The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was modified to include hail weather events, which completed the modifications necessary to simulate the four most frequent causes of crop yield loss (hail, excessive wet, excessive cold, and excessive dry) associated with soil type in Kansas, USA. At the region level, per hectare yields were simulated for corn, wheat, soybean, and sorghum. We concluded that it was possible to predict crop yields through computer simulation with greater than 93% accuracy. The hail damage model test indicated EPIC could predict hail-soil-induced yield losses reasonably well (R^2 〉 0.6). The investigation of soil type influence on dryland sorghum and wheat production indicated that Wymore silty clay loam soil and Kenorna silt loam produced the highest sorghum yields statistically; Kuma silt loam, Roxbury silt loam, Crete silty clay loam, and Woodson silt soils produced the second highest sorghum yields statistically; and Richfiled silt loam, Wells loam, and Canadian sandy loam produced the lowest sorghum yields. By contrast, wheat production showed less sensitivity to soil type variation. The less sensitive response of wheat yields to the soil type could be largely due to the unconsidered small-scale variability of soil features.展开更多

It employs the two-dimensional particle method, which was used for the flow simulation of a small-scale hydraulic turbine of impulse-type in the prior study. The tip speed ratio 2, defined as the ratio of the runner tip speed to the water stream velocity upstream of the runner, ranges from 0.1 to 0.8. The simulated flow at 2 = 0.5 is confirmed to agree well with the experimentally visualized one. The effect of 2 on the flows inside the rotating cascade as well as around the runner is clarified. The turbine performance, calculated by using the simulated flow, is also highlighted to agree almost with the measurement. These demonstrate that the present simulation method is indeed applicable to the development of open type cross-flow runner of nano-hydraulic turbine utilizing rapid and shallow stream.展开更多

In this paper, two different kinds of spurious signals due to amplitude quantization in DDFSs are exactly formulated in the time domain and detailedly compared in the frequency do- main, and the effects of the DDFS parameter variations on the spurious performance are thoroughly studied. Then the spectral properties and power levels of the amplitude-quantization spurs in the absence of phase-accumulator truncation are emphatically analyzed by waveform estimation and computer simulation, and several important conclusions are derived which can provide theoretical support for parameter choice and spurious performance evaluation in the application of DDFSs.展开更多

In this ...The determination of volume fraction of interracial transition zone (ITZ) is very important for investigating the quantitative relationship between the microstructure and macroscopical property of concrete. In this paper, based on Lu and Torquato's most nearest surface distribution function, a calculating process of volume fraction of ITZ is given in detail according to the actual sieve curve in concrete. Then, quantitative formulas are put forward to measure the influencing factors on the |TZ vol- ume fraction. In order to validate the given model, the volume fractions of ITZ obtained by numerical calculation are compared with those by computer simulation. The results show that the two are in good agreement. The order of the factors influencing the ITZ volume fraction is the ITZ thickness, the volume fraction of aggregate and the maximum aggregate diameter for Fuller gradation in turn. The 1TZ volume fraction obtained from the equal volume fraction (EVF) gradation is always larger than that from the Fuller gradation for a given volume fraction of aggregate.展开更多

Inspired by the method of performing non-unitary operators by the linear combination of unitary operations, we proposed a quantum algorithm for the simulation of the universal single-qubit channel, described by a convex combination of "quasi-extreme" channels corresponding to four Kraus operators, and is scalable to arbitrary higher dimension. We demonstrated the whole algorithm experimentally using the universal IBM cloud-based quantum computer and studied the properties of different qubit quantum channels. We illustrated the quantum capacity of the general qubit quantum channels, which quantifies the amount of quantum information that can be protected. The behavior of quantum capacity in different channels revealed which types of noise processes can support information transmission, and which types are too destructive to protect information. There was a general agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experiments, which strongly supports our method. By realizing the arbitrary quhit channel, this work provides a universally- accepted way to explore various properties of quantum channels and novel prospect for quantum communication.展开更多

In this paper we study this problem from the perspective of solution space coupling. We divide a given difficult random K-SAT formula into two easy sub-formulas and let the two corresponding solution spaces to interact with each other through a coupling field x. We investigate the statistical mechanical property of this coupled system by mean field theory and computer simulations. The coupled system has an ergodicity-breaking (clustering) transition at certain critical value Xd of the coupling field. At this transition point, the mean overlap value between the solutions of the two solution spaces is very close to 1. The mean energy density of the coupled system at its clustering transition point is less than the mean energy density of the original K-SAT problem at the temperature-induced clustering transition point. The implications of this work for designing new heuristic K-SAT solvers are discussed.展开更多
