文摘The accuracy of spot centroid positioning has a significant impact on the tracking accuracy of the system and the stability of the laser link construction.In satellite laser communication systems,the use of short-wave infrared wavelengths as beacon light can reduce atmospheric absorption and signal attenuation.However,there are strong non-uniformity and blind pixels in the short-wave infrared image,which makes the image distorted and leads to the decrease of spot centroid positioning accuracy.Therefore,the high-precision localization of the spot centroid of the short-wave infrared images is of great research significance.A high-precision spot centroid positioning model for short-wave infrared is proposed to correct for non-uniformity and blind pixels in short-wave infrared images and quantify the localization errors caused by the two,further model-based localization error simulations are performed,and a novel spot centroid positioning payload for satellite laser communications has been designed using the latest 640×512 planar array InGaAs shortwave infrared detector.The experimental results show that the non-uniformity of the corrected image is reduced from 7%to 0.6%,the blind pixels rejection rate reaches 100%,the frame rate can be up to 2000 Hz,and the spot centroid localization accuracy is as high as 0.1 pixel point,which realizes high-precision spot centroid localization of high-frame-frequency short-wave infrared images.
文摘Sunflower leaf photosynthesis strongly depends on the leaf position in the plant stem conditioning,which directly affects other physiological processes.Therefore,a study of the leaf’s physiological status regarding the leaf position in the stem was performed on sunflowers in the flowering stage.Eight differently positioned leaves were investigated,starting with the youngest leaf on the top of the stem to the leaves of the stem bottom,assigned as the oldest senescent leaves.According to chlorophyll fluorescence(ChlF)parameters connected to photosystem II(PSII)processes,significant changes in PSII functioning occurred only in the senescent leaves,while photosystem I(PSI)describing parameters showed a linear decrease with leaf age,i.e.,position on the stem.The antioxidative status of the leaves was dynamic,as stress indicators(lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide content)fluctuated regarding leaf position on the stem,but no link was found between the activities of antioxidative enzymes and oxidative stress indicators.Linear decrease trend of secondary metabolites(mainly phenolic compounds)correlated with antioxidant activity,except for some phenolic acids(caffeic and ferulic acid),which increased in senescent leaves.The most changes in the physiological status of the leaves were confirmed in senescent leaves,which stand out the importance of younger leaves in maintaining the plant’s vitality after flowering,which is the most important for sunflower yield.

文摘In this paper,we present a novel particle filter(PF)-based direct position tracking method utilizing multiple distributed observation stations.Traditional passive tracking methods are anchored on repetitive position estimation,where the set of consecutive estimates provides the tracking trajectory,such as Two-step and direct position determination methods.However,duplicate estimates can be computationally expensive.In addition,these techniques suffer from data association problems.The PF algorithm is a tracking method that avoids these drawbacks,but the conventional PF algorithm is unable to construct a likelihood function from the received signals of multiple observatories to determine the weights of particles.Therefore,we developed an improved PF algorithm with the likelihood function modified by the projection approximation subspace tracking with deflation(PASTd)algorithm.The proposed algorithm uses the projection subspace and spectral function to replace the likelihood function of PF.Then,the weights of particles are calculated jointly by multiple likelihood functions.Finally,the tracking problem of multiple targets is solved by multiple sets of particles.Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of computational complexity and tracking accuracy.

