In this paper, the stress distribution field in front of the crack tip was obtained by loading a modified WOL specimen using a bolt. Considering the relationship between microhardness and hydrogen content or internal stress in the metal, a model based on the change of microhardness increment is proposed to describe the trend of hydrogen concentration distribution in the stress environment. The agreement between theoretical model and experimental results is verified by the Vickers microhardness tester. Based on the model, there is a simple additive relationship between the hydrogen-induced microhardness increment and the stress-induced microhardness increment. Therefore, the microhardness tester can be employed to evaluate the hydrogen distribution in metals quantitatively. The experimental results demonstrated that the Vickers microhardness method has accurately revealed the hydrogen concentration behavior accurately in a known equibiaxial stress environment. The hydrogen distribution of specimens in the stress environment was analyzed by taking the change of the microhardness increment along the crack propagation direction of specimens as the indicator.

In this paper, we study the singularly perturbed problem for the Schrödinger–Poisson equation with critical growth. When the perturbed coefficient is small, we establish the relationship between the number of solutions and the profiles of the coefficients. Furthermore, without any restriction on the perturbed coefficient, we obtain a different concentration phenomenon. Besides, we obtain an existence result.

How does disease threat influence sexual attitudes and behaviors? Although research on the influence of disease threat on social behavior has grown considerably, the relationship between perceived disease threat and sexual attitudes remains unclear. The current preregistered study (analyzed N = 510), investigated how experimental reminders of disease threat influence attitudes and anticipated future behaviors pertaining to short-term sexual relationships, using an ecologically valid disease prime. The central preregistered prediction was that experimental manipulation of disease threat would lead to less favorable attitudes and inclinations toward sexual promiscuity. Results were consistent with this preregistered prediction, relative to both a neutral control condition and a non-disease threat condition. These experimental results were buttressed by the finding that dispositional variation in worry about disease threat predicted less favorable attitudes and inclinations toward short-term sexual relationships. This study represents the first preregistered investigation of the implications of acute disease threat for sexual attitudes.

The Relationship

High whiteness paper is likely to cause visual fatigue. The relationship between whiteness and visual comfort is studyed by adopting the form of a combination of presentation reading and questionnaires. The experimental results show that, during the reading process, the higher of paper whiteness, the greater the chance of looked up, eye rubbing, and other little tricks, at the same time, the easier inattentive, have a negative impact on reading effect.

The elastic properties of nickel beryllide have been evaluated from room temperature to 1000 °C. The room temperature modulus is measured to be 186 GPa, which is relatively low by comparison with other B2 aluminides such as NiAl and CoAl. Hardness measurements were carried out on specimens that had compositions over the range from 49 to 54 at. % Be, using both a Vickers microhardness tester and a nanoindentor. It was found that the hardness of NiBe exhibits a minimum at the equiatomic composition. This behavior is similar to that of aluminides of the same crystal structure, e.g., NiAl and CoAl. The effect of interstitial oxygen on the hardness of NiBe has also been studied and the results show that the presence of oxygen in NiBe can cause a significant increase in hardness. It is demonstrated that the hardness increase for the off-stoichiometric compositions is primarily caused by interstitial oxygen and can only be attributed partially to anti-site defects generated in off-stoichiometric compositions. Nickel beryllides appear to have some intrinsic room temperature ductility, as evidenced by the absence of cracking near hardness indentations.

The Relationship

The equation ε eff ∝ (ϕc - ϕ)-s which shows the relationship between effective dielectric constant (εeff) and the filler concentration (φ), is widely used to determine the percolation behavior and obtain parameters, such as percolation threshold φc and the power constant s in conductor–dielectric composites (CDCs). Six different systems of CDCs were used to check the expression by fitting experimental results. It is found that the equation can fit the experimental results at any frequency. However, it is found that the fitting constants do not reflect the real percolation behavior of the composites. It is found that the dielectric constant is strongly dependent on the frequency, which is mainly due to the fact that the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant for the composites close to φc is almost independent of the matrix.

Aiming at solving the problems of occlusion and illumination in face recognition, a new method of face recognition based on Kernel Principal Components Analysis (KPCA) and Collaborative Representation Classifier (CRC) is developed. The KPCA can obtain effective discriminative information and reduce the feature dimensions by extracting faces nonlinear structures features, the decisive factor. Considering the collaboration among the samples, the CRC which synthetically consider the relationship among samples is used. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm obtains good recognition rates and also improves the efficiency. The KCRC algorithm can effectively solve the problem of illumination and occlusion in face recognition.

This study discussed the photoreduction of Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solutions by UV/TiO2photocatalytic processes under various operational factors. Experimental results showed that the removal rate of Cr(VI) increased with decreasing solution pH values and with increasing dosages of organic compounds, indicating that the recombination rate of electrons and h+can be retarded in the reaction systems by the addition of the scavenger, thus raising the reaction rate of Cr(VI). The relationship of the chemical reaction rate of Cr(VI), TiO2dosage, and changes of Cr(VI) concentration was expressed by the pseudo-first-order kinetic equation. Comparing the experimental results of two different doping metals in modified TiO2photoreduction systems, the removal rate of Cr(VI) by the Ag/TiO2process is larger, possibly because the electron transferring ability of Ag is superior to that of Cu. However, the photoreduction rates of Cr(VI) by modified UV/TiO2processes are worse than those by a nonmodified commercial UV/TiO2process.
