Methods to Study Naphthenate Formation in w/o Emulsions by the Use of a Tetraacid Model Compound

Precipitation of naphthenate salts is normally a problem in the processing of acidic crude oils. In this study, the goal was to find suitable methods to investigate the interfacial reaction between tetraacid and calcium under emulsified conditions. Two different systems have been studied depending on composition and applied shear. The influence of inhibitors has been investigated and the same inhibitor was found to be the most effective one regardless of the system. Depletion of tetraacid in the oil phase was analyzed with UV-vis and HPLC. Interfacial area and droplet size in the emulsions were measured with fluorescence microscope and pulse-field gradient NMR. Since this reaction takes place over the interface, the investigation clearly documents, the importance of the total interfacial area of the emulsified system.     

华南沿海黄色粉土沉积的激光粒度分析及其成因讨论

在华南沿海地区的低矮丘陵及台地上，广泛发育一套黄色粉土堆积。对该区7个典型剖面进行系统的激光粒度分析，并与典型黄土以及研究区常见的海、河相沉积进行对比。结果表明，华南沿海各黄色粉土剖面均以10～50 μm的粗粉砂为众数粒组，<5 μm的粘粒为次众粒组，分别对应风成黄土的“基本粒组”和“挟持粒组”，岩性均属于粘土质粉砂。样品的粒度参数、粒度散点图、频率分布曲线、粒度指数特征均显示为典型的风成成因。粒度判别分析结果为负值，同样证实了黄色粉土的风成特性。华南沿海黄色粉土的各项粒度特征指标及其所反映的沉积类型、沉积环境均与我国典型黄土具有较好的可比性，而与研究区的海、河相沉积截然不同。     

Numerical models for vehicle exhaust dispersion in complex urban areas

Two numerical models are presented for predicting vehicle exhaust dispersion in complex urban areas with or without the wind field. The models not only reflect the effect of building and street canyon configuration on the pollutant propagation, but also are able to predict the turbulent energy produced by moving vehicles on the road. In particular, in the discrete model, turbulent energy and pollutant concentration produced by each vehicle are dynamically described in the Lagrangian method. The pollutant propagation is calculated with the advection–diffusion equation. The Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations are numerically solved for the wind flows. The movement and heat release rate of the vehicles are treated as sources of the turbulent energy equation for the computation of turbulent energy produced by the moving vehicles. This paper reports the detailed implementation of the models. Four typical numerical tests were carried out to represent the performance of the proposed numerical models.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of voice onset by means of a multidimensional voice analysis system (MVAS) using high-speed imaging

High-speed filming is one of the most informative methods for assessing voice physiology data. Tracing high-speed images of the glottis provides quantitative parameters such as the glottal area and the glottal width function. By way of example, a number of studies are discussed which extract quantitative data from high-speed images showing voice onsets. Furthermore, a new computer system (MVAS; multi-dimensional voice analysis system) is presented that synchronously displays a laryngoscopic high-speed film, the electroglottographical signal, and several acoustic analyses of the recorded voice sample. The automatic measurement of glottal width and glottal area from the laryngoscopic images is also provided. Looking at former studies and our analyses of voice onsets reveals a tremendous intersubject and even intrasubject variability (different prephonatory closure, different time span until full amplitude is reached, different open quotient).

Assessment of fast and thermal neutron ambient dose equivalents around the KFUPM neutron source storage area using nuclear track detectors

A set of five ²⁴¹Am–Be neutron sources are utilized in research and teaching at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). Three of these sources have an activity of 16 Ci each and the other two are of 5 Ci each. A well-shielded storage area was designed for these sources. The aim of the study is to check the effectiveness of shielding of the KFUPM neutron source storage area. Poly allyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) Nuclear track detectors (NTDs) based fast and thermal neutron area passive dosimeters have been utilized side by side for 33 days to assess accumulated low ambient dose equivalents of fast and thermal neutrons at 30 different locations around the source storage area and adjacent rooms. Fast neutron measurements have been carried out using bare NTDs, which register fast neutrons through recoils of protons, in the detector material. NTDs were mounted with lithium tetra borate (Li₂B₄O₇) converters on their surfaces for thermal neutron detection via and nuclear reactions. The calibration factors of NTD both for fast and thermal neutron area passive dosimeters were determined using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) with and without a polyethylene moderator. The calibration factors for fast and thermal neutron area passive dosimeters were found to be 1.33 proton tracks and 31.5 alpha tracks , respectively. The results show variations of accumulated dose with the locations around the storage area. The fast neutron dose equivalents rates varied from as low as up to whereas those for thermal neutron ranged from as low as up to . The study indicates that the area passive neutron dosimeter was able to detect dose rates as low as 7 and from accumulated dose for thermal and fast neutrons, respectively, which were not possible to detect with the available active neutron dosimeters.     

面积,行列式,积分因子和Green公式

利用二阶行列式的几何意义是有向面积及积分因子的存在性给Green公式一个新的证明.尽管技术上走得远了些,但从概念上揭示了Green公式异常简明的几何意义,即Green公式只是面积的两种不同表达方式.同时这也蕴含了一个更深刻的哲学含义,即一般性隐含于特殊性(或特例)之中.     

拟共形映照的双曲面积偏差估计

The distortion property of hyperbolic area of planar quasiconformal mappings is studied in this paper.In the case of radial quasiconformal mappings and angular deformed quasiconformal mappings their hyperbolic area distortions are estimated quite sharply.The result can be applied to judge whether the hyperbolic area of a planar subset is explodable.
