The internal pore structure of sulphoaluminate cement concrete (SACC) significantly affects its mechanical properties. The main purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between pore structure changes and compressive strength after exposure to elevated temperatures. SACC samples that had been cured for 12 months were dried to a constant weight and then exposed to different temperatures (100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C), after which the compressive strength and pore structure were measured. The pore structure of SACC was quantitatively described by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and nitrogen adsorption results. The results showed that with increased temperature, the porosity of the SACC samples also increased and the pore structure was gradually destroyed. Moreover, the SACC’s compressive strength gradually decreased with increasing temperature. The relationship between compressive strength and porosity was in close agreement with the compressive strength–porosity equation proposed by Schiller. Therefore, after extensive exposure to elevated temperature, the changes in SACC’s compressive strength can be quantitatively described by the Schiller equation.

The interface characteristics, bending and impact behavior, as well as fracture characteristics of stainless steel clad plates fabricated by vacuum hot rolling at different rolling temperatures of 1100°C, 1200°C and 1300°C are investigated in detail. The interface bonding strength is gradually increased with the increasing rolling temperature due to the sufficient diffusion behavior of alloy element. The bending toughness and impact toughness are gradually decreased, while the bending strength increase with the increase of the rolling temperature, which is attributed to mechanisms of matrix softening and interface strengthening at high rolling temperature. Due to the weak interface at 1100°C, the bending and impact crack propagation path was displaced by delamination cracks, which in turn lead to reduction in stress intensity of the main crack, playing an effective role in toughening the stainless steel clad plates. Moreover, the impact fracture morphologies of clad plates show a typical ductile-brittle transition phenomenon, which is attributed to the matrix softening behavior with the increasing rolling temperature.

The anti-impact ability of shafting affects stability and security of the ship power transmission directly. Moreover, it also cannot be ignored that the rub-impact loads have influence on the torsion vibration of ship shafting. In order to solve the problem of engineering application of reliability assessment under rub-impact loads, a test rig with rubbing generator is established. By carrying out the integrative analysis, the torsional vibration characteristics, such as vibration amplitude and orbit of axle center under the rub impact load are studied. According to the rub-impact conditions obtained through numerical simulation, the experimental verification is carried out on the test rig with rubbing generator. The results show that it is not obvious the influence of rub-impact loads upon the shafting torsion vibration except in special working conditions, that can be simulated by the rubbing generator. The maximum amplitude of torsional vibration is influenced by the radial rigidity as well as the friction coefficient of rubbing body, and the degree of influence is difference under conditions of continuous rubbing and serious rubbing. By adjusting the rigidity of stern bearing, the influence of rub-impact upon shafting can be weaken, which provides a theoretical reference for the safety evaluation of ship shafting.

A novel collector, tert-butyl benzohydroxamic acid (TBHA), was first introduced in rhodochrosite flotation. The performance of TBHA was investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation along with the micro flotation test, zeta potential determination and XPS analysis, compared with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA). TBHA has stronger affinity to the mineral than BHA in terms of frontier molecular orbital, atomic net charge and bond population. The substitution of tert-butyl group on the benzene ring improves the affinity of the hydroxamic acid to the mineral. TBHA exhibits excellent collecting ability to rhodochrosite with a recovery of about 99% at a concentration of 3.89×10-4 mol/dm3 and pH 6.5. The hydroxamic acid molecules are adhered on mineral surfaces by chemical adsorption, resulting in negative shifts for the zeta potential of rhodochrosite with the presence of the collector. Chemical adsorption can be also confirmed from XPS analyses that the atomic concentration ratios of C and O to Mn on the treated mineral surfaces were increased and the binding energy of Mn3s was decreased. The experimental data achieve excellent agreement with the computational analyses.

In this research, the kinetics and mechanism of one-step reductive leaching of manganese oxide ores by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or its disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) in an aqueous medium have been investigated. The kinetic data of this reductive leaching process may be described by the Avrami model, and the apparent activation energy was determined to be 15.8 kJ·mol-1/7.9 kJ·mol-1 for leaching by EDTA/EDTA-2Na with a reaction order of -1.7/2.0. The EDTA/EDTA-2Na leach liquor characterized and analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and total organic carbon (TOC) determination denoted that the oxidation-reduction reaction happened between manganese(IV) and EDTA/EDTA-2Na, and a coordination complex, EDTA-manganese(II/III) formed. This new process can be easily used to leach manganese from manganese oxide ores in a moderate environment with the pH range of 5–8.

