Lifetime distribution and estimation problems of consecutive-k-out-of-n:F systems

Explicit formula is given for the lifetime distribution of a consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system. It is given as a linear combination of distributions of order statistics of the lifetimes of n components. We assume that the lifetimes are independent and identically distributed. The results should make it possible to treat the parametric estimation problems based on the observations of the lifetimes of the system. In fact, we take up, as some examples, the cases where the lifetimes of the components follow the exponential, the Weibull, and the Pareto distributions, and obtain feasible estimators by moment method. In particular, it is shown that the moment estimator is quite good for the exponential case in the sense that the asymptotic efficiency is close to one.This research was partially supported by the ISM Cooperative Research Program (94-ISM-CRP-5).     

基于可调负载重分配的无标度网络连锁效应分析

为了深入研究复杂网络抵制连锁故障的全局鲁棒性,针对现实网络上的负载重分配规则常常是介于全局分配与最近邻分配、均匀分配与非均匀分配的特点,围绕负荷这一影响连锁故障发生和传播最重要的物理量以及节点崩溃后的动力学过程,提出了一种可调负载重分配范围与负载重分配异质性的复杂网络连锁故障模型,并分析了该模型在无标度网络上的连锁故障条件.数值模拟获得了复杂网络抵制连锁故障的鲁棒性与模型中参数的关系.此外,基于网络负载分配规则的分析以及理论解析的推导,验证了数值模拟结论,也证明在最近邻与全局分配两种规则下都存在负载分配均匀性参数等于初始负荷强度参数即β=τ使得网络抵御连锁故障的能力最强.     

心率变异性的异方差特征研究

心率变异性数据具有非平稳和瞬时波动的特点,本文提出了采用自回归条件异方差(ARCH)分析方法分析这种波动.分析方法采用自回归移动平均模型消除序列的趋势和相关性,采用F检验法判断残差序列中是否存在ARCH效应,同时给出接受ARCH效应的概率.对充血性心衰竭病人和正常人的心率波动序列进行分析,两类人群ARCH特征接受概率及其变化率的统计值有较大差异,表明该方法可以区分不同的群体,为心电信息学研究提供了一种新的方法.     

简支矩形复合材料薄板压缩屈曲后的极限强度

本文通过283块简支矩形玻璃钢薄板的压缩屈曲后极限强度的试验,证明了复合材料薄板在屈曲失稳后仍能继续承载,以玻璃钢为例,可以超过临界载荷的十几倍。文中对薄板的极限强度进行了大挠度和小挠度理论分析,结合复合材料的能量强度理论,最后得出有关极限强度计算公式的C参数曲线,对于45°方向的薄板与试验结果较符合,对于经纬向薄板当β<0.11时比试验结果略大。文中给出的C参数可供产品设计时参考。     

2-pyrrolidone - capped Mn<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanocrystals

Water-soluble Mn₃O₄ nanocrystals have been prepared through thermal decomposition in a high temperature boiling solvent, 2-pyrrolidone. The final product was characterized with XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR and Zeta Potential measurements. Average crystallite size was calculated as ∼15 nm using XRD peak broadening. TEM analysis revealed spherical nanoparticles with an average diameter of 14±0.4 nm. FTIR analysis indicated that 2-pyrrolidone coordinates with the Mn₃O₄ nanocrystals only via O from the carbonyl group, thus confining their growth and protecting their surfaces from interaction with neighboring particles.      

Enabling the Operation of Highly Compatible LiI-3-Hydroxypropionitrile Small-Molecule Solid-State Electrolytes in Lithium Metal Batteries via Stepped-Amorphization Strategy

Integrating the advantages of both inorganic ceramic and organic polymer solid-state electrolytes, small-molecule solid-state electrolytes represented by LiI-3-hydroxypropionitrile (LiI-HPN) inorganic–organic hybrid systems possess good interfacial compatibility and high modulus. However, their lack of intrinsic Li⁺ conduction ability hinders potential application in lithium metal batteries until now, despite containing LiI phase composition. Herein, inspired by evolution tendency of ionic conduction behaviors together with first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, we propose a stepped-amorphization strategy to break the Li⁺ conduction bottleneck of LiI-HPN. It involves three progressive steps of composition (LiI-content increasing), time (long-time standing), and temperature (high-temperature melting) regulations, to essentially construct a small-molecule-based composite solid-state electrolyte with intensified amorphous degree, which realizes efficient conversion from an I⁻ to Li⁺ conductor and improved conductivity. As a proof, the stepped-optimized LiI-HPN is successfully operated in lithium metal batteries cooperated with Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ cathode to deliver considerable compatibility and stability over 250 cycles. This work not only clarifies the ionic conduction mechanisms of LiI-HPN inorganic–organic hybrid systems, but also provides a reasonable strategy to broaden the application scenarios of highly compatible small-molecule solid-state electrolytes.     

Electrosynthesis of α-Amino Acids from NO and other NOx species over CoFe alloy-decorated Self-standing Carbon Fiber Membranes

The conversion of industrial exhaust gases of nitrogen oxides into high-value products is significantly meaningful for global environment and human health. And green synthesis of amino acids is vital for biomedical research and sustainable development of mankind. Herein, we demonstrate an innovative approach for converting nitric oxide (NO) to a series of α-amino acids (over 13 kinds) through electrosynthesis with α-keto acids over self-standing carbon fiber membrane with CoFe alloy. The essential leucine exhibits a high yield of 115.4 μmol h⁻¹ corresponding a Faradaic efficiency of 32.4 %, and gram yield of products can be obtained within 24 hours in lab as well as an ultra-long stability (>240 h) of the membrane catalyst, which could convert NO into NH₂OH rapidly attacking α-keto acid and subsequent hydrogenation to form amino acid. In addition, this method is also suitable for other nitrogen sources including gaseous NO₂ or liquidus NO₃⁻ and NO₂⁻. Therefore, this work not only presents promising prospects for converting nitrogen oxides from exhaust gas and nitrate-laden waste water into high-value products, but also has significant implications for synthetizing amino acids in biomedical and catalytic science.     

无机富锌/环氧云铁/脂肪族聚氨酯复合涂层失效过程阻抗与吸水性变化的EIS研究

应用电化学交流阻抗谱研究不同厚度的无机富锌/环氧云铁/脂肪族聚氨酯复合涂层体系在3.5%NaCl和紫外辐射联合作用下的失效过程.结果表明,复合涂层的保护性随着该涂层总厚度增大而增大,但是其增加的幅度逐渐减小.环氧云铁中间漆的屏蔽作用主要体现在服役前期,而在后期则涂层的耐蚀性主要依靠富锌底漆的作用,同样厚度下的富锌底漆对涂层防护性能的提高作用更为明显.复合涂层体系吸水率的变化呈现三段式的特点,涂层越薄,吸水饱和期越短,涂层性能下降越快.
