This article attempts to reduce O & M cost by improving the utilization of the maintenance resources, specifically the efficient scheduling and routing of the maintenance fleet. Scheduling and routing of maintenance fleet is a non-linear optimization problem with high complexity and a number of constraints. A heuristic algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), was modified as Multi-ACO to be used to find the optimal scheduling and routing of maintenance fleet. The numerical studies showed that the proposed methodology was effective and robust enough to find the optimal solution even if the number of offshore wind turbine increases. The suggested approaches are helpful to avoid a time-consuming process of manually planning the scheduling and routing with a presumably suboptimal outcome.展开更多

The timeresolved x-ray emission spectra of titanium tracer are measured by a streaked crystal spectrometer. By comparing the simulated spectra obtained by using the FLYCHK code with the measured titanium spectra, the temporal plasma states, i.e.,the electron temperatures and densities, are deduced. To evaluate the feasibility of using the method for the characterization of Au plasma states, the deduced plasma states from the measured titanium spectra are compared with the Multi-1D hydrodynamic simulations of laser-produced Au plasmas. By comparing the measured and simulated results, an overall agreement for the electron temperatures is found, whereas there are deviations in the electron densities. The experiment–theory discrepancy may suggest that the plasma state could not be well reproduced by the Multi-1D hydrodynamic simulation, in which the radial gradient is not taken into account. Further investigations on the spectral characterization and hydrodynamic simulations of the plasma states are needed. All the measured and FLYCHK simulated spectra are given in this paper as datasets. The datasets are openly available at http://www.doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00032.展开更多

It is difficult to describe fluvial reservoirs in detail owing to their frequent changes and serious intersections, as well as limitations of S/N ratio and seismic data resolution. Based on the Laohekou 3D data in Shengli Oilfield, we analyze the general characteristics of fluvial reservoirs in this area, from which we find that they are characterized by strong amplitudes on seismic profiles, high continuity on time slices, and low frequency in the frequency domain. In addition, a cluster of strong string-bead- like reflections was found after color processing and detailed interpretation. To understand this observation, we conduct forward modeling to explain the mechanism. This provides a new way to identify ancient channels in similar areas. By using the multi-attribute fusion and RGB display techniques, channel incision is more obvious and the characteristics of the channel structures are manifested much better. Finally, we introduce and apply multi-wavelet detection technology to identify weaker fluvial reservoir signals.展开更多

On the basis of the deformation potential energy, the strain potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the circular plate, the Hamilton principle is used to induce the magnetoelastic coupling transverse vibration dynamical equation of the ferromagnetic circular plate. Based on the basic electromagnetic theory, the expressions of the magnet force and the Lorenz force of the circular plate are presented. A displacement function satisfying clamped-edge combined with the Galerkin method is used to derive the Duffing vibration differential equation of the circular plate. The amplitude-frequency response equations of the system under various combined resonance forms are obtained by means of the multi-scale method, and the stability of the steady-state solutions is analyzed according to the Lyapunov theory. Through examples, the amplitude-frequency characteristic curves with different parameters, the amplitude of resonance varying with magnetic field intensity and excitation force, and the time-course response diagram, phase diagram, Poincar′e diagram of the system vibration are plotted, respectively. The effects of different parameters on the amplitude and stability of the system are discussed. The results show that the electromagnetic parameters have a significant effect on the multi-valued attribute and stability of the resonance solutions, and the system may exhibit complex nonlinear dynamical behavior including multi-period and quasi-periodic motion.展开更多

How the number of subcarriers in- fluences the estimation accuracy is illustrated by considering the joint Cramer-Rao bound and the mean square error of the maxi- mum likelihood estimate. The non-coherent MIMO radar ambiguity function with multiple subcarriers is developed and investigated by changing the number of subcarriers, the pulse width and the frequency spacing between adjacent subcarriers. The numerical results show that more subcarriers mean more accurate estimates, higher localization resolution, and larger pulse width results in a worse performance of target location estimation, while the fre- quency spacing affects target location estimation little.展开更多