A new method using non-salt roasting-alkaline leaching to treat vanadium slag was proposed in this study. The V(III) in vanadium slag is oxidized to V(V) by roasting and the latter can be effectively leached out as vanadate by alkaline leaching. This method possesses distinct advantage of being able to treat high-grade vanadium slag. For the South Africa high-grade vanadium slag, the maximum vanadium recovery of 98% was achieved when the reaction conditions were roasting temperature of 850 °C, roasting time of 2 h, alkali concentration of 30 wt.%, leaching temperature of 210 °C, and leaching time of 2 h. The roasting and leaching mechanisms have been well elucidated based on the XRD and SEM analysis results. The phases transitions of vanadium slag were clearly presented. This work has laid the foundation for the industrial application of non-salt roasting-alkaline leaching and provided new insights into effective extraction of high-grade vanadium slag.

With the goal of decreasing the stress concentration along the hole boundary in an orthotropic plate under inequi-biaxial loadings, an optimum design of the fiber angle and hole orientation is presented. The maximum absolute tangential stress along the hole boundary is taken as the objective function, and the fiber orientation angle and the hole orientation angle are considered as design variables. The conformal transformation method of a complex function and the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm are used. Two non-circular shapes, ellipse and hexagon are taken as examples to analyze the problem. Based on the results, we can conclude that the major axis of elliptical holes should be designed in the direction of the maximum external loading for a perforated structure in an orthotropic plate. However, the principal direction that has the larger Young’s modulus should be inclined to the direction of the minimum loading, especially for a significantly orthotropic plate.

A topological index is a numeric quantity associated with a network or a graph that characterizes its whole structural properties. In [Javaid and Cao, Neural Computing and Applications, DOI 10.1007/s00521-017-2972-1], the various degree-based topological indices for the probabilistic neural networks are studied. We extend this study by considering the calculations of the other topological indices, and derive the analytical closed formulas for these new topological indices of the probabilistic neural network. Moreover, a comparative study using computer-based graphs has been carried out first time to clarify the nature of the computed topological descriptors for the probabilistic neural networks. Our results extend some known conclusions.

In this paper, flotation performances of low-rank coal were investigated in the 2-ethyl hexanol, DAH (dodecyl amine hydrochloride), and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) solutions, respectively. In order to reduce the heterogeneity and hydrodynamic effects on the hydrophobicity and movement trajectory of low-rank coal particles, respectively, experimental coal samples with low ash content and 0.500–0.250 mm in size fraction were adopted. The XPS result demonstrated that the total silicium and aluminum content of 0.500–0.250 mm size fraction was 1.58%. It was also found that the ash content of the 0.500–0.250 mm size fraction was 1.91%. Therefore, it demonstrated that there were few hydrophilic mineral particles on the coal sample surface. Thus, the heterogeneity effect of hydrophilic mineral particles during sliding process measurements can be ignored. The XPS result also indicated that after the grinding process, the mineral content on the low-rank coal surface was very small, which would play a small role in the hydrophobicity of low-rank coal samples. The flotation results indicated that the hydrophobicity of the low-rank coal particles could be improved by nonionic 2-ethyl hexanol and cation DAH surfactants. Moreover, from the analysis of slip angle velocity, it demonstrated that the flotation responses of low-rank coal were depressed by anionic SDS. Furthermore, it was observed that the slip angle velocity can be used to evaluate the effect of surfactant agents on the flotation performance of low-rank coal while the surfactant concentration was more than 10–6 mol/L.

