This paper presents Threshold Fitting Technique(TFT) so as to subtract the baselines from the original signals and emendate the signals. In TFT, wavelet and curve fitting technique are applied synthetically, thresholds are decided by the computer automatically. Many experiments of signal processing indicate that TFT is simple for being used, there are few man-induced factors, and the results are satisfactory. TFT can be applied for noisy signals without any pre-processing.展开更多

Moreover, the atmospheric delay after differential processing cannot be ignored. For correcting the residual atmospheric errors, we proposed a GPS/BDS/Galileo/GLONASS four-system fusion RTK positioning algorithm, which is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm. After realizing the spatio-temporal unification of multiple global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), we introduced a parameter estimation of atmospheric errors based on the EKF model, using the least-squares integer ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) to calculate the integer ambiguity. After conducting experiments for different baselines, the proposed RTK positioning algorithm can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy in the case of medium-long baselines. In addition, the time required to solve the fixed solution is shorter than that of the traditional RTK positioning algorithm.展开更多

Based on investigation, energy consumption forecast and economic analysis of future technology options, the technology benchmark and site specific baselines for both retrofit projects and new heating projects have been discussed. The results indicate that fuel switching from coal to natural gas can meet the additionality criteria in many cases and will be the main type of CDM project. In addition, it also proves that the technology benchmark and the case by case baseline setting approach are applicable for future CDM cooperation projects on heating in Beijing.展开更多

The paper provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between K5and the WLP for regular two-level designs with resolution t=3, and proposes corresponding theoretical results. These results not only theoretically reveal the connection between the orthogonal parameterization model and the baseline parameterization model but also provide theoretical support for finding the K-aberration optimal regular two-level baseline designs. It demonstrates how to apply these theories to evaluate and select the optimal experimental designs. In practical applications, experimental designers can utilize the theoretical results of this paper to quickly assess and select regular two-level baseline designs with minimal K-aberration by analyzing the WLP of the experimental design. This allows for the identification of key factors that significantly affect the experimental outcomes without frequently changing the factor levels, thereby maximizing the benefits of the experiment.展开更多

Empirical information describing the historical normative limits of disturbance regimes provides baseline data that facilitates the detection of contemporary trends in both disturbances and community-level responses. Quantifying the attributes of historical disturbances is challenging due to their transient episodic nature, with decades-to centurieslong intervals between recurrences. Unmanaged primary forests that support centuries-old trees therefore serve as unique reference systems for quantifying past disturbance regimes. We surveyed relict stands of primary beech-dominated forests over wide environmental gradients in the Carpathian Mountains of Europe. We collected core samples from 3,026 trees in 208 field survey plots distributed across 13 forest stands in two countries. We used dendrochronological methods to analyze time-series of annually-resolved ring-width variation and to identify anomalous growth patterns diagnostic of past forest canopy removal. A 180-year record(1810–1990) of spatially and temporally explicit disturbance events(n =333) was compiled and used to derive s tatistical attributes of the disturbance regime. We quantified disturbance severity(canopy area lost), patch size, and return intervals. Our analyses describe a complex regime where a background of relatively frequent, smallscale, low-to intermediate-severity disturbance was punctuated by episodic large-scale high-severity events. Even the most severe events were non-catastrophic at a stand level, leaving significant residual tree cover that supported a continuity of ecological function. We did not detect evidence for an expected climate-induced intensification of disturbance with time, but methodological limitations precluded an assessment of disturbance activity in the decades since 1990.展开更多

The structural natural frequency, vibration mode, stress and displacement response under various load cases are given. A new method of FE model updating is presented based on the physical meaning of sensitivity and the penalty function concept. In this method, the structural model is updated by modifying the parameters of design, and validated by structural natural vibration characteristics, stress response as well as displacement response. The design parameters used for updating are bounded according to measured static response and engineering judgment. The FE model of RSB is updated and validated by the measurements coming from the structural health monitoring system （SHMS）, and the FE baseline model reflecting the current state of RSB is achieved. Both the dynamic and static results show that the method is effective in updating the FE model of long span suspension bridges. The results obtained provide an important research basis for damage alarming and health monitoring of the RSB.展开更多

Research on cooperative navigation and localization for multi-UUVs is important to solve navigation problems that restrict long and deep excursions. The authors investigated improvements in navigation accuracy. In the moving long base line （MLBL） structure, the master UUV is equipped with a high precision navigation system as a node of the moving long baseline, and the slave UUV is equipped with a low precision navigation system. They are both equipped with acoustic devices to measure relative location. Using traditional triangulation methods to calculate the position of the slave UUV may cause a faulty solution. An EKF was designed to solve this, combining the proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors. Research results proved that the navigational accuracy is improved significantly with the MLBL method based on EKF.展开更多

[Method] The sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea to boscalid was tested by the mycelial growth rate method. The distribution of sensitivity variation of B. cinerea to boscalid in different regions was cleared, and the sen- sitivity baseline of B. cinerea from Liaoning Province to boscalid was established. [Result] The ECso values of B. cinerea strains from Liaoning Province ranged from 0.080 0 to 7.787 2μg/ml, and the highest ECho value was 97.34 times higher than the minimum. The average EC50 value （1.973μg/ml） of the 158 strains was treated as the baseline sensitivity of B. cinerea from Liaoning Province to boscalid. [Conclu- sion] It is essential to conduct a risk assessment of drug resistance in B. cinerea to boscalid.展开更多

