However, the effects of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation are not fully understood. In this work, six centrifuge tests are reported to investigate the influence of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation induced by normal faulting in sand, clay and nine-layered soil with interbedded sand and clay layers. Shear box tests were conducted to develop a filter paper technique, which was adopted in soil model preparation to simulate the effects of pre-existing fracture in centrifuge tests. Centrifuge test results show that ground deformation mechanism in clay, sand and nine-layered soil strata is classified as a stationary zone, a shearing zone and a rigid body zone. Inclination of the strain localization is governed by the dilatancy of soil material. Moreover, the pre-existing fracture provides a preferential path for ground deformation and results in a scarp at the ground surface in sand. On the contrary, fault ruptures are observed at the ground surface in clay and nine-layered soil strata.展开更多

This paper proposes a new and advanced positioning algorithm for the dual-frequency satellite navigation receivers, concerning the various influences of all the ranging error sources and taking advantage of the Klobuchar single-frequency ionospheric model. The paper also presents positioning precision provided by the new algorithm. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, the new dual-frequency positioning algorithm can achieve higher positioning accu- racy than the single-frequency positioning algorithm and the traditional dual-frequency positioning algorithm.展开更多

Co^2+ was found the most suitable impregnant for the mutual separation of nonionic surfactants (Brij-35 and Brij-57) and cationic from nonionic surfactants (tetmdecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cween-20). Zinc sulphate impregnation (Zn^2+-silica gel) shows identical chromatographic behavior and these layers are useful to separate nonionic surfactant (Brij-35) from cationic surfaetant (cetylpyridinium chloride). The mutual separation of B J-35 and B J-57 is not influenced by the presence of optical brightener in the sample.展开更多

Tenants should be separated from each other based on cloud infrastructure and different users from one tenant should be separated from each other with the constraint of security policies. Learning from the notion of trusted cloud computing and trustworthiness in cloud, in this paper, a multi-level authorization separation model is formally described, and a series of rules are proposed to summarize the separation property of this model. The correctness of the rules is proved. Furthermore, based on this model, a tenant separation mechanism is deployed in a real world mixed-critical information system. Performance benchmarks have shown the availability and efficiency of this mechanism.展开更多

In this paper, the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decompo- sition method is used to analyze the NmFz obtained from the occultation data. Daily spatial distribution of NmF2 at the same time is relatively even. Variance of first modal is much larger than the other modals. A local wavelet power spectrum (LWPS) method is applied to analysis the cycle of Flo.7 index and time coefficient of first modal. The result shows that they have simi- lar cycle distribution, indicating that Flo.7 index is the main factor affecting variation of NmF〉 A function is established be- tween the tine coefficient of first modal and F10.7 index, average F10.7 index value of early 81 days fp by least squares method. The results show that contribution coefficient offp is negative which indicates that fp has an inert effect existing in the iono- sphere. Contribution coefficient of F10.7 is positive, which is consistent with the fact that it has an anomaly in winter/spring seasons. In summary, it is feasible to establish a mid-latitude empirical NmF2 model in northern hemisphere based on occulta- tion data and EOF decomposition method.展开更多

We use the two-year data of electron density inferred from spacecraft potential to identify the plasmapause crossings and create a database of plasmapause locations. The database is further used to build up an empirical model of plasmapause related to magnetic local time based on the equation from O'Brien and Moldwin(2003). The new model is compared with previous plasmapause location models. It is found that our newly developed model is the best in predicting plasmapause locations among the existing models. The models based on Kp and Dst indices are better than the model based on AE index, suggesting that the plasmapause location is controlled by large scale convection of the magnetosphere.展开更多

