPC友好的注意力机制,同时结合激活函数GeLU的替换以及知识蒸馏技术,提出了一个MPC友好的Transformer转换框架,通过将Transformer模型转化为MPC友好的Transformer模型,提高Transformer安全推理的效率.在局域网环境下使用安全处理器(secure processing unit,SPU)提供的隐私计算协议,基于所提出的MPC友好的Transformer转换框架,在SST-2上使用Bert-Base进行安全推理.测试结果表明,在保持推理准确率与无近似模型一致的情况下,安全推理计算效率提高2.26倍.

Mechanism of Phase Transformation and Formation of Barium Hexafer rite Doped with Rare-Earths in Sol-Gel Process

The phase-transformation in sol-gel preparation of barium hexaferrite and the formation of barium hexaferrite doped with La 3+ were studied by chemical p hase analysis, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrometry analysis. The expe rimental results show that phase transformation reactions of FeCO 3, Fe 2O 3 and BaFe 2O 4, barium hexaferrite and γ-Fe 2O 3 take place in the heat tr eatment of gel. While the doping lanthanide ion replace barium ion, an equivalen t quantity of Fe 3+ are reduced to Fe 2+ to maintain the charge equili brium.

Role of reactive oxygen species in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells

AIM:To investigate the role of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in epithelial–mesenchymal transition(EMT)and apoptosis of human lens epithelial cells(HLECs).METHODS:Flow cytometry was used to assess ROS production after transforming growth factorβ2(TGF-β2)induction.Apoptosis of HLECs after H_(2)O_(2) and TGF-β2 interference with or without ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine(NAC)were assessed by flow cytometry.The corresponding protein expression levels of the EMT markerα-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),the extracellular matrix(ECM),marker fibronectin(Fn),and apoptosis-associated proteins were detected by using Western blotting in the presence of an ROS scavenger(NAC).Wound-healing and Transwell assays were used to assess the migration capability of HLECs.RESULTS:TGF-β2 stimulates ROS production within 8h in HLECs.Additionally,TGF-β2 induced HLECs cell apoptosis,EMT/ECM synthesis protein markers expression,and pro-apoptotic proteins production;nonetheless,NAC treatment prevented these responses.Similarly,TGF-β2 promoted HLECs cell migration,whereas NAC inhibited cell migration.We further determined that although ROS initiated apoptosis,it only induced the accumulation of the EMT markerα-SMA protein,but not COL-1 or Fn.CONCLUSION:ROS contribute to TGF-β2-induced EMT/ECM synthesis and cell apoptosis of HLECs;however,ROS alone are not sufficient for EMT/ECM synthesis.

STATE TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES FOR FREE-FLOATING THREE-LINK PLANAR ROBOTS

The transformation process of an m-DOF free-floating robot from one staticstate to a different static state has m degrees of freedom. The proposed approach of thesetransformations utilizes a series of single-DOF transformation processes as an alternative to them-DOF transformation process. Two static state transformation processes are studied in detail.First, a single-DOF transformation process is established using a newly defined concept, referred toas transformation planning, and the definite integral of conservation of angular momentum. Second,the governing equation of the single-DOF transformation process is established using the dynamicequations of motion of the robot. This allows the joint torques to be computed to effect the statetransformation. Finally, an extension of the single-DOF transformation process is proposed to extendthe application of this proposed transformation methodology to create a transformation net whichallows the reconfiguration of a robot from one state to many other possible states.
