For practical application, a general purpose Rayleigh scattering LUT which can be applied to all ocean color remote sensors is generated. An adding-doubling method to solve the vector radiative transfer equation in the plane-parallel atmosphere is deduced in detail. Compared with the exact Rayleigh scattering radiance derived from the MODIS exact Rayleigh scattering LUT, it is proved that the relative error of Rayleigh scattering calculation with the adding-doubling method is less than 0.25%, which meets the required accuracy of the atmospheric correction of ocean color remote sensing. Therefore, the adding-doubling method can be used to generate the exact Rayleigh scattering LUT for the ocean color remote sensors. Finally, the general purpose exact Rayleigh scattering LUT is generated using the adding-doubling method. On the basis of the general purpose LUT, the calculated Rayleigh scattering radiance is tested by comparing with the LUTs ofMODIS, SeaWiFS and the other ocean color sensors, showing that the relative errors are all less than 0.5%, and this general purpose LUT can be applied to all ocean color remote sensors.展开更多

In this paper, a global look-up table strategy with cubic B-spline interpolation is developed for the DIC method based on the inverse compositional Gauss-Newton （IC-GN） algorithm. The performance of this strategy, including accuracy, precision, and computation efficiency, is evaluated through a theoretical and experimental study, using the one with widely employed bicubic interpolation as a benchmark. The global look-up table strategy with cubic B-spline interpolation improves significantly the accuracy of the IC-GN algorithm-based DIC method compared with the one using the bicubic interpolation, at a trivial price of computation efficiency.展开更多

In Sierra Leone, B. tabaci is found to infest a wide range of vegetable crops by directly feeding on phloem sap thereby inducing physiological disorders, and also serve as a vector to gemini viruses. Invariably the destructive feeding of B. tabaci affects the productivity and aesthetic values of vegetables and other horticultural crops and hence is considered a serious economic pest. A bioassay experiment was carried out by rearing B. tabaci populations on four vegetable crops under controlled laboratory conditions to determine its life table and demographic parameters. Results showed that the intrinsic rate of growth which measures the population size and growth pattern was highest for populations reared on tomato crops with the following values: rm 0.145 female female−1 day−1, the gross reproduction rate (Ro), and finite growth rate λ were highest for population reared on tomato, correspondingly the development period from egg-adult emergence was shortest with a value of 26 d. Conversely, the computed demographical parameters rm, λ and Ro for the population reared on sweet pepper were 0.106 female female−1 day−1 respectively, with a corresponding development period egg-adult emergence as 36d. The computed biological parameters for okra and garden egg varied with intermediary values between tomato and pepper host materials. The survivorship rates were quite significant for the smaller instars (Instars 1-III) with over 80% surviving to pre-pupa and pupa stage for the populations reared for all the test materials. High mortality was noticed for the pre-pupa and pupa stages as their survival rates were significantly low compared to the high survival rates of the smaller instars. Less than 50% of pupae failed to emerge to adults except for populations reared on tomato test materials where 52% emerged to adults. The study indicated tomato as the most suitable host among the four vegetable crops. Although life table and demographic parameters are invaluable information for forecasting pest populations and help in designing pest management efforts, further investigations such as the economic threshold and economic injury levels of B. tabaci population are requisite decision tools for sound pest management decisions of B. tabaci on these vegetable crops. The information obtained from this investigation would be quite relevant for extension service and pest management practitioners where mixed vegetable farming is a common practice.展开更多

Based on the test results, rotary friction dampers were developed to mitigate the excessive lateral displacement that occurred along the direction of the weak stiffness axis of the mold transformer. In addition, shaking table tests were performed by attaching friction dampers to both sides of the mold transformer. Based on the shaking table test results, the natural frequency, mode vector, and damping ratio of the mold transformer were derived using the transfer function and half-power bandwidth. The test results indicated that the use of friction dampers can decrease the displacement and acceleration response of the mold transformer. Finally, dynamic structural models were established considering the component connectivity and mass distribution of the mold transformer. In addition, a numerical strategy was proposed to calibrate the stiffness coefficients of the mold transformer, thereby facilitating the relationship between generalized mass and stiffness. The results indicated that the analytical model based on the calibration strategy of stiffness coefficients can reasonably simulate the dynamic behavior of the mold transformer using friction dampers with regard to transfer function, displacement, and acceleration response.展开更多

The look-up table design is very important for the error-correction implementation. This paper presents a CRC look-up table optimization method for single-bit error correction. The optimization method minimizes the address length of the pre-designed look-up table while satisfying certain restrictions. The circuit implementation is also presented to show the feasibility of the method in the application specific integrated circuit design. An application of the optimization method in the generic framing procedure protocol is implemented using field programmable gatearrays. The result shows that the memory address length has been minimized, while keeping a very simple circuit implementation.展开更多

