For the purpose of facilitating data transmission, AaF relays are utilized to regulate signal communication between sensors and filters. Here, the randomly varying channel parameters are represented by a set of stochastic variables whose occurring probabilities are permitted to exhibit bounded uncertainty. Employing the spherical-radial cubature principle, a local filter under AaF relays is initially constructed. This construction ensures and minimizes an upper bound of the filtering error covariance by designing an appropriate filter gain. Subsequently, the local filters are fused through the application of the covariance intersection fusion rule. Furthermore, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error covariance's upper bound is investigated through establishing certain sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CKFF scheme is ultimately validated via a simulation experiment concentrating on a three-phase induction machine.展开更多

文摘This study presents a sustainable approach to soil improvement by integrating polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)into the Soybean Crude Urease Carbonate Precipitation(SCU-CP)technique.The research aims to enhance SCU-CP,which utilizes soybean-derived urease to precipitate calcium carbonate,bonding soil particles and increasing strength.Challenges such as low solution viscosity and inconsistent carbonate precipitation are addressed by incorporating PVA,a biodegradable polymer that improves viscosity and retention.Comprehensive evaluations reveal significant findings:increasing PVA concentration enhances solution viscosity and results in higher calcium carbonate precipitation.Water retention assessments show that the PCP-1%treatment increases saturation water content(w_(s))to 0.263 compared to 0.217 for untreated soil,while also reduces the air-entry value(α).Unconfined Compressive Strength(UCS)tests indicate substantial improvement for PCP-1%,achieving approximately 140 kPa,with values reaching 179 kPa after 28 days.Calcium carbonate content measurements reveal that SCU-CP exhibits a variable distribution(standard deviation of 1.13),while PCP-1%demonstrates a more uniform distribution(standard deviation of 0.60),indicating improved effectiveness.Durability assessments through wet-dry cycling show that SCU-CP experiences a mass loss of 36.5%,while PCP-1%retains only 5%mass loss and maintains a UCS values.SEM images indicate that SCU-CP forms spherical structures,whereas PCP-1%produces a more diverse and crystalline morphology,suggesting better nucleation and distribution.Overall,the polymer-assisted SCU-CP technique(PCP)demonstrates significant potential for effective soil improvement.
文摘At our school,we have to wear uniforms every day.The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly.We think young people should look smart,because①we would like to wear our own clothes.Our teachers think that if we do that,we will concentrate much②on our clothes than our studies.We don't agree.

文摘With the rapid advancement of 5G communication technology,increasingly stringent demands are placed on the performance and functionality of phase change switches.Given that RF and microwave signals exhibit characteristics of high frequency,high speed,and high precision,it is imperative for phase change switches to possess fast,accurate,and reliable switching capabilities.Moreover,wafer-level compositional homogeneity and resistivity uniformity during semiconductor manufacturing are crucial for ensuring the yield and reliability of RF switches.By controlling magnetron sputter of GeTe through from four key parameters(pressure,power,Ar flow,and post-annealing)and incorporating elemental proportional compensation in the target,we achieved effective modulation over GeTe uniformity.Finally,we successfully demonstrated the process integration of GeTe phase-change RF switches on 6-inch scaled wafers.
文摘The high temporal and spatial coherence of free electron lasers(FELs)reduces the uniformity of the illumination field,leading to scattering effects that blur the edges of patterns,resulting in diminished accuracy and clarity.Traditional imaging models regard the light source as fully incoherent,making it difficult to assess the impact of partially coherent light fields on imaging.If FELs are used in imaging systems,their coherence must be considered.To address this issue,this study explores the relationship between coherence,imaging quality and speckle contrast through a simulation method based on random phases.The method divides the light beam into temporal and spatial coherence cells,analyzes their interactions,and simulates imaging results under different coherence conditions.Additionally,speckle patterns for various illumination modes are calculated to evaluate their effects on speckle contrast and illumination uniformity.The results indicate that under different illumination modes,illumination uniformity decreases as coherence increases,while speckle contrast increases with higher coherence.In terms of imaging quality,higher coherence leads to an increase in both line edge roughness(LER)and line width roughness(LWR),thereby reducing the imaging quality.Additionally,the narrower the line width,the greater the impact of coherence on the imaging quality,resulting in poorer imaging performance.

