The results showed that the qualities and active substance content of mulberry leaves changed from increasing to decreasing with its development; crude protein and solu-ble sugar achieved the peak on August 20; total flavonoid and 1-deoxynojirimycin was the highest on May 15. Fertilizations with N, P and K fertilizers at different amounts had significant effects on quality of mulberry leaf and content of active substances. Specifically, as fertilizer amount increased, the content of active sub- stances grew dramatically and achieved the highest at level 2 （X^2X=X~_）. Based on fertilizer effect functions of objective yield, the recommended amounts of N, P and K fertilizers based on crude protein, soluble sugar, flavonoid content and DNJ in test sites were 718.46, 220.11 and 305.23 kg/hm2, when the highest of crude protein in mulberry leaf was 1 813.83 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were recommended at 666.54, 204.41 and 243.18 kg/hm2, soluble sugar in mulberry leaf achieved the peak at 1 042.65 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were at 675.96, 326.49 and 462.90 kg/hm2, flavonoid content achieved the maximum at 147.90 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were at 720.9, 225.11 and 323.63 kg/hm2, DNJ content was the highest at 13.55 kg/hm2.展开更多

The results showed that the dry matter accumulation in dried pepper plant, pepper yield, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium uptake in peppers were significantly increased in all the fertilizer treat- ments, compared with those in control （no fertilizer）. Compared with conventional fertilization, balanced fertilization, slow-release compound fertilizer and slow-release urea fertilizer significantly increased dried pepper economic output by 20.94%, 17.5% and 14.54%, nitrogen uptake in dried peppers by 21.53%,18.46% and 13.19%, phosphorus uptake in dried peppers by 14.08%, 15.76% and 10.44%, potassium uptake in dried peppers by 22.66%, 15.73% and 16.28%; they also in- creased nitrogen and potassium use efficiency, but reduced potassium use efficiency due to the increased potassium addition. In treatments with balanced fertilization, slow-release compound fertilizer and slow-release urea fertilizer, the nitrogen utiliza- tion was 5.84%, 7.14% and 8.33% higher and the phosphorus utilization was 3.32%, 3.27% and 2.47% higher than those in treatment with conventional fertiliza- tion. In addition, the nitrogen application could be reduced by 20%-50% by bal- anced fertilization and the two slow-release fertilizers, thereby reducing environmen- tal pollution. Slow-release fertilizers could also reduce the frequency of fertilization and labor costs.展开更多

We introduce the property balancing symmetry and orthogonal properties of multiwavelet and link these properties to the matrix of the lowpass synthesis rnultifilter. Using these new results, we present the parametrization of orthogohal multiwavelets of flip-symmetry with length two and three. This is a direct construction method, making the construction of the balanced multiwavelet as easy as the scalar wavelet.展开更多

文摘This study developed a digital twin(DT)and structural health monitoring(SHM)system for a balanced cantilever bridge,utilizing advanced measurement techniques to enhance accuracy.Vibration and dynamic strain measurements were obtained using accelerometers and piezo-resistive strain gauges,capturing low-magnitude dynamic strains during operational vibrations.3D-LiDAR scanning and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity(UPV)tests captured the bridge's as-is geometry and modulus of elasticity.The resulting detailed 3D point cloud model revealed the structure's true state and highlighted discrepancies between the as-designed and as-built conditions.Dynamic properties,including modal frequencies and shapes,were extracted from the strain and acceleration measurements,providing critical insights into the bridge's structural behavior.The neutral axis depth,indicating stress distribution and potential damage,was accurately determined.Good agreement between vibration measurement data and the as-is model results validated the reliability of the digital twin model.Dynamic strain patterns and neutral axis parameters showed strong correlation with model predictions,serving as sensitive indicators of local damage.The baseline digital twin model and measurement results establish a foundation for future bridge inspections and investigations.This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining digital twin technology with field measurements for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance,ensuring the sustainability and safety of the bridge infrastructure,thereby enhancing its overall resilience to operational and environmental stressors.

文摘This paper study the effect of nitrogen （N, X1）, phosphorus （P, X2） and potassium （K, X3） in different amounts on crude protein, soluble sugar, total flavonoid and 1-deoxynojirimycin contents in mulberry leaves, with mulberry trees in spring and autumn as the material and as per ＂3414＂ experimental design. The results showed that the qualities and active substance content of mulberry leaves changed from increasing to decreasing with its development; crude protein and solu-ble sugar achieved the peak on August 20; total flavonoid and 1-deoxynojirimycin was the highest on May 15. Fertilizations with N, P and K fertilizers at different amounts had significant effects on quality of mulberry leaf and content of active substances. Specifically, as fertilizer amount increased, the content of active sub- stances grew dramatically and achieved the highest at level 2 （X^2X=X~_）. Based on fertilizer effect functions of objective yield, the recommended amounts of N, P and K fertilizers based on crude protein, soluble sugar, flavonoid content and DNJ in test sites were 718.46, 220.11 and 305.23 kg/hm2, when the highest of crude protein in mulberry leaf was 1 813.83 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were recommended at 666.54, 204.41 and 243.18 kg/hm2, soluble sugar in mulberry leaf achieved the peak at 1 042.65 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were at 675.96, 326.49 and 462.90 kg/hm2, flavonoid content achieved the maximum at 147.90 kg/hm2. When N, P and K fertilizers were at 720.9, 225.11 and 323.63 kg/hm2, DNJ content was the highest at 13.55 kg/hm2.

