Discrete element simulation of effects of multicontact loading on single particle crushing

Particle crushing commonly occurs in granular materials and affects their structures and mechanical properties. Unlike idealized particles in experimental single particle crushing tests with two loading points, natural particles are crushed under multicontact loading. To date, the criteria and patterns of particle crushing under multicontact conditions are not fully understood. By using the three-dimensional discrete element method, this report explores the effect of multicontact loading on the crushing criterion of a single particle, the crushing pattern, and the relationship between the particle crushing strength and loading distribution. The particles are modelled as aggregates of glued Voronoi polyhedra. The numerical results indicate that the logarithm of the mean principal stress has a good linear correlation with the coordination number. For a specific coordination number, the number of child particles presents a significant normal distribution. For a specific number of child particles, the volumes of child particles can be statistically described as normal or gamma distribution. Three typical models are proposed to qualitatively analyse the relationship between the loading distribution and crushing strength. The relevant conclusions can be helpful in engineering practice and in further studies on crushable granular materials via the discrete element method.     

中药材巴戟天及其水煎液微量元素的分布模式

模拟传统煎药方式,制备巴戟天水煎液。用电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)测定了药材及其水煎液中11种微量元素Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Se、Cd、Sn、Pb含量,用火焰原子吸收光谱法(FAAS)测定了微量元素Fe含量。根据微量元素含量,得到了药材及水煎液微量元素的分布模式。结果表明,巴戟天药材样品富含人体必需元素Fe、Mn、Zn,含量分别是1086.3、393.8、15.1μg.g-1;巴戟天药材与水煎液微量元素的分布模式图清晰地显示了其微量元素的分布特征,且药材与水煎液微量元素的分布模式以及不同煎制时间下水煎液微量元素的分布模式均存在明显差异,进而表明这种微量元素分布模式对中药微量元素的研究和临床应用具有参考价值。     

有损压缩JPEG在载频条纹图分析中的应用研究

探讨了基于JPEG的有损压缩方法在载频条纹图分析中的应用前景。简介了当今流行的JPEG有损压缩技术和傅里叶变换轮廓术。使用专业软件对傅里叶变换轮廓术中拍摄的载频条纹图进行各种压缩比的压缩,解压后再解调出相位,与未经压缩的原图解调出的相位进行比较。将其相位误差与相位移法解调出的相位误差进行了对比,指出相对于相位移法而言,傅里叶变换轮廓术具有滤波的作用,对其拍摄的载频条纹图,应用JPEG压缩算法是可能的,解调出来的相位误差更小。     

天文导航中星体高精度细分定位方法研究

介绍了一种从星体图像中高精度提取恒星位置的方法.这种方法把星光成像看成是高斯点扩散函数模型,利用线性内插和最小二乘法拟合得到高斯曲面参数,从高斯曲面模型中得到亚像素级的恒星位置.由于直接进行高斯曲面拟合计算非常复杂,将二维曲面拟合转化为两个方向上的一维曲线拟合,分别得到不同的曲面系数.仿真结果表明当信噪比小于0.05时,定位精度能达到1/20像素,与质心法比较,高斯曲面拟合法精度高,抗噪声能力强.     

Secretory Products in Petals of Centaurea cyanus L. Flowers: A Histochemistry,Ultrastructure, and Phytochemical Study of Volatile Compounds

(1) Background: Centaurea cyanus L. is a medicinal plant whose flowers are widely used in herbal medicine. The aim of the study was to localise flower tissues that are responsible for the production of secretory products in petals and to analyse the volatile compounds. The volatile compounds of the flowers of this species have not been investigated to date. (2) Methods: Light, fluorescence, scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques were used in the study. Lipophilic compounds were localised in the tissues using histochemical assays. Volatile compounds were determined with the use of solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). (3) Results: The study showed production of secretion in the petal parenchyma, whose ultrastructure has features of a secretory tissue. The lipophilic secretion was localised in the cells and intercellular spaces of the parenchyma and in the walls and surface of epidermal cells, where it accumulated after release through cuticle microchannels. Sesquiterpenes were found to constitute the main group of volatile compounds, with the highest content of β-caryophyllene (26.17%) and α-humulene (9.77%). (4) Conclusions: Given the presence of some volatile components that are often found in resins (caryophyllene, delta-cadinene) and the abundant secretion residues on the epidermal surface, we suppose that the C. cyanus secretion released by the flowers is a resinaceous mixture (oleoresin), which is frequently found in plants, as shown by literature data. This secretion may play an important role in the therapeutic effects of C. cyanus flowers.     

