The function of the modified elastic light scattering spectrum is regarded as a function of wave number factor, Q=2λ-1sin(θ/2). The modified spectrum has a constant oscillation period with its frequency proportional to the average diameter of cell nuclei. To the same average diameter, the different relative refractive indexes of epithelial cell nuclei only induce the horizontal shift of the spectra. Both the oscillation frequency and the horizontal shift are quantified by the fast Fourier transform on the modified spectra. The average diameter can be figured out through the peak frequency divided by the value of the refractive index of the surrounding medium. The phase angle of the peak frequency has an approximate linear relationship with the relative refractive index of epithelial cell nuclei.展开更多

Moreover, Fourier-based approaches are typically used for investigating these procedures. Nonetheless, Fourier analysis assumes the signal as stationary which is unlikely during dynamic contractions. As an alternative method, wavelet-based treatments do not assume this pattern and may be considered as more appropriate for joint time-frequency domain analysis. Based on the previous statements, the purpose of the present study was to compare the application of Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to assess muscle fatigue in dynamic exercise of a 1-km of cycling (time-trial condition). The results of this study indicated that CWT and STFT analyses have provided similar fatigue estimates (slope) (p> 0.05). However, CWT application represents lesser dispersion (p< 0.05) for vastus medialis (189.9 ± 82.1 for STFT vs 148.6 ± 60.2 for CWT) and vastus lateralis (151.6 ± 49.6 for STFT vs 103.5 ± 27.9 for CWT). In conclusion, despite the EMG signal did not change (p> 0.05) according to different methods, it is important to note that these responses seem to show greater values for CWT compared to STFT for 2 superficial muscles. Thereby, we are capable of considering CWT as a reliable and useful method to take into consideration when non-stationary or oscillating exercise models are evaluated.展开更多

To examine the spatial and temporal structures of the inertia-gravity waves and identify the wave types, three wavenumber-frequency spectral analysis methods(Fourier analysis, cross-spectral analysis, and wavelet cross-spectrum analysis)were applied. During the storm, inertia-gravity waves appeared at heights of 10-14 km, with periods of 80-100 min and wavelengths of 40-50 km. These waves were generated over a mountain and propagated eastward at an average speed of 15-20 m s^(-1). Meanwhile, comparison between the reconstructed inertia-gravity waves and accumulated precipitation showed there was a mutual promotion process between them. The Richardson number and Scorer parameter were used to demonstrate that the eastward-moving inertia-gravity waves were trapped in an effective atmospheric ducting zone with favorable reflector and critical level conditions, which were the primary causes of the long lives of the waves. Finally, numerical experiments to test the sensitivity to terrain and diabatic heating were conducted, and the results suggested a cooperative effect of terrain and diabatic heating contributed to the propagation and enhancement of the waves.展开更多

For this reason, we have used an array of ADCP and a pressure sensor to measure wave parameters and pressure inside and outside of the surf zone during the dry and rainy period in the beaches of Galerazamba and Manzanillo del Mar (both dissipative and eroded beaches) located in the Colombian Caribbean coast. Based on these measurements, we have carried out a spectral analysis in order to identify the frequency components that characterize the wave and its energy; thus, we identified the characteristic frequencies of iufragravity waves to finally filter the infragravity signal on each beach in different seasonal periods. Among the results of the Welch spectrum applied to surface elevation time series, we found that, the frequencies' energy of the sea-swell band decreases due to bottom friction and wave breaking as the wave approaches the shore, while the frequencies' energy of the infragravity band increases significantly. In addition, for the wavelet analysis, we could observe how the energy of the infragravity band, especially the lowest frequencies gain energy as the waves approaches the coast. Furthermore, based on the infragravity wave obtained from the extreme wave event registered during the field campaign we can conclude that the contribution of this signal is important in the erosion problems presented in the beaches of Galerazamba and Manzanillo del Mar. Finally, these results show the need to realize other studies that allow us to understand deeply, the role of infragravity waves on the morphological changes that occurs in these beaches.展开更多

