It is shown that, the noise can make over fluctuating potential barrier for a system only driven by a the particles escape over the fluctuating potential barrier in some circumstances; but in other circumstances, it can not. If the noise can make the particle escape over the fluctuating potential barrier, the mean first passage time (MFPT) can display the phenomenon of multi-resonant-activation. For this phenomenon, there are two kinds of resonant activation to appear. One is resonant activation for the MFPTs as the function of the flipping rates of the fluctuating potential barrier; the other is that for the MFPTs as the functions of the transition rates of the multi-state noise.展开更多

This is due to the advancement of technologies equipped in majority of the mobile phones which makes the devices become more capable of supporting the learning and teaching activities. Mobile learning (m-learning) is a learning tool which can be run on mobile devices. It can be considered as an enhancement to the electronic learning (e-learning). M-learning overcomes several limitations of e-learning especially in term of mobility. It provides more independent way of learning whereby learners can use the application to do the learning activities at anytime and any place. However, as with other learning and teaching applications, applications to be developed for mobile learning must also be developed based on certain learning theories and guidelines in order for them to be effective as well as usable. Therefore, in this paper, the development process of a mobile learning course content application called Mobile System Analysis and Design (MOSAD) as a revision tool will be shared and its testing's conduct and results will also be presented and discussed. MOSAD was developed with the content of a topic from the System Analysis and Design (SAD) course conducted at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). A heuristic test involving 5 experts in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) were conducted after the first version of MOSAD was completed to strengthen its functionality and usability, followed by a Post Test Quasi Experimental Design which was conducted to 116 UTP second year students who took the SAD course to test the effectiveness and usability of MOSAD after it was revised. As a result from the post test, the students who had used MOSAD (66 out of the 116 students) as their revision tool for answering ten quiz questions obtained a mean score of 7.7576 as compared to 5.160 obtained by the other group of students (50 out of the 116 students) who used traditional methods of revision. Besides, usability test which tested on consistency, leamability, flexibility, minimal action and minimal memory load of MOSAD gave results above 3.5 for each metric based on the rating of 1 to 5. Thus, both results indicate that MOSAD is effective and usable as a revision tool for the higher education students.展开更多

In this framework, the tracking target point of the following train is moving forward with its leading train. This paper focuses on the energy saving tracking control of two successive trains in MBS. Nonlinear programming method is used to optimize the energy-saving speed trajectory of the following train. The real-time location of the leading train could be integrated into the optimization process. Due to simplicity, it can be used for online implementation. The feasibility and effectiveness are verified through simulation. The results show that the new method is efficient on energy saving even when disturbances present.展开更多

This article describes the method of methane drainage used in longwall 2 in seam 506. In Poland, coal seams are frequently mined in difficult conditions of very high methane hazard. Under such situations, methane is drained by means of parallel ventilation headings. This paper shows the influence of a specific ventilation system on the drainage efficiency at longwall 2 in seam 506. At this longwall, measurements of methane emission and the efficiency of drained methane were conducted. They consisted in gauging methane concentration, air velocity, absolute air pressure and the amount of methane removed via a drainage system. Experimental data were used to estimate the variations in absolute methane-bearing capacity, ventilation air methane and most importantly, to gauge the efficiency of methane drainage.展开更多

For 4-12-1 I N02.8A centrifugal ventilation fan, the characteristic operating function of its mixed ventilation system is calculated from ventilation quantity and total pressure in the actual working status. At cul-de-sac of the reference coalmine, the evolution of methane concentration is a compound Poisson process and equivalent to a Brownian motion for Gaussian distributed increments. Solution of stochastic differential equation driven by mixed ventilation system, with dilution equation for its closure, provides parameters of mine ventilation system for keeping methane concentration within the permissible limit at cul-de-sac of the reference coalmine. These results intend to shed some light on application of blowing-sucking mixed ventilation systems in underground workings, and establish stochastic trends to consider methane control in coalmines.展开更多

So the focus is on new operating and organizational models of sustainable building processes in the architecture, engineering and construction sectors, which are based on three-dimensional models of digital technology BIM (building information modeling). It is intended as a human activity that improves building workflows and, through software and IFACs (industry foundation classes), manages flexibility, coordinates and optimizes operational choices on time, economic, and environmental sustainability parameters. The goal is a new interoperable building process that involves designers, contractors and businesses from programming to lifecycle building and maintenance through the integrated project delivery of the building. Dynamic architectures, interactive with efficient technological and constructive systems, are integrated with innovative products of complex nature and bi-directional performance, engineered, with energy storage and renewable resources. The methodologies are based, above all, on the adoption of BIM technologies with the digital project manager and the use of robotic technological tools. Digitization is applied for the design and construction of architectural and infrastructure artifacts, in interaction with intelligent, adaptive, nanotechnical and user-friendly materials and climate. The results are aimed at efficient buildings with user comfort and safety, accuracy, and risk monitoring with remote monitoring, highlighting VDC (visual design construction) in CID (computational intelligent design).展开更多

In other words, there does not exist a quantum cloning machine that can clone all quantum states. However, it is possible to clone given quantum states under certain conditions, for instance, k distinct pure states |ψ1〉, |ψ2),....,|ψk) can be cloned simultaneously if and only if they are orthogonal. This paper discusses the existence and construction of simultaneous cloning machines for mixed states. It is proved that k distinct mixed states Pl,P2 Pk of the n-dimensional quantum system Cn can be cloned simultaneously, that is, there exists a quantum channel Ф on .Mn ⊙ Mn and a state ∑ in Mn, such that Ф(ρi ⊙∑) = ρi ⊙ ρi for all i, if and only if ρiρj = 0 (i ≠j). Also, the constructing procedure of the desired simultaneous cloning machine is given.展开更多
