Theories are developed based on the columnlet, bundlet and droplet models describing the size-distribution functions. Phenomena present a unified explanation in the columnlet model in which free energy of Cgraphene involved in cluster is combined from a volume part proportional to the number of molecules n in cluster and a constant. The columnlet model enables describing distribution function of Cgraphene clusters by size. From purely geometrical considerations the columnlet （Cgraphene）, bundlet （single-wall carbon nanotube）, CNT （carbon nanotube）, SWNT （single-wall C-nanotube）, and carbon nanobud, CNB （carbon nanobud）） and droplet （fullerene） models predict dissimilar behaviours. The interaction-energy parameters of Cgraphene are taken from C60. An CNB behaviour or further is expected. The decay of solubility with rising temperature is smaller for Cgraphene than for SWNT and CNB and, furthermore, than for C60, in agreement with lesser numbers of units in Cgraphene clusters. The discrepancy between the experimental data of the heat of solution of fullerenes, CNTs, CNBs and graphenes is ascribed to the sharp concentration dependence of the heat of solution. The diffusion coefficient drops with temperature result greater for Cgraphene than CNB and SWNT than C60 corresponding to lesser number of units in clusters. The aggregates near （C60）13, SWNT/CNB7 and （Cgraphene）3 could be representative of the droplet, bundlet and columnlet models.展开更多

The results demonstrated that micro-cracks are randomly distributed in the specimen when the temperature is below 300?C, and have partial coalescence when the temperature is up to 450?C, then form macro-cracks when the temperature is above 600?C. There is more inter-granular cracking than intra-granular cracking, and their ratio increases with increasing temperature.The micro-cracks are almost constant when the temperature decreases from 900?C to room temperature, except for quartz α–β phase transition temperature(573?C). The fracture evolution process is obviously affected by these cracks, especially at 600–900?C. Elevated temperature leads to easily developed displacement between the grains, and the capacity to store strain energy becomes weaker, corresponding to the plasticity of granite after heat treatment.展开更多

The results of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) indicated that the temperatures of the three desorption peaks of the main N2 molecules were at (low) temperature of 230 K, 450 K, and (high) temperature of 980 K. This meant that N^18O decomposed and recombined during the process of N2 desorption after N^18O was exposed. Analysis of thestable combination and orbital theory calculation of the surface reaction of NO adsorption on the TiO2(110) cluster modelshowed that there was clear preference for the Ti-NO orientation.展开更多

In order to overcome this issues the projection pursuit principle is introduced into water quality assessment, and projection pursuit cluster(PPC) model is developed in this study. The PPC model makes the transition from high dimension to one-dimension. In other words, based on the PPC model, multifactor problem can be converted to one factor problem. The application of PPC model can be divided into four parts: (1) to estimate projection index function Q(); (2) to find the right projection direction ; (3) to calculate projection characteristic value of the i th sample z-i, and (4) to draw comprehensive analysis on the basis of z-i. On the other hand, the empirical formula of cutoff radius R is developed, which is benefit for the model to be used in practice. Finally, a case study of water quality assessment is proposed in this paper. The results showed that the PPC model is reasonable, and it is more objective and less subjective in water quality assessment. It is a new method for multivariate problem comprehensive analysis.展开更多

Zehner et al. mentioned that the modification of surface dipole moment made it possible to tune the work function of the system. The experiment of Ganzorig et al. showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecule and the work function change of the system using the modified surface of indium-tin oxide (ITO) with some benzoic acid derivatives. To elucidate the relation between the dipole moment of the molecule and the work function change, we investigated the modified surface of SnO2(110) using Sn7O14 cluster model which was embedded in the fixed point charges. On the modification of the surface, benzoic acid derivatives were bound to SnO2 surface. By changing the terminal group of benzoic acid with H, Cl, F, CF3 and CCl3, the work function changed and the dipole moment of the binding molecules of the modified SnO2(110) were evaluated. The results showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecules and the work function changed. From this relation, the average value of the dipole moments of Sn-OOC linkage at the surface was also evaluated.展开更多

Merits and demerits of these criteria have been compared. Ab initio study has been performed to show the influence of the values of point charges chosen on the calculated electronic properties of the embedded MgO cluster. The calculation results demonstrate that the electronic properties of the embedded cluster are of great dependence on the magnitude of the embedding point charges; that the employment of the nominal charges, ±2.0, would cause overestimation of the crystal potential even in the case of the so called purely ionic oxide, MgO; and that certain requirements for the consistence between the embedded cluster and the embedding point charges should be reached. It is further found that errors for the calculated properties of the embedded cluster still exist with respect to those of bulk solid even in the case that self consistence in terms of charge, dipole moment, or electrostatic potential was met between the cut out cluster and the embedding point charges. As far as spherical expansion is performed upon the embedding point charges, which furnishes the embedding point charges with a continuous distribution of charge density, a global agreement is reached between the calculated properties of the embedded cluster model and those of the bulk solid.展开更多

These survival methods further assume independent survival times, which is not valid for honey bees, which live in nests. The study introduces a semi-parametric marginal proportional hazards mixture cure (PHMC) model with exchangeable correlation structure, using generalized estimating equations for survival data analysis. The model was tested on clustered right-censored bees survival data with a cured fraction, where two bee species were subjected to different entomopathogens to test the effect of the entomopathogens on the survival of the bee species. The Expectation-Solution algorithm is used to estimate the parameters. The study notes a weak positive association between cure statuses (ρ1=0.0007) and survival times for uncured bees (ρ2=0.0890), emphasizing their importance. The odds of being uncured for A. mellifera is higher than the odds for species M. ferruginea. The bee species, A. mellifera are more susceptible to entomopathogens icipe 7, icipe 20, and icipe 69. The Cox-Snell residuals show that the proposed semiparametric PH model generally fits the data well as compared to model that assume independent correlation structure. Thus, the semi parametric marginal proportional hazards mixture cure is parsimonious model for correlated bees survival data.展开更多

