Here we report on simultaneous lidar observations of sporadic Ni(Nis)layers and sporadic Na(Nas)layers in the atmosphere over Yanqing,Beijing(40.42°N,116.02°E)from April 2019 to October 2022.During 343 night...Here we report on simultaneous lidar observations of sporadic Ni(Nis)layers and sporadic Na(Nas)layers in the atmosphere over Yanqing,Beijing(40.42°N,116.02°E)from April 2019 to October 2022.During 343 nights of observation,68 Nis and 56 Nas were observed.The seasonal variation of Nis and Nas was also obtained,with the highest occurrence of Nis being in July(43%)and that of Nas being in June(61%).We found that the seasonal variation of Nis is similar to that of Nas and that both occur more frequently in summer than in winter.In addition,we found 23 events in which Nis and Nas occur simultaneously.The average peak altitude of Nas is approximately 1 km higher than that of Nis,and the peak density ratio of Nas to Nis is approximately 5,which is half the density ratio of the two main layers.Additionally,the strength factor for Nas is smaller than that for Nis.Through data analysis of sporadic E layers(Es),we found that Nis and Nas has a significant correlation with Es.The neutralization rates of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)were calculated according to the dissociative recombination reaction of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)and the WACCM-Ni(Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model of Ni).The production rates of Ni and Na were estimated to be approximately 1:4.4,which is consistent with the density ratio of Nis to Nas.The results showed that the neutralization reaction of Ni+,Na+,and electrons in Es is the main reason for the formation of the Nis layer and the Nas layer.展开更多

However, existing theoretical advancements face certain limitations: They either fail to address more complex nonlinear phenomena, rely on hard-to-verify assumptions, or encounter difficulties in solving system parameters.Consequently, this paper aims to address these challenges by investigating distributed observers for nonlinear systems through the full-measured canonical form(FMCF), which is inspired by full-measured system(FMS) theory. To begin with, this study addresses the fact that the FMCF can only be obtained through the observable canonical form(OCF) in existing FMS theories.The paper demonstrates that a class of nonlinear systems can directly obtain FMCF through state space equations, independent of OCF. Also, a general method for solving FMCF in such systems is provided. Furthermore, based on the FMCF, A distributed observer is developed for nonlinear systems under two scenarios: Lipschitz conditions and open-loop bounded conditions.The paper establishes their asymptotic omniscience and demonstrates that the designed distributed observer in this study has fewer design parameters and is more convenient to construct than existing approaches. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated through simulation results on Van der Pol oscillators and microgrid systems.展开更多

文摘Here we report on simultaneous lidar observations of sporadic Ni(Nis)layers and sporadic Na(Nas)layers in the atmosphere over Yanqing,Beijing(40.42°N,116.02°E)from April 2019 to October 2022.During 343 nights of observation,68 Nis and 56 Nas were observed.The seasonal variation of Nis and Nas was also obtained,with the highest occurrence of Nis being in July(43%)and that of Nas being in June(61%).We found that the seasonal variation of Nis is similar to that of Nas and that both occur more frequently in summer than in winter.In addition,we found 23 events in which Nis and Nas occur simultaneously.The average peak altitude of Nas is approximately 1 km higher than that of Nis,and the peak density ratio of Nas to Nis is approximately 5,which is half the density ratio of the two main layers.Additionally,the strength factor for Nas is smaller than that for Nis.Through data analysis of sporadic E layers(Es),we found that Nis and Nas has a significant correlation with Es.The neutralization rates of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)were calculated according to the dissociative recombination reaction of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)and the WACCM-Ni(Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model of Ni).The production rates of Ni and Na were estimated to be approximately 1:4.4,which is consistent with the density ratio of Nis to Nas.The results showed that the neutralization reaction of Ni+,Na+,and electrons in Es is the main reason for the formation of the Nis layer and the Nas layer.

