We present a detailed model of collaboration in communities of practice and we examine its dynamic consequences for the group as a whole. We establish the existence of a novel mechanism that allows the community to naturally adapt to growth, specialization, or changes in the environment without the need for central controls. This mechanism relies on the appearance of a dynamic instability that initiates an exploration of novel interactions, eventually leading to higher performance for the community as a whole. 相似文献

In this paper, we study travelling front solutions of a vector disease model incorporating time delays and diffusion. Special attention is paid to the modelling of the time delays to incorporate the associated non-local spatial terms which account for the drift of individuals to their present positions from their possible positions at previous times. We shall show that such fronts exist for the weak generic delay kernel and sufficiently small delays by using geometric singular perturbation theory. Then, for the discrete-delay case, following Canosa’s asymptotic analysis method, we give some information on travelling front solutions. 相似文献

In this paper, we model water injection through a growing vertical hydrofracture penetrating a low-permeability reservoir. The results are useful in oilfield waterflood applications and in liquid waste disposal through reinjection. Using Duhamel's principle, we extend the Gordeyev and Entov (1997) self-similar 2D solution of pressure diffusion from a growing fracture to the case of variable injection pressure. The flow of water injected into a low-permeability rock is almost perpendicular to the fracture for a time sufficiently long to be of practical interest. We revisit Carter's model of 1D fluid injection (Howard and Fast, 1957) and extend it to the case of variable injection pressure. We express the cumulative injection through the injection pressure and effective fracture area. Maintaining fluid injection above a reasonable minimal value leads inevitably to fracture growth regardless of the injector design and the injection policy. The average rate of fracture growth can be predicted from early injection. A smart injection controller that can prevent rapid fracture growth is needed. 相似文献

We report a carbon–air battery for power generation based on a solid‐oxide fuel cell (SOFC) integrated with a ceramic CO2‐permeable membrane. An anode‐supported tubular SOFC functioned as a carbon fuel container as well as an electrochemical device for power generation, while a high‐temperature CO2‐permeable membrane composed of a CO32? mixture and an O2? conducting phase (Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9) was integrated for in situ separation of CO2 (electrochemical product) from the anode chamber, delivering high fuel‐utilization efficiency. After modifying the carbon fuel with a reverse Boudouard reaction catalyst to promote the in situ gasification of carbon to CO, an attractive peak power density of 279.3 mW cm?2 was achieved for the battery at 850 °C, and a small stack composed of two batteries can be operated continuously for 200 min. This work provides a novel type of electrochemical energy device that has a wide range of application potentials. 相似文献

SrNb0.1Co0.7Fe0.2O3−δ Perovskite as a Next‐Generation Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution in Alkaline Solution 下载免费PDF全文
Yinlong Zhu Prof. Wei Zhou Dr. Zhi‐Gang Chen Yubo Chen Dr. Chao Su Prof. Moses O. Tadé Prof. Zongping Shao 《Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)》2015,54(13):3897-3901
The perovskite SrNb0.1Co0.7Fe0.2O3?δ (SNCF) is a promising OER electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), with remarkable activity and stability in alkaline solutions. This catalyst exhibits a higher intrinsic OER activity, a smaller Tafel slope and better stability than the state‐of‐the‐art precious‐metal IrO2 catalyst and the well‐known BSCF perovskite. The mass activity and stability are further improved by ball milling. Several factors including the optimized eg orbital filling, good ionic and charge transfer abilities, as well as high OH? adsorption and O2 desorption capabilities possibly contribute to the excellent OER activity. 相似文献

Abrupt phenomena in modelling real-world systems such as chemical processes indicate the importance of investigating stiff
systems. However, it is difficult to get the solution of a stiff system analytically or numerically. Two such types of stiff
systems describing chemical reactions were modelled in this paper. A numerical method was proposed for solving these stiff
systems, which have general nonlinear terms such as exponential function. The technique of dealing with the nonlinearity was
based on the Wavelet-Collocation method, which converts differential equations into a set of algebraic equations. Accurate
and convergent numerical solutions to the stiff systems were obtained. We also compared the new results to those obtained
by the Euler method and 4th order Runge–Kutta method. 相似文献

Solution combustion synthesis of Co oxide-based catalysts for phenol degradation in aqueous solution
Liang H Ting YY Sun H Ang HM Tadé MO Wang S 《Journal of colloid and interface science》2012,372(1):58-62
Solution combustion using urea as a fuel was employed to synthesise Co oxide and Al(2)O(3)-, SiO(2)- and TiO(2)-supported Co oxide catalysts. The catalysts were characterised using several techniques such as N(2) adsorption/desorption, XRD, FTIR, UV-vis diffuse reflectance and SEM-EDX, and their catalytic activity was evaluated in phenol degradation in aqueous solution with sulphate radicals. Solution combustion is a simple and effective method in preparation of supported Co catalysts. Co(3)O(4) was the major Co crystal phase in the samples prepared via the combustion synthesis. Bulk Co(3)O(4) particles were not effective in reaction, but supported Co oxides showed higher activity than unsupported Co oxide. The supports influenced Co dispersion and catalytic activity. Co/TiO(2) exhibited the highest activity, but it deactivated much faster than other two supported catalysts. Co/SiO(2) showed a comparable activity to Co/Al(2)O(3) and the best stability among the three Al(2)O(3)-, SiO(2)- and TiO(2)-supported Co catalysts. 相似文献

Water imbibition is a critical mechanism of secondary oil recovery from fractured reservoirs. Spontaneous imbibition also plays a significant role in storage of liquid waste by controlling the extent of rock invasion. In the present paper, we extend a model of countercurrent imbibition based on Barenblatt's theory of non-equilibrium two-phase flow by allowing the model's relaxation time to be a function of the wetting fluid saturation. We obtain two asymptotic self-similar solutions, valid at early and late times, respectively. At a very early stage, the time scale characterizing the cumulative volume of imbibed (and expelled) fluid is a power function with exponent between 1.5 and 1. At a later stage, the time scaling for this volume approaches asymptotically classical square root of time, whereas the saturation profile asymptotically converges to Ryzhik's self-similar solution. Our conclusions are verified against experiments. By fitting the laboratory data, we estimate the characteristic relaxation times for different pairs of liquids. 相似文献

New biphenyl-based chimeric compounds containing pomalidomide were developed and evaluated for their activity to inhibit and degrade the programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death- ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) complex. Most of the compounds displayed excellent inhibitory activity against PD-1/PD-L1, as assessed by the homogenous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) binding assay. Among them, compound 3 is one of the best with an IC50 value of 60 nM. Using an ex vivo PD-1/PD-L1 blockade cell line bioassay that expresses human PD-1 and PD-L1, we show that compounds 4 and 5 significantly restore the repressed immunity in this co-culture model. Western blot data, however, demonstrated that these anti-PD-L1/pomalidomide chimeras could not reduce the protein levels of PD-L1. 相似文献
