Measures for the Optimization of Subgrade and Pavement Design in the Reconstruction and Expansion of Highways

In comparison to the construction of modern highway engineering,several of China’s early pavement construction concerns,such as pavement collapse,are rather clear.Limited by historical and technical factors,the subgrade and pavement design for highways lacks scientificity,thus inducing potential safety problems in the operation.In order to comprehensively improve the subgrade and pavement design as well as ensure the quality and safety of highway engineering projects,this paper takes the reconstructed and expanded highway projects as research subjects and focuses on proposing optimization measures for the subgrade and pavement design of reconstructed and expanded highways,so as to provide adequate reference.

Residual index for measurement configuration optimization in robot kinematic calibration

To improve the efficiency and accuracy of kinematic calibration,the selection of measurement configurations is an important issue.In previous research,optimal measurement configurations mainly are selected by maximizing observability indices.However,the traditional observability indices only focus on the identification efficiency of the error parameters,while the purpose of robot kinematic calibration is to improve accuracy.To solve the inconsistency of the purpose between the observability index and calibration,the concept of the residual index to represent the residual distribution of the end effector after robot kinematic calibration with the measurement noise is proposed.Based on the quadratic form minimization of residuals,this article defines a specific residual index,O^(r),which is dimensionless and strictly better with the increase of measurement configurations.The indices are used to select measurement configurations in the kinematic calibration of a 5-DOF 2UPU/SP-RR hybrid robot,and the calibration results show that the proposed residual index is better than the traditional indices in the accuracy and stability of the end effector residual.

Diurnal Variation of Soil CO2 Efflux and Its Optimal Measuring Time-window of Temperate Meadow Steppes in Western Songnen Plain, China

In order to study the diurnal variation of soil CO2 effiux from temperate meadow steppes in Northeast China, and determine the best time for observation, a field experiment was conducted with a LI-6400 soil CO2 flux system under five typical plant communi- ties （Suaeda glauca （Sg）, Chloris virgata （Cv）, Puecinellia distans （Pd）, Leymus chinensis （Lc） and Phragmites australis （Pa）） and an alkali-spot land （As） at the meadow steppe of western Songnen Plain. The results showed that the diurnal variation of soil CO2 effiux exhibited a single peak curve in the growing season. Diurnal maximum soil respiration （Rs） often appeared between 1 1：00 and 13：00, while the minimum occurred at 21：00-23：00 or before dawn. Air temperature near the soil surface （Ta） and soil temperature at 10 cm depth （Tlo） exerted dominant control on the diurnal variations of soil respiration. The time-windows 7：00-9：00 could be used as the optimal measuring time to represent the daily mean soil CO2 effiux at the Cv, Pd, Lc and Pa sites. The daily mean soil CO2 effiux was close to the soil COz effiux from 15：00 to 17：00 and the mean of 2 individual soil CO2 effiux from 15：00 to 19：00 at the As and Sg sites, respectively. During nocturnal hours, negative soil CO2 fluxes （CO2 downwards into the soil） were frequently observed at the As and Sg sites, the magnitude of the negative CO2 fluxes were 0.10-1.55 gmol/（m2.s） and 0.10-0.69 gmol/（m2.s）at the two sites. The results im- plied that alkaline soils could absorb CO2 under natural condition, which might have significant implications to the global carbon budget accounting.

Joint remote preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown state via non-maximally entangled channels

We firstly present a novel scheme for deterministic joint remote state preparation of an arbitrary five-qubit Brown state using four Greenberg-Horme-Zeilinger （GHZ） entangled states as the quantum channel. The success probability of this scheme is up to 1, which is superior to the existing ones. Moreover, the scheme is extended to the generalized case where three-qubit and four-qubit non-maximally entangled states are taken as the quantum channel. We simultaneously employ two common methods to reconstruct the desired state. By comparing these two methods, we draw a conclusion that the first is superior to the second-optimal positive operator-valued measure only taking into account the number of auxiliary particles and the success probability.

