采用DV-Xα方法对多孔硅形成过程中位于表层的B和P杂质原子的作用进行研究,结果表明位于顶层硅原子层中的B和P杂质原子均可削弱其邻近的Si-Si键强度,因而可能导致出现腐蚀的突破点,再通过分析杂质对表面区势场的改变,可以认为位于顶层硅原子层中的B杂质原子产生腐蚀的突破点的可能性更大。 关键词：

Chaos suppression in a fractional order financial system using intelligent regrouping PSO based fractional fuzzy control policy in the presence of fractional Gaussian noise

Financial systems are known to have irregular and erratic fluctuations due to diverse influences and often result in economic crisis and huge financial losses. Recent models of financial systems show that they behave chaotically and have long range memory dependence. Mitigating these undesirable chaotic natures of financial systems by appropriate control policies is important in order to reduce investment risks and improve economic performance. In this paper, a fractional order fuzzy control policy is employed to suppress the chaotic dynamics of a representative chaotic fractional order financial system. An intelligent Regrouping Particle Swarm Optimization (Reg-PSO) is used to design the numeric weights of the control policy and the methodology is demonstrated by credible simulations. The designed fractional fuzzy control policies are shown to work well with respect to conventional fuzzy control policies in the presence of persistent and anti-persistent noise, which can be due to additional extraneous influences on the system.     

An improved generalized predictive control algorithm based on the difference equation CARIMA model for the SISO system with known strong interference

ABSTRACT

The single input single output (SISO) system with known strong interference is widely used in various occasions. Due to its strong interference, the control accuracy is hard to guarantee. To solve this problem, an improved generalized predictive control (IGPC) algorithm is developed. The IGPC firstly builds the difference equation CARIMA (Controlled Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving-Average) model of the SISO system and then treats the system as a two input single output (TISO) system and calculates its predictive vector, then transforms it into a SISO system and uses the TISO system predictive vector to calculate the SISO system control increment. A new parameter called phase coefficient is added to inhibit the control lag. Simulations are performed to make the comparison among the traditional GPC, PID control, velocity synchronization control (VSC), fuzzy adaptive PID control (FAPID), model-based robust PID control (BPID) and the IGPC. Results show that IGPC has best performance compared to the others. Finally, experiments are developed which proved that the IGPC algorithm has a higher accuracy in the SISO system with known strong interference than that of VSC.     

Comparative XPS study between experimentally and naturally weathered pyrites

A comparative study has been carried out between experimentally and naturally weathered pyrites. Both were found to share similar species of weathering products and a similar weathering mechanism. The weathering products could be divided into sulphur-bearing or iron-bearing groups. The sulphur-bearing group was comprised of sulphate, sulphite, thiosulphate, elemental sulphur, polysulphide, and mono-sulphide. The iron-bearing group was comprised of goethite, hematite or magnetite, and iron sulphate. The weathering structural profile was also similar for both types of weathering, being composed of a surficial layer and a transitional layer. The surficial layer was made up of both the sulphur-bearing and the iron-bearing products, while the transitional layer was comprised of goethite, and hematite or magnetite. The inward migration of the weathering interface was stimulated by the diffusion of oxygen and moisture. The oxygen was considered to preferably squeeze the iron to form goethite, and the ferric ions of goethite to have acted as a bridge for electron transfer between the oxygen and bulk S₂²⁻ and Fe²⁺ of pyrite.     

A cosmological study in massive gravity theory

A detailed study of the various cosmological aspects in massive gravity theory has been presented in the present work. For the homogeneous and isotropic FLRW model, the deceleration parameter has been evaluated, and, it has been examined whether there is any transition from deceleration to acceleration in recent past, or not. With the proper choice of the free parameters, it has been shown that the massive gravity theory is equivalent to Einstein gravity with a modified Newtonian gravitational constant together with a negative cosmological constant. Also, in this context, it has been examined whether the emergent scenario is possible, or not, in massive gravity theory. Finally, we have done a cosmographic analysis in massive gravity theory.     

A Facile Oxidation of Thiols to Disulfides Catalyzed by CoSalen

Abstract

A convenient and facile catalytic oxidation of thiols to the corresponding disulfides is described using CoSalen as the catalyst and air as the oxidizing agent. This new approach provides an efficient method for the preparation of symmetrical disulfides in high yields and under mild conditions.
