Should China Allow Couples to Have a Second Child?

China’s family planning policy is back in the spotlight.Guangdong, the country’s most populous province according to the latest population census,has officially applied to the Central Government for permission for it lifting family planning restrictions.If the application is approved,couples in which either the husband or wife is an only child will be allowed to have a second child,according to Zhang Feng, family planning chief in Guangdong.

Conversion of out-of-phase to in-phase order in coupled laser arrays with second harmonics

A novel method for converting an array of out-of-phase lasers into one of in-phase lasers that can be tightly focused is presented.The method exploits second-harmonic generation and can be adapted for different laser arrays geometries.Experimental and calculated results,presented for negatively coupled lasers formed in a square,honeycomb,and triangular geometries are in good agreement.

ON STATE FEEDBACK AND POLE ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECOND ORDER COUPLED SINGULAR DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS IN HILBERT SPACE

State feedback and pole assignment of the second order coupled singular distributed parameter systems are discussed via functional analysis and operator theory in Hilbert space, in which infinite many poles are changed. The solutions of the problem and the constructive expression of the solutions are given by the generalized inverse of bounded linear operator. This research is theoretically important for studying the pole assignment and stabilization of the singular distributed parameter systems.

Nonlinear vibration analysis of a rotor supported by magnetic bearings using homotopy perturbation method

In this paper,the effects of nonlinear forces due to the electromagnetic field of bearing and the unbalancing force on nonlinear vibration behavior of a rotor is investigated.The rotor is modeled as a rigid body that is supported by two magnetic bearings with eightpolar structures.The governing dynamics equations of the system that are coupled nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations(ODEs)are derived,and for solving these equations,the homotopy perturbation method(HPM)is used.By applying HPM,the possibility of presenting a harmonic semi-analytical solution,is provided.In fact,with equality the coefficient of auxiliary parameter(p),the system of coupled nonlinear second order and non-homogenous differential equations are obtained so that consists of unbalancing effects.By considering some initial condition for displacement and velocity in the horizontal and vertical directions,free vibration analysis is done and next,the forced vibration analysis under the effect of harmonic forces also is investigated.Likewise,various parameters on the vibration behavior of rotor are studied.Changes in amplitude and response phase per excitation frequency are investigated.Results show that by increasing excitation frequency,the motion amplitude is also increases and by passing the critical speed,it decreases.Also it shows that the magnetic bearing system performance is in stable maintenance of rotor.The parameters affecting on vibration behavior,has been studied and by comparison the results with the other references,which have a good precision up to 2nd order of embedding parameter,it implies the accuracy of this method in current research.