文摘The existing Low-Earth-Orbit(LEO)positioning performance cannot meet the requirements of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)clusters for high-precision real-time positioning in the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)denial conditions.Therefore,this paper proposes a UAV Clusters Information Geometry Fusion Positioning(UC-IGFP)method using pseudoranges from the LEO satellites.A novel graph model for linking and computing between the UAV clusters and LEO satellites was established.By utilizing probability to describe the positional states of UAVs and sensor errors,the distributed multivariate Probability Fusion Cooperative Positioning(PF-CP)algorithm is proposed to achieve high-precision cooperative positioning and integration of the cluster.Criteria to select the centroid of the cluster were set.A new Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for UAV clusters was designed based on the global benchmark and Riemann information geometry theory,which overcomes the discontinuity problem caused by the change of cluster centroids.Finally,the UC-IGFP method achieves the LEO continuous highprecision positioning of UAV clusters.The proposed method effectively addresses the positioning challenges caused by the strong direction of signal beams from LEO satellites and the insufficient constraint quantity of information sources at the edge nodes of the cluster.It significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of LEO-UAV cluster positioning.The results of comprehensive simulation experiments show that the proposed method has a 30.5%improvement in performance over the mainstream positioning methods,with a positioning error of 14.267 m.
文摘Forest ecosystems can be characterized by a set of catenas arranged along the slope in mountainous areas as these affect microhabitat features,which in turn influence soil properties.Heretofore,few studies have examined how topographic variables affect soil properties and quality in semiarid regions.This study aimed to provide important insights into how catena position and shape influence soil properties,soil quality,and their interrelationships in a semiarid protected oak forest in western Iran.Basic soil properties were measured in the laboratory.In addition,the soil quality index(SQI)was calculated at different topographic positions along both convex(Λ-shaped)and concave(V-shaped)catenas at two soil depths(0-15 and 15-30 cm).The findings indicated that soil organic carbon and total nitrogen declined in the lower depth in both V-andΛ-shaped catenas and at all catena positions.The lowest porosity was observed in the lower depth at toeslope positions(TS)of both catenas.Substrate-induced respiration(SIR),microbial biomass carbon(MBC),and basal respiration(BR)were higher in the upper depths at TS positions on V-shaped catenas than onΛ-shaped catenas.These biological indices were consistently higher in the upper depths than in the lower depths across all positions of both catenas.SQI had the highest values at TS positions on both catenas and in the upper depths across all positions.Pearson correlations between soil properties indicated that SQI was most strongly and positively correlated with biological properties in both catenas.The nutrient levels,microbial activity,and soil porosity in both catena shapes and at both soil depths displayed a relatively downward trend with increasing elevation from toeslope to summit positions.The results showed that catena topographic sequence shape and position affected most of the soil properties,providing evidence of the important role of topography in creating pedodiversity in oak forest ecosystems.

文摘Four benzocoumarin-based two-photon fluorescent probes(BH1-BH4)are proposed for ra-tiometric detection of hypochlorous acid(HClO)and their two-photon sensing perfor-mance are evaluated by means of time-dependent density func-tional theory and quadratic re-sponse theory.The effects of benzene-fused position on Stokes shift,fluorescence quantum yield and two-photon absorption are discussed comprehensively.The results show that fusing a benzene ring in coumarin can enhance Stokes shift efficiently.The benzene-fused position has important effects on these photophysical properties.The benzo[g]coumarins(BH1)and benzo[f]coumarins(BH2)derivatives have larger Stokes shifts in comparison with benzo[h]coumarins(BH3)and dihydrophenazine(BH4)derivatives.The two-photon absorp-tion of benzo[f]coumarins(BH2)derivative is much smaller than those of other benzo-coumarins derivatives.The large Stokes shift and increased two-photon action cross section can be achieved simultaneously in the dihydrophenazine(BH4)derivative.Therefore,the de-signed BH4 is expected to have superior performance for the ratiometric detection of HClO.To explore the reasons behind these effects,the intramolecular charge transfer degrees are il-lustrated quantitatively by plotting the hole-electron isosurface map,and the relation be-tween charge transfer and Stokes shift is revealed.A two-state model analysis is employed to understand two-photon absorption ability.Moreover,the fluorescence near-quenching mecha-nism of the product molecules B1 and B3 is explained by analyzing reorganization energy and Huang-Rhys factor,as well as related normal mode.Our research could contribute to the effi-cient design of ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probes with large Stokes shift and signifi-cant two-photon action cross section.