Based on the three frequencies of the BDS, three categories of combinations are developed: ionosphere-free combinations(i.e., those that eliminate the ionospheric effect), minimum-noise combinations(those that mitigate the effects of thermal noise and multiple paths), and troposphere-free combinations(those that mitigate tropospheric effects). Both the ionosphere-free and troposphere-free combinations can be expressed as planes, whereas the minimum-noise combinations can be expressed as a line. The relationships between these three categories of linear combinations are investigated from the perspective of geometry. The angle between the troposphere-free plane and ionosphere-free plane is small, while the angles between the troposphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, and between the ionosphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, are large. Specifically, the troposphere-free plane is orthogonal to the minimum-noise line. By introducing the concepts of lane number and integer ionosphere number, the characteristics of the long-wavelength integer combinations and ionosphere-free integer combinations are investigated. The analysis indicates that the longest wavelength that can be formed for integer combinations is 146.53 m, and the ionosphere-free integer combinations all have large noise amplification factors. The ionosphere-free integer combination with minimum noise amplification factor is(0, 62, 59). According to the lane number, integer ionosphere number, and noise amplification factor, optimal integer combinations with different characteristics are presented. For general short baselines and long baselines, three independent integer combinations are suggested.展开更多

The test results show that plasma spray technology could be used to prepare the Er203 coating-type selective emitter with good stability at 1400℃. Based on the measurements of the high temperature normal spectral emissivity and the spectral hemispherical emissivity of the samples at room temperature, the influence of the coating thickness was discussed, and the selective emission performance of the sample was evaluated using radiative efficiency as the criterion. The results demonstrate that the emission of substrate could not be neglected unless the coating thickness would be larger than the penetration depth, which is around 100 μm. The selective emission peak of the Er203 coating occurs at 1550 nm, matching well with the GaSb cells. However, the radiative efficiency is not larger than that of the SiC emitter, because the non-convertible emission of 1.725-5 μm accounts for a large proportion of the total radiation power, especially at high temperature. Effective suppression of this band emission is essential to the improvement of the radiation efficiency of the emitter.展开更多

文摘Ionospheric delay is one of the major error sources in GNSS navigation and positioning.Nowadays,the dual-frequency technique is the most widely used in ionospheric refraction correction.However,dual-frequency measurements can only eliminate the first-order term of ionospheric delay,while the effect of the second-order term on GNSS observations may be several centimeters.In this paper,two models,the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) 2007 and International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) 11 are used to estimate the second-order term through the integral calculation method.Besides,the simplified single layer ionosphere model in a dipole moment approximation for the earth magnetic field is used.Since the traditional integral calculation method requires large calculation load and takes much time,it is not convenient for practical use.Additionally,although the simplified single layer ionosphere model is simple to implement,it results in larger errors.In this study,second-order term ionospheric correction formula proposed by Hoque (2007) is improved for estimating the second-order term at a global scale.Thus,it is more practicable to estimate the second-order term.More importantly,its results have a higher precision of the sub-millimeter level for a global scale in normal conditions.Compared with Hoque's original regional correction model,which calculates coefficients through polynomial fitting of elevation and latitudes,this study proposes a piece-wise look-up table and interpolation technique to modify Hoque model.Through utilizing a table file,the modified Hoque model can be conveniently implemented in an engineering software package,like as PANDA in this study.Through applying the proposed scheme for the second-order ionospheric correction into GNSS precise positioning in both PPP daily and epoch solutions,the results have shown south-shift characteristics in daily solution at a global scale and periodic change with VTEC daily variation in epoch positioning solution.

In this paper, the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decompo- sition method is used to analyze the NmFz obtained from the occultation data. Daily spatial distribution of NmF2 at the same time is relatively even. Variance of first modal is much larger than the other modals. A local wavelet power spectrum (LWPS) method is applied to analysis the cycle of Flo.7 index and time coefficient of first modal. The result shows that they have simi- lar cycle distribution, indicating that Flo.7 index is the main factor affecting variation of NmF〉 A function is established be- tween the tine coefficient of first modal and F10.7 index, average F10.7 index value of early 81 days fp by least squares method. The results show that contribution coefficient offp is negative which indicates that fp has an inert effect existing in the iono- sphere. Contribution coefficient of F10.7 is positive, which is consistent with the fact that it has an anomaly in winter/spring seasons. In summary, it is feasible to establish a mid-latitude empirical NmF2 model in northern hemisphere based on occulta- tion data and EOF decomposition method.