W niniejszym artykule zbadano właściwości flotacyjne węgla niskiej jakości w roztworach 2-etyloheksanolu, DAH (chlorowodorku dodecylu) i SDS (dodecylosiarczanu sodu). W celu zmniejszenia niejednorodności i skutków hydrodynamicznych hydrofobowości i trajektorii ruchu cząstek węgla niskiej jakości przyjęto do doświadczeń próbki węgla o niskiej zawartości popiołu z klasy ziarnowej 0,500–0,250 mm. Wynik XPS wykazał, że całkowita zawartość krzemu i glinu w klasie ziarnowej 0,500–0,250 mm wynosiła 1,58%. Stwierdzono również, że zawartość popiołu w klasie ziarnowej 0,500–0,250 mm wynosiła 1,91%. W związku z tym wykazano, że na powierzchni próbki węgla znajduje się niewiele hydrofilowych cząstek mineralnych. W ten sposób można pominąć efekt heterogeniczności hydrofilowych cząstek mineralnych podczas pomiarów kąta poślizgu. Wynik XPS wskazał również, że po procesie mielenia zawartość minerałów na powierzchni węgla niskiej jakości była bardzo mała, dlatego też występuje słabe oddziaływanie na hydrofobowość tych próbek. Wyniki flotacji wskazują, że hydrofobowość cząstek węgla niskiej jakości można poprawić za pomocą niejonowego 2-etyloheksanolu i kationowych środków powierzchniowo czynnych DAH. Analiza prędkości kąta poślizgu wykazuje, że flotacja węgla niskiej jakości została obniżona przez SDS. Ponadto zaobserwowano, że prędkość kąta poślizgu może być wykorzystana do oceny wpływu środków powierzchniowo czynnych na sprawność flotacji węgla niskiej jakości, gdy ich stężenie jest większe niż 10–6 mol/L.

This study investigates a digital control system which is used in bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motors (BPMSMs). Compared with traditional permanent magnet synchronous motors, a BPMSM is characterized by higher speed and no mechanic friction. Therefore, the application value of the latter to the special area is higher than that of the former. An analysis from previous work on the BPMSM had proved its feasibility, and some performances such as suspension force, inductance and so on were also investigated. Based on this analysis, this study focuses on solving control problems in practical applications by designing a control system. The control system design includes overall schematic, hardware and software designs. Main software systems, including the force/current transform module and closed loop control module for radial displacement, are analyzed. Interface circuit for radial displacement, current feedback circuit and dead zone protection circuit are designed for the hardware system. Finally, several performance experiments have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the designed digital control system. Experiment results indicate that the rotor has unique characteristics, such as stable suspension performance, good start-of-suspension performance, and rapid anti-disturbance features.

This study analyzed the uncertainty of inversion and the resolution limit in the presence of noise by means of statistical experiments. The exhaustive method is adopted to obtain the global optimal solution in each experiment. We found that even with small level of noise, solutions fluctuate in a large range for the thin bed. The distribution of solutions in the presence of noise is closely related to the spread of the cost function in the absence of noise. As a result, the area of a certain neighborhood around the true solution on the spread of the cost function in the absence of noise is used to evaluate the uncertainty of inversion and the resolution limit in the presence of noise. In the case that the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) is 5 in this study, solutions focus around the true solution with a very small uncertainty only when the bed thickness is greater than the reciprocal of the double predominant frequency of the convoluting wavelet.

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.

In this study, we developed a urine metabolomic method by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) combination with biomedical results to evaluate the effect of activated carbon on methomyl poisoning rats. The rats were divided into four groups, methomyl group, two activated carbon treatment group, and control group. According to the biochemical results, it indicated that activated carbon treated rats could cause liver and kidney function changes. According to the urine metabolomics results, activated carbon treatment group (10 min) and activated carbon treatment group (30 min) could be distinguished from methomyl group, and activated carbon treatment group (10 min) could be separated from activated carbon treatment group (30 min) rats, which indicated that the treatment of rats by activated carbon in different time had a different effect. The results indicate that metabolomic method by GC–MS may be useful to elucidate activated carbon treated on methomyl poisoning rats.

Calibration plots were linear throughout the range 2–500 ng Ml-1 for jaceosidin in rat plasma. Relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 12%. The accuracy of the method was between 88.7% and 109.7%. Mean recoveries of jaceosidin in rat plasma ranged from 65.4% to 77.9%. The developed UPLC–MS/MS method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study of jaceosidin after intravenous administration of 2 mg kg-1 in rats. We could find that the jaceosidin rapidly eliminated, the t1/2 was 0.7 ± 0.3 h, and clearance (CL) was 22.4 ± 3.0 L h-1 kg-1.