利用TEM对Si基片与MgO基片上生长的薄膜特性的研究

对生长在Si和MgO单晶基片上的不同厚度的单层NbN薄膜、双层薄膜AlN/NbN以及三层薄膜NbN/AlN/NbN应用透射电子显微镜(Transmission Electron Microscope,TEM)技术进行了分析研究,对这几种薄膜样品的微观结构、薄膜厚度以及各个边界的一些直观细节给出了较为清晰的图像。由透射电子显微镜的电子衍射图案计算了薄膜和单晶衬底的晶格常数,并与我们以前采用X射线衍射技术分析的结果进行了比较,结果有很好的吻合。     

太赫兹成像技术对玉米种子的鉴定和识别

利用太赫兹时域光谱(THz_TDS)测试技术及透射式太赫兹逐点扫描成像技术分别对几种玉米种子DNA和胚的样品进行了光谱和成像测量;利用空间图样成份分析(component spatial pattern analysis)方法对得到的THz像进行识别运算。实验结果表明,几种样品在THz波段都有不同的吸收特性,但都没有明显的吸收峰,不能利用“特征指纹谱”进行识别。用基于THz扫描成像的空间图样成份分析方法能很好地实现不同玉米种子DNA样品的鉴定和识别。与现有的THz图像识别方法相比,这个方法只需要THz像的实验数据和样品的吸收谱信息,不需要样品的其它特征。这项研究为进一步利用THz成像技术实现无损检测、安全检查、质量监测等提供了依据,具有实际应用价值。     

“Butterfly”-like patterns of triblock copolymer gels as observed by small-angle neutron scattering

At high (150-1000%) stretching of a physical gel of a triblock copolymer a “butterfly”-type scattering pattern is observed with a pronounced scattering-free strip perpendicular to the stretching direction. The phenomenon is attributed to the cluster character of the physical network in the gel. Stretching brings endblock domains (junction points of the network) closer to each other in the direction perpendicular to the stretching and leads to formation of a layered structure. High connectivity of the network inside the clusters leads to saturation of the deformation within the clusters as manifested by the scattering-free region in the SANS pattern. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

基于PI法的门源MS6.4地震前震中附近地震热点图像异常变化研究

基于1980年以来青海省和甘肃省区域地震台网的定位地震目录,分析了研究区最小完备震级,选取空间网格尺度为0.2°×0.2°、地震活动异常学习时间段和预测时间段均为3 a,应用图像信息（PI）法,分析了门源M_S6.4地震发生前震中附近地震热点图像的异常变化过程。结果表明,在2013年1月1日至2016年1月1日的预测时间窗内,冷龙岭断裂和祁连山北缘断裂附近存在明显的地震热点,且地震热点图像颜色偏深,发震概率较高,向前滑动至2014年1月1日至2017年1月1日,2015年1月1日至2018年1月1日和2016年1月1日至2019年1月1日3个预测时间窗,此两断裂附近仍存在地震热点,地震热点图像颜色逐渐由深变浅,而门源M_S6.4地震就落在PI法得到的地震热点内。门源M_S6.4地震前存在明显的地震热点,且地震热点相对集中,地震热点图像颜色由深变浅,震后消失;在祁连山北缘断裂附近,地震热点持续存在,分布较集中,地震热点图像颜色也呈由深变浅的过程。未来需关注祁连山北缘断裂,附近有发生强震的可能。
