Based on careful analysis of the regularity of surface subsidence in mined-out area, we proposed a new time function based on Harris curve model in consideration of the shortage of current surface subsidence time functions. By analyzing the characteristics of the new time function, we found that it could meet the dynamic process, the velocity change process and the acceleration change process during surface subsidence. Then its rationality had been verified through project cases. The results show that the proposed time function model can give a good reflection of the regularity of surface subsidence in mined-out area and can accurately predict surface subsidence. And the prediction data of the model are a little greater than measured data on condition of proper measured data quantity, which is safety in the engineering. This model provides a new method for the analysis of surface subsidence in mined-out area and reference for future prediction, and it is valuable to engineering application.展开更多

The AIN and GaN layers are grown on a Si (111) substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy are used for analysis. Consequently, we find significant differences in the epitaxial properties of AlN buffer and the GaN layer, which are dependent on the AI preflow time. A1 preflow layers act as nucleation sites in the case of AiN growth. Compact and uniform AIN nucleation sites are observed with optimizing A1 preflow at an early nucleation stage, which will lead to a smooth AIN surface. Trenches and AlN grain clusters appear on the AIN surface while meltoback etching occurs on the GaN surface with excessive A1 preflow. The GaN quality variation keeps a similar trend with the AIN quality, which is influenced by AI preflow. With an optimized duration orAl preflow, crystal quality and surface morphology of AIN and GaN could be improved.展开更多

In this work based on Lyapunov stability theory a sliding mode controller with time-varying switching surfaces is proposed to achieve chaos synchronization at a pre-specified time for the first time. The proposed controller is able to synchronize chaotic systems precisely at any time when we want. Moreover, by choosing the time-varying switching surfaces in a way that the reaching phase is eliminated, the synchronization becomes robust to uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method of stabilizing and synchronizing chaotic systems with complete robustness to uncertainty and disturbances exactly at a pre-specified time.展开更多

It has been in operation since November 1, 2007. In this paper we comprehensively present the simulation and verification of the system, whose distinguishing feature is that the wave-induced mixing is coupled in the circulation model. In particular, with nested technique the resolution in the China's seas has been updated to(1/24)° from the global model with(1/2)°resolution. Besides, daily remote sensing sea surface temperature(SST) data have been assimilated into the model to generate a hot restart field for OCFS-C. Moreover, inter-comparisons between forecasting and independent observational data are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of OCFS-C in upper-ocean quantities predictions, including SST, mixed layer depth(MLD) and subsurface temperature. Except in conventional statistical metrics, non-dimensional skill scores(SS) is also used to evaluate forecast skill. Observations from buoys and Argo profiles are used for lead time and real time validations, which give a large SS value(more than 0.90). Besides, prediction skill for the seasonal variation of SST is confirmed. Comparisons of subsurface temperatures with Argo profiles data indicate that OCFS-C has low skill in predicting subsurface temperatures between 100 m and 150 m. Nevertheless, inter-comparisons of MLD reveal that the MLD from model is shallower than that from Argo profiles by about 12 m, i.e., OCFS-C is successful and steady in MLD predictions. Validation of 1-d, 2-d and 3-d forecasting SST shows that our operational ocean circulation-surface wave coupled forecasting model has reasonable accuracy in the upper ocean.展开更多

The FDTD method takes the piezoelectric effect of PCs into account, in which periodic boundary conditions are used to decrease memory/time consumption and the perfectly matched layer boundary conditions are adopted as the SAW absorbers to attenuate artificial reflections. Two SAW delay lines are established with/without piezoelectric PCs located between interdigital transducers. By removing several echoes with window gating function in time domain, delay lines transmission function is achieved. The PCs' transmission functions and band gaps are obtained by comparing them in these two delay lines. When Aluminum/128°YX-LiNbO3 is adopted as scatter and substrate material, the PCs' band gap is calculated by this FDTD method and COMSOL respectively. Results show that computational results of FDTD agree well with experimental results and are better than that of COMSOL.展开更多

On the basis of CLARA-A1-SAL data, the albedo variations are examined in space and time in the winter(December, January and February) from 1992 to 2008 in the Bohai Sea sea ice region. Time series data of the sea ice concentration(SIC), the sea ice extent(SIE) and the sea surface temperature(SST) are used to analyze their relationship with the albedo. The sea ice albedo changed in volatility appears along with time, the trend is not obvious and increases very slightly during the study period at a rate of 0.388% per decade over the Bohai Sea sea ice region.The interannual variation is between 9.93% and 14.50%, and the average albedo is 11.79%. The sea ice albedo in years with heavy sea ice coverage, 1999, 2000 and 2005, is significantly higher than that in other years; in years with light sea ice coverage, 1994, 1998, 2001 and 2006, has low values. For the monthly albedo, the increasing trend(at a rate of 0.988% per decade) in December is distinctly higher than that in January and February. The mean albedo in January(12.90%) is also distinctly higher than that in the other two months. The albedo is significantly positively correlated with the SIC and is significantly negatively correlated with the SST(significance level 90%).展开更多

