Perception-driven rendering techniques generate images with minimal noise and distortion that are generally acceptable to the human visual system, thereby reducing rendering costs. In this paper, we introduce a perception-entropy-driven temporal reusing method to accelerate real-time ray tracing. We first build a just noticeable difference(JND) model to represent the uncertainty of ray samples and image space masking effects. Then, we expand the shading gradient through gradient max-pooling and gradient filtering to enlarge the visual receipt field. Finally, we dynamically optimize reusable time segments to improve the accuracy of temporal reusing. Compared with Monte Carlo ray tracing, our algorithm enhances frames per second(fps) by 1.93× to 2.96× at 8 to 16 samples per pixel, significantly accelerating the Monte Carlo ray tracing process while maintaining visual quality.展开更多

Due to the development of urban economy and the transition of the traditional industrial structure, many historic cities and towns both at home and abroad have witnessed a large scale "demolition" and abandonment of industrial buildings in urban renewal during last 30 years. Consequently, it has been leading to the discontinuity of urban cultural and historic context. The paper discusses and expounds the clas...展开更多

Service components are published externally as normal web services and can thus be employed by webbased applications. In order to improve reusability and testability of service components, the concept of composition pattern is also proposed, which presents the relationships among service components. The relationships and relationship compositions have a rigorous semantic, so that composite components can be validated at the configuration stage. The composition patterns support to integrate service components of various levels of granularity. Experience indicates that the application assembly can effectively be conducted by understanding, selecting, and reusing components easily.展开更多

文摘The reuse of green sand in casting production is hindered by the accumulation of oolitic deposits,primarily composed of clay binder with surface degradation,which may adversely affect the the moulding sand performance.Currently,there is a lack of standardized methods for quantifying the oolitic content.Accurate measurement of oolitic content is of great significance to the reuse of green sand.Attempts to determine oolitic content using potassium hydroxide(KOH)and phosphoric acid(H_(3)PO_(4))methods encounter challenges due to their excessive reactions with SiO_(2) in the sand.In this study,an improved method for measuring the oolitic content of green sand with repeated approximations was proposed.This method judges the chemical activity of the sample surface through the change of its mass to accurately obtain the mass of the reaction oolitic deposits.The test result of the used sand samples from the foundry shows that the oolitic deposits are completely removed after reacting with KOH solution three times at 300℃ for 20 min.SEM and EDS also show that after three times of reactions,the surface of green sand becomes smooth and the content of Al-containing oolitic deposits is very low.This indicates that the method can accurately control the extent of the reaction.Implementation of this method at Huangshi Dongbei Casting Co.,Ltd.has yielded consistent and reliable test results,effectively mirroring variations in green sand oolitic content on the production line.This new method is expected to be widely adopted to improve the efficiency and quality of reused green sand in casting operations.

文摘With digital coding technology,reconfigurable intelligent surfaces(RISs)become powerful real-time sys-tems for manipulating electromagnetic(EM)waves.However,most automatic RIS designs involve exten-sive numerical simulations of the unit,including the passive pattern and active devices,requiring high data acquisition and training costs.In addition,for passive patterns,the widely employed random pixe-lated method presents design efficiency and effectiveness challenges due to the massive pixel combina-tions and blocked excitation current flow in discrete patterns.To overcome these two critical problems,we propose a versatile RIS design paradigm with efficient topology representation and a separate design architecture.First,a non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS)is introduced to represent continuous pat-terns and solve excitation current flow issues.This representation makes it possible to finely tune con-tinuous patterns with several control points,greatly reducing the pattern solution space by 20-fold and facilitating RIS optimization.Then,employing multiport network theory to separate the passive pat-tern and active device from the unit,the separate design architecture significantly reduces the dataset acquisition cost by 62.5%.Through multistep multiport calculation,the multistate EM responses of the RIS under different structural combinations can be quickly obtained with only one prediction of pattern response,thereby achieving dataset and model reuse for different RIS designs.With a hybrid continuous-discrete optimization algorithm,three examples—including two typical high-performance RISs and an ultra-wideband multilayer RIS—are provided to validate the superiority of our paradigm.Our work offers an efficient solution for RIS automatic design,and the resulting structure is expected to boost RIS appli-cations in the fields of wireless communication and sensing.

文摘Although ray tracing produces high-fidelity, realistic images, it is considered computationally burdensome when implemented on a high rendering rate system. Perception-driven rendering techniques generate images with minimal noise and distortion that are generally acceptable to the human visual system, thereby reducing rendering costs. In this paper, we introduce a perception-entropy-driven temporal reusing method to accelerate real-time ray tracing. We first build a just noticeable difference(JND) model to represent the uncertainty of ray samples and image space masking effects. Then, we expand the shading gradient through gradient max-pooling and gradient filtering to enlarge the visual receipt field. Finally, we dynamically optimize reusable time segments to improve the accuracy of temporal reusing. Compared with Monte Carlo ray tracing, our algorithm enhances frames per second(fps) by 1.93× to 2.96× at 8 to 16 samples per pixel, significantly accelerating the Monte Carlo ray tracing process while maintaining visual quality.

