A new method of numerical simulating prediction and decontamination effect evaluation for abrasive jet decontamination to radioactively contaminated metal is proposed. Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Model (CFD-DEM) coupled simulation model, the motion patterns and distribution of abrasives can be predicted, and the decontamination effect can be evaluated by image processing and recognition technology. The impact of three key parameters (impact distance, inlet pressure, abrasive mass flow rate) on the decontamination effect is revealed. Moreover, here are experiments of reliability verification to decontamination effect and numerical simulation methods that has been conducted. The results show that: 60Co and other homogeneous solid solution radioactive pollutants can be removed by abrasive jet, and the average removal rate of Co exceeds 80%. It is reliable for the proposed numerical simulation and evaluation method because of the well goodness of fit between predicted value and actual values: The predicted values and actual values of the abrasive distribution diameter are Ф57 and Ф55; the total coverage rate is 26.42% and 23.50%; the average impact velocity is 81.73 m/s and 78.00 m/s. Further analysis shows that the impact distance has a significant impact on the distribution of abrasive particles on the target surface, the coverage rate of the core area increases at first, and then decreases with the increase of the impact distance of the nozzle, which reach a maximum of 14.44% at 300 mm. It is recommended to set the impact distance around 300 mm, because at this time the core area coverage of the abrasive is the largest and the impact velocity is stable at the highest speed of 81.94 m/s. The impact of the nozzle inlet pressure on the decontamination effect mainly affects the impact kinetic energy of the abrasive and has little impact on the distribution. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater the impact kinetic energy, and the stronger the decontamination ability of the abrasive. But in return, the energy consumption is higher, too. For the decontamination of radioactively contaminated metals, it is recommended to set the inlet pressure of the nozzle at around 0.6 MPa. Because most of the Co elements can be removed under this pressure. Increasing the mass and flow of abrasives appropriately can enhance the decontamination effectiveness. The total mass of abrasives per unit decontamination area is suggested to be 50 g because the core area coverage rate of the abrasive is relatively large under this condition; and the nozzle wear extent is acceptable

Transgenic rice expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa toxins have proven resistant to lepidopteran pests in China, including the striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis. Identifying the molecular mechanisms through which Cry toxins affect insect pests is essential, both for understanding the nature of their toxicity, and for assessing the potential for the development of resistance to such toxins. In this study, both onedimensional gel electrophoresis (1-DE), combined ligand blots and mass spectrometry, were used to identify proteins binding to the Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa toxins in brush border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) of the C. suppressalis larvae midgut. Aminopeptidase-N (APN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), cadherin-like (CAD), ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily C1 protein (ABCC1), actin, ATPase, alpha amylase, and heat shock protein cognate (HSPC), were detected in Cry1Ac binding bands, and APN, actin, ATPase and HSPC were identified as Cry2Aa potential binding proteins. The novel potential binding protein, delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, was also detected in both Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa binding bands. This is the first study to comprehensively identify the proteins that bind to Cry1Ac and Cry2Aa toxins in C. suppressalis.

LIN Lei,FU Xiaoyun,GAO Haiping 유공압건설기계학회 2015 유공압건설기계학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2015 No.10

Installing hydraulic mufflers in piping system is one of the most extensive methods to attenuate the fluid pressure pulse and noise. In order to refine the current numerical analysis model for hydraulic mufflers, the fluid-structure interaction mathematical model is analyzed, and a two-dimension transient model of fluid-structure interaction is established and calculated by ADINA. By the analysis of the simulation result, the law of pressure fluctuation attenuation varied with frequency is obtained. The analysis shows that the simulation results are very consistent with experimental results completed by other researchers, and verify the numerical simulation. On this basis, the relationships between the structure parameters and the noise attenuation have been analyzed in order to realize the structure optimization. In this paper, the research works have made a contribution for more accurate analysis the performance of hydraulic muffler.

Lin Jiang,Jun Li,Yuxin Hu,Feng Pan,Jianyang Zhu,Bin Lei,Rui Lin 대한기계학회 2023 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.37 No.4

Aiming at the problems that the robot being in the process of navigation cannot meet the requirements of real-time and accuracy at the same time, moreover is too close to obstacles and lacks the initiative to avoid obstacles, a Voronoi diagram algorithm for improved skeleton extraction suitable for dynamic environment is proposed. On the one hand, firstly the grid map is preprocessed by binarization, corrosion and expansion, so the reduced skeleton map suitable for navigation is obtained, then the reduced skeleton map is extracted for searching the global path, finally the improved cubic spline smoothing algorithm is used to optimize the global path each planned, thus overcoming the defects of bloated and tortuous in the path obtaining by original Voronoi diagram algorithm. On the other hand, the position information of all obstacles is obtained by a single scan lidar. Firstly, segmenting and linearly fitting all laser point clouds to remove the known obstacles in the map. Then to mark new possible dynamic obstacles with circles of appropriate size. Secondly detecting dynamic obstacles by the alteration of their center coordinates, moreover, solving their motion equations. Finally expanding the cost map along the speed direction of dynamic obstacles and combining DWA dynamic window method to realize dynamic obstacle avoidance. Compared with the original DWA algorithm, it can predict the motion state of dynamic obstacles in advance, which improves the safety of the robot in the dynamic environment. Moreover, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by many simulation experiments and real environment experiments.

