Sliding mode control for Markov jump linear uncertain systems with partly unknown transition rates

In this paper, based on sliding mode control approach, the robust stabilisation problem for a class of continuous-time Markovian jump linear uncertain systems with partly unknown transition rates is investigated. The transition rate matrix under consideration covers completely known, boundary known and completely unknown elements. By making use of linear matrix inequalities technique, sufficient conditions are presented to derive the linear switching surface and guarantee the stochastic stability of sliding mode dynamics. Then a sliding mode control law is designed to drive the state trajectory of the closed-loop system to the specified linear switching surface in finite time in spite of the existing uncertainties and unknown transition rates. Finally, an example is given to verify the validity of the theoretical results.     

A novel clock generation algorithm for system-on-chip based on least common multiple

Due to increase in the number of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, clock generation in current day System-on-Chips (SoCs) is facing a crisis. The conventional method of using a dedicated Phase Locked Loop (PLL) to generate the clock for each IP core is becoming inefficient in terms of power and cost. We propose an algorithm based on Least Common Multiple (LCM) to minimize the number of PLLs required to generate the clocks for the IP cores in a SoC. This is done by finding an Optimum Operating Frequency (OOF) for each IP core within 10% below the maximum operating frequency of the core. The OOF is chosen such that the LCM of the OOF of all the IP cores is minimized. Simulated annealing is used to find the LCM. This LCM is the crucial high frequency from which maximum number of clocks can be derived by clock dividers.     

Gender,culture and determinants of behavioural intents to adopt mobile commerce among the Y Generation in transition economies: evidence from Kazakhstan

This study investigates perceived risk and trust in relationship to the Diffusion of Innovation Theory [Rogers, E.M., 1962. Diffusion of innovations. Glencoe, IL: The Free Press; 1983. Diffusion of innovations. 3rd ed. New York: The Free Press] from a cultural perspective to understand the determinants of behavioural intent to adopt mobile commerce among the Y Generation in Kazakhstan. Surveys from 345 university-level students and subsequent structural equation modelling revealed perceived risk, trustworthiness and Rogers’ five innovation characteristics are important determinants. Perceived risk and trustworthiness are important determinants because of the high uncertainty avoidance characteristics of the Kazakh society. This study advances theory regarding culture- and generation-based characteristics to transition economies by verifying theoretical proposition regarding the behavioural intent towards mobile commerce adoption, resulting in a greater understanding of mobile commerce adoption among the Y Generation in transition economies. Marketing implications are discussed.     

Dynamic response of Ti3SiC2 under shock compression up to 112 GPa

Ti₃SiC₂ is of interest due to its unique dual nature reminiscent of both brittle ceramics and ductile metals at ambient conditions. In this work, plate-impact experiments have been performed to study the dynamic behavior of Ti₃SiC₂ under shock compression up to 112 GPa by using laser velocity interferometer and electric pin techniques. Hugoniot elastic limits (HEL), spall strength, and Hugoniot equations of state have been obtained based on measured particle velocity profiles and shock wave velocities. The ratio of spall strength to HEL for Ti₃SiC₂ is larger than brittle ceramics but smaller than metals. This result indicates that the dual nature of Ti₃SiC₂ remains at least up to 10 GPa. On the other hand, the linearity of the Hugoniot equation of state, $D=6.9\text{0}1(22)+1.153(53)u_{\text{p}}$, suggests that the initial structure of Ti₃SiC₂ should be stable up to 112 GPa, in contrast to the result reported by Jordan et al. [J. Appl. Phys., 93 (2003) 9639].     

基于NSST和RI-LPQ的纹理图像检索

针对采用单一方法提取图像特征时检索率不高的问题,结合非下采样剪切波变换(NSST)统计特征和旋转不变的局部相位量化(RI-LPQ)原理,提出一种纹理图像检索方法。非下采样剪切波不仅具有方向选择性及平移不变性,而且可以对图像进行有效的稀疏表示,与传统小波相比,可有效捕捉图像的边缘轮廓等纹理信息,与非下采样轮廓波相比,具有更高的计算效率。利用广义高斯分布函数对图像NSST高频子带系数的统计特征进行分析,RI-LPQ描述算子直接提取图像特征,采用具有权重系数的相似性测度公式对Brodatz图像库进行纹理图像检索。实验结果表明,与传统小波和轮廓波的方法相比,NSST统计特征方法的平均检索率分别提高4.77%和1.44%,纹理图像检索方法的平均检索率分别提高7.36%和1.98%。

话题转换方式和句子长度对边界声学参数的影响

该文研究了不同话题转换方式和句子长度对边界处停顿、边界前延长量及音高重置的影响。语料是由两个句子构成的小语篇,通过改变第二个句子控制两种句子长度(短和长)和三种话题转换方式(延续、精述和转折)。20位发音人的语音分析结果显示: (1) 话题转换方式和句子长度对停顿及音高重置都有调节作用,但对边界前词的时长延长量没有显著影响。另外,两因素间没有交互作用。主要表现为: 边界后句子越长,句间停顿越长,且边界处的音高重置越大。从话题延续、话题精述到话题转折,停顿时长呈增长趋势,且音高重置度增大; (2) 停顿时长与边界前延长量存在较弱的负相关,与音高重置则存在较弱的正相关; (3) 相较于男性发音人,女性发音人对话题转换方式更为敏感,且更倾向于用停顿和音高两种声学线索标记话题转换方式。句长效应则在男女发音人中都稳定存在。以上结果表明,句长对边界处声学参数的影响基于底层发音机制,而话题转换方式的影响则是语言中信息传递的需要。     

Transition phenomena of polymers in mixed solvents in the vicinity of theta conditions: Effect of preferential adsorption

Viscosimetric measurements were obtained with the ternary systems polystyrene/dioxane/methanol, polystyrene/benzene/methanol and poly(methyl methacrylate)/dioxane/cyclohexane, changing the solvent mixture composition at constant temperature. The polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) systems exhibit a transition phenomenon with solvent-mixture composition in which the polymer is just above the theta condition. In the case where two theta conditions occur ((θ-intra, θ-inter) the transition point is closely related to the intramolecular theta conditions. Moreover the intramolecular theta conditions vary with the molecular weight in the region of molecular weights where the preferential adsorption also varies. This variation induces a variation of the transition point with molecular weight which obeys a formula analogous to that giving the variation of the preferential adsorption with molecular weight.
