Abstract: Three shortcomings and two errors of Zadeh's fuzzy set theory were analyzed and proved, and a new fuzzy set theory, C*-fuzzy set theory, was proposed. The new C*-fuzzy set considers the relationship between fuzzy sets and represents the relationship with relativity. It overcomes all the errors and shortcomings of Zadeh's fuzzy set theory:it correctly reflects different kinds of fuzzy phenomena in the natural world; set complement exists on it; it has uniform calculating formulas for membership; it satisfies all formulas of the classical set theory and is consistent with classical and normal thinking, logic and concepts.

Abstract: Based on analyzing the principle of continuous demulsification of liquid emulsion membrane by a centrifugal pulse electric field, a set of centrifugal pulse electric field continuous demulsifier was designed and fabricated with vertical cylinder insulated electrodes, which was used in laboratory. The effects of various factors on continuous demulsification were studied in extracting Cu2+ experiment by the liquid emulsion membrane composed of M6401-L113B-kerosene-H2SO4 or Lix984N-L113A-kerosene-H2SO4 from waste water. It is shown that the continuous demulsification by the centrifugal pulse electric field was successful. And the continuous demulsifying effectiveness of a centrifugal pulse electric field is better than that of a pulse electric field.
Abstract: Influencing factors on Ni bioaccumulation by Synechcoccus were studied. The equilibration time of Ni bioaccumulation was about 80 min in aqueous solution. The bioaccumulation quantity reached a maximum when the mass ratio of Ni to Synechcoccus was between 16%-18%, and increased with the increasing ofpH. The optimum pH was 9-10 because high pH would lead to precipitation of Ni(OH)2. The bioaccumulation quantity was also influenced by temperature and illumination intensity and the optimal condition was 35℃ and 3000 lx. The bioaccumulation of nonliving algae was lager than that of living algae.

The resuits showed that the size and morphology of inclusions in the non-quenched and tempered steel could be controlled by adjusting the contents of O, Al and Ti, and fine and disperse non-metallic inclusions might be obtained as the nuclei for intra-granular ferrite, which could refine grains and improve the strength and toughness of the steel.
Abstract: High temperature properties of continuous casting high carbon steels were measured by tensile tests with a Gleeble 1500 system and two embrittlement temperature regions of region Ⅰ and region Ⅲ were found. The results indicated that the cause of embrittlement in region I was the existence of liquid film along dendritic interfaces, and the embrittlement in region Ⅲ was caused by precipitation of proeutectoid ferrite film along austenite grain boundary. AIN precipitation at the full austenite grain boundary would worsen the ductility of the steels.

The combination of dry-wet circle test and EIS test would be applied to evaluate the weathering steel's corrosion-resistant performance rapidly and reasonably.

In order to overcome the deficiency of the original method proposed by Simo, i.e., the Hourglass modes appear in the case of compression, algorithms for updating stresses and interior variables were developed by using an optimal post-process technique. It were proved from numerical results that the improved EASM is of good stability especially in the case of large compressive situation being involved.
Abstract: A boundary value problem of governing equations for the concentration of crystal growth is solved in the two-dimension steady state considering the effect of uniform convection field. The differential equation is numerically discretized into a system of linear algebraic equations by using the finite difference method. In order to improve computational efficiency, the system of linear algebraic equations is decomposed to several sub-systems. The result of numerical simulation shows that the concentration of crystal growth in steady state presents oscillating attenuation along the direction of dendrite growth in the action of uniform convection field.

The γ' precipitation temperature of зп741нп is higher and the γ' amount is more than that of René95 or René88DT. The liquid segregation behaviors of the three alloys were compared and discussed.
Abstract: The densification of nanoscaled W-Cu powder was investigated through measurements of the shrinkage kinetic curves in hot pressing and hydrogen sintering and compared with that of nanoscaled W powder and traditional Cu powder. The resulted alloys were subjected to hot compression tests at 300℃ and 500℃ to obtain their stress-strain curves. It is indicated that the temperature corresponding to the highest shrinkage rate of nanoscaled W-Cu powder is 980℃ in hydrogen sintering. After sintering at 1200℃, the mean grain size of W phase is less than 2 μm, and the relative density of the alloy is 97%. In hot pressing, however the corresponding temperatures is 930℃. The mean grain size of W phase in the hot pressed alloy from nanoscaled W-Cu powder is 0.5μm at 1 200℃, and its relative density is 98%. The results of hot compression tests at 300℃ and 500℃ showed that the high-temperature strength of the ultrafine grained W-Cu alloy is higher than that of the alloy sintered from nanoscaled W powder and traditional Cu powder.

The experimental results show that the coating is uniform, dense and well combined with 316L stainless steel, with high hardness and elastic modulus.
Abstract: The Fe-Si3N4 powder, synthesized by flashing combustion process, is considered as a new-style raw material for the high temperature condition, but its fine performance has not been recognized. The Fe-Si3N4 powder less than 74μm was made into samples of 50 mm in diameter and 80 mm in height under a molding pressure of 250 kN. The apparent porosity, bulk density and strength resistance of the samples were measured by drilling a cylinder of 36mm in diameter and 50mm in height in the samples, which were sintered at 1 500℃ for 3 h under the air condition. SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction were employed to study the sintered samples. All the results showed that with Fe-Si3N4 as the raw material and no subsidiary materials, a refractory on the base of Fe-Si3N4 could be prepared at low temperature under the air condition with the combining action of Fe3Si, which originated from the material and was made by the reaction between Fe and Si3N4.
Abstract: Isochronal plots and a three-parameter linear viscoelastic model were used to characterize the stressrelaxation properties of PVA-H prosthetic nucleus and to analyze the influence of swelling ratio and initial PVA content upon the stress-relaxation properties. The results ofisochronal plots showed that PVA-H prosthetic nucleus followed a linear viscoelastic mechanical property. The three-parameter linear viscoelastic model can simulate the viscoelastic property of prosthetic nucleus well with the fitness more than 0.96. It can be seen from the analysis of parameters in the model that the increase of the swelling ratio will greatly increase the speed of dissipated stress of the prosthetic nucleus, and does not have too much influence on the total dissipated stress; but the increase of the initial PVA content will decrease both the speed and the total of the dissipating stress.
Abstract: Conducting polyaniline depended on environmental temperature. In order to determine the effect of temperature on polyaniline, polyanuline was electrosynthetized by the cyclic voltmmetric method in sulfuric acid. The thermal decomposition temperature ofpolyaniline was determined to be 285.7℃ by TAG. The thermal lifetimes were tested by the isothermal TG for regression of the lifetime equations at various weight-loss ratios of 5%, 7% and 10%. IR spectra showed that the characteristic absorption shifted to a higher number with increasing temperature, which was caused by the decreasing conjugate structure of polyaniline.

The simulated results showed the effectiveness of this algorithrn and after decoupled, the loopers' control performance got much better.

It could be used for developing and real-time testing AGC control strategies in off-line state.

Abstract: A noise reduction method in nonlinear time series based on phase reconstruction and manifold learning was proposed. In a high dimensional phase space, the inherent features of time series were exhibited as a low dimensional nonlinear principal manifold. The noise was reduced by the reconstruction with the underlying manifold which was obtained through a local tangent space alignment algorithm. Different from the existent noise reduction methods in nonlinear time series, the method based on principal manifold learning emphasized more on the global structure of time series. The results of numerical simulation proved that the method could remove the Gaussian white noise in nonlinear time series effectively.
