维吾尔语词首音节元音声学分析

该文利用“维吾尔语语音声学参数数据库”,统计分析和归纳了维吾尔语词首音节元音的共振峰模式及其分布格局。声学元音图有多种画法,该文采用JOOS型声学元音图。这种元音图的特点是以F1为纵坐标,以F2为横坐标。这样绘制成的声学元音图与元音舌位图有很好的对应性。维语标准音词首音节中有[y, i, e, O, u, o, ;, A]等8个元音。舌位前后的分布特点是[u, o, A]为后元音,[y, i, e, O, ;]为前元音;开口度(舌位高低)分布特点是[y, i, u]为高元音,[e, O, o]为次高元音,[;]为次低元音, [A]为低元音.     

The modeling of mode choices of intercity freight transportation with the artificial neural networks and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

Mode choice modeling is probably the most important element of transportation planning. It affects the general efficiency of travel and the allocation of resources. The development of mode choice models has recently witnessed significant advances in many fields, such as passenger and freight transport. A large number of mathematical models have been used to model the traveler’s choice of mode and destination and the shipper’s choice of mode, shipment size and supply market, among others. Such models are not only becoming almost intractable but also data intensive, difficult to calibrate and update, and intransferable. These models cover a wide range of mathematical complexity and accuracy. This paper describes a new approach to mode choice of intercity freight transport modeling using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models. The new approach combines the learning ability of artificial neural networks and the transparent nature of fuzzy logic. The approach is found to be highly adaptive and efficient in investigating non-linear relationships among different variables. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model is tested on the freight transport market in Turkey, Germany, France and Austria by using information on the freight flows and their attributes. The ANNs and ANFIS models are more successful in the representation of the non-linear behavior of mode choice of intercity freight transport compared to the classical models.     

An Objective Deghosting Quality Metric for HDR Images

Reconstructing high dynamic range (HDR) images of a complex scene involving moving objects and dynamic backgrounds is prone to artifacts. A large number of methods have been proposed that attempt to alleviate these artifacts, known as HDR deghosting algorithms. Currently, the quality of these algorithms are judged by subjective evaluations, which are tedious to conduct and get quickly outdated as new algorithms are proposed on a rapid basis. In this paper, we propose an objective metric which aims to simplify this process. Our metric takes a stack of input exposures and the deghosting result and produces a set of artifact maps for different types of artifacts. These artifact maps can be combined to yield a single quality score. We performed a subjective experiment involving 52 subjects and 16 different scenes to validate the agreement of our quality scores with subjective judgements and observed a concordance of almost 80%. Our metric also enables a novel application that we call as hybrid deghosting, in which the output of different deghosting algorithms are combined to obtain a superior deghosting result.

The structure and photocatalytic performances of mechanically synthesized poly(3′,4′‐ethylenedioxy‐2,2′:5′,2″‐Terthiophene)/Zno composites

Poly(3′,4′‐ethylenedioxy‐2,2′:5′,2″‐terthiophene)/ZnO(poly(TET)/ZnO) composites with the ratio of poly(TET) and nano‐ZnO from 3:1 to 1:3 were synthesized by hand grinding and ball milling methods, respectively. The photocatalytic activities of the composites were examined through the degradation processes of methylene blue (MB) solution under UV light irradiation, and the possible mechanism for the photocatalytic activity enhancement by synergetic effects between nano‐ZnO and poly(TET) was proposed. The results showed that the strong interactions between the poly(TET) and nano‐ZnO occurred in the case of ball milling method. The results also proved that the crystallinity of ZnO was not disturbed in both of methods, and the nano‐ZnO was uniformly distributed in polymer matrix in the case of ball milling method. The comparative studies showed that the addition of the nano‐ZnO could enhance the photocatalytic activities of the composites. The highest degradation efficiency (100%) at 3 h under UV light irradiation occurred in the case of poly(TET)/ZnO(1:1) synthesized by ball milling method. Furthermore, the nanocompsosite displayed higher photocatalytic activity than nano‐ZnO, which was due to the holes (h⁺) transferring from the valence band of ZnO to the polymer backbone and the adsorption of MB molecules in polymer matrix via π–π conjugation between MB and aromatic regions of the poly(TET).

Chemical looping gasification of cotton stalk with bimetallic Cu/Ni/olivine as oxygen carrier

Bimetallic Cu/Ni/olivine oxygen carriers (OCs) were prepared using olivine as support material for chemical looping gasification (CLG). The cyclic redox behaviors and oxygen carrying capacity (R_o) of OCs were evaluated by thermo-gravimetric analysis. The effect of Cu/Ni ratio, gasification temperature, steam to biomass ratio (S/B), oxygen carrier to biomass ratio (OC/B) on CLG of cotton stalk has been studied in a fixed bed. The OCs characterized using BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) to investigate the physicochemical property of OCs during CLG. Result shows that the sintering problem of OC was progressively alleviated with the increasing Cu/Ni ratio. The olivine behaves as suitable OC support with oxygen carrying capacity of 1.07%. The redox reactivity of all of the OCs kept well during multiple redox cycles. The R_o of OCs progressively increased with the Cu/Ni ratio. By comparing the product gas concentration, carbon conversion, H₂ + CO yield and gas yield over the invested OCs, the Cu9/Ni6/O was found to demonstrate better comprehensive CLG performance due to the synergistic effect of Cu and Ni. The maximum gas yield, H₂ + CO yield and carbon conversion with Cu9/Ni6/O can be obtained at the S/B of 0.8 and OC/B of 2. Compared to theoretical value, 65% of lattice oxygen has been supplied by Cu9/Ni6/O during actual CLG process. The OC displayed better reactivity due to basic crystalline phase being preserved well during multiple CLG cycles.
