A new adaptive state space construction method for the mobile robot navigation

In order to solve the combinative explosion problems in a continuous and high dimensional statespace,a function approximation approach is usually used to represent the state space.The normalized ra-dial basis function(NRBF)was adopted as the local function approximator and a kind of adaptive statespace construction strategy based on the NRBF(ASC-NRBF)was proposed,which enables the system toallocate appropriate number and size of the basis functions automatically.Combined with the reinforce-ment learning method,the proposed ASC-NRBF method was applied to the robot navigation problem.Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

Considering the self-gravitation and energy conservation as well as charge conservation, we extend Medved and Vagenas＇s quantum tunneling method to the global monopole charged black hole, and give a correction to Hawking radiation of a charged particle.

Time-Dependent Density Matrix Renormalization Group Coupled with n-Mode Representation Potentials for the Excited State Radiationless Decay Rate:Formalism and Application to Azulene

We propose a method for calculating the nonradiative decay rates for polyatomic molecules including anharmonic effects of the potential energy surface(PES)in the Franck-Condon region.The method combines the n-mode repre-sentation method to construct the ab initio PES and the nearly exact time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method(TD-DMRG)to simulate quantum dynamics.In addition,in the framework of TD-DMRG,we further develop an algorithm to calculate the final-state-resolved rate coefficient which is very useful to analyze the contribution from each vibrational mode to the transition process.We use this method to study the internal conversion(IC)process of azulene after taking into account the anharmonicity of the ground state PES.The results show that even for this semi-rigid molecule,the intramode anharmonicity enhances the IC rate significantly,and after considering the two-mode coupling effect,the rate increases even further.The reason is that the anharmonicity enables the C-H vibrations to receive electronic energy while C-H vibrations do not contribute on the harmonic PES as the Huang-Rhys factor is close to 0.

Effects of R-parity Violation on the Charged Higgs Boson Decays

We calculate one-loop R-parity-violating coupling corrections to theprocesses H~- → τv_τ and H~- → bt. We find that the corrections to the H~- → τv_τ decay modeare generally about 0.1%, and can be negligible. But the corrections to the H~- → bt decay mode canreach a few percent for the favored parameters.

Complete response to radiation therapy of orbital metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is increasing in the United States,and 50%-75%o patients with HCC will develop metastatic disease Orbital metastases from HCC are extremely rare.We report the case of a 52-year-old male with known metastatic HCC,who presented with severe proptosis and diplopia.An orbital mass was identified on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and confirmed to have hypermetabolic activity on positron emission tomography/computed tomography.He received a palliative course of external beam radiation therapy to the right orbit.Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)was used to allow sparing of critical norma tissues in close proximity to the tumor.One month after completion of IMRT to 58 Gray in 30 fractions delivered over 6 wk,the patient had a complete clinical,radiologic(MRI)and symptomatic response The patient continues to have local control in the orbi 1.7 years after therapy completion.All critical norma structures were kept below the tolerance dose using IMRT,and no toxicities were observed.

Radon Gas Measurements through Geiger and Sodium Iodide Scintillator——Study Efficiency Comparison

With the use ofa Geiger proportional counter with sensor tube of Russian and Chinese origin, a comparison was made in this work between measurements of environmental ionizing radiation with these detectors and a sodium iodide scintillator activated with TI （Thallium NaI）. Through measurements carried out in a room located inside a tower 25 meters high on the ITA （Technological Institute of Aeronautics） campus, it was possible to study the efficiency of the three instruments for the environmental measurement of ionizing radiations at that location. Between March 7th and June 2nd of 2017, in that region, nine intense and weak rains were observed with 12 cold fronts coming from southern Brazil. Radiation measurements and the local meteorology involved are analyzed in this work to verify possible correlations.