文摘Objectives A systematic review and network meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different childbirth positions in reducing the duration of the second stage of labor,providing evidence-based insights for obstetric institutions to guide interventions related to childbirth positions.Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases,including PubMed,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,Embase,Wanfang Databases,China National Knowledge Infrastructure Databases(CNKI),China Science and Technology Journal Database(CSTJ),and China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc)to identify studies on the effectiveness of different childbirth positions in reducing the duration of the second stage of labor.The search included randomized controlled trials published from database inception to September 30,2024.The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to assess the quality of the studies.Two independent reviewers screened the literature,extracted data,and evaluated study quality.Subsequently,a network meta-analysis was performed using STATA software.The study protocol has been registered in PROSPERO(CRD42023428217).Results This study analyzed data from 25 randomized controlled trials involving 9,844 women.The findings indicated that in comparison to lithotomy position,free position(MD=20.53,95%CI[11.38,29.68])and upright position(MD=−24.13,95%CI[−42.94,-5.32])were found to be superior in reducing the duration of the second stage of labor.Free position outperformed kneeling position(MD=21.48,95%CI[4.67,38.28])and squatting position(MD=23.43,95%CI[1.88,44.97]);upright position was superior to kneeling position(MD=−25.08,95%CI[−46.93,−3.22]);semirecumbent position surpassed squatting position(MD=19.71,95%CI[2.05,37.38]);and upright position was also superior to squatting position(MD=−27.03,95%CI[−51.48,−2.57]).According to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA),the upright position emerged as the most effective for reducing the duration of the second stage of labor(87.4%),followed by free position(81.1%),semirecumbent position(70.0%),and lateral position(62.3%).Conclusion These findings offer valuable insights for midwifery practice and help inform future research directions.Considering the limitations of this review,more larger-scale,multicenter randomized controlled trials are warranted to further evaluate the relative effectiveness of different childbirth positions in reducing the duration of the second stage of labor.

文摘Granite residual soil slope is often destroyed,which poses great threats to Rong County in southeastern Guangxi,China.Heavy rainfall and fissures are the major triggering and internal factors.The fissure that controls the slope stability and the associated failure mechanisms remain unclear.The purpose of this study was to identify the controlling fissures through field investigation,elucidate the effect of its position,and analyze the failure process and hydrological response of residual soil slope through artificial flume model tests.The results comprised five aspects.(1)Surface weathering and unloading fissures could affect slope stability.(2)The failure processes with different fissure positions exhibited inconsistent characteristics.(3)The volume moisture content(VMC)had the most direct response at the fissure tip.The corresponding infiltration rate was the highest.The response time of pore water pressure(PWP)was longer than that of VMC.Fluctuations in PWP were associated with VMC and changes in the soil microstructure due to local deformation.(4)Slope failure was accompanied by serious soil erosion.This could be attributed to the infiltration direction and the interaction between soil and water.(5)Fissured soil slopes experienced five similar failure processes:sheet erosion and partial failure of the slope foot,occurrence of preferential flow and enlargement of the sliding area,creep deformation and tension fissure emergence,block sliding and gully erosion,and flow-slip.

文摘The intensified kernel position effect is a common phenomenon in maize production under higher plant density,which limits crop productivity.Subsoiling is an effective agronomic practice for improving crop productivity.To clarify the effect of subsoiling before winter wheat on the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize and its regulatory mechanism,field experiments were conducted during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 growing seasons using a split-plot design.The main plots included two tillage practices:conventional tillage practice(CT)and subsoiling before the sowing of winter wheat(SS);and the subplots consisted of three plant densities(D1-D3 at 6.0×10~4,7.5×10~4,and 9.0×10~4 plants ha-1).Compared with CT,SS alleviated the kernel position effect by increasing the weight ratio of inferior to superior kernels(WR)in the D2 and D3 treated plants.The higher WR of SS treated plants contributed largely to the improved flling of inferior kernels.Under the same plant density,SS signifcantly improved the root dry matter accumulation(DMA)and antioxidant enzyme activities(superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)),and it reduced the malondialdehyde(MDA)content,especially for the plants grown under higher plant densities.These results indicated that SS delayed the root senescence,which is associated with the reduced soil bulk density.In addition,compared with CT,SS increased the leaf chlorophyll content from 20 days after silking to physiological maturity and the post-silking leaf area duration,and it reduced the post-silking leaf chlorophyll reduction rate and leaf area reduction rate,indicating that the post-silking leaf senescence had been alleviated.Under the same plant density,the post-silking DMA of SS was obviously higher than that of CT,which was probably related to the improved leaf area duration and photosynthetic enzyme activities(phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(PEPC)and Rubisco).The correlation analysis revealed that the main mechanism of SS in alleviating the kernel position effect of densely grown summer maize is as follows:SS delays the post-silking root-shoot senescence by regulating soil physical properties,and further improves the post-silking DMA and flling of inferior kernels,which ultimately alleviates the kernel position effect and improves grain yield.The results of this study provide new theoretical support for the promotion of summer maize yield by subsoiling before winter wheat.

