Full-domain collaborative deployment method of multiple interference sources and evaluation of its deployment effect

This paper realizes the full-domain collaborative deployment of multiple interference sources of the global satellite navigation system(GNSS)and evaluates the deployment effect to enhance the ability to disturb the attacker and the capability to defend the GNSS during navigation countermeasures.Key evaluation indicators for the jamming effect of GNSS suppressive and deceptive jamming sources are first created,their evaluation models are built,and their detection procedures are sorted out,as the basis for determining the deployment principles.The principles for collaboratively deploying multi-jamming sources are developed to obtain the deployment structures(including the required number,structures in demand,and corresponding positions)of three single interference sources required by collaboratively deploying.Accordingly,simulation and hardware-in-loop testing results are presented to determine a rational configuration of the collaborative deployment of multi-jamming sources in the set situation and further realize the full-domain deployment of an interference network from ground,air to space.Varied evaluation indices for the deployment effect are finally developed to evaluate the deployment effect of the proposed configuration and further verify its reliability and rationality.

Examination of the Effective Factors on the Multiple Sclerosis Diseases

This study was an attempt to examine the effective factors of the Multiple Sclerosis diseases. The participants of the study were selected from among a total number of 45 men and women who were treated in a health center in Azarbayegan and Damavand in Iran. In order to study, the researchers applied various procedures to collect the data of the study. The participants were interviewed and filled out the questionnaires. After categorizing and classifying the collected information and data, it was processed and analyzed and the results are found. To test the research questions, a one-sample T-test was used to analyze the data. The role of hypo vitamin D as a possible risk factor for multiple sclerosis was reviewed. First, it was emphasized that hypo vitamin could be only one of the risk factors for multiple sclerosis and that numerous other environmental and genetic risk factors appear to interact and combine to trigger the disease. The main aim of this study was to examine the effective factors of Multiple Sclerosis diseases. The methodology of this research was to test the research questions;one-sample T-test was used to analyze the data. The findings of this study revealed that the factors of gender, cold weather, vitamin D deficiency, and age (between 30 - 59) were effective on the Multiple Sclerosis diseases.

Synergistic effects of multiple driving factors on the runoff variations in the Yellow River Basin,China

River runoff plays an important role in watershed ecosystems and human survival,and it is controlled by multiple environmental factors.However,the synergistic effects of various large-scale circulation factors and meteorological factors on the runoff on different time-frequency scales have rarely been explored.In light of this,the underlying mechanism of the synergistic effects of the different environmental factors on the runoff variations was investigated in the Yellow River Basin of China during the period 1950-2019 using the bivariate wavelet coherence(WTC)and multiple wavelet coherence(MWC)methods.First,the continuous wavelet transform(CWT)method was used to analyze the multiscale characteristics of the runoff.The results of the CWT indicate that the runoff exhibited significant continuous or discontinuous annual and semiannual oscillations during the study period.Scattered inter-annual time scales were also observed for the runoff in the Yellow River Basin.The meteorological factors better explained the runoff variations on seasonal and annual time scales.The average wavelet coherence(AWC)and the percent area of the significant coherence(PASC)between the runoff and individual meteorological factors were 0.454 and 19.89%,respectively.The circulation factors mainly regulated the runoff on the inter-annual and decadal time scales with more complicated phase relationships due to their indirect effects on the runoff.The AWC and PASC between the runoff and individual circulation factors were 0.359 and 7.31%,respectively.The MWC analysis revealed that the synergistic effects of multiple factors should be taken into consideration to explain the multiscale characteristic variations of the runoff.The AWC or MWC ranges were 0.320-0.560,0.617-0.755,and 0.819-0.884 for the combinations of one,two,and three circulation and meteorological factors,respectively.The PASC ranges were 3.53%-33.77%,12.93%-36.90%,and 20.67%-39.34%for the combinations one,two,and three driving factors,respectively.The combinations of precipitation,evapotranspiration(or the number of rainy days),and the Arctic Oscillation performed well in explaining the variability in the runoff on all time scales,and the average MWC and PASC were 0.847 and 28.79%,respectively.These findings are of great significance for improving our understanding of hydro-climate interactions and water resources prediction in the Yellow River Basin.

