Study of the radial growth response to climate factors at different tree ages is essential for predicting forest dynamics and formulating correct management policies. In this study, we analysed the growth responsiveness of Picea crassifolia to climate conditions, and evaluated its relationship to tree age at the individual tree scale, in the transitional zone between regions affected by the East Asian monsoon and winds blowing from the west (westerlies) in the Qilian Mountains. On three study sites, 150 cores were taken from 75 trees. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between the standardized tree-ring series of each core (and chronology) and climatic factors which were utilized to research the climate-growth relationships. Quadratic polynomial fitting was used to test the relationships between tree age, chronological parameters, and the radial growth response to climate. Radial growth was positively influenced by total precipitation for the previous July-September and the current May-July. Additionally, radial growth was negatively correlated with the total monthly precipitation for the current September, and the mean monthly temperature for the previous July. Trees younger than 80 years old showed a stronger response to accumulative precipitation in the previous July-September, those older than 160 years old showed a stronger response to precipitation at the end of current growing season, while those of 140-160 years old showed a weaker response to precipitation in the current May-July.

Enhanced gravity concentrator have excellent separation accuracy for the fine mineral particles. However, its internal flow characteristics are still in unclear. Therefore, numerical simulation was conducted to study the flow characteristics of concentrator. Effect of centrifugal force and fluidization water pressure on the velocity component of fluid was studied. The simulation accuracy was verified by the theoretical calculation. The turbulence intensity in the radial direction was analyzed to reveal the gradient characteristics. Results show that the three-dimensional velocity has different order of magnitude. The increase of centrifugal force significantly improves the three-dimensional velocity of fluid. However, the fluidization water pressure has little influence on the tangential velocity and axial velocity, but it can effectively improve the radial velocity. High turbulent flow energy and high turbulence dissipation rate are presented in the near wall region, which allows the light particles reentering the separation region. Meanwhile, the fluid presents stable flow pattern in the fall wall region that is conducive to the stratification process. In addition, the increase of centrifugal force increases the turbulence in the near wall region; however, fluidization pressure has no effect.

As the main solid wastes of coal-fired power plants, fly ash particles with different electrical properties are usually recycled using triboelectrostatic separator. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different plate voltages on the separation of fly ash in a rotary triboelectrostatic separator with experiments and numerical simulation. The maximum values of yield of ash products (48.30%), and decarbonisation rate (50.89%) and the minimum loss-on-ignition (6.61%) were obtained when the plate voltage was 24 kV in the separation experiments, while 55.98%, 59.46%, 5.80% were reached respectively when the plate voltage was 26 kV in the simulation. In general, experimental data were similar with numerical simulation. The turning points appeared around 25 kV due to the increasing mismatch in products, which resulted from the reinforced rebound phenomena, namely the charged particle rebound from the electrode plate with a larger reflection velocity, when the plate voltage increased from 18 to 28 kV. It was validated by the numerical simulation results.

In this study, comparative experiments were conducted on the recovery of quartz using flotation with different fluid inclusion abundances. A large number of fluid inclusions with various sizes have been found in natural quartz. Micrographs, inductively coupled plasma, electron probe microanalysis, homogenization temperature, Raman spectra, zeta potentials, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectrometer were used to characterize the fluid inclusions and quartz, as well as the adsorption tests and single mineral flotation experiments to investigate its floatability. The results demonstrated that it was more likely for quartz with higher fluid inclusion abundance to connect with Fe3+ sufficiently to achieve a high level of flotation recovery, due to the powerful collecting ability by sodium dodecyl sulphonate to Fe3+. Furthermore, the mechanism indicated that the adsorption between quartz and Fe3+ was a process of chemisorption.

The ultra-short pulse propagation in a non-uniform fiber system is investigated based on the variable coefficient coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the dispersion gain and nonlinear gain terms. By using the ansatz method and the split-step Fourier method, we get the exact solitary wave solution, with which the transmission process of the solitary wave is studied. Furthermore we obtain the stability of the solitary wave under finite initial perturbations. The interaction between two neighboring solitary waves is also studied.

