Non-uniform T-type matching networks are adopted to make the impedance of artificial transmission lines connected to the gate and drain change stage by stage gradually, which provides good impedance matching and improves the output power and efficiency. The measurement results show that the amplifier gives an average forward gain of 6 dB from 3 to 16. 5 GHz. In the desired band, the input return loss is typically less than - 9. 5 dB, and the output return loss is better than -8.5 dB. The output power at 1-dB gain compression point is from 3.6 to 10. 6 dBm in the band of 2 to 16 GHz while the power added efficiency (PAE) is from 2% to 12. 5% . The power consumption of the amplifier is 81 mW with a supply of 1.8 V, and the chip area is 0.91 mm × 0.45 mm.展开更多

The proposed algorithm puts the random search strategy of the SAA into the PA, which can prevent optimizing courses from trapping in local optima. The SAA-PA can effectively solve multimodal optimization in the distributed multi-pump Raman amplifier (DMRA). Optimal results show that, under the conditions of the on-off gain of 10 dB, the gain bandwidth of larger than 80 nm and the fiber length of 80 km, the gain ripple of less than 1.25 dB can be designed from the DMRA with only four backward pumps after the optimization of the proposed SAA-PA. Compared with the pure SAA, the SAA-PA can attain a lower gain ripple with the same number of pumps. Also, the relationship between the optimal signal bandwidth and the number of pumps can be simulated numerically with the SAA-PA.展开更多

The ...Dynamical patterns of mineral elements during decomposition processes were investigated for seven common canopy species in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest by means of litterbag technique over 2 years. The species studied are representative for the vegetation in the study area and differed significantly in chemical qualities of their litter. No significant relationships were found between decomposition rate (percentage dry mass remaining and decomposition constant k) and initial element cuncentrations.However, there were significant correlations betweeu the percentage of dry mass remaining and the mineral element concentrations in the remaining litter for most cases. The rank of the element mobility in decomposition process was as follows: Na = K 〉 Mg ≥ Ca 〉 N ≥ Mn ≥ Zn ≥ P 〉 Cu 〉〉 Al 〉〉 Fe. Concentrations of K and Na decreased in all species as decomposition proceeded. Calcium and Mg also decreased in concentrntion but with a temporal increase in the initial phase of decomposition, while the concentrations of other elements (Zn, Cu, AL and Fei increased for all species with exception of Mn which revealed a different pattern in different species. In most species, microelements (Cu, Al, and Fe) significantly increased in absolute amounts at the end of the litterbag incubation, which could be ascribed to a lange extent to the mechanism of abiotic fixation to humic substances rather than biological immobilization.展开更多

Falling satellite manufacturing and launch costs have opened the door to new players to enter the market, disrupting the status quo. HTS and constellations have entered the market and will lead to a lot more capacity at a lower price. But how this capacity will be optimally distributed remains a significant challenge. Earth Observation(EO) and Big Data are also areas of interest that are gaining grounds thanks to projects of 100 s if not 1,000 s of satellites that will have a lasting effect on manufacturing and launch markets.展开更多

The beneficiation performance of the fluidized bed was investigated using 0.25-1.00 mm coarse coal slime and the two different distributors. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of axial particle velocity in the radial direction of the bed can be reduced by a distributor that has a central discharge. The beneficiation performance for this dis- tributor is improved relative to the distributor with the peripheral discharge. This indicates that it is necessary to eliminate or suppress the core-annulus structure within a hindered fluidized bed. Increasing superficial water velocity causes the clean coal ash content, the railings ash content, and the combustible recovery to increase. Additionally, increasing the bed height decreases all of these three indexes. The optimum superficial water velocity and bed height for a 0.25-1.00 mm coal feed were deter- mined to be 3 mm/s and 800 mm, respectively. This work provides a foundation for the scale-up of the bed.展开更多

