Field investigation of efficient thermal conductivity of snow cover on Spitsbergen by N. I. Osokin, A. V. Sosnovsky

“…The data obtained were processed by means of the Fourier technique that allowed deriving relationship between thermal conductivity and snow temperature in regimes of cooling and warming of the snow cover surface. It was found that coefficient of efficient thermal conductivity increases with rising of the snow temperature in the regime of the snow surface cooling, and it does decrease under regime of warming. …”

RESEARCH ON AXIAL MODIFICATION OF CROWD REDUCER GEARS OF LARGE MINING ELECTRIC EXCAVATOR by ZHANG YingHui, HOU Geng, HE WeiDong, ZHOU Feng, RU XueBin

“…Using the thin slice gear model,statistical average load of excavator mining process is taken as the reference load of modification,the minimum contact stress of gears at the excavator mining position withmaximum statisticalcrowd force is regarded as the objective,the slope modification of the two stage pinion（driving wheel） of the crowd reducer is carried out.Further, no edge load at tooth surface in each mining location is regarded as the objective,the crown modification of the two stage pinion of the crowd reducer is carried out.In the process of excavator mining,compare with pinion without modification,the maximum stress（including contact stress of tooth surface and bending stress of tooth root）of thepinionwith modification decreases significantly,and the edge contact condition of tooth surface is obviously improved.After modification,when the gear is subjected to the statistical maximum load of excavator mining process,the stress value of the gearis still less than the allowable stress.Simulation results show that,axial modification of crowd reducer gears of large mining electric excavator has positive significance for improving carrying ability and contact condition of gears.…”

Design of wavelength rotation graph model applied in wavelength switching optical network by ZHAO Ji-jun1, ZHANG Shu-guang1, ZHAO Wen-yu2

“…Based on distributing uniformly virtual network topology links and associated wavelengths to the surface of rotating sphere,a new wavelength rotation graph model of wavelength switching optical network（WSON） was constructed,and a creative method to solve the routing and wavelength assignment（RWA） problems was proposed.The simulation results show that if the wavelength number of each link is set separately to 4 and 8,the average blocking probability of the RWA based on the rotation graph model reduces by 5.03% and 9.71%,and the average resource utilization increases by 3.3% and 1.54% respectively,as compared with the existing model.This method would be useful for solving the problem of optical network RWA which has wavelength conversion capabilities.…”