Homomorphic encryption always allows the linear arithmetic operations performed over the ciphertext and then returns equaling results as if the operations are taken over the original plaintext, which is always used for data aggregation in wireless sensor networks to keep the confidentiality of the data and cut down the transmission overhead of the ciphertext. In the marine sensor networks, sensors collect the multiple data such as temperature, salinity, pressure, and chlorophyll concentration in the ocean using a single hardware unit for further statistical analysis such as computing the mean and the variance and making regression analysis. However, directly using the homomorphic encryption cannot perform well in marine sensor data forwarding since the data need to turn to satellites or vessels as relays and be forwarded in multi-hop way. The data are not expected to be decrypted until arriving the final destinations. To tackle these issues, we design a secure data forwarding protocol based on the Paillier homomorphic encryption and multi-use proxy re-encryption. We also evaluate the computational overhead in term of the delay in the transmission and operation in various test beds. The experiment results show that the additional computational overhead brought by cryptographic operations could be minor and it has the merit of providing fixed data size passing through the multi-hop transmission.

In recent years, harmful cyanobacterial blooms frequently occurred all over the world, causing great damage to ecosystems, fishery resources, and recreational facilities. Therefore, the removal of harmful cyanobacterial blooms is a crucial step for the maintenance of safe water supplies and for the safety of aquatic products. Hydrogel beads based on sodium alginate and an aqueous extract from pomegranate peel were prepared, and used for removing Microcystin aeruginosa. The removal efficiencies of hydrogel beads to M. aeruginosa and the factors affecting its removal from solutions (the ratio of material to solvent, the dosage of hydrogel beads, and the density of M. aeruginosa cells) were investigated. The optimum ratio of material to solvent, the dosage of hydrogel beads and the density of M. aeruginosa cells were 0.03 g/cm3, 100 g/dm3and less than 8.68×106 cells/cm3, respectively. When the density of M. aeruginosa cells was below 8.68×106 cells/cm3, the removal efficiency of cyanobacteria was above 99.21% at the dose of 100 g/dm3. The pomegranate peel and sodium alginate, as natural materials, were safe and innocuous, providing simple operation, low cost and high availability. Therefore, the hydrogel beads offer favorable characteristics in M. aeruginosa removal.

The traditional reliability analysis methods based on probability theory and fuzzy set theory have been widely used in engineering practice. However, these methods are unable directly measure the uncertainty of mechanism reliability with uncertain variables, i.e., subjective random and fuzzy variables. In order to address this problem, a new quantification method for the mechanism reliability based on chance theory is presented to simultaneously satisfy the duality of randomness and the subadditivity of fuzziness in the reliability problem. Considering the fact that systems usually have multilevel performance and the components have multimode failures, this paper proposes a chance theory based multi-state performance reliability model. In the proposed method, the chance measure is adopted instead of probability and possibility measures to quantify the mechanism reliability for the subjective probability or fuzzy variables. The hybrid variables are utilized to represent the random and fuzzy parameters, based on which solutions are derived to analyze the chance theory based mechanism reliability with chance distributions. Since the input parameters of the model contain fuzziness and randomness simultaneously, an algorithm based on chance measure is designed. The experimental results on the case application demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Tradycyjne metody analizy niezawodności oparte na teorii prawdopodobieństwa i teorii zbiorów rozmytych znajdują szerokie zastosowanie w praktyce inżynierskiej. Jednak metod tych nie można stosować do bezpośredniego pomiaru niepewności niezawodności przy niepewnych zmiennych, tj. subiektywnych zmiennych losowych i rozmytych. Aby zaradzić temu problemowi, przedstawiono nową metodę kwantyfikacji niezawodności opartą na teorii szansy, która jednocześnie spełnia aksjomaty dwoistości losowości oraz subaddytywności związanej z rozmytością w problemach niezawodności. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że systemy zazwyczaj charakteryzują się wielopoziomową strukturą, a uszkodzenia elementów składowych mają charakter wieloprzyczynowy, w niniejszym artykule zaproponowano model niezawodności eksploatacji systemu wielostanowego oparty na teorii szansy. W proponowanej metodzie, zamiast miar prawdopodobieństwa i możliwości, do kwantyfikacji niezawodności, w przypadku gdy dane są subiektywne zmienne losowe lub zmienne rozmyte, przyjęto miarę szansy wystąpienia zdarzenia. Do reprezentacji parametrów losowych i rozmytych wykorzystano zmienne hybrydowe, które stanowią podstawę dla wyprowadzenia rozwiązań w celu analizy niezawodności mechanizmu opartej na teorii szansy z rozkładem szans. Ponieważ parametry wejściowe modelu noszą jednocześnie znamiona rozmytości i losowości, opracowano algorytm oparty na mierze szansy. Wyniki eksperymentalne otrzymane na podstawie studium przypadku dowodzą poprawności proponowanej metody.

