Two dimensional analytical solution for a partially vegetated compound channel flow

The theory of an eddy viscosity model is applied to the study of the flow in a compound channel which is partially vegetated. The governing equation is constituted by analyzing the longitudinal forces acting on the unit volume where the effect of the vegetation on the flow is considered as a drag force item, The compound channel is divided into 3 sub-regions in the transverse direction, and the coefficients in every region＇s differential equations were solved simultaneously. Thus, the analytical solution of the transverse distribution of the depth-averaged velocity for uniform flow in a partially vegetated compound channel was obtained. The results can be used to predict the transverse distribution of bed shear stress, which has an important effect on the transportation of sediment. By comparing the analytical results with the measured data, the analytical solution in this paper is shown to be sufficiently accurate to predict most hydraulic features for engineering design purposes.

Acetylene adsorption on Si(1 0 0): A study of the role of surface steps

The focus of this study is on the adsorption of organic molecules onto steps on Si(1 0 0) and acetylene has been chosen as a show-case example. The study is based on a time-dependent quantum mechanical method and is divided into two parts. The first part has a methodological meaning and illustrates the dynamical events occurring when the molecule impinges onto the flat Si(1 0 0) surface. The second part analyzes preferred adsorption sites at steps, which are evaluated under stationary conditions from the minimization of the total energy. Adsorption-desorption events at those sites are analyzed considering temperature-activated motions obtained from the time-dependent representation. The simulation method is based on two Hamiltonians, i.e., semiempirical Hartree-Fock and Density Functional, and uses a cluster to model the exposed surface. Divergences and similarities of the properties of steps with respect to properties of the flat surface, as reported in the literature or obtained from this study, are analyzed and discussed.     

Faceting of nanoscale fingers on the (1 1 1) surface of gold

Gold fingers, one atomic layer (0.25 nm) high, 4-5 nm wide, and several hundred nm long are formed on the (1 1 1) surface of gold at room temperature by a combination of atomic manipulation and surface self-organisation. Each finger has two parallel edges (type A and type B, respectively) running along its length. The type A step is found to have higher step energy and become nanofaceted when disturbed by either thermal energy or the electric field under the STM tip, leading to the transformation of fingers to “nano-knives”. Our findings reveal the important role of step energy in the process of nanostructure fabrication on surfaces. The gold fingers also provide an ideal system for the investigation of meta-stable nanostructures.     

Morphology of solidified polysulfone structures obtained by wet phase separation

Evidence is presented that all three theoretically predicted modes of phase separation take place in the ternary system polysulfone(PSf)/N,N-dimethyl acetamide(DMA)/water during the process of wet phase separation (WPS). The elementary process of solidification is reconsidered with regard to the (non-) equilibrium phase separation. Cast solutions with more than 15 wt% of PSf undergo nucleation and growth of the polymer lean phase with formation of separation membranes characterised by a cellular structure. When cast solutions with about 5-7 wt% of PSf undergo WPS, somewhere inside the ternary system conditions are established so that alongside other solidified PSf structures the bicontinuous spinodal structures superimposed by bead-like structures are also formed. Variety of lacy PSf structures with less/more polymer beads is the manifestation of the primary phase separation by the spinodal mode superimposed by the secondary phase separation taking place by heterogeneous nucleation and growth of the polymer rich phase mode. Latex formation during the WPS will also be explained. Skin formation on the cast solution - coagulation bath interface by direct accumulation of polymer is established regardless of the PSf content in the cast solution.     

Recent progress in JAERI alanineESR dosimetry system

Alanine/ESR (electron spin resonance) dosimetry system has been developed on the basis of precise, mass-productive alanine dosimeters of various shapes, and easy-handling ESR reading system. Polymers as binders enable us to mass-produce homogeneous and dimensionally uniform alanine dosimeters of different shapes and thickness relative to penetration range of radiations, for instance, rods for gamma and X-rays, and thin films for electrons and heavy charged particles. They also allow us to simplify parameters of ESR operation exclusively for specific dosimeters and to achieve good reproducibility of measurement. An easy-handling ESR spectrometric reading system was developed on the basis of custom-made ESR spectrometer with a permanent magnet, and automated with auxiliary interfaces and a personal computer. Alanine/ESR dosimetry in JAERI works for domestic and international transfer dosimetry, for simple and reliable routine dosimetry in radiation processing, and for dosimetry of short-penetration range radiations.     

Spectral characteristics and species identification of rhododendrons using a discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine

Rhododendrons are an important genus of alpine flowering plant used ornamentally worldwide. The purpose of this study is to improve the application of remote-sensing technology for investigating and monitoring mountain rhododendron germplasm. Research area is the Baili Rhododendron National Forest Park located in the karst region of Guizhou Province, China. Field spectrometry was used to acquire spectral data for 20 samples extracted from eight rhododendron species. A deep-learning algorithm from a discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine was used with the original spectral data from the different rhododendron species to obtain the optimal parameters for the model. Simultaneously, the data processing methodology from the discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine was used to recognize the original spectra, the noise smoothed spectra, and the first- and second-order spectral derivatives with accuracies of 88.54%, 88.54%, 93.75%, and 90.62%, respectively. The results show that the discriminative restricted Boltzmann machine is effective in recognizing spectral information for different rhododendron species. Changes in the first-order derivative gave the most accurate classification, but changes in the second-order derivative significantly reduced the sample training time. Changes in both derivatives therefore proved useful in recognizing and extracting particular features of the plant species. This research may therefore further support the use of hyperspectral remote-sensing imagery for investigating and monitoring germplasm, species classification, and physiological parameter inversions for rhododendrons from various mountain regions of China.     

Various flows of black and grey particles produced in Mg-emulsion collisions at 4.5 A GeV/c

Various flow phenomena of black particles(b-particles)and grey particles(g-particles)produced in magnesium-emulsion(Mg-Em)collisions at 4.5 A GeV/c are reported.These flows are directed and elliptic transverse flows(vl and v2)related by the azimuthal angle((φ)),directed and elliptic reaction plane flows(vR1 and vR2)related by the projected angle(ψ)on the reaction plane,and directed and elliptic polar direction flows(vp1 and vp2)related by the polar angle((υ)).We extract absolute flows as the direct experimental values minus the isotropic theoretical values.The dependence of the various flows on the target particle multiplicity and on the angles((υ,φ,ψ))is investigated.Our results show that the dependence of b-particle flows on the target size is obvious and for heavy targets the dependence on target particle multiplicity is slight.Compared with b-particles,g-particles have a slight dependence on the target size and target particle multiplicity.
