In this paper, the novel model of fluid-conveying imperfect pipe supported at both ends is established by considering the geometric imperfection and the geometric nonlinearity induced by mid-plane stretching. The integral-partial differential equation is discretized by the Galerkin method and solved by a fourth-order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm. Compared with the supercritical pitchfork bifurcation of the perfect pipe conveying fluid, the results show that the cusp bifurcation occurs in the imperfect pipe when increasing the flow velocity. Excellent agreement is observed between the numerical results and the analytical results. The two stable asymmetry bifurcation branches bring interesting phenomena in the post-buckling state. The global nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the imperfect pipe are studied by establishing the bifurcation diagrams. The influence of the geometric imperfection amplitude on the nonlinear response is leading to cusp bifurcation comparing with pitchfork bifurcation of the perfect pipe. When pulsation frequency is set as the bifurcation parameter, there are clear nonresonance ranges, low energy resonance ranges and high energy resonance ranges. In the high energy resonance ranges, the first mode vibration coexisting with the sub-harmonic resonance and combination resonance occurs. As the mean flow velocity and pulsation amplitude are set as bifurcation parameters, the vibration of the imperfect pipe becomes more and more complicated. The vibration exhibits far richer dynamic behaviors including periodic, multi-periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motions. The viscoelastic damping can effectively suppress the vibration response and transfer the high energy resonance to the low energy resonance state. The improved model and corresponding results provide useful information for further studying the dynamic behaviors of fluid-conveying pipe with geometric imperfections.

Self Organized

A simple method is used to prepare highly monodispersed silver nanoparticles in the liquid phase, which starts from an initial synthesis in functionalized AOT reverse micelles. To narrow the particle size distribution from 43 to 12.5% in dispersion, the particles are extracted from the micellar solution. The size-selected precipitation method is used. The nanocrystallites dispersed in hexane are deposited on a support. A monolayer made of nanoparticles with spontaneous compact hexagonal organization is observed. The immersion of the support on the solution yields to the formation of organized multilayers arranged as microcrystal in a face-centered-cubic structure. We compare the optical properties of spherical particles organized in a two- and three-dimensional structure with isolated and disordered particles. When particles, deposited on cleaved graphite, are arranged in a hexagonal array, the optical measurements under p-polarization show a new high-energy resonance, which is interpreted as a collective effect, resulting from optical anisotropy due to the mutual interactions between particles. We support this interpretation by numerical calculations performed for finite-size clusters of silver spheres. For disordered particles, a low-energy resonance appears instead of the high-energy resonance observed for spherical and organized particles. This is interpreted as optical shape anisotropy due to the asymmetrical arrangement of particles. The tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) may be used as an extremely localized source of low-energy electrons to locally excite photon emission from a variety of metal films. The detection of locally excited luminescence at the junction of an STM tip provides access to electron dynamic properties at the surface, which makes it possible to study luminescence phenomena of nanometer-sized structures. The photon intensity emitted from electrically isolated silver nanoparticles self-organized as a 2D network on a gold (111) substrate is analyzed. We observed unexpectedly strong variations of photon-emission efficiency from isolated nanoparticles, depending on how tightly they are embedded within the network site. The quenching site observed in the STM photon emission map is interpreted as an enhanced interaction of electrons with surface photon modes.

Journey Time

Transportation efficiency can be measured in terms of the energy needed to move a person or a tonne of freight over a given distance. For passengers, journey time is important, so an equally useful measure is the product of the energy used and the time taken for the journey. Transportation requires storage of energy. Rechargeable systems such as batteries have very low energy densities as compared to fossil fuels. The highest energy densities come from nuclear fuels, although, because of shielding requirements, these are not practical for most forms of transportation. Liquid hydrocarbons represent a nice compromise between high energy density and ease of use.

