    Abstract: A microwave heat treatment method for granulated blast furnace slag is provided, which includes the following steps: subjecting the granulated blast furnace slag to microwave heat treatment at a frequency of 900-930 MHz and then cooling the slag. Microwave rapid heating is utilized to remove the moisture in the granulated blast furnace slag, stress is generated inside the granulated blast furnace slag particles to promote the formation of cracks or the decomposition of the granulated slag particles into small particles. After the microwave reaches a certain power, the microwave is turned off, an air blower is turned on, and thermal stress is generated inside the granulated blast furnace slag particles, so that the particles are further promoted to generate cracks or fragmentation; and then the desired fine powder can be obtained by ball milling the granulated blast furnace slag after microwave heat treatment for a short time.

    Abstract: A two-stage medical image registration method based on progressive images (PIs) to solve the technical problem of low registration accuracy of traditional image registration methods includes: merging a reference image with a floating image to generate multiple intermediate PIs; registering, by a speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm and an affine transformation, the floating image with the intermediate PIs to acquire coarse registration results; registering, by the SURF algorithm and the affine transformation, the reference image with the coarse registration results to acquire fine registration results; and comparing the fine registration results of the intermediate PIs, which are acquired by iteration, and selecting an optimal registration result as a final registration image. The method can achieve multimodal registration for brain imaging with MI, NCC, MSD, and NMI superior to those of the existing registration algorithms. The method effectively improves the registration accuracy through the progressive medical image registration strategy.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a Fiber Reinforced Polymer/Plastic (FRP) composite spiral stirrup confined concrete column and a compression design method. The FRP composite spiral stirrup includes an internal FRP spiral stirrup and an external FRP square stirrup. In the form of the FRP composite spiral stirrup, effective transverse stress transfer is established by effectively binding stirrups, which can give full play to the mechanical properties of the FRP bars, provide “dual confinement” for core concrete, and greatly improve the peak stress of the core concrete. Confining mechanisms of the FRP composite spiral stirrup to the concrete in different areas are analyzed, a confinement model and a bearing capacity calculation method for the FRP composite spiral stirrup confined concrete column are proposed, and a design method for the FRP composite spiral stirrup confined concrete column is proposed after an accurate calculation method for the bearing capacity is obtained.
