ADAPTIVE NULL PHASE-SHIFT POLARIZATION FILTER

The estimation of clutter polarization is significant in virtual polarization filtering. This paper proposes variable step size Least Mean Square error (LMS) algorithm to estimate clutter po-larization. The adaptive recursive function is set up based on double polarization receiving signal model. By choosing desired response signal properly,the received data are estimated. The result of estimation is used for Null Phase-Shift instantaneous Polarization Filter (NPSPF) design and target’s amplitude and phase compensation. Algorithm’s tracking performance is discussed in detail. The simulation results are consistent with the above analysis,and the clutter suppression is effective.

Parameters effects on spiking deconvolution of land seismic data

Spiking deconvolution is a standard Wiener Levinson algorithm. The autocorrelation of the design time gate is computed and there is a specified taper on the design gate before the autoeorrelation is done. The standard equations are set up, prewhitening is added to the zero lag value of the autocorrelation and the matrix is inverted to derive the spiking operator. In this study, the authors describe a technique for performing spiking deconvolution on prestack time migration （PSTM） data, to test the effect of operator length and percent prewhitening in spiking deconvolution and apply spiking deconvolution trace by trace, with operator lengths 15ms, 10 ms and 5 ms when percent prewhitening 0% , 40ms and 60ms for percent prewhitening 1%. The results show when prewhitening is 0% the shorter operator gives better results, but when value of prewhitening is bigger than 0% it is better to use longer operator lengths.

An Improved Markov Chain Model Based on Autocorrelation and Entropy Techniques and Its Application to State Prediction of Water Resources

According to the relationships among state transition probability matrixes with different step lengths, an improved Markov chain model based on autocorrelation and entropy techniques was introduced. In the improved Markov chain model, the state transition probability matrixes can be adjusted. The steps of the historical state of the event, which was significantly related to the future state of the event, were determined by the autocorrelation technique, and the impact weights of the event historical state on the event future state were determined by the entropy technique. The presented model was applied to predicting annual precipitation and annual runoff states, showing that the improved model is of higher precision than those existing Markov chain models, and the determination of the state transition probability matrixes and the weights is more reasonable. The physical concepts of the improved model are distinct, and its computation process is simple and direct, thus, the presented model is sufficiently general to be applicable to the prediction problems in hydrology and water resources.

AUTOCORRELATIONS OF l-SEQUENCES WITH CERTAIN SHIFTS

In this paper, the autocorrelations of maximal period Feedback with Carry Shift Register sequences （l-sequences） are discussed. For an l-sequence a with connection integer q = p^e（e ≥ 2） and period T = p^t-1（p- 1）, and for any integer i, 1 ≤ i ≤ e/2, by calculating the number of certain sets, it is shown that the autocorrelation of a with shift τ= kT/2p^i is Ca（τ） =（-1）^k-1 T/p^2i-1, where 1 ≤ k ≤ 2p^i - 1, and gcd（k,2p^i） = 1. This result shows there do exist some shifts such that the autocorrelations of l-sequences are high although most autocorrelations are low. Such result also holds for the decimations of l-sequences.

Li-Young Lee＇s ＂I＂ Poetry： In Quest for His Self as a Diaspora

As one of the representative contemporary Asian American poets, Li-Young Lee in his two poetry collections entitled Rose and The Cify in Which 1Love You, recuperates his fragmented family history of immigration, and reconstructs a dynamic relationship with remembrance of the past that writes about him and defines his sense of self. This paper from the multicultural perspective argues that understanding the past through understanding his godlike father, Lee not only negotiates the formation of his subjectivity and identity, but also establishes a spiritual origin and belonging not merely with his ethnic communities but with all the immigrants as well. The paper finds that the strategy he employs in his articulation of his self is marked by his excellent execution of poetic epiphany, and metonymic cannibalism.

Key Enabling Techniques and Deployment of 120Gb/s Long-Haul Optical Transmission in Backbone Networks

The explosive increase in data traffic requires networks to provide higher capacity and long-haul transmission capabilities.This paper introduces new results on high-order modulation and efficient Digital Signal Processing algorithms to reduce various transmission limitations in coherent receiving systems.Polarization Division Multiplexed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying(PDM-QPSK)is deployed to reach high bit rates,provides modified digital clock recovery,and allows BER-Aided Constant Modulus Algorithm(BA-CMA)equalising.A Soft Decision-Forward Error Correction(SD-FEC)algorithm and a joint scheme with timing recovery and adaptive equaliser are used to achieve better performance.A compact coherent transceiver is also developed.These techniques have been applied in the largest 100 G Optical Transport Network(OTN)deployment in the world,the backbone expansion project for Phase 3 of the China Education and Research Network(CERNET),with a total transmission length of 10 000 km.

