Abstract:Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) nanocomposites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different surface structure and aspect ratio were prepared by melt compounding for electrospinning. The dispersion state of the CNTs in the composites was then examined utilizing rheology tools. The results show that carboxylic surface functionalized CNTs present better dispersion in the matrix than hydroxy surface functionalized CNTs because the former has stronger affinity to the PTT. Besides surface functionalization, the aspect ratio of CNTs is also vital to their final dispersion. The CNTs with lower aspect ratio are dispersed as individuals or small bundles while those with higher aspect ratio are dispersed mainly as flocs with large hydrodynamic radius, showing higher effective volume fraction. The presence of CNTs has a large influence on the morphologies of electrospun fiber and on the appearances of CNTs in the fibers. In the presence of CNTs with lower aspect ratio, continuous composite fibers are obtained. But the structure of those continuous fibers highly depends on the surface group of CNTs. Carboxylic surface functionalized CNTs are well embedded by the PTT and oriented along the fiber axis during electrospinning, leading to bead-free and uniform fiber morphology; while hydroxy surface functionalized CNTs show tortuous conformations with less orientation in the fibers, and as a result, the obtained fibers show beaded and misshaped morphologies. In the case of higher aspect ratio, however, the CNTs prefer to exist as entanglements or knots in the streamlines, and thereby only beaded or even uncontinuous fibers are obtained. Therefore, the formation and fiber morphology of PTT/CNT composite fibers obtained by electrospinning strongly depend on the surface functional groups of the CNTs, as well as on the CNT structure. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:The mechanism and kinetic properties of OH-initiated gas-phase reaction of 2,2',4,4'-tetrabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE-47) have been studied at the MPWB1K/6-311. +. G(3df,2p)//MPWB1K/6-31G(d) level of theory. Two types of reactions including hydroxyl addition and hydrogen abstraction have been considered. The calculation results indicate that addition reactions except for the bromo-substituted addition reaction have lower energy barriers than hydrogen abstraction reactions. Hydroxyl radical is most likely to be added to non-substituted C atoms (C(3), C(5), and C(6) atoms). Moreover, for all the reactions with OH radical, the bromo-substituted C atoms encountered the highest barrier compared to that of the rest C atoms. The rate constants and product branching ratios of each pathway have been deduced over a wide range of 200-1000. K using canonical variational transition state (CVT) theory with small curvature tunneling (SCT) contribution. This study can be regarded as an attempt to investigate the OH-initiated photochemical reaction mechanism of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:The method of modeling attack using attack tree was researched. The main research goal was how to effectively use the attack tree model and denote the multi-stage network attacks. Traditional attack tree was expanded and improved. Nodes of attack tree were redefined, and attack risk of leaf node was quantified. Then the mentality and method for establishing MLL-AT (multi-level & layer attack tree) were proposed. Based on the given attack tree, the MLL-ATDL (multi-level & layer attack tree description language) attack description language was given. The improved attack tree can model the attacks more accurately, in particular the multi-stage network attacks. And it can also be used for appraising system risk, distinguishing the different degrees of system security threats caused by different attack sequences.

Abstract:In order to master modern optimal methods, which are suitable for solving large pumping station optimal operation with multivariables. Basic principles of genetic algorithms(GA), particle swarm optimization(PSO) and simulated annealing particle swarm optimization(SA-PSO) were introduced, and the similarities and differences were analyzed. It is concluded that PSO is more simple and efficient than GA. Taking Jiangdu pumping station system in Eastern Route of South to North Water Transfer Project as an example, under the circumstances of certain pump assembly head, selecting the number of running pump units and blade setting angles of water pumps as variables, optimal mathematical models for pumping station operation schemes were established aiming at the least operation cost, meeting the constraint conditions such as total pumping discharge, allowed discharge of single pump and the number of running pump units. GA, PSO and SA-PSO were applied to solve the models respectively to determine the number of running pump units, operation duties of pump units and daily operation cost of each pumping station. Constraint conditions were used to deal with feasible rules, and calculating procedure was programmed with Matlab. The results indicate that the operation costs of the optimum schemes by adjusting pump blade setting angles with SA-PSO are 0.99%-4.22% less than that of the conventional schemes under design blade angles, and among the three optimum schemes, the operation cost of the optimum scheme based on SA-PSO is about 0.22%-2.80%, 0.02%-0.40% less than that based on GA and PSO respectively. Computing times of the three optimizing algorithms are 30, 52 and 25 s respectively. Therefore, SA-PSO is more suitable for solving large pumping station operation optimization problems.

Abstract:A kind of robust mixed non-fragile optimal H2/LQR control with regional pole placement was proposed for an air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV). A new linear uncertain model was developed according to a nonlinear longitudinal model of an AHV and then a multi-objective non-fragile controller was designed that includes regional pole placement, robust guaranteed cost control and optimal H2 control performance indexes for the proposed linear uncertain model. The paper also took the gain variation of the controller into account due to parametric uncertainties of an AHV flight condition and the errors existed in modeling. The existed conditions of the multi-objective non-fragile controller were deduction by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the simulation comparisons between non-fragile controller and traditional controller that without considering the gain variation illustrate the advantages and effectiveness of our approach.

Abstract:A mixed-flow pumping system was selected as the study case based on CFD technologies. Two difference methodologies of flow field analysis and performance prediction were conducted. One method was that the system efficiency was the production of pump efficiency with passage efficiency obtained by separate numerical simulation of suction box and discharge passage without pump. The other one was based on the simulation of whole pumping system including the suction box, discharge passage and pump. The predicted results from the two different methodologies were compared with model system test results, which showed that the predicted errors were different. The error of pumping system efficiency was smaller when the numerical simulation of whole pumping system was adopted, while the error was much greater when the system efficiency was predicted by the production of passage efficiency with pump efficiency, approximately equal only near the best efficiency point. The larger errors in predicting pumping system efficiency for the first method were mainly caused by unreasonable theoretic foundation. Therefore, it is suggested that the suction box, discharge passage and pump should be taken as a whole in numerical simulation and performance prediction and the effect of pump should be considered in the optimal hydraulic design of suction box and discharge passage.

Abstract:In order to further improve the accuracy of predicting winter wheat grain protein content (GPC) by remote sensing, the study analyzed the quantitative relationship between satellite remote sensing variables and GPC. Depending on the partial least squares regression (PLS), the multivariable remote sensing prediction model and the space level distribution map of winter wheat grain protein content were constructed. For the PLS model, the number of the best principal components was 5, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), structure insensitive pigment index (SIPI), ratio vegetation index (RVI), nitrogenous reflection index (NRI) and plant senescence reflectance index (PSRI) were identified as the sensitive remote sensing variables for predicting GPC. The determination coefficient (R2) and the root mean square error (RMSE) between estimated value and measured value of GPC were 0.642 and 0.307%, respectively. The results indicate that PLS method can provide an effective way to improve the accuracy of predicting wheat grain quality at large scale by remote sensing data.