A simple MIMO-DCSK communication scheme based on orthogonal multi-codes (OMCs) and equal gain combination (EGC) is proposed, in which OMCs are used to spread the same information bit at each transmitting antenna and the infor- mation bit is detected by EGC at receiving antenna. The OMCs are constructed from one chaotic sequence by means of othogo- nal space-time block coding (OSTBC). The output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) after EGC is given based on central limit theory (CLT), and it can effectively exploit the spatial diversity of the underlying MIMO system. Simulation results show that the full spatial diversity gain is achieved without channel estimation in the MIMO-DCSK communication scheme and it performs better than MC-EGC for a large number of transmitting antennas.展开更多

A singlezone model and a multi-zone model were developed. The effects of catalytic combustion on the ignition timing of the HCCI engine were analyzed through the single-zone model. The results showed that the ignition timing of the HCCI engine was advanced by the catalysis. The effects of catalytic combustion on HC, CO and NOx emissions of the HCCI engine were analyzed through the multi-zone model. The results showed that the emissions of HC and CO (using platinum (Pt) as catalyst) were decreased, while the emissions of NOx were elevated by catalytic combustion. Compared with catalyst Pt, the HC emissions were lower with catalyst rhodium (Rh) on the piston surface, but the emissions of NOx and CO were higher.展开更多

At the same time, it becomes increasingly clear that single-target action drugs cannot effectively treat these diseases. Researchers are looking toward the chemical industry as well as traditional herbal medicines to find multi-target interventions. Thus, a new era in drug discovery has begun. Specifically, three approaches have proven effective in seeking multi-target drugs. These are: (1) designing drugs with multiple components; (2) discovering drugs through the study of synergistic compound-compound interactions in medicinal herbs or among chemical drugs and herbal components; and (3) developing drugs to tackle complex multi-component diseases. The authors conclude that there is an increasing need for multi-component remedies to treat the complex chronic diseases afflicting modern populations. Given this situation and the growing body of evidence that these new approaches are effective, multi-target intervention appears to have great potential for discovering, designing, and developing effective new drugs for today's diseases.展开更多

Cloud comput the face of the Internet service infrastructure, enabling even small organizations to quickly ng is rapidly changing build Web and mobile applications for millions of users by taking advantage of the scale and flexibility of shared physical infrastructures provided by cloud computing. In this scenario, multiple tenants save their data and applications in shared data centers, blurring the network boundaries between each tenant in the cloud. In addition, different tenants have different security requirements, while different security policies are necessary for different tenants. Network virtualization is used to meet a diverse set of tenant-specific requirements with the underlying physical network enabling multi-tenant datacenters to automatically address a large and diverse set of tenants requirements. In this paper, we propose the system implementation of vCNSMS, a collaborative network security prototype system used n a multi-tenant data center. We demonstrate vCNSMS with a centralized collaborative scheme and deep packet nspection with an open source UTM system. A security level based protection policy is proposed for simplifying the security rule management for vCNSMS. Different security levels have different packet inspection schemes and are enforced with different security plugins. A smart packet verdict scheme is also integrated into vCNSMS for ntelligence flow processing to protect from possible network attacks inside a data center network展开更多

This decomposition converges in both L^q(X1 × X2) (for 1 〈 q 〈 ∞) and Hardy space HP(X1× X2) (for 0 〈 p _〈 1). As an application, we prove that an operator T, which is bounded on Lq(X1× X2) for some 1 〈 q 〈 ∞, is bounded from H^p(X1 × X2) to L^p(X1 × X2) if and only if T is bounded uniformly on all (p, q)-product atoms in LP(X1 × X2). The similar boundedness criterion from HP(X1 × X2) to HP(X1 × X2) is also obtained.展开更多

For the circumstance of those ESs with relatively closer views, we present in this paper three methods of consistency treatment and a method for calcula- ting the maximal deviation of the confidence value about the cooperating group's common view based on the consistency degree of those different views. For the circumstance of those views being not very close to each other and also not very different from each other, we designed two synthesis functions for synthesizing multiple views. These two circumstances are formally defined in this paper. A comparison be- tween these two functions and the combining function in is also demonstrated. In the last section of this paper, we present a discussion about some further research topics of conflict-resolution in the group problem.展开更多