Multiple reversals of vortex ratchet effects in a superconducting strip with inclined dynamic pinning landscape

Using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau formalism,we investigate the multiple reversals of ratchet effects in an unpatterned superconducting strip by the tilted dynamic pinning potential.In the case of collinear sliding potential and Lorentz force,vortices are always confined in the channels induced by sliding potential.However,due to the inclination angle of sliding pinning potential with respect to the Lorentz force,vortices could be driven out of the channels,and unexpected results with multiple reversals of vortex rectifications are observed.The mechanism of multiple reversals of vortex rectifications is explored by analyzing different vortex motion scenarios with increasing ac current amplitudes.The multiple reversals of transverse and longitudinal ratchet effects can be highly controlled by ac amplitude and dynamic pinning velocity.What's more,at certain large current the ratchet effect reaches strongest within a wide range of pinning sliding velocity.

Analysis of localization effect in blue-violet light emitting InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells with different well widths

Four blue-violet light emitting InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well（MQW） structures with different well widths are grown by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. The carrier localization effect in these samples is investigated mainly by temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements. It is found that the localization effect is enhanced as the well width increases from 1.8 nm to 3.6 nm in our experiments. The temperature induced PL peak blueshift and linewidth variation increase with increasing well width, implying that a greater amplitude of potential fluctuation as well as more localization states exist in wider wells. In addition, it is noted that the broadening of the PL spectra always occurs mainly on the low-energy side of the PL spectra due to the temperature-induced band-gap shrinkage, while in the case of the widest well, a large extension of the spectral curve also occurs in the high energy sides due to the existence of more shallow localized centers.

Novel Ni_(3)S_(4)/NiS/NC composite with multiple heterojunctions synthesized through space-confined effect for high-performance supercapacitors

The construction of heterojunctions in composite materials to optimize the electronic structures and active sites of energy materials is considered to be the promising strategy for the fabrication of high-performance electrochemical energy devices.In this paper,a one-step,easy processing and cost-effective technique for generating composite materials with heterojunctions was successfully developed.The composite containing Ni_(3)S_(4),NiS,and N-doped amorphous carbon(abbreviated as Ni_(3)S_(4)/NiS/NC)with multiple heterojunction nanosheets are synthesized via the space-confined effect of molten salt interface of recrystallized NaCl.Several lattice matching forms of Ni_(3)S_(4)with cubic structure and NiS with hexagonal structure are confirmed by the detailed characterization of heterogeneous interfaces.The C–S bonds are the key factor in realizing the chemical coupling between nickel sulfide and NC and constructing the stable heterojunction.Density functional theory calculations further revealed that the electronic interaction on the heterogeneous interface of Ni_(3)S_(4)/NiS can contribute to high electronic conductivity.The heterogeneous interfaces are identified to be the good electroactive region with excellent electrochemical performance.The synergistic effect of abundant active sites,the enhanced kinetic process and valid interface charge transfer channels of Ni_(3)S_(4)/NiS/NC multiple heterojunction can guarantee high reversible redox activity and high structural stability,resulting in both high specific capacitance and energy/power densities when it is used as the electrode for supercapacitors.This work offers a new avenue for the rational design of the heterojunction materials with improved electrochemical performance through space-confined effect of NaCl.

Experimental study on the accumulative effect of multiple pulses on acceleration sensor

Intentional electromagnetic interference is a serious threat to the safety of electronic devices. Multiple electromagnetic pulses will be coupled and transmitted to electronic devices through the cables.Accumulative effects are generated, which make it easier for damage to occur in the electronic devices. In this article, the working principle of micro-silicon acceleration sensors is introduced. The accumulative effects of multiple pulses on acceleration sensors is studied by a large number of injection experiments.The accumulation trends of multiple pulses with different pulse numbers and intervals are analyzed. The damaged structures inside abnormal sensor amplifiers were observed via optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the accumulative effect is strengthened with increased pulse number or decreased pulse interval, and the threshold voltage for multiple pulses on the acceleration sensor decreases. The threshold voltage for a single pulse is 321.57 V. When the pulse interval is 1 μs and the pulse number is 5, the threshold voltage for multiple pulses is 163.42 V,which is reduced by 49.12% compared with a single pulse. These results provide a reference for the damage design of electromagnetic pulse weapons.