文摘In this paper,a novel train positioning method considering satellite raw observation data was proposed,which aims to promote train positioning performance from an innovative perspective of the train satellite-based positioning error sources.The method focused on overcoming the abnormal observations in satellite observation data caused by railway environment rather than the positioning results.Specifically,the relative positioning experimental platform was built and the zero-baseline method was firstly employed to evaluate the carrier phase data quality,and then,GNSS combined observation models were adopted to construct the detection values,which were applied to judge abnormal-data through the dual-frequency observations.Further,ambiguity fixing optimization was investigated based on observation data selection in partly-blocked environments.The results show that the proposed method can effectively detect and address abnormal observations and improve positioning stability.Cycle slips and gross errors can be detected and identified based on dual-frequency global navigation satellite system data.After adopting the data selection strategy,the ambiguity fixing percentage was improved by 29.2%,and the standard deviation in the East,North,and Up components was enhanced by 12.7%,7.4%,and 12.5%,respectively.The proposed method can provide references for train positioning performance optimization in railway environments from the perspective of positioning error sources.

文摘Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)-based continuous and accurate train positioning is one of the key technologies for advanced train operations such as train virtual coupling.However,GNSS-based train positioning faces significant challenges in real-world scenarios due to environmental complexities and signal interferences.Considering this issue,this paper presents an approach for modeling and performance analysis of GNSS-based train positioning systems using Colored Petri Nets(CPNs).By systematically modeling the GNSS signal reception and processing process,the performance of the positioning system under various environment scenarios is evaluated.The system model integrates three types of interference signals(i.e.,Amplitude Modulation(AM)signals,Frequency Modulation(FM)signals,and pulse signals)while incorporating environmental factors such as terrain obstructions and tunnel shielding.Additionally,the Extended Kalman Filter(EKF)algorithm is employed to process GNSS observation data,providing accurate train position estimations.The simulation results demonstrate that signal interferences and complex environmental conditions significantly affect the GNSS-based positioning accuracy.This study offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating the performance of GNSS-based train positioning systems in different scenarios,highlighting critical factors that influence positioning accuracy and stability.

文摘Null compensation interferometry is the primary testing method for the manufacture of ultra-high-precision aspheric mirrors.The crosstalk fringes generated by stray light in interferometry can affect accuracy and potentially prevent the testing from proceeding normally.Position errors include the decenter error,tilt error,and distance error.During the testing process,position errors will impact the testing accuracy and the crosstalk fringes generated by stray light.To determine the specific impact of position errors,we use the concept of Hindle shell testing of a convex aspheric mirror,and propose the simulation method of crosstalk fringes in null compensation interferometry.We also propose evaluation indices of crosstalk fringes in interferometry and simulate the influence of position errors on the crosstalk fringes.This work aims to help improve the design of compensation interferometry schemes,enhance the feasibility of the design,reduce engineering risks,and improve efficiency.

文摘For the traditional methods of rotor position estimation for permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM),the phase shift caused by the introduction of filter will affect the accuracy of rotor position estimation to some extent.This paper presents an improved rotor position estimation method for high frequency square wave signal injection without filter.Firstly,the traditional method injects high-frequency pulse vibration signals into the estimated shafting,and the proposed method injects high-frequency square wave signals into the estimated shafting to avoid the introduction of filters in the process of extracting rotor position information.Then,the rotor position signal is decoupled in the stationary shafting,and the rotor position error after demodulation is processed by PLL.The system realized the signal processing of rotor position without filter,which improved the convergence speed and estimation precision of rotor position and the dynamic response performance of the system.The simulation results showed that the proposed method had fast convergence speed and small phase delay,and better improved the precision of rotor position detection.

