In the proposed scheme, the original signal is first decomposed into eight sub-signals and then merged into three component signals by the same carrier pattern. The three signals have mathematical constraint relations among themselves that can counteract the channel fading. They are simultaneously transmitted via three independent antennas after delay regulating. At the receiver, an inverse 8-WFRFT module is employed to obtain the estimated original signal by processing the received signal. Then, the bit error rate(BER) performance, transmitting power, transmission rate, power spectrum and computational complexity of the proposed scheme are analysed in detail. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has a superior performance compared to STBC based three-antenna transmission scheme, in terms of BER performance.展开更多

The sliding body was divided into strips in a three-dimensional model, and the lateral earth pressure was put into mechanical analysis and the three-dimensional stability analysis methods applicable for circular sliding in concave slope were deduced. Based on geometric structure and the geological parameters of a concave slope, the influence rule of curvature radius and the top and bottom arch height on the concave slope stability were analyzed. The results show that the stability coefficient decreases after growth, first in the transition stage of slope shape from flat to concave, and it has been confirmed that there is a best size to make the slope stability factor reach a maximum. By contrast with average slope, the stability of a concave slope features a smaller range of ascension with slope height increase, which indicates that the enhancing effect of a concave slope is apparent only with lower slope heights.展开更多

A digital image processing method was used to calculate the local deformations and local stresses for any region on the surface of triaxial soil specimens. The principle and implementation of this digital image processing method were introduced as well as the calculation method for local mechanical properties of soil specimens. Comparisons were made between the test results calculated by the data from both the entire specimen and local regions, and it was found that the deformations were more uniform in the middle region compared with the entire specimen. In order to quantify the nonuniform characteristic of deformation, the non-uniformity coefficients of strain were defined and calculated. Traditional and end-lubricated triaxial tests were conducted under the same condition to investigate the effects of using local region data for deformation calculation on eliminating the end restraint of specimens. After the statistical analysis of all test results, it was concluded that for the tested soil specimen with the size of 39.1 mm × 80 ram, the utilization of the middle 35 mm region of traditional specimens in data processing had a better effect on eliminating end restraint compared with end lubrication. Furthermore, the local data analysis in this paper was validated through the comparisons with the test results from other researchers.展开更多

The procedure is based ...A rapid, precise, sensitive and simple method has been developed for the extraction and determination of TPT (triphenyltin), DPT (diphenyltin) and MPT (monophenyltin) in seawater samples. The procedure is based on the use of the dual functionalization of mesoporous silica with diol and Cl6 alkane groups for the collection of TPT and its derivatives, DPT and MPT, from seawater samples, followed by ethylation of the target matrices using sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt4) and quantification by gas chromatography with pulsed flame photometric detection. The modified extraction method replaces conventional solid- and liquid-phase extraction with solid dispersion of silica nanoparticles. The partitioning of the analyte between a carefully size-selected silica nanoparticles (solid phase) and a liquid phase occurs as the solid moves through the sample as a colloidal sol. By tailoring the size of the particles to approximately 250 nm in diameter, they can be easily dispersed in aqueous solution, without the need for any mechanical or hand shaking and the solid can then be readily recovered, together with the analytes, by simple filtration or centrifugation. Recoveries of TPT, DPT and MPT chloride spiked matrices rang from 87.3±1.1 to 98.1±1.3 in seawater samples (n = I 1 samples). The limit of detection obtained was typically in the range of 0.1-3 ng Sn/L. The proposed method shows excellent linearity in the range of 0.5-2 ng Sn/L and good repeatability (RSD 〈 5% at 0.02 ng TPT (as Sn)/L). The method performance is demonstrated with real seawater samples.展开更多

We generate the final spherical mapping by independently establishing two hemisphere parameterizations. The essence of the approach is to reduce spherical parameterization to a planar problem using symmetry analysis of 3D meshes. Experiments and comparisons were undertaken with various non-trivial 3D models, which revealed that our approach is efficient and robust. In particular, our method produces almost isometric parameterizations for the objects close to the sphere.展开更多