文摘Background This study investigated the effects of different non-starch polysaccharide(NSP)sources with NSP degrading enzymes(NSPases)and the influence on the mucosa-associated microbiota and intestinal immunity of nursery pigs,on growth performance and carcass traits at market weight.Methods One hundred and sixty newly weaned pigs at 7.0±0.3 kg body weight(BW)were allotted in a 2×2 factorial with NSP sources and NSPases serving as factors.The 4 dietary treatments were:DDGS,corn distillers'dried grains with solubles as source of NSP;DDGS+NSPases(DDGS+),DDGS with xylanase at 0.01%,3,000 U/kg of feed andβ-mannanase at 0.05%,400 U/kg of feed;SHWB,soybean hulls and wheat bran replacing corn DDGS as the source of NSP;SHWB with NSPases(SHWB+),SHWB with xylanase at 0.01%,3,000 U/kg of feed andβ-mannanase at 0.05%,400 U/kg of feed.Pigs were fed for 37 d and housed in groups of 4 pigs per pen.At d 37,the median body weight pig in each pen was euthanized for sampling to analyze intestinal health parameters.Remaining pigs were fed a common diet for subsequent phases to evaluate the carryover effect on growth and carcass traits.Results The SHWB decreased(P<0.05)the relative abundance of Helicobacter,tended to increase(P=0.074)the relative abundance of Lactobacillus,increased(P<0.05)immunoglobulin G(IgG)in the jejunal mucosa,tended to increase(P=0.096)the villus height(VH)in the jejunum,and tended to improve ADG(P=0.099)and feed efficiency(P=0.068)during phase 1 compared to DDGS treatment.Supplementation of NSPases increased(P<0.05)Shannon index of diversity,increased the relative abundance of Streptococcus and Acinetobacter,and tended to increase(P=0.082)dry matter digestibility.The BW of pigs fed SHWB was more uniform(P<0.05)at the end of the 120 d study.Additionally,hot carcass weight of pigs fed SHWB tended to be more uniform(P=0.089)than DDGS treatment.Conclusion Soybean hulls and wheat bran replacing DDGS in nursery diets improved uniformity of pigs at market weight,which might be attributed to beneficial modulation of the mucosa-associated microbiota and enhanced intestinal morphology during the nursery phase.Supplementation of NSPases had beneficial effects on the intestinal mucosa-associated microbiota,digestibility,and intestinal immunity in SHWB treatment,whereas no carryover effects were overserved at market weight.

文摘In the theory of two-dimensional linear elasticity,an elliptical inclusion is known to attain a constant stress field when perfectly buried in an infinite homogeneous matrix if a uniform eigenstrain is applied to it.The focus of this paper falls on the question:when the initially elliptical inclusion verges on a bi-material interface,what would happen to its configuration if it is required to retain the internal constant stress?Specifically,we explore the anti-plane shear version of this question(the version of plane deformations or three-dimensional deformations seems,however,insoluble at this stage),in which an inclusion undergoing a uniform(anti-plane shear)eigenstrain is embedded in a bi-material structure composed of two infinite elastic half-planes whose interface is straight and perfectly bonded,and the shape of the inclusion is to be determined such that the eigenstraininduced stress inside the inclusion appears to be a constant.Unlike most optimization methods-driven solution procedures for finding the shape of the inclusion approximately in which huge computation is required,we derive by a rigorous theoretical analysis an exact integral equation with respect to the boundary curve of the inclusion that is sufficiently and necessarily related to the existence of a constant stress inside the inclusion.We solve this integral equation via the use of some analytic techniques and present in several illustrative examples a variety of shapes of the inclusion achieving constant stresses.We discover some interesting phenomena for the evolution of the shape of the uniformly stressed inclusion relative to the stiffness of the nearby interface.

