The problem that is addressed in this study is to design a decentralized robust guaranteed cost state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is not only regular, impulse-free and stable, but also guarantees an adequate level of performance for all admissible uncertainties. A sufficient condition for the existence of the decentralized robust guaranteed cost state feedback controllers is proposed in terms of a linear matrix inequality （LMI） via LMI approach. When this condition is feasible, the desired state feedback decentralized robust guaranteed cost controller gain matrices can be obtained. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.展开更多

文摘It has been argued that the human brain,as an information-processing machine,operates near a phase transition point in a non-equilibrium state,where it violates detailed balance leading to entropy production.Thus,the assessment of irreversibility in brain networks can provide valuable insights into their non-equilibrium properties.In this study,we utilized an open-source whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)dataset from both resting and task states to evaluate the irreversibility of large-scale human brain networks.Our analysis revealed that the brain networks exhibited significant irreversibility,violating detailed balance,and generating entropy.Notably,both physical and cognitive tasks increased the extent of this violation compared to the resting state.Regardless of the state(rest or task),interactions between pairs of brain regions were the primary contributors to this irreversibility.Moreover,we observed that as global synchrony increased within brain networks,so did irreversibility.The first derivative of irreversibility with respect to synchronization peaked near the phase transition point,characterized by the moderate mean synchronization and maximized synchronization entropy of blood oxygenation level-dependent(BOLD)signals.These findings deepen our understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of large-scale brain networks,particularly in relation to their phase transition behaviors,and may have potential clinical applications for brain disorders.

文摘Offshore wind power plays a crucial role in energy strategies.The results of traditional small-scale physical models may be unreliable when extrapolated to large field scales.This study addressed this limitation by conducting large-scale(1:13)experiments to investigate the scour hole pattern and equilibrium scour depth around both slender and large monopiles under irregular waves.The experiments adopted KeuleganeCarpenter number(NKC)values from 1.01 to 8.89 and diffraction parameter(D/L,where D is the diameter of the monopile,and L is the wave length)values from 0.016 to 0.056.The results showed that changes in the maximum scour location and scour hole shape around a slender monopile were associated with NKC,with differences observed between irregular and regular waves.Improving the calculation of NKC enhanced the accuracy of existing scour formulae under irregular waves.The maximum scour locations around a large monopile were consistently found on both sides,regardless of NKC and D/L,but the scour hole topography was influenced by both parameters.Notably,the scour range around a large monopile was at least as large as the monopile diameter.

文摘In 2022, South China(SC) experienced record-breaking rainfall during its first rainy season, causing severe socioeconomic losses. This study examines the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for this extreme event.Analysis reveals that the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over SC plays a crucial role. This cyclonic anomaly consists of extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of SC and tropical southwesterly anomalies to the south. Both components were particularly intense during the 2022 first rainy season, contributing to the heavy rainfall in SC. Moreover,the lower-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly is enhanced by its counterpart in the upper troposphere, which is associated with a wave train propagating from the North Atlantic to East Asia across the mid-high latitudes of the Eurasian continent.Further analysis indicates that the extratropical wave train correlates with sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs) in the North Atlantic. Additionally, the SSTAs over the North Indian Ocean also play a role in enhancing the tropical southwesterlies in the lower troposphere. This study highlights the combined influence of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the record-breaking rainfall.
文摘This study employs deformation monitoring data acquired during the construction of the Haoji railway large-scale bridge to investigate the displacement behavior of the subgrades,catenary columns,and tracks.Emphasis is placed on data acquisition and processing methods using total stations and automated monitoring systems.Through a comprehensive analysis of lateral,longitudinal,and vertical displacement data from 26 subgrade monitoring points,catenary columns,and track sections,this research evaluates how construction activities influence railway structures.The results show that displacement variations in the subgrades,catenary columns,and tracks remained within the established alert thresholds,exhibiting stable deformation trends and indicating that any adverse environmental impact was effectively contained.Furthermore,this paper proposes an early warning mechanism based on an automated monitoring system,which can promptly detect abnormal deformations and initiate emergency response procedures,thereby ensuring the safe operation of the railway.The integration of big data analysis and deformation prediction models offers a practical foundation for future safety management in railway construction.