Otoliths demonstrated species-specific characteristics with noticeable differences in overall shape, margin and anterior region among species. With species divergence, otoliths get thinner following further developed rostrum and anti-rostrum. Interspecies variation in otolith could associate with experienced different temperature and water column. The discriminant analysis presented a high classification accuracy of 96.6%, which confirms the inter-specific distinction of otolith shape and enable the species identification.展开更多

Agricultural and forest wastes are the leading organic waste streams that can be transformed into useful alternative energy resources. Pyrolysis is one of the technologies for converting biomass into more valuable products, such as bio-oil, bio-char, and syngas. This work investigated the production of bio-oil through batch pyrolysis technology. A fixed bed pyrolyzer was designed and fabricated for bio-oil production. The major components of the system include a fixed bed reactor, a condenser, and a bio-oil collector. The reactor was heated using a cylindrical biomass external heater. The pyrolysis process was carried out in a reactor at a pressure of 1atm and a varying operating temperature of 150˚C, 250˚C, 350˚C to 450˚C for 120 minutes. The mass of 1kg of coconut fiber was used with particle sizes between 2.36 mm - 4.75 mm. The results show that the higher the temperature, the more volume of bio-oil produced, with the highest yield being 39.2%, at 450˚C with a heating rate of 10˚C/min. The Fourier transformation Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy analysis was used to analyze the bio-oil components. The obtained bio-oil has a pH of 2.4, a density of 1019.385 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, and a calorific value of 17.5 MJ/kg. The analysis also showed the presence of high-oxygenated compounds;carboxylic acids, phenols, alcohols, and branched oxygenated hydrocarbons as the main compounds present in the bio-oil. The results inferred that the liquid product could be bestowed as an alternative resource for polycarbonate material production.展开更多

Preliminary results reveal the differences in the frequency response.Accordingly,Fourier type methods can be effectively used as low cost and viable solutions to identify and detect faults in underground cables.展开更多

Two kinds of motions are applied for calculating the dynamic yaw stability derivatives CNr and CNβ. The first one relates to a lateral translation and, separately, to a yaw rotation. The second one consists of a combined translational and rotational motion. To determine dynamic yaw stability derivatives, the simulation of an unsteady flow with a bird model showing a harmonic motion is performed. The flow solution for each time step is obtained by solving unsteady Euler equations based on a finite volume approach for a small reduced frequency. Then, an evaluation of unsteady forces and moments for one cycle is conducted using harmonic Fourier analysis. The results of the dynamic yaw stability derivatives for both simulations of the model show a good agreement.展开更多

According to the resul...In this paper, Fourier and Wavelet transformation were adopted to analyze shape char- acteristics, with twelve simple shapes and two types of second phases from real microstructure mor- phology. According to the results of Fast Fourier transformation (FFT), the Fourier descriptors can be used to characterize the shape from the aspects of the first eight Normalization amplitudes, the number of the largest amplitudes to inverse reconstruction, similarity of shapes and profile roughness. And the Diepenbroek Roughness was rewritten by Normalization amplitudes of FFT results. Moreover, Sum Square of Relative Errors (SSRE) of Wavelet transformation (WT) signal sequence, including approximation signals and detail signals, was introduced to evaluate the simi- larity and relative orientation among shapes. As a complement to FFT results, the WT results can retain more detailed information of shapes including their orientations. Besides, the geometric sig- natures of the second phases were extracted by image processing and then were analyzed by means of FFT and WT.展开更多

Our motivation comes from the Planetary and Lunar Ephemeris DE430 by JPL/NASA, which was created in April 2013,and is reported to be the most accurate lunar ephemeris today using the data from Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory(GRAIL). Therefore, the residuals after fitting the model have reduced owing to improvement in the libration models, and the free librations embedded in the Euler angles have also improved. We use Fourier analysis to extract the approximate frequencies from DE430 and then a quadratic interpolation method is used to determine higher accuracy frequencies. With the frequencies,the linear least-squares fitting method is employed to fit the lunar physical librations to DE430. From this analysis we identified the three modes of free physical librations, and estimated the amplitudes as 1.471′′in longitude, 0.025′′in latitude and 8.19′′× 3.31′′for the wobble, with the respective periods of1056.16, 8806.9 and 27262.99 d. Since the free librations damp with time, they require recent excitation or a continuous stimulating mechanism in order to sustain.展开更多

