STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF 12C（d,d）12C AND 12C（d,p）13C* REACTIONS

A formalism for studying the interference between the direct reaction and the compound resonance processes is presented by the S-matrix theory; The mechanism of ¹²C（d, d） ¹²C, ¹²C（d, p₁） ¹³C* and ¹²C（d, p₂） ¹³C* reactions in the energy range E_d=1.63 MeV to 2.05 MeV is analysed.Te results show that: the interference between these two processes exists; and the quantitative relation between them is given. While the parameters of direct reactions and compound resonance processes, particularly for four resonance states with E_d=1.726, 1.767, 1.792 and 1.86 MeV are determined.     

Hierarchical decision making in production and repair/replacement planning with imperfect repairs under uncertainties

In this paper, we analyse an optimal production, repair and replacement problem for a manufacturing system subject to random machine breakdowns. The system produces parts, and upon machine breakdown, either an imperfect repair is undertaken or the machine is replaced with a new identical one. The decision variables of the system are the production rate and the repair/replacement policy. The objective of the control problem is to find decision variables that minimize total incurred costs over an infinite planning horizon. Firstly, a hierarchical decision making approach, based on a semi-Markov decision model (SMDM), is used to determine the optimal repair and replacement policy. Secondly, the production rate is determined, given the obtained repair and replacement policy. Optimality conditions are given and numerical methods are used to solve them and to determine the control policy. We show that the number of parts to hold in inventory in order to hedge against breakdowns must be readjusted to a higher level as the number of breakdowns increases or as the machine ages. We go from the traditional policy with only one high threshold level to a policy with several threshold levels, which depend on the number of breakdowns. Numerical examples and sensitivity analyses are presented to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.     

Combining rule for interaction energies of the (CO)2, (N2)2 and CO-N2 complexes

The relationship between interaction energies of the most stable structures of the (CO)₂, (N₂)₂ and CO-N₂ complexes is investigated using the supermolecule CCSD(T) and MP4 methods and aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D,T,Q) basis sets extended by a set of midbond functions centred in the middle of the intermolecular bond. A simple combining rule for interaction energies of this triad of clusters is proposed.     

ADSORPTION DYNAMICS OF MACROPOROUS POLYMERIC ADSORBENT Ⅱ. The Studies on the Film Diffusion Mass-Transfer Process

1 INTRODUCTIONAt present time, most of the studies for the adsorption dynamics of macroporous adsorbent,.especially for the film diffusion mass-transfer process, were based on the conclusions for theBoyd ion-exchange dynamics equationl'l. The structure of gel-type ion-exchange resin andmacroporous polystyrene resin is different. Because of having the hydrophilic group, both of theirmer and outer of the ion-exchange resin can swell to the reticulation struCture in the aqueous.Based on the…