In this paper, we review popular regularization models such as truncated singular value decomposi- tion regularization, iterative regularization, variational regularizafion. Meanwhile, we also retrospect popular optimiza- tion approaches and regularization parameter choice meth- ods. In fact, the regularization problem is inherently a multi- objective problem. The traditional methods usually combine the fidelity term and the regularization term into a single- objective with regularization parameters, which are difficult to tune. Therefore, we propose a multi-objective framework for ill-posed problems, which can handle complex features of problem such as non-convexity, discontinuity. In this framework, the fidelity term and regularization term are optimized simultaneously to gain more insights into the ill-posed prob- lems. A case study on signal recovery shows the effectiveness of the multi-objective framework for ill-posed problems.展开更多

By splitting the direct current through conventional cascode topology, the constraint of stacking- MOS structure for supply voltage has been removed and based on forward-body-bias technology, the circuit can operate at 0.5 V supply voltage. Design details and RF characteristics have been investigated in this paper. To verify the investigation, a 0.5 V 5.4 GHz LNA has been fabricated through 0.18 μm CMOS technology and measured. Measured results show that it obtains 9.1 dB gain, 3 dB NF with 0.5 V voltage and 2.5 mW power dissipation. The measured IIP3 is -3.5 dBm. Compared with previously published cascode LNA, it achieves the lowest supply voltage and lowest power dissipation with competitive RF performances.展开更多

This decomposition converges in both L^q(X1 × X2) (for 1 〈 q 〈 ∞) and Hardy space HP(X1× X2) (for 0 〈 p _〈 1). As an application, we prove that an operator T, which is bounded on Lq(X1× X2) for some 1 〈 q 〈 ∞, is bounded from H^p(X1 × X2) to L^p(X1 × X2) if and only if T is bounded uniformly on all (p, q)-product atoms in LP(X1 × X2). The similar boundedness criterion from HP(X1 × X2) to HP(X1 × X2) is also obtained.

文摘In the so called “Group Problem” (we would like to term it “Group-Consulting Type Cooperation”), ESs of the same cooperating group may have different views towards the same problem, and the differences may sometimes be very great. For the circumstance of those ESs with relatively closer views, we present in this paper three methods of consistency treatment and a method for calcula- ting the maximal deviation of the confidence value about the cooperating group's common view based on the consistency degree of those different views. For the circumstance of those views being not very close to each other and also not very different from each other, we designed two synthesis functions for synthesizing multiple views. These two circumstances are formally defined in this paper. A comparison be- tween these two functions and the combining function in is also demonstrated. In the last section of this paper, we present a discussion about some further research topics of conflict-resolution in the group problem.
文摘Ill-posed problems are widely existed in signat processing. In this paper, we review popular regularization models such as truncated singular value decomposi- tion regularization, iterative regularization, variational regularizafion. Meanwhile, we also retrospect popular optimiza- tion approaches and regularization parameter choice meth- ods. In fact, the regularization problem is inherently a multi- objective problem. The traditional methods usually combine the fidelity term and the regularization term into a single- objective with regularization parameters, which are difficult to tune. Therefore, we propose a multi-objective framework for ill-posed problems, which can handle complex features of problem such as non-convexity, discontinuity. In this framework, the fidelity term and regularization term are optimized simultaneously to gain more insights into the ill-posed prob- lems. A case study on signal recovery shows the effectiveness of the multi-objective framework for ill-posed problems.

文摘This paper presents the design of 0.5 V multi-gigahertz cascode CMOS LNA for low power wireless communication. By splitting the direct current through conventional cascode topology, the constraint of stacking- MOS structure for supply voltage has been removed and based on forward-body-bias technology, the circuit can operate at 0.5 V supply voltage. Design details and RF characteristics have been investigated in this paper. To verify the investigation, a 0.5 V 5.4 GHz LNA has been fabricated through 0.18 μm CMOS technology and measured. Measured results show that it obtains 9.1 dB gain, 3 dB NF with 0.5 V voltage and 2.5 mW power dissipation. The measured IIP3 is -3.5 dBm. Compared with previously published cascode LNA, it achieves the lowest supply voltage and lowest power dissipation with competitive RF performances.