The complex physical and chemical reactions between the large number of low-energy (0–30 eV) electrons (LEEs) released by high energy radiation interacting with genetic material can lead to the formation of various DNA lesions such as crosslinks, single strand breaks, base modifications, and cleavage, as well as double strand breaks and other cluster damages. When crosslinks and cluster damages cannot be repaired by the cell, they can cause genetic loss of information, mutations, apoptosis, and promote genomic instability. Through the efforts of many research groups in the past two decades, the study of the interaction between LEEs and DNA under different experimental conditions has unveiled some of the main mechanisms responsible for these damages. In the present review, we focus on experimental investigations in the condensed phase that range from fundamental DNA constituents to oligonucleotides, synthetic duplex DNA, and bacterial (i.e., plasmid) DNA. These targets were irradiated either with LEEs from a monoenergetic-electron or photoelectron source, as sub-monolayer, monolayer, or multilayer films and within clusters or water solutions. Each type of experiment is briefly described, and the observed DNA damages are reported, along with the proposed mechanisms. Defining the role of LEEs within the sequence of events leading to radiobiological lesions contributes to our understanding of the action of radiation on living organisms, over a wide range of initial radiation energies. Applications of the interaction of LEEs with DNA to radiotherapy are briefly summarized.

Abstract Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated low-energy relics of high-energy extensions of the Standard Model, which interact with the known particles through higher-dimensional operators suppressed by the mass scale Λ of the new-physics sector. Starting from the most general dimension-5 interactions, we discuss in detail the evolution of the ALP couplings from the new-physics scale to energies at and below the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. We derive the relevant anomalous dimensions at two-loop order in gauge couplings and one-loop order in Yukawa interactions, carefully considering the treatment of a redundant operator involving an ALP coupling to the Higgs current. We account for one-loop (and partially two-loop) matching contributions at the weak scale, including in particular flavor-changing effects. The relations between different equivalent forms of the effective Lagrangian are discussed in detail. We also construct the effective chiral Lagrangian for an ALP interacting with photons and light pseudoscalar mesons, pointing out important differences with the corresponding Lagrangian for the QCD axion.

Automatic Sorting

As an important part of pretreatment before recycling, sorting has a great impact on the quality, efficiency, cost and difficulty of recycling. In this paper, dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) combined with variable gas-ejection is used to improve the quality and efficiency of in-line automatic sorting of waste non-ferrous metals. A method was proposed to judge the sorting ability, identify the types, and calculate the mass and center-of-gravity coordinates according to the shading of low-energy, the line scan direction coordinate and transparency natural logarithm ratio of low energy to high energy (R_value). The material identification was satisfied by the nearest neighbor algorithm of effective points in the material range to the R_value calibration surface. The flow-process of identification was also presented. Based on the thickness of the calibration surface, the material mass and center-of-gravity coordinates were calculated. The feasibility of controlling material falling points by variable gas-ejection was analyzed. The experimental verification of self-made materials showed that identification accuracy by count basis was 85%, mass and center-of-gravity coordinates calculation errors were both below 5%. The method proposed features high accuracy, high efficiency, and low operation cost and is of great application value even to other solid waste sorting, such as plastics, glass and ceramics.

AbstractAg50Cu50 films were deposited on glass substrates by a sputtering system. Effects of accumulated energy on nanoparticle formation in pulse-laser dewetting of AgCu films were investigated. The results showed that the properties of the dewetted films were found to be dependent on the magnitude of the energy accumulated in the film. For a low energy accumulation, the two distinct nanoparticles had rice-shaped/Ag60Cu40 and hemispherical/Ag80Cu20. Moreover, the absorption spectra contained two peaks at 700 nm and 500 nm, respectively. By contrast, for a high energy accumulation, the nanoparticles had a consistent composition of Ag60Cu40, a mean diameter of 100 nm and a peak absorption wavelength of 550 nm. Overall, the results suggest that a higher Ag content of the induced nanoparticles causes a blue shift of the absorption spectrum, while a smaller particle size induces a red shift.
