文摘In an ultraprecision turning process for small-diameter optical aspheric workpieces,tool-profile errors induce mid-frequency errors in the workpiece profile,limiting further improvements in precision.In this study,an XZB three-axis linkage ultraprecision machining method is proposed,and the effects of tool-center errors are analyzed.To address residual errors in Z-direction profile-error compensation,a workpiece normal-profile-error compensation method is proposed.After XZB three-axis linkage turning and compensation,the workpiece profile error(PV)reaches 0.086μm,surpassing the precision of XZ two-axis machining,and mid-frequency errors are reduced.Compared with Z-direction profile-error compensation,which results in a profile error of 0.092μm,normal-profile-error compensation reduces PV to 0.047μm,considerably improving aspheric accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate that XZB three-axis linkage machining significantly improves the aspheric workpiece profile,enhancing both its accuracy and surface quality.This method reduces mid-frequency errors,and the subsequent application of normal-profile-error compensation further refines the profile,achieving higher overall accuracy.

文摘Conventional error cancellation approaches separate molecules into smaller fragments and sum the errors of all fragments to counteract the overall computational error of the parent molecules.However,these approaches may be ineffective for systems with strong localized chemical effects,as fragmenting specific substructures into simpler chemical bonds can introduce additional errors instead of mitigating them.To address this issue,we propose the Substructure-Preserved Connection-Based Hierarchy(SCBH),a method that automatically identifies and freezes substructures with significant local chemical effects prior to molecular fragmentation.The SCBH is validated by the gas-phase enthalpy of formation calculation of CHNO molecules.Therein,based on the atomization scheme,the reference and test values are derived at the levels of Gaussian-4(G4)and M062X/6-31+G(2df,p),respectively.Compared to commonly used approaches,SCBH reduces the average computational error by half and requires only15%of the computational cost of G4 to achieve comparable accuracy.Since different types of local effect structures have differentiated influences on gas-phase enthalpy of formation,substituents with strong electronic effects should be retained preferentially.SCBH can be readily extended to diverse classes of organic compounds.Its workflow and source code allow flexible customization of molecular moieties,including azide,carboxyl,trinitromethyl,phenyl,and others.This strategy facilitates accurate,rapid,and automated computations and corrections,making it well-suited for high-throughput molecular screening and dataset construction for gas-phase enthalpy of formation.

文摘In this paper,we consider a multiple-input single-output(MISO)Hammerstein system whose inputs and output are disturbed by unknown Gaussian white measurement noises.The parameter estimation of such a system is a typical errors-in-variables(EIV)nonlinear system identification problem.This paper proposes a bias-correction least squares(BCLS)identification methods to compute a consistent estimate of EIV MISO Hammerstein systems from noisy data.To obtain the unbiased parameter estimates of EIV MISO Hammerstein system,the analytical expression of estimated bias for the standard least squares(LS)algorithm is derived first,which is a function about the variances of noises.And then a recursive algorithm is proposed to estimate the unknown term of noises variances from noisy data.Finally,based on bias estimation scheme,the bias caused by the correlation between the input–output signals exciting the true system and the corresponding measurement noise,resulting in unbiased parameter estimates of the EIV MISO Hammerstein system.The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through a simulation example and a chemical continuously stirred tank reactor(CSTR)system.
文摘For the complex nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations,it is not easy to prove the Pogorelov type estimates.In this paper,we study a class of complex Hessian quotient type equations in convex cone Γ_(k),which is of mixed Hessian type.For the Γ_(k)-admissible solutions,we establish the corresponding Pogorelov estimates with 0≤l<k<n and Pogorelov type estimates with l+1<k=n and l≥0.These extend the previous related results on the real Hessian quotient type equations.

文摘For the ultra HVDC(UHVDC)with the hierarchical connection mode at the inverter side,considering the change of the Thevenin equivalent parameters(TEP)of post-fault AC grid,a coordinated control strategy to the subsequent commutation failure(SCF)at both layers is newly proposed.The originality of this work is manifested in three aspects.1)The mechanism of the SCF at the fault layer is newly found by deriving the analytical expression of the extinction angle with the TEP,and that at the non-fault layer is newly found by the voltage-time area theory with the DC current coupling.2)An estimation model for the TEPs of two AC grids at the inverter side is proposed with the post-fault quantities.To address the random noise and inaccurate measurement data,an adaptive robust least squares method based on the median principle is proposed to solve the TEP model.3)A coordinated control strategy with the estimated TEP is proposed to compensate for the extinction angle at the fault layer and limit the DC current at the non-fault layer,thus suppressing the SCF.The simulation results verify the suppression effect of the proposed control on the SCF under different fault conditions.
文摘Inborn errors of metabolism(IEMs)are a large group of disorders resulting from deficient activities in several metabolic pathways due to the dysfunction of a distinct enzyme associated with a biochemical pathway[1,2].Toxic intermediates will be produced due to the dysfunction of biochemical pathways.The liver is responsible for many essential metabolic processes,therefore it becomes one of the most severely affected organ by metabolic diseases[3].Early onset of liver disorders in IEMs includes jaundice,hepatomegaly,splenomegaly,ascites,hepatic encephalopathy,and liver failure[4].In infants and young children under 3 years old with acute liver failure(ALF),IEMs account for 18.9%-43%[5].
文摘Inborn errors of metabolism(IEM)are rare disorders,most are liver-based with liver transplantation(LT)emerging as an effective cure in the pediatric population.LT has been shown to offer a cure or deter disease progression and provide symptomatic improvement in patients with IEM.Each metabolic disorder is unique,with the missing enzyme or transporter protein causing substrate deficiency or toxic byproduct production.Knowledge about the distribution of deficient enzymes,the percentage of enzymes replaced by LT,and the extent of extrahepatic involvement helps anticipate and manage complications in the perioperative period.Most patients have multisystem involvement and can be on complex dietary regimens.Metabolic decompensation can be triggered due to the stress response to surgery,fasting and other unanticipated complications perioperatively.Thus,a multidisciplinary team’s input including those from metabolic specialists is essential to develop disease and patient-specific strategies for the perioperative management of these patients during LT.In this review,we outline the classification of IEM,indications for LT along with potential benefits,basic metabolic defects and their implications,details of extrahepatic involvement and perioperative management strategies for LT in children with some of the commonly presenting IEM,to assist anesthesiologists handling this cohort of patients.
