在超声波流量计测量技术中, 雷诺修正系数相关的研究对于提高计量精度有重要作用. 为研究矩形流道的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的关系, 对矩形流道在常温常压流量较小情况下进行仿真, 结果发现: 矩形流道层流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈线性相关. 保持压强、体积流量不变, 在不同温度下进行仿真及拟合, 结果表明: 在不同温度下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的线性关系依然满足. 在上述实验基础上, 对矩形流道湍流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数关系进行研究, 通过改变温度、压强和体积流量进行仿真及拟合发现, 矩形流道湍流状态下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈非线性相关.     

Comparison study of exchange-correlation functionals on prediction of ground states and structural properties

Despite significant advances in first-principles calculation methods, there is no single exchange-correlation functional which predicts the ground state of materials without an error yet. We investigated how accurately ground states of binary semiconductors are described using 16 exchange-correlation functionals (with or without van der Waals corrections). LDA, PBEsol, SCAN (with or without rVV10 correction), and PBE with D3 van der Waals correction (zero or Becke-Johnson damping) show good predicting power. The lattice constants of stable phases were slightly better described by SCAN, PBEsol, PBE+D3 (Becke-Johnson damping), and MS2. We also propose a set of functionals to double-check the stability of new materials based on the majority vote.     

Direct visualization of structural defects in 2D semiconductors

Direct visualization of the structural defects in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors at a large scale plays a significant role in understanding their electrical/optical/magnetic properties, but is challenging. Although traditional atomic resolution imaging techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, can directly image the structural defects, they provide only local-scale information and require complex setups. Here, we develop a simple, non-invasive wet etching method to directly visualize the structural defects in 2D semiconductors at a large scale, including both point defects and grain boundaries. Utilizing this method, we extract successfully the defects density in several different types of monolayer molybdenum disulfide samples, providing key insights into the device functions. Furthermore, the etching method we developed is anisotropic and tunable, opening up opportunities to obtain exotic edge states on demand.     

紫色球杆菌视紫红质光谱特性的机器学习研究

近年来，机器学习等人工智能技术被应用于蛋白质工程，其在蛋白质结构、功能预测、催化活性等研究中具有独特优势。在未知蛋白质结构的情况下，将蛋白质序列和功能特性与机器学习相结合，基于序列-活性关系（innovative sequence-activity relationship，ISAR）算法，将蛋白质氨基酸序列数字化，用快速傅里叶变换（fast four transform，FFT）进行预处理，再进行偏最小二乘回归建模，可在数据集较少情况下拟合得到最佳模型。通过机器学习对紫色球杆菌视紫红质（gloeobacter violaceus rhodopsin，GR）的突变体蛋白质氨基酸序列与光谱最大吸收波长进行建模，获得了最佳模型。用最佳索引LEVM760106建模得到的确定系数R² 为0.944，均方误差E为11.64。用小波变换进行的预处理，其R² 虽也约为0.944，但E大于11.64，不及FFT进行的预处理。方法较好地解决了蛋白质序列与功能特性之间的数学建模问题，在蛋白质工程中可为预测更优的突变体提供支持。     

离子液体溶胀对煤直接液化残渣结构及热解性能的影响

采用四种相同阴离子不同有机链长阳离子的离子液体([EMIM][MeSO_4]、[BMIM][MeSO_4]、[HMIM][MeSO_4]和[OMIM][MeSO_4])对煤直接液化残渣(DCLR)进行溶胀处理,通过SEM、FT-IR和TG-DTG表征,分析了各离子液体溶胀对煤直接液化残渣溶胀效果、表面形貌、官能团分布、主体结构和热解性能的影响。溶胀结果表明,不同链长离子液体对煤直接液化残渣具有不同的溶胀效果,[HMIM][MeSO_4]对残渣溶胀效果最好,其溶胀度高达1.78。FT-IR表明,不同链长离子液体会不同程度地破坏煤中C-H键,使得脂肪族和芳香族类化合物的相对含量有所差异。由TG-DTG可知,不同链长离子液体溶胀对残渣热解性能的影响具有较大差异,其中,以离子液体[OMIM][MeSO_4]溶胀对残渣的热解最为有利,失重率高达47.5%;而离子液体[BMIM][MeSO_4]溶胀在一定程度上抑制了残渣的热解,其失重率低于未经溶胀处理的残渣。基于Coats-Redfern法的热解动力学分析表明,煤直接液化残渣及其溶胀残渣在低温段(180-480℃)的热解过程均符合二级反应动力学,高温段(480-825℃)均以三级和四级反应动力学为宜。另外,不同链长离子液体溶胀处理明显改变了残渣的热解活化能,其链越长残渣的热解活化能越高。     

An improved evaluation of the neutron background in the PandaX-Ⅱ experiment

In dark matter direct detection experiments,neutron is a serious source of background,which can mimic the dark matter-nucleus scattering signals.In this paper,we present an improved evaluation of the neutron background in the PandaX-II dark matter experiment by a novel approach.Instead of fully relying on the Monte Carlo simulation,the overall neutron background is determined from the neutron-induced high energy signals in the data.In addition,the probability of producing a dark-matter-like background per neutron is evaluated with a complete Monte Carlo generator,where the correlated emission of neutron(s)andγ(s)in the(α,n)reactions and spontaneous fissions is taken into consideration.With this method,the neutron backgrounds in the Run 9(26-ton-day)and Run 10(28-ton-day)data sets of PandaX-II are estimated to be(0.66±0.24)and(0.47±0.25)events,respectively.

Generating Artificial Reverberation via Genetic Algorithms for Real-Time Applications

We introduce a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) 2 audio effect plugin that performs convolution reverb using synthetic Room Impulse Responses (RIRs) generated via a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The parameters of the plugin include some of those defined under the ISO 3382-1 standard (e.g., reverberation time, early decay time, and clarity), which are used to determine the fitness values of potential RIRs so that the user has some control over the shape of the resulting RIRs. In the GA, these RIRs are initially generated via a custom Gaussian noise method, and then evolve via truncation selection, random weighted average crossover, and mutation via Gaussian multiplication in order to produce RIRs that resemble real-world, recorded ones. Binaural Room Impulse Responses (BRIRs) can also be generated by assigning two different RIRs to the left and right stereo channels. With the proposed audio effect, new RIRs that represent virtual rooms, some of which may even be impossible to replicate in the physical world, can be generated and stored. Objective evaluation of the GA shows that contradictory combinations of parameter values will produce RIRs with low fitness. Additionally, through subjective evaluation, it was determined that RIRs generated by the GA were still perceptually distinguishable from similar real-world RIRs, but the perceptual differences were reduced when longer execution times were used for generating the RIRs or the unprocessed audio signals were comprised of only speech.
