中国西北地区沙尘暴的发生规律研究

借助MATLAB软件,根据中国西北地区六个省份1981～2005年沙尘暴发生天数、月平均风速、大风发生天数、月平均气温、月降水量、月平均相对湿度的统计数据,研究中国西北地区沙尘暴的区域分布和时间分布规律及其与气象因子的关系.方差分析结果表明:西北地区沙尘暴危害程度省份差异不显著,不同观测站所在地沙尘暴危害程度的差异显著,不同月份沙尘暴危害程度的差异也显著;聚类分析结果表明:拐子湖等站点所在地受沙尘暴危害最严重,各年4月份受沙尘暴危害最严重,北京地区8月份几乎不发生沙尘暴;相关分析结果表明:西北地区沙尘暴的气候影响因子为月平均风速、月大风发生天数和月相对湿度.由回归分析得到,沙尘暴每月发生天数y随月份t的变化规律为正态分布.研究结果可供有关部门参考.     

Regional characteristics of naturally occurring radionuclides in surface sediments of Chinese deserts and the Keum River area of Korea

Naturally occurring radionuclides (NORN) such as ⁴⁰K, ²²⁶Ra and ²³²Th from 44 surface sediment samples collected from four desert regions of Chinese were determined to investigate the regional characteristics of the source areas of Asian dust. The radionuclides for 41 surface sediment samples collected from seven sites of the Keum River area in Korea were also determined to compare the regional characteristics with the Chinese desert area. The specific activities (SA) and the specific activity ratios (SAR) of the radionuclides were investigated for distinguishing the source region of Asian dust. The SA of ²²⁶Ra and ²³²Th as well as the SAR of ²²⁶Ra/⁴⁰K and ²³²Th/⁴⁰K were found to be useful to characterize source area and tracing Asian dust.

Assortment planning for vertically differentiated products under a consider-then-choose model

Consider-then-choose models, borne out by empirical literature in marketing and psychology, note that customers follow a two-stage procedure to choose among alternatives. In this paper, we consider the assortment optimization problem of a retailer who manages a category of vertically differentiated products under customers’ consider-then-choose behavior. We characterize some structural results of the optimal assortment and find that the problem can be solved as the shortest path problem. Also, we develop an efficient algorithm to identify an optimal assortment.

Acoustic power dependences of sonoluminescence and bubble dynamics

The decreasing effect of sonoluminescence (SL) in water at high acoustic powers was investigated in relation to bubble dynamics and acoustic emission spectra. The intensity of SL was measured in the power range of 1–18 W at 83.8 kHz for open-end (free liquid surface and film-covered surface) and fixed-end boundaries of sound fields. The power dependence of the SL intensity showed a maximum and then decrease to zero for all the boundaries. Similar results were obtained for sonochemiluminescence in luminol solution. The power dependence of the SL intensity was strongly correlated with the bubble dynamics captured by high-speed photography at 64 k fps. In the low-power range where the SL intensity increases, bubble streamers were observed and the population of streaming bubbles increased with the power. At powers after SL maximum occurred, bubble clusters came into existence. Upon complete SL reduction, only bubble clusters were observed. The subharmonic in the acoustic emission spectra increased markedly in the region where bubble clusters were observed. Nonspherical oscillations of clustering bubbles may make a major contribution to the subharmonic.

A novel analog fuzzy controller for intelligent sensors

A new analog fuzzy logic controller implemented in CMOS technology is described. The chosen membership function generator keeps the needed area for the inference engine very small while giving a big flexibility in the configuration of the membership function. The proposed solution for defuzzification gives an additional area reduction over earlier implementations. High speed, low power fuzzy controller hardware make the chip appropriate for intelligent sensor application. Simulation results as well as test measurements are presented and discussed to illustrate the properties and robustness of the proposed circuit.     

利用排列熵检测近40年华北地区气温突变的研究

运用一种新的动力学突变检测方法——排列熵(permutation entropy，PE)算法，计算并分析了中国华北地区52个站点1960年—2000年逐日平均气温资料的排列熵演化情况，发现中国华北地区气温在20世纪70年代中期、80年代初均发生了较大突变；进一步用经验模态分解(empirical mode decomposition，EMD)方法对排列熵序列进行逐级平稳化处理，结果发现这一地区的气温突变与准10年这一年代际时间尺度的周期变率密切相关，其原因与太阳黑子活动有着密切联系. 关键词： 华北 突变 排列熵算法 经验模态分解     

On the cardinality of the Pareto set in bicriteria shortest path problems

Computing shortest paths with two or more conflicting optimization criteria is a fundamental problem in transportation and logistics. We study the problem of finding all Pareto-optimal solutions for the multi-criteria single-source shortest-path problem with nonnegative edge lengths. The standard approaches are generalizations of label-setting (Dijkstra) and label-correcting algorithms, in which the distance labels are multi-dimensional and more than one distance label is maintained for each node. The crucial parameter for the run time and space consumption is the total number of Pareto optima. In general, this value can be exponentially large in the input size. However, in various practical applications one can observe that the input data has certain characteristics, which may lead to a much smaller number—small enough to make the problem efficiently tractable from a practical viewpoint. For typical characteristics which occur in various applications we study in this paper whether we can bound the size of the Pareto set to a polynomial size or not. These characteristics are also evaluated (1) on a concrete application scenario (computing the set of best train connections in view of travel time, fare, and number of train changes) and (2) on a simplified randomized model. It will turn out that the number of Pareto optima on each visited node is restricted by a small constant in our concrete application, and that the size of the Pareto set is much smaller than our worst case bounds in the randomized model. A preliminary short version of this paper appeared in the Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Algorithm Engineering (WAE 2001), LNCS 2141, Springer Verlag, pp. 185–197 (2001) under the title “Pareto shortest paths is often feasible in practice.”
