Multi-objective imperfect maintenance for dependent competing risk systems with multiple degradation processes
No full textMultiple competing risks are one of the important topics in reliability field, especially degradation processes and random shocks. This research aims to relax the independent assumption by considering that there exist dependent relationships not only among multiple degradation measures but also between degradation measure and random shocks. In reality, many systems have multiple components with more than one degradation measure which is dependent with each other due to their interplaying functions or common usage history. Independent assumption may underestimate system reliability estimation under many cases. Random shocks will also contribute to the system failure through two ways: (1) one is working directly on the degradation processes; (2) the other is causing immediate failure to the system. We develop a new methodology to formulate the reliability prediction model for the gradually degradating systems subject to multiple dependent competing risks of degradation processes and random shocks. Two kinds of random shocks are considered: (1) fatal shocks, which fail the system immediately; (2) non-fatal shocks, which exhibit two effects on the system degradation process, including sudden degradation increment and degradation rate acceleration. The dependency between degradation processes and random shocks are modulated by a time-scaled covariate factors while the dependency among degradation processes are fitted by copula method. Also the reliability and state probability estimation for the systems are derived under the research scope of multi-state system using both analytical and Monte Carlo simulation for the dependent competing-risk systems. Different maintenance policy models involving imperefect preventive maintenance for this dependent model are introducted and compared with each other. Multi-objective optimization is applied to consider two important targets simultaneously in maintenance issues, including long-run expected cost rate and system availability.Ph.

Quantifying uranium radio-isotope ratios in riverine suspended particulate matter: Insights into natural and anthropogenic influences in the glacial-fed river system of the NE Tibetan Plateau
No full textThe analysis of uranium isotope ratio 235U/238U in environmental media serves as a reliable method to distinguish between natural and anthropogenic sources of uranium, playing a crucial role in assessing the extent of contamination with anthropogenic uranium and disturbances in its biogeochemical cycle. In this study, we focus on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau to examine the atomic ratio of 235U and 238U in riverine suspended particulate matter (SPM) across eight glacial watersheds. Results reveal that the 235U/238U atomic ratio in the suspended load ranges from 0.007247 to 0.007437 (with an average value of 0.00727 +/- 0.00003), which closely aligns with the ratio found in natural uranium (0.00725). The highest mean ratio (0.00729 +/- 0.00007) is observed in the upper glacial basin of the Ningchan River. Results suggest the negligible influence of isotopically altered in relation to human nuclear activities. When considering different environmental media, such as soil, snow/cryoconite, and riverine suspended particulate matter in the study area, the 235U/238U ratio in surface soil presents the highest values, pointing to a slight enrichment of 235U. This may be attributed to the fact that soil retains the cumulative signals of uranium atmospheric deposition, including the deposition of 235U-enriched airborne particulate matter deposited after atmospheric nuclear tests carried out in the second half of the 20th century. On the contrary, riverine suspended particulate matter and glacial sediments are more influenced by the natural 235U/238U signature under modern environmental conditions. This confirms that the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is still relatively pristine with respect to biogeochemical disturbances related to human activities
α-FeOOH quantum dots impregnated graphene oxide hybrids enhanced arsenic adsorption: The mediation role of environmental organic ligands
No full textOrganic ligands have great potential to modulate the structure of iron oxides mineral in the natural environment and affect those minerals' adsorption performances for arsenic species. This study was designed to examine the adsorption potential of goethite quantum dots impregnated graphene oxide hybrids (alpha-FeOOH QDs@GO) obtained through the consecutive modulation of beta-FeOOH with organic ligands acetate (Ac) and graphene oxide (GO) comparing with that of akaganeite impregnated GO (beta-FeOOH@GO) and akaganeite (beta-FeOOH). The organic modulation greatly changes the structural properties of those three iron oxides hybrids with various crystalline, morphology, particle size, and surface area, thus leading to the obviously different arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) adsorption performances. The maximum As(III) adsorption capacity on alpha-FeOOH QDs@GO is 147.38 mg g(-1), which is 2.52 and 4.60 times larger than that of beta-FeOOH@GO and beta-FeOOH, respectively. The maximum As(V) adsorption capacity on beta-FeOOH@GO is 69.03 mg g(-1), which is 1.62 and 4.15 times larger than that of alpha-FeOOH QDs@GO and beta-FeOOH, respectively. The arsenic adsorption mechanism on alpha-FeOOH QDs@GO reveals that hydroxyl and Ac ligand exchange were the main pathways for arsenic adsorption. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Yi Juzan fa shi wei li
No full textAs all above, Ven. Ju Zan served as an active coordinator between the central government and Buddhist sanga, tried his best to avoid the potential contradiction during the adaptation of Chinese Buddhism to socialism. Confronted with the inevitable social-political reformation launched by the powerful communist regime, Ju Zan did not fully surrender his faith, but did whatever he can to make Buddhism survive from the dramatic changes.As the Korean War broke out in 1950, Chinese government decided to send a voluntary army to the front line and mobilized the whole country to support the war. Ven. Ju Zan reinterpreted the Mahayana doctrine, emphasized the concept of compassionate killing and repayment of kindness based on patriotism, justified the legitimacy of Buddhist participation in the Resist America Aid Korea Movement. And the Buddhists successfully proved their patriotic and political loyalty to the socialist regime.The main purpose of this research is to survey how Chinese Buddhism adopted itself to socialism though the case study of Ven. Ju Zan during the founding period of People' Republic of China. Since the communists assumed power, the new government carried out a series of socialist reform in order to reconstruct the whole society. Buddhists also have to make adjustment for survival.To adapt the ideological change after 1949, many progressive Buddhist scholars tried to link up Buddhism and Marxism, created a type of new Buddhist doctrine system with the name of Buddho-Marxist Syncretism. The main concern of these syncretists was clarifying the validity of Buddhism in the socialist era. Although Ven. Ju Zan believed that Buddhism and Marxism are consistent, he noticed the potential risk of excessive demonstration would blur the boundary between them. Then Ju Zan persuaded all the Buddhists should pay more attention to the Self Remolding Movement.Ven. Ju Zan played a distinctive role as the leader during this adapting process. The innovation of Chinese Buddhism after 1949 can be regarded as the legacy of the Buddhist reform initiated by Master Taixu in the Republic period. Ju Zan is an excellent follower of Tai Xu and greatly influenced by him. Ju Zan is also an activist with critical consciousness. After the death of Mater Tai Xu in 1947 and the triumph of Chinese Communist Party in the civil war, he decided to cooperate with the communist regime and carry out the refonn of Buddhism. Ju Zan submitted a reform plan of Chinese Buddhism to the central government, advocated self labor of the sanga, which may develop a lifestyle for Chinese Buddhism in the circumstance of the Land Reform and the socialist transformation of national economy.竇亞平.Adviser: Yu Xue.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: .Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010.Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-208).Electronic reproduction.