Helium-hydrogen synergistic effects on swelling in in-situ multiple-ion beams irradiated steels

The development of reliable fusion energy is one of the most important challenges in this century.The accelerated degradation of structural materials in fusion reactors caused by neutron irradiation would cause severe problems.Due to the lack of suitable fusion neutron testing facilities,we have to rely on ion irradiation experiments to test candidate materials in fusion reactors.Moreover,fusion neutron irradiation effects are accompanied by the simultaneous transmutation production of helium and hydrogen.One important method to study the He-H synergistic effects in materials is multiple simultaneous ion beams(MSIB)irradiation that has been studied for decades.To date,there is no convincing conclusion on these He-H synergistic effects among these experiments.Recently,a multiple ion beam in-situ transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analysis facility was developed in Xiamen University(XIAMEN facility),which is the first triple beam system and the only in-running in-situ irradiation facility with TEM in China.In this work,we conducted the first high-temperature triple simultaneous ion beams irradiation experiment with TEM observation using the XIAMEN facility.The responses to in-situ triple-ion beams irradiation in austenitic steel 304L SS and ferritic/martensitic steel CLF-1 were studied and compared with the results in dual-and single-ion beam(s)irradiated steels.Synergistic effects were observed in MSIB irradiated steels.Helium was found to be critical for cavity formation,while hydrogen has strong synergistic effect on increasing swelling.

Reiner-Rivlin nanomaterial heat transfer over a rotating disk with distinct heat source and multiple slip effects

The thermodynamic features of the Reiner-Rivlin nanoliquid flow induced by a spinning disk are analyzed numerically.The non-homogeneous two-phase nanofluid model is considered to analyze the effect of nanoparticles on the thermodynamics of the Reiner-Rivlin nanomaterial,which also includes a temperature-dependent heat source(THS)and an exponential space-dependent heat source(ESHS).Further,the transfer of heat and mass is analyzed with velocity slip,volume fraction jump,and temperature jump boundary conditions.The finite difference method-based routine is used to solve the complicated differential equations formed after using the von-Karman similarity technique.Limiting cases of the present problem are found to be in good agreement with benchmarking studies.The relationship of the pertinent parameters with the heat and mass transport is scrutinized using correlation,which is further evaluated based on the probable error estimates.Multivariable models are fitted for the friction factor at the disk and heat transport,which accurately predict the dependent variables.The Reiner-Rivlin nanoliquid temperature is influenced comparatively more by the ESHS than by THS.The Nusselt number is decreased by the ESHS and THS,whereas the friction factor at the disk is predominantly decremented by the wall roughness aspect.The increment in the non-Newtonian characteristic of the liquid leads more fluid to drain away in the radial direction far from the disk compared with the fluid nearby the disk in the presence of the centrifugal force during rotation.The increased thermal and volume fraction slip lowers the nanoliquid temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction profiles.

The value of radionuclide bone imaging on monitoring chemotherapeutic effects of multiple myeloma