文摘A fault is a geological structure characterized by significant displacement of rock masses along a fault plane within the Earth's crust.The Yunnan Tabaiyi Tunnel intersects multiple fault zones,making tunnel construction in fault-prone areas particularly vulnerable to the effects of fault activity due to the complexities of the surrounding geological environment.To investigate the dynamic response characteristics of tunnel structures under varying surrounding rock conditions,a three-dimensional large-scale shaking table physical model test was conducted.This study also aimed to explore the damage mechanisms associated with the Tabaiyi Tunnel under seismic loading.The results demonstrate that poor quality surrounding rock enhances the seismic response of the tunnel.This effect is primarily attributed to the distribution characteristics of acceleration,dynamic strain,and dynamic soil pressure.A comparison between unidirectional and multi-directional(including vertical)seismic motions reveals that vertical seismic motion has a more significant impact on specific tunnel locations.Specifically,the maximum tensile stress is observed at the arch shoulder,with values ranging from 60 to 100 k Pa.Moreover,NPR(Non-Prestressed Reinforced)anchor cables exhibit a substantial constant resistance effect under low-amplitude seismic waves.However,when the input earthquake amplitude reaches 0.8g,local sliding occurs at the arch shoulder region of the NPR anchor cable.These findings underscore the importance of focusing on seismic mitigation measures in fault zones and reinforcing critical areas,such as the arch shoulders,in practical engineering applications.

文摘Seismic-induced landslides critically threaten infrastructure and human safety,especially in sandy slopes where conventional stabilization methods often fail under dynamic loading.This study evaluates circular open-ended anti-slide pipe piles embedded in a two-layer sandy slope with differing geotechnical properties.Ten physical models,including five freefield and five pile-reinforced slopes,were tested on a shaking table.Key seismic responses—acceleration,soil displacement,and bending moments—were monitored using accelerometers,strain gauges,and Digital Image Correlation(DIC).Complementary numerical simulations using Abaqus with a Mohr–Coulomb model validated experimental results.Soil displacement in free-field models under 0.25g shaking was about 3.5 times greater than in reinforced slopes.Bending moments increased with seismic intensity,peaking at depths around five times the pile diameter.Limitations including simplified two-layer soil representation,idealized seismic inputs,and boundary effects inherent to laboratory models restrict direct field application but enable controlled analysis.By combining physical experiments with numerical modeling,the study provides a robust and validated framework for seismic slope stabilization.This integrated approach enhances understanding of soil–pile interaction under seismic loads and offers targeted insights for developing safer and more reliable geotechnical design strategies in earthquake-prone areas.

文摘The relative stiffness between underground structures and surrounding soil may significantly influence the dynamic response of such structures.In this study,two underground pipelines were fabricated using rubber joints with varying stiffness,and the corresponding dynamic response was evaluated.Model soils were prepared based on similarity ratios.Next,reduced-scale shaking table tests were conducted to investigate the impact of circular underground structures with varying stiffness joints on the amplification of ground acceleration,dynamic response,and deformation patterns of the underground pipelines.The comparative analysis showed that structures with lower stiffness exert less constraint on the surrounding soil,resulting in a higher amplification factor of ground acceleration.The seismic response of less stiff structures is generally 1.1 to 1.3 times the response of the stiffer structures.Therefore,the seismic response of the variable stiffness pipeline exhibits pronounced characteristics.Rubber joints effectively reduce the seismic response of underground structures,demonstrating favorable isolation effects.Consequently,relative stiffness plays a crucial role in the seismic design of underground structures,and the use of rubber materials in underground structures is advantageous.

文摘In this study, shaking table tests were performed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of a mold transformer. Based on the test results, rotary friction dampers were developed to mitigate the excessive lateral displacement that occurred along the direction of the weak stiffness axis of the mold transformer. In addition, shaking table tests were performed by attaching friction dampers to both sides of the mold transformer. Based on the shaking table test results, the natural frequency, mode vector, and damping ratio of the mold transformer were derived using the transfer function and half-power bandwidth. The test results indicated that the use of friction dampers can decrease the displacement and acceleration response of the mold transformer. Finally, dynamic structural models were established considering the component connectivity and mass distribution of the mold transformer. In addition, a numerical strategy was proposed to calibrate the stiffness coefficients of the mold transformer, thereby facilitating the relationship between generalized mass and stiffness. The results indicated that the analytical model based on the calibration strategy of stiffness coefficients can reasonably simulate the dynamic behavior of the mold transformer using friction dampers with regard to transfer function, displacement, and acceleration response.