Lei Xia,Lin-lin Lu,Yu-Xia Liang 한국섬유공학회 2020 Fibers and polymers Vol.21 No.7

In this paper, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) micro- and nanofibers were successfully prepared by centrifugal spinningwhich is a more simple and effective approach to produce micro/nanofibers. The morphology of fibers was investigated usingscanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), while their thermal properties by differential scanningcalorimeter (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the diameter of PLA fibers increasedsignificantly with increasing solution concentration and decreased slightly with increasing collection distance. It can becontrolled below 500 nm at the optimal process parameters which were found to be spinning solution concentration of 6 %,spinneret diameter of 0.11 mm, rotational speed of 5500 rpm and collecting distance of 15 cm. Although the crystallinity ofthe PLA fibers was weaker than that of the PLA pellets due to the insufficient adjustment of the molecular chain in rapidsolvent evaporation and short stretching time, it can be improved by increasing the rotational speed from 4500 to 7000 rpm. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of the fibers were nearly keeping constant compared tothe PLA pellets. Its good degradability was demonstrated by the loss of fibers structure completely within 5 hours ofimmersion in NaOH at pH 13.

Lei-Lei Gan,Jia-Qin Xu,Gui-Lin She 국제구조공학회 2023 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.85 No.5

Based on first-order shear deformation theory, a wave propagation model of graphene platelets reinforced metal foams (GPLRMFs) circular plates is built in this paper. The expressions of phase-/group- velocities and wave number are obtained by using Laplace integral transformation and Hankel integral transformation. The effects of GPLs pattern, foams distribution, GPLs weight fraction and foam coefficient on the phase and group velocity of GPLRMFs circular plates are discussed in detail. It can be inferred that GPLs distribution have great impacts on the wave propagation problems, and Porosity- I type distribution has the largest phase velocity and group velocity, followed by Porosity-III, and finally Porosity-II; With the increase of the GPLs weight fraction, the phase- and group- velocities for the GPLRMFs circular plate will be increased; With the increase of the foam coefficient, the phase- and group- velocities for the GPLRMFs circular plate will be decreased.

Influences of Three Oidiodendron maius Isolates and Two Inorganic Nitrogen Sources on the Growth of Rhododendron kanehirae

Lei-Chen Lin,Wan-Rou Lin,Yu-Chen Hsu,Hung-Yu Pan 한국원예학회 2020 원예과학기술지 Vol.38 No.5

Rhododendron kanehirae Wilson is an endemic species of Taiwan that is listed as extinct in the wild by the Red List of Vascular Plants of Taiwan. R. kanehirae seedlings can form mycorrhizae with the ericoid mycobiont Oidiodendron maius. A completely randomized experimental design was conducted to investigate the effects of three different O. maius isolates (strains CBS110450, RhYM3, and RooDK1) as well as nitrate and ammonium (inorganic nitrogen) on the growth of R. kanehirae by evaluating height and shoot, root, and total fresh weight. Three isolates of O. maius showed different colony morphology and growth rate, which was further verified by molecular analysis. The results showed that application of ammonium fertilizer improved the height and shoot, root, and total fresh weight of all of the R. kanehirae seedlings. Among them, seedlings inoculated with RhYM3 had the highest fresh weights and heights. By applying an appropriate amount of nitrogen combined with RhYM3 inoculation, the rhizome of R. kanehirae grew well. The information provided here is crucial for the conservation of R. kanehirae, as this species is on the verge of extinction.

Multi-Attribute Data Fusion for Energy Equilibrium Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

( Kai Lin ),( Lei Wang ),( Keqiu Li ),( Lei Shu ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2010 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.4 No.1

Data fusion is an attractive technology because it allows various trade-offs related to performance metrics, e.g., energy, latency, accuracy, fault-tolerance and security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Under a complicated environment, each sensor node must be equipped with more than one type of sensor module to monitor multi-targets, so that the complexity for the fusion process is increased due to the existence of various physical attributes. In this paper, we first investigate the process and performance of multi-attribute fusion in data gathering of WSNs, and then propose a self-adaptive threshold method to balance the different change rates of each attributive data. Furthermore, we present a method to measure the energy-conservation efficiency of multi-attribute fusion. Based on our proposed methods, we design a novel energy equilibrium routing method for WSNs, viz., multi-attribute fusion tree (MAFT). Simulation results demonstrate that MAFT achieves very good performance in terms of the network lifetime.