Objective： To investigate the value of radionuclide whole-body bone imaging on monitoring chemotherapeutic ~ffects for multiple myeloma （MM）. Methods： Sixty patients were included. Twenty nine cases received CTD （thalidomide 100-200 rag/d; cyclophosphamide 200-300 mg/m2od, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; and dexamethasone 20-40 rag/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks）; Thirty cases received VAD （vincristine 0.4 mg/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; adriamycin 10 mg/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; dexamethasone 40 rag/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks）. Radionuclide bone imagings were performed in all patients before chemotherapy, six months, twelve months and eighteen months after chemotherapy. The correlation of chemothera- peutic effects between CTD and VAD were analyzed. Results： One hundred and seventy nine bone lesions were visualized by bone scintigraphy before CTD treatment. Eighteen months after CTD chemotherapy, it was observed by bone scintigraphy that 39/179 （21.78%） lesions disappeared, 112/179 （62.57%） improved, and 281179 （15.64%） had no change. One hundred and ninety one bone lesions were showed by bone imaging before VAD treatment, 361191 （18.84%） lesions disappeared, eighteen months after chemotherapy, 103/191 （53.92%） improved, and 52/191 （27.22%） had no change. The significant dif- ference was observed in locations of MM induced bone lesions treated with CTD （H = 8.23, P 〈 0.05） and VAD （H = 11.18, P 〈 0.05）. A significant chemotherapeutic sensitivity in detecting MM induced lesions in ribs was found compared with other bone lesions. The chemotherapeutic effect of CTD was statistically significant than that of VAD （U = 2.17, P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Radionuclide whole-body bone imaging has great value in monitoring chemotherapeutic effects for MM.

MULTIPLE SCATTERING THEORY OF EFFECTIVE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INHOMOGENEOUS MEDIA

The rate of hydrothermal reaction of SiO_2 and/or A1_2O_3 in the system of CaO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-H_2O at 200℃ and the factors which influence the reactions are investigated by determining the reaction ratio.The rate of reactions depends on the reactive activities of raw materials, initial composition of mixture and relative activity of SiO_2 and A12O3. The hydrothermal reaction can be accelerated by sodium hydroxide,in the case of silica,which has low activity, this is quite obvious.

Research on the Construction of a Fully-participatory Extracurricular Learning Platform with Multiple Linkage Effects

In the existing research at home and abroad,the construction of extracurricular learning platform is still only focused on solving the problems of curriculum learning itself.At the same time,there are no cases of multiple linkage effects,including integrating alumni resources,promoting the construction of alumni association,promoting students'internship and employment,strengthening ties with enterprises and so on.On the basis of the original function of the alumni management system,this paper expands the sections and adds the main body of students to enrich the functions of the platform.This paper constructs a fully-participatory extracurricular learning platform with multiple linkage effect,which provides a reference for other majors inside and outside the school to establish extracurricular learning platform.

Preparation and Effectiveness of Slow-release Polymeric Fertilizer Containing Multiple Nutrients Special for Maize

Slow-release polymeric fertilizer containing multiple nutrients was synthesized through condensation polymerization from raw materials of homemade low-molecular urea-formaldehyde and the compounds of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and phosphoric acid. Adjustment of the proportion of raw materials makes the ingredients of the fertilizer are N:P_2O_5:K_2O =1:0.75:0.13, which satisfy the nutritional requirement for maize growth. Field-experiment results prove that the yield of maize increases by 16.56% when using the polymeric fertilizer special for maize alone, by 56.51% when applying the polymeric fertilizer special for maize plus farmyard manure, and by 49.11% when applying the SV fertilizer special for maize plus manure.

Biologically-Effective-Dose of Tolpyralate and Tolpyralate plus Atrazine for Control of Multiple-Herbicide-Resistant Waterhemp [<i>Amaranthus tuberculatus</i>(Moq.) J. D. Sauer] in Corn

The biologically-effective-dose of tolpyralate, a new 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibitor, applied alone or tank-mixed with atrazine, for the control of multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) J. D. Sauer] has not been studied in corn. Seven field experiments were conducted during a three-year period (2018, 2019, 2020) in Ontario, Canada with MHR waterhemp to determine: 1) the dose-response of MHR waterhemp to tolpyralate and tolpyralate plus atrazine, and 2) the relative efficacy of tolpyralate and tolpyralate plus atrazine to post-emergence corn herbicides, dicamba/atrazine (500/1000 g·ha−1) and mesotrione + atrazine (100 + 280 g·ha−1). Tolpyralate + atrazine (120 + 4000 g·ha−1) caused 13% corn injury at one site two weeks after application (WAA), which was observed as transient foliar chlorosis and bleaching of new leaves. At 12 WAA, the predicted dose of tolpyralate for 50% control of MHR waterhemp at Cottam and on Walpole Island was 8 and 2 g·ha−1, respectively;the predicted dose of tolpyralate + atrazine for 50% control of MHR waterhemp at Cottam and on Walpole Island was 5 + 160 and 1 + 21 g·ha−1, respectively. The difference in predicted dose at the two sites is likely due to differences in MHR density and resistance profile. Applied at the registered rate, tolpyralate (30 g·ha−1) and tolpyralate + atrazine (30 + 1000 g·ha−1) controlled MHR waterhemp similar to dicamba/atrazine and mesotrione + atrazine across sites. This study demonstrates that tolpyralate + atrazine, applied POST, provides season-long control of MHR waterhemp in corn.