The database is further used to build up an empirical model of plasmapause related to magnetic local time based on the equation from O'Brien and Moldwin(2003). The new model is compared with previous plasmapause location models. It is found that our newly developed model is the best in predicting plasmapause locations among the existing models. The models based on Kp and Dst indices are better than the model based on AE index, suggesting that the plasmapause location is controlled by large scale convection of the magnetosphere.

文摘An investigation has been made on the models and characteristics of triple-frequency carrier-phase linear combinations for the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System(BDS). Based on the three frequencies of the BDS, three categories of combinations are developed: ionosphere-free combinations(i.e., those that eliminate the ionospheric effect), minimum-noise combinations(those that mitigate the effects of thermal noise and multiple paths), and troposphere-free combinations(those that mitigate tropospheric effects). Both the ionosphere-free and troposphere-free combinations can be expressed as planes, whereas the minimum-noise combinations can be expressed as a line. The relationships between these three categories of linear combinations are investigated from the perspective of geometry. The angle between the troposphere-free plane and ionosphere-free plane is small, while the angles between the troposphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, and between the ionosphere-free plane and the minimum-noise line, are large. Specifically, the troposphere-free plane is orthogonal to the minimum-noise line. By introducing the concepts of lane number and integer ionosphere number, the characteristics of the long-wavelength integer combinations and ionosphere-free integer combinations are investigated. The analysis indicates that the longest wavelength that can be formed for integer combinations is 146.53 m, and the ionosphere-free integer combinations all have large noise amplification factors. The ionosphere-free integer combination with minimum noise amplification factor is(0, 62, 59). According to the lane number, integer ionosphere number, and noise amplification factor, optimal integer combinations with different characteristics are presented. For general short baselines and long baselines, three independent integer combinations are suggested.

文摘An Er203 coating-type selective emitter for themophotovoltaic application was prepared by plasma spray technology. The test results show that plasma spray technology could be used to prepare the Er203 coating-type selective emitter with good stability at 1400℃. Based on the measurements of the high temperature normal spectral emissivity and the spectral hemispherical emissivity of the samples at room temperature, the influence of the coating thickness was discussed, and the selective emission performance of the sample was evaluated using radiative efficiency as the criterion. The results demonstrate that the emission of substrate could not be neglected unless the coating thickness would be larger than the penetration depth, which is around 100 μm. The selective emission peak of the Er203 coating occurs at 1550 nm, matching well with the GaSb cells. However, the radiative efficiency is not larger than that of the SiC emitter, because the non-convertible emission of 1.725-5 μm accounts for a large proportion of the total radiation power, especially at high temperature. Effective suppression of this band emission is essential to the improvement of the radiation efficiency of the emitter.

文摘The author surveys a few examples of boundary layers for which the Prandtl boundary layer theory can be rigorously validated.All of them are associated with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for Newtonian fluids equipped with various Dirichlet boundary conditions(specified velocity).These examples include a family of(nonlinear 3D) plane parallel flows,a family of(nonlinear) parallel pipe flows,as well as flows with uniform injection and suction at the boundary.We also identify a key ingredient in establishing the validity of the Prandtl type theory,i.e.,a spectral constraint on the approximate solution to the Navier-Stokes system constructed by combining the inviscid solution and the solution to the Prandtl type system.This is an additional difficulty besides the wellknown issue related to the well-posedness of the Prandtl type system.It seems that the main obstruction to the verification of the spectral constraint condition is the possible separation of boundary layers.A common theme of these examples is the inhibition of separation of boundary layers either via suppressing the velocity normal to the boundary or by injection and suction at the boundary so that the spectral constraint can be verified.A meta theorem is then presented which covers all the cases considered here.
