Statistical modeling of mains zero crossing variation in powerline communication

In this paper, authors investigate statistical modeling of measured mains Zero Crossing (ZC) non idealities in narrowband powerline communication systems (PLC) using time series approach based on autoregressive moving average model (ARMA). For this purpose, Box Jenkins analysis steps are deployed for detected ZC impulsive variations. Estimated models exhibit a good fit based on R-square metric reaching 90%. This modeling approach is extended to three measurement environment: in home, in lab and rural locations. Obtained models are useful for NB-PLC channel emulator implementation.     

Triplet harvesting in polyfluorene copolymer-based organic light emitting diodes through thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing

Recently, significant efforts have been made to develop highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) employing reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) owing to its capability of harvesting non-emissive triplet states. Up to date, most of such emitters were small-molecular-weight materials that needed to be doped into a host material. Due to the advantages of ease device fabrication and excellent photoluminescent properties, polymer-based RISC emitters should be developed. In this study, we reported a polyfluorene-based copolymer of poly[{9,9-dioctyl-2,7-divinylene-fluorenylene-alt-co-{2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenyene}] (PFOPV), which is a solution-processable, non-doped, high-molecular-weight material exhibiting RISC characteristics. A systematical magneto-electroluminescence study joint by time-resolved spectra revealed that charge transfer (CT) states would be generated between PFO and MEH-PPV components of PFOPV, and triplet CT states can participate in RISC process and contribute significantly to the emission. The PFOPV device shows excellent EL performance with EL efficiency of 12.7 cd/A and EQE of 2.2%, which is about 10–15 times and 2–4 times higher than those of PFO (0.9 cd/A, 0.63%) and MEH-PPV (1.2 cd/A, 1.1%) homopolymer devices, respectively.     

韶钢3 450 mm中厚板轧机轴向力产生机理及改进措施

针对韶钢3 450 mm中厚板轧机轴向力过大造成机组操作侧和传动侧钢板厚度偏差较大的问题,对轴向力的产生机理进行了分析,并对机组咬钢过程冲击载荷对轧机轴向力的影响进行了仿真研究。结果表明,轴承座滑板和牌坊滑板之间存在较大的间隙造成工作辊和支撑辊交叉是产生轴向力的主要原因,而轴向力的产生又导致了轴承座滑板和牌坊滑板之间的间隙增大,进而进一步便轴向力增大;机组咬钢过程冲击载荷对机组的轴向力有较大影响。在上述机理研究的基础上对机组轴承座滑板和牌坊滑板之间的间隙进行了修复,大大降低了轧机的轴向力,使钢板厚度偏差问题得到了明显改善,创造了显著的经济效益。

Illegal road crossing behavior of pedestrians at overpass locations: Factors affecting gap acceptance,crossing times and overpass use

The aim of designing overpasses is to provide safe road crossings for pedestrians by helping them to avoid conflicts with motor vehicles. However, the number of pedestrians who do not use overpasses to cross the road is very high. An observational survey of illegal road crossings was conducted at four overpass locations in Izmir, Turkey to determine the crossing time, crossing speed of the pedestrians and their distance and time gap perception for safe road-crossing within 25 m of the overpasses in both directions. Crossing time is the time needed for a pedestrian to cross a particular road. Time gap is strongly related with safety margin. If a pedestrian chooses a larger time gap, then the arrival time of the oncoming vehicle to the crossing point of the pedestrian increases thus, the possibility of a collision decreases. Each overpass was observed on weekdays during peak afternoon (12.30–13.30) and evening hours (17.00–18.00). At all overpass locations 454 illegal crossings were observed. ANOVA results revealed that age had a significant effect both on safety margin and crossing time. During the observations a survey was conducted among pedestrians who completed their crossings either using the overpass or at street level within 25 m of the overpass (n = 231). Factors affecting the crossing choice of pedestrians were specified in the surveys. The major part of the respondents (71.7%) indicated that time saving was the main reason for crossing at street level. Pedestrians’ crossing speeds were extracted from the video recordings to observe the effect of speed limit on pedestrian behavior. As a result, at locations where the speed limit was 70 km/h, pedestrians’ average crossing speed was found to be 1.60 m/s and 1.73 m/s while at locations where the speed limit was 50 km/h, pedestrians’ average crossing speed was found to be 1.04 m/s and 0.97 m/s. This shows that pedestrians feel safer while crossing when the vehicle speed is low.

Temburong Bridge,Brunei – Design of two cable stayed bridges

The Temburong Bridge Project is a 30 km long dual two‐lane highway crossing over the Brunei Bay. It will connect the relatively isolated Brunei district of Temburong to the other three Brunei districts. The main objective of the project is to stimulate economic growth in the Temburong region by connecting it to the country's airport and ports. The alignment crosses two navigation channels resulting in the need for two cable stayed bridges – the Brunei Channel Bridge (145 m main span) and the Eastern Channel Bridge (260 m main span). The design of these cable stayed bridges is one of the first applications of the Eurocode to a fully concrete cable stayed bridge. Both cable stayed bridges draw on strong Islamic architectural influences from the region to form a tower shape that is unique and instantly recognisable. Temburong Brücke, Brunei – Entwurf von zwei Schrägkabelbrücken Die Temburong Brücke ist eine 30 km lange Verbindung über die Brunei Bucht mit zwei Richtungsfahrbahnen mit je zwei Fahrstreifen. Sie wird den relativ isolierten Distrikt Temburong mit den anderen drei Distrikten Bruneis verbinden. Hauptanliegen des Projekts ist die Stimulierung von ökonomischem Wachstum in der Temburong Region, indem sie an den Flughafen und Seehafen des Landes angebunden wird. Die Trassierung erfordert die Überquerung zweier Schiffahrtsrouten. Dies wird mit der Anordnung zweier Schrägkabelbrücken ermöglicht, der Brunei Channel Brücke (145 m Hauptspannweite) und der Eastern Channel Brücke (260 m Hauptspannweite). Die Bemessung der beiden Brücken stellt eine der ersten Anwendungen des Eurocode auf Schrägkabelbrücken mit Betonüberbau dar. Optisch sind die beiden Brücken geprägt von der islamischen Architektur der Umgebung, die Pylonform ist ein besonderes Erkennungsmerkmal der Brücken.