Dynamic compressive behaviour of basalt–polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete (BPFRC) was experimentally investigated using a 75-mm-diameter split-Hopkinson pressure bar. The results showed that the addition of basalt fibre (BF) and polypropylene fibre (PF) is effective at improving the impact-resistance behaviour of concrete. The dynamic compressive strength, critical strain, and energy absorption capacity of BPFRC increased with increasing strain rate. At strain rates of 20–140 s−1, the addition of BF and PF significantly increased the dynamic compressive strength, critical strain, and energy absorption capacity of concrete. The dynamic increase factor of BPFRC increased linearly with the decimal logarithm of strain rate. The hybrid addition of BF and PF significantly improved the strain rate effect of the dynamic compressive strength. The strengthening and toughening mechanisms of BF and PF are discussed in detail. The proposed dynamic damage constitutive model can be used to accurately describe the dynamic stress–strain relationship of BPFRC.

Cementitious composites with 0–1.5 wt.% Nano-SiO2 (NS), nano-TiO2 (NT), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon microfibers (CFs) are fabricated and tested. The enhancing effects of different fillers on the compressive strength and electrical resistivity of composites are compared, and the underlying modification mechanisms of fillers to composites are investigated by analyzing the difference in the morphology of fillers and rheology of composites. The compressive strength of composites containing 0.1% NS, 0.5% NT, 0.1% CNTs and 0.5% CFs by weight of cement presents approximately 12.5%, 20.8%, 16.8% and 21.4% higher than that of control sample, respectively. It is revealed that CFs also have improving effect on the compressive strength of composites besides flexural strength. When the composites with nano-fillers cannot be processed to ideal state, the reinforcing effect of nano-fillers is no better but even worse than that of micro-fillers. Composites with CNTs, CNFs and CFs possess good electrical conductivity. Composites with CNFs and CFs have a percolation threshold of electrical resistivity below 0.5%, while the percolation threshold of electrical resistivity of composites with CNTs is about 1%. Although CNFs do not have significant effect on compressive strength of composites, they have the best improvement to electrical resistivity.

Trephination is one of the basic operations of keratoplasty, and the biomechanical mechanism of the operation can be revealed based on three-dimensional modeling and simulation of trephine cutting cornea. Methods: Based on the analysis of the physical and biomechanical characteristics of corneal trephination, a three-dimensional numerical model of corneal trephination is built, where the cornea can be simplified to two layers structure including stroma and epithelium, and the trephine cuts the cornea under the vertical motion load and the rotational motion load. A three-dimensional failure criterion of corneal material is proposed based on the yield strength theory. On this basis, trephination simulation is carried out, and the units of corneal material are removed from the model when they meet the defined failure criterion. Results: Under the given parameters including the velocity, the angle and the angular velocity, the trephine force curves, include the linear cutting force and the rotary cutting force are obtained, and show the change of the forces with displacement during the process of trephination simulation. The maps of the equivalent stress show the destruction and deformation of the cornea. Then, the experiment of robotic trephination is carried out under the same parameters and the effectiveness of the simulation is evaluated. Conclusions: Based on mechanics theory and finite element method, the process of trephine cutting cornea has been reproduced, and the interaction mechanism is revealed, which lays the foundation for the development of real-time simulation and virtual system of the corneal surgery.

The rats were randomly divided into paraquat group, curcumin treatment group, and pirfenidone treatment group. The concentration of paraquat in rat plasma was determined by an ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method over the range of 10–2000 ng mL−1. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a BEH HILIC (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) column. The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile and 10 mm ammonium formate buffer (containing 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution pumped at a flow rate of 0.4 mL min−1. Protein precipitation with acetonitrile was used as sample preparation. Compared with the paraquat group, there is statistical toxicokinetic difference for curcumin treatment group and pirfenidone treatment group, AUC(0 − t) decreased (P < 0.05), clearance (CL) increased (P < 0.05) for curcumin or pirfenidone treatment group, and Cmax decreased (P < 0.05) for curcumin treatment group. The results showed that treatment by curcumin and pirfenidone could relieve acute paraquat poisoning in rats.

