Stability analysis of an adaptive packet access scheme for mobile communication systems with high propagation delays

In this paper, we investigate a packet access scheme that is able to support mixed traffics in the presence of high propagation delays. Referring to a Time‐Code Division Multiple Access air interface, we propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol based on a random access scheme. A successful attempt grants the use of a slot‐code resource. This protocol is named Adaptive Time Code‐Packet Reservation Multiple Access (ATC‐PRMA), since the access parameters are changed, depending on the traffic load conditions, so as to fulfil Quality of Service requirements. Numerical examples are carried out for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO)‐Mobile Satellite System (MSS) scenario, but all these considerations could be applied to High‐Altitude Platform Stations (HAPSs) as well. In both cases, high propagation delays prevent an immediate feedback to users. An analytical approach is proposed to study the stability of our MAC scheme. Accordingly, we define a criterion for optimizing system performance. The predicted ATC‐PRMA behaviour is supported by simulation results. Finally, we show the performance improvement of ATC‐PRMA with respect to a MAC protocol not employing adaptive parameters. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于模型正演的叠前深度偏移

川西龙门山前缘构造非常复杂，逆掩推覆构造带构造形变强烈，构造幅度大，地层倾角陡，断块发育，波场复杂，速度横向变化大，常规叠后时间偏移处理成像效果较差。文章将地震资料模型正演技术应用到叠前深度偏移，探讨了一种有助于川西龙门山前缘逆掩推覆构造地震资料精确成像技术。先利用已有地震资料解释成果，根据地质任务建立二维地质模型，在此基础上进行射线追踪、模拟出单炮地震记录和自激自收剖面，从而对观测系统的最大炮检距、道间距等参数进行论证的一些实用方法，这些方法对地震资料采集具有很好的指导作用；然后根据这些结果，再比较准确地进行叠前深度偏移的初始速度模型建立，从而达到了复杂地表下复杂构造精确成像的目的。     

Investigation on the flocculation of asphaltenes and the colloidal stability of the crude oil fraction (> 210°C)

Several problems are encountered with asphaltenes during the exploitation, transportation, storage and treatment of crude oil. The purpose of the present work was to study the behaviour of the crude oil fraction (<210°C) by varying the temperature and doping with some hydrocarbons including solid paraffin and aromatic concentrate. The effect of flooding water was investigated. A preliminary characterization study on asphaltenes removed from the crude oil using two different solvents was performed. The state of the oil was determined by the stability factor which indicates the susceptibility of asphaltenes to agglomerate or to disperse in the continuous phase.     

Extraction of penicillin G from simulated media by an emulsion liquid membrane process

The extraction of penicillin G from simulated media was performed by water/oil/water (w/o/w) emulsion liquid membranes (ELMs) and studied under various operational conditions in a batch system. The degree of extraction achieved was between 80% and 95% under specific conditions. A concentration of greater than nine times the initial concentration of penicillin G in the external phase was obtained in the internal phase. The pH of the internal aqueous solution, containing a basic salt, was theoretically calculated on the basis of the amount of penicillin G transported into the internal phase. The calculated results agreed with the experimental data well and were used to select a suitable type and concentration of a basic salt in the internal phase to give a pH within the range 5 to 8 where penicillin G was stable after the termination of extraction. The extraction of penicillin G was successfully performed by the ELM process with sodium carbonate in the internal phase.     

多变量加权多步预报控制*

对于线性多变量系统,本文给出了一种完全不同于以往的全状态反馈或观测器-控制器型的算法——多变量加权多步预报控制(MWLPC)算法。这种算法除引进了预测控制中的多步输出预报、滚动优化等机制外,最重要的是在二次型性能指标中引入了可调的多项式或有理分式矩阵权因子;适当选取这些权因子,便可按设计要求、仅用系统的输出信息反馈便能任意配置闭环系统的特征矩阵,从而保证闭环稳定性和其他优良性质。此外,该算法不改变原系统的零点,因而适用于非最小相位系统。

Strawberry juice colour: The effect of some processing variables on the stability of anthocyanins

The colour stability of juice and purées made from a mixture of two strawberry varieties, stored at + 20°C or at –20°C under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, was studied. High-performance liquid chromatography and spectrophotometric analysis were used to monitor the changes in colour during storage. Pelargonidin 3-glucoside comprised 80% of the total anthocyanin content. Four other pelargonidin-based peaks were found, being 10.4%, 3.5%, 0.7% and 0.3% of the total and two cyanidin peaks were present, being 3.3% and 0.4% of the total. Clarification before storage caused considerable losses in the initial anthocyanin concentrations. Storage conditions (air versus nitrogen) did not influence the rate of loss of anthocyanins during storage or the formation of polymeric pigments. There were no losses in anthocyanins and no increase in the amount of colour measured at 510 nm due to polymers in samples stored at–20°C. Polymerisation occurred in the samples stored at + 20°C, especially in the clarified samples.     

Storage stability of a high protein food beverage powder prepared from the Nigerian ‘red skin’ groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) protein concentrates

A high protein, groundnut-based powder reconstitutable into a milk-like beverage was packed in polyethylene bags and in lacquered tin cans, and stored at both room temperature (25 ± 2°C) and in a domestic refrigerator (5 ± 2°C) for 60 days. Storage stability was evaluated by analysing periodically for changes in physical characteristics, proximate composition, and development of browning and rancidity, and assessing moisture sorption characteristics. Protein, lipid, total soluble sugars, peroxide value, total carbonyls and extinction values of the ethanolic extract remained practically constant during storage. The isotherm curves exhibited the characteristic sigmoidal shape typical of high protein foods. There was a greater increase in density, hygroscopicity and wettability in polyethylene-packed samples at both temperatures suggesting that the lacquered tin can leads to better keeping quality for this product.
