基于CARS技术的超燃冲压发动机点火过程温度测量

相干anti-Stokes Raman散射（coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering，CARS）技术作为一种非接触测量手段，已广泛应用于多种发动机模型燃烧室温度测量及地面试验.然而，目前的工作主要集中在稳态燃烧场温度的测量，缺乏用高分辨率的单脉冲来测量瞬变的燃烧火焰温度及组分浓度的研究.基于CARS理论，结合多参数拟合算法，开发了基于MATLAB的CARS光谱计算和拟合程序CARSCF；利用McKenna平面火焰炉在不同工况下进行了温度测量，并与DLR测量结果进行对比，结果显示开发的CARSCF具有较高的测量重复性和准确性；最后将CARS技术应用于测量超燃冲压发动机点火过程中的温度测量，获取了点火过程中的温度.结果显示，在来流Mach数为3的条件下，H₂/air点火过程中温度呈现急剧上升然后缓慢下降，而CARS信号则呈现急剧上升然后急剧下降随后又缓慢上升的趋势，并且在点火过程中最高温度为1 511 K.      

微波瑞利散射法测定空气电火花激波等离子体射流的时变电子密度

大气压空气电火花激波等离子体射流的电子密度在亚微秒时间尺度上瞬变,其电子密度的测定很难.基于微波瑞利散射原理,本文测量了空气电火花冲击波流注放电等离子体射流的时变电子密度.实验结果表明:测量系统的标定参数A为1.04 × 105 V·Ω·m–2;空气流注放电等离子体射流的电子密度与等离子体射流的半径和长度有关,结合高速放电影像展示的等离子体射流的等效半径和等效长度,测定的电子密度在1020 m–3的量级,且随时间先快速增长至峰值再成指数衰减.此外,本文还探讨了等离子体射流的不同等效尺度对测定结果的影响;分析结果表明,采用时变等效半径和时变等效长度的计算结果最有效,且第1个快速波峰是由光电离的电离波导致的.     

Asymptotic results for weighted means of linear combinations of independent Poisson random variables

ABSTRACT

In this paper we prove the large deviation principle for a class of weighted means of linear combinations of independent Poisson distributed random variables, which converge weakly to a normal distribution. The interest in these linear combinations is motivated by the diffusion approximation in Lansky [On approximations of Stein's neuronal model, J. Theoret. Biol. 107 (1984), pp. 631–647] of the Stein's neuronal model (see Stein [A theoretical analysis of neuronal variability, Biophys. J. 5 (1965), pp. 173–194]). We also prove an analogue result for sequences of multivariate random variables based on the diffusion approximation in Tamborrino, Sacerdote, and Jacobsen [Weak convergence of marked point processes generated by crossings of multivariate jump processes. Applications to neural network modeling, Phys. D 288 (2014), pp. 45–52]. The weighted means studied in this paper generalize the logarithmic means. We also investigate moderate deviations.     

Measurement Uncertainty and Its Connection to Quantum Coherence in an Inertial Unruh–DeWitt Detector

The dynamic characteristics of measured uncertainty and quantum coherence are explored for an inertial Unruh–DeWitt detector model in an expanding de Sitter space. Using the entropic uncertainty relation, the uncertainty of interest is correlated with the evolving time t, the energy level spacing δ, and the Hubble parameter H. The investigation shows that, for short time, a strong energy level spacing and small Hubble parameter can result in a relatively small uncertainty. The evolution of quantum coherence versus the evolving time and Hubble parameter, which varies almost inversely to that of the uncertainty, is then discussed, and the relationship between uncertainty and the coherence is explicitly derived. With respect to the l₁ norm of coherence, it is found that the environment for the quantum system considered possesses a strong non-Markovian property. The dynamic behavior of coherence non-monotonously decreases with the growth of evolving time. The dynamic features of uncertainty and coherence in the expanding space with those in flat space are also compared. Furthermore, quantum weak measurement is utilized to effectively reduce the magnitude of uncertainty, which offers realistic and important support for quantum precision measurements during the undertaking of quantum tasks.     

