Passing Through the "Security Bottleneck" Period

This year marks the second year after we entered the new century. On the whole, China is facing a sound international situation and security environment. Two reasons concerned could be mentioned: first, in the past year, the foreign relations of our country developed stably and steadily in several major aspects, without any serious knotty events occurring. The same is basically true in China’s relations

OPTICAL TELEPHONE CORD PASSING THROUGH LONG PIPE WITH SPIRAL FLOW

A new effective technique, useful in telecommunications industry for passing an optical telephone cord attached to a connector through pipeline,has been developed using the spiral flow. Using this technique, the cord could be passed through a straight pipeline 150 meters long and a roll of vinyl tube 50 meters long. However, under the same condition, the cord could not pass through when using the turbulent flow. To obtain a high speed stable spiral flow, a nozzle with an annular slit connected to a conical cylinder was used. A pressurized fluid with no tangential flow was supplied through this slit and the fluid, passing through the conical cylinder, was deformed into spiral flow with the steeper axial velocity distribution compared to that of turbulence pipe flow due to Coanda effect and instability. As a result, the cord was attracted to the axis area of the pipe, which effectively increased the ability for the work of cord passing. This high ability for cord passing is attributed mainly to the reduction of the friction made between the cord and the pipe wall, caused by the deformation to spiral flow.

The plasma target was produced by igniting an electric discharge of hydrogen gas in two-collinear quartz tubes, each of 5 mm in diameter and 78 mm in length, the electrical current even up to kA will flow in two opposite directions in either of the two quartz tubes.

Experimental measurement and numerical modeling of deformation behavior of breast cancer cells passing through constricted microfluidic channels

During the multistep process of metastasis,cancer cells encounter various mechanical forces which make them deform drastically.Developing accurate in-silico models,capable of simulating the interactions between the mechanical forces and highly deformable cancer cells,can pave the way for the development of novel diagnostic and predictive methods for metastatic progression.Spring-network models of cancer cell,empowered by our recently proposed identification approach,promises a versatile numerical tool for developing experimentally validated models that can simulate complex interactions at cellular scale.Using this numerical tool,we presented spring-network models of breast cancer cells that can accurately replicate the experimental data of deformation behavior of the cells flowing in a fluidic domain and passing narrow constrictions comparable to microcapillary.First,using high-speed imaging,we experimentally studied the deformability of breast cancer cell lines with varying metastatic potential(MCF-7(less invasive),SKBR-3(medium-high invasive),and MDA-MB-231(highly invasive)in terms of their entry time to a constricted microfluidic channel.We observed that MDA-MB-231,that has the highest metastatic potential,is the most deformable cell among the three.Then,by focusing on this cell line,experimental measurements were expanded to two more constricted microchannel dimensions.The experimental deformability data in three constricted microchannel sizes for various cell sizes,enabled accurate identification of the unknown parameters of the spring-network model of the breast cancer cell line(MDA-MB-231).Our results show that the identifed parameters depend on the cell size,suggesting the need for a systematic procedure for identifying the size-dependent parameters of spring-network models of cells.As the numerical results show,the presented cell models can simulate the entry process of the cell into constricted channels with very good agreements with the measured experimental data.

Characteristics of rainstorm in Fujian induced by typhoon passing through Taiwan Island

Based on the typhoon track and intensity data and the precipitation data of typhoon in China during 1961–2020,the overall characteristics of the rainstorm in Fujian caused by typhoon passing though Taiwan Island were studied.More than 80 percent of typhoons passing though the Taiwan Island can bring heavy rain to Fujian.There are 1.5 events of typhoon rainstorm in Fujian every year,and the average annual impact days are 3.0.In terms of spatial distribution,the frequency and intensity of cross-island typhoon rainstorm decrease rapidly from the coastal areas of Fujian to the inland areas,and Zherong,Changle and Jiu xianshan stations in the coastal areas are the high value centers.The typhoon paths of cross-island typhoon rainstorm in Fujian are mainly divided into three categories:landing-Fujian type(including landing-Fujian northeast turning,landing-Fujian middle northbound and landing-Fujian south westbound),landing-Guangdong and Zhejiang type and offshore turning type,among which landing-Fujian type typhoon has the most significant influence(only the landing-Fujian type appears the rainstorm of≥50 mm·(24 h);),and the rainstorm intensity,influence range and asymmetrical structure of the rainstorm are the strongest,the most extensive and the most significant in the landing-Fujian middle northbound path.Based on the NCEP reanalysis data,the comparative analysis of the environmental fields causing the difference of precipitation intensity between the two typhoons landing-Fujian middle northbound and landing-Fujian south westbound shows that:To the landing-Fujian middle northbound track,strong wind speed area on the north side of the typhoon center leads to strong onshore winds,in the role of mountain terrain,piedmont has better convergence and very strong deep vertical upward movement,with better moisture conditions,it can send low high-energy water vapor to the middle,the precipitation dynamics and water vapor conditions are significantly stronger than the landing-Fujian south westbound track,resulting in more typhoon heavy rain.