The Microwave Synthesis of 2,6-Pyridine Dicarboxylic Hydrazine

Under microwave irradiation, with dimethypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate and hydrazine hydrate as raw materials, 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic hydrazine was produced. At the same time, the influence factors of production rate, such as microwave radiation time, reaction power, the amount of dimethypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate and hydrazine hydrate was further explored. Through the orthogonal experiments, better technology conditions were found which make the synthetic process turn from the new type of microwave technology.

Hawking Radiation of a d-Dimensional Black Hole with Quantum Correction

We study the absorption probability and Hawking radiation of the scalar field in a d-dimensional black hole with quantum correction arising from the polymer quantization. We find that the quantum length scale k （i.e., the bounce radius） modifies the standard results in greybody factors and Hawking radiation on the brahe and into the bulk. For the black hole with the larger mass M the effects of the parameter k in the four-dimensional black hole spacetime are entirely different from those in the high dimensional cases. When the mass of black hole M becomes very small, we also find that only the sign of the change rate of the greybody factors on the brahe with respect to the dimensional number depends sharply on the bounce radius k. These information can help us know more about the extra dimension and the black holes with quantum correction.

Stepwise decomposition and relative radiometric normalization for small footprint LiDAR waveform

As an advanced generation instrument of earth observation,small footprint full waveform light detection and ranging(LiDAR) technology has been widely used in the past few years.Decomposition and radiative correction is an important step in waveform data processing,it influences the accuracy of both information extraction and further applications.Based on a stepwise strategy,this study adopts Gaussian mixture model to approximate the LiDAR waveform.In addition to waveform decomposition,a relative correction model is proposed in this paper,the model considers the transmit pulses as well as the different of the travel path for implementing LiDAR waveform relative correction.Validation of the stepwise decomposition and relative correction model are carried out on LiDAR waveform acquired over Zhangye,China.The results indicate that stepwise decomposition identified the number of peaks in LiDAR waveforms,center position and width of each peak well.The relative radiometric correction also improves the similarity of waveforms which acquired at the same target.

Radiative Corrections to e^+e^-→ Zh at Future Higgs Factory in the Minimal Dilaton Model

Abstract The minimal dilaton model （MDM） extends the Standard Model by one singlet scalar called dilaton andone top quark partner called t. In this work we investigate the t-induced radiative correction to the Higgs-strahlung production process e＋e^→ Zh at future Higgs factory. We first present the analytical calculations in detail and show how to handle the ultraviolet divergence. Then we calculate the correction numerically by considering the constraints from precision electroweak data. We find that, for sinθL=0.2 and mt= 1200 GeV, the correction is 0.26% and 2.1% for SE＋E = 240 GeV, 1 TeV respectively, and a larger value can be achieved as sin θL increases.

An orientation method and analysis of optical radiation sources based on polyhedron and parallel incident light

The spatial orientation of optical radiation sources has long been the hot topic in the aerospace and the military applications.Current researches mainly focus on the high precision orientation on the partial field of view.Thus,combination of several partial fields of view is required to achieve orientation when the field of view exceeds 180°,which results in the increase of size,weight,power consumption and the cost.By defining radiation energy and direction of the optical radiation source as a vector and applying the cosine law of radiation and vector theorem,it is shown that the vector can be obtained from unit normal vectors on the three un-coplanar surfaces and from the energy projected by the optical radiation source.Based on this,an orientation method with 360° full field of view by a polyhedron is suggested,the mathematical formula for anti-multipath interference is supposed and the error upper limit is derived.The feasibility and effectiveness of this method are validated by measurements and simulation.An accuracy better than 2.866° and 0.574° is achieved when the ratio of measurement error of energy on arbitrary surface and the true value are 5% and 1%,respectively,given the matrix composed of unit normal vectors on three measurement surfaces is orthogonal.

De Broglie–Bohm Interpretation of Canonical Quantum Cosmology Implies Early Stages of the Universe Dominated by Radiation

The Einstein＇s genera/relativity is formulated in the Hamiltonian form for a spatia/ly Bat, isotropic and homogeneous universe. Subsequently, we perform the canonical quantization procedure to the Hamiltonian to obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Solving the Wheeler-DeWitt equation and employing the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the wave function of the universe, we obtain a new version of spatia/ly fiat Friedmann equation for the early universe where the scale factor of the universe is taken to be sufilcientlv small.