文摘Sea topography information holds significant importance in oceanic research and the climate change detection.Radar imaging altimetry has emerged as the leading approach for global ocean observation,employing synthetic aperture radar(SAR)interferometry to enhance the spatial resolution of Sea topography.Nevertheless,current payload capacity and satellite hardware limitations prevent the extension of the interferometric baseline by enlarging the physical antenna size.This constraint hinders achieving centimeter-level accuracy in interferometric altimetry.To address this challenge,we conducted a numerical simulation to assess the viability of a large baseline interferometric imaging altimeter(LB-IIA).By controlling the baseline within the range of 600-1000 m through spiral orbit design in two satellites and mitigating baseline de-correlation with the carrier frequency shift(CFS)technique,we aimed to overcome the above limitations.Our findings demonstrate the efficacy of the CFS technique in compensating for baseline decoherence,elevating coherence from less than 0.1 to over 0.85.Concurrently.The height difference accuracy between neighboring sea surfaces reaches 1 cm within a 1 km resolution.This study is anticipated to serve as a foundational reference for future interferometric imaging altimeter development,catering to the demand for high-precision sea topography data in accurate global bathymetry inversion.

文摘The natural visibility graph method has been widely used in physiological signal analysis,but it fails to accurately handle signals with data points below the baseline.Such signals are common across various physiological measurements,including electroencephalograph(EEG)and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI),and are crucial for insights into physiological phenomena.This study introduces a novel method,the baseline perspective visibility graph(BPVG),which can analyze time series by accurately capturing connectivity across data points both above and below the baseline.We present the BPVG construction process and validate its performance using simulated signals.Results demonstrate that BPVG accurately translates periodic,random,and fractal signals into regular,random,and scale-free networks respectively,exhibiting diverse degree distribution traits.Furthermore,we apply BPVG to classify Alzheimer’s disease(AD)patients from healthy controls using EEG data and identify non-demented adults at varying dementia risk using resting-state fMRI(rs-fMRI)data.Utilizing degree distribution entropy derived from BPVG networks,our results exceed the best accuracy benchmark(77.01%)in EEG analysis,especially at channels F4(78.46%)and O1(81.54%).Additionally,our rs-fMRI analysis achieves a statistically significant classification accuracy of 76.74%.These findings highlight the effectiveness of BPVG in distinguishing various time series types and its practical utility in EEG and rs-fMRI analysis for early AD detection and dementia risk assessment.In conclusion,BPVG’s validation across both simulated and real data confirms its capability to capture comprehensive information from time series,irrespective of baseline constraints,providing a novel method for studying neural physiological signals.
文摘Based on the finite element （FE） program ANSYS, a three-dimensional model for the Runyang Suspension Bridge （RSB） is established. The structural natural frequency, vibration mode, stress and displacement response under various load cases are given. A new method of FE model updating is presented based on the physical meaning of sensitivity and the penalty function concept. In this method, the structural model is updated by modifying the parameters of design, and validated by structural natural vibration characteristics, stress response as well as displacement response. The design parameters used for updating are bounded according to measured static response and engineering judgment. The FE model of RSB is updated and validated by the measurements coming from the structural health monitoring system （SHMS）, and the FE baseline model reflecting the current state of RSB is achieved. Both the dynamic and static results show that the method is effective in updating the FE model of long span suspension bridges. The results obtained provide an important research basis for damage alarming and health monitoring of the RSB.

文摘The authors proposed a moving long baseline algorithm based on the extended Kalman filter （EKF） for cooperative navigation and localization of multi-unmanned underwater vehicles （UUVs）. Research on cooperative navigation and localization for multi-UUVs is important to solve navigation problems that restrict long and deep excursions. The authors investigated improvements in navigation accuracy. In the moving long base line （MLBL） structure, the master UUV is equipped with a high precision navigation system as a node of the moving long baseline, and the slave UUV is equipped with a low precision navigation system. They are both equipped with acoustic devices to measure relative location. Using traditional triangulation methods to calculate the position of the slave UUV may cause a faulty solution. An EKF was designed to solve this, combining the proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors. Research results proved that the navigational accuracy is improved significantly with the MLBL method based on EKF.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to avoid and delay the generation of resis- tance in Botrytis cinerea to boscalid. [Method] The sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea to boscalid was tested by the mycelial growth rate method. The distribution of sensitivity variation of B. cinerea to boscalid in different regions was cleared, and the sen- sitivity baseline of B. cinerea from Liaoning Province to boscalid was established. [Result] The ECso values of B. cinerea strains from Liaoning Province ranged from 0.080 0 to 7.787 2μg/ml, and the highest ECho value was 97.34 times higher than the minimum. The average EC50 value （1.973μg/ml） of the 158 strains was treated as the baseline sensitivity of B. cinerea from Liaoning Province to boscalid. [Conclu- sion] It is essential to conduct a risk assessment of drug resistance in B. cinerea to boscalid.