文摘Field plot experiment was conducted to study the effects of two slow-re- lease fertilizers and balanced fertilization on dry matter accumulation, yield, fertilizer use efficiency, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake of peppers at Jiangna Town, Yanshan County, Yunnan Province in 2011. The results showed that the dry matter accumulation in dried pepper plant, pepper yield, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium uptake in peppers were significantly increased in all the fertilizer treat- ments, compared with those in control （no fertilizer）. Compared with conventional fertilization, balanced fertilization, slow-release compound fertilizer and slow-release urea fertilizer significantly increased dried pepper economic output by 20.94%, 17.5% and 14.54%, nitrogen uptake in dried peppers by 21.53%,18.46% and 13.19%, phosphorus uptake in dried peppers by 14.08%, 15.76% and 10.44%, potassium uptake in dried peppers by 22.66%, 15.73% and 16.28%; they also in- creased nitrogen and potassium use efficiency, but reduced potassium use efficiency due to the increased potassium addition. In treatments with balanced fertilization, slow-release compound fertilizer and slow-release urea fertilizer, the nitrogen utiliza- tion was 5.84%, 7.14% and 8.33% higher and the phosphorus utilization was 3.32%, 3.27% and 2.47% higher than those in treatment with conventional fertiliza- tion. In addition, the nitrogen application could be reduced by 20%-50% by bal- anced fertilization and the two slow-release fertilizers, thereby reducing environmen- tal pollution. Slow-release fertilizers could also reduce the frequency of fertilization and labor costs.

文摘The increase in user mobility and density in modern cellular networks increases the risk of overloading certain base stations in popular locations such as shopping malls or stadiums,which can result in connection loss for some users.To combat this,the traffic load of base stations should be kept as balanced as possible.In this paper,we propose an efficient load balancing-aware handover algorithm for highly dynamic beyond 5G heterogeneous networks by assigning mobile users to base stations with lighter loads when a handover is performed.The proposed algorithm is evaluated in a scenario with users having different levels of mobility,such as pedestrians and vehicles,and is shown to outperform the conventional handover mechanism,as well as another algorithm from the literature.As a secondary benefit,the overall energy consumption in the network is shown to be reduced with the proposed algorithm.

文摘In order to increase mulberry leaf yield and production efficiency in hilly areas of Sichuan Province through scientific fertilization,＂3414＂,a quadratic regression design for modern fertilization,was employed to simulate the regression relationship between mulberry leaf yield and major fertilizer elements including nitrogen（N）,phosphor（P） and potassium（K） among which mulberry leaf yield was the objective function and N,P and K were the regulatory factors to fertilization level.As a result,7 types of ternary,binary and monadic quadratic fertilizer effect functions of N,P and K fertilizer elements were established.The weight of fertilizer factors in the optimal mulberry leaf yield obtained by various types of functions was in decreasing order of KPKPNPKNKNNP,and the weight of fertilizer factors in the ratio of leaf yield to input was in decreasing order of K〉PK〉NPK〉P〉NK〉NP〉N.To be specific,the ternary quadratic fertilizer effect function（Y=20 313＋0.25X1＋43.48 X2＋34.47X3-0.01X1^2-0.14X2^2-0.06X3^2＋0.05X1X2＋0.02X1X3-0.07X2X3,in which X1,X2 and X3 indicate the fertilizer factors N,P and K,respectively） was a model containing all factors,thereby being a recommended fertilization program for mulberry field.Single factor effect analysis indicated that K fertilizer had the highest influence on mulberry leaf yield and ratio of leaf yield to input.Therefore,among all the simulation functions,the monadic quadratic fertilizer effect function of K fertilizer factor（Y=25 002.27＋44.728X3-0.084X32） leads to the optimal leaf yield and maximum ratio of leaf yield to input.By using the optimal fertilization program with 600 kg/hm2 N,210 kg/hm2 P2O5 and 254.33 kg/hm2 K2O,the optimal economic leaf yield obtained is 30 945.00 kg/hm2,the cost of fertilizer input is 4 403.65 yuan/hm2,and the ratio of leaf yield to input is as high as 17.57.After verification by production practices,the recommended fertilization indicators in the optimal mulberry fertilization program can provide reference for the construction of high-yield mulberry field in hilly areas of Sichuan Province.
文摘This paper deals with the parametrization of balanced multiwavelets and different properties associated with them. We introduce the property balancing symmetry and orthogonal properties of multiwavelet and link these properties to the matrix of the lowpass synthesis rnultifilter. Using these new results, we present the parametrization of orthogohal multiwavelets of flip-symmetry with length two and three. This is a direct construction method, making the construction of the balanced multiwavelet as easy as the scalar wavelet.

文摘A signed graph S=(S^(u),σ)has an underlying graph Suand a functionσ:E(S^(u))-→{+,-}.Let E^(-)(S)denote the set of negative edges of S.Then S is eulerian signed graph(or subeulerian signed graph,or balanced eulerian signed graph,respectively)if Suis eulerian(or subeulerian,or eulerian and|E-(S)|is even,respectively).We say that S is balanced subeulerian signed graph if there exists a balanced eulerian signed graph S′such that S′is spanned by S.The signed line graph L(S)of a signed graph S is a signed graph with the vertices of L(S)being the edges of S,where an edge eiej is in L(S)if and only if the edges e_(i)and e_(j)of S have a vertex in common in S such that an edge eiej in L(S)is negative if and only if both edges ei and ej are negative in S.In this paper,two families of signed graphs S and S′are identified,which are applied to characterize balanced subeulerian signed graphs and balanced subeulerian signed line graphs.In particular,it is proved that a signed graph S is balanced subeulerian if and only if S∈S,and that a signed line graph of signed graph S is balanced subeulerian if and only if S∈S′.
文摘A strong partially balanced design SPBD（v, b, k; λ,0） whose b is the maximum number of blocks in all SPBD（v, b, k; λ, 0）, as an optimal strong partially balanced design, briefly OSPBD（v, k, λ） is studied.