Combining the empirical mode decomposition(EMD)and time delay estimation method based on generalized average magnitude difference function,the original signals are decomposed into intrinsic mode function(IMF) components. The energy distribution criterion and spectrum consistency criterion are used to select the IMFs, which can represent the physical characteristics of the source signal. Several sets of signals are applied to estimate the time delay, and then a vector matching criterion is proposed to select the correct time delay estimation. Considering the hydrophones location, a shell model is established and projected to a plane according to the quadrant before the hyperbolic localization. Results of mooring and sailing tests show that the proposed method improves the localization accuracy,and reduces the error caused by time delay estimation.展开更多

They are complete local waves (including primary wave, shear wave and Rayleigh waves) and epicentral infrasonic wavs caused by an earthquake in Japan. They have periods of 12 s, 12 s, 30 s, amplitudes of 0.8 Pa, 0.4 Pa, 1.3 Pa,and durations of 3.4 min, 1 min, 12 min respectively. The period of epicentral infrasonic wave is 137 s, with makimum amplitude of 6.9 Pa and duration of 28 min. They are superimposed on a much longer and more usual series of waves of period about 12 min and amplitude of 10 Pa;such waves, which are of natural origin, are characteristically received during meteorological lnvers1ons.展开更多

Gaussian analysis shows that the red shift is due to increase of the relative magnitudes of the Gaussian combination in the low energy region. Temporal evolution of the dominant emissions exhibited a similar double-exponential decay process, in which the respective two distinct decay durations of 189 ps at the corresponding amplitude of 82% and 2081 ps at 18% were identified. Speculation based on the surfacestate emission due to the large surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale materials is used to explain the phenomena.展开更多

文摘Two hundred and eighteen serum samples from 175 lung cancer patients and 43 healthy individuals were analyzed by using Surface Enhaced Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrome-try(SELDI-TOF-MS).The data analyzed by both Biomarker Wizard?and Biomarker Patterns?software showed that a protein peak with the molecular weight of 11.6 kDa significantly increased in lung cancer.Meanwhile,the level of this biomarker was progressively increased with the clinical stages of lung cancer.The candidate biomarker was then obtained from tricine one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sul-fate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis by matching the molecular weight with peaks on WCX2 chips and was identified as Serum Amyloid A protein(SAA)by MALDI/MS-MS and database searching.It was further validated in the same serum samples by immunoprecipitation with commercial SAA antibody.To confirm the SAA differential expression in lung cancer patients,the same set of serum samples was measured by ELISA assay.The result showed that at the cutoff point 0.446(OD value)on the Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curve,SAA could better discriminate lung cancer from healthy indi-viduals with sensitivity of 84.1%and specificity of 80%.These findings demonstrated that SAA could be characterized as a biomarker related to pathological stages of lung cancer.
文摘An analytical model is used to predict the effects of surface recombination current on the gain and transit time of GalnP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors(HBTs).The present analysis shows that consideration of the recombination current gives current gain values that are comparable to those of the experimental results.The dependence of current gain on temperature,base doping and emitter area are also analyzed,and the variation in collector current with emitter-base voltage,temperature and doping is considered.
文摘The remarkable infrasonic wave trains have been recorded at Beijing Infrasound Observatory at 21:21 BT (Beijing Time), July 12, 1993. They are complete local waves (including primary wave, shear wave and Rayleigh waves) and epicentral infrasonic wavs caused by an earthquake in Japan. They have periods of 12 s, 12 s, 30 s, amplitudes of 0.8 Pa, 0.4 Pa, 1.3 Pa,and durations of 3.4 min, 1 min, 12 min respectively. The period of epicentral infrasonic wave is 137 s, with makimum amplitude of 6.9 Pa and duration of 28 min. They are superimposed on a much longer and more usual series of waves of period about 12 min and amplitude of 10 Pa;such waves, which are of natural origin, are characteristically received during meteorological lnvers1ons.

文摘Time-integrated photoluminescence (PL) spectra between 1.2 and 2.25 eV of ZnO nanoparticles were observed at ambient temperatures when they were excited by a picosecond (ps) laser pulse at a low photon energy of 2.33 eV/532 rim, to show clear red shift when the excitation intensiW increased. Gaussian analysis shows that the red shift is due to increase of the relative magnitudes of the Gaussian combination in the low energy region. Temporal evolution of the dominant emissions exhibited a similar double-exponential decay process, in which the respective two distinct decay durations of 189 ps at the corresponding amplitude of 82% and 2081 ps at 18% were identified. Speculation based on the surfacestate emission due to the large surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale materials is used to explain the phenomena.
