Sediment Concentration and Its Prediction by Perceptron Kalman Filtering Procedure

Predictions of the discharge and the associated sediment concentration are very useful ingredients in any water resources reservoir design, planning, maintenance, and operation. Although there are many empirical relationships between the discharge and sediment concentration amounts, they need estimation of model parameters. Generally, parameter estimations are achieved through the regression method (RM), which has several restrictive assumptions. Such models are locally valid and their structures and parameter values are questionable from region to others. This paper proposes a new approach for sediment concentration prediction provided that there are measurements of discharge and sediment concentration. The basis of the methodology is a dynamic transitional model between successive time instances based on two variables, namely, discharge and sediment concentration measurements. The transition matrix elements are estimated from the measurements through a special form of the artificial neural networks as perceptrons. The sediment concentration predictions from discharge measurements are achieved through a perceptron Kalman filtering (PKF) technique. In the meantime, this technique also provides temporal predictions. A certain portion of the measurement sequence is employed for the model parameter estimations through training and the remaining part is used for the model verification. Detailed comparisons between RM and PKF approaches are presented and, finally, it is shown that the latter model works dynamically by simulating the observation scatter diagram in the best possible manner with smaller prediction errors. The application of the methodology is performed for the discharge and sediment concentration measurements obtained from the Mississippi River basin at St. Louis, Missouri. It is found that the PKF methodology has smaller average relative, root-mean-square, and absolute errors than RM. Furthermore, graphical representation, such as the scatter and frequency diagrams, indicated that the PKF approach has superiority over the RM.

叠后记录Radon变换压制干扰方法

在叠加剖面中,下伏反射界面的反射信号同相轴呈连续的或带有限个间断点的连续层状图像,各种干扰则呈无规则的图像。对此剖面的振幅数据进行 Radon 变换,即分别向各方向进行投影,层状图像将产生一定形状的光滑曲线,而干扰数据将相互抵消,其剩余数据呈高斯分布。在Radon 域中通过平滑等方法消除这些呈高斯分布的噪声数据,再经 Radon 逆变换,便可获得信噪比较高的叠加剖面。其结果不改变原叠加剖面的分辨率和信号波形特征。理论与实际剖面的处理结果表明,这是一种良好的压制干扰方法。

Dynamical correlations and the direct summation method of evaluating infinite continued fractions

Testes from 11.5-day-old mouse embryos, with and without attached mesonephroi, were cultured for 7 days. Isolated testes failed to develop well-differentiated testis cords: however, when cultured attached to a mesonephros from either a male or a female donor embryo, testes developed cords that were normal in appearance. Testes cultured next to a mesonephric region but separated from it by a permeable filter, did not develop normal cords, nor did testes grafted to fragments of embryonic limb or heart. When testes were grafted to mesonephric regions from mice carrying a transgenic marker, the marker was found in some of the peritubular myoid cells and other interstitial cells of the testis, but not in the Sertoli cells or the germ cells. We conclude that after 11.5 days post coitum, cells can migrate from the mesonephric region into the differentiating testis and can contribute to the interstitial cell population, and that this contribution is necessary for the establishment of normal cord structure. The germ cells in all cultured testes, whether or not differentiated cords were present, were T1 prospermatogonia: no meiotic germ cells were seen.     

Studies of photoconductivity in β-Apo-8′ carotenal

The photoconductive properties of a carotenoid polyene,β-Apo-8′ carotenal in polycrystalline form has been studied. The growth of the photocurrent shows an overshoot in the growth-time curve before steady state value is attained. This behaviour of photocurrent is proposed to be due to higher value of recombination coefficient than trapping coefficient. From the temperature dependence study it is observed that the steady state photocurrent, at first increases with increase of temperature, attains a maximum at a particular temperatureT _max and then decreases with temperature. TheT _max value agrees with the temperature above and below which steady state photocurrent is attained differently. Monomolecular and bimolecular recombination processes at two temperature regimes are proposed to account for the observed behaviour. The dependence of photocurrent with excitation light intensity and wavelength study provide information on the carrier generation processes. The fast decay of photocurrent have been observed at different temperatures and from this study the decay constant is calculated and it is found to be temperature independent.     

Effects of triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation upon ozone-induced lung injury

Ozone exposure results in an acute decrease in the serum levels of thyroid hormones; the physiologic sequelae of this are unclear. Whereas thyroid hormone supplementation appears to benefit pulmonary function in septic, oxyradical models of injury, thyroid hormone increases ozone toxicity. We demonstrated an increase in metabolic rate and pulmonary injury in lungs from ozone exposed, T3 treated animals. This was evidenced by an increase in pulmonary weight gain, vascular perfusion pressure, and decrease in compliance in the supplemented animals. However, an increase in alkane generation, as an index of lipid peroxidation, was not seen in the ozone exposed, hormonally treated animals. This suggests that although thyroid hormone supplementation increases metabolic rate and ozone toxicity, an increased rate of lipid peroxidation plays a minimal role.
