To discuss the stability of systems, the main idea is to integrate the solution to systems in the space variable. Then, the integration is considered as the solution process of corresponding neural networks described by stochastic ordinary differential equations. A Lyapunov function is constructed and Ito formula is employed to compute the derivative of the mean Lyapunov function along the systems, with respect to the space variable. It is difficult to treat stochastic systems with distributed parameters since there is no corresponding Ito formula for this kind of system. Our method can overcome this difficulty. Till now, the research of stability and stabilization of stochastic neural networks with distributed parameters has not been considered.展开更多

The chemical composition of inclusions in the steel was analyzed by SEM-EDS. The inclusions were mainly composed of MnS and aluminum oxides. The precipitation of MnS at aluminum oxides might result in Mn depletion, which, in turn, pro- motes the formation of intragranular ferrite. Optical and SEM observations and three- dimensional (3D) reconstruction demonstrated that intragranular ferrite was formed at inclusions. The morphology of intragranular ferrite changed with undercooling. At higher temperatures intragranular ferrite was nearly equiaxed whereas it was plate-like or lath-like at lower temperatures.展开更多

Ions extracted from a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) are sourced with 100keV energy and a dose range from 0.2×1017 to 2.0×1017ions·cm-2. The saturation dose of Cu implantation in AISI420 SS and Cu surface concentration were calculated at the energy of 100keV. The effect of dose on the antibacterial activity was analyzed. Results of antibacterial test show that the saturation dose is the optimum implantation dose for best antibacterial activity, which is above 99% against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Novel phases such as Fe4Cu3 and Cu9.9Fe0.1 were found in the implanted layer by glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GXRD). The antibacterial activity of AISI420 SS attributes to Cu-contained phase.展开更多

The Cu-implanted stainless steel was treated by a special antibacterial treatment subsequently. The phase compositions in the implanted layer were studied by glancing X-ray diffraction ( GXRD) and changes of bacterial appearance on the surface of Cu un-implanted SS and Cu-implanted SS with antibacterial treatment SS were observed by bio-TEM (transmission electron microscopy) separately. The results showed that a suitable amount of Cu-rich phase was dispersed in the implanted layer of Cu-implanted SS that was treated by special antibacterial treatment. So the Cu-implanted martensitic stainless steel with antibacterial treatment reveals excellent antibacterial property against both E. coli and S. aureus.展开更多

The concept of a dilation center was developed to represent the field of undrained pressure change in a saturated linear elastic medium. Since instantaneous pore fluid pressures can be developed to a considerable distance from the dislocation, monitoring the rate of pressure generation and subsequent pressure dissipation in a fully coupled manner enables certain characteristics of the resulting dislocation to be defined. The principal focus of this study is the application of dislocation based methods to analyze the behavior of the fluid pressure response induced by intrusive dislocations in a semi infinite space, such as dike intrusion, hydraulic fracturing and piezometer insertion. Partially drained pore pressures result from the isothermal introduction of volumetric moving pencil like dislocations described as analogs to moving point dislocation within a semi infinite saturated elastic medium. To represent behavior within the halfspace, an image dislocation is positioned under the moving coordinate frame fixed to the front of the primary moving dislocation, to yield an approximate solution for pore pressure for constant fluid pressure conditions. Induced pore pressures are concisely described under a minimum set of dimensionless parameter groupings representing propagation velocity, and relative geometry. Charts defining induced pore fluid pressure at a static measuring point provide a meaningful tool for determining unknown parameters in data reduction. Two intrusive events at Krafla, Iceland are examined using the type curve matching techniques. Predicted parameters agree favorably with field data.展开更多

The fluid field analysis was obtained through mathematical simulation. In order to decrease the ladle refractory wearing and increase the heating speed of liquid steel, some measures should be adopted. The result shows that the flow fields in CAS OB ladle and original ladle are different. With a fixed gas flow rate, the flow field is related to the plug position and the snorkel depth. When the nozzle is located at 0 45 r , where r is the radius of ladle bottom, the fluid field predicted by water modeling is quite satisfactory for improving the quality of liquid steel.展开更多