文摘The paper presents an innovative approach to studying the reuse of a decommissioned natural gas production platformfor the seasonal storage and extraction of a hydrogen-methane(H2-CH4)mixture froma depleted reservoir.The reuse plan involves removing outdated equipment from the platform’s decks while retaining essential components such as wellheads and separators.Exploiting a depleted reservoir for the injection of an H_(2)-CH_(4) mixture requires a thorough understanding of its specific characteristics.This paper focuses on the engineering approach adopted in the basic design phase for such a conversion,providing recommendations and HSE guidelines.Given the hazardous nature of substances like hydrogen in the gas mixture,the paper also examines potential risk scenarios,particularly those involving containment loss.A qualitative and quantitative assessment of these risks is conducted to evaluate their impact on the structure and equipment.The results of this assessment serve as a foundation for later studies on layout optimization and domino effect prevention.Additionally,some critical scenarios are simulated using an innovative approach known as the Source Box Accident Model(SBAM),which was proposed in previous works.SBAM leverages Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)but decouples the accidental phenomenon into a release phase and a dispersion phase.This method overcomes the challenges conventional CFD tools face in assessing congested plant configurations,providing more precise estimations of gas cloud behavior.The simulation results indicate that the released gas remains within the platform deck domain,and the flammable cloud is significantly smaller than what traditional,simplified tools predict.
文摘The paper analyzes the definite place of industrial building in the history of urban development. Due to the development of urban economy and the transition of the traditional industrial structure, many historic cities and towns both at home and abroad have witnessed a large scale "demolition" and abandonment of industrial buildings in urban renewal during last 30 years. Consequently, it has been leading to the discontinuity of urban cultural and historic context. The paper discusses and expounds the clas...

文摘Due to the fact that the existing web service description methods cannot address the issue of service reuse of various levels of granularity, the concept of service component is introduced, which packages together web services and choreography, and their operations and properties are presented in a consistent and uniform manner. Service components are published externally as normal web services and can thus be employed by webbased applications. In order to improve reusability and testability of service components, the concept of composition pattern is also proposed, which presents the relationships among service components. The relationships and relationship compositions have a rigorous semantic, so that composite components can be validated at the configuration stage. The composition patterns support to integrate service components of various levels of granularity. Experience indicates that the application assembly can effectively be conducted by understanding, selecting, and reusing components easily.

文摘The leaching concentrations of different metals in stainless steel pickling residue(SSPR)were determined and the toxic metals were treated using Na2 S·xH2 O,FeSO4·6 H2 O,and phosphoric acid.A modified European Community Bureau of Reference(BCR)sequential extraction was used to identify the speciation of the concerned metals.Results showed that SSPR contains a large amount of Ca(58.41%),Fe(29.44%),Cr(3.83%),Ni(2.94%),Mn(2.82%)and some of Al,Cu,Mg,Zn.Among them,Cr and Ni were the most toxic metals in SSPR,thus the raw SSPR falls into hazardous waste category due to the leaching amount of Cr.In addition,the leached Cr was identified as Cr6+(MgCr04)in the waste.BCR test revealed that risk assessment code(RAC)of Cr and Ni were 33.29%and 61.7%,indicating they posed"high"and"very high"risk to the environment,respectively.After fixing by Na2 S·xH2 O and FeSO4·6 H2 O,the leaching concentrations of Cr and Ni were less than 1.5 and 0.5 mg/L,respectively.After fixing by Na2 S·xH2 O and FeSO4·6 H2 O the tre ated SSPR can be safely reused as roadbed materials,concrete and cement aggregates.This study provides a useful implication in treatment and beneficial reuse of heavy metal-containing hazardous wastes.
文摘Assembling paradigms programming are based on the reuses in any programming language (PL) with the passport data of their settings in WSDL. The method of assembling is formal and secures co-operation of the different reuses (module, object, component, service and so on) being developed. A formal means of these paradigms creation with help of interfaces is presented. Interface IDL (Stub, Skeleton) is containing data and operations for transmission data to other standard elements linked and describes in the standard language IDL. Assembling will be realized by integration of reuses elements in these paradigms on the instrumental-technological complex (ITC).

文摘This paper presents a tool for managing, reusing and analysing C software code based on database techniques. The abstract information of entire software code is stored in a program database that is the conceptual scheme of the entire software, whereas the reuse component is a subscheme. Relational algebra can be conveniently used to manage, analyse and reuse C code. In the tool, we can manage, analyse and reuse any components in the program database and rapidly extract source code of any components or construct the program code of a new system. The rule system is introduced in reusing source code.
