Mathematical simulation of the processes of two-beam laser controlled thermal-splitting of quartz glass by V. A. Emelyanov, E. B. Shershnev, S. I. Sokolov, A. N. Kupo

“…The simulation results show that with a bi-beam effect, the micromechanical stresses necessary for the formation of a microcrack are realized in shorter time intervals, both on the surface and in the depth of the material, which allows increasing the processing speed by up to 30 %. Strengthening control over the process of controlled thermal cracking can significantly reduce the percentage of defects and improve the quality of the resulting microeletronics products.…”

Location- and feature-based selection histories make independent, qualitatively distinct contributions to urgent visuomotor performance by Emily E Oor, Emilio Salinas, Terrence R Stanford

“…Attention mechanisms guide visuomotor behavior by weighing physical salience and internal goals to prioritize stimuli as choices for action. Although less well studied, selection history, which reflects multiple facets of experience with recent events, is increasingly recognized as a distinct source of attentional bias. …”

Feedrate Fluctuation Minimization for NURBS Tool Path Interpolation Based on Arc Length Compensation and Iteration by Xing Liu, Pengxin Yu, Haiduo Chen, Bihui Peng, Zhao Wang, Fusheng Liang

“…In the interpolation cycle, the position of the next interpolation point is required to be calculated in real-time to guide the action of the machining process. Due to the existence of the positioning error of the interpolation point, it is extremely difficult to eliminate the feedrate fluctuation, which may lead to dramatic decreases in machining quality and the driving capabilities’ saturation of each axis. …”

Simulation of mixed flow characteristics of distiller′s grains-wastewater for anaerobic fermentation by Beibei YAN, Xiaoyun LIU, Shengquan ZHOU, Guanyi CHEN, Ziqiang ZHANG, Yonggang ZHANG

“…The simulation results showed that the slurry inside the curved blade at the top of the rotor reached a maximum velocity of 48.06 m/s and gradually decreased to zero along the radial direction. Due to the rotor's high-speed rotation, a high-pressure zone and a low-pressure zone were formed on each side of the rotor, with a maximum working pressure of 0.306 MPa. …”
