Cr(VI) and Cu(II) removal from aqueous solution in fixed bed column using rice bran; experimental,statistical and GA modelling

Rice bran, a green and low-cost adsorbent, is used for Chromium (VI) and Copper (II) remotion from its aqueous solution. The influence of different process parameters in a fixed-bed on the removing efficiency has been investigated. The results show that the removal efficiency is higher at a minimum flow rate, low metal ion concentration, and higher bed height. The adsorption studies show that the rice bran has a better affinity to Chromium (VI) than Copper (II). Different kinetic models are used for the prediction of the column performance. This study shows that rice bran could be a potential and eco-friendly adsorbent for chromium (VI) and copper (II) removal and is suitable for developing countries like India. Multiple linear regression and ANN-based genetic algorithm modelling have been applied successfully to predict both metal ions' percentage removal separately.     

装备使用与保障研究数据的生成方法研究

装备使用与保障数据是开展装备科学研究的重要依据,而由于管理不善、保密、样本过少等原因常常导致相关数据缺少应有的积累,无法满足实际研究的需要。为了克服这一困难,文章提出通过算法生成数据予以解决。首先根据数据的应用特性,将装备使用与保障数据看作简单数据、规律已知数据和规律未知数据三类,分别制定生成策略。对于简单数据和规律已知数据,通过已有的商用软件或简单的自定义方法生成;对于规律未知数据,采用模式注入或特性继承的方法生成。在某大型装备管理综合信息系统的设计开发中,对这些生成方法进行了工程实践,结果表明了方法的正确性和可行性。     

Performance improvement of amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide ReRAM with SiO2 inserting layer

In this study, the resistive switching performance of amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide (a-IGZO) resistive switching random-access memory (ReRAM) was improved by inserting a thin silicon oxide layer between silver (Ag) top electrode and a-IGZO resistive switching layer. Compared with the single a-IGZO layer structure, the SiO₂/a-IGZO bi-layer structure exhibits the higher On/Off resistance ratio larger than 10³, and the lower operation power using a smaller SET compliance current. In addition, good endurance and excellent retention characteristics were achieved. Furthermore, multilevel resistance states are obtained through adjusting SET compliance current and RESET stop voltage, which shows a promise for high-performance nonvolatile multilevel memory application.     

Molten-Salt-Assisted Synthesis of Bismuth Nanosheets for Long-term Continuous Electrocatalytic Conversion of CO2 to Formate

Two-dimensional (2D) monometallic pnictogens (antimony or Sb, and bismuth or Bi) nanosheets demonstrate potential in a variety of fields, including quantum devices, catalysis, biomedicine and energy, because of their unique physical, chemical, electronic and optical properties. However, the development of general and high-efficiency preparative routes toward high-quality pnictogen nanosheets is challenging. A general method involving a molten-salt-assisted aluminothermic reduction process is reported for the synthesis of Sb and Bi nanosheets in high yields (>90 %). Electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction was investigated on the Bi nanosheets, and high catalytic selectively to formate was demonstrated with a considerable current density at a low overpotential and an impressive stability. Bi nanosheets continuously convert CO₂ into formate in a flow cell operating for one month, with a yield rate of 787.5 mmol cm⁻² h⁻¹. Theoretical results suggest that the edge sites of Bi are far more active than the terrace sites.     

Integral closure,basically full closure,and duals of nonresidual closure operations

We develop a duality for operations on nested pairs of modules that generalizes the duality between absolute interior operations and residual closure operations from [5], extending our previous results to the expanded context. We apply this duality in particular to integral and basically full closures and their respective cores to obtain integral and basically empty interiors and their respective hulls. We also dualize some of the known formulas for the core of an ideal to obtain formulas for the hull of a submodule of the injective hull of the residue field. The article concludes with illustrative examples in a numerical semigroup ring.     

Short Tm3+-doped fiber lasers with watt-level output near 2 μm

High-power operation of diode-pumped fiber lasers at wavelength near 2μm are demonstrated with short length of heavily Tm3 -doped silica glass fibers. With 7-cm long fiber, a laser at near 2 μm is obtained with the threshold of 135 mW, maximum output power of 1.09 W, and slope efficiency of 9.6% with respect to the launched power from a laser diode at 790 nm. The output stability of this fiber laser is within 5%.The dependence of the performance of fiber lasers on the operation temperature and cavity configuration parameters is also investigated.     

Controlled remote implementation of partially unknown quantum operation

A protocol for controlled remote implementation of a partially unknown operation on an arbitrary quantum state is proposed. In this protocol, a task can be performed using a GHZ state shared among three distant parties: Alice, Bob and the controller Charlie. This protocol is also generalized to the multi-party control system based on sharing an N-qubit GHZ state.

Harmonic operation of high gain harmonic generation free electron laser

In high gain harmonic generation (HGHG) free electron laser (FEL), with the right choice of parameters of the modulator undulator, the dispersive section and the seed laser, one may make the spatial bunching of the electron beam density distribution correspond to one of the harmonic frequencies of the radiator radiation, instead of the fundamental frequency of the radiator radiation in conventional HGHG, thus the radiator undulator is in harmonic operation (HO) mode. In this paper, we investigate HO of HGHG FEL.Theoretical analyses with universal method are derived and numerical simulations in ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet spectral regions are given. It shows that the power of the 3rd harmonic radiation in the HO of HGHG may be as high as 18.5% of the fundamental power level. Thus HO of HGHG FEL may obtain short wavelength by using lower beam energy.     

Dynamics of implicit operations and tameness of pseudovarieties of groups

This work gives a new approach to the construction of implicit operations. By considering ``higher-dimensional' spaces of implicit operations and implicit operators between them, the projection of idempotents back to one-dimensional spaces produces implicit operations with interesting properties. Besides providing a wealth of examples of implicit operations which can be obtained by these means, it is shown how they can be used to deduce from results of Ribes and Zalesski, Margolis, Sapir and Weil, and Steinberg that the pseudovariety of -groups is tame. More generally, for a recursively enumerable extension closed pseudovariety of groups , if it can be decided whether a finitely generated subgroup of the free group with the pro- topology is dense, then is tame.