It is important to evaluate the deformation and failure of sandstone in the foundation engineering of coast, river bank and lake shore. While the deformation and failure of sandstone is a comprehensive result of energy release and dissipation, and energy release is the internal reason which leads to global failure of the sandstone. The experimental analysis is conducted on the character of energy revolution of the sandstone specimen by rating loading and unloading, and the catastrophe model is followed in analyzing elastic strain energy accumulation and release in rock deformation and failure. The index based on elastic energy release is proposed to assess the rock brittleness. It is found that increasing water content is to relieve energy release and catastrophe failure of the rock specimen, and weakening the capacity of elastic energy storage. The peak and residual values of elastic energy are raised as the confining pressure increases, and the post-peak released energy decreases progressively. The confining pressure strengthens energy storage and inhibits energy release of the rock specimen, and saturation of rock will weaken this inhibit effect. The brittleness index decreases with increasing confining pressure as the rock specimen transforming from brittle to ductile.

Understanding the factors affecting the species richness of alien and native plant is a key issue for predicting the spread of alien species and protecting rare and endangered native species in nature reserves. To investigate the factors affecting alien and native species richness in temperate nature reserves of China, we used a database of 25 nature reserves in Shandong Province of northern China, and studied the relationship of alien and native plant species richness with climatic and anthropogenic factors, as well as area and elevation range. We found that most of the nature reserves in Shandong Province have been invaded by alien plant species. The distribution of alien and native species responds to the same climatic factors, and temperature and precipitation exert strong effects on both groups. Alien and native plant species richness are positively correlated. Human activity is more effective for explaining richness of alien than for native species. Simultaneously, human activity has stronger effects on alien herbaceous than on alien woody plants. Our results suggest that native species richness is mainly explained by climatic factors, whereas alien species richness is mainly explained by climatic factors and human activity together.

In the vertical spindle pulverizer (VSP), the large circulation ratio and high ash and sulfur contents in circulating load would result in intensive energy consumption and low grinding efficiency. Although the control of circulating load would help increase the energy efficiency, no quantitative study has been conducted due to the high temperature and pressure in the closed VSP. In this study, response of energy-size reduction to the control of circulating load was studied by the experimental simulation method. Coal mixtures with fine/coarse ratio of 11:1, 8:1 and 6:1 were ground by a lab-scale roller mill. Energy-size reductions of the coarse coal were compared to evaluate the influence of circulating load control. Results showed that the product with the coarse coal increased by 30% when the specific breakage energy was 1.0 kWht–1 as the circulation ratio decreased from 11 to 6. Meanwhile, a breakage characteristic index of the coarse coal was two times higher due to the cushioning effect of fines. Besides, decrease of circulation ratio led to increase of the breakage rate of coarse coal, and the energy saving improved by 57%. With the same energy input of 2.0 kWht-1, the yield of –0.09 mm pulverized fuel (PF) increased from 22 to 43%. Therefore, controlling the circulating load is an effective method to improve the breakage rate of coarse coal and energy efficiency for PF generation.

Lignite is well known for its strong hydrophilicity and hard-to-float properties. However, the surface free energy of the solid is made up of two components, that is the Lifshitz-van der Waals and acid-base interaction energy. Differences in these two components between the low ash (lower density) and high ash fraction (higher density) provide a benefit for improving the separation efficiency through introducing surfactants in flotation. In this paper, thermodynamic characterization of three density lignite fractions was measured by a Washburn dynamic method. Combining the Washburn equation and Van Oss-Chaudhury-Good theory, the surface free energy components of three samples were calculated according to the wetting process by n-hexane, diiodomethane, deionized water and ethylene glycol. The Lifshitz-van der Waals part of surface free energy reduced with the coal density increase, especially between fractions of -1.45 g/cm3 and 1.45-1.80 g/cm3, while the Lewis base part increased slightly. The interfacial interaction free energies between the surfactant and lignite in aqueous medium indicated that the low hydrophilic index benefited for the stronger adsorption intensity. Increase of the surfactant Lifshitz-van der Waals component increases the adsorptive intensity on lower density lignite and the repulsive intensity on higher density lignite, which is beneficial for separation.
