Studies on the terrain characteristics of settlements can help to understand the effects of the environment on human activities. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the relationship between settlements and topographical factors. A statistically significant sample of residential locations and ASTER GDEM V2 were used to investigate terrain traits and settlements distributions. We selected eight topographical factors and introduced a practical concept, distributive entropy, into assessing the aggregation extent of the settlements' spatial distribution. The study showed that topography varies within the study area, and distributive entropy indicates that settlements have distinctive distribution tendency in statistic approach. According to the results of this study, mountain inhabitants prefer to settle in valleys. Additionally, with distributive entropy, residential suitability was divided to three levels: suitable, normal, and unsuited. The results showed that suitable area is small in Sichuan Province, accounting for 8.2%～29.9%; however, unsuited area is large, accounting for 33%～63.3%.展开更多

Reliability of an object is an essential issue during its usage. The main problem is the strive to eliminate damage formation. Predicting the reliability of an object should allow qualitative and quantitative analysis of the possibility of occurrence of unfavorable events. The adaptation of mathematical models describing the degradation processes in mechanical and electronic devices creates opportunities to develop diagnostic standards for buildings erected in traditional technology.

Firstly, an average integral square criterion of the tracking error and the plant input energy over a class of additive model errors is defined. Then, utilizing spectral factorization to minimize the performance index, we obtain an optimal controller design method, and furthermore study optimal tracking performance under plant uncertainty and control energy constraint. The results can be used to evaluate optimal average tracking performance and control energy in designing practical control systems.展开更多

The result demonstrated DMT/DMI and DMT/DMP systems are eutectic while DMI/DMP is a solid-solution system. The eutectic temperature of DMT/DMI system is 336.7 K and that of DMT/DMP is 271.1 K. Furthermore, a classical solid-liquid phase equilibrium model was used to fit the experimental data of the eutectic systems of DMT/DMI and DMT/ DMP and the theoretical model could describe the eutectic solid-liquid phase diagrams properly.展开更多

However, the relationship between its chemical profile and neuroprotective bioactivity was not clearly clarified yet. In present study, the water extract of HLJDD and subsequent three polarity fractions divided by different reagents were investigated. A total of 17 chromatographic peaks were confirmed by comparison with standards and their UV, MS spectra. Among them, 11 major compounds were determined by HPLC-DAD method with good linear regression relationship （r2, 0.9994-0.9999）, precisions （inter-day precision RSD, 0.79%-1.07%; intra-day precision RSD, 1.59%-2.10%）, repeatability （RSD, 1.66%-3.67%）, stability （RSD, 1.26%-4.77%） and recovery （95.24%-105.41%, RSD, 0.29%-2.69%）. Furthermore, PC12 cells and primary neurons cells were used for the neuroprotective effective assessment of aforementioned four samples from HLJDD. 3＂he total aqueous extract and n-butanol extract of HLJDD presented more significant effects than the other two parts. According to their quality and quantity determination results, iridoids and alkaloids have a positive correlation with the neuroprotective effectiveness of HLJDD.展开更多

Here, we present a protocol for rapid and high-throughput analysis of intact proteins in tissue samples using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry（MALDITOF MS） combined with a high-mass detector platform. The method involves tissue specimens that undergo a simple protein extraction before MALDI-MS analysis. Using this method, the high abundance proteins in human thyroid carcinoma and paracarcinoma tissues were successfully investigated, and the mass spectra of the tissues of the 30 illustrated thyroid cancers showed remarkable differences. The peak intensity revealed a significant increase in human albumin in thyroid carcinoma tissues（p＆lt;0.05）. To validate the feasibility and credibility of this method, label-free proteomics quantitative analysis and Western blotting were used to relatively quantify the proteins in these tissues. Those results demonstrated a nearly 3-fold difference in human albumin levels between thyroid carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues, which were consistent with the results of our method. The advantages of our method are easy sample handling, remarkable reproducibility and the ability to analyze high-mass proteins without digestion, which make them have the potential to be used in biological research and in clinical practice.展开更多

Quantitative results obtained from simulations and experiments are presented. The results show the DORT method can be effi-ciently applied to target detection with enough source level to yield significant backscatter. For a target placed on the bottom, the influence of the reverberation on the focusing performance is slight. However, distinguishing between a target and constant backscattering returning from strong local clutter on the bottom (false alarms) needs further research.展开更多

In the method, the mutual projections of the chromatographic profiles at different m/z channel are calculated using NNIA. Suppose a GC-MS data with m retention time points and n mass channels, the projections of the GC-MS data onto a chromatographic profile at a mass channel will form a mass spectrum of ln vector. If the chromatographic profile at a selective mass channel is used, the extracted mass spectrum will be a correct one. Therefore, by comparing the extracted mass spectrum with a reference spectrum, the selective ion can be identified, and the corresponding chromatographic profile can be obtained at the same time. GC-MS data of 40-pesticide mixture was investigated by the method. The results show that both the mass spectral and the chromatographic information of the interested components can be extracted from the overlapping signals, except for the special cases of isomeric components with very similar mass spectra.展开更多

The stability of IPS becomes a prerequisite of complicated cruise tasks. Thus, advanced stability analysis and regulation methods for IPS are of great importance. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for analyzing and enhancing transient stability of IPS, which is regarded as a cyber-physical system comprising of subsystems and connections. Criterions for determining input-output stability of such a system are firstly derived. Then, the stability analysis of IPS can be performed in the following two steps: 1) evaluating local input-output stability features of each subsystem independently through simulations. 2) Checking stability criterions with system topology and subsystem stability features. Moreover, synthetic approaches are proposed for stabilization and stability enhancement of IPS. To avoid system in-stability after major failures or topology changes, the optimal emergency control is performed to reconfigure subsystems. The other optimal regulation is used to strengthen system stability by adjusting subsystems' control parameters during normal operation conditions. Case studies on a typical IPS validate the proposed stability analysis and enhancement approach.展开更多
