Based on the concept of cost-effectiveness ratio, according to the newly formulated Johnson criterion and the view of discovery and destruction, this paper proposes to take the identification probability as the probability of being destroyed and uses mathematical formulas to calculate the cost of a single use decoy. On this basis, a cost-effectiveness ratio model is established, with the product of the increase in the survival probability of the target and the cost of the target as the benefit, and the sum of the product of the probability of being destroyed and the cost of the decoy and the cost of a single use as the consumption cost. The model is calculated and analyzed, and the number of decoys that conform to the actual situation is obtained.展开更多

The use of compression techniques for these bitstream files is emerging as a key strategy to alleviate the burden on storage resources. Due to the severe resource constraints of space-based electronics and the unique application environment, the simplicity, efficiency and robustness of the decompression circuitry is also a key design consideration. Through comparative analysis current bitstream file compression technologies, this research suggests that the Lempel Ziv Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm is more suitable for satellite applications. This paper also delves into the compression process and format of the LZO compression algorithm, as well as the inherent characteristics of configuration bitstream files. We propose an improved algorithm based on LZO for bitstream file compression, which optimises the compression process by refining the format and reducing the offset. Furthermore, a low-cost, robust decompression hardware architecture is proposed based on this method. Experimental results show that the compression speed of the improved LZO algorithm is increased by 3%, the decompression hardware cost is reduced by approximately 60%, and the compression ratio is slightly reduced by 0.47%.展开更多

This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.展开更多

文摘In the context of the“dual carbon”goals,to address issues such as high energy consumption,high costs,and low power quality in the rapid development of electrified railways,this study focused on the China Railways High-Speed 5 Electric Multiple Unit and proposed a mathematical model and capacity optimization method for an onboard energy storage system using lithium batteries and supercapacitors as storage media.Firstly,considering the electrical characteristics,weight,and volume of the storage media,a mathematical model of the energy storage system was established.Secondly,to tackle problems related to energy consumption and power quality,an energy management strategy was proposed that comprehensively considers peak shaving and valley filling and power quality by controlling the charge/discharge thresholds of the storage system.Thecapacity optimization adopted a bilevel programming model,with the series/parallel number of storage modules as variables,considering constraints imposed by the Direct Current to Direct Current converter,train load,and space.An improved Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and linear programming solver were used to solve specific cases.The results show that the proposed onboard energy storage system can effectively achieve energy savings,reduce consumption,and improve power qualitywhile meeting the load and space limitations of the train.
文摘With the continuous application of new technologies in reconnaissance and attack, false camouflage plays a more important role in improving the survivability of targets, and the number of decoys plays a crucial role in the camouflaging effect. Based on the concept of cost-effectiveness ratio, according to the newly formulated Johnson criterion and the view of discovery and destruction, this paper proposes to take the identification probability as the probability of being destroyed and uses mathematical formulas to calculate the cost of a single use decoy. On this basis, a cost-effectiveness ratio model is established, with the product of the increase in the survival probability of the target and the cost of the target as the benefit, and the sum of the product of the probability of being destroyed and the cost of the decoy and the cost of a single use as the consumption cost. The model is calculated and analyzed, and the number of decoys that conform to the actual situation is obtained.

文摘With the increase in the quantity and scale of Static Random-Access Memory Field Programmable Gate Arrays (SRAM-based FPGAs) for aerospace application, the volume of FPGA configuration bit files that must be stored has increased dramatically. The use of compression techniques for these bitstream files is emerging as a key strategy to alleviate the burden on storage resources. Due to the severe resource constraints of space-based electronics and the unique application environment, the simplicity, efficiency and robustness of the decompression circuitry is also a key design consideration. Through comparative analysis current bitstream file compression technologies, this research suggests that the Lempel Ziv Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm is more suitable for satellite applications. This paper also delves into the compression process and format of the LZO compression algorithm, as well as the inherent characteristics of configuration bitstream files. We propose an improved algorithm based on LZO for bitstream file compression, which optimises the compression process by refining the format and reducing the offset. Furthermore, a low-cost, robust decompression hardware architecture is proposed based on this method. Experimental results show that the compression speed of the improved LZO algorithm is increased by 3%, the decompression hardware cost is reduced by approximately 60%, and the compression ratio is slightly reduced by 0.47%.

文摘Formalizing complex processes and phenomena of a real-world problem may require a large number of variables and constraints,resulting in what is termed a large-scale optimization problem.Nowadays,such large-scale optimization problems are solved using computing machines,leading to an enormous computational time being required,which may delay deriving timely solutions.Decomposition methods,which partition a large-scale optimization problem into lower-dimensional subproblems,represent a key approach to addressing time-efficiency issues.There has been significant progress in both applied mathematics and emerging artificial intelligence approaches on this front.This work aims at providing an overview of the decomposition methods from both the mathematics and computer science points of view.We also remark on the state-of-the-art developments and recent applications of the decomposition methods,and discuss the future research and development perspectives.