For this reason, phosphorus segregation to prior austenite grain boundaries in a P-doped 2.25Cr1Mo steel subjected to neutron irradiation is examined using field emission gun scanning transmission electron microscopy (FEGSTEM) with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). The steel samples are irradiated around 270 and 400℃, respectively. The irradiation dose rate and dose are -1.05×10-8 dpa/s and -0.042 dpa respectively for 270℃ irradiation, and 1.7×10-8 dpa/s and 0.13 dpa respectively for 400℃ irradiation. The FEGSTEM results indicate that there is no apparent phosphorus segregation during 270℃ irradiation but there is some during 400℃ irradiation.展开更多

The dislocations and carbon concentration in retained austenite were observed by a transmission electron microscope and an electric probe analyzer, respectively. The experimental results showed that silicon and manganese are two fundamental alloying elements to stabilize austenite effectively but retaining austenite in different mechanisms. Meanwhile, the cooling processing played an important role in controlling the fraction of retained austenite of the hot-rolled high strength and high plasticity steels.展开更多

Until now the kinetic models for irradiation-induced grain boundary precipitation have been sparse. For this reason, we have theoretically treated grain boundary precipitation under irradiation in dilute binary alloys. Predictions of γ' -Ni3Si precipitation at grain boundaries are made for a dilute Ni-Si alloy subjected to irradiation. It is demonstrated that grain boundary silicon segregation under irradiation may lead to grain boundary γ'-Ni3Si precipitation over a certain temperature range.展开更多

After delivery, the mother-rats receivedMnCl2 unceasingly for a week with the same method. Thenthe contents of Mn、 Zn、 Cu and Fe in the livers of the new-bom rats were determined by atomic absorptionspectroscopy; The level of HSP70 in the brains and thelivers of the new-born rats as detected by Westsrn-dot-blotting, and the SOD activities were measuredsimultaneously.RESULTS: The contents of Mn in the livers of new-bom ratsof the experimental groups(respective 1.38 ± 0.18, 2.73 ±0.65, 3.44 ± 0.89μg @ g-1) were significantly increasedcompared with the control group(0.88 ± 0.18μg@ g-1; p <0.01); The contents of Fe in the livers of new-bom rats of 15and 30 mg@ kg-1 experimental groups (426 ± 125,572 ± 175μg@g-1, respectively) were significantly increased comparedwith the control group(286±42μg@g-1; P<0.05); the levelsof Zn in the livers of the new-bom rats of three experimentalgroups( 254 ± 49, 263 ± 47, 213 ± 28μg@ g-1, respectively)were lower than those of the control group(335 ± 50μg@g-1;respective P<0.05, P<0.01); and the levels of Cu showedno significant difference among the four groups (threeexperimental groups: 75 ± 21, 68 ± 241 and 78 ± 18μg@g-1;control group: 83 ± 9μg@ g-1; p > 0.05). There was asignificant increase in the levels of HSP70 in the brains ofnew-bom rats of the 30 mg@kg-1 group (19.5 × 103 ± 1.3 ×103A; control group: 14.3 × 103 ± 1.4 × 103A; P< 0.01),andthe levels of HSP70 in the livers of new-bom rats of threeexperinental groups(respective 19.6 × 103 ± 3.9 × 103A, 18.5× 103 ± 3.8 × 103A, 22.4 × 1
文摘Irradiation-induced grain boundary segregation of solute atoms frequently bring about grain boundary precipitation of a second phase because of its making the solubility limit of the solute surpassed at grain boundaries. Until now the kinetic models for irradiation-induced grain boundary precipitation have been sparse. For this reason, we have theoretically treated grain boundary precipitation under irradiation in dilute binary alloys. Predictions of γ' -Ni3Si precipitation at grain boundaries are made for a dilute Ni-Si alloy subjected to irradiation. It is demonstrated that grain boundary silicon segregation under irradiation may lead to grain boundary γ'-Ni3Si precipitation over a certain temperature range.