The carbon emission effect of construction land changes is an important factor for the increase of carbon emissions in the atmosphere. In this study, the drivers of carbon emissions in Anhui Province from 1997 to 2011 were quantitatively measured using the improved Kaya identity and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index. The results show that: economic growth, expansion of construction land and changes in population density have incremental effects on carbon emissions. The average contribution rate of economic growth as the first driver is 266.32 percent. The construction land expansion is an important driving factor with annual mean carbon effect of 6.4057 million tons and annual mean contribution rate of 187.30 percent. But the change in population density has little impact on carbon emission driving. Energy structure changes and energy intensity reduction have inhibitory effects on carbon emissions, of which the annual mean contribution rate is -212.06 percent and -158.115 percent respectively. The targeted policy approaches of carbon emission reduction were put forward based on the decomposition of carbon emission factors, laying a scientific basis to rationally use the land for the Government, which is conducive to build an ecological province for Anhui and achieve the purpose of emission reduction, providing a reference for the research on carbon emission effect of changes in provincial-scale construction land.展开更多

In order to improve the measurement distance, the accuracy, the space resolution, the ability of multi-parameter measurements, and the intelligence of full distributed fiber sensor systems, a new generation fiber sensor technology based on the optical fiber nonlinear scattering fusion principle is proposed. A series of new generation full distributed fiber sensors are investigated and designed, which consist of new generation ultra-long distance full distributed fiber Raman and Rayleigh scattering photon sensors integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier, auto-correction full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors based on Raman correlation dual sources, full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors based on a pulse coding source, full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors using a fiber Raman wavelength shifter, a new type of Brillouin optical time domain analyzers (BOTDAs) integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier for replacing a fiber Brillouin amplifier, full distributed fiber Raman and Brillouin photon sensors integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier, and full distributed fiber Brillouin photon sensors integrated with a fiber Brillouin frequency shifter. The Internet of things is believed as one of candidates of the next technological revolution, which has driven hundreds of millions of class markets. Sensor networks are important components of the Internet of things. The full distributed optical fiber sensor network (Rayleigh, Raman, and Brillouin scattering) is a 3S (smart materials, smart structure, and smart skill) system, which is easy to construct smart fiber sensor networks. The distributed optical fiber sensor can be embedded in the power grids, railways, bridges, tunnels, roads, constructions, water supply systems, dams, oil and gas pipelines and other facilities, and can be integrated with wireless networks.展开更多

文摘AIM:To conduct a meta-analysis to determine the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic liver resection(LLR) and open liver resection(OLR) for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS:PubMed(Medline),EMBASE and Science Citation Index Expanded and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library were searched systematically to identify relevant comparative studies reporting outcomes for both LLR and OLR for HCC between January 1992 and February 2012.Two authors independently assessed the trials for inclusion and extracted the data.Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager Version 5.0 software(The Cochrane Collaboration,Oxford,United Kingdom).Pooled odds ratios(OR) or weighted mean differences(WMD) with 95%CI were calculated using either fixed effects(Mantel-Haenszel method) or random effects models(DerSimonian and Laird method).Evaluated endpoints were operative outcomes(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,blood transfusion requirement),postoperative outcomes(liver failure,cirrhotic decompensation/ascites,bile leakage,postoperative bleeding,pulmonary complications,intraabdominal abscess,mortality,hospital stay and oncologic outcomes(positive resection margins and tumor recurrence).RESULTS:Fifteen eligible non-randomized studies were identified,out of which,9 high-quality studies involving 550 patients were included,with 234 patients in the LLR group and 316 patients in the OLR group.LLR was associated with significantly lower intraoperative blood loss,based on six studies with 333 patients [WMD:-129.48 mL;95%CI:-224.76-(-34.21) mL;P = 0.008].Seven studies involving 416 patients were included to assess blood transfusion requirement between the two groups.The LLR group had lower blood transfusion requirement(OR:0.49;95%CI:0.26-0.91;P = 0.02).While analyzing hospital stay,six studies with 333 patients were included.Patients in the LLR group were found to have shorter hospital stay [WMD:-3.19 d;95%CI:-4.09-(-2.28) d;P < 0.00001] than their OLR counterpart.Seven studies including 416 patients were pooled together to estimate the odds of developing postoperative ascites in the patient groups.The LLR group appeared to have a lower incidence of postoperative ascites(OR:0.32;95%CI:0.16-0.61;P = 0.0006) as compared with OLR patients.Similarly,fewer patients had liver failure in the LLR group than in the OLR group(OR:0.15;95%CI:0.02-0.95;P =0.04).However,no significant differences were found between the two approaches with regards to operation time [WMD:4.69 min;95%CI:-22.62-32 min;P = 0.74],bile leakage(OR:0.55;95%CI:0.10-3.12;P = 0.50),postoperative bleeding(OR:0.54;95%CI:0.20-1.45;P = 0.22),pulmonary complications(OR:0.43;95%CI:0.18-1.04;P = 0.06),intra-abdominal abscesses(OR:0.21;95%CI:0.01-4.53;P = 0.32),mortality(OR:0.46;95%CI:0.14-1.51;P = 0.20),presence of positive resection margins(OR:0.59;95%CI:0.21-1.62;P = 0.31) and tumor recurrence(OR:0.95;95%CI:0.62-1.46;P = 0.81).CONCLUSION:LLR appears to be a safe and feasible option for resection of HCC in selected patients based on current evidence.However,further appropriately designed randomized controlled trials should be undertaken to ascertain these findings.

