Asymptotic convergence of solutions for Laplace reaction–diffusion equations

We study the initial–boundary value problem for a Laplace reaction–diffusion equation. After constructing local solutions by using the theory of abstract degenerate evolution equations of parabolic type, we show asymptotic convergence of bounded global solutions if they exist under the assumption that the reaction function is analytic in neighborhoods of their $\omega$-limit sets. Reduction of degenerate evolution equation to multivalued evolution equation enables us to use the theory of the infinite-dimensional Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality.

An Improved Composite Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy for Feature Extraction of MI-EEG

Motor Imagery Electroencephalography (MI-EEG) has shown good prospects in neurorehabilitation, and the entropy-based nonlinear dynamic methods have been successfully applied to feature extraction of MI-EEG. Especially based on Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy (MFE), the fuzzy entropies of the τ coarse-grained sequences in τ scale are calculated and averaged to develop the Composite MFE (CMFE) with more feature information. However, the coarse-grained process fails to match the nonstationary characteristic of MI-EEG by a mean filtering algorithm. In this paper, CMFE is improved by assigning the different weight factors to the different sample points in the coarse-grained process, i.e., using the weighted mean filters instead of the original mean filters, which is conductive to signal filtering and feature extraction, and the resulting personalized Weighted CMFE (WCMFE) is more suitable to represent the nonstationary MI-EEG for different subjects. All the WCMFEs of multi-channel MI-EEG are fused in serial to construct the feature vector, which is evaluated by a back-propagation neural network. Based on a public dataset, extensive experiments are conducted, yielding a relatively higher classification accuracy by WCMFE, and the statistical significance is examined by two-sample t-test. The results suggest that WCMFE is superior to the other entropy-based and traditional feature extraction methods.     

Amorphous silicon hexaboride at high pressure

ABSTRACT

We investigate the pressure-induced structural phase transformation of amorphous silicon hexaboride (a-SiB₆) using a constant pressure first principles approach. a-SiB₆ is found to undergo a gradual phase transformation to a high-density amorphous phase (HDA) in which the average coordination number of both B and Si atoms is about 6. The HDA phase consists of differently coordinated motifs ranging from 4 to 8. B₁₂ icosahedra are found to persist during compression of a-SiB₆ and the structural modifications primarily occur around Si atoms and in the regions linking pentagonal pyramid-like configurations to each other. Upon pressure release, an amorphous structure, similar to the uncompressed one, is recovered, indicating a reversible amorphous-to-amorphous phase change in a-SiB_6. When the electronic structure is considered, the HDA phase is perceived to have a wider forbidden band gap than the uncompressed one.     

福建登陆北上台风对杭州影响的对比分析

利用自动站观测资料、探空资料和全球预测系统（global forecast system，GFS）分析资料，结合统计分析、合成分析、对比分析以及物理量诊断等方法，对5个福建登陆北上并严重影响杭州的台风进行了分析，结果表明：（1）福建登陆北上影响杭州的5个台风可以分为两类，一类是福建登陆北上越过30°N（北上台风），另一类是刚进入浙南就减弱为低压（1010号莫兰蒂台风）。北上台风对杭州造成了大风和暴雨双重影响，而1010号莫兰蒂台风主要带来的是暴雨。（2）在北上台风对杭州产生较大影响时，其合成台风中心位于福建中部地区，东南风低空急流和偏南风低空急流显著，杭州处于台风环流第一象限两支急流的交汇处，利于产生暴雨、大风；而在1010号莫兰蒂台风对杭州产生较大影响时已减弱为热带低压环流，其北部倒槽与西风带冷空气相结合是产生特大暴雨的主要原因，低压环流与副高之间的偏南风急流也有利于暴雨形成。（3）两类台风虽然部分指数和空间热动力结构相近，但北上台风的水汽条件和动力条件更好，而1010号莫兰蒂台风在冷空气切入和斜压性增强作用下，具备更高的对流有效位能，出现对流性强降水的可能性更大。

Improving breakdown strength and energy storage efficiency of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) and polyurea blend films by double layer structure design

All-organic composites are widely used in energy storage application due to the high breakdown strength performance, but the improvement of energy storage was limited by the relatively low dielectric constant. Therefore, to satisfy the high demands of dielectric materials, energy storage properties of polymer composites should be further enhanced. In this article, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-CTFE)) and polyurea (PUA), which are known as high dielectric ferroelectric material and linearly high energy storage efficiency material respectively, are composited through double layer (DL) casting method for the first time. The properties of DL structured composite film is contrasted with solution blending structure especially in energy storage efficiency, and the results demonstrate that DL structure design can make great use of advantages of two materials and also can avoid the influence of phase separation between P(VDF-CTFE) and PUA efficiently. Moreover, high breakdown strength (6180 kV/cm) and high energy storage efficiency (77%) of DL composites can be realized simultaneously by incorporating PUA as an insulating layer, and the mechanism is discussed in detail. This work provides an effective route to improve the energy storage properties of polymer dielectric materials and shows great application potential.     

Mechanical characterization of a new Kevlar/Flax/epoxy hybrid composite in a sandwich structure

Natural fibers are inexpensive, biodegradable, and have similar specific properties to some synthetic fibers. Hardly any previous investigations exist of a composite made of multiple layers of pure Kevlar fiber fabric and pure Flax fiber fabric in a “sandwich structure”, but it only measured impact properties. The composite was made of 12 Flax/epoxy layers at the core in 3 possible configurations (i.e. [0]_12F, [0/90]_6F, or [±45]_6F) that were sandwiched by 2 Kevlar/epoxy layers (i.e. plain weave) on each side. This study showed maximum change in the mechanical properties with respect to Flax/Epoxy for tension (+137.85% in E_T, and +171.22% in σ_UT), compression (+171.22% in E_c, and −10.6% in σ_UC), 3-point bending (−11.54% in E_B, and +2.19 in σ_UB), torsion (−5.31% in G, and 395.82% in τ), and water absorption (60.04%). This novel hybrid composite may be useful for research and industry applications.