文摘Transmission tower-line systems(TTLSs)play a crucial role in the long-distance transmission of electrical energy,often necessitating their crossing through active fault areas.However,previous studies have given limited attention to the seismic performance of fault-crossing transmission TTLSs,particularly in terms of considering the impact of permanent ground motion displacements(PGMDs).This study attempts to address this concern by evaluating the seismic performance of TTLSs exposed to fault earthquakes.Three strike-slip ground motions are carefully selected,and the corresponding PGMDs are accurately replicated through baseline adjustment.A meticulously designed and fabricated reduced-scale experimental model of a TTLS is then employed to investigate the influence of the fault crossing location(FCL)on its seismic performance.The shake table tests conducted unequivocally demonstrate that PGMDs significantly amplify the seismic responses of the TTLS and identify the most unfavorable FCL.Furthermore,a finite element model(FEM)is developed and its accuracy is validated by comparing it with the experimental results.Parametric analyses are conducted to explore the effects of fault crossing angles(FCAs)and PGMD amplitudes on the seismic performances of TTLSs.This study is expected to contribute valuable insights for the seismic design and performance analysis of TTLSs crossing fault areas.

文摘Phase classification has a clear guiding significance for the design of high entropy alloys.For mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive classifications,the composition descriptors,commonly used physical parameter descriptors,elemental-property descriptors,and descriptors extracted from the periodic table representation(PTR)by the convolutional neural network were collected.Appropriate selection among features with rich information is helpful for phase classification.Based on random forest,the accuracy of the four-label classification and balanced accuracy of the five-label classification were improved to be 0.907 and 0.876,respectively.The roles of the four important features were summarized by interpretability analysis,and a new important feature was found.The model extrapolation ability and the influence of Mo were demonstrated by phase prediction in(CoFeNiMn)_(1-x)Mo_(x).The phase information is helpful for the hardness prediction,the classification results were coupled with the PTR of hardness data,and the prediction error(the root mean square error)was reduced to 56.69.

文摘A binary complete decision table with many-valued decisions is a table with n attributes and 2^(n) pairwise distinct rows filled with numbers from the set{0,1}.Each row of this table is labeled with a nonempty finite set of decisions.For a given row of the table,the task is to find a decision from the set of decisions attached to the row.Such tables are generalizations of Boolean functions.They can also be viewed as representations of various problems related to systems of decision rules.In this paper,we consider three types of classes of binary complete decision tables with many-valued decisions,closed with respect to removal of columns and changing of decisions.For tables from these classes,we study the relationships between the minimum weighted depth of deterministic,nondeterministic,and(for one type of classes)strongly nondeterministic decision trees and the total weight of attributes attached to columns.Note that nondeterministic decision trees and strongly nondeterministic decision trees for decision tables can be interpreted as a way of representing the two types of systems of decision rules for these tables.

文摘Shaking table tests are widely used to evaluate seismic effects on railway structures,but accurately measuring rail displacement remains a significant challenge owing to the nonlinear characteristics of large displacements,ambient noise interference,and limitations in displacement meter installation.In this paper,a novel method that integrates the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi(KLT)feature tracker with an extended Kalman filter(EKF)is presented for measuring rail displacement during shaking table tests.The method employs KLT feature tracker and a random sample consensus algorithm to extract and track key feature points,while EKF optimally estimates dynamic states by accounting for system noise and observation errors.Shaking table test results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an acceleration root mean square error of 0.300 m/s^(2)and a correlation with accelerometer data exceeding 99.7%,significantly outper-forming the original KLT approach.This innovative method provides a more efficient and reliable solution for measuring rail displacement under large nonlinear vibrations.

文摘A rising water table increases soil water content,reduces soil strength,and amplifies vibrations under identical train loads,thereby posing greater risks to train operations.To investigate this phenomenon,we used a 2.5D finite element(FE)model of a coupled vehicle–embankment–ground system based on Biot’s theory.The ground properties were derived from a typical soil profile of the Yangtze River basin,using geological data from Shanghai,China.The findings indicate that a rise in the water table leads to increased dynamic displacements of both the track and the ground.This amplification effect extends beyond the depth of the water table,impacting the entire embankment–foundation cross-section,and intensifies with higher train speeds.However,the water table rise has a limited impact on the critical speed of trains and dominant frequency contents.The dynamic response of the embankment is more significantly affected by water table rises within the subgrade than by those within the ground.When the water table rises into the subgrade,significant excess pore pressure is generated inside the embankment,causing a substantial drop in effective stress.As a result,the stress path of the soil elements in the subgrade approaches the Mohr-Coulomb failure line,increasing the likelihood of soil failure.
文摘Many communication systems use the cyclic redundancy code （CRC） technique for protecting key data fields from transmission errors by enabling both single-bit error correction and multi-bit error detection. The look-up table design is very important for the error-correction implementation. This paper presents a CRC look-up table optimization method for single-bit error correction. The optimization method minimizes the address length of the pre-designed look-up table while satisfying certain restrictions. The circuit implementation is also presented to show the feasibility of the method in the application specific integrated circuit design. An application of the optimization method in the generic framing procedure protocol is implemented using field programmable gatearrays. The result shows that the memory address length has been minimized, while keeping a very simple circuit implementation.
