Electrochemical assessment of water|ionic liquid biphasic systems towards cesium extraction from nuclear waste

A room temperature ionic liquid (IL) composed of a quaternary alkylphosphonium (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium, P₆₆₆₁₄⁺) and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion (TB⁻) was employed within a water|P₆₆₆₁₄TB (w|P₆₆₆₁₄TB or w|IL) biphasic system to evaluate cesium ion extraction in comparison to that with a traditional water|organic solvent (w|o) combination. ¹³⁷Cs is a major contributor to the radioactivity of spent nuclear fuel as it leaves the reactor, and its extraction efficiency is therefore of considerable importance. The extraction was facilitated by the ligand octyl(phenyl)-N,N′-diisobutylcarbamoylphosphine oxide (CMPO) used in TRans-Uranium EXtraction processes and investigated through well established liquid|liquid electrochemistry. This study gave access to the metal ion to ligand (1:n) stoichiometry and overall complexation constant, β, of the interfacial complexation reaction which were determined to be 1:3 and 1.6 × 10¹¹ at the w|P₆₆₆₁₄TB interface while the study at w|o elicited an n equal to 1 with β equal to 86.5. Through a straightforward relationship, these complexation constant values were converted to distribution coefficients, δ_α, with the ligand concentrations studied for comparison to other studies present in the literature; the w|o and w|IL systems gave δ_α of 2 and 8.2 × 10⁷, respectively, indicating a higher overall extraction efficiency for the latter. For the w|o system, the metal ion-ligand stoichiometries were confirmed through isotopic distribution analysis of mass spectra obtained by the direct injection of an emulsified water–organic solvent mixture into an electron spray ionization mass spectrometer.     

过滤窗最小二乘支持向量机的混沌时间序列预测

传统的滑动窗策略只是简单且机械地将最远的数据移出窗口, 而将最近的数据移进窗口. 针对这种遗忘策略存在的缺陷, 提出了过滤窗策略. 过滤窗采用"优胜劣汰"的选择机制, 将对模型贡献比较大的数据留在窗口当中. 将过滤窗和最小二乘支持向量回归机相结合, 提出了过滤窗最小二乘支持向量回归机. 与滑动窗最小二乘支持向量回归机相比较, 过滤窗最小二乘支持向量回归机具有较小的计算量, 需要较短的窗口长度就能达到和滑动窗最小二乘支持向量回归机几乎相同的预测精度, 而较短的窗口长度又预示着较少的计算量和较好的实时性. 混沌时间序列在线建模和预测的实例表明了过滤窗最小二乘支持向量回归机的有效性和可行性. 关键词： 混沌时间序列 支持向量机 滑动窗 过滤窗

The Influence of Window Parameters on the Transmission Characteristics of Millimeter Waves

This work reports about the influence of some window parameters, such as the mechanical tolerance of disk thickness, the variation of distance between two disks, and the frequency drift during gyrotron operation on the transmission characteristics of millimeter waves. Detailed calculations of the transmission characteristics for a single-disk gyrotron window and frequency tunable double-disk plasma fusion torus windows have been performed. The geometry of the window units has been optimized in order to obtain a suitable transmission characteristic, i.e. power reflection less than –20 dB within a frequency bandwidth of about 1 GHz around the chosen frequencies.

Local bootstrap

The local bootstrap method draws bootstrap samples from a neighborhood of each data point. Unlike the common bootstrap, it is especially useful for heteroscedastic data. This paper considers local bootstrap of y for a data set {(x _i , y _i )} with the neighborhood defined by the window in a kernel regression model. It shows that for each x, the bootstrap distribution and moments converge almost surely to the true distribution and moments of y respectively, and this convergence is also uniform in x within the data set.