Photoacoustic Doppler flowmetry of carbon particles flow using an autocorrelation method

In order to measure the axial flowing velocity of carbon particle suspension with particle diameter of tens of micrometers, the photoacoustic Doppler(PAD) frequency shift is calculated based on a series of individual A scans using an autocorrelation method. A 532 nm pulsed laser with repetition rate of 20 Hz is used as a pumping source to generate photoacoustic signal. The photoacoustic signals are detected using a focused piezoelectric(PZT) ultrasound transducer with central frequency of 5 MHz. The suspension of carbon particles is driven by a syringe pump. The complex photoacoustic signal is calculated by the Hilbert transformation from time-domain photoacoustic signal, and then it is autocorrelated to calculate the Doppler frequency shift. The photoacoustic Doppler frequency shift is calculated by averaging the autocorrelation results of some individual A scans. The advantage of the autocorrelation method is that the time delay in autocorrelation can be defined by user, and the requirement of high pulse repetition rate is avoided. The feasibility of the proposed autocorrelation method is preliminarily demonstrated by quantifying the motion of a carbon particle suspension with flow velocity from 5 mm/s to 60 mm/s. The experimental results show that there is an approximately linear relation between the autocorrelation result and the setting velocity.

Tuning the translational freedom of DNA for high speed AFM

Direct observation is arguably the preferred way to investigate the interactions between two molecular complexes. With the development of high speed atomic force microscopy （AFM）, it is becoming possible to observe directly DNA-protein interactions with relevant spatial and temporal resolutions. These interactions are of central importance to biology, bionanotechnology, and functional biologically inspired materials. As in all microscopy studies, sample preparation plays a central role in AFM observation and minimal perturbation of the sample is desired. Here, we demonstrate the ability to tune the interactions between DNA molecules and the surface to create an association strong enough to enable high-resolution AFM imaging while also providing sufficient translational freedom to allow the relevant protein-DNA interactions to take place. Furthermore, we describe a quantitative method for measuring DNA mobility, while also determining the individual forces contributing to DNA movement. We found that for a weak surface association, a significant contribution to the movement arises from the interaction of the AFM tip with the DNA. In combination, these methods enable the tuning of the surface translational freedom of DNA molecules to allow the direct study of a wide range of nucleo-protein interactions by high speed atomic force microscopy.

Wind speed prediction by chaotic operator network based on Kalman Filter

A novel prediction network composed of some chaotic operators is proposed to predict the wind speed series.Training samples are constructed by the theory of phase space reconstruction.Genetic algorithm is adopted to optimize the control parameters of chaotic operators to change the dynamic characteristic of the network to approach to the predicted system.In this way,the dynamic prediction of wind speed series can be completed.The wind acceleration series can also be predicted by the same network.And the prediction results of both series can be fused by Kalman Filter to get the optimal estimation prediction result of the wind speed series,which is superior to the result obtained by each single method.Simulation results show that the prediction network has less computation cost than BP neural network,and it has better prediction performance than BP neural network and autoregressive integrated moving average model.Kalman Filter can improve the prediction performance further.

Global Solutions of Shock Reflection by Wedges for the Nonlinear Wave Equation

When a plane shock hits a wedge head on, it experiences a reflection-diffraction process and then a self-similar reflected shock moves outward as the original shock moves forward in time. In this paper, shock reflection by large-angle wedges for compressible flow modeled by the nonlinear wave equation is studied and a global theory of existence, stability and regularity is established. Moreover, C^0,1 is the optimal regularity for the solutions across the degenerate sonic boundary.

Chaotic generation based on figure-of-eight erbium-doped fiber laser with an optical fiber ring

We experimentally demonstrate the chaotic generation in a figure-of-eight erbium-doped fiber laser (F8L) with an optical fiber ring (OFR). With an appropriate combination of polarization controllers, we find that the fiber laser exhibits period-doubling route to chaos, and the chaotic self-synchronous dynamics has a tendency to be reduced significantly. The experimental results show the tendency is related to the interference and the nonlinear phase shift of light in the optical fiber ring. Meanwhile, the chaotic dynamics is related to the polarization state and pump power.
