Estimation of partially specified spatial panel data models with random-effects

In this article, we study estimation of a partially specified spatial panel data linear regression with random-effects. Under the conditions of exogenous spatial weighting matrix and exogenous regressors, we give an instrumental variable estimation. Under certain sufficient assumptions, we show that the proposed estimator for the finite dimensional parameter is root-N consistent and asymptotically normally distributed and the proposed estimator for the unknown function is consistent and asymptotically distributed. Consistent estimators for the asymptotic variance-covariance matrices of both the parametric and unknown components are provided. The Monte Carlo simulation results verify our theory and suggest that the approach has some practical value.     

爆炸荷载作用下方形夹芯板动力学响应与优化设计数值分析

为研究方形蜂窝铝板在爆炸荷载作用下的动力学响应,基于LS-DYNA非线性有限元软件,建立了TNT炸药-前后面板-蜂窝夹芯-空气的三维有限元模型。采用ALE(任意的拉格朗日欧拉)多物质流固耦合算法分析了蜂窝铝板在冲击荷载作用下的变形机理、塑性变形、能量吸收以及结构的优化。数值模拟结果表明:随着面板厚度、核心高度的增加,蜂窝铝板在冲击荷载作用下的塑性变形明显减小,抵抗变形的能力增强;随着爆轰入射角度的增加,结构的破坏程度有所减小,入射角越大这种效果越发明显。对结构给定边长和受冲击面积以及面板厚度配合比、夹芯量纲为一的高度进行了局部的优化分析,为设计优质铝蜂窝板提供参考。     

Pitch-Based Laminated Carbon Formed by Pressure Driving at Low Temperature as High-Capacity Anodes for Lithium Energy Storage Systems

Pitch has been used to prepare electrodes by high-temperature heat treatments for supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, on account of its rich aromatic ring structure. Here, the toluene-soluble component of pitch is used to prepare a kind of laminated carbon. This was realized by a template-free synthesis at low temperature with the addition of pressure. The toluene-soluble component has a small molecular weight, which makes the thermal deformation ability stronger and then enhances the orientation of the carbon layer with the help of pressure. The prepared anode exhibits a splendid electrochemical performance compared with the traditional graphite anode. A high stable capacity of approximately 550 mAh g⁻¹ at 50 mA g⁻¹, which is much higher than graphite (372 mAh g⁻¹), is obtained. Also, when the current density is up to 2 A g⁻¹, the capacity is about 150 mAh g⁻¹. Surprisingly, it also delivers a superior cycling performance. And when used as the anode/cathode electrode for lithium-ion capacitors, a high energy density can be obtained. The present work offers an opportunity to utilize the pitch source in lithium energy storage with promising cycle life, high energy/power density, and low cost.

Panel‐based stratified cluster sampling and analysis for photovoltaic outdoor measurements

We study a stratified multisite cluster‐sampling panel time series approach in order to analyse and evaluate the quality and reliability of produced items, motivated by the problem to sample and analyse multisite outdoor measurements from photovoltaic systems. The specific stratified sampling in spatial clusters reduces sampling costs and allows for heterogeneity as well as for the analysis of spatial correlations due to defects and damages that tend to occur in clusters. The analysis is based on weighted least squares using data‐dependent weights. We show that this does not affect consistency and asymptotic normality of the least squares estimator under the proposed sampling design under general conditions. The estimation of the relevant variance–covariance matrices is discussed in detail for various models including nested designs and random effects. The strata corresponding to damages or manufacturers are modelled via a quality feature by means of a threshold approach. The analysis of outdoor electroluminescence images shows that spatial correlations and local clusters may arise in such photovoltaic data. Further, relevant statistics such as the mean pixel intensity cannot be assumed to follow a Gaussian law. We investigate the proposed inferential tools in detail by simulations in order to assess the influence of spatial cluster correlations and serial correlations on the test's size and power. ©2016 The Authors.

Behavior of a Cylindrical Drop under Multi-Frequency Vibration

The behavior of an inviscid-fluid drop surrounded by a different fluid under the action of multi-frequency vibration is investigated. The second-order effects in the vibration amplitude are studied. A superharmonic resonance is registered. The stability of the forced oscillations with respect to small perturbations is studied. The condition of the onset of parametric resonance is found. An average drop shape is investigated. The two-frequency case is considered as a particular case of multi-frequency vibration.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 18–28.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Alabuzhev and Lyubimov.
