装运铁矿石取样的最佳实践

商业交易的装运铁矿石取样应当按照ISO 3082进行.尽管近年来合规性已有所改善,但在一些方面仍存在明显问题,包括:1)大流量样品截取器的设计和操作;2)在二级取样阶段对一级增量样品的划分;3)缩分之前用于减小样品粒度的破碎机的破碎性能;4)在每个取样阶段保留的样品质量;5)样品缩分.取样是测量过程开始的地方,因此如果...     

A note on the Lipschitz continuity of the gradient of the squared norm of the matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function

Based on a formula of Tseng, we show that the squared norm of the matrix-valued Fischer-Burmeister function has a Lipschitz continuous gradient. These authors' research was partially supported by Grants R314-000-057/042-112 of the National University of Singapore.     

The structure-activity relationship of fire retardant phosphorus compounds in wood

Sawdust of Scots Pine sapwood was chemically modified with various alkyl- and phenylchlorophosphorus compounds. The formation of covalent bonds was confirmed with solid state CP-MAS ¹³C NMR.According to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), all phosphorus compounds decreased the temperature for the maximum rate of pyrolysis (from 350 °C to max. 240 °C) and increased the char formation (from 25% to max. 54%). Variation of the alkyl groups (C2-C8) had no significant effect. Phenylphosphates decrease the temperature of pyrolysis more efficiently than the alkyl analogues, due to higher thermal stability. The order in which the phenylphosphorus compounds affect the pyrolysis of the modified sawdust is consistent with their acidity order: organophosphate > organophosphonate ? organophosphinate.All phosphorus compounds used in this study reduce the equilibrium moisture content (EMC). Whereas the results obtained with the dialkyl phosphates are relatively poor, significant reductions in EMC can be achieved with the phenylphosphorus compounds.     

Sequences of vectors that are orbits of operators

This paper characterizes sequences of vectors that are the orbits of a linear operator and sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space that are orbits of a unitary operator. The latter is applied to time series. Sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space that generalize random walks are also shown to be the orbits of a bounded linear operator.     

Shape and slope measurement by source displacement in shearography

Shearography is a full field non-contact optical technique usually used to measure the gradient of the displacement of a surface subjected to thermal or mechanical loading. This paper describes the use of shearography for surface slope and shape measurement. Interferometric speckle patterns obtained before and after displacement of the optical source are correlated to yield correlation fringes which are, in general, a mixture of slope fringes and carrier fringes. This paper contains a full treatment of the sensitivity of slope fringes to the parameters; the illumination and the imaging geometry and the magnitude and the direction of the source displacement. The slope fringes are corrected for distortion, which is due to the necessary off-axis illumination, and are scaled using parameters calculated using a mathematical model. Experimentally generated phase-stepped slope fringes are unwrapped and integrated to recover the object shape.
