This paper reports the statistics of extreme values and positions of extreme events in Chinese stock markets. An extreme event is defined as the event exceeding a certain threshold of normalized logarithmic return. Extreme values follow a piecewise function or a power law distribution determined by the threshold due to a crossover. Extreme positions are studied by return intervals of extreme events, and it is found that return intervals yield a stretched exponential function. According to correlation analysis, extreme values and return intervals are weakly correlated and the correlation decreases with increasing threshold. No long-term cross-correlation exists by using the detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA) method. We successfully introduce a modification specific to the correlation and derive the joint cumulative distribution of extreme values and return intervals at 95% confidence level.

The twin-screw pump is designed for pumping highly viscous materials in the food industry. Rheological characteristics of materials are important in the specification of design parameters of screw pumps. Analysis of flow in the twin-screw pumps with definition of non-newtonian materials can be made by numerical modelling. CFD generally oriented software ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow has been used for modelling. In this study those software’s (ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow) were defined for solution of flow in the twin-screw pumps. Results were compared for the same boundary conditions on the inlet and outlet of the 3D model. For definition of the viscosity were used the Nonnewtonian power law. Parameters as consistency coefficient and flow exponent for Nonnewtonian power law were analysed by software ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow. Postprocessing form ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Polyflow were made by contours of field and by graphs.

Abstract The modification of castor oil (CO) with lignin was the focus of this research to create a lubricating medium with improved gel-like properties. Namely, an alkali lignin (L) was epoxidized with epichlorohydrin (EP) and the resulting LEPs were dispersed in CO. The parameters of LEP synthesis were varied and the epoxidation index (EPI) of the LEPs was determined. The LEPs were also submitted to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Rheological responses of the LEP/CO dispersions were investigated through small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) tests. Linear viscoelasticity functions are quantitatively affected by the epoxidation parameters, such as temperature, reaction time and L/EP and L/NaOH ratios. In general, lignins with higher EPI show higher values of the SAOS functions, which are indicative of better gel-strength due to a higher cross-linking density between the LEPs and CO. A power-law equation describes well the evolution of the complex modulus, G*, with frequency of gel-like dispersions, where the power-law parameters were found to increase almost linearly with the EPI. The thermo-rheological characterization provides a softening temperature beyond 50°C.

Multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DXA) has been developed to detect the long-range power-law cross-correlation of two simultaneous series. However, the synchronization of underlying data can not be guaranteed integrated by a variety of factors. We artificially imbed a time delay in considered series and study its influence on the multifractal cross-correlation analysis. Time delay is found to affect the multifractal characterization, where a larger time delay causes a weaker multifractality. We also propose an alternative modification on MF-DXA to make the process more robust. The logarithmic return and volatility of Chinese stock indices show cross-correlation scaling behavior and strong multifractality by MF-DXA as well as singularity spectrum analysis.

The importance of aggregate characteristics has been emphasized in the Superpave® asphalt mixture design procedure. However, criteria for guidelines for the selection of suitable aggregate gradations–-other than gradation limits for different nominal maximum size aggregate blends, including the restricted zone–-have been neglected. With the move toward mechanistic–empirical pavement design, the dynamic modulus is used to account for mixture properties in the pavement design. It is of significant importance to mix designers to possess a framework for determining how to optimize a mixture for ensuring an adequate dynamic modulus. This paper presents the results from a study of the effects of gradation characteristics on the dynamic modulus. Power law–based gradation factors are obtained for 13 aggregate gradations (coarse and fine graded) composed of limestone and granite aggregates. These gradation factors were used to identify and evaluate relationships between gradation factors and the dynamic modulus at higher temperature (40°C). Subsequently, a tentative framework was established for optimizing mixture gradations for dynamic modulus values. Findings illustrate that gradation factors based on power law parameters can be used to optimize mixture gradations for key mixture properties, such as the dynamic modulus. Results also demonstrate the critical nature of aggregate gradation in achieving desired mixture properties.

AbstractIn this paper we study several natural and man-made complex phenomena in the perspective of dynamical systems. For each class of phenomena, the system outputs are time-series records obtained in identical conditions. The time-series are viewed as manifestations of the system behavior and are processed for analyzing the system dynamics. First, we use the Fourier transform to process the data and we approximate the amplitude spectra by means of power law functions. We interpret the power law parameters as a phenomenological signature of the system dynamics. Second, we adopt the techniques of non-hierarchical clustering and multidimensional scaling to visualize hidden relationships between the complex phenomena. Third, we propose a vector field based analogy to interpret the patterns unveiled by the PL parameters.
