In this study, the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CS)/soluble starch (SS) composite hydrogel was prepared by the solution blending method, in which SS was used as a cross-linking agent to cross-link with PVA in order to improve the stability of PVA in the tissue fluid. The composition and the thermal stability of hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) . The result shows that the PVA/CS/SS composite hydrogel possesses potentially morphological and thermal stability and can be used for tissue engineering.

Based on the photochromic and photoluminescence theories, a block copolymer, which could be directly processed into nanofibers by electrospinning, was successfully prepared through atom transfer radical polymerization ( ATRP ) . To synthesize the block copolymer, a vinyl monomer containing a spiropyran unit was employed to prepare the photochromic chain segment, and a polymethyl methacrylate ( PMMA) chain segment was introduced to improve the processability of the block copolymer. Acting as the photoluminescence unit, the rare earth complex was linked to the side chain through coordination bonding between the rare earth ions and the ester groups of PMMA. When the photochromic and photoluminescence block copolymer was exposed to different wavelengths of ultraviolet ( UV ) light and visible ( Vis ) light, it could show white, red, green, yellow, and blue-purple. These results provide the potential of the as-prepared photochromic and photoluminescence block copolymer for application in fibers and fabrics.

Firstly, the parameters in the output process of the system are solved by describing of the flexible joint clearance. Then, based on Lankarani-Nikravesh contact force model, the contact impact stiffness and damping coefficient is modified from fixed values to time-varying coefficients. The dynamic model of spatial linkage weft insertion mechanism with modified clearance is established by Lagrange method, and the dynamic characteristics of the system are calculated. The results show that the joint clearance can directly affect the output performance of the mechanism. With the increase of the clearance value, the curve fluctuations of acceleration, driving torque and collision force are obvious, and it will be further intensified with the increase of spindle speed, which greatly affects the stability of mechanism and fabric quality. Finally, the virtual prototype is established by the SolidWorks software and simulated by the ADAMS software. The simulation results are compared with the numerical results, which verifies the accuracy of the modeling method in this paper.

Different types of structural configuration might influence air distribution inside these devices. The unreasonable air distribution might lead each part of filtration or purification media to operating at largely different air flow rates. Based on a computational fluid dynamics ( CFD) model, this study explores the influence of different outlet positions and different upper heights on the flow field inside chamber. The porous medium model is employed to simulate the air flow in porous media. The changing structural configurations include three positioning cases of the outlet opening and eight height cases of the upper chamber. The root mean square is defined as the non-uniformity coefficient to evaluate the uniformity of air flow distribution. The results show that the farther distance between inlet and outlet openings will bring more uniform air distribution, and the increasing height of upper chamber totally trends to exhibit more uniform air distribution.

The three-layer composite fabric was made of different materials that were linen weaving fabric, knitting fabric and warp-knitted spacer fabric. Through testing performances of three different adhesives, the thermoplastic urethanes ( TPU ) hot melt powder was selected to adhere every fabric. Then, the laminating process was designed and applied. The optimized process conditions were following:the temperature was 150 ℃, the pressure was 2. 0 N · cm-2 , the time was 80 s, and the dosage of adhesive was 20 g · m-2 . This new laminated fabric has multi-functions, such as comfortability, permeability and physic mechanical properties. This lamination process will be used to be the basis for the study of functional laminated car seat fabric.

To optimize the bearing support positions in a high-speed flexible rotor system ( HSFRS ) based on the vibration characteristics, an optimization method of bearing support positions in the HSFRS is proposed. In this method, a finite element ( FE) model of a high-speed flexible rotor ( HSFR) was established. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the HSFRS were used to obtain the initial design scheme of the bearing support positions. A frequency characteristic equation of the HSFRS was established to obtain the critical speeds of the HSFRS. And a dynamic model of the HSFRS was established to analyze the vibration characteristics for different bearing support position cases. The problem of optimizing bearing support positions in the HSFRS was solved by the developed method. The results showed that vibration amplitudes of the HSFRS were more stable when the bearing support positions were optimized. This study can provide a new method for optimizing bearing support positions of rotor systems.

Available knowledge tracing models have the problem that the assessments are not directly used in the predictions. To make full use of the assessments during predictions, a novel model, named deep knowledge tracing embedding neural network ( DKTENN) , is proposed in this work. DKTENN is a synthesis of deep knowledge tracing ( DKT) and knowledge graph embedding ( KGE) . DKT utilizes sophisticated long short-term memory ( LSTM) to assess the users and track the mastery of skills according to the users' interaction sequences with skill-level tags, and KGE is applied to predict the probability on the basis of both the embedded problems and DKT's assessments. DKTENN outperforms performance factors analysis and the other knowledge tracing models based on deep learning in the experiments.

Using the formula of power function defined by local fractional derivative and the chain rule to calculate a compound function, the results are inconsistent. This shows that the chain rule of local fractional derivatives similar to classical calculus is suspicious, and fractional complex transformation based on the chain rule is also suspicious and needs further discussion. In order to overcome this inconsistency, an improved definition of local fractional derivative, which can be regarded as a fractal derivative, is proposed based on the results derived from the relationship between the mass function and the Hausdorff measure.