文摘The heavy-ion accelerator facility(HIAF)under construction in China will produce various stable and intense radioactive beams with energies ranging from MeV/u to GeV/u.The ion-linac(iLinac)accelerator,which will serve as the injector for the HIAF,is a superconducting heavy-ion accelerator containing 13 cryomodules.It will operate in either continuous wave mode or pulsed mode,with a beam current ranging from 0.01 to 1 emA.The beam position monitor(BPM)is crucial for this high-beam-power machine,which requires precise beam control and a very small beam loss of less than 1 W/m,especially inside the cryomodules of this unique beam instrument.Nearly 70 BPMs will be installed on the iLinac.New digital beam position and phase measurement(DBPPM)electronics based on a heterogeneous multiprocessing platform system-on-chip(MPSoC)has been developed to provide accurate beam trajectory and phase measurements as well as beam interlocking signals for a fast machine protection system(MPS).The DBPPM comprises an analog front-end(AFE)board in field programmable gate array(FPGA)mezzanine-connector(FMC)form factor,along with a digital signal processing board housed within a “2U 19”chassis.To mitigate radio frequency(RF)leakage effects from high-power RF systems in certain scenarios,beam signals undergo simultaneous processing at both fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies.A dynamic range from-65 dBm to 0 dBm was established to accommodate both weak beam commissioning and high-intensity operational demands.Laboratory tests demonstrated that at input power levels exceeding-45 d Bm,the phase resolution surpasses 0.05°,and the position resolution exceeds 5μm.These results align well with the stipulated measurement requirements.Moreover,the newly developed DBPPM has self-testing and self-calibration functions that are highly helpful for the systematic evaluation of numerous electronic components and fault diagnosis equipment.In addition,the DBPPM electronics implements a 2D nonlinear polynomial correction on the FPGA and can collect accurate real-time position measurements at large beam offsets.This newly developed DBPPM electronics has been applied to several Linac machines,and the results from beam measurements show high performance,good long-term stability,and high reliability.In this paper,a detailed overview of the architecture,performance,and proof-of-principle measurement of the beams is presented.

文摘Lunar Laser Ranging has extremely high requirements for the pointing accuracy of the telescopes used.To improve its pointing accuracy and solve the problem of insufficiently accurate telescope pointing correction achieved by tracking stars in the all-sky region,we propose a processing scheme to select larger-sized lunar craters near the Lunar Corner Cube Retroreflector as reference features for telescope pointing bias computation.Accurately determining the position of the craters in the images is crucial for calculating the pointing bias;therefore,we propose a method for accurately calculating the crater position based on lunar surface feature matching.This method uses matched feature points obtained from image feature matching,using a deep learning method to solve the image transformation matrix.The known position of a crater in a reference image is mapped using this matrix to calculate the crater position in the target image.We validate this method using craters near the Lunar Corner Cube Retroreflectors of Apollo 15 and Luna 17 and find that the calculated position of a crater on the target image falls on the center of the crater,even for image features with large distortion near the lunar limb.The maximum image matching error is approximately 1″,and the minimum is only 0.47″,which meets the pointing requirements of Lunar Laser Ranging.This method provides a new technical means for the high-precision pointing bias calculation of the Lunar Laser Ranging system.
文摘In the context of security systems,adequate signal coverage is paramount for the communication between security personnel and the accurate positioning of personnel.Most studies focus on optimizing base station deployment under the assumption of static obstacles,aiming to maximize the perception coverage of wireless RF(Radio Frequency)signals and reduce positioning blind spots.However,in practical security systems,obstacles are subject to change,necessitating the consideration of base station deployment in dynamic environments.Nevertheless,research in this area still needs to be conducted.This paper proposes a Dynamic Indoor Environment Beacon Deployment Algorithm(DIE-BDA)to address this problem.This algorithm considers the dynamic alterations in obstacle locations within the designated area.It determines the requisite number of base stations,the requisite time,and the area’s practical and overall signal coverage rates.The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can calculate the deployment strategy in 0.12 s following a change in obstacle positions.Experimental results show that the algorithm in this paper requires 0.12 s to compute the deployment strategy after the positions of obstacles change.With 13 base stations,it achieves an effective coverage rate of 93.5%and an overall coverage rate of 97.75%.The algorithm can rapidly compute a revised deployment strategy in response to changes in obstacle positions within security systems,thereby ensuring the efficacy of signal coverage.