文摘Unmanned combat aerial vehicles require lightweight,stealth-capable exhaust systems.However,traditional metallic nozzles increase radar detectability and reduce range,while advanced composites offer high performance but are expensive.Therefore,to improve the operational range and survivability of unmanned combat aerial vehicles,a lightweight,high-temperature-resistant,oxidation-resistant,and low-observable composite exhaust nozzle is developed to replace conventional metallic straight-type nozzles.The nozzle features a double serpentine shape to reduce radar and infrared signatures and is manufactured as a monolithic structure using the filament winding process,accommodating the complex geometry and large size(length:1.8 m,width:0.8 m).The exhaust nozzle consists of a ceramic matrix composite made of silicon carbide fibers and a silicon oxycarbide matrix,which absorbs and scatters radio frequency signals while withstanding prolonged exposure to high-temperature(700℃)oxidizing environments typical of engine exhaust gases.The polysiloxane resin used to produce the silicon oxycarbide matrix poses significant challenges owing to its low tackiness and high viscosity variations depending on the presence of nanoparticles,making filament winding difficult.These challenges are addressed by optimizing resin viscosity and winding pattern design.As a result,the tensile strength of the composite specimens fabricated with the optimized viscosity increases by 228.03% before pyrolysis and 97.68%after pyrolysis,compared with that of the non-optimized specimens.In addition,the density and tensile strength of the composite processed via three cycles of polymer infiltration and pyrolysis increased by 13.08% and 80.37%,respectively,compared to those of the non-densified composite.High-temperature oxidation and flame tests demonstrate exceptional thermal and oxidative stability.Furthermore,when compared with carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites,the developed composite exhibits a permittivity at least two levels lower and a reflection loss below7 dB within the frequency range of 9.3-10.9 GHz,underscoring its superior electromagnetic stealth performance.

文摘This paper investigates the adaptive optimal tracking control(AOTC)for underactuated surface vessels(USVs).Compared to the majority of existing studies,the control strategy in this paper innovatively combines an extended state observer(ESO)with reinforcement learning(RL).The designed ESO has high estimation accuracy and robust disturbance rejection capabilities for the unmeasurable information for USVs.To obtain the AOTC,the actor–critic(AC)networks based on RL are constructed to solve the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman(HJB)equations.Due to the uncertainties,it is challenging to obtain the optimal controller by directly solving the HJB equations.To address this issue,this paper employs neural networks(NNs)to approximate the uncertainties and solves the optimal controller via AC-RL and ESO.In addition,the adaptive parameters of the optimal controller is trained in parallel with AC networks,which can ensure that the trained networks can further improve tracking performance.The boundedness of AOTC for USVs is shown by Lyapunov stability theorem.Finally,simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘This paper presents an artificial intelligence(AI)-based observer that combines fuzzy logic and neural networks to detect abnormalities in sensors embedded in an electrolyser.Electrolysers are hydrogen production plants that require effective maintenance to guarantee suitable operation,prevent degradation,and avoid loss of efficiency.In this sense,predictive maintenance arises as one of the most advisable techniques for maintenance in electrolysers by using sensor data to predict potential abnormalities.However,if the sensor fails,there will be an incorrect forecasting of abnormalities.Among the different types of operational faults that sensors can present are drift-related faults,which are probably the most difficult to detect due to a slow but progressive loss of accuracy in measurements.Another problem with predictive maintenance is that it often requires enormous training data,which is not available at the early stage of plant operation.The developed fuzzy system is responsible for detecting faulty readings arising from drift sensor signals,while the neural network complements the function of the fuzzy system by predicting sensor signals when enough training data are available.The AI-based observer and the fuzzy rules are validated in an experimental case study with a 1 Nm^(3)/h electrolyser.The selected variables are electrolyser temperature and efficiency.Experimental results show that the rules of the fuzzy component of the AI-based observer guarantee an accuracy of±0.25 within the range of 0 to 1,and the neural network component predicted correct sensor values with a root mean square error(RMSE)as low as 0.0016.The authors’approach helps to determine drift faults without additional sensors or components installed in the plant.

