Efficacy of iron fortification compared to iron supplementation among Vietnamese schoolchildren

Background  

Parents of six children are facing a trial on charges of aggravated manslaughter in the care a 5 1/2 month old infant who died suddenly and neglect of their four older children for causing them to be malnourished by feeding them all an exclusively raw foods vegan diet. Both parents declined plea bargains and plan to defend themselves in court.     

基于Python爬虫技术的虚假数据溯源与过滤

针对现有网络虚假数据追踪与过滤方法中存在的追踪定位精度低、过滤覆盖范围小的问题,提出基于Python爬虫技术的虚假数据溯源与途中过滤.将虚假数据覆盖的网络划分为相同大小的网格,根据一定概率标记数据包;分析Python爬虫抓取过程,以适用多场景、界面可视化、负载均衡为系统设计目标,设计爬虫管理器、采集器与内嵌浏览器硬件设备;结合系统爬取数据流程描述各软件模块的协作方式;在系统中部署节点,建立协作关系区域,利用布隆过滤器生成数据包,通过共享密钥证明MAC是否合法,启动溯源过程;在溯源途中若节点不存在任何一个密钥,则将其过滤,完成虚假数据溯源与途中过滤.仿真结果证明,上述方对虚假数据的过滤效果较高,且对虚假数据溯源定位精度较高.

Fixed-time Consensus Tracking for Second-order Leader-follower Multi-agent Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics Under Directed Topology

In this paper, we address the fixed-time consensus tracking problem of second-order leader-follower multi-agent systems with nonlinear dynamics under directed topology. The consensus tracking algorithm consists of distributed observer and observer-based decentralized controller. The fixed-time distributed observer guarantees that each follower estimates the leader’s state under directed topology within a fixed time, where the upper bound of convergence time is independent on the initial conditions. The fixed-time decentralized controller makes each follower converge to the leader’s state in fixed time via tracking the distributed observer’s state and overcome the nonlinear dynamics without adding linear control terms. Finally, the numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

     

Reaction mechanism and microstructure evolution of reaction sintered <Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>-BN

Hexagonal boron nitride ceramic (h-BN) based on the nitridation of B powders was obtained by reaction sintering method. The effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the resultant products were investigated and the reaction mechanism was discussed. Results showed that the reaction between B and N₂ occurred vigorously at temperatures ranging from 1 000 °C to 1 300 °C, which resulted in the generation of t-BN. When the temperature exceeded 1 450 °C, transformation from t-BN to h-BN began to occur. As the sintering temperature increased, the spherical particles of t-BN gradually transformed into fine sheet particles of h-BN. These particles subsequently displayed a compact arrangement to achieve a more uniform microstructure, thereby increasing the strength.     

Investigations on Structured Polyamide for Laser Sintered Body Armor

Stab resistance body armor (SRBA) is essential in protecting people from knife injuries. The protective parts of traditional SRBA are made of multi-layered ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which causes heavy heat stress for people wearing it. The protective parts of SRBA manufactured using laser sintering (LS) 3D printing technology provide high manufacturing flexibility and low weight. Two different structures, plain plate and pyramid-structured plate, were investigated. The pyramid structure showed much higher stab resistance property then the plain plate, because of the angle and thickness effects. This is the first effort applying the LS technology and polyamide (PA) material (PA 3200) on SRBA. By applying the pyramid structure on the protective layer of the SRBA, the total weight could reduce 30%-40%.     

不同头型高速射弹垂直入水数值模拟

为研究不同射弹头型对高速射弹垂直入水的流体动力和流场特性的影响,采用有限体积法和VOF(volume of fluid)多相流模型,并引入动网格技术,对5种不同头型的轴对称高速射弹垂直入水过程进行了数值模拟,分析了头型对空泡形态演化过程、射弹流体动力及弹道特性的影响规律.研究结果表明,头型对射弹入水空泡形态、表面闭合时间以及入水阻力、深度、速度均有较大影响.球头与截球头空泡半径小于其余3种头型,表面闭合时刻依平头、球头、锥头、截锥头的顺序递增.射弹头部均承受较大压力,球头、截球头射弹头部压力分布不均使之承受较大的剪切力.射弹头部流线型越好,入水速度衰减越慢,入水深度增加越快.入水阻力系数峰值按平头、截球头、截锥头、锥头、球头的顺序递减.     

Trajectory Simulation for Underwater Vehicle with Power-Lunched

The motion of combustion gas bubble produced by underwater ignition was developed based on Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Combining the bubble motion equation with the underwater launched vehicle motion equation in the longitudinal plane, a trajectory simulation model with power-launched was established. The hydrodynamic characteristics of underwater ignition at different depths and the trajectory analysis of the underwater vehicle with power-launched were given by simulation. The simulation results have a good agreement with experimental results, and show that the thrust peak caused by underwater ignition and the stable thrust both decrease slightly with the increase of the water depth, and the thrust peak will decline obviously by enlarging the initial radius of gas bubble; the thrust peak generated at the instant of ignition and the low-frequency oscillation of the stable thrust have no significant influence on the trajectory of underwater vehicle.     

基于手势的交互式三维场景并行光线跟踪绘制研究

利用光线跟踪可以绘制出高质量的真实感场景画面,但计算量很大,难以实现实时交互式绘制.为此,三维真实感场景的实时交互式绘制往往需要用到集群,但集群的绘制速度是由绘制速度最慢的节点决定的,如果节点之间的任务没有被划分均匀,集群的绘制效率就会下降.为了满足实时交互式绘制的要求、提高集群的绘制效率,设计了在粗粒度和细粒度两个层次上同时实现并行计算的集群绘制系统,并针对集群的负载均衡问题提出了基于像素递归深度的负载均衡方法.该方法首先统计出每个像素的递归深度从而得到整个场景的递归深度图,然后对上一帧按递归深度进行均衡划分.根据连续两帧所对应的场景具有的时空相关性,上一帧的划分结果可作为下一帧划分的依据.本算法的优势在于能够快速实现三维动态场景下的集群负载均衡.实验表明,该集群绘制系统可以高效地实现基于Kinect的实时交互式绘制.
