A note on scheduling identical coupled tasks in logarithmic time

The coupled tasks problem consists in scheduling n jobs on a single machine. Each job i is made of two operations with processing times a_i and b_i and a fixed required delay L_i between them. Operations cannot overlap in time but operations of different jobs can be interleaved. The objective is to minimize the makespan of the schedule. In this note we show that the problem with identical jobs (∀i,a_i=a,b_i=b,L_i=L) can be solved in O(logn) time when a,b,L are fixed. This problem is motivated by radar scheduling applications where tasks corresponding to transmitting radiowaves and listening to potential echoes are coupled.     

Radar placement based on a geometric uncertainty multiplier reduction criterion

In this paper the problem of retrieving wind field information from Doppler radar data motivates the formulation of a method to design radar network configurations. The problem of estimating wind velocities from radar data is posed and used to construct a certain retrieval operator. This operator contains a factor that may be interpreted as an uncertainty multiplier. It depends on the geometry of the configuration of the radar network. The uncertainty multiplier is shown to vary continuously with perturbations of the network configuration. It is also shown to be a generalization of the Doppler angle condition used in meteorology. Numerical examples are presented to determine a network of five radars minimizing the uncertainty multiplier for the problem. Also, a configuration of sites is determined that maximizes the area of the Doppler region.     

High Power Gyro-Devices for Plasma Heating and Other Applications

Gyrotron oscillators are mainly used as high power millimeter wave sources for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH), electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD), stability control and diagnostics of magnetically confined plasmas for generation of energy by controlled thermonuclear fusion. The maximum pulse length of commercially available 1 MW gyrotrons employing synthetic diamond output windows is 5 s at 110 GHz (CPI and JAERI-TOSHIBA), 12 s at 140 GHz (FZK-CRPP-CEA-TED) and 10 s at 170 GHz (GYCOM and JAERI-TOSHIBA), with efficiencies slightly above 30%. Total efficiencies of 45–50 % have been obtained using single-stage depressed collectors (SDC). The energy world record of 160 MJ (0.89 MW at 180 s pulse length and 140 GHz) at power levels higher than 0.8 MW has been achieved by the European FZK-CRPP-CEA-TED collaboration at FZK. Operation at the 1^st and the 2^nd harmonic of the EC frequency enables gyrotrons to act as medium power step-tunable mm- and sub-mm wave sources in the frequency range from 38 GHz (fundamental) to 889 GHz (2nd harmonic) for plasma diagnostics, EC plasma discharges for generation of multi-charged ions, high-frequency broadband electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and medical applications. Gyrotrons have also been successfully used in materials processing. Such technological applications require gyrotrons with the following parameters: f 24 GHz, P_out = 4–50 kW, CW, 30%. Future applications which await the development of novel high-power gyro-amplifiers include high resolution radar ranging and imaging in atmospheric and planetary science as well as deep-space and specialized satellite communications and RF drivers for next-generation high-gradient linear accelerators (supercolliders). The present paper reviews the state-of-the-art and future prospects of gyro-devices and their applications.

应用ICP-MS测定油菜蜜、油菜花和油菜杆中微量元素

应用电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)测定了收集于9个采样点的油菜蜜及其蜜源油菜花和油菜杆中Na,Mg,P,K,Ca,Mn,Zn,Rb,Sr和Ba等10种元素。在油菜蜜、油菜花和油菜杆中K,P,Ca,Mg和Na等五种元素含量均明显高于Zn,Rb,Mn,Sr和Ba,前五种元素含量大小顺序为K>P>Ca>Mg>Na,后五种元素含量在三者中的大小顺序则不尽相同。油菜花和油菜杆中K,P和Ca三种元素的含量均高于1 000 mg·kg-1,油菜花中P,Ca,Mn,Zn和Rb等五种元素的平均含量均高于油菜杆,可以初步推断油菜花富集元素的能力略强于油菜杆。在上述测定结果基础上,首次应用雷达图对油菜蜜及其蜜源油菜花和油菜杆中10种元素的关系进行了研究,主要是为了对将油菜花中元素含量用于蜂蜜溯源研究的可能性进行探索。从雷达图可以看出,10种元素在油菜蜜、油菜花和油菜杆中的星形基本类似。此研究为油菜蜜的相关研究提供基础数据,同时为利用油菜花中元素含量代替油菜蜜中元素含量进行油菜蜜溯源提供了一定的科学依据。     

Benefits of space-time diversity for radar

When designing a new radar system, standard resolution trade-offs play a major role, providing the basic parameters of the radar, such as size, update rate, and range. Besides, diversity has long been used for mitigating fading effects due to the fluctuation of targets and clutter.However, with the arrival of more flexible systems, using multiple parallel channels on transmit and receive, and wider instantaneous bandwidths, these standard trade-offs are becoming less simple—and more flexible. In this communication, we will analyse the benefits of diversity and its relations with range, Doppler, and angle, for detection and location of moving targets with wideband/wide-beam radar systems. The idea is to contribute to a better understanding of the real benefits of agile transmissions for detection/localization of moving targets, focusing on range, velocity, and angular measurement improvements, as well as on the benefits for detection of moving targets.Special attention will be given to the quality of the different wideband wide-beam sensor modes for long-range surveillance, and new results on detection of moving targets in clutter will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of these new architectures for small target detection at long range, in difficult environments.
