In order to relieve the experience dependence and improve the design, a new Multidisciplinary Design Optimization （MDO） method ＂Bi-Level Integrated System Collaborative Optimization （BLISCO）＂ is applied to the conceptual design of an HOV, which consists of hull module, resistance module, energy module, structure module, weight module, and the stability module. This design problem is defined by 21 design variables and 23 constraints, and its objective is to maximize the ratio of payload to weight. The results show that the general performance of the HOV can be greatly improved by BLISCO.展开更多

The broad rotational wave packets excited by the femtosecond pulse are defined in conjugate angle space, and their coefficients are obtained by solving a set of coupled linear equations. Both single molecule orientation angles and an ensemble of O2 and CO molecule angular distributions are calculated in detail. The numerical results show that, for single molecule highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） symmetry σ tends to have a molecular orientation along the laser polarization direction and the permanent dipole moment diminishes the mean of the orientation angles; for an ensemble of molecules, angular distributions provide more complex and additional information at times where there are no revivals in the single molecule plot. In particular, at the revival peak instant, with the increase of temperature of the molecular ensemble, the anisotropic angular distributions with respect to the laser polarization direction of the πg orbital gradually transform to the symmetrical distributions regarding the laser polarization vector and for two HOMO configurations angular distributions of all directions are confined within a smaller angle when the temperature of the molecular ensemble is higher.展开更多

Then we compare fullerenes with carbon nanotubes（CNTs） and graphene sheets（GSs） and find that the increase of the HOMO energy of a fullerene is much faster than that of CNTs and graphene sheets with the same number of C atoms. The rising rate rank is fullerene>CNT>GS, which holds no matter what the number of C atoms is or which structure the fullerene isomer is. This work paves a new path for developing all-carbon devices with low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials as different functional elements.展开更多

For ease of use, an array combined by a vertical-cone directional transducer and a horizontal-toroid one is installed on the mothership. Improved techniques are proposed to combat adverse channel conditions, such as frequency selectivity, non-stationary ship noise, and Doppler effects of the platform’s nonlinear movement. For coherent modulation, a turbo-coded single-carrier scheme is used. In the receiver, the sparse decision-directed Normalized Least-Mean-Square soft equalizer automatically adjusts the tap pattern and weights according to the multipath structure, the two receivers’ asymmetry, the signal’s frequency selectivity and the noise’s spectrum fluctuation. The use of turbo code in turbo equalization significantly suppresses the error floor and decreases the equalizer’s iteration times, which is verified by both the extrinsic information transfer charts and bit-error-rate performance. For noncoherent modulation, a concatenated error correction scheme of nonbinary convolutional code and Hadamard code is adopted to utilize full frequency diversity. Robust and lowcomplexity synchronization techniques in the time and Doppler domains are proposed. Sea trials with the submersible to a maximum depth of over 4500 m show that the shipborne communication system performs robustly during the adverse conditions. From the ten-thousand communication records in the 28 dives in 2017, the failure rate of the coherent frames and that of the noncoherent packets are both below 10%, where both synchronization errors and decoding errors are taken into account.展开更多

This is the first report of the overall status of wolverines in China. The geographic distribution and population sizes of wolverines in the Greater Khingan and Altai Mountains were surveyed by line transect from1996–2000 and in 2011, respectively. We identified two geographically distinct groups in the Great Khingan Mountains, with a total population size of about 200 individuals throughout the region（approximately80,000 km^2）. Wolverines were also confirmed to be present in the Altai Mountains, where about 100 individuals occupied approximately 28,000 km^2 of mountain forest and tundra. Prey depletion and habitat loss, which are correlated with increasing human activities, are the main reasons for wolverine population declines in China.展开更多

I believe the answer to this question exemplifies the characteristics of impactful researchers. Most research fields rely on a set of core skills and tend to develop tunnel-vision with respect to research topics. These factors can be stultifying for the field, but present opportunities to those in other fields with the vision and fortitude to span research fields and fill unoccupied niches where their approach and skillset is needed and lacking.展开更多

文摘In order to improve the navigation accuracy of human occupied vehicle(HOV)precisely and efficiently,an innovative hybrid approach based on unscented Kalman filter(UKF)and support vector machine(SVM)is proposed to fuse integrated navigation data.HOV is generally equipped with long baseline(LBL)acoustic positioning system and dead reckoning(DR)as an integrated navigation system.UKF is adopted to estimate the state of the dynamic model because of its good performance in filtering nonlinear problems.An accurate and stable filtering result can be obtained when both LBL and DR are online.At the same time,SVM is utilized to train DR information with the result when LBL outrages,and the particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm is employed for SVM parameters optimization.Therefore,the integrated navigation system can maintain a good performance when the LBL is off-line.Simulation results with the real navigation data of Jiaolong HOV show that the methodology proposed here is able to meet the needs of HOV application.

文摘Inherent flaws in the extended Kalman filter(EKF) algorithm were pointed out and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) was put forward as an alternative.Furthermore,a novel adaptive unscented Kalman filter(AUKF) based on innovation was developed.The three data-fusing approaches were analyzed and evaluated in a mathematically rigorous way.Field experiments conducted in lake further demonstrate that AUKF reduces the position error approximately by 65% compared with EKF and by 35% UKF and improves the robust performance.

