A TEM study on the microstructure of spark plasma sintered ZrB_2-based composite with nano-sized SiC dopant

Sintering behavior of ZrB_2 ceramic with nano-sized SiC dopant was studied. ZrB_2-25 vol% nano-sized SiC was selected as the starting mixture to fabricate the composite. The manufacturing process was accomplished at 1800℃ for 5 min under 25 MPa via spark plasma sintering(SPS). The as-sintered sample reached a relative density of 99%. Besides the initial phases, namely ZrB_2 and SiC, the high-resolution X-ray diffraction(HRXRD) was used to study the formation of an in-situ ZrC phase. The possible chemical interactions during the ZrC phase formation were scrutinized. The microstructure of the composite was studied by the field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Elemental analysis through FESEM evaluations revealed the formation of amorphous phases, rich in Zr, C, Si, B, and O elements, which was in harmony with the thermodynamical assessments. TEM studies endorsed the formation of such phases, containing a glassy bed of Si–B–O with ZrC and C islands dispersed therein.     

等间距平行线辅助机器视觉实现工件尺寸测量

针对工业柔性密封圈形变造成内外圆尺寸发生改变和传统成像系统畸变造成图像边缘轮廓失真,从而直接影响轮廓测量精度的问题,提出一种基于等间距平行线工件尺寸测量算法.首先对工件区域进行轮廓跟踪,求出区域的边界像素点序列;其次,绘制一组水平或垂直方向等间距平行线,对工件轮廓进行拟合;最后,根据圆的计算公式求解出曲面轮廓的尺寸参数值,从而减少畸变造成的测量误差.通过对密封圈内外轮廓尺寸精度和断面精度对工件测量影响的分析,结果表明:基于等间距平行线工件尺寸测量算法对柔性圈内外径最小误差分别为0.5％和0.9％,横断面最小误差为1.6％.     

佛山市敬老院304例老年人口腔保健知识及行为调查分析

目的调查分析佛山市敬老院老年人口腔保健知识和健康行为,为社区老年人的口腔疾病防治工作提供必要的信息。方法采用问卷调查法,于2013年对佛山市5间敬老院共304名老年人进行口腔自我保健知识及健康行为进行问卷调查。结果 1)口腔卫生习惯:每天早晚刷两次牙的占32.6%,更换牙刷的频率为3个月内定期更换一次仅占11.6%,日常使用过牙线清洁口腔仅占4.6%。2)就医行为:调查的老年人中60.5%对自己的口腔健康不满意,但仅有4.7%的人会定期接受口腔健康检查。3)接受口腔健康信息宣教的途径:不知道或认为所在社区没有进行过关于口腔健康信息宣传的占83.7%。4)对口腔保健知识及常见口腔疾病的防治知识的测试结果普遍较差。结论佛山市敬老院老年人的口腔保健知识贫乏,应加强对老年人口腔健康教育信息的宣传,建立良好的口腔健康行为。     

不同基肥处理对赣南稀土尾矿种植皇竹草的农艺性状及产量的影响

试验研究在稀土尾矿上不施基肥(对照组),施用粪污处理后的牛场沼液(B)、发酵牛粪(C)、牛粪养殖的蚯蚓粪(E)、发酵牛粪+牛场沼液(C+B)、牛粪养殖的蚯蚓粪+牛场沼液(E+B)5种基肥处理后,对皇竹草农艺性状及产量的影响.结果表明:B处理未能提升皇竹草存活率、农艺性状和产量,显著低于其余4个处理组,C、E处理与C+B、E+B处理之间的存活率、农艺性状和产量差异不显著.C、E、C+B、E+B处理均能有效提升皇竹草的株高、分蘖数、茎粗、单株高重和产量,株高、单株重和产量上,以E和E+B处理效果最好,分蘖数、茎粗在4个处理组间差异不明显.综上所述,在赣南稀土尾矿上种植皇竹草,施用蚯蚓粪作为基肥对皇竹草农艺性状及产量的提升效果最好.     

An Economic Model-Based Matching Approach Between Buyers and Sellers Through a Broker in an Open E-Marketplace

A broker in an open e-marketplace enables buyers and sellers to do business with each other. Although a broker plays an important role in e-marketplaces, theory and guidelines for matching between buyers and sellers in multi-attribute exchanges are limited. Therefore, a challenge for a broker’s responsibility is how to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree as its goals under the consideration of trade-off between a buyer’s buying quantity and price paid to a seller, and other attributes. To solve this challenge, this paper proposes an economic model-based matching approach between a buyer’s requirements and a seller’s offers. The major contributions of this paper are that (i) a broker can model a seller’s price policy as per a buyer’s buying quantity through communication between a broker and a seller; (ii) due to each buyer’s different quantity demand, a broker models a buyer’s satisfaction degree as per a buyer’s buying quantity based on communication between a broker and a buyer; and (iii) to carry out a broker’s matching processes, an objective function and a set of constraints are generated to help a broker to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed approach.     

Synthesis and Largely Enhanced Nonlinear Refraction of Au@Cu_2O Core-Shell Nanorods

Au@Cu_2O core-shell nanorods with tunable thickness of Cu_2O shell were synthesized and their linear and nonlinear optical responses were investigated. Two transverse plasmon resonance peaks were observed when the Au nanorods were coated with Cu_2O shells, which were adjusted by the Cu_2O shell thickness. The nonlinear absorption of the Au@Cu_2O nanorods is enhanced by 5 times at the longitudinal plasmon resonance wavelength compared with that of bare Au nanorods. More intriguingly, largely enhanced nonlinear refraction and suppressed nonlinear absorption at the transverse plasmon resonance wavelength were observed in the Au@Cu_2O nanorods. Our findings indicate the existence of strong local field enhancement at the interface between the Au core and the Cu_2O shell, which would provide a promising strategy in designing plasmonic nonlinear nanodevices with good nonlinear figures of merit.     

话“术语哲学”

2003 年,国际术语学研究所举办了东西欧术语学基础理论比较研讨会,在此会议上,来自东、西欧的术语学研究者畅所欲言,对自20世纪30年代以来,在奥地利(代表欧洲中西部地区)和苏联等东欧国家逐渐发展起来的术语学理论进行了深入研讨。俄罗斯女学者阿莱克谢耶娃做了“术语学和哲学之间的相互影响”的主题发言,国际术语学研究所副所长布丁教授也以“对术语哲学的展望”为题做了演讲,它探究了术语学的哲学源头,分析了术语学理论与“知识工程”和“知识本体”的内在联系,以此作为对东欧学者的呼应。文章旨在介绍布丁教授这篇演讲里的重要观点,以期为广大读者充分了解术语学的理论基石提供途径。     

基于热中子探测评价裂缝的示踪剂特性研究

针对裂缝热中子示踪探测方法,从中子双组扩散理论入手结合蒙特卡洛数值模拟方法,分析压裂前后地层热中子分布影响因素,并模拟不同类型示踪剂及含量的热中子裂缝响应规律,筛选最佳示踪剂并给出其在支撑剂中含量的上、下限。结果表明:压裂前后热中子计数变化量主要受裂缝宽度和标记支撑剂中示踪剂含量的影响;钆对裂缝宽度变化反应最灵敏,钆元素是作为标记支撑剂的最佳示踪元素;随支撑剂中Gd 2O 3含量的增加,热中子计数率降低,热中子计数变化量D增加;示踪剂中氧化钆的上、下限值随裂缝宽度呈指数降低,且当裂缝宽度为1.0 cm时,Gd 2O 3的质量分数上限为0.68%,下限为0.03%。
