一种提高傅立叶算法分辨率和精度的方法研究

在传统的傅立叶变换算法中,选取的分析数据长度和频率分辨率有直接关系,而在实际工程应用中,如果选取的分析数据长度过短,则频率分辨率过低,而且可能导致计算的幅值小于真实值,产生较大的误差,如果选取分析数据长度较长,会提高分辨率,但会引发新的问题,在该段数据内,信号的频率不一定是稳定的,依然会导致计算结果误差过大。针对该问题,提出了一种改良的傅立叶算法,在不增加分析数据长度的同时,提高算法的分辨率和精度。     

Routing for disruption tolerant networks: taxonomy and design

Communication networks, whether they are wired or wireless, have traditionally been assumed to be connected at least most of the time. However, emerging applications such as emergency response, special operations, smart environments, VANETs, etc. coupled with node heterogeneity and volatile links (e.g. due to wireless propagation phenomena and node mobility) will likely change the typical conditions under which networks operate. In fact, in such scenarios, networks may be mostly disconnected, i.e., most of the time, end-to-end paths connecting every node pair do not exist. To cope with frequent, long-lived disconnections, opportunistic routing techniques have been proposed in which, at every hop, a node decides whether it should forward or store-and-carry a message. Despite a growing number of such proposals, there still exists little consensus on the most suitable routing algorithm(s) in this context. One of the reasons is the large diversity of emerging wireless applications and networks exhibiting such “episodic” connectivity. These networks often have very different characteristics and requirements, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to design a routing solution that fits all. In this paper, we first break up existing routing strategies into a small number of common and tunable routing modules (e.g. message replication, coding, etc.), and then show how and when a given routing module should be used, depending on the set of network characteristics exhibited by the wireless application. We further attempt to create a taxonomy for intermittently connected networks. We try to identify generic network characteristics that are relevant to the routing process (e.g., network density, node heterogeneity, mobility patterns) and dissect different “challenged” wireless networks or applications based on these characteristics. Our goal is to identify a set of useful design guidelines that will enable one to choose an appropriate routing protocol for the application or network in hand. Finally, to demonstrate the utility of our approach, we take up some case studies of challenged wireless networks, and validate some of our routing design principles using simulations.     

Three-Band White Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Hybridization of Polyfluorene and Colloidal CdSe–ZnS Quantum Dots

The authors have demonstrated the hybridization of polyfluorene (PFO) polymer light-emitting diodes with CdSe–ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) in different device structures. To achieve white light emission, the green and red QDs have been incorporated into the PFO as the single emissive layer. Furthermore, the whole structures were also optimized to engineer the emission spectra. Accordingly, the incorporation of QDs increased the turn-on voltage from 10 to 23 V in device with the blend ratio of PFO : green QD : red QD being 6 : 1 : 1, while the maximum brightness was dramatically decreased.      

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles,Nanotubes, Nanopans,and Graphene-like Structures of Boron Nitride

By heating H₃BO₃ with urea in 1 : 6 molar ratio, nanoparticles and nanotubes of BN are obtained. The urea–boric acid reaction can also be exploited to obtain graphene analogues of BN, with the number of layers depending on the relative proportions of the two reactants. Synthesis with a high proportion of urea yields a product containing graphene analogues of BN with an average of 2 layers. The surface area of BN increases with the decreasing number of layers, and the high-surface-area BN also exhibits high CO₂ adsorption. Few-layer BN can be solubilized by interaction with Lewis bases. Nanopans and nanosheets formed by graphene-like BN are generated by the vapor phase reaction of NH₃ and BBr₃ at 1223 K. Nanopans of BN, being reported for the first time, have a bottom comprising single-layer BN and a wall of 0.7 nm height. The average inner volume of the nanopan is around 400 nm³.     

Synthesis of SiC ceramics from processed cellulosic bio-precursor

Synthesis of SiC ceramic from processed cellulosic bio-precursor was investigated. Bamboo (Bambusa tulda Roxb.) plants abundantly available in the Jorhat district of Assam, India, were selected for extraction of fibers following Kraft pulping method and bleached bamboo pulp fibers were suitably cast in the form of rectangular boards. Coir fibers available in the Alleppy district of Kerala, India, were initially digested with dilute alkali, mixed with cellulose acetate solution, air dried and then hot-pressed at 140 ± 5 °C under 2.0–2.5 MPa pressure to make rectangular boards. Well-characterized processed bio-precursors were pyrolysed at ～800 °C under flowing N₂ atmosphere to prepare the bio-carbonaceous preforms (carbon templates) which showed nearly uniform shrinkages in all directions. Coir fiber composite board carbon showed lower pyrolytic weight loss (～66%), higher density (0.49 g cm^?3), lower porosity (～58%) and narrower pore diameter (10 μm) compared to the cast bamboo pulp fiber board carbon. The carbon samples showed perfect retention of fibrous morphological features of hierarchically grown bio-structures. Ceramization of carbon templates could be done by reactive melt silicon infiltration into porous channels at ～1600 °C under vacuum. The final ceramics were adequately dense (%theoretical density > 99%), showed negligible linear dimensional changes (indicating net-dimension formation capability), presence of crystalline Si and SiC phases and duplex microstructure with complete preservation of fibrous architecture of plant bio-structure. The Si/SiC ceramic composite synthesized from coir fiber board gave room temperature 3-point flexural strength and Young's modulus values of 121 MPa and 276 GPa, respectively. Both the ceramic composites showed adequate oxidation resistance during heating at 1300 °C for 7 h in air.     