文摘In this study,the pure erosion behaviour of pure iron and its erosion-corrosion behaviour under different anodic polarization currents were investigated in various cathodic reactions(oxygen reduction,hydrogen ion reduction,and water reduction)using a cylindrical stirring system.The corrosion-enhanced erosion(C-E)rates were determined for each condition.The results revealed that pure iron displayed similar pure erosion behaviour across all three cathodic reactions.When the cathodic reactions involve hydrogen ion reduction or water reduction,the erosion-corrosion of pure iron manifested as uniform damage,with the reduction in hardness being the main cause of the C-E in this case.Conversely,in the case of oxy-gen reduction reaction as the cathodic reaction,the erosion-corrosion presented as pitting damage,with the reduction in hardness resulting from localized concentration of anodic current and the formation of easily worn protruding flaky iron structures at the edges of the pits as the main mechanism of the C-E.Moreover,linear and exponential relationships were found between the C-E rate and the anodic current density for uniform damage and pitting damage,respectively.Finally,the concept of surface equivalent hardness was proposed,along with the establishment of a mathematical model for surface equivalent hardness based on the relationships between the C-E rate and the anodic current density.Utilizing the surface equivalent hardness enables the evaluation of the erosion rate on material surfaces considering the coupled effect.

文摘The double-sided lapping process is extensively employed in the manufacturing of wafers,optical windows,and seal rings due to its high efficiency and ability to achieve precise flatness.However,limited research has explored the thickness uniformity among different workpieces after double-sided lapping,and the underlying mechanism remains unclear.To address the demand for higher precision,this paper first analyzed the relative kinematic model between the workpiece and the lapping plate to clarify the causes of thickness variations among workpieces after double-sided lapping.Subsequently,a finite element method(FEM)model was developed to account for the pressure distribution on the workpiece surfaces at the initial stage of the process.The results indicate that the number of workpieces influences the final thickness variation.Then,various sets of thin copper plates with different thicknesses were lapped,and the findings revealed that five copper plates processed simultaneously exhibited more uniform thickness compared to the three plates.The experimental results align well with the theoretical analysis.Ultimately,a thickness variation of less than 6μm was achieved on five copper plates measuringΦ100×2.9 mm.This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms influencing thickness uniformity in the double-sided lapping process and provides practical guidelines for optimizing the process to achieve stringent precision standards in industrial applications.

文摘In this study,we present a unified sparsity-driven framework that significantly enhances motion deblurring performance by integrating two key components:a custom-designed dataset and a low-rank module(LRM).This framework leverages the inherent sparsity of per-pixel blur kernels to bolster both deblurring accuracy and model interpretability.Firstly,we propose an adaptive-basis decomposition-based deblurring(ADD)approach,which constructs a tailored training dataset to enhance the generalization capacity of the deblurring network.The ADD framework adaptively decomposes motion blur into sparse basis elements,effectively addressing the intricacies associated with non-uniform blurs.Secondly,an LRM is proposed to improve the interpretability of deblurring models as a plug-and-play module,primarily designed to identify and harness the intrinsic sparse features in sharp images.A series of ablation studies have been conducted to substantiate the synergistic advantages of combining the proposed ADD with the LRM for overall improvement in deblurring efficacy.Subsequently,we empirically demonstrate through rigorous experimentation that incorporating the LRM into an existing Uformer network leads to substantial enhancement in reconstruction performance.This integration yields a sparsity-guided low-rank network(SGLRN).Operating under the overarching principle of sparsity,SGLRN consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods across multiple standard deblurring benchmarks.Comprehensive experimental results,assessed through quantitative metrics and qualitative visual evaluations,provide compelling evidence of its effectiveness.The overall deblurring results are available at Google Drive.
