Measurement of Cadmium Ion in the Presence of Metal-Binding Biopolymers in Aqueous Sample by Jian Pu, Kensuke Fukushi

“…In aqueous environment, water-soluble polymers are effectively used to separate free metal ions from metal-polymer complexes. The feasibilities of four different analytical techniques, cadmium ion-selective electrode, dialysis sack, chelate disk cartridge, and ultrafiltration, in distinguishing biopolymer-bound and nonbound cadmium in aqueous samples were investigated. …”

Development and Application of an Innovative Planning and Monitoring Tool to Optimize Construction Projects by Salazar Santos Fonseca, Patricia Aguilera Benito, Carolina Piña Ramírez

“…The primary dashboard facilitates the management of complex work structures—typically involving hundreds of rows in Gantt chart representations or numerous lines in Line of Balance diagrams—while enabling the easy identification of activity cycles and gaps between activities in each zone. The tool offers a four-dimensional planning visualization—what, where, when, and who—enhancing the understanding of activity sequences and workflows across project zones, while also contributing to product quality improvement. …”

SEALING STRUCTURE RESEARCH ON RUBBER OF THE COMPRESSION OPEN HOLE PACKER by LI Bin, ZHANG DongYang, LI Qiang, SHEN HuanYu, YANG Shuang

“…Based on the elasticity theory,the maximum contact pressure of packer rubber setting was derived and a new sealing structure of compression open hole packer was constructed which consisted of four-rubbers. By using ABAQUS,the contact stress distribution between conventional and new combined rubbers were comparativelly analyzed in the same condition,and the head face bevel of new type combined rubbers was optimized.In the end,the effects on contact stress of new type combined rubber tube caused by friction factor were discussed. …”

Information Diffusion Interpolation Model Based on the PSO-CV Algorithm and Its Application on Source Regions of the Yellow River by HUANG Huaping, YIN Kaixia, JIN Gaoyang

“…The spatial interpolation based on the limited observation data of precipitation stations is an effective means to explore the spatial characteristics of precipitation.This paper briefly introduces a spatial interpolation model based on the information diffusion theory,proposes an optimal information diffusion interpolation model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and cross-validation (CV) with consideration of the disadvantages on key parameter estimation of existing experience information diffusion interpolation model,and evaluates the interpolation effect of the information diffusion interpolation model in terms of four time scales of year,quarter,month and day with inverse distance weighting,ordinary kriging method,universal kriging method and co-kriging method considering the elevation as comparison,taking the source regions of the Yellow River as an example.The results show that overall,the optimal information diffusion interpolation model has the highest accuracy,while the inverse distance weighting has the lowest accuracy.The accuracy of experience information diffusion interpolation model does not differ much from the other three spatial interpolation methods,and the accuracy differences between different methods decrease as the time scale decreases.…”