Enhanced nanofluidization by alternating electric fields

We show experimental results on a proposed technique to enhance the fluidization of nanoparticle beds. This technique consists of the application of an alternating electric field to the nanofluidized bed. Three different field configurations have been tested: co‐flow field, cross‐flow field, and variable field configurations. Nanoparticle agglomerates are naturally charged by contact and tribo charging mechanisms and therefore are agitated by the action of the externally applied field, which enhance fluidization. According to our observations, the best results are obtained for the variable field configuration. In this configuration, the electric field strength is higher at the bottom of the bed, whereas it is almost negligible at the free surface. Thus, the larger agglomerates, which tend to sink at the bottom of the bed due to stratification, and usually impede uniform fluidization, are strongly agitated. It is thought that the strong agitation of the bigger agglomerates that usually sink to the bottom of the bed contributes to further homogenize the distribution of the gas flow within the bed by destabilizing the development of gas channels close to the gas distributor. On the other hand, the smaller agglomerates at the vicinity of the free surface are just weakly excited. Consequently, fluidization is greatly enhanced, whereas at the same time excessive elutriation is avoided. It is demonstrated that this technique is even suitable to achieve highly expanded fluidization of unsieved nanopowder samples even though the fluidization state returns to be heterogeneous upon the electric field being turned off. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010     

Enhanced control of integrating cascade processes with time delays using modified Smith predictor

This paper presents a simple cascade controller in the enhanced modified Smith predictor structure for control of integrating processes. The proposed structure consists of two control loops, a secondary inner loop and a primary outer loop. The method has totally three controllers of which the secondary loop has one controller and the primary loop has two controllers. The secondary loop controller is designed using IMC technique. The primary loop set-point tracking and disturbance rejection controllers are designed using direct synthesis method. The primary set-point tracking controller is designed as a PID with lag filter and the primary disturbance rejection controller is designed as a PD with lead-lag filter. Simulation studies have been carried out on various cascade integrating processes with/without zero. The present method gives significant disturbance rejection both in the inner and outer loops and also shows significant improvement when compared to the recently reported methods.     

Nitrogen balances in farmers fields under alternative uses of a cover crop legume: a case study from Nicaragua

Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N) is considered the most limiting nutrient for agricultural production in the target area, the objective of this study was to quantify the soil surface N budgets at plot level in farmers fields over two cropping years for the traditional maize/bean rotation and the alternative maize/canavalia rotation. Mineral fertilizer N, seed N and symbiotically fixed N were summed up as N input to the system. Symbiotic N₂ fixation was assessed using the ¹⁵N natural abundance method. Nitrogen output was quantified as N export via harvested products. Canavalia derived in average 69% of its N from the atmosphere. The amount of N fixed per hectare varied highly according to the biomass production, which ranged from 0 to 5,700 kg ha^?1. When used as green manure, canavalia increased the N balance of the maize/canavalia rotation but had no effect on the N uptake of the following maize crop. When used as forage, it bears the risk of a soil N depletion up to 41 kg N ha^?1 unless N would be recycled to the plot by animal manure. Without N mineral fertilizer application, the N budget remains negative even if canavalia was used as green manure. Therefore, the replenishment of soil N stocks by using canavalia may need a few years, during which the application of mineral N fertilizer needs to be maintained to sustain agricultural production.     

A new open-framework zinc arsenate [C4N3H16]2[Zn5(AsO4)4(HAsO4)2]

A three-dimensional zinc arsenate with an interrupted zeolitic framework (?IIO), [C₄N₃H₁₆]₂[Zn₅(AsO₄)₄(HAsO₄)₂], I has been synthesized solvothermally. The structure is built up from ZnO₄, AsO₄ and HAsO₄ tetrahedral units connected alternatively through their vertices forming the 3-D structure possessing one-dimensional channels bound by 10 T-atoms (T = Zn, As). The framework density of the structure is 10.4 T-atoms which indicates considerable openness in its structure.     

The First Example of Saccharin‐Lithium Bromide Catalysis: Direct Synthesis of N‐Tosylimines from Alcohols

The first procedure to access N‐tosylimines directly from alcohols under mild and neutral conditions is reported. The protocol involves saccharin‐lithium bromide‐catalyzed oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes/ketones with chloramine‐T followed by their condensation with the in situ generated oxidation by‐product p‐toluenesulfonamide in the same reaction vessel to afford N‐tosylimines in 40–90% overall yields. The present work opens up a new and efficient synthetic route to N‐tosyimines directly from alcohols in a one‐pot procedure.
