Being able to predict cumulative plastic deformation of soil under cyclic loading has been quite a popular subject for researchers both in the past and at present. In this paper, a non-equal interval non-homogeneous exponential grey model NNGM (1, 1) for cumulative plastic deformation has been...

An experiment system made up of a membrane absorption unit and a membrane vacuum regeneration unit was set up. Ionic liquids (ILs), 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) and 1-(3-aminopropyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([apmim][BF4]) as two absorbents for CO2...

We propose an explanatory and computational theory of transformative discoveries in science. The theory is derived from a recurring theme found in a diverse range of scientific change, scientific discovery, and knowledge diffusion theories in philosophy of science, sociology of science, social...

Through the overview of main problems existing in chives production, its current situation and history, the thesis puts forward countermeasures for developing chives industrialization in Xiaogang Town, Xiaogan City.

Visual sensitivity decreases with age, and this presumably has an impact on face recognition. However, the relationship between aging in basic visual processing and in the sensory and cognitive mechanisms mediating face recognition is not well understood. Face detection, a foundational step in...

We prepared gradated nano-transient layers at different interfaces between deposited film and substrates by high-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) irradiation. The deposited film was (Al–Si) alloy and substrates were Ni and Ti, respectively. The gradated nano-transient layers at different...

Due to the disadvantage of enterprise information construction in B2B and B2C business models, companies cannot keep up with immediate information in developing customer service, inventory management, and customer web front-end experience. Based on the SaaS information service concept, this...

A novel auto-cascade Rankine cycle (ARC) is proposed to reduce thermodynamics irreversibility and improve energy utilization. Like the Kalina cycle, the working fluid for the ARC is zeotropic mixture, which can improve the system efficiency due to the temperature slip that zeotropic mixtures...