FSI simulation of dynamics of fish passing through a tubular turbine based on the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann coupling scheme

The anadromous fish can pass through turbines of run-of-the-river hydropower stations to reach the downstream watershed, but their mortality is significant because of the complex turbine structure, the fast-rotating runner, and the special flow patterns. Numerical simulations of the dynamics of fish passing are a challenging task, because the fish motion in the turbines involves a strong fluid-structure interaction (FSI). In this paper, the 3-D immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann (IB-LB) coupling scheme is proposed to treat the FSI between the water and the fish. The process of one fish and three fish passing through a tubular turbine is simulated on a graphics processing unit (GPU) platform. The fish motion postures (translation and rotation), the fish body pressure distributions and histories are analyzed, and the results are consistent with the previous studies. This paper presents the IB-LB models, the simulation procedures, the specific treatments, and related results, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the IB-LB coupling scheme in simulating FSI problems and its application prospects in developing fish-friendly turbines.

Turbo Message Passing Based Burst Interference Cancellation for Data Detection in Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems

This paper investigates the fundamental data detection problem with burst interference in massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems. In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.

Glia-to-neuron reprogramming to the rescue?

Over the last two decades,the dogma that cell fate is immutable has been increasingly challenged,with important implications for regenerative medicine.The brea kth rough discovery that induced pluripotent stem cells could be generated from adult mouse fibroblasts is powerful proof that cell fate can be changed.An exciting extension of the discovery of cell fate impermanence is the direct cellular reprogram ming hypothesis-that terminally differentiated cells can be reprogrammed into other adult cell fates without first passing through a stem cell state.

Glaucoma is a multifactorial eye disorder that can cause vision loss and irreversible blindness,affecting individ uals aged 40 to 80 yea rs worldwide.Due to the aging population,it is expected that the number of people affected by glaucoma will surpass 111 million by 2040 as the disease becomes more prevalent.Glaucoma primarily contributes to optic nerve axon loss and the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),subsequently leading to vision impairment.

Relationship between number of passing events and operating parameters in mixed bicycle traffic

This paper investigates the passing events between electric bicycles and conventional bicycles and explores the relationships between passing events and traffic parameters in bicycle facilities.Three exclusive bicycle paths in Nanjing, China,were observed with cameras.Then,the field data including vehicle number,velocity characteristics and passing event features were analyzed in detail.Data analysis and fitting reveal that the speed difference has little impact on the passing event number,as does the bicycle ratio.The Gaussian function can better describe the relationship between the passing event number and bicycle volume （density）.The valid use level of bicycle path width influences the inflexion of the passing events-density fitting curve.The conclusions can be applied for estimating the passing events in mixed bicycle flows and for choosing a suitable width of separate bicycle path.

MPI:大有希望的massage_passing标准

message-passing是一个被广泛应用的并行计算模型,但至今,无论从语法或语义上message-Passing都还没有形成一个标准.并行计算机厂商在提供标准串行语言的同时,提供了各自不同的专有message一passing库,并行程序设计难免依赖于具体的系统和应用,这既限制了可移植性,也限制了听取用户对某些不易获得或对当前的应用不合适的系统的意见。没有一个标准,厂商们非常自然地把他们的专有库的优点视为有竟争力的优势,更加着力与众不同(因而不可移植)。为了应付可移植问题,研究团体已经开发了许多库来收集其它库之间的不同点.

Field experiment of subgrade vibration induced by passing train in a seasonally frozen region of Daqing

The vibration characteristics and attenuation of the subgrade caused by passing trains in a seasonally frozen region of Daqing, China are investigated. Three field experiments were conducted during different times through the year, in normal, freezing and thawing periods, respectively, and the influence of the season, train speed and train type, is described in this paper. The results show that： （1） the vertical component is the greatest among the three components of the measured vibration near the rail track, and as the distance to the railway track increases, the dominant vibration depends on the season. （2） Compared with the vibration in the normal period, the vertical and longitudinal vibrations increase while the lateral vibration decreases in the freezing period. However, in the thawing period, the vertical and longitudinal vibrations decrease, and the lateral vibration increases. （3） As train speeds increase, the subgrade vibration increases. （4） The vibration induced by a freight train is greater than by a passenger train. These observations provide a better understanding of the vibration and dynamic stability of the subgrade and may be useful in developing criteria for railway and building construction in cold regions.

