The previous AZBs detection algorithms are reviewed. Three types of transformed frequency-domain coefficients, which are quantized to zeros, are analyzed. Based on the three types of frequencydomain scaling factors, the corresponding spatial coefficients are derived. Then the Schwarz inequality is applied to the derivation of the three thresholds based on spatial coefficients. Another threshold is set on the basis of the probability distribution of zero coefficients in a block. As a result, an adaptive AZBs detection algorithm is proposed based on the minimum of the former three thresholds and the threshold of zero blocks distribution. The simulation results show that, compared with the existing AZBs detection algorithms, the proposed algorithm achieves a 5% higher detection ratio in AZBs and 4% to 10% computation saving with only 0. 1 dB video quality degradation.展开更多

The device fabrication processes and characteristics are simulated with Tsuprem 4 and Medici. The back-gate n-well is formed by implantation of phosphorus at a dosage of 3 × 10^13 cm^-2 and an energy of 250keV and connected directly to a front-gate n^+ polysilicon. This method is completely compatible with the conventional bulk silicon process. Simulation results show that a DGDT FDSOI nMOSFET not only retains the advantages of a conventional FDSOI nMOSFET over a partially depleted (PD) SOI nMOSFET--that is the avoidance of anomalous subthreshold slope and kink effects but also shows a better drivability than a conventional FDSOI nMOSFET.展开更多

The two-dimensional potential distribution function in the silicon thin film based on an approximate parabolic function has been applied to solve the two-dimensional Poisson's equation with suitable boundary conditions. The minimum of the surface potential is used to deduce the threshold voltage model. The model reveals the variations of potential distribution and threshold voltage with temperature, taking into account short-channel effects. Furthermore, the model is verified by the SILVACO ATLAS simulation. The calculations and the simulation agree well.展开更多
This study investigates the projected changes in the East Asian westerly jet(EAJ)under six global warming targets(1.5℃,2.0℃,2.5℃,3.0℃,3.5℃,and 4.0℃)relative to the present climate,using the outputs of CMIP5 mode...This study investigates the projected changes in the East Asian westerly jet(EAJ)under six global warming targets(1.5℃,2.0℃,2.5℃,3.0℃,3.5℃,and 4.0℃)relative to the present climate,using the outputs of CMIP5 models.The results show that the westerly tends to weaken slightly under the 1.5℃warming target.Under the 2.0℃target,it is projected to intensify south of the EAJ’s axis(approximately 40°N)and decay north of the axis.This change becomes increasingly evident under the 2.5℃and higher warming targets,which suggests that the EAJ’s axis will move farther and farther southward,but its intensity will change little with increasing global warming.Further analyses suggest that the change in the EAJ is closely related to the inhomogeneous rising rate of air temperature in the mid–upper troposphere.The relatively slow-rising air temperature in the mid–upper troposphere over the EAJ’s entrance and exit regions will lead to a negative(positive)meridional temperature gradient to the south(north),and will then accelerate(decelerate)the westerly on the EAJ’s south/north side.展开更多

Many studies have focused on the projected changes in the WNPSH, but little is known about the changes under different global warming targets, such as 1.5℃ and 2.0℃. This study investigates the changes in the WNPSH under six global warming targets(1.5℃, 2.0℃, 2.5℃,3.0℃, 3.5℃, and 4.0℃) in both the mid-and lower troposphere, using the outputs of CMIP5 model in historical simulations and under Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5. The projected changes in the WNPSH, which is measured by multiple variables, show that it changes little under the 1.5℃ target in the mid-troposphere, but weakens and retreats approximately 2.5° in longitude under the 2.0℃ target. It tends to linearly weaken with warming greater than 2.5℃ and shifts eastward by approximately 6.0° in longitude by the 4.0℃ target. Meanwhile, the WNPSH intensifies and extends westward under the 1.5℃ target in the lower troposphere, but changes little with warming rising from 1.5℃ to 2.0℃. It is projected to extend westward by approximately2.0° in longitude by the 4.0℃ target.展开更多

It is well known but NP-hard in general. We first show that under some cases, SMC problem and S1/2relaxation model share a unique solution. Then we prove that the global optimal solutions of S1/2regularization model are fixed points of a symmetric matrix half thresholding operator. We give an iterative scheme for solving S1/2regularization model and state convergence analysis of the iterative sequence.Through the optimal regularization parameter setting together with truncation techniques, we develop an HTE algorithm for S1/2regularization model, and numerical experiments confirm the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

This model combines with n classes of uninfected tar- get cells, n classes of infected cells and nonlinear incidence rate h(x,v). Two kinds of distributed time delays are incorporated into the model to describe the time needed for infection of uninfected target cells and virus replication. Under certain conditions, it is shown that the basic reproduction number is a threshold parameter for the existence of the equilibria, uniform persistence, as well as for global stability of the equilibria of the model.展开更多

文摘In this paper, the sharp threshold properties of a (2n + 1)-dimensional delayed viral infection model are investigated. This model combines with n classes of uninfected tar- get cells, n classes of infected cells and nonlinear incidence rate h(x,v). Two kinds of distributed time delays are incorporated into the model to describe the time needed for infection of uninfected target cells and virus replication. Under certain conditions, it is shown that the basic reproduction number is a threshold parameter for the existence of the equilibria, uniform persistence, as well as for global stability of the equilibria of the model.
