Determination of Trace Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals in Orange Juice Using the DC Plasma and the Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Techniques

Matrix effects in plasma spectroscopy have been measured in a simulated biological substrate. The authors show comparisons of such effects using both inductively coupled and direct current plasmas. The matrix influences are much more pronounced in direct current plasmas, but are also present when dealing with alkali metals in inductively coupled plasmas as well. The latter finding represents a particularly significant finding because it points the way to a method of determining alkali metals at levels of parts per billion.     

Mathematical models for job-shop scheduling problems with routing and process plan flexibility

As a result of rapid developments in production technologies in recent years, flexible job-shop scheduling problems have become increasingly significant. This paper deals with two NP-hard optimization problems: flexible job-shop scheduling problems (FJSPs) that encompass routing and sequencing sub-problems, and the FJSPs with process plan flexibility (FJSP-PPFs) that additionally include the process plan selection sub-problem. The study is carried out in two steps. In the first step, a mixed-integer linear programming model (MILP-1) is developed for FJSPs and compared to an alternative model in the literature (Model F) in terms of computational efficiency. In the second step, one other mixed-integer linear programming model, a modification of MILP-1, for the FJSP-PPFs is presented along with its computational results on hypothetically generated test problems.     

Electrical conduction mechanisms of thermally evaporated 5,10,15, 20-tetraphenyl-21H, 23H-porphine iron (III) chloride thin films

The J–V characteristics of the Au/5,10,15, 20-tetraphenyl-21H, 23H-porphine iron (III) chloride (FeTPPCl)/ITO device exhibits rectifying behavior in the dark which can be explained due to the formation of Schottky barrier at ITO/FeTPPCl junction and the typical junction parameters were estimated in temperatures from 302 to 368 K. The temperature dependence of DC electrical conductivity showed that FeTPPCl films behave as semiconducting materials. These results indicate that the DC electrical conduction is through an activated process having three conduction mechanisms in the investigated range of temperatures. A variable range hopping model, a polaron model and band to band transitions have been used to explain the conduction mechanisms for FeTPPCl films.     

Principal component analysis of the main factors of line intensity enhancements observed in oscillating direct current plasma

Enhancement of emission line intensities by induced oscillations of direct current (DC) arc plasma with continuous aerosol sample supply was investigated using multivariate statistics. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to evaluate enhancements of 34 atomic spectral lines belonging to 33 elements and 35 ionic spectral lines belonging to 23 elements. Correlation and classification of the elements were done not only by a single property such as the first ionization energy, but also by considering other relevant parameters. Special attention was paid to the influence of the oxide bond strength in an attempt to clarify/predict the enhancement effect. Energies of vaporization, atomization, and excitation were also considered in the analysis. In the case of atomic lines, the best correlation between the enhancements and first ionization energies was obtained as a negative correlation, with weak consistency in grouping of elements in score plots. Conversely, in the case of ionic lines, the best correlation of the enhancements with the sum of the first ionization energies and oxide bond energies was obtained as a positive correlation, with four distinctive groups of elements. The role of the gas-phase atom-oxide bond energy in the entire enhancement effect is underlined.

基于性能的直流电机系统未知推力波动的自适应补偿控制

针对一类直流电机系统,设计基于性能的未知推力波动的自适应补偿控制器.由于推力波动中含有非线性化的未知参数,因此无法利用常规的自适应方法,通过直接估计这些参数对其影响进行补偿.根据未知推力波动的结构特性,基于Lipshitz条件引入推力波动项的放大技术,设计其内部非线性化未知参数的自适应估计律,精确补偿其影响,从而避免了简单的把波动看作未知扰动所造成的系统性能的损失.有别于现有模型,在模型变换中并未忽略微小等效电感的影响,使得系统模型更具一般性.仿真结果表明该自适应控制器可有效补偿推力波动的影响,实现对指令信号的高精度快速跟踪且具有较强的抗干扰性和鲁棒性.     

Reliability tests for Weibull distribution with variational shape parameter based on sudden death lifetime data

In the traditional design of reliability tests for assuring the mean time to failure (MTTF) in Weibull distribution with shape and scale parameters, it has been assumed that the shape parameter in the acceptable and rejectable populations is the same fixed number. For the purpose of expanding applicability of the reliability testing, Hisada and Arizono have developed a reliability sampling scheme for assuring MTTF in the Weibull distribution under the conditions that shape parameters in the both populations do not necessarily coincide, and are specified as interval values, respectively. Then, their reliability test is designed using the complete lifetime data. In general, the reliability testing based on the complete lifetime data requires the long testing time. As a consequence, the testing cost becomes sometimes expensive. In this paper, for the purpose of an economical plan of the reliability test, we consider the sudden death procedure for assuring MTTF in Weibull distribution with variational shape parameter.