文摘Lithium metal batteries(LMBs)represent a promising solution for next-generation energy storage due to their high energy density,but the growth of lithium dendrites presents significant challenges to their performance and safety.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms behind lithium dendrite formation and the role of in situ/operando observation and phase field simulation in understanding and mitigating this issue,The key driving factors of dendrite growth,such as lithium-ion flux heterogeneity,surface defects,and localized stress,are explored through advanced experimental techniques,which enable real-time visualization of dendrite nucleation and growth dynamics.Complementarily,phase field simulations provide insights into subsurface and temporal evolution of dendrites by modeling thermodynamic and kinetic processes,while machine learning techniques optimize simulation accuracy through data-driven parameter refinement.The integration of experimental observations with simulation models holds great potential in improving understanding and predictive capabilities.Despite ongoing progress,challenges remain in resolving technical limitations in observation techniques,improving computational efficiency,and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.This review highlights the synergy between experimental and computational strategies in advancing the development of LMBs and calls for continued research to overcome existing hurdles and unlock the full potential of lithium metal anodes.

文摘The spatial variability in the atmospheric CO_(2)and CH_(4)concentrations in urban land is affected by the source type,source distribution,and emission intensity in the cityscape.In this study,we analyzed vehicle-mounted measurements of street-level CO_(2)and CH_(4)concentrations in Hangzhou—a large metropolitan area in the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China.The results revealed that CO_(2)and CH_(4)emission hotspots did not overlap geographically,with the former occurring as linear features at elevated road intersections and expressways and the latter occurring at waste treatment facilities(sewage treatment plants and landfills).The CH_(4):CO_(2)emission ratios(ppb ppm^(-1))were ranked in increasing order as follows:traffic(1.01±1.82;mean±1 SD);overall(3.46±2.71);sewage treatment(12.76±2.50);and landfill(36.50±10.15).Waste treatment was largely responsible for the increased overall emission ratio,supporting this source category as a major contributor to the CH_(4)budget in this city and suggesting a negligible role of domestic appliances(cookstoves and water heaters).A two-source mixing model calculation indicated that 99.9%of nonelectric vehicles in Hangzhou were gasoline-powered,revealing a recent shift in vehicle fuel composition from gasoline/natural gas to gasoline/electricity.The methodology established in this study is applicable to cities elsewhere.

文摘Micro-nano Earth Observation Satellite(MEOS)constellation has the advantages of low construction cost,short revisit cycle,and high functional density,which is considered a promising solution for serving rapidly growing observation demands.The observation Scheduling Problem in the MEOS constellation(MEOSSP)is a challenging issue due to the large number of satellites and tasks,as well as complex observation constraints.To address the large-scale and complicated MEOSSP,we develop a Two-Stage Scheduling Algorithm based on the Pointer Network with Attention mechanism(TSSA-PNA).In TSSA-PNA,the MEOS observation scheduling is decomposed into a task allocation stage and a single-MEOS scheduling stage.In the task allocation stage,an adaptive task allocation algorithm with four problem-specific allocation operators is proposed to reallocate the unscheduled tasks to new MEOSs.Regarding the single-MEOS scheduling stage,we design a pointer network based on the encoder-decoder architecture to learn the optimal singleMEOS scheduling solution and introduce the attention mechanism into the encoder to improve the learning efficiency.The Pointer Network with Attention mechanism(PNA)can generate the single-MEOS scheduling solution quickly in an end-to-end manner.These two decomposed stages are performed iteratively to search for the solution with high profit.A greedy local search algorithm is developed to improve the profits further.The performance of the PNA and TSSA-PNA on singleMEOS and multi-MEOS scheduling problems are evaluated in the experiments.The experimental results demonstrate that PNA can obtain the approximate solution for the single-MEOS scheduling problem in a short time.Besides,the TSSA-PNA can achieve higher observation profits than the existing scheduling algorithms within the acceptable computational time for the large-scale MEOS scheduling problem.

