Firstly, the timed automata model is established based on function analysis of the zone controller, and the correctness of the model is verified by UPPAAL. Then by parsing the timed automata model files, state information and transition conditions can be extracted to generate test case sets. Finally, according to the serialization conditions of test cases, the test cases are serialized into test sequences by using the improved depth first search algorithm. A case, the ZC controls the train running within its jurisdiction, shows that the method is correct and can effectively improve the efficiency of test sequence generation.展开更多

In this study we analyze the concentration–discharge relationships of weathering products from global rivers using previously compiled time-series datasets for concentrations and discharge from global rivers. To analyze the nature of the covariation between specific discharge and concentrations, we use both a power law equation and a recently developed solute production equation. The solute production equation allows us to quantify weathering efficiency, or the resistance to dilution at high runoff, via the Damkohler coefficient. These results are also compared to those derived using average concentration–discharge pairs.Both the power law exponent and the Damkohler coefficient increase and asymptote as catchments exhibit increasingly chemostatic behavior, resulting in an inverse relationship between the two parameters. We also show that using thedistribution of average concentration–discharge pairs from global rivers, rather than fitting concentration–discharge relationships for each individual river, underestimates global median weathering efficiency by up to a factor of ~10. This study demonstrates the utility of long time-series sampling of global rivers to elucidate controlling processes needed to quantify patterns in global silicate weathering rates.展开更多

Distributed consensus protocols are first designed in terms of two event-triggered scenarios: a decentralized strategy and a distributed strategy. Sufficient conditions that guarantee the event-triggered consensus for multiple Euler-Lagrange systems are then presented, with the associated advantages of reducing controller update times. It is shown that the Zeno behavior of triggering time sequences is excluded for both strategies. Finally, multiple Euler-Lagrange systems that consist of six two-link manipulators are considered to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical algorithms.展开更多

By rejuvenating the discrete Fourier transform(DFT), this paper proposes a Fourier mode decomposition(FMD) method for the time series of particle image velocimetry(PIV) data from the fluid field. An experimental case concerning the control of the flow around a circular cylinder by a synthetic jet positioned at the rear stagnation point is used to demonstrate the use of the FMD method. In the three different regimes where the natural shedding frequency and actuation frequency dominate respectively or simultaneously, it is found that the FMD method is capable of extracting the dynamic mode along with its amplitude and phase according to the selected characteristic frequency based on the global power spectrum. For the quasiperiodic flow phenomena presented in this particular case, the FMD method can reconstruct the original flow field using the zero-th mode and the selected mode corresponding to the characteristic frequency. Similarities and differences between the FMD method and the dynamical mode decomposition(DMD) and proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) methods are also discussed.展开更多

We first summarize and evaluate the existing local prediction models, then proposeoptimization models and new algorithms to modify procedures of local approximations. Themodification to the choice of sample sets is given, and the zeroth-order approximation is improvedby a linear programming method. Four procedures of first-order approximation are compared, andcorresponding modified methods are given. Lastly, the idea of nonlinear feedback to raise predictingaccuracy is put forward. In the end, we discuss two important examples, i.e. Lorenz system andRoessler system, and the simulation experiments indicate that the modified algorithms are effective.展开更多
