Based on the Technical Code for Building Slope Engineering（GB 50330-2013） of China and the Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California（SP117）, a comparative study on the pseudo-static method was performed. The results indicate that the largest difference between these two design codes lies in determination of the seismic equivalence reduction factor( f;). The GB 50330-2013 code specifies a single value for f;of 0.25. In SP117, numerous factors,such as magnitude and distance, are considered in determining f;. Two case studies show that the types of slope stability status evaluated by SP117 are in agreement with those evaluated by the seismic time-history stability analysis and Newmark displacement analysis. The factors of safety evaluated by SP117 can be used in practice for safe design. However, the factors of safety evaluated by GB 50330-2013 are risky for slope seismic design.展开更多

文摘Many researchers have developed new calculation methods to analyze seismic slope stability problems, but the conventional pseudo-static method is still widely used in engineering design due to its simplicity. Based on the Technical Code for Building Slope Engineering（GB 50330-2013） of China and the Guidelines for Evaluating and Mitigating Seismic Hazards in California（SP117）, a comparative study on the pseudo-static method was performed. The results indicate that the largest difference between these two design codes lies in determination of the seismic equivalence reduction factor( f;). The GB 50330-2013 code specifies a single value for f;of 0.25. In SP117, numerous factors,such as magnitude and distance, are considered in determining f;. Two case studies show that the types of slope stability status evaluated by SP117 are in agreement with those evaluated by the seismic time-history stability analysis and Newmark displacement analysis. The factors of safety evaluated by SP117 can be used in practice for safe design. However, the factors of safety evaluated by GB 50330-2013 are risky for slope seismic design.

文摘(Aim)COVID-19 is an ongoing infectious disease.It has caused more than 107.45 m confirmed cases and 2.35 m deaths till 11/Feb/2021.Traditional computer vision methods have achieved promising results on the automatic smart diagnosis.(Method)This study aims to propose a novel deep learning method that can obtain better performance.We use the pseudo-Zernike moment(PZM),derived from Zernike moment,as the extracted features.Two settings are introducing:(i)image plane over unit circle;and(ii)image plane inside the unit circle.Afterward,we use a deep-stacked sparse autoencoder(DSSAE)as the classifier.Besides,multiple-way data augmentation is chosen to overcome overfitting.The multiple-way data augmentation is based on Gaussian noise,salt-and-pepper noise,speckle noise,horizontal and vertical shear,rotation,Gamma correction,random translation and scaling.(Results)10 runs of 10-fold cross validation shows that our PZM-DSSAE method achieves a sensitivity of 92.06%±1.54%,a specificity of 92.56%±1.06%,a precision of 92.53%±1.03%,and an accuracy of 92.31%±1.08%.Its F1 score,MCC,and FMI arrive at 92.29%±1.10%,84.64%±2.15%,and 92.29%±1.10%,respectively.The AUC of our model is 0.9576.(Conclusion)We demonstrate“image plane over unit circle”can get better results than“image plane inside a unit circle.”Besides,this proposed PZM-DSSAE model is better than eight state-of-the-art approaches.

文摘Introduces in brief the principle of three kinds pseudo-random code fuzes, viz. the pseudo-random code phase modulation fuze,the pseudo-random code phase modulation and pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) combined fuze,and the pseudo-random code phase modulation and random(pseudo-random) pulse position modulation(PPM) combined fuze. On this basis, their SNR gains in signal processing after band pass filter to the correlation detection, and the overall SNR gains of the whole procedure after correlation detection are deduced in detail. The results show that the latter two kinds of fuzes have the same performances concerning antinoise that are stronger than that of the pseudo-random code phase modulation fuze.
文摘The frequency bands used in mobile communications are allocated according to the type of application.With the need for more channels,the frequency spectrum has become a scarce natural resource.This study shows the results of a proposed modulation using a variation of the autocorrelation of pseudo-random codes to carry information.The work also presents the generation of multiple orthogonal axes to increase the bit rate thus improving the channel efficiency.

文摘A modiΡed pseudo-noise(PN)code regeneration method is proposed to improve the clock tracking accuracy without impairing the code acquisition time performance.Thus,the method can meet the requirement of high accuracy ranging measurements in short time periods demanded by radio-science missions.The tracking error variance is derived by linear analysis.For some existing PN codes,which can be acquired rapidly,the tracking error variance performance of the proposed method is about 2.6 dB better than that of the JPL scheme(originally proposed by Jet Propulsion Laboratory),and about 1.5 dB better than that of the traditional double loop scheme.

文摘In this paper,potent index of an element and pseudo clean rings are considered.Some properties and examples of pseudo clean rings are given.We also show that Zm is pseudo clean for every 2≤m∈Z and pseudo clean rings are clean.Furthermore,we prove pseudo clean rings are directly finite and have stable range one.
