This was done to improve temperature simulation over and in a saline lake and to test the contributions of salinity effects on various water properties via sensitivity experiments. The modified lake scheme consists of the lake module in the CLM model,which is the land component of the WRF-CLM model. The Great Salt Lake(GSL) in the USA was selected as the study area. The simulation was performed from September 3,2001 to September 30,2002. Our results show that the modif ied WRF-CLM model that includes the lake scheme considering salinity effects can reasonably simulate temperature over and in the GSL. This model had much greater accuracy than neglecting salinity effects,particularly in a very cold event when that effect alters the freezing point. The salinity effect on saturated vapor pressure can reduce latent heat flux over the lake and make it slightly warmer. The salinity effect on heat capacity can also make lake temperature prone to changes. However,the salinity effect on thermal conductivity was found insignificant in our simulations.展开更多

In this work, a universal and effective model of FAIMS spectral peak profile has been proposed by introducing ion trajectory and loss height. With this model, the influence of the structure of ion drift tube, dispersion voltages, compensation voltages, and carrier gas flow rate on the FAIMS spectral peak characteristics like peak shape, full width at half maximum and peak height is analyzed and discussed. The results show that the influence of different factors on the FAIMS spectral peak profile can be qualitatively described by the model which agrees with the experimental data.展开更多

The circuit achieves a temperature-independent reference current by a proper combination current of two first-order temperature-compensation current references, which exploit the temperature characteristics of integrated poly2 resistors and the 1- V transconductance characteristics of MOSFET operating in the subthreshold region. The circuit, designed with the 1 st silicon 0.35 μm standard CMOS logic process technology, exhibits a stable current of about 2.25 μA with much low temperature coefficient of 3 × 10^-4μA/℃ in the temperature range of-40-150 ℃ at 1 V supply voltage, and also achieves a better power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) over a broad frequency. The PSRR is about -78 dB at DC and remains -42 dB at the frequency higher than 10 MHz. The maximal process error is about 6,7% based on the Monte Carlo simulation. So it has good process compatibility.展开更多

Morphological characteristics of joint surface were quantified by statistical and textural parameters. By the contrast of these parameters between both sides of each coupled joint, the following conclusions are drawn. The upper and lower surfaces of coupled joints have approximately equal values of Sp(maximum height of joint surface), Sa(arithmetic mean height of joint surface) and Sq(root mean square height of joint surface), but the Ssk(skewness of the height distribution of joint surface) values of the two surfaces of a coupled joint are different, one is positive while the other is negative. The Saj(auto-correlation length) parameter values of both surfaces of each coupled joint are quite close, and the S^(texture aspect ratio) values have the same situation to the Sal parameter, but the same parameters of different surfaces have big differences which illustrates its own characteristics of each joint. The two surfaces of each coupled joint have similar values of θp (mean profile angle) which can be used to deduce the value of θp each other.展开更多

First domino strokes the next and the wave of falling dominoes propagates. The purpose of this work is to investigate wave speed dependence on various domino parameters as the number of elements and the distance between dominoes and their dimensions. Theoretical examination of falling dominoes process is to create the mathematical model of the process and compare between the calculations and experimental results. An experiment with using of the speed camera was made. The dominoes of three different types of material were used. For theoretical investigation of the problem, the model [1] was used. The program for computer calculations was written. Time of a dominoes row falling was calculated without taking friction between neighbours. The calculation results show that the speed of falling dominoes reaches its constant value. This stable velocity depends on the geometric parameters of dominoes and the surface friction between dominoes but does not depend on the mass of dominoes.展开更多

At the same time, the forming limit of material is researched under different de/brmation conditions. Through experiments, the paper obtains stress-strain curve under different deformation temperatures and strain rates.

Combining with finite element simulation results of hot stamping by the commercial software AUTOFORM, transfer path of load and matching law of strength, the paper determines the design criteria and forming process requirements of parts manufactured by hot stamping. Through setting different process parameters, such as punch velocity and friction coefficient, and blank shape, the paper finds that process parameters and blank shape have an essential effect on the quality of parts.展开更多

By this technology, we can observe the nanoscale pore and crack shape of coal surface, and measure some structural parameters. Different metamorphic grades produce different feature of surface microscopic structure of coal. This paper analyzes the surface microscopic structure of different metamorphic grade coal by AFM. The results show that the coal surface microstructure has a trend from rough to smooth with the increasing of metamorphic grade. The low rank coals contain large or medium pores and the high rank coals contain micro pores. The values of surface morphology characteristic parameters (Sq and Sa) nonlinearly decrease with the increasing coal rank. That is, the coal surface becomes smoother during coalification.展开更多

