基于广义二次互相关的低信噪比信号时延估计

针对时延估计精度受噪声影响,导致时延估计不准确的问题,在现有广义二次相关算法的基础上,提出了一种改进的广义二次相关算法,通过将二次相关函数先做指数运算,降低噪声干扰,再将傅里叶逆变换得到的相关函数做高次方运算,达到锐化峰值提高时延正确率的目的。仿真结果表明,信噪比(SNR)在0~10 dB时,改进算法的均方根误差明显优于广义二次相关算法,正确率相比于广义二次相关算法也显著提高,且在更低SNR的情况下仍然具有一定优势。     

Generalized F-discrepancy-based point selection strategy for dependent random variables in uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures

In the performance evaluation of structures under disastrous actions, for example, earthquakes, it is important to take into account the randomness of structural parameters. Generally, these random parameters are treated either as independent or perfectly dependent, but practically they are partly dependent. This article aims at developing a point selection strategy for uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures involving probabilistically dependent random parameters characterized by copula function. For this purpose, the point selection strategy for structures involving independent basic variables is first revisited. As an improvement, a generalized F-discrepancy diminishing oriented iterative screening algorithm is proposed. Then, combining with the conditional sampling method, a conditional point set rearrangement method and a conditional iterative screening-rearrangement method are proposed for probabilistically dependent variables. These new point selection strategies are readily incorporated into the probability density evolution method for uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures involving dependent random parameters, which is characterized by copula function. The proposed methods are illustrated by two examples including a shear frame with hysteretic restoring forces and a reinforced concrete frame structure with the damage constitutive model of concrete, where the material parameters are probabilistically dependent. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Problems to be studied are discussed.

具有光照鲁棒的图像匹配方法

针对现有的基于局部特征的图像匹配算法对光照变化敏感、匹配正确率低等问题，提出一种具有光照鲁棒性的图像匹配算法。首先使用实时对比保留去色（RTCP）算法灰度化图像，然后利用对比拉伸函数模拟不同光照变换对图像的影响从而提取抗光照变换特征点，最后采用局部强度顺序模式建立特征点描述符，根据待匹配图像局部特征点描述符的欧氏距离判断是否为成对匹配点。在公开数据集上，所提算法与尺度不变特征变换（SIFT）算法、加速鲁棒特征（SURF）算法、"风"（KAZE）算法和ORB算法在匹配速度和匹配正确率上进行了对比实验。实验结果表明：随着图像亮度差异的增加，SIFT算法、SURF算法、"风"（KAZE）算法和ORB算法匹配正确率下降迅速，所提算法下降缓慢并且正确率均高于80%；所提算法特征点检测较慢和描述符维数较高，平均耗时为23.47 s，匹配速度不及另外四种算法，但匹配质量却远超过它们。对实时性要求不高的系统中，所提算法可以克服光照变化对图像匹配造成的影响。     

The effect of barium titanate ceramic loading on the stress relaxation behavior of barium titanate-silicone elastomer composites

The stress relaxation behavior of barium titanate (BTO)-elastomer (Ecoflex) composites, as used in large strain sensors, is studied using the generalized Maxwell-Wiechert model. In this article, we examine the stress relaxation behavior of ceramic polymer composites by conducting stress relaxation tests on samples prepared with varying the particle loading by 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt% of 100 and 200 nm BTO ceramic particles embedded in a Ecoflex silicone-based hyperelastic elastomer. The influence of BTO on the Maxwell-Wiechert model parameters was studied through the stress relaxation results. While a pristine Ecoflex silicone elastomer is predominantly a hyperelastic material, the addition of BTO made the composite behave as a visco-hyperelastic material. However, this behavior was shown to have a negligible effect on the electrical sensing performance of the large strain sensor.

Novel method of constructing generalized Hoberman sphere mechanisms based on deployment axes

This study proposes a method of constructing type II generalized angulated elements (GAEs II) Hoberman sphere mechanisms on the basis of deployment axes that intersect at one point. First, the constraint conditions for inserting n GAEs II into n deployment axes to form a loop are given. The angle constraint conditions of the deployment axes are obtained through a series of linear equations. Second, the connection conditions of two GAEs II loops that share a common deployable center are discussed. Third, a flowchart of constructing the generalized Hoberman sphere mechanism on the basis of deployment axes is provided. Finally, four generalized Hoberman sphere mechanisms based on a fully enclosed regular hexahedron, arithmetic sequence axes, orthonormal arithmetic sequence axes, and spiral-like axes are constructed in accordance with the given arrangement of deployment axes that satisfy the constraint conditions to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

How Catalytic Order Drives the Complexification of Molecular Replication Networks

Catalytic replication networks have frequently served to study emergent phenomena in complex mixtures. In a series of recent research papers, we have analyzed the effects of the autocatalytic reaction order on various behaviors of these networks, and in particular, on their possibility to evolve and mimic functions often observed in cell biochemistry. In this review, we first discuss and derive properties of minimal self-replication, with an emphasis on catalytic order, reaction order, and properties directly affected by the order. We then expand our discussion to include catalytic networks, and review some of the implications of symmetry and order in these networks. Consequently, we look at open catalytic networks and their oscillations in replication product formation, again emphasizing the critical role played by the catalytic order. Finally, we describe an extension of the catalytic networks research using the quasispecies model, where we note the implications of the order on the phase transitions observed in these systems. Further implications of these results for emergence and evolution are discussed.
