A novel fault-tolerant execution model by using of mobile agents

The exponential expansion of the Internet and the widespread popularity of the World Wide Web give a challenge to experts on reliable and secure system design, e.g., e-economy applications. New paradigms are on demand and mobile agent technology is one of the features. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerance execution model by using of mobile agents, for the purpose of consistent and correct performance with a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Failures are classified into two classes based on their intrinsic different effects on mobile agents. For each kind of failure, a specified handling method is adopted. The introduction of exceptional handling method allows performance improvements during mobile agents’ execution. The behaviors of mobile agents are statistically analyzed through several key parameters, including the migration time from node to node, the life expectancy of mobile agents, and the population distribution of mobile agents, to evaluate the performance of our model. The analytical results give new theoretical insights to the fault-tolerant execution of mobile agents and show that our model outperforms the existing fault-tolerant models. Our model provides an effective way to improve the reliability of computer systems.

一种基于ENVI二次开发的遥感薄云去除方法的改进

近年来常用的同态滤波去云算法因其采用滤波器的局限性只能去除低频区域的云而无法去除高频区域的云。因此在分析传统的同态滤波去云算法的基础上,引入了空域滤波,采用中值滤波器对图像进行处理,旨在去除高频区域的云。而后在ENVI遥感图像处理软件平台中采用IDL语言实现了算法并对ENVI进行二次开发。经实验结果分析表明,该法是有效的,并且为遥感数据的后续应用提供了方便。

Stability of three-dimensional metallic glass Ni68B21Si11

Under isothermal and linear heating conditions, the thermal stability of the three-dimensional metallic glass Ni₆₈B₂₁Si₁₁, produced by rapid quenching of the denucleated melt (RQDM), has been systematically studied using PE DSC7 differential scanning calorimetry in relation to denucleation of liquid alloy prior to rapid quenching, pre-anneal treatment of amorphous specimens, and cooling rate. The following results were observed. First, the thermal stability of metallic glass prepared by RQDM is obviously enhanced because of the removal of pre-existing nuclei in advance. This is substantiated by the experimental data showing that the projected life of three-dimensional metallic glass Ni₆₈B₂₁Si₁₁ is increased by an order of magnitude at 400 K. Secondly, pre-anneal treatment of the amorphous alloy leads to a reduction of temperature for the onset of crystallization,T _x, and crystallization heat, H. Finally, quenching rates have little effect on the thermal stability of amorphous alloys.     

Research on wind turbine blade damage based on pre-stressed FBG strain sensors

One of the essential parts of a wind power generator that captures wind energy is the wind turbine blade. The safety of the blades rapidly declines as a wind turbine''s operating period grows. For real-time monitoring, a chip-type pre-stressed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensor was fabricated. The sensor''s structure was improved using simulation analysis along with optimization. It was discovered through calibration trials that the pre-stressing method expanded the sensor''s range of measurement, guaranteed overall linearity, and prevented the potential hysteresis phenomena during compression. The sensor''s final sensitivity was calculated to be 1.970 pm/με, and its linear fitting coefficient was 0.999. Finally, the sensor was used to monitor the wind turbine blades and the strain change curve of the root of a normally functioning blade is found to be a sine curve, which provides a certain reference value for judging whether the blade is damaged in the future.     

Surface Control and Electrical Tuning of MXene Electrode for Flexible Self-Powered Human–Machine Interaction

MXene materials emerge as promising candidates for energy harvesting and storage application. In this study, the effect of the surface chemistry on the work function of MXenes, which determines the performance of MXene-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), is elucidated. First-principles calculations reveal that the surface functional group greatly influences MXene work function:  OH termination reduces the work function with respect to that of bare surface, while  F and  Cl increase it. Then, work functions are experimentally determined by Kelvin probe force microscopy. The MXene prepared by gentle etching at 40 °C for 48 h (GE_40/48) has the largest work function. Furthermore, an electron-cloud potential-well model is established to explain the mechanism of electron emission-dominated charge transfer and assemble a triboelectric device to verify experimentally its conclusions. It is found that GE_40/48 has the best performance with a 281 V open-circuit voltage, 9.7 µA short-current current, and storing 1.019 µC of charge, which is consistent with the model. Last, a patterned TENG is demonstrated for self-powered human–machine interaction application. This finding enhances the understanding of the inherent mechanism between the surface structure and the output performance of MXene-based TENG, which can be applied to other TENG based on 2D materials.     

Proximity-Induced Fully Ferromagnetic Order with Eightfold Magnetic Anisotropy in Heavy Transition Metal Oxide CaRuO3

Ferromagnetic materials with a strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have attracted much attention in recent years because of their exotic properties and potential applications in energy-efficient spintronics. However, such materials are scarce in nature. Here, a proximity-induced paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition for the heavy transition metal oxide CaRuO₃ in (001)-(LaMnO₃/CaRuO₃) superlattices is reported. Anomalous Hall effect is observed in the temperature range up to 180 K. Maximal anomalous Hall conductivity and anomalous Hall angle are as large as ∼15 Ω⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and ∼0.93%, respectively, by one to two orders of magnitude larger than those of the typical 3d ferromagnetic oxides such as La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃. Density functional theory calculations indicate the existence of avoid band crossings in the electronic band structure of the ferromagnetic CRO layer, which enhances Berry curvature thus strong anomalous Hall effects. Further evidences from polarized neutron reflectometry show that the CaRuO₃ layers are in a fully ferromagnetic state (∼0.8 μ_B/Ru), in sharp contrast to the proximity-induced canted antiferromagnetic state in 5d oxides SrIrO₃ and CaIrO₃ (∼0.1 μ_B/Ir). More than that, the magnetic anisotropy of the (001)-(LaMnO₃/CaRuO₃) superlattices is eightfold symmetric, showing potential applications in the technology of multistate data storage.