The function of the modified elastic light scattering spectrum is regarded as a function of wave number factor, Q=2λ-1sin(θ/2). The modified spectrum has a constant oscillation period with its frequency proportional to the average diameter of cell nuclei. To the same average diameter, the different relative refractive indexes of epithelial cell nuclei only induce the horizontal shift of the spectra. Both the oscillation frequency and the horizontal shift are quantified by the fast Fourier transform on the modified spectra. The average diameter can be figured out through the peak frequency divided by the value of the refractive index of the surrounding medium. The phase angle of the peak frequency has an approximate linear relationship with the relative refractive index of epithelial cell nuclei.

Moreover, Fourier-based approaches are typically used for investigating these procedures. Nonetheless, Fourier analysis assumes the signal as stationary which is unlikely during dynamic contractions. As an alternative method, wavelet-based treatments do not assume this pattern and may be considered as more appropriate for joint time-frequency domain analysis. Based on the previous statements, the purpose of the present study was to compare the application of Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to assess muscle fatigue in dynamic exercise of a 1-km of cycling (time-trial condition). The results of this study indicated that CWT and STFT analyses have provided similar fatigue estimates (slope) (p> 0.05). However, CWT application represents lesser dispersion (p< 0.05) for vastus medialis (189.9 ± 82.1 for STFT vs 148.6 ± 60.2 for CWT) and vastus lateralis (151.6 ± 49.6 for STFT vs 103.5 ± 27.9 for CWT). In conclusion, despite the EMG signal did not change (p> 0.05) according to different methods, it is important to note that these responses seem to show greater values for CWT compared to STFT for 2 superficial muscles. Thereby, we are capable of considering CWT as a reliable and useful method to take into consideration when non-stationary or oscillating exercise models are evaluated.

Pyrolysis is one of the technologies for converting biomass into more valuable products, such as bio-oil, bio-char, and syngas. This work investigated the production of bio-oil through batch pyrolysis technology. A fixed bed pyrolyzer was designed and fabricated for bio-oil production. The major components of the system include a fixed bed reactor, a condenser, and a bio-oil collector. The reactor was heated using a cylindrical biomass external heater. The pyrolysis process was carried out in a reactor at a pressure of 1atm and a varying operating temperature of 150˚C, 250˚C, 350˚C to 450˚C for 120 minutes. The mass of 1kg of coconut fiber was used with particle sizes between 2.36 mm - 4.75 mm. The results show that the higher the temperature, the more volume of bio-oil produced, with the highest yield being 39.2%, at 450˚C with a heating rate of 10˚C/min. The Fourier transformation Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy analysis was used to analyze the bio-oil components. The obtained bio-oil has a pH of 2.4, a density of 1019.385 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, and a calorific value of 17.5 MJ/kg. The analysis also showed the presence of high-oxygenated compounds;carboxylic acids, phenols, alcohols, and branched oxygenated hydrocarbons as the main compounds present in the bio-oil. The results inferred that the liquid product could be bestowed as an alternative resource for polycarbonate material production.

