Stability Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Additive Mixed-Precision Runge-Kutta Methods

Additive Runge-Kutta methods designed for preserving highly accurate solutions in mixed-precision computation were previously proposed and analyzed.These specially designed methods use reduced precision for the implicit computations and full precision for the explicit computations.In this work,we analyze the stability properties of these methods and their sensitivity to the low-precision rounding errors,and demonstrate their performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency.We develop codes in FORTRAN and Julia to solve nonlinear systems of ODEs and PDEs using the mixed-precision additive Runge-Kutta(MP-ARK)methods.The convergence,accuracy,and runtime of these methods are explored.We show that for a given level of accuracy,suitably chosen MP-ARK methods may provide significant reductions in runtime.

Fast Determination of Phenanthrene in Soil by Gas Chroma- tography-Mass Spectrometry Using Chemometric Resolution and Standard Addition Method

A method for fast determination of the component in complex samples by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） was developed and used for quantitative analysis of phenanthrene in soils. In the method, window independent component analysis （WICA） was used for resolving the mass spectrum and non-negative im- mune algorithm （NNIA） was employed for obtaining the chromatographic profile. Therefore, spectral and chroma- tographic information of a specific component can be obtained from the measured GC-MS data of overlapping and high background. Six soil samples collected from different places were analyzed. The tedious pretreatments in pre- paring the samples and the elution in the separation were simplified for speeding up the analysis. Due to the com- plexity of the matrix, standard addition method was adopted for the final quantification. The applicability of the method was validated with a spiked sample and the results of the six samples are reasonable.

Effect of the chlortetracycline addition method on methane production from the anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater

Effects of antibiotic residues on methane production in anaerobic digestion are commonly studied using the following two antibiotic addition methods：（1） adding manure from animals that consume a diet containing antibiotics, and（2） adding antibiotic-free animal manure spiked with antibiotics. This study used chlortetracycline（CTC） as a model antibiotic to examine the effects of the antibiotic addition method on methane production in anaerobic digestion under two different swine wastewater concentrations（0.55 and 0.22 mg CTC/g dry manure）. The results showed that CTC degradation rate in which manure was directly added at 0.55 mg CTC/g（HSPIKE treatment） was lower than the control values and the rest of the treatment groups. Methane production from the HSPIKEtreatment was reduced（p 〈 0.05） by 12% during the whole experimental period and 15% during the first 7 days. The treatments had no significant effect on the pH and chemical oxygen demand value of the digesters, and the total nitrogen of the0.55 mg CTC/kg manure collected from mediated swine was significantly higher than the other values. Therefore, different methane production under different antibiotic addition methods might be explained by the microbial activity and the concentrations of antibiotic intermediate products and metabolites. Because the primary entry route of veterinary antibiotics into an anaerobic digester is by contaminated animal manure, the most appropriate method for studying antibiotic residue effects on methane production may be using manure from animals that are given a particular antibiotic, rather than adding the antibiotic directly to the anaerobic digester.

Application of artificial neural network to calculation of solitary wave run-up

The prediction of solitary wave run-up has important practical significance in coastal and ocean engineering, but the calculation precision is limited in the existing models. For improving the calculation precision, a solitary wave run-up calculation model was established based on artificial neural networks in this study. A back-propagation （BP） network with one hidden layer was adopted and modified with the additional momentum method and the auto-adjusting learning factor. The model was applied to calculation of solitary wave run-up. The correlation coefficients between the neural network model results and the experimental values was 0.996 5. By comparison with the correlation coefficient of 0.963 5, between the Synolakis formula calculation results and the experimental values, it is concluded that the neural network model is an effective method for calculation and analysis of solitary wave ran-up.

A new method of binary addition scheme with massive use of non—linear material b

The limitations in electronics in arithmetic, algebraic & logic processing are well known. Very high speed performance (above GHz) are not expected at all in conventional electronic mechanism. To achieve high speed performance we may think on the introduction of optics instead of electronics for information, processing and computing. Non-linear optical material is a successful candidate in this regard to play a major role in the optically controlled switching systems and therefore in all-optical parallel computation these materials can show a very good potential aspect. In this paper, we have proposed a new method of an optical half adder as well as full adder circuit for binary addition using non-linear and linear optical materials.

Explicit Analytical Solutions of Radial Permeable Power Rate Flow

The research of different kinds of permeable non-Newtonian fluid flow is increasing day by day owing to the development of science,technology and production modes.It is most common to use power rate equation to describe such flows.However,this equation is nonlinear and very difficult to derive explicit exact analytical solutions.Generally,people can only derive approximate solutions with numerical methods.Recently,an advanced separating variables method which can derive exact analytical solutions easier is developed by Academician CAI Ruixian（the method of separating variables with addition）.It is assumed that the unknown variable may be indicated as the sum of one-dimensional functions rather than the product in the common method of separating variables.Such method is used to solve the radial permeable power rate flow unsteady nonlinear equations on account of making the process simple.Four concise（no special functions and infinite series） exact analytical solutions is derived with the new method about this flow to develop the theory of non-Newtonian permeable fluid,which are exponential solution,two-dimensional function with time and radius,logarithmic solution,and double logarithmic solution,respectively.In addition,the method of separating variables with addition is developed and applied instead of the conventional multiplication one.It is proven to be promising and encouraging by the deducing.The solutions yielded will be valuable to the theory of the permeable power rate flow and can be used as standard solutions to check numerical methods and their differencing schemes,grid generation ways,etc.They also can be used to verify the accuracy,convergency and stability of the numerical solutions and to develop the numerical computational approaches.
