 In order to reduce the potential interference with users′ current activities through proactive recommendation and improve the users′ experience, a proactive recommendation model of adapting to users′ changing requirements was proposed. This model concerned with the users′ potential demands for proactive information given by the system, and especially the volatility of those demands. This model adopted an acceptance vector to evaluate the user′s demand for proactive information,  and the decision tree algorithm was  applied to conduct rule-based reasoning by means of the user′s historical context, and then the users′ acceptance vectors for context recommendation was given. The recommendation acceptance vectors could be adjusted according to the changing  context and user′s feedback. The experimental results showed that the proposed  model could adaptively respond to the users′ changing requirements, which was helpful to improve the user experience.

The text information flow of SMS had carried abundant information resources. In order to find out the hot events behind it, an online sorting algorithm was  given for the text information flow of SMS. This method  used the co-occurrence frequency of feature words to define its relevance. And the similarity of message texts was  defined on the basis of preamble information collection and information frequency. Furthermore, after each time period of clustering,  the clustered SMS texts were classified periodically. This algorithm had higher efficiency to find hot events for a large number of short text information retrieval. Moreover, this algorithin  reduced the possibility of false detection and missed detection. Based on the comparison of experiments on algorithms between real data sets and Single-Pass, the  results  showed that  each index was improved to some degree.

The problem of robust and non-fragile stabilization and robust non-fragile H∞ control for a class of neutral stochastic time-delay systems with normbounded parameter uncertainties was studied. The sufficient conditions  ensuring the closedloop system meansquare asymptotically stable were established With the additive and multiplicative gain uncertainty in the controller, based on the Lyapunov functional, Ito formula and Schur theory. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions were obtained for the solvability of robust non-fragile H∞ control of the uncertain system. The memory state feedback non-fragile H∞ controllers of the stochastic neutral delay system were designed by solving linear matrix inequality. The numerical example was provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

The interaction modes of one glycine molecule with prinstine and H-modified (3, 3) armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated based on PW91／DND and PW91／DNP method. The geometries and energetical changes of each mode were explored. The H-bonds influence on the interaction energies between Glycine and ASWCNT or ASWCNT-H were discussed. The calculations suggested that the binding energy (ΔE) between glycine and CNT (ASWCNT-H) falled in the scope of 10～ 20kJ／mol, which belonged  to the weak interaction. Compared with the interaction  with ASWCNT, the binding energy of Gly with ASWCNT-H increased about 3～4kJ／mol. The electron transfer values from Gly to ASWCNT (or ASWCNT-H) were closely related with their mutual binding strength.

 The graphene(GR) was prepared via a facial oxidationreduction method, and  its adsorption behavior with tetracycline(TC) was also studied. The characterization results, such as X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations, showed that the synthesised GR possessed laminated structure and high surface area. The effects of pH, adsorption time and temperature on the interaction between TC and GR were investigated by the equilibrium adsorption method. The results were fitted by the equation of adsorbent kinetics and isothermal curve. The optimal pH condition for the adsorption process ranged from 4.0 to 7.0. The adsorption reached at the balanced state in 20 minutes and the adsorption process could be well described by the pseudo second order model. The maximum adsorption capacity was respectively 172.1,  278.2, 467.6mg／g at 293, 303, 313K. The adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic in nature, which could be described well by Freundlich isotherm. The electrostatic interaction, van der Waals forces and π-based interaction might be the adsorption mechanisms of TC adsorption on GR.

The dynamic interfacial tensions between organic alkali ethanolamine and Shengli crude oils from five different blocks were investigated using the spinning drop method. The influence of different types of inorganic alkalis on the interfacial tensions of crude oils was compared with that of organic alkali. Experimental results showed that ethanolamine could react with petroleum acid to effectively reduce the interfacial tensions, and the ultra-low interfacial tension could be obtained at the optimum condition. The interfacial tensions between organic alkali solutions and crude oils were determined mainly by the content and structure of petroleum acids in the crude oils, and accordingly, the dynamic interfacial tensions showed quite different behaviors between ethanolamine and crude oils from different blocks. For both organic and inorganic alkalis, the weaker the alkalinity was, the lower the pH value needed to react with crude oil.

Based on the variable fuzzy set theory, the reservoir region immigration′s production and living standard was evaluated. First, the index system was constructed and the membership degrees were calculated, which was involved in immigration′s production and living standard, and then the variable fuzzy recognition model was established. Second, several different models were constructed to evaluate  the reservoir region immigrations′s production and living standard by varing the model parameters and weights of all indicators. Finally, the grade characteristic values of every model were calculated, and their stability was checked. This evaluation could properly determine the assessment level of the sample, which depended on the average values of the grade characteristics of the proposed models. This method was used to evaluate the reservoir region immigration′s production and living standard of Liangshan County in Dongping Lake reservoir. The example evaluation results proved the feasibility and reliability of this method.

In order to improve the CO₂ capture capacity of limestone in the cyclic calcination／carbonation cycles for coalfired power plants, the limestone was modified by the waste wood vinegar. The cyclic CO₂ capture behavior of the modified limestone was investigated in a calcination／carbonation reactor. The carbonation conversion was calculated according to change of the sample in the cyclic reactions, which characterized CO₂ capture capacity of the sample. The phase and the microstructure of the modified limestone were examined by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscope) analysis to reveal the reaction mechanism. The results showed that the cyclic carbonation conversion of the limestone was enhanced after the modification treatment. The modified limestone with lower ratio of limestone／waste wood vinegar got, higher carbonation conversion. The optimum ratio of limestone to waste wood vinegar was 20g／400mL. The modified limestone exhibited the highest cyclic carbonation conversion at 700℃. The modified limestone showed higher sintering resistance than the limestone at the high calcination temperature. The carbonation conversion of the modified limestone after 20 cycles achieved 46％ at the optimum reaction conditions, which was 2.9 times higher than that of the limestone. The main composition of the modified limestone was the calcium acetate hydrate. The calcined modified limestone demonstrated better microstructure in the multiple cycles,  compared with the limestone which was suitable for cyclic CO₂ capture.

In order to assess the effect of the classical fluid-to-fluid modeling technique of critical heat flux (CHF) applied to horizontal helically coiled tubes, CHF experiments for HFC-134a flow boiling in horizontal helically coiled tubes heated with high power DC source were carried out. The results of applying Ahmad and Katto model indicated that the flow scaling factor determined with the two models produced bigger errors for CHF modeling in horizontal helically coiled tubes, and both Ahmad and Katto model overestimated the experimental data. Based on the data analysis, an empirical correlation for flow scaling factor was proposed. The calculation results showed that this correlation predicted the CHF in horizontal helically coiled tubes under the experimental conditions within an error band of ±20％, and was obviously superior to Ahmad and Katto model in precision.

A new anti-islanding protection technique was proposed based on the characteristic of faulted current. This method artificially created short circuit in the port of distributed generator to produce a faulted pulse current, which could effectively reflect the change of the system impedance. The islanding status could be judged through monitoring and analyzing the faulted pulse current. The equation of the faulted pulse current was derived, and the criteria for the islanding determination were set up. Disturbance between signals and the effect on the system were also analyzed. Finally, this method was validated by theoretical analysis and computer simulation.
