Speeding up the construction of high-level undergraduate education and improving the ability of talent training in an all-round way,eliminating nonsensical courses and creating first-rate courses has become one of the important tasks of teaching in higher education. Starting from the standard of first-rate courses,this paper deeply analyzes the reasons for the prevalence of nonsensical courses,and expounds some ways to control nonsensical courses and create first-rate courses.展开更多

The boundary value problem of mean first- passage time (MFPT) of averaged system is formulated and the energy diffusion controlled reaction rate is obtained as the inverse of MFPT. The energy diffusion controlled reaction rate in the classical Kramers bistable potential and in a two-dimensional bistable potential with a heat bath are obtained by using the proposed approach respectively. The obtained results are then compared with those from Monte Carlo simulation of original systems and from the classical Kraraers theory. It is shown that the reaction rate obtained by using the proposed approach agrees well with that from Monte Carlo simulation and is more accurate than the classical Kramers rate.展开更多

Vr-indices show similar trends in the temporal change at different observatories and have simultaneous peak values at the observatories cov- ering a large span geographically, which reveals that the source of geomagnetic disturbances represented by Vr is in the mag- netosphere. Based on the comparison among Vr, Kp and ap, it is found that generally Vr changes linearly with Kp and ap, which means that the rapid changes of magnetic field usually exist together with magnetic disturbances. But there are excep- tions. As Vr can be easily produced by individual observatory in quasi real time and is more sensitive to the variation rate of geomagnetic field rather than the field itself, it can be expected to serve for monitoring or predicting the geomagnetic-induced event in a quick and intuitive way.展开更多

The maximum first derivative plus the maximum value of the double search algorithm is applied on electrocardiogram(ECG) of MIH-BIT Arrhythmia Database to extract R wave. Through the study of algorithm's characteristics and R-wave detection method, data segmentation method is modified to improve the detection accuracy. After segmentation modification, average accuracy rate of 6 sets of short ECG data increase from 82.51% to 93.70%, and the average accuracy rate of 11 groups long-range data is 96.61%. Test results prove that the algorithm and segmentation method can accurately locate R wave and have good effectiveness and versatility, but may exist some undetected problems due to algorithm implementation.展开更多

In the method, a power series that constants can be obtained from response moments (skewness, kurtosis, etc.) is used firstly to map a non-Gaussian structural response into a standard Gaussian process, then mean up-crossing rates, mean clump size and the initial passage probability of a critical barrier level by the original structural response are estimated, and finally, the formula for calculating first failure times is established on the assur^ption that corrected up-crossing rates are independent. An analysis of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom dynamical system excited by a Gaussian model of load not only demonstrates the usage of the proposed method but also shows the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method by comparisons between the present method and other methods such as Monte Carlo simulation and the traditional Gaussian model.展开更多

As the method is based on VanMarcke's approximation, with normalization of the response introduced, the expected decay rates can be evaluated from the second-moment statistics instead of the correlation functions or spectrum density functions of the response of considered structures. Explicit solutions to the second-moment statistics of the response are given. Accuracy, efficiency and usage of the proposed method are demonstrated by the first passage analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) linear systems under two special types of modulated white noise excitations.展开更多
