Music-driven 3D dance generation has become an intensive research topic in recent years with great potential for real-world applications. Most existing methods lack the consideration of genre, which results in genre inconsistency in the generated dance movements. In addition, the correlation between the dance genre and the music has not been investigated. To address these issues, we propose a genre-consistent dance generation framework, GTN-Bailando. First, we propose the Genre Token Network (GTN), which infers the genre from music to enhance the genre consistency of long-term dance generation. Second, to improve the generalization capability of the model, the strategy of pre-training and fine-tuning is adopted.Experimental results on the AIST++ dataset show that the proposed dance generation framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of motion quality and genre consistency.
A centrifugal pump is an important solid–liquid mixture conveying machinery, which is widely used in mineral mining, water conservancy engineering, and other fields. Solid particles will wear the impeller of the centrifugal pump in the process of transportation, resulting in lower service life of the impeller, especially in the transportation of a high concentration of solid particles. Many scholars use numerical simulation to study the wear of centrifugal pumps, but few efforts have been made in the wear experiment. In this study, the effect of three factors, namely, diameter of solid particles, mass concentration of particles, and material of impellers on the wear of a solid–liquid two-phase centrifugal pump was studied by the wear experiment. The solid particles are SiO 2 with irregular shapes, and the diameter ranges are 0.125–0.212 mm, 0.212–0.425 mm, and 0.425–0.710 mm. The mass concentration of solid particles is 15%, 20%, and 30%. The material of impellers is carbon structural steel (Q235), gray cast iron (HT200), and low-alloy high-strength steel (16 Mn). The amount of wear is determined by measuring the thickness of the impeller material before and after wear experiments. The wear morphology of the impeller was observed by using a digital microscope. The results showed that the wear mainly concentrated on the middle and trailing edges of the blade. Impellers of different materials suffer different wear forms, among which the impeller made of HT200 has the best erosion resistance. The increase of solid mass concentration will aggravate the wear of the impeller. The change of particle diameters also has a great influence on impeller wear.
The solid–liquid two-phase centrifugal pump is one of the core power equipment of solid phase material hydraulic transportation, widely used in hydraulic engineering, petrochemical industry, marine metal mineral exploitation, urban sewage treatment, and other sectors of the national economy. There is a significant increase in the need to transport dense fine particle slurry in industrial production. Under this condition, the influence of particle parameters on the performance of the centrifugal pump is still not clear. In order to study the flow and wear characteristics of dense fine particle solid–liquid two-phase transported by an open impeller centrifugal pump, the Re-Normalization Group k − ε and dense discrete phase models in Fluent were used to describe the characteristics of the solid–liquid two-phase flow. The numerical model is validated with the experimental data of the pump’s performance. The study indicates that the particle size and concentration have great influence on the wear of the impeller. The wear of the blade pressure surface is the most serious. With the increase of particle concentration and size, the wear area expands to the leading edge and the upper surface of the blade. These results can provide supporting theories for the design of a dense fine particle solid–liquid two-phase medium conveying pump.
Reading comprehension is an evolutionary process in which the reader is consciously integrating inner and outer cognition( that is,cognition system),employing both cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies. The key attributes to cognition system are systematic and dynamic. Thus five steps in English reading are put forward,in which cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies are to be collaborated to achieve efficient and effective reading.
According to the situation of sludge parameters in pulp paper waste water treatment, the sludge treating process and common treating way, half dry mechanical sludge incineration technology was introduced including the process and main equipment for primary treatment of sludge, the dry incinerating facilities and their technical features for sludge secondary treatment.
