Abstract: Analysis of hot-filament CVD (HF-CVD) growth of high quality 3C-SiC on micron-sized 3C-SiC mesas is presented. Two types of growth were observed: 1) a relatively slow growth at about 1μm/hour, and 2) an almost three times faster growth, correlated with the presence of domain boundaries in, or adjacent to, the mesas. Both reveal well-defined crystallographic facets and sharp corners between them. The slower growth has been identified to be surface-nucleation-limited, seemingly defect-free, while the faster growth has been identified as being caused by defect-induced step-flow growth. A growth model is presented, yielding a growth rate of 1.18 μm/h for the defect free {111} and (100) plane and 2.8 μm/h for {110} planes.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of smart city technology, which has attracted attention recently in relation to its urban revival functions along with changes in the industrial structure in deprived urban areas, and to draw implications. With this aim, the trends by country and detailed research field were analyzed in this study through a technology level analysis, and the technology growth stage and network analysis were examined by utilizing research paper information published worldwide. From these results, it was determined that smart city technology is likely to be commercialized because recently it has reached a maturity stage, and relevant research has been conducted actively mainly by China, the USA, and major European countries. Through this trend analysis, useful information is presented in this study for establishing R&D strategies to preoccupy the smart city technology field.

Abstract: To establish digital growth model of Kentucky bluegrass repent stem, and study growth process of Kentucky bluegrass repent stem in coordinate system. After observing and studying growth data we found that there is a quick-slow-quick growth rhythm in the growing process, and the growth model of length is established according to the growth rhythm. Then using RMSE statistical methods to verify the model, the results indicates that the growth model is in line with grasses repent stem natural growth rhythm and has a certain degree of reliability and accuracy, it can describe the growth of repent stem exactly.

Abstract: Information technology includes neural networks, ontology technology, expert system, and so on, and the growth model can predict and manage growth conditions of fruit trees. The traditional expert system has shortcomings of poor self-learning ability, so the improved expert system is used to perform diagnosis of diseases and insects of fruit tree. Firstly the ontology is used to collect related symptoms of diseases and insects of fruit trees, the expert system and neural network are combined to build the prediction model of diseases and insects of fruit tree, then the conclusions of the diagnostic process are regarded as the input neurons and output neurons of neural networks, and are diagnosed by expert, so the prediction models of disease diagnosis of fruit trees are made. The models can implement the function of expert diagnosis and prediction, and provide technical support and management decision for the growth management of fruit tree, greatly improving the diagnosis efficiency of diseases and insects of fruit tree.

Abstract: In recent years the research on structure and efficiency mode of farmland shelterbelt are more, while the prediction models of the poplar are much less. The growth model is based on poplar growth and management, the development of information technology provides new methods for the research and evaluation of poplar growth model. All kinds of information technology are used to extract growth character parameters of poplar, and neural network and expert system is used to establish the relational models of the character parameters and production management of poplar, these models are used to provide the basis for the cultivation of poplar growth and management, which have important theory value and practical significance.

Abstract: Mass balance between metal and electrolytic solution, separated by a moving interface, in stable pit growth results in a set of governing equations which are solved for concentration field and interface position (pit boundary evolution), which requires only three inputs, namely the solid metal concentration, saturation concentration of the dissolved metal ions and diffusion coefficient. A combined eXtended Finite Element Model (XFEM) and level set method is developed in this paper. The extended finite element model handles the jump discontinuity in the metal concentrations at the interface, by using discontinuous-derivative enrichment formulation for concentration discontinuity at the interface. This eliminates the requirement of using front conforming mesh and re-meshing after each time step as in conventional finite element method. A numerical technique known as level set method tracks the position of the moving interface and updates it over time. Numerical analysis for pitting corrosion of stainless steel 304 is presented. The above proposed method is validated by comparing the numerical results with experimental results, exact solutions and some other approximate solutions.

Abstract: In the research, the dissolved oxygen, energy efficiency index, growth of aquatic worms and sludge reduction were determined and analyzed. The energy use of aeration and the growth of aquatic worms were investigated during the process of in-situ sludge reduction by aquatic worms. For the wastewater treatment system adding with adequate aquatic worms, the power consumption was not increased and the utilization rate of oxygen was improved. The growth of aquatic worms well fitted DoseResp function and the sludge production was reduced evidently. Results indicate that the wastewater treatment adding with aquatic worms utilizes aeration energy sufficiently and reduces sludge production effectively.
