Singular value properties of LQ regulators

The closed-loop singular values of an LQ regulator transfer function are proved to be no greater than the singular values of the open-loop transfer function and, in the case of output-weighted cost function, to be no greater than the output-weighting parameter     

A theoretical study of pulsed laser sampling photon amplifiers

Theoretical studies point to significant improvements in the performance of semiconductor laser amplifiers by injecting carriers with pulsed electric currents of sub-nanosecond duration. A pulsed Fabry-Perot amplifier (FPA) is most sensitive to input lightwave at the instant the carrier density is crossing the critical region, and gives a sharply pulsed sampling effect on the input lightwave signal. Compared with a FPA operating at subcritical electron density, the pulsed amplifier gives much higher gain, peak power, and bandwidth. In fact, pulsed operation of a FPA is also expected to give significantly higher gain and about the same peak output power as a traveling wave amplifier. Pulsed operation also improves the performance of a traveling wave amplifier by attenuating its internally reflected waves     

Effects of free convection and mass transfer on the flow past an impulsively moving infinite vertical circular cylinder

The effects of free convection and mass transfer are taken into account for the Stokes' problem of the flow near an impulsively moving infinite vertical circular cylinder. Expressions of the velocity, temperature, concentration and skin friction of the fluid in closed form are obtained by the Laplace transform technique. The results based on various values of the parameters Gr (Grashof number), Gm (modified Grashof number), Sc (Schmidt number) and Pr (Prandtl number) are given in graphical form. It will be seen that there is a rise in the velocity due to the presence of a foreign mass. But higher Sc yields the lower velocity and skin friction. As the radius of the circular cylinder approaches to infinite, the results presented in this paper agree with those of V.M. Soundalgekar's and C.K. Chen's etc. for the flow past an impulsively moving infinite vertical plate.

核电厂运行安全指标

本文着重介绍了 IAEA 所制定的核电厂运行安全指标,同时也介绍了美国所制定的类似指标。这些指标为定量地评估和比较各国核电厂运行安全提供了可靠的依据。     

多重散射X_α方法计算Na_3原子簇的探讨

从已有的多重散射统计总能量公式出发,我们计算了Na_3原子簇。该原子已用CI-SCF和LSD膺势方法计算过。为了进一步讨论这种方法的应用,我们计算了Na_3原子簇的统计总能量、轨道能量、电离能。借助于这些结果,讨论了这种方法的优缺点。     

石家庄市室内氡及其子体浓度

本文报道了用双滤膜法对石家庄市室内空气中氡及其子体浓度的调查结果。47个房间室内氡年平均浓度为17.0Bq·m~(-3),氡子体平均浓度是7.14Bq·m~(-3)。氡及其子体浓度的日变化是清晨4—8时出现峰值。季节变化是夏秋季低,冬季高,全年的最低值出现在8月,最高值出现在11月。