Measuring fluorescence to track a quantum emitter's state: a theory review

We review the continuous monitoring of a qubit through its spontaneous emission, at an introductory level. Contemporary experiments have been able to collect the fluorescence of an artificial atom in a cavity and transmission line, and then make measurements of that emission to obtain diffusive quantum trajectories in the qubit's state. We give a straightforward theoretical overview of such scenarios, using a framework based on Kraus operators derived from a Bayesian update concept; we apply this flexible framework across common types of measurements including photodetection, homodyne, and heterodyne monitoring and illustrate its equivalence to the stochastic master equation formalism throughout. Special emphasis is given to homodyne (phase-sensitive) monitoring of fluorescence. The examples we develop are used to illustrate basic methods in quantum trajectories, but also to introduce some more advanced topics of contemporary interest, including the arrow of time in quantum measurement, and trajectories following optimal measurement records derived from a variational principle. The derivations we perform lead directly from the development of a simple model to an understanding of recent experimental results.     

单颗金刚石切削无氧铜的声发射关联维特征*

声发射技术可以实现无氧铜切削加工特征的监测与评价。采用声发射技术监测单颗金刚石磨粒旋转切削无氧铜，利用G-P算法重构出声发射时域信号相空间，采用自相关函数法计算出相空间时间延迟参数，通过相空间双对数曲线的计算，得到不同切削工况下的关联维数。研究结果表明，进给速度和切削速度对声发射信号影响较不显著，切深与声发射信号振幅呈正效应关系；声发射信号双对数曲线呈现阶段性增加趋势，并逐渐收敛于饱和状态，关联维数随着嵌入维数的增加先快速下降后趋于平稳；金刚石切削无氧铜的声发射信号具有混沌运动变化特性，在较小嵌入维数时，关联维数与切深和切削速度呈现线性负效应关系，与进给速度呈现线性正效应关系。该研究为无氧铜的切削加工提供理论参考。     

Volatile organic compounds in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma—An in vitro pilot study

Owing to the lack of specific symptoms, diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be delayed. We evaluated volatile organic compounds in tumor samples from patients suffering from HNSCC and tested the hypothesis that there is a characteristic altered composition in the headspace of HNSCC compared with control samples from the same patient with normal squamous epithelium. These results provide the basis for future noninvasive breath analysis in HNSCC. Headspace air of suspected tumor and contralateral control samples in 20 patients were analyzed using ion-mobility spectrometry. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed in 16 patients. In total, we observed 93 different signals in headspace measurements. Squamous cell carcinomas revealed significantly higher levels of volatile cyclohexanol (0.54 ppb_v, 25th to 75th percentiles 0.35–0.86) compared with healthy squamous epithelium (0.24 ppb_v, 25th to 75th percentiles 0.12–0.3; p < 0.001). In conclusion, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma emitted significantly higher levels of volatile cyclohexanol in headspace compared with normal squamous epithelium. These findings form the basis for future breath analysis for diagnosis, therapy control and the follow-up of HNSSC to improve therapy and aftercare.     

Cross-polarization with magic-angle spinning kinetics and impedance spectroscopy study of proton mobility,local disorder,and thermal equilibration in hydrogen-bonded poly(methacrylic acid)

The ¹H–¹³C cross-polarization with magic-angle spinning (CP MAS) kinetics was studied in poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) having the purpose to track the links between the local order in the main chain and the proton dynamics in peripheral hydrogen bond networks. The experimental CP MAS kinetic curves were analyzed applying the models of isotropic and anisotropic spin-diffusion with thermal equilibration. The fractal dimension D_p ≈ 3 was deduced that indicates that PMAA behaves as an isotropic 3D-system. No proton conductivity in the neat PMAA was deduced from the impedance spectroscopy data analyzing the frequency dependences of the complex dielectric permittivity. The value of local order parameter S = 0.70 for CH₂ in PMAA occupies an intermediate position between 0.63 and 0.85 deduced for CH₂ sites in the main chains of poly(vinyl phosphonic acid) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), that is, the true proton conductor and the polymer that contains the H-bond network, however, no proton conductivity, respectively.