Interpreting Dose-Response Relation for Exposure to Multiple Sound Impulses in the Framework of Immunity

Hearing loss is a common military health problem and it is closely related to exposures to impulse noises from blast explosions and weapon firings. In a study based on test data of chinchillas and scaled to humans (Military Medicine, 181: 59-69), an empirical injury model was constructed for exposure to multiple sound impulses of equal intensity. Building upon the empirical injury model, we conduct a mathematical study of the hearing loss injury caused by multiple impulses of non-uniform intensities. We adopt the theoretical framework of viewing individual sound exposures as separate injury causing events, and in that framework, we examine synergy for causing injury (fatigue) or negative synergy (immunity) or independence among a sequence of doses. Starting with the empirical logistic dose-response relation and the empirical dose combination rule, we show that for causing injury, a sequence of sound exposure events are not independent of each other. The phenomenological effect of a preceding event on the subsequent event is always immunity. We extend the empirical dose combination rule, which is applicable only in the case of homogeneous impulses of equal intensity, to accommodate the general case of multiple heterogeneous sound exposures with non-uniform intensities. In addition to studying and extending the empirical dose combination rule, we also explore the dose combination rule for the hypothetical case of independent events, and compare it with the empirical one. We measure the effect of immunity quantitatively using the immunity factor defined as the percentage of decrease in injury probability attributed to the sound exposure in the preceding event. Our main findings on the immunity factor are: 1) the immunity factor is primarily a function of the difference in SELA (A- weighted sound exposure level) between the two sound exposure events;it is virtually independent of the magnitude of the two SELA values as long as the difference is fixed;2) the immunity factor increases monotonically from 0 to 100% as the first dose is varied from being significantly below the second dose, to being moderately above the second dose. The extended dose-response formulation developed in this study provides a theoretical framework for assessing the injury risk in realistic situations.

The interaction between multiple bubbles and the free surface

The flow is assumed to be potential, and a boundary integral method is used to solve the Laplace equation for the velocity potential to investigate the shape and the position of the bubble. A 3D code to study the bubble dynamics is developed, and the calculation results agree well with the experimental data. Numerical analyses are carried out for the interaction between multiple bubbles near the free surface including in-phase and out-of-phase bubbles. The calculation result shows that the bubble period increases with the decrease of the distance between bubble centres because of the depression effect between multiple bubbles. The depression has no relationship with the free surface and it is more apparent for out-of-phase bubbles. There are great differences in dynamic behaviour between the in-phase bubbles and the out-of-phase bubbles due to the depression effect. Furthermore, the interaction among eight bubbles is simulated with a three-dlmensional model, and the evolving process and the relevant physical phenomena are presented. These phenomena can give a reference to the future work on the power of bubbles induced by multiple charges exploding simultaneously or continuously.

A NEW ANALYZING APPROACH TO MODELING SLOTTED MULTIPLE ACCESS SYSTEMS

In this paper, the analyzing approaches proposed by Zhao Dongfeng, et al.(1997) have been extensively studied. The average cyclic times of the slotted multiple access systems are analyzed by using the average cycle method. Analytic formulae for mean values of a successful period and a colliding period and an idle period are derived. The upper bounds of the system throughput with capture effect and collision resolution are provided. Finally, the simulation results of the slotted multiple access channels are given.