A method for automated development of model and fragility inventories of nonductile reinforced concrete buildings

The nonductile reinforced concrete building(NDRCB)stock-typically,pre-1974 structures in the U.S.-is a well-known high-risk group for seismic hazards.Prior studies indicate that there are approximately 1500 NDRCBs in Los Angeles.Through various ordinances,the owners are currently required to choose between demolition and,when appropriate,seismic retrofitting.Because fulfilling these ordinances will take decades,the potential risk of major losses will persist.In this study,a method for automated development of structural analysis models and damage fragilities for non-ductile moment-resisting frames is established.This capability enables seismic risk assessment at a regional scale using relatively limited building metadata and the era-specific seismic design code.The approach is used first to develop archetypal models in OpenSees,verified through static pushover and nonlinear time-history analyses against prior detailed studies.Fragility curves for discrete damage states are developed through a probabilistic seismic demand model.Additional investigations are carried out to consider the influence of soil-structural interaction effects and to determine the most suitable seismic intensity measures to quantify the seismic damage levels of NDRCB frames.The sensitivity of the proposed modeling method to variations/uncertainties in building configurations and properties is also examined through parametric studies.The method is limited to a particular subcategory of NDRBCs-namely,moment-resisting frames-but extensions to other types appear straightforward.

Spatial and temporal distribution of acetochlor in sediments and riparian soils of the Songhua River Basin in northeastern China

The Songhua River Basin is a burgeoning agricultural area in the modern times in China. Particularly in recent years, increasing chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been applied with the development of agricultural production. However, the situation of non- point source pollution （NSP） from agricultural production in this basin is still obscure. In order to solve the problem, the occurrence and distribution of acetochlor in sediments and riparian soils of the Songhua River Basin before rain season and after rain season were investigated. In addition, total organic carbon was analyzed. The result showed that the concentration of acetochlor ranged from 0.47 to 11.76 μg/kg in sediments and 0.03 to 709.37 μg/kg in riparian soils. During the high flow period in 2009, the mean concentration was 4.79 μg/kg in sediments and 0.75 μg]kg in riparian soils, respectively. Similarly, the mean concentration was 2.53 μg/kg in sediments and 61.36μg/kg in riparian soils, during the average flow period in 2010. There was a significant correlation between the concentration of acetochlor and total organic carbon in surface sediments. Moreover, the distribution of acetochlor in sediments of the Songhua River was significantly correlated to land use and topography of the watershed. The investigated data suggested that the concentration of acetochlor in the Songnen Plain and the Sanjiang Plain was higher than that in the other areas of the basin, and riparian buffering zones in these areas bad been destroyed by human activities. The optimal agricultural measures to alleviate the contamination of pesticides should be adopted, including controlling agricultural application of acetochlor and ecological restoration of riparian buffering strips.

Prefect Protection of Quantum-Enhanced Metrology from Dephasing Noise

One of the main obstacles for quantum-enhanced metrology is that the estimation accuracy enhanced by non-classical states is likely to be obliterated by noises. Here, we consider a scenario of phase estimation suffering from pure dephasing noise which is taken into account after the phase parameter being imprinted, and propose a scheme to effectively protect the quantum enhancement from both correlated and uncorrelated dephasing sources by performing a rotation operation prior to the noise. By invoking the Fisher information approach, we strictly prove that a π/2 rotation is the ideal one which can completely resist the influence of the phase noise for all real symmetric pure states and the optimal measurement approaching the ultimate sensitivity set by quantum Cramér–Rao bound is presented.Additionally, we numerically study the availability of the scheme with arbitrary angle rotation for different probe states and show that our scheme will still robust for general symmetric pure states even with non-ideal rotation operation.

Quantum Parameter Estimation: From Experimental Design to Constructive Algorithm

In this paper we design the following two-step scheme to estimate the model parameter ω0 of the quantum system: first we utilize the Fisher information with respect to an intermediate variable v = cos(ω0 t) to determine an optimal initial state and to seek optimal parameters of the POVM measurement operators; second we explore how to estimate ω0 from v by choosing t when a priori information knowledge of ω0 is available. Our optimal initial state can achieve the maximum quantum Fisher information. The formulation of the optimal time t is obtained and the complete algorithm for parameter estimation is presented. We further explore how the lower bound of the estimation deviation depends on the a priori information of the model.

Optimal Transportation for Generalized Lagrangian

This paper deals with the optimal transportation for generalized Lagrangian L = L（x, u, t）, and considers the following cost function： c（x, y） = inf x（0）=x x（1）=y u∈U∫0^1 L（x（s）, u（x（s）, s）, s）ds, where U is a control set, and x satisfies the ordinary equation x（s） = f（x（s）, u（x（s）, s））.It is proved that under the condition that the initial measure μ0 is absolutely continuous w.r.t. the Lebesgue measure, the Monge problem has a solution, and the optimal transport map just walks along the characteristic curves of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation：Vt（t, x） ＋ sup u∈U = 0,V（0, x） = Φ0（x）.