文摘A substation is a complex coupled system composed of various electrical equipment.Compared with standalone equipment,there is a significant coupling effect in the seismic response of interconnected equipment.To address this issue,this study investigates the seismic interaction of substation equipment with multiple electrical configurations and proposes an improved seismic design method.First,the concept of the coupling coefficient is introduced,which is used to improve the Newmark-βmethod and response spectrum method for the seismic design of standalone equipment.Then,the finite element models of a substation system with multiple configurations are established,and the vibration characteristics and seismic responses of the interconnected equipment are investigated.Finally,the coupling coefficients are obtained by kernel density estimation of the response results under twenty seismic ground motions,and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through two numerical examples.The results show that the frequency coupling coefficients vary from 0.69 to 1.42,while the seismic action coupling coefficient has a wider range,changing from 1.04 to 3.91.The coupling effect amplifies the seismic response of higher-frequency equipment,and the amplification degree varies among different configurations for the same type of equipment.

文摘It has been argued that the human brain,as an information-processing machine,operates near a phase transition point in a non-equilibrium state,where it violates detailed balance leading to entropy production.Thus,the assessment of irreversibility in brain networks can provide valuable insights into their non-equilibrium properties.In this study,we utilized an open-source whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)dataset from both resting and task states to evaluate the irreversibility of large-scale human brain networks.Our analysis revealed that the brain networks exhibited significant irreversibility,violating detailed balance,and generating entropy.Notably,both physical and cognitive tasks increased the extent of this violation compared to the resting state.Regardless of the state(rest or task),interactions between pairs of brain regions were the primary contributors to this irreversibility.Moreover,we observed that as global synchrony increased within brain networks,so did irreversibility.The first derivative of irreversibility with respect to synchronization peaked near the phase transition point,characterized by the moderate mean synchronization and maximized synchronization entropy of blood oxygenation level-dependent(BOLD)signals.These findings deepen our understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of large-scale brain networks,particularly in relation to their phase transition behaviors,and may have potential clinical applications for brain disorders.

文摘Offshore wind power plays a crucial role in energy strategies.The results of traditional small-scale physical models may be unreliable when extrapolated to large field scales.This study addressed this limitation by conducting large-scale(1:13)experiments to investigate the scour hole pattern and equilibrium scour depth around both slender and large monopiles under irregular waves.The experiments adopted KeuleganeCarpenter number(NKC)values from 1.01 to 8.89 and diffraction parameter(D/L,where D is the diameter of the monopile,and L is the wave length)values from 0.016 to 0.056.The results showed that changes in the maximum scour location and scour hole shape around a slender monopile were associated with NKC,with differences observed between irregular and regular waves.Improving the calculation of NKC enhanced the accuracy of existing scour formulae under irregular waves.The maximum scour locations around a large monopile were consistently found on both sides,regardless of NKC and D/L,but the scour hole topography was influenced by both parameters.Notably,the scour range around a large monopile was at least as large as the monopile diameter.

文摘Solution environment can influence the flexible structure of DNA under specific conditions,thereby affecting the stability of nucleic acids and ultimately impacting critical biological processes such as replication and transcription.Intracellular solution environment is variable,and previous studies have demonstrated that it can enhance the stability of DNA structures under certain circumstances.In this work,molecular dynamics simulations were conducted on B-DNA(1ZEW,with a nucleotide sequence of CCTCTAGAGG)derived from human breast cancer cells(MDA-MB231)to explore the effects of ethanol solution on DNA configuration transformation at different temperatures and concentrations.The calculated results indicate that ethanol facilitates the transition of 1ZEW from B-DNA to A-DNA at lower temperature.Furthermore,it is observed that temperature affects DNA structure to some extent,thereby modifying the trend in DNA configuration transformation.At low temperatures,the ethanol can promote the transformation of B-DNA into A-DNA at higher concentrations.While at higher temperatures,the DNA could be in a state of thermal melting.These conclusions presented here can give valuable insights into how ethanol affects B-DNA configuration transformations.

文摘Increasing the sintering rate of powder compact is a critical challenge of powder metallurgical materials,and adjusting component distribution in particles aggregate present significant effect on the microstructure of sintered product,especially for multi-phase compact with local heterogeneity.Here,a case study of W–Ni–Co powder compact was adopted to illustrate the novel strategy to enhance the sintering of multi-phase compact with desired microstructure by adjusting the particle configurations.The plasma synthesis route was developed for the first time to independently adjust the configurations of W–Ni–Co nanopowders with core-shell and homogeneous structures,which facilitates to ascertain the sintering response induced exclusively by particle configurations.Comparison on sintering response further indicates that core-shell powder presents greatly promoted sintering than homogeneous one,and full-dense and uniform compact with grain size of 1.37μm was obtained by solid sintering,which is several to dozens of times smaller than that obtained by conventional liquid sintering.Theoretical and experimental Investigation on elemental immigration visualized the distinct mass diffusion behavior of powder compacts,and clarified the mass transport path promoted densification mechanism determined by powder configurations.Importantly,full-coherent phase interface induced superior strength and plasticity in alloy sintered using core-shell powder,which highlights the importance of microstructural regulation on improving the mechanical property that superior than most of previously reported tungsten heavy alloys.In summary,this work paves a new way for fast sintering of multi-phase compacts,and provides intrinsic understandings on densification mechanism of powder compact.

文摘In 2022, South China(SC) experienced record-breaking rainfall during its first rainy season, causing severe socioeconomic losses. This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.