North Indian Ocean tropical cyclone activities influenced by the Indian Ocean Dipole mode

Using Joint Typhoon Warning Center tropical cyclone(TC)track data over the North Indian Ocean(NIO),National Centers for Environmental Prediction monthly reanalysis wind and outgoing long-wave radiation data,and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sea surface temperature data from 1981 to 2010,spatiotemporal distributions of NIO TC activity and relationships with local sea surface temperature(SST)were studied with statistical diagnosis methods.Results of empirical orthogonal function(EOF)analysis of NIO TC occurrence frequency show that the EOF1 mode,which accounts for 16%of total variance,consistently represents variations of TC occurrence frequency over the whole NIO basin.However,spatial dis- tributions of EOF1 mode are not uniform,mainly indicating variations of westward-moving TCs in the Bay of Bengal.The prevailing TC activity variation mode oscillates significantly on a quasi-5 year interannual time scale.NIO TC activity is notably influenced by the Indian Ocean dipole(IOD)mode.When the Indian Ocean is in a positive(negative)phase of the IOD, NIO SST anomalies are warm in the west(east)and cold in the east(west),which can weaken(strengthen)convection over the Bay of Bengal and eastern Arabian Sea,and cause anticyclonic(cyclonic)atmospheric circulation anomalies at low levels. This results in less(more)TC genesis and reduced(increased)opportunities for TC occurrence in the NIO.In addition,positive(negative)IOD events may strengthen(weaken)westerly steering flow over the Bay of Bengal,which further leads to fewer(more)westward-moving TCs which appear in regions west of 90°E in that bay.

Interaction Between Massive and Massless Gravitons by Perturbing Topological Field Theory

We test the Wu gauge theory of gravity with massive gravitons in the perturbing topological field theory framework.We show that the computation of the correlation function between massive and massless gravitons is reported up to 4-loop and appears to be unaffected by radiative correction.This result ensures the stability of the linking number between massive and massless gravitons with respect to the local perturbation,a result with potential wider applications in cosmology.

Particle bursts in the inner radiation belt related to global lightning activity

Particle bursts （PBs）, the phenomena characterized by short-term increases of particle counting rates （CRs）, were observed by space-borne radiation belt particle detectors. With the electron CR data obtained by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad- ministration （NOAA）-18 satellite, the occurrence of PBs in the inner belt （I〈~L〈2 and B〉20.5 gT） were derived for years 2006-2011. The monthly occurrence number of PBs exhibits a strong maximum in northern summer （May-August）. In associ- ation with global lightning data, the seasonal occurrence of PBs is found to be consistent with the lightning activity, especially if only lightning flashes at latitudes 〉20~ are taken into account. The positive correlation between PBs and mid-latitude light- ning discharges indicates the role of lightning-induced whistler waves, and is consistent with the expected pitch-angle scatter- ing by wave-particle interactions. The contribution of lightning is so significant that it forms a non-negligible seasonal back- ground of PBs. If one connects PBs to seismoelectromagnetic emissions （SEME） in attempt to find the earthquake precursor, the lightning background needs to be considered with great care.

Nonrelativistic Lamb shift in a nano-sized conducting ring

A theoretical calculation of the nonrelativistic Lamb shift in nano-sized semiconducting （GaAs） and metallic （AI） circular rings is carried out. On the basis of a flat one-electron potential with infinitely high barriers, the radiative back-action is obtained to second order in perturbation theory. Numerical results are presented for the radiative correction to the transition frequency between the ground state and first excited radial quantum states （initial state： （1,1,0）, final state： （2,1,0）） neglecting the curvature term in the Schr6dinger equation. Lamb shifts are calculated as functions of the inner ring radius, the ring thickness, and the temperature.