This method comprises three steps. The first step is to build the numerical models for the whole measuring procedure of laser altimetry, construct digital elevation models for surfaces with different topographic parameters, and calculate return waveforms. The second step is to analyze the simulated return waveforms to obtain their characteristics parameters, summarize the effects of the topographic parameter variations on the characteristic parameters of simulated return waveforms, and analyze the observed return waveforms of laser altimeters to acquire their characteristic parameters at the same time. The last step is to match the characteristic parameters of the simulated and observed return waveforms, and deduce the topographic parameters within the laser footprint. This method can be used to retrieve the topographic parameters within the laser footprint from the observed return waveforms of spaceborne laser altimeters and to get knowledge about the surface altitude distribution within the laser footprint other than only getting the height of the surface encountered firstly by the laser beam, which extends laser altimeters' function and makes them more like radars.展开更多

In light of the results of B-modes power spectrum from BICEP2 and using the based ACDM, a constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r = 0.20-0.05+0.07 (68% C.L.) can be obtained, however, this result is in apparent tension with the limit on standard inflation models from the recent PLANCK measurement, r 〈 0.11 (95% C.L.). Herein we review the recent progress on the cosmological studies after BICEP2 and discuss on different ways of reconciling the tension between PLANCK and BICEP2 data. We will discuss possible modifications on the standard cosmological model, such as including the running of scalar spectral index or other cosmological parameters correlated with inflationary cosmological parameters, or tilting the primordial power spectrum at large scales by introducing a cut off which can be predicted by bouncing cosmology. We will also comment on another possibility of generating extra B-modes of CMB polarization, namely by a non-zero polarization rotation angle during its transferring from the last scattering surface.展开更多

The results showed a clear difference between sparrowhawks and common buzzards in their flight altitudes and speeds, and in the wind conditions they encountered. Common buzzards had higher flight altitudes and were more selective of wind. Flight altitude was negatively related to the wind speed, which was most pronounced for common buzzards. Sparrowhawks had higher mean air- and cross-country speeds than common buzzards. Air- speed was negatively related, whereas ground and cross-country speeds were positively related to the tailwind component for both raptors. The differences between sparrowhawks and buzzards could to a large degree be explained by a larger dependence on thermal soaring among the common buzzards; a strategy associated with selectivity for favourable thermal and wind conditions during migratory flight. An additional important explanation for the interspecific differences was the habit of the sparrowhawks to combine migratory flight with hunting for prey, which makes it prone to fly at lower altitudes and use flapping flight to a much larger degree than common buzzards which do not forage during their migratory passage of the Falsterbo Peninsula [Current Zoo- logy 60(5): 670-679, 2014].展开更多

The results showed a clear difference between sparrowhawks and common buzzards in their flight altitudes and speeds, and in the wind conditions they encountered. Common buzzards had higher flight altitudes and were more selective of wind. Flight altitude was negatively related to the wind speed, which was most pronounced for common buzzards. Sparrowhawks had higher mean air- and cross-country speeds than common buzzards. Air- speed was negatively related, whereas ground and cross-country speeds were positively related to the tailwind component for both raptors. The differences between sparrowhawks and buzzards could to a large degree be explained by a larger dependence on thermal soaring among the common buzzards; a strategy associated with selectivity for favourable thermal and wind conditions during migratory flight. An additional important explanation for the interspecific differences was the habit of the sparrowhawks to combine migratory flight with hunting for prey, which makes it prone to fly at lower altitudes and use flapping flight to a much larger degree than common buzzards which do not forage during their migratory passage of the Falsterbo Peninsula [Current Zoo- logy 60(5): 670-679, 2014].

文摘The gas-sensitive film coated π-phase-shifted long-period fiber grating(LPFG),consisting of two same long-period fiber gratings cascaded by a regular fiber with length of half of the grating period,is proposed for gas sensing.The sensitivity of the sensor is defined by the change rate of the transmission at specific wavelength with respect to the film refractive index.The qualitative and numerical analyses show that to get a high sensitivity,the optimal coupling strength of each long-period fiber grating is √2 π/4.With this coupling strength,the longer the grating is,the higher sensitivity the sensor has.By choosing appropriate grating period,a high sensitivity for the film with a certain refractive index and thickness can be attained.
