To solve the above problems, a novel signal processing algorithm is proposed based on the GPS L1 software receiver during strong ionospheric scintillation using the multi-channel intermediate frequency(IF) data sampling system. Tens of thousands of fading events are obtained based on the signal intensity measurement. The amplitude fading characteristics in the lowlatitude region are analyzed,including fading duration, time separation between fades and the numbers of signal intensity fading events. The fading thresholds are set to be 15 and 10 dB, respectively. The main fading time is very short in- 15 dB fading threshold, which generally is less than 20 ms. The main time separation between fades is less than 2 s in a single one-hour period from the time 23: 00 to 24: 00. Therefore, it has the characteristic of a short reacquisition time for the receiver designed to reduce the probability of simultaneous loss of lock for some satellites.Subsequently, the acquisition, tracking and PVT(position,velocity and time) calculations are completed by the customdesigned software receiver. The results show that the impact analysis of ionospheric scintillation on GPS amplitude attenuation in the lowlatitude region is helpful for designing the advanced tracking algorithm and to improve the robustness and accuracy of the GPS receiver.展开更多

The amount of variable negative charge was much less in variable-charge soil than in permanent-charge soil and increased with the pH in the system, but the opposite trend occurred in the points of zero charge (PZCs). The amount of Cu2+ ions sorbed by permanent-charge soil was more than that by variable-charge soil and increased with the increase of Cu2+ concentration within a certain range in the equilibrium solution. The amount of Cu2+ ions desorbed with KC1 from permanent-charge soil was more than that from variable-charge soil, but the amount of Cu2+ ions desorbed with de-ionized water from permanent-charge soil was extremely low whereas there was still a certain amount of desorption from variable-charge soil. The increase of PZC of soils with variable or permanent charge varied with the increment of Cu2+ ions added. When the same amount of Cu2+ ions was added, the increments of PZC and variable negative surface charge of permanent-charge soil were different from those of variable-charge soil.展开更多

In this work, pure powder of La9.33 2x/3MxSi6O26 (M=Mg, Ca, Sr) is prepared by the sol-gel method with sintering at 1000℃. The powder is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The apatite can be obtained at relatively low temperature as compared to the conventional solid-state reaction method. The measurements of conductivity of a series of doped samples La9.33-2x/3MxSi6O26 (M=Ca, Mg, Sr) indicate that the type of dopant and the amount have a significant effect on the conductivity. The greatest decrease in conductivity is observed for Mg doping, following the Ca and the Sr doped apatites. The effect is ultimately attributed to the amount of oxygen interstitials, which is affected by the crystal lattice distortion arising from cation vacancies.展开更多

The photoelectrochemical lithium insertion characteristics of the SrTiO3/CNTs composite under xenon light irradiation were investigated. The results show that the light irradiation has little influence on the specific capacity of the CNTs electrode. However, for the SrTiO3/CNTs electrode irradiated by light, the lithium insertion capacity reaches about 251 mAh/g, much higher than that without light irradiation (170 mAh/g). Cyclic voltammetry test reveals that the light irradiation can remarkably increase the reaction currents of lithium insertion and extraction. This may be attributed to the photo-excited intercalation of Li-ions into the CNTs by the SrTiO3 photocatalyst when irradiated by light.展开更多

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the WBE was carded out to analyze the performance of coating delamination and corrosion behavior of carbon steel beneath defective coating. The EIS data revealed that protective capability of coating decreased with immersion time and the degree of cathodic delamination showed a rapid rise. The current density distribution of WBE indicated that cathodic sites was located at the defect at the beginning of immersion and gradually spread into the intact coating. The cathodic regions were distinguished from the anodic area and distributed over the WBE. The changes of cathodic sites could reflect the deterioration process of defective coating. The cathodic area ratio was a more useful parameter than the cathodic delamination degree to evaluate the coating cathodic delamination. The polarity reversals of electrodes at the defect and beneath coating were observed. A simple discussion of relationship between the blister and the polarity reversal was made from a standpoint of electrochemical distribution. WBE method was able to map and record the changes of local cathodic sites beneath defective coating in real time, which could provide more detailed information about the local degradation of coating.展开更多

The...The effect of magnetic field and ionizing radiation on the mechanical properties of polymer blends consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) has been investigated. The purpose of the work was to create HDPE/NBR blend composites of significantly different compositions (with an excess of HDPE, intermediate ones, and with an excess of NBR) and to investigate the role of composition on mechanical deformation properties under the influence of magnetic field. The investigation has importance from the engineering viewpoint, since thermoplastic composite materials have been used as structural elements in thermonuclear and engineering fields, like wires, insulation materials and others, which are frequently subjected to mechanical loadings under the effect of magnetic field greater than 1 T. One part of the blends has been irradiated with 5 MeV accelerated electrons up to absorbed dose D equal to 150 kGy. Unirradiated and the radiation modified blends have been exposed to a constant magnetic field with induction B equal to 1.0 T, 1.5 T and 1.7 T. It is found that the action of magnetic field decreases the elastic modulus of unirradiated materials. Decrement of elastic modulus is reduced with increase of the content of NBR in composites. It is also found that preliminary irradiation noticeably decreases the effect of magnetic field. Data of the influence of the magnetic field, radiation cross-linking, and the ratio of the components on the creep are also obtained.展开更多

Fulvic acid discharge plasma can remove and produce no production of solution was treated by high voltage pulse discharge plasma in this paper. It was shown that: for the reason of thermolysis and oxidation, the pH and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of solution decreased gradually with the increase of peak voltage and fulvic acid solution concentration, meanwhile the temperature and turbidity of solution increased gradually. Adding hydrochlorid acid in the treatment could amplify the effect of plasma. When the concentration of NOM as the surrogate parameter, Ultraviolet Absorbancy Degree (UV254) increased slowly by the effect of plasma, while the degradation of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was first-order reaction. The removal rate of TOC increased from 22.6% to 33.4% by high voltage pulse electrical field of 35 kv, and from 25.6% to 36.7% with the addition of hydrochlorid acid. This paper may provide some basis for the scale-up design of water treatment process by high voltage pulse discharge plasma with other technologies.展开更多