文摘In this paper,a blind multiband spectrum sensing(BMSS)method requiring no knowledge of noise power,primary signal and wireless channel is proposed based on the K-means clustering(KMC).In this approach,the KMC algorithm is used to identify the occupied subband set(OSS)and the idle subband set(ISS),and then the location and number information of the occupied channels are obtained according to the elements in the OSS.Compared with the classical BMSS methods based on the information theoretic criteria(ITC),the new method shows more excellent performance especially in the low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the small sampling number scenarios,and more robust detection performance in noise uncertainty or unequal noise variance applications.Meanwhile,the new method performs more stablely than the ITC-based methods when the occupied subband number increases or the primary signals suffer multi-path fading.Simulation result verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘As a coprocessor, field-programmable gate array （FPGA） is the hardware computing processor accelerating the computing capacity of coraputers. To efficiently manage the hardware free resources for the placing of tasks on FPGA and take full advantage of the partially reconfigurable units, good utilization of chip resources is an important and necessary work. In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the complete set of maximal free resource rectangles based on the cross point of edge lines of running tasks on FPGA area, and the prove process is provided to make sure the correctness of this method.
文摘Migratory birds likely evolved from residents as a consequence of intraspecific competition for limiting resources followed by dispersal of such individuals to novel sites that had previously not been occupied by migrant conspecifics(Alerstam and Hogstedt 1982).

文摘Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)emitter is a promising organic light-emitting diode(OLED)material due to low cost,wide luminous color gamut and 100%exciton utilization efficiency[1].To achieve high TADF performance,a feasible strategy is to construct a twisted donor–acceptor(D–A)unit,decreasing the overlap between the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO),and minimizing the energy gap(∆E_(ST))between the lowest singlet(S_(1))and triplet(T_(1))states[2,3].However,this long-range charge transfer feature is often disadvantageous for achieving high oscillator strengths(f)and radiative transition rates(k_(r))[4](Fig.1(a)).

文摘Iridium(Ⅲ)complexes with 2−phenylpyridine(ppy)have been demonstrated as a type of promising phosphorescence dopant in emitting layers of organic light emitting diodes(OLEDs).In most iridium(III)complexes,there exist the strong spin−orbit coupling betweenπ−orbitals of cyclometalated ligands and 5d orbitals of the centric iridium.We study a novel iridium(Ⅲ)complex(ppy)2Ir(4−TfmBTZ)with ppy as cyclometalated ligands and 2-(4-trifluoromethyl-2-hydroxylphenyl)benzothiazole(4-TfmBTZ)as an ancillary ligand using the Gaussian 03 program.The geometries,electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of this iridium(Ⅲ)complex are investigated by density functional theory(DFT)and time−dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT).The results show that the spin-orbit coupling occurs not only between ppy and iridium atom but also between 4-TfmBTZ and iridium atom in this complex.The highest occupied molecular orbital is dominantly localized on the Ir atom and 4-TfmBTZ ligand,while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital on 4-TfmBTZ ligand.The triplet lowest-lying transition is attributed to the Ir-to-4-TfmBTZ charge-transfer(3MLCT)transition while the sub−low-lying transitions are assigned to the 3MLCT transitions of Ir(ppy)2.The nature of the lowest unoccupied orbital changes from ppy−localized to 4-TfmBTZ-localized and reveals that phosphorescent color of Ir(Ⅲ)complex can be controlled by the ancillary ligand and substituent.

文摘The wolverine, Gulogulo, is an endangered species in China. This is the first report of the overall status of wolverines in China. The geographic distribution and population sizes of wolverines in the Greater Khingan and Altai Mountains were surveyed by line transect from1996–2000 and in 2011, respectively. We identified two geographically distinct groups in the Great Khingan Mountains, with a total population size of about 200 individuals throughout the region（approximately80,000 km^2）. Wolverines were also confirmed to be present in the Altai Mountains, where about 100 individuals occupied approximately 28,000 km^2 of mountain forest and tundra. Prey depletion and habitat loss, which are correlated with increasing human activities, are the main reasons for wolverine population declines in China.
文摘Why is a Professor in the Department of Crop Sciences such a dominant presence in the field of disinfection byproducts(DBPs)? I believe the answer to this question exemplifies the characteristics of impactful researchers. Most research fields rely on a set of core skills and tend to develop tunnel-vision with respect to research topics. These factors can be stultifying for the field, but present opportunities to those in other fields with the vision and fortitude to span research fields and fill unoccupied niches where their approach and skillset is needed and lacking.

文摘The electronic structures of small aluminum clusters,Al_(n)(n=5-24),are investigated by a localized-orbital theory based on the tight-binding approximation.Magic-numbered clusters each exhibit a HOMO-LUMO gap maximum,and simultaneously an s-p gap minimum,but not necessarily an ionization potential maximum,where HOMO-LUMO gap denotes the energy gap between the highest occupied orbital and the lowest unoccupied orbital of the cluster.Also revealed is an irregular odd-even alternation in HOMO-LUMO gaps for Al_(n)(n=7-24).Cluster geometry either contributes to or dominates these findings.