文摘Driven by practical applications, the achievement of distributed observers for nonlinear systems has emerged as a crucial advancement in recent years. However, existing theoretical advancements face certain limitations: They either fail to address more complex nonlinear phenomena, rely on hard-to-verify assumptions, or encounter difficulties in solving system parameters.Consequently, this paper aims to address these challenges by investigating distributed observers for nonlinear systems through the full-measured canonical form(FMCF), which is inspired by full-measured system(FMS) theory. To begin with, this study addresses the fact that the FMCF can only be obtained through the observable canonical form(OCF) in existing FMS theories.The paper demonstrates that a class of nonlinear systems can directly obtain FMCF through state space equations, independent of OCF. Also, a general method for solving FMCF in such systems is provided. Furthermore, based on the FMCF, A distributed observer is developed for nonlinear systems under two scenarios: Lipschitz conditions and open-loop bounded conditions.The paper establishes their asymptotic omniscience and demonstrates that the designed distributed observer in this study has fewer design parameters and is more convenient to construct than existing approaches. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated through simulation results on Van der Pol oscillators and microgrid systems.
文摘BACKGROUND Colonic diverticular bleeding(CDB)is a leading cause of gastrointestinal blee-ding-related hospitalizations in Japan and is increasingly recognized as a signifi-cant burden in the United States.Identifying the stigmata of a recent hemorrhage(SRH)during colonoscopy enables targeted hemostasis and reduces rebleeding.However,no benchmark exists for an appropriate observation duration,resulting in operator-dependent variation.Short observation periods may lead to missed SRH,whereas unnecessarily prolonged procedures,particularly in older patients,can increase patient burden and limit endoscopy unit availability.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with acute hematochezia who underwent an initial colonoscopy between January 2017 and December 2024 at a Japanese tertiary hospital.The Observation time was measured from scope insertion to SRH detection(excluding therapeutic time)or withdrawal.The primary outcome,the“5%plateau time”,was defined as the point when the proportion of patients newly identified with SRH in each 5-minute interval consistently dropped below 5%.Computed tomography(CT)-based stratified analyses were performed by endoscopists who conducted≥10%of procedures.RESULTS Of the 1039 patients who underwent colonoscopy,845(mean age 77±11 years;64.5%male)were included.Nine board-certified endoscopists performed the procedures.SRH was detected in 286 patients(33.8%),with a median detection time of 19 minutes(interquartile range,12-28 minutes).The overall 5%plateau time was 40 minutes and varied according to the CT findings:40,35,and 30 minutes for no extravasation,right-sided extravasation,and left-sided extravasation,respectively.This time point corresponded to when 80%-90%of SRH cases were detected.De-spite variations in SRH detection rates and observation durations among endoscopists,the 5%plateau time was consistently approximately 40 minutes.CONCLUSION Although it varied according to the CT findings,the overall 5%plateau time was 40 minutes.This offers a practical benchmark for the minimum observation time without SRH detection.

文摘Extended state observer(ESO)is heavily limited by the unknown disturbance and its derivative,which requires high observing gains to decrease estimating error,resulting in serious noise sensitivity.To modify the disturbance estimation characteristics encountered by the observer,the active compression extended state observer(ACESO)is proposed in this study.The ACESO decreases the bound of residual lumped disturbance and its derivative by actively compressing the initial lumped disturbance,without relying on prior knowledge.The stability constraint and convergence results of ACESO are analyzed and compared with ESO theoretically.The results show that the ACESO mitigates the trade-off between noise sensitivity and high-gain observation.Benefiting from active compression,the ACESO has substantially less noise sensitivity than the ESO,while obtaining the same and even better estimating performance than the ESO.In addition,the nonlinear ACESO is discussed,which automatically balances the contradiction between estimation and convergence.Simulations and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