文摘The method of matrix continued fraction is used to investigate stochastic resonance (SR) in the biasedsubdiffusive Smoluchowski system within linear response range.Numerical results of linear dynamic susceptibility andspectral amplification factor are presented and discussed in two-well potential and mono-well potential with differentsubdiffusion exponents.Following our observation,the introduction of a bias in the potential weakens the SR effect inthe subdiffusive system just as in the normal diffusive case.Our observation also discloses that the subdiffusion inhibitsthe low-frequency SR,but it enhances the high-frequency SR in the biased Smoluchowski system,which should reflect a'flattening' influence of the subdiffusion on the linear susceptibility.
文摘Space is becoming more accessible than ever before. Falling satellite manufacturing and launch costs have opened the door to new players to enter the market, disrupting the status quo. HTS and constellations have entered the market and will lead to a lot more capacity at a lower price. But how this capacity will be optimally distributed remains a significant challenge. Earth Observation(EO) and Big Data are also areas of interest that are gaining grounds thanks to projects of 100 s if not 1,000 s of satellites that will have a lasting effect on manufacturing and launch markets.
文摘Two kinds of liquid distributor, a central discharge or a peripheral discharge, were designed into a hindered fluid- ized bed separator. The beneficiation performance of the fluidized bed was investigated using 0.25-1.00 mm coarse coal slime and the two different distributors. The experimental results show that the heterogeneity of axial particle velocity in the radial direction of the bed can be reduced by a distributor that has a central discharge. The beneficiation performance for this dis- tributor is improved relative to the distributor with the peripheral discharge. This indicates that it is necessary to eliminate or suppress the core-annulus structure within a hindered fluidized bed. Increasing superficial water velocity causes the clean coal ash content, the railings ash content, and the combustible recovery to increase. Additionally, increasing the bed height decreases all of these three indexes. The optimum superficial water velocity and bed height for a 0.25-1.00 mm coal feed were deter- mined to be 3 mm/s and 800 mm, respectively. This work provides a foundation for the scale-up of the bed.

文摘Low noise distributed amplifiers (DAs) using the novel low noise composite-channel Al0.3 Ga0.7N/ml0.05 Ga0.95 N/ GaN HEMTs (CC-HEMTs) with 1μm-gate-length are designed and fabricated. Simulated and measured results of the DAs are characterized. The measured results show that the low noise DAs have input and output VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of less than 2.0,associated gain of more than 7.0dB and gain ripple of less than ldB in the frequency range from 2 to 10GHz. Noise figure of the DAs is less than 5dB in the frequency range from 2 to 6GHz,and less than 6.5dB in the frequency range from 2 to 10GHz. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones.

