The calculation of generalized stacking fault energy for covalent materials exists several relaxation methods. And the modification factor of the restoring force should be different for different relaxation. In order to study the impact of generalized stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of dislocations, the dislocation energy, Peierls barrier and Peierls stress of shuffle dislocation in zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) under different modification factors are studied by the improved Peierls-Nabarro (P-N) theory. It is found that the misfit energies decreased, and the strain and total energies increased with increasing of the modification factor Δ. With the modification factor Δ of the restoring force changes from -0.2 to 0.5, the dislocation energy changes from 17.4eV to 19.3eV. The Peierls barriers Ep and σp Peierls stresses increased first and then decreased and the results are not as same as we thought. The impact of generalized stacking fault energy on mechanical properties of dislocations is not so simple as we thought and need to be further studied.

Catalpol, an iridoid glycoside, has been verified to be of neuroprotection and may be a potential agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease. The extraction technology of catalpol has been tested in this paper. We used different extraction methods including extraction at room temperature (ERT), heat reflux extraction, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic extraction and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) to evaluat the percentage extraction of catapol fromRehmannia glutinosa Libosch.The extracts were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methanol (100%, v/v) extracted high percentage extraction of catapol compared to ethanol (60%, v/v) which achieved the highest percentage extraction of catapol in different concentration of ethanol. The results showed that the percentage extraction of catalpol fromRehmannia glutinosa Liboschby MAE was more efficient in short time followed by ultrasonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction, heat reflux extraction and ERT methods. MAE has need of 4 min, whereas ultrasonic extraction, Soxhlet extraction, heat reflux extraction and ERT techniques require 70, 140, 180 min and 60 h respectively, to leach higher percentage extraction of catalpol. The time taken by MAE was nearly 18 times less than the ultrasonic extraction, 35 times less than Soxhlet extraction, 45 times less than heat reflux extraction and 900 times less than ERT for the highest percentage extraction of catalpol. The present results showed that the high extraction efficiency and considerable saving of time by MAE were more competent than the conventional extraction techniques.

The prepared complex inorganic polymer flocculant proved to be effective in removing turbidity. The turbidity removal ratio for kaolin simulative water was 99.36%.

Formation pressure is an important symbol of driving energy and the key problem of gas reservoir development. Therefore, the formation pressure’s evaluation is a very important work. Due to the invasion of edge-bottom water, using conventional "flow" material balance method to calculate the formation pressure is no longer applicable. According to the theory of reservoir pressure calculation based on flowing material balance method, we established a improved method to calculate the pressure of water drive gas reservoir and verified it by an example. The results show that: edge and bottom water intrusion has obvious effect on the calculation of formation pressure; after considering the influence of water drive, the formation pressure’s calculation results increased, as a consequence the formation pressure’s decreasing range reduced. This research’s result has important reference value for improving the precision of water drive gas reservoir’s formation pressure.

One alternative mathod to improve safety of signalized arterials is to optimize signal timings. Historically, signal retiming tools were used to reduce traffic delay and stops and other measures of traffic efficiency such as closed-loop systems in California and United States. The concept of optimizing signal timings specifically to improve safety metrics, or their surrogate measures, is not common in current signal timing optimization practice. This study advocates a fresh approach to integrating VISSIM microsimulation software, Surrogate Safety Assessment Model, and VISSIM-based Genetic Algorithm for Optimization of Signal Timings to reduce surrogate measures of safety and thereby reduce risks of potential real-world crashes. In addition, a multiple-objective genetic algorithm is implemented to identify the optimal compromise between two competing objectives: surrogate safety and traffic efficiency. Language: en

The one-droplet-per-pulse transfer is widely considered to ensure the stability of the welding process in pulsed MIG welding; a peak pulse followed by a median pulse in a square wave pulse can effectively enhance droplet transfer controllability and improve weld appearance. The instantaneous current and voltage waveforms, the probability density distributions of current and voltage, and U-I graphs collected by the waveform wavelet analyzer were used to assess the welding quality and weld bead appearance. The 1.2-mm carbon steel welding wire experiments showed that under the same conditions, using a median waveform could significantly improve the welding quality. If the median current was too small or too large, the influence on the welding process was not obvious, and was only representing an increase of the base current or peak current phase. If the median time was too short, the energy accumulated was not enough to control the droplet transfer; conversely, too much median time led to globular droplet transfer. With a backward median current range of 180A-225A and duration range of 8ms-12ms, all experiments resulted in a nice weld effect.

Since the composition of crude bio-oil was complex, model compounds were usually used in the study of cracking to simulate the actual bio-oil. However, the cracking of pure model compound mixture generated an inferior oil phase which had a high content of oxygenated byproducts. When ethanol was adopted as the co-reactant, the reactant conversion, yield and quality of oil phase were obviously improved. The conversions of the reactants were 100% and the selectivity of the oil phase was 31.5wt% when the concentration of model compound mixture in the feed reached 30%. Meanwhile, the oil phase also had a superior quality which was entirely composed of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

A currency crisis is typically a kind of rare event, but it hurts sustainable economic development when it occurs. A novel method of wavelet-based support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to predict financial crisis events for early-warning purposes in this paper. In the proposed method, currency exchange rate, a typical currency indicator that usually reflects economic fluctuations, is first chosen. Then a wavelet decomposition algorithm is applied to the currency exchange rate series. Using the wavelet decomposition procedure, some details and features of the currency exchange rate series, with different scales, can be obtained. Using these details and features, a wavelet-based SVM learning paradigm is used to predict future currency crisis events, based upon some historical data. For illustration purpose, the proposed wavelet-based SVM learning paradigm is applied to exchange rate data of two Asian countries to evaluate the state of currency crisis. Experimental results reveal that the proposed wavelet-based SVM learning paradigm can significantly improve the generalization performance relative to some popular forecasting methods.