On a global basis, cash cropping is usually identified as an important enterprise undertaken by farmers to increase incomes. However, the responses of farmers to these new enterprises vary greatly. Through a case study of a Dai village in Xishuangbanna, China, this paper examines how farmers make decisions about adopting new cash crops by focusing on the farm economy and land conditions. The results show that farmers did not adopt watermelons due to poor irrigation and accessibility conditions, and then they did not adopt bananas due to a transient collapse of banana market, induced by a rumor suggesting that eating bananas causes cancer. Consequently, although these non-adopters benefited from commercial exchanges with external businessmen in terms of ecological experiments and management diversification, and leasing lowlands to external businessmen is a livelihood choice that is based on the outcome of the farmer’s trade-off between profitability and risk, they missed opportunities to substantially increase incomes through cash cropping, as evidenced by the success of the farmers who adopted the cash crops. These findings suggest that the government ought to design tailored extension programs for villages, implement efficient refutation strategies to prevent rumor-induced market collapse and promote extension services as early as possible in the initial stages of transition to cash cropping.

Patrząc z perspektywy globalnej za uprawy komercyjne uznaje się istotne działania podejmowane przez rolników w celu zwiększenia swoich dochodów. Jednakże zainteresowanie rolników nowymi rozwiązaniami jest bardzo zróżnicowane. Niniejszy artykuł na przykładzie doliny Dai w należącym do Chin rejonie Xishuangbanna pokazuje jakie czynniki finansowe i środowiskowe wpływają na podjęcie przez rolników decyzji odnoszących się do nowych upraw komercyjnych. Otrzymane wyniki pokazują, że za odrzuceniem arbuzów stały ograniczone możliwości nawadniania i ograniczony dostęp, a za odrzuceniem bananów chwilowe załamanie rynku zbytu tych owoców, związane z szerzącą się pogłoską, jakoby konsumpcja bananów mogło być przyczyną nowotworów.Konsekwentnie, chociaż rolnicy odrzucający nowe uprawy korzystali z wymiany handlowej z zewnętrznymi przedsiębiorcami pod kątem eksperymentów ekologicznych i dywersyfikacji zarządzania, a ponadto biorąc pod uwagę, że przeznaczanie pól dla zewnętrznych przedsiębiorców jest decyzją opartą na ocenie możliwych zysków i strat, ci rolnicy stracili szansę na znaczące zwiększenie przychodów z upraw komercyjnych. Pokazuje to przykład rolników, którzy jednak zdecydowali się na nowe uprawy. Uzyskane rezultatu wskazują, że rząd powinien przygotować dostosowane do potrzeb rolników programy i strategie odnoszące się do tych zagadnień.

The wave energy, as a clean and non-pollution renewable energy sources, has become a hot research topic at home and abroad and is likely to become a new industry in the future. In this article, to effectively extract and maximize the energy from ocean waves, a vertical axisymmetric wave energy converter (WEC) was presented according to investigating of the advantages and disadvantages of the current WEC. The linear and quadratic equations in frequency-domain for the reactive controlled single-point converter property under regular waves condition are proposed for an efficient power take-off (PTO). A method of damping coefficients, theoretical added mass and exciting force are calculated with the analytical method which is in use of the series expansion of eigen functions. The loads of optimal reactive and resistive, the amplitudes of corresponding oscillation, and the width ratios of energy capture are determined approximately and discussed in numerical results.

A novel multi-objective discrete particle swarm optimization with elitist perturbation strategy (EPSMODPSO) is proposed and applied to solve the reconfiguration problem of shipboard power system(SPS). The new algorithm uses the velocity to decide each particle to move one step toward positive or negative direction to update the position. An elitist perturbation strategy is proposed to improve the local search ability of the algorithm. Reconfiguration model of SPS is established with multiple objectives, and an inherent homogeneity index is adopted as the auxiliary estimating index. Test results of examples show that the proposed EPSMODPSO performs excellent in terms of diversity and convergence of the obtained Pareto optimal front. It is competent to solve network reconfiguration of shipboard power system and other multi-objective discrete optimization problems.

In this paper, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) was efficiently prepared by the direct oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in alkaline conditions without any catalysts. The effects of reaction parameters on the process were systematically investigated and the optimal parameters were obtained as follows: molar ratio of 5-HMF:KOH: H2O2 was 1:4:8, reaction temperature and reaction time were determined as 70°C and 15 minutes, respectively. Under these conditions, the yield of FDCA was 55.6% and the purity of FDCA could reach 99%. Moreover, we have speculated the detailed oxidation mechanism of 5-HMF assisted by hydrogen peroxide in alkaline condition to synthesize FDCA.