文摘In recent decades,low-frequency(LF)experiments based on the forced-oscillation(FO)method have become common practice in many rock physics laboratories for measuring the elastic and anelastic properties of rocks.However,the use of the electronic displacement sensors in traditional acquisition systems of FO devices such as conventional capacitive transducers or strain gauges seriously limits both the efficiency and productivity of LF measurements,and,due to the limited contact area of the displacement sensors with a sample under test,increases the requirements for sample homogeneity.In this paper,we present the first results obtained in the development of a new laboratory method elaborated to measure the elastic properties of solids.The method is a further development of the FO method where traditional data acquisition is replaced by acquisition based on fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing(DAS)technology.The new method was tested in a laboratory study using two FO setups designed for measurements under uniaxial and confining pressures.The study was carried out on a sample made from polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)and an aluminium standard,first under uniaxial pressure at FO frequencies of 1,10,30,60 and 100 Hz,and then under confining pressure at an FO frequency of 1 Hz.Both uniaxial and confining pressures were equal to 10 MPa,and the strain in the PMMA sample in all measurements did not exceed 4×10^(-8).The performance of DAS acquisition was compared with the measurements conducted at a strain of 1×10^(-6) using the traditional FO method based on the use of semiconductor strain gauges and the ultrasonic method.The results of the DAS measurements are in good agreement with the FO measurements carried out using semiconductor strain gauges and with the literature data.
文摘An analysis of underground power cables is performed using Fourier analysis with the objective of detecting fault and average life of the cables.Three types of cables are used in this experiment:a normal cable,a shorted cable, and a cable with holes.The impedance in each case is computed and Fourier transformation is applied so that the resulting impedance magnitude and impedance phase can be examined in the frequency domain.Various windowing techniques are applied to the experimental data to eliminate any interference.Fourier analysis is then applied to the impedance data calculated from both the sending end voltage and differential voltage.This analysis reveals differences in the frequency response of the three different types of a cable and can eventually be used as a measure for fault detection. Preliminary results reveal the differences in the frequency response.Accordingly,Fourier type methods can be effectively used as low cost and viable solutions to identify and detect faults in underground cables.
文摘Dynamic yaw stability derivatives of a gull bird are determined using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) method. Two kinds of motions are applied for calculating the dynamic yaw stability derivatives CNr and CNβ. The first one relates to a lateral translation and, separately, to a yaw rotation. The second one consists of a combined translational and rotational motion. To determine dynamic yaw stability derivatives, the simulation of an unsteady flow with a bird model showing a harmonic motion is performed. The flow solution for each time step is obtained by solving unsteady Euler equations based on a finite volume approach for a small reduced frequency. Then, an evaluation of unsteady forces and moments for one cycle is conducted using harmonic Fourier analysis. The results of the dynamic yaw stability derivatives for both simulations of the model show a good agreement.

文摘In this paper, Fourier and Wavelet transformation were adopted to analyze shape char- acteristics, with twelve simple shapes and two types of second phases from real microstructure mor- phology. According to the results of Fast Fourier transformation (FFT), the Fourier descriptors can be used to characterize the shape from the aspects of the first eight Normalization amplitudes, the number of the largest amplitudes to inverse reconstruction, similarity of shapes and profile roughness. And the Diepenbroek Roughness was rewritten by Normalization amplitudes of FFT results. Moreover, Sum Square of Relative Errors (SSRE) of Wavelet transformation (WT) signal sequence, including approximation signals and detail signals, was introduced to evaluate the simi- larity and relative orientation among shapes. As a complement to FFT results, the WT results can retain more detailed information of shapes including their orientations. Besides, the geometric sig- natures of the second phases were extracted by image processing and then were analyzed by means of FFT and WT.

文摘The Moon’s physical librations have been extensively studied, and elaborate researches have been developed for the purpose of deriving accurate modes of free librations. Our motivation comes from the Planetary and Lunar Ephemeris DE430 by JPL/NASA, which was created in April 2013,and is reported to be the most accurate lunar ephemeris today using the data from Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory(GRAIL). Therefore, the residuals after fitting the model have reduced owing to improvement in the libration models, and the free librations embedded in the Euler angles have also improved. We use Fourier analysis to extract the approximate frequencies from DE430 and then a quadratic interpolation method is used to determine higher accuracy frequencies. With the frequencies,the linear least-squares fitting method is employed to fit the lunar physical librations to DE430. From this analysis we identified the three modes of free physical librations, and estimated the amplitudes as 1.471′′in longitude, 0.025′′in latitude and 8.19′′× 3.31′′for the wobble, with the respective periods of1056.16, 8806.9 and 27262.99 d. Since the free librations damp with time, they require recent excitation or a continuous stimulating mechanism in order to sustain.