文摘In the context of "two-wheel drive" development mode, China's construction land shows significant expansion characteristics. The carbon emission effect of construction land changes is an important factor for the increase of carbon emissions in the atmosphere. In this study, the drivers of carbon emissions in Anhui Province from 1997 to 2011 were quantitatively measured using the improved Kaya identity and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index. The results show that: economic growth, expansion of construction land and changes in population density have incremental effects on carbon emissions. The average contribution rate of economic growth as the first driver is 266.32 percent. The construction land expansion is an important driving factor with annual mean carbon effect of 6.4057 million tons and annual mean contribution rate of 187.30 percent. But the change in population density has little impact on carbon emission driving. Energy structure changes and energy intensity reduction have inhibitory effects on carbon emissions, of which the annual mean contribution rate is -212.06 percent and -158.115 percent respectively. The targeted policy approaches of carbon emission reduction were put forward based on the decomposition of carbon emission factors, laying a scientific basis to rationally use the land for the Government, which is conducive to build an ecological province for Anhui and achieve the purpose of emission reduction, providing a reference for the research on carbon emission effect of changes in provincial-scale construction land.
文摘A brief review of recent progress in researches, productions and applications of full distributed fiber Raman photon sensors at China Jiliang University (CJLU) is presented. In order to improve the measurement distance, the accuracy, the space resolution, the ability of multi-parameter measurements, and the intelligence of full distributed fiber sensor systems, a new generation fiber sensor technology based on the optical fiber nonlinear scattering fusion principle is proposed. A series of new generation full distributed fiber sensors are investigated and designed, which consist of new generation ultra-long distance full distributed fiber Raman and Rayleigh scattering photon sensors integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier, auto-correction full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors based on Raman correlation dual sources, full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors based on a pulse coding source, full distributed fiber Raman photon temperature sensors using a fiber Raman wavelength shifter, a new type of Brillouin optical time domain analyzers (BOTDAs) integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier for replacing a fiber Brillouin amplifier, full distributed fiber Raman and Brillouin photon sensors integrated with a fiber Raman amplifier, and full distributed fiber Brillouin photon sensors integrated with a fiber Brillouin frequency shifter. The Internet of things is believed as one of candidates of the next technological revolution, which has driven hundreds of millions of class markets. Sensor networks are important components of the Internet of things. The full distributed optical fiber sensor network (Rayleigh, Raman, and Brillouin scattering) is a 3S (smart materials, smart structure, and smart skill) system, which is easy to construct smart fiber sensor networks. The distributed optical fiber sensor can be embedded in the power grids, railways, bridges, tunnels, roads, constructions, water supply systems, dams, oil and gas pipelines and other facilities, and can be integrated with wireless networks.

文摘Particle inertia effect plays a significant role in sediment dispersion which has not been fully elucidated.In this paper,the profound effect of particle inertia on the sediment dispersion was analyzed.The theoretical expression for the drift velocity based on the two-phase mixture theory in turbulent open channels is firstly introduced.The influence of particle inertia on sediment dispersion was investigated through three different aspects including vertical dispersion,motion,and flux properties based on the drift velocity.Results show that the dispersion of suspended sediment in turbulent open-channel flows is affected by three major processes including turbulence of water sediment mixtures,particle random motion,and collisions among particles,of which the contributions of particle turbulence and collisions to the sediment dispersion are remarkable for particles of high inertia.With respect to the vertical mean velocity and sediment flux,it shows that the predictive results agree well with the measurements when the term of particle inertia is considered.As a result,particle inertia considerably affects the behavior of suspended sediment.In particular,the influence of inertia must be accounted for in circumstances of flows laden with high-inertia particles.