According to the Lagrange equation, the model of the system is established. The average method of small parameters is applied to study the synchronization characteristics of the system, therefore, the balance equation and stability criterion of the system can be obtained. Obviously, many parameters affect the synchronous state of the rotors, especially the spring stiffness, the stiffness of the coupling unit and the installation location of the system. Finally, computer simulations are used to verify the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Heat is considered to play an important role in Semiconductor Bridge (SCB) plasma ignition. Nevertheless, in this paper a non-heat effect is reported for SCB ignition of primary explosives. An initial comparison showed that there is no reasonable correlation between the ease of plasma ignition and the 5-s explosion temperature. Meanwhile the addition of Pb3O4 was found to make lead styphnate (LS) more active to SCB plasma ignition whereas the heat decomposition of this mixture was not accelerated. In terms of the phenomena mentioned above and the response of primary explosives to SCB plasma, we propose an effect of light in SCB plasma ignition. The free radical concentration change indicates that light enhances the activity of primary explosives in SCB plasma ignition. Regarding the mixture of LS and Pb3O4, the additive itself does not make LS sensitive to the SCB plasma. However, the supplement makes LS active under light exposure. As a result, the effect of light on SCB plasma ignition was confirmed by the experiments conducted in this study. This paper provides a new understanding of SCB plasma ignition from the viewpoint of explosives, which is of importance for the design of SCBs.

As a kind of associated geological gas, coalbed methane (CBM) is mainly adsorbed in the coal seam. The coal-methane adsorption phenomenon can be described by Langmuir monolayer adsorptio n model, BET multilayer adsorption model and the Theory of Volume Filling of Micropore (TVFM), whereas the binary gas adsorption phenomenon can be described by the extended Langmuir Model. For the CBM in the low permeability coal seam, the amount of gas released by direct drainage is relatively limited, which cannot eliminate the gas explosion and outburst hazards. Gas injection is an effective method to promote methane drainage. In this paper, the free desorption and nitrogen injection displacement experiments are comparatively analyzed, which allows verifying the effectiveness of nitrogen injection’s enhancement to gas drainage. The experiment of injecting nitrogen gas into the coal body shows that the coal fracture can be maintained or expanded by the injected gas pressure so that more methane can be released. The nitrogen injection has a higher time efficiency than that of free desorption as well. The displacement ratio of N2/CH4 is in the range of 1-3. Both the injection pressure and confining pressure affect the displacement ratio. The analysis of the desorbed gas components shows that the relationship between the methane component and gas flooding time is an “inverted S” shape curve, and the appropriate time for the methane collection can be inferred by the time interval of the rapid decline of the curve.

Metan zawarty w złożu węgla występuje w głównej mierze w postaci zaadsorbowanej, jako gaz związany. Zjawisko adsorpcji metanu na węglu opisuje model adsorpcji jednowarstwowej Langmuira, model adsorpcji wielowarstwowej BET oraz teoria objętościowego wypełniania mikroporów. Z kolei procesy desorpcji mieszanin dwóch gazów opisuje rozszerzony model Langmuira. W przypadku metanu zawartego w złożu węgla o niskiej przepuszczalności, ilość gazu uwalnianego poprzez proste odgazowanie jest ograniczona i wciąż nie eliminuje ryzyka wybuchu gazu oraz wyrzutu skał i gazu. Wstrzykiwanie gazów jest jedną ze skutecznych metod odgazowania. W pracy tej przeprowadzono badanie porównawcze rezultatów swobodnej desorpcji gazu oraz wstrzyknięcia do złoża azotu, w celu zademonstrowania skuteczności odgazowania poprzez wprowadzenie azotu. Eksperyment polegający na wstrzykiwaniu azotu do calizny węglowej pokazuje możliwość zachowania lub powiększenia pęknięć w strukturze węgla pod działaniem ciśnienia wstrzykiwanego gazu, co umożliwi uwolnienie większych ilości metanu. Ponadto, wprowadzenie azotu okazuje się rozwiązaniem skuteczniejszym w dłuższym okresie czasu niż swobodna desorpcja. Stosunek wypierającego metan N2 do CH4 wynosi w przybliżeniu 1:3. Zarówno ciśnienie wstrzykiwanego gazu jak i wielkość ciśnienia złożowego mają wpływ na tempo wypierania metanu przez azot. Analiza składników desorbowanego gazu wskazuje, że zależność ilości metanu od czasu wypływu gazu opisywana jest na wykresie krzywą w postaci odwróconej litery S, zaś odpowiedni czas na odzysk metanu odczytujemy jako przedział odpowiadający nagłemu obniżeniu widocznemu na wykresie.
