Plant microremains provide direct evidence for the functions of stone knives from the Lajia site,northwestern China

A large number of stone knives have been recovered from Neolithic archaeological sites in East Asia. However, direct evidence regarding the functions of the stone knives has been scarce, and hence, their functions have remained controversial. In this study, we recovered and analysed ancient starch grains and phytoliths from residues adhering to stone knives excavated from the Lajia site, Qinghai Province, northwest China, thus providing direct evidence for the functions of the knives. Our anal- yses were based on the following： （1） an assemblage of 278 identifiable starch grains, representing grains from the stems of foxtail millet （Setaria italica） and broomcorn millet （Panicum miliaceum） （65.1% of the total） and the stems of Hordeum and Triticum species （3.6 % of the total）, and （2） an assemblage of 361 identifiable phytoliths, the majority of which were from the stems and leaves of plants such as Panicoideae and related taxa （96 % of the total）. Our study demonstrates that one of the functions of the stone knives was the harvesting crops. In addition, a few starch grains from food legumes and roots （3.4 % of the total） indicate that the stone knives were also likely used to process, peel and cut some foods.     

Al80Ni15-xY2Zr3Cux合金的非晶形成能力及其热稳定性分析

用单辊旋淬法制备了Al80Ni15-xY2Zr3Cux (x=1、3、4、6、7、9)铝基非晶条带,通过XRD和DSC等测试手段研究了合金体系的非晶形成能力和热稳定性.研究结果表明,该合金体系均具有一定的非晶形成能力,不同w(Cu)的体系的非晶形成能力和热稳定性有较大的差别,组分原子的相互匹配对合金体系的非晶形成能力起重要作用.当x=4时,体系具有最强的非晶形成能力,可形成完全非晶,其初始晶化温度为281.3 ℃.适当的w(Cu)的添加可提高体系的非晶形成能力,但过量铜会促使晶化相(如α-Al相)析出,随w(Cu)的增加,体系的热稳定性逐渐降低,体系的非晶形成能力与热稳定性不是同步变化的,是由不同的机理所决定.     

Effect of microstructure on the impact toughness of a bainitic steel bloom for large plastic molds

The correlation between the impact toughness and microstructural characteristics of a large bainitic steel bloom has been investigated. The study focuses on microcrack nucleation and propagation in the basic cleavage plane. To analyze the phase transformation during the wind-cooling process, the temperature field of the bloom was acquired by computer simulation, and a continuous cooling transformation experiment was conducted. The results show that compared with the surface of the bloom, the toughness of the bloom’s core is decreased by the increase in proeutectoid ferrite and the coarsening of tempered martensite–austenite constituents. The proeutectoid ferrite decreases the toughness via its effects on carbide precipitation, the formation of martensite–austenite constituents, and the bainite transformation. The relatively large tempered martensite–austenite constituents are conducive to microcrack nucleation and propagation.

非晶态合金钎料真空钎焊接头组织研究

研究了铜的添加对Ｎｉ－Ｃｒ－Ｂ－Ｓｉ系非晶态箔状合金钎料真空钎焊１Ｃｒ１８Ｎｉ９Ｔｉ母材的钎缝的组织特征和临界钎焊间隙（ＣＢＣ）值的影响规律,并与相同成分的晶态粉状钎料进行了对比．结果表明：在钎焊工艺规范确定的情况下,随着钎料中铜的质量分数的增大,钎缝中固溶体含量增加,脆性相厚度减小,钎焊接头的ＣＢＣ值增大;非晶态钎料钎焊接头中的元素和组织分布比较均匀,其ＣＢＣ值较晶态的大．     

Image Compression Based on LSS Algorithm

1. INTRODUCTIONThe lifting scheme is a second-generation wavelet transform and an efficient implementationof a wavelet transform algorithm. The inverse transform is easy to find and always providesperfect reconstruction of the input data. All classical wavelet transforms can be implemelltedusing the lifting scheme by a factorization in lifting steps. The theory behind the type of thefirst-generation wavelet transform relies greatly on Fburier analysis, while the lifting schemecan be used …
