Effect of Strain Rate on Hot Ductility of a Duplex Stainless Steel by Zhenhua Wang, Wenyuan Ma, Chengming Wang

“…The crack morphology was observed, and the dependence of hot ductility on the strain rate was analyzed. From 0.005 s–1 to 0.5 s–1, both the total elongation and the reduction in area increased with the strain rate. …”

Field Tests to Investigate the Penetration Rate of Piles Driven by Vibratory Installation by Zhaohui Qin, Longzhu Chen, Chunyu Song, Lei Sun

“…Piles with different lengths and types driven with or without clutch have different penetration rates. The working parameters of vibratory hammer, such as driving force and vibratory amplitude, have great influences on the penetration rate of the pile, especially at the later stages of the sinking process. …”

Reducing Fumigant Application Rates and Soil Emissions with Plastic Mulch Technology by Joseph W. Noling

“…With the new fumigant regulations and rising cost of crop production, including fumigants, it would be desirable to reduce the standard use rate of soil fumigants. The use of higher-barrier, gas-impermeable mulches may make it possible to reduce fumigant application rates by helping to contain the fumigant longer within the soil and reduce overall emissions into the atmosphere. …”

Modeling and prediction of HIV in China: transmission rates structured by infection ages by Yicang Zhou, Yiming Shao, Yuhua Ruan, Jianqing Xu, Zhien Ma, Changlin Mei, Jianhong Wu

“…HIV transmission process involves a long incubation and infectionperiod, and the transmission rate varies greatly with infection stage. Conse-quently, modeling analysis based on the assumption of a constant transmissionrate during the entire infection period yields an inaccurate description of HIVtransmission dynamics and long-term projections. …”

Adaptive measurement rate setting method in block compressed sensing of images by Ran LI, Zong-liang GAN, UIZi-guan C, UMing-hu W, HUXiu-chang Z

“…Traditional block compressed sensing (BCS) of images uses the same measurement rate to measure each block,but some blocking artifacts appear in the reconstructed image on accounting of varying spatial characteristics in an image.This problem can be effectively solved by adaptively setting different measurement rate for every block.However,these existing methods require original digital image at the collector,which cannot be realized by using practical compressive imaging (CI) devices.In order to overcome this shortage,an adaptive measurement rate setting method is proposed and it can be easily achieved though hardware equipments.This method uses the CS measurements acquired at the collector to estimate the sample variance of each block directly,and then adaptively sets measurement rate of each block in terms of their sample variances and realize rate control.Experimental results show that proposed method can obtain a better qual-ity of reconstructed image than non-adaptive scheme,but there is a gap between proposed method and the adaptive scheme using the true block sample variance since the sample variance estimated in the measurement domain has some deviations.…”

“…The mean integrated squared error, the asymptotic normality, and the law of iterated logarithm are studied. A comparison of gamma estimators with the local linear estimator for the density function and with hazard rate estimator proposed by Müller and Wang (1994), which are free from boundary bias, is investigated by simulations.…”
