Abstract: In order to combine the properties of phosphate surfactants and silicone surfactants, the polyether-modified polysiloxane phosphate (PPSP) was prepared. Firstly, the intermediate was synthesized through the hydrosilylation of hydricpolysiloxane and alkyl polyether. Then the polyether-modified polysiloxane phosphate was prepared through the phosphorylation reaction of intermediate and P2O5. The optimum condition of the phosphorylation reaction was the reaction temperature was 80°C, reaction time was 3.5h and molar ratio of -OH: P2O5 was 3.0:1.0. The molecular structure of phosphate was characterized by FTIR and 31P-NMR. The components and their capabilities were also studied. The CMC of PPSP was 0.58g/L and the surface tension related was 25.78mN/m, but the foaming power of PPSP is relatively low.

Abstract: Semiconducting Mg2Si films were fabricated on Si (111) substrates by magnetron sputtering and subsequent annealing, and the effects of annealing atmosphere on the Mg2Si film growth were studied. The structural and morphological properties of Mg2Si films were investigated by the means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that annealing atmosphere was an important factor that affected the growth of Mg2Si thin films, and vacuum annealing was not suitable for preparing Mg2Si thin films. Only Si (111) substrate diffraction peaks were observed, and no Mg2Si diffraction peak was observed when the first six Mg/Si samples were annealed under vacuum annealing condition. However, many Mg2Si diffraction peaks were observed besides the Si substrate diffraction peaks when the second six Mg/Si samples were annealed under Ar gas atmosphere. In addition, compact and smooth Mg2Si thin films annealed under Ar gas atmosphere were obtained.

Abstract: Polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were surface-modified by the UV-induced graft polymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS). Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to characterize the structural and morphological changes on the membrane surface. Water contact angle of PSf-g-AMPS membrane surface decreased to 15.45° when AMPS concentration was 2 wt.%, which was nearly 35° lower than that of the unmodified membrane. The results of streaming potential measurement at different pressures implied the negatively charged characteristic of the PSf-g-AMPS membrane. The flux of PSf-g-AMPS membrane increased about 60% as compared to original PSf membrane and the rejection of heparin sodium for PSf-g-AMPS membrane achieved 78%, which was about 4 times that of PSf membrane at 0.04 MPa.

Abstract: Local rub-impact is common faults in rotating machinery and results in impact and friction between rotor and stator. The vibration signals due to impact and friction are always non-stationary which includes the rub-impact signal, the background signal and the noise signal. Local wave decomposition (LWD) is based upon the local characteristic time scale of signal and could decompose the complicated signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). However, because the weak rub-impact signal is always submerged in the background and noise signals. The LWD procedure would generate the components redundancy. In order to solve the problem, a novel method combining with independent component analysis (ICA) and LWD is proposed. ICA was introduced into LWD, so that the components are orthogonal to each other and the components redundancy can be removed. In the end, a much better decomposition performances can be obtained. Experimental analysis results show that the proposed method is accurate and efficient.

Abstract: Application of BP neural network and NIRS for larch wood density prediction was investigated in this paper. The original spectra were collected and pretreated with the first derivative and 9 point smoothing. Eleven typical wave lengths were selected as BP network inputs to establish prediction model for wood density. Model was validated using cross-validation approach. The prediction correlation coefficient (R) is 0.916 while the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) is 0.0221. The results showed that using BP neural network in near-infrared spectroscopy calibration could significantly improve the model performance in order to rapidly and accurately predict wood density.

Abstract: Corrosion law and mechanism of 20# low-carbon steel in near-neutral soil along Yangtze River in Nanjing are studied by experiments of buried specimens in laboratory. In three kinds of soils, the corrosion features and products are analyzed by EDS and XRD, and the relation of corrosion rates, open-circuit potential and polarization curve with times are tested. The results indicated that corrosion rates changed incessantly along. On the condition of the same times, specimens and different soil samples, the corrosive degree of 1# and 2# specimens are serious, but 3# specimen is serious lightly. The corrosion products are main non-crystalloid, Fe (OH) 3 and Fe2O3.The changing tendency of different times and soils is different, and accordant with that of corrosion rates. The corrosion mechanism is discussed lastly, in near-neutral soils, oxygen is deoxidized and OH- ions are created in cathode area, iron is oxidized and the hydration of Fe2+ ions is created with water from soil in anode area, and Fe2+ are converted into more steady products Fe（OH）3 and Fe2O3.

Abstract: The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) under microwave heating was studied. The effect of microwave supply power on H2S decomposition rate was investigated over MoS2 catalyst and found that 100W was an optimal microwave supply power for this reaction. That is to say, the pathway of H2S decomposition under microwave conditions is different with that under conversional conditions. The activities of Co catalyst with different supports were also compared. The results show that under microwave heating conditions, comparing with Co/ZSM-5 and Co/X-zeolite, Co/5A has a higher activity for decomposition of H2S.

Abstract: Hot stamping is an innovative way to manufacture complex-shaped components of high strength steel (HSS) sheet with a minimum of springback, meanwhile, it can also obviously improve the tensile strength of the formed parts.The coupled thermo-mechanical FE model for hot stamping of HSS sheet for the B pillar was established by commercial software Pam-stamp. Dynamic explicit module was used to simulate the forming processes under different process parameters. The effects of process parameters on thinning of the blank were studied, the maximum thinning zones of the blank in hot stamping were analyzed. The results show that the thinning rates of the blank increase when the blank holder force(BHF) and friction coefficient increase, the maximum thinning zones appear at the straight wall and corner of the B pillar. The causal of blank thinning during hot stamping was analyzed. Experiments had been conducted with the process parameters obtained by simulation. The experimental and simulation results were in good agreement.

Abstract: Image registration based on mutual information which shown to be effective is a computationally intensive process, and thus difficult to implement in real-time. A real-time hardware platform for visible and infrared image fusion is presented. The architecture takes field programmable gate array (FPGA) as its main processor, and integrates both kernel algorithm and peripheral management on its. Real-time performance can be achieved by optimizing hardware resource and algorithm, alone with memory access parallelization and processing unit execute pipelining. The analysis result shows hardware architecture can evaluate image fusion for 160x120 arrays image less than 36ms, and fusion image improves the target detection and recognition probability.