QIM digital watermarkingbased on LDPC code and messagepassingunder scalingattacks

Watermarking system based on quantization index modulation （QIM） is increasingly popular in high payload applications,but it is inherently fragile against amplitude scaling attacks.In order to resist desynchronization attacks of QIM digital watermarking,a low density parity check （LDPC） code-aided QIM watermarking algorithm is proposed,and the performance of QIM watermarking system can be improved by incorporating LDPC code with message passing estimation/detection framework.Using the theory of iterative estimation and decoding,the watermark signal is decoded by the proposed algorithm through iterative estimation of amplitude scaling parameters and decoding of watermark.The performance of the proposed algorithm is closer to the dirty paper Shannon limit than that of repetition code aided algorithm when the algorithm is attacked by the additive white Gaussian noise.For constant amplitude scaling attacks,the proposed algorithm can obtain the accurate estimation of amplitude scaling parameters.The simulation result shows that the algorithm can obtain similar performance compared to the algorithm without desynchronization.

Wind tunnel measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of trains passing each other on a simply supported box girder bridge

The aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains passing each other was investigated on a simply supported box girder bridge,with a span of 32 m,under crosswinds.The bridge and train models,modeled at a geometric scale ratio of 1:30,were used to test the aerodynamic forces of the train,with the help of a designed moving test rig in the XNJD-3 wind tunnel.The effects of wind speed,train speed,and yaw angle on the aerodynamic coefficients of the train were analyzed.The static and moving model tests were compared to demonstrate how the movement of the train influences its aerodynamic characteristics.The results show that the sheltering effect introduced by trains passing each other can cause a sudden change in force on the leeward train,which is further influenced by the wind and running speeds.Detailed analyses related to the effect of wind and train speeds on the aerodynamic coefficients were conducted.The relationship between the change in aerodynamic coefficients and yaw angle was finally described by a series of proposed fitting formulas.

Vector Approximate Message Passing with Sparse Bayesian Learning for Gaussian Mixture Prior

Compressed sensing(CS)aims for seeking appropriate algorithms to recover a sparse vector from noisy linear observations.Currently,various Bayesian-based algorithms such as sparse Bayesian learning(SBL)and approximate message passing(AMP)based algorithms have been proposed.For SBL,it has accurate performance with robustness while its computational complexity is high due to matrix inversion.For AMP,its performance is guaranteed by the severe restriction of the measurement matrix,which limits its application in solving CS problem.To overcome the drawbacks of the above algorithms,in this paper,we present a low complexity algorithm for the single linear model that incorporates the vector AMP(VAMP)into the SBL structure with expectation maximization(EM).Specifically,we apply the variance auto-tuning into the VAMP to implement the E step in SBL,which decrease the iterations that require to converge compared with VAMP-EM algorithm when using a Gaussian mixture(GM)prior.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance with high robustness under various cases of difficult measurement matrices.

Efficient Recovery of Structured Sparse Signals via Approximate Message Passing with Structured Spike and Slab Prior

Due to limited volume, weight and power consumption, micro-satellite has to reduce data transmission and storage capacity by image compression when performs earth observation missions. However, the quality of images may be unsatisfied. This paper considers the problem of recovering sparse signals by exploiting their unknown sparsity pattern. To model structured sparsity, the prior correlation of the support is encoded by imposing a transformed Gaussian process on the spike and slab probabilities. Then, an efficient approximate message-passing algorithm with structured spike and slab prior is derived for posterior inference, which, combined with a fast direct method, reduces the computational complexity significantly. Further, a unified scheme is developed to learn the hyperparameters using expectation maximization(EM) and Bethe free energy optimization. Simulation results on both synthetic and real data demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Aerodynamic performances and vehicle dynamic response of high-speed trains passing each other

Based on the aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics, the aerodynamic performances and vehicle dynamic characteristics of two high-speed trains passing each other on the ground, embankment and bridge are studied. Firstly, a train aerodynamic model and a vehicle dynamic model are established. Through the simulation of the two models, the pressure waves, aerodynamic forces, and vehicle dynamic responses are obtained. Then, the pressure waves and aero- dynamic forces on different foundations are compared. The results show that the variation trends of pressure wave and aerodynamic forces of trains passing each other on different foundations are almost similar. The peak-to-peak differ- ences in pressure wave and aerodynamic force are below 4% and 3% in three cases in open air. Besides, the differences of security indexes, including coefficient of derailment, wheel unloading rate, the wheelset lateral force, and the wheel- rail vertical force, are below 2% among the three cases; the differences of comfort indexes, including the lateral acceleration and the vertical acceleration, are also below 2%. It is concluded that the dynamic performances of trains pass- ing each other are influenced little by different foundations in open air.
