Millimeter‐wave planar high gain SIW antenna using half elliptic radiation slots

This article reports a high gain millimeter‐wave substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna using low cost printed circuit board technology. The half elliptic slots which can provide small shunt admittance, low cross polarization level and low mutual coupling are etched on the board surface of SIW as radiation slots for large array application. Design procedure for analyzing the characteristics of proposed radiation slot, the beam‐forming structure and the array antenna are presented. As examples, an 8 × 8 and a 32 × 32 SIW slot array antennas are designed and verified by experiments. Good agreements between simulation and measured results are achieved, which shows the 8 × 8 SIW slot array antenna has a gain of 20.8 dBi at 42.5 GHz, the maximum sidelobe level of 42.5 GHz E‐plane and H‐plane radiation patterns are 22.3 dB and 22.1 dB, respectively. The 32 × 32 SIW slot array antenna has a maximum measured gain of 30.05 dBi at 42.5 GHz. At 42.3 GHz, the measured antenna has a gain of 29.6 dBi and a maximum sidelobe level of 19.89 dB and 15.0 dB for the E‐plane and H‐plane radiation patterns. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Novel ultra‐compact two‐dimensional waveguide‐based metasurface for electromagnetic coupling reduction of microstrip antenna array

A novel ultracompact two‐dimensional (2D) waveguide‐based metasurface is proposed herein and applied for the first time to reduce mutual coupling in antenna array for multiple‐input multiple‐output applications. The unit cell of the proposed 2D waveguide‐based metasurface is ultracompact (8.6 mm × 4.8 mm, equal to λ₀/14.2 × λ₀/25.5) mainly due to the symmetrical spiral lines etched on the ground. The metasurface exhibits a bandgap with two transmission zeros attributing to the negative permeability in the vicinity of magnetic resonance and the negative permittivity in the vicinity of electric resonance. Taking advantage of these two features, a microstrip antenna array is then designed, fabricated, and measured by embedding an 8 × 1 array of the well‐engineered 2D waveguide‐based metasurface elements between two closely spaced (9.2 mm, equal to λ₀/13.3) H‐plane coupled rectangular patches. There is good agreement between the simulated and measured results, indicating that the metasurface effectively reduces antenna mutual coupling by more than 11.18 dB and improves forward gain. The proposed compact structure has one of the highest reported decoupling efficiencies among similar periodic structures with comparable dimensions. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Output performance optimization for RTD fluxgate sensor based on dynamic permeability基于动态磁导率参数的时间差型磁通门传感器的输出响应优化

The output performance of residence times difference (RTD) fluxgate may vary under different driving conditions (driving currents and frequencies) and core materials. To optimize the RTD fluxgate and simplify its design process, an analytical model is employed to select the parameters and identify the effective factors that dominate the performance. The dynamic permeability parameters (P_i), which reflect the changes in the magnetization curve, are mathematically analyzed in detail. The linear variation functions of P_i in different driving conditions are fitted by using the dynamic arctangent hysteresis model. Consequently, the selection of driving conditions and core materials, which are assessed by comparing the experiment and simulation results, has an important role in achieving the optimal output performance of the RTD fluxgate.     

Similarity assessment for scientific workflow clustering and recommendation基于相似性评估策略的科学工作流聚类与推荐

This article proposes to identify and recommend scientific workflows for reuse and repurposing. Specifically, a scientific workflow is represented as a layer hierarchy that specifies the hierarchical relations between this workflow, its sub-workflows, and activities. Semantic similarity is calculated between layer hierarchies of workflows. A graph-skeleton based clustering technique is adopted for grouping layer hierarchies into clusters. Barycenters in each cluster are identified, which serve as core workflows in this cluster, for facilitating the cluster identification and workflow ranking and recommendation with respect to the requirement of scientists.

An Intents-based approach for dynamic service discovery

Service discovery has been a very active research field attracting many researchers around the world. Most of the previous research efforts on service discovery have been based on the ternary classification of participant roles in web services, including service providers, brokers, and consumers. This classification is insufficient because it fails to make a difference between application developers and end users who both belong to service consumers. As a result, application developers usually take the responsibility of seeking services while end users who ultimately use the application are ignored. In order to address this issue, this paper presents an Intents-based approach for dynamic service discovery. The proposed approach is motivated from two industrial protocols: Android Intents and web Intents. It improves the two protocols by a generic model from the aspects of architecture, intent messages and their resolving process, Intents services, and user agents. It classifies the implicit intents into authoritative and naïve intents and is compatible with the current web service triangular architecture. This paper also illustrates a way of creating Intents services from SOAP and REST web services and presents two cases to demonstrate some benefits of the proposed approach.

西安与咸阳孔隙型热储尾水回灌堵塞机理对比

在分析西安与咸阳两市地质条件、热储环境特征和水化学类型的差异的基础上,采用水文地球化学理论模拟、室内堵塞模拟试验及现场回灌试验多种方法耦合的方法,对西安、咸阳孔隙型热储尾水回灌堵塞机理进行对比研究。动态岩心驱替试验结果表明,在同一温度下,西安回灌模拟试验各个堵塞率均大于咸阳回灌一号井堵塞率。两地化学、微生物堵塞对比显示,西安回灌井水体含铁量高,在回灌过程中产生大量铁细菌及铁类矿物黏泥,而咸阳回灌井水体铁类矿物影响微乎其微。研究表明,在开放环境下,地下水中Fe2+与空气中的O发生氧化反应生成Fe2O3和Fe(OH)3等矿物沉淀,这些胶状沉淀物进入地层后造成了堵塞。试验表明,西安三桥回灌井回灌地层适宜性不及咸阳回灌一号井;且西安三桥回灌井开放式回灌方式加重了化学、微生物堵塞。     

全球河流入海沙量估算述评

全球河流入海沙量作为地球系统运行变化的重要而敏感的指标,在一定程度上会对全球社会、经济和环境问题产生重要影响,从而引起国内外研究者的高度关注。针对由于缺乏可靠、完整的河流输沙量数据,很难准确估算全球河流入海沙量的数值及其变化,且已有文献估算值差别很大,缺乏统一认识的问题,收集整理了20世纪50年代至今国内外27篇文献中全球河流入海沙量的估算值,并对近期相关典型研究成果进行述评。调查发现,早期估算的入海沙量数值差异很大,随着人们对这一问题的深入研究,近年来全球入海沙量估算值日趋合理,大多集中在120亿~200亿t/a。分析认为,人类活动影响前后的河流入海沙量宜分别按190亿t/a和130亿t/a考虑。