文摘This study explored the observation strategy and effectiveness of synoptic-scale adaptive observations for improving sea fog prediction in coastal regions around the Bohai Sea based on a poorly predicted fog event with cold-front synoptic pattern(CFSP).An ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation system for the Weather Research and Forecasting model was adopted with ensemble sensitivity analysis(ESA).By comparing observation impacts(estimated from a 40-member ensemble with ESA)among different meteorological observation variables and pressure levels,the temperature at 850 hPa and surface layer(850 hPa-and-surface temperature)was selected as the target observation type.Additionally,the area with large observation impacts for this observation type was predicted in the transition region of the surface low–high system.This area developed southward with the low and moved eastward with the low–high system,which could be explained by the main features of CFSP.Moreover,both experiments assimilating synthetic and real observations showed that assimilating 850 hPa-and-surface temperature observations generally yielded better fog coverage forecasts in areas with greater observation impacts than areas with smaller impacts.However,the effectiveness of adaptive observations was reduced when real observations rather than synthetic observations were assimilated,which is possibly due to factors such as observation and model errors.The main conclusions above were verified by another typical fog event with CFSP characteristics.Results of this study highlight the importance of improved initial conditions in the transition region of the low–high system for improving fog prediction and provide scientific guidance for implementing an observation network for fog forecasting over the Bohai Sea.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter investigates the optimal transmission scheduling problem in remote state estimation systems over an unknown wireless channel.We propose a partially observable Markov decision Process(POMDP)framework to model the sensor scheduling problem.By truncating and simplifying the POMDP problem,we have established the properties of the optimal solution under the POMDP model,through a fixed-point contraction method,and have shown that the threshold structure of the POMDP solution is not easily attainable.Subsequently,we obtained a suboptimal solution via Qlearning.Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed Q-learning approach.
文摘This paper presents a novel active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)scheme based on a cascade connection of generalized proportional integral observers(GPIOs)with internal models designed to estimate both polynomial and resonant disturbances.In this estimator structure,referred to as Cascade GPIO(CGPIO),the total disturbance sensitivity is the product of the sensitivities at each cascade level.This approach improves system performance against both periodic and non-periodic disturbances and enhances robustness under frequency variations in harmonic components.Additionally,the decoupled nature of the estimator reduces the order of the GPIOs,thereby simplifying tuning and limiting observer gains.The proposed control scheme is supported by a frequency-domain analysis and is experimentally validated in the current control of a grid-connected converter subject to control gain uncertainties,harmonic distortion,frequency deviations,and measurement noise.Experimental results demonstrate that the CGPIO-based ADRC outperforms benchmark solutions,including proportional-integral(PI)and proportional-resonant(PR)controllers.

文摘The characteristics of nonmetallic inclusions formed during steel production have a significant influence on steel performance.In this paper,studies on inclusions using confocal scanning laser microscopy(CSLM)are reviewed and summarized,particularly the col-lision of various inclusions,dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,and reactions between inclusions and steel.Solid inclusions exhibited a high collision tendency,whereas pure liquid inclusions exhibited minimal collisions because of the small attraction force induced by their<90°contact angle with molten steel.The collision of complex inclusions in molten steel was not included in the scope of this study and should be evaluated in future studies.Higher CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)and CaO/SiO_(2)ratios in liquid slag promoted the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)-based in-clusions.The formation of solid phases in the slag should be prevented to improve dissolution of inclusions.To accurately simulate the dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,in-situ observation of the dissolution of inclusions at the steel-slag interface is necessary.Using a combination of CSLM and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy,the composition and morphological evolution of the inclusions during their modification by the dissolved elements in steel were observed and analyzed.Although the in-situ observa-tion of MnS and TiN precipitations has been widely studied,the in-situ observation of the evolution of oxide inclusions in steel during so-lidification and heating processes has rarely been reported.The effects of temperature,heating and cooling rates,and inclusion character-istics on the formation of acicular ferrites(AFs)have been widely studied.At a cooling rate of 3-5 K/s,the order of AF growth rate in-duced by different inclusions,as reported in literature,is Ti-O<Ti-Ca-Zr-Al-O<Mg-O<Ti-Zr-Al-O<Mn-Ti-Al-O<Ti-Al-O<Zr-Ti-Al-O.Further comprehensive experiments are required to investigate the quantitative relationship between the formation of AFs and inclusions.