The reciprocity of the α-cluster, pn-pair, and nn-pair caused the regular change of the separating energy to separate the nn-pair in the exotic nuclei. The regular change was that the separating energy was high behind low to separate the nn-pair in the light and exotic nuclei. This phenomenon must had more profound physical meaning.展开更多

Our theoretical results of N near K-edge energy loss fine structures in hexagonal GaN crystal are in good agreement with the experimental spectra. Future possible experiments in energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) are discussed and proposed because our theoretical work can provide clear assignments for transmitted electrons with different energy losses.展开更多

文摘Within the framework of the modified potential cluster model with forbidden states,the total cross-sections of radiative n^(9)Be capture to the ground and five low-lying excited states are calculated at energies from 10^(-2)eV up to 5 MeV.The thermal cross-section σ_(th)=8.35mb is in good agreement with experimental data.We considered five resonances at the excitation energies E_(x)from 7.371 MeV up to 10.570 MeV corresponding to the following states with J^(π)(E_(x),MeV):3^(-)(7.371),2^(+)(7.542),3^(+)(9.4),2^(+)(9.56),and 3^(-)(10.570).The partial and total ^(9)Be(n,γ0+1+2+3+4+5)^(10)Be reaction rates are calculated at temperatures from 0.001 to 10 T_(9).Contrary to the available data,we propose that the rise in the reaction rate near factor five at T_(9)>1 is mainly due to the first 3^(-)(E_(R)=0.559 MeV)resonance.We foresee this contrast as arising from different model approaches.

文摘We discuss current attempts to employ the modified potential cluster model to describe the available experimental data on the^(13)B(n,γ0+1)^(14)B total cross-sections.The estimated results of the M1 and E1 transitions from the n^(13)B scattering states to the ground and first excited states of^(14)B are presented.The 1st resonance at Ex=1.275 MeV(1+)is revealed in both the cross-section and reaction rate.Within the variation in the asymptotic constant,a thermal cross-section interval of 5.1-8.9 mb is proposed.Based on the theoretical total cross-sections at energies of 0.01 eV to 5 MeV,we calculate the reaction rate in the temperature range of 0.01 to 10T9.The ignition T9 values of the^(13)B(n,γ0+1)^(14)B reaction depending on a neutron number density n_(n)of~10^(22)cm^(−3)are determined.The radiative neutron capture reaction rates on the boron^(10-13)B and carbon^(12-14)Сisotopes are compared.
文摘Several criteria for determining self consistently the magnitude of point charges employed in the embedded cluster modeling of metal oxides have been proposed and investigated. Merits and demerits of these criteria have been compared. Ab initio study has been performed to show the influence of the values of point charges chosen on the calculated electronic properties of the embedded MgO cluster. The calculation results demonstrate that the electronic properties of the embedded cluster are of great dependence on the magnitude of the embedding point charges; that the employment of the nominal charges, ±2.0, would cause overestimation of the crystal potential even in the case of the so called purely ionic oxide, MgO; and that certain requirements for the consistence between the embedded cluster and the embedding point charges should be reached. It is further found that errors for the calculated properties of the embedded cluster still exist with respect to those of bulk solid even in the case that self consistence in terms of charge, dipole moment, or electrostatic potential was met between the cut out cluster and the embedding point charges. As far as spherical expansion is performed upon the embedding point charges, which furnishes the embedding point charges with a continuous distribution of charge density, a global agreement is reached between the calculated properties of the embedded cluster model and those of the bulk solid.
文摘Classical survival analysis assumes all subjects will experience the event of interest, but in some cases, a portion of the population may never encounter the event. These survival methods further assume independent survival times, which is not valid for honey bees, which live in nests. The study introduces a semi-parametric marginal proportional hazards mixture cure (PHMC) model with exchangeable correlation structure, using generalized estimating equations for survival data analysis. The model was tested on clustered right-censored bees survival data with a cured fraction, where two bee species were subjected to different entomopathogens to test the effect of the entomopathogens on the survival of the bee species. The Expectation-Solution algorithm is used to estimate the parameters. The study notes a weak positive association between cure statuses (ρ1=0.0007) and survival times for uncured bees (ρ2=0.0890), emphasizing their importance. The odds of being uncured for A. mellifera is higher than the odds for species M. ferruginea. The bee species, A. mellifera are more susceptible to entomopathogens icipe 7, icipe 20, and icipe 69. The Cox-Snell residuals show that the proposed semiparametric PH model generally fits the data well as compared to model that assume independent correlation structure. Thus, the semi parametric marginal proportional hazards mixture cure is parsimonious model for correlated bees survival data.
文摘It was supposed that, the nucleus was composed of α-cluster, pn-pair, and nn-pair. The reciprocity of the α-cluster, pn-pair, and nn-pair caused the regular change of the separating energy to separate the nn-pair in the exotic nuclei. The regular change was that the separating energy was high behind low to separate the nn-pair in the light and exotic nuclei. This phenomenon must had more profound physical meaning.

文摘A cluster model is used to calculate electron energy-loss fine structures in crystal. The multiple-scattering self-consistent-field method is employed in the calculation. Our theoretical results of N near K-edge energy loss fine structures in hexagonal GaN crystal are in good agreement with the experimental spectra. Future possible experiments in energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) are discussed and proposed because our theoretical work can provide clear assignments for transmitted electrons with different energy losses.
