Abstract: Let M ({ nk } k ≥1,{ ck }k≥1) be the collection of homogeneous Moran sets determined by { n k}k≥1and { ck }k≥1, where { nk }k≥1 is a sequence of positive integers and { ck }k≥1 a sequence of positive numbers. Then the maximal and minimal values of Hausdorff dimensions for elements in M are determined. The result is proved that for any value s between the maximal and minimal values, there exists an element in M { nk } k ≥1, { ck } k ≥1) such that its Hausdorff dimension is equal to s. The same results hold for packing dimension. In the meantime, some other properties of homogeneous Moran sets are discussed.

First, the analytical solution of which the derivative order is 1/2 is derived with the analytical solution and the reliability of Laplace numerical inversion based on Crump algorithm for the problem is verified, then the characteristics of second-order fluid flow in the rheometer by using Crump method is analyzed. The results indicate that the more obvious the viscoelastic properties of fluid are, the more sensitive the dependence of velocity and stress on fractional derivative order is.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the microstructural change and lattice space symmetry of nano-SnO2 on the annealing temperature has been studied systematically using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
Abstract: The dependence of the microstructural change and lattice space symmetry of nano-SnO2 on the annealing temperature has been studied systematically using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Comparing the results of nano-SnO2 with the results of amorphous film and single crystal of SnO2, it is found that the new Raman peaks N1 and N2 are in accordance with Matossi’s force constant model completely. When the annealing temperature is near 673K, the local lattice disorders and the density of vacant lattice decrease rapidly in the nano-SnO2 grains. The lattice distortion and the new Raman peaks disappear almost at the same time. The possible mechanisms of the microstructural change and the new Raman peaks N1 and N2 are discussed.

The limitation vector function is just the unique generalized solution of the original problem for the parabolic system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the heating effect of the system in the microwave field, which was influenced by several factors including dielectric properties of synthesis system and thermal insulate structures, was discussed in detail.
Abstract: Microwave equipment at 2 450 MHz was employed to prepare BaTiO3. The heating effect of the system in the microwave field, which was influenced by several factors including dielectric properties of synthesis system and thermal insulate structures, was discussed in detail. The heating rates of the synthesis system were mainly determined by BaCO3 and TiO2 at low temperature and by TiO2 and BaTiO3 at high temperature. The results show that the heating effects in microwave field are greatly different from those in conventional furnace. The reaction of BaCO3 and TiO2 only lasts for 3 min at 1 100°C, and the fine, narrow-distributed and well-crystallized powders were prepared.

TL;DR: A new algorithm of sequential systems of linear equations for general nonlinear optimization problems with arbitrary initial point is presented that only needs to solve three systems oflinear equations having the same coefficient matrix per iteration, and has global convergence and local superlinear convergence.
Abstract: For current sequential quadratic programming (SQP) type algorithms, there exist two problems: (i) in order to obtain a search direction, one must solve one or more quadratic programming subproblems per iteration, and the computation amount of this algorithm is very large. So they are not suitable for the large-scale problems; (ii) the SQP algorithms require that the related quadratic programming subproblems be solvable per iteration, but it is difficult to be satisfied. By using e-active set procedure with a special penalty function as the merit function, a new algorithm of sequential systems of linear equations for general nonlinear optimization problems with arbitrary initial point is presented. This new algorithm only needs to solve three systems of linear equations having the same coefficient matrix per iteration, and has global convergence and local superlinear convergence. To some extent, the new algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of the SQP algorithms mentioned above.

Abstract: The difference of intermediate products, microstructure and element concentration in the particles between microwave synthesized samples and conventional samples was responsible for the existence of non-thermal effect in the microwave field The diffusions of Ba2+, Ti4+ in the microwave field were enhanced, so that the diffusion of Ti4+ could not be neglected as in the conventional solid state reactions The influences of the microwave field were mainly expressed as diffusion coefficient and the driving force of ionic motion The intermediate phase Ba2TiO4 which occurred in the conventional solid reaction was not found during microwave syntheses The quantity analyses based on XRD experimental data show that the reaction dynamics in microwave is suitable for the Carter equation The activity energy for reaction of BaCO3 and TiO2 in the microwave field was 4226 kj/mol, which was only one fifth of the conventional reaction

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pressure gradient on coherent structures in a turbulent boundary layer is investigated by using the idea of resonant triad of the theory of hydrodynamic stability.
Abstract: By using the idea of resonant triad of the theory of hydrodynamic stability, the effect of pressure gradient on coherent structures in a turbulent boundary layer is investigated. The favorable pressure gradient suppresses the generation of the coherent structure, while the adverse pressure gradient has the opposite effect. The scale, form, as well as the propagation speed of the coherent structures are different from those with zero pressure gradient. The theoretical results are, in general, in agreement with those found from experiments. From the calculated probability density curve of the circulation differences of the nearly streamwise vortex pairs, it is found that the adverse pressure gradient makes the vortex pair more symmetric.
