Study of the formant and duration in Chinese whispered vowel speech

Study on the acoustical characteristic is important to speech and speaker recognition in Chinese whispered speech. In this paper, the characteristics of whispered speech are introduced and the acoustical characteristics in Chinese whispered speech are discussed. There is no fundamental frequency in the whispered speech, so other characteristics such as the duration and frequency of formant are extracted and analyzed. From experiments with six simple Chinese whispered vowels, it is proved that the duration and the frequency of formant can be used as the main acoustical characteristics in the Chinese whispered recognition.     

Progress of Jinping Underground laboratory for Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA)

Jinping Underground laboratory for Nuclear Astrophysics(JUNA) will take the advantage of the ultra-low background of CJPL lab and high current accelerator based on an ECR source and a highly sensitive detector to directly study for the first time a number of crucial reactions occurring at their relevant stellar energies during the evolution of hydrostatic stars. In its first phase, JUNA aims at the direct measurements of~(25)Mg(p,γ)~(26)Al,~(19)F(p,α)~(16)O,~(13)C(α,n)~(16)O and ~(12)C(α,γ)~(16)O reactions. The experimental setup,which includes an accelerator system with high stability and high intensity, a detector system, and a shielding material with low background, will be established during the above research. The current progress of JUNA will be given.     

Enhanced electrochemical properties and thermal stability of LiNi<Subscript>1/3</Subscript>Co<Subscript>1/3</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>1/3</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> by surface modification with Eu<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>

Layered LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode material is synthesized via a sol-gel method and subsequently surface-modified with Eu₂O₃ layer by a wet chemical process. The effect of Eu₂O₃ coating on the electrochemical performances and thermal stability of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂@Eu₂O₃ cells is investigated systematically by the charge/discharge testing, cyclic voltammograms, AC impedance spectroscopy, and DSC measurements, respectively. In comparison, the Eu₂O₃-coated sample demonstrates better electrochemical performances and thermal stability than that of the pristine one. After 100 cycles at 1C, the Eu₂O₃-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ cathode demonstrates stable cyclability with capacity retention of 92.9 %, which is higher than that (75.5 %) of the pristine one in voltage range 3.0–4.6 V. Analysis from the electrochemical measurements reveals that the remarkably improved performances of the surface-modified composites are mainly ascribed to the presence of Eu₂O₃-coating layer, which could efficiently suppress the undesirable side reaction and increasing impedance, and enhance the structural stability of active material.

高功率激光终端KDP晶体非共线高效三倍频及远场色分离方案数值模拟分析

为满足高功率激光装置对终端光学系统的改进要求,控制3ω光路透射元件厚度以降低激光损伤风险,避免3ω非对称聚焦与色分离元件对靶场调靶产生不利影响,本文利用非共线相位匹配原理讨论了KDP晶体Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类两种和频产生351 nm(3ω)激光及其远场色分离过程.模拟结果表明,室温20?C环境中除目前常用的共线和频外,1053 nm(ω)与526.5 nm(2ω)激光可选择Ⅰ类或Ⅱ类两种非共线和频方式实现高效3ω激光输出并在激光远场实现色分离,且具有足够的高效转换失谐角容宽.计算表明,与Ⅰ类和频类似,Ⅱ类和频也存在一个非临界相位匹配过程,其匹配方向约为θ(3ω)=86.53?.可通过增加晶体厚度克服其有效非线性系数较低的缺点,实现3ω高效输出,失谐角容宽可达±20 mrad.为满足靶场需要,解决非共线角容宽苛刻带来的调节不便,并进一步使光路紧凑,将楔角为12?的熔石英楔板置于倍频晶体之后,ω与2ω激光在熔石英楔板后表面可产生约3.5 mrad分离角.经非共线和频,使用薄透镜即可实现聚焦及色分离.该方案完全满足终端光学系统的改进要求,可作为可靠的备选方案之一.     

Alpha Decay of the Neutron-deficient Isotopes 215,216U

The most neutron-deficient isotopes 215;216U were produced in the complete-fusion reaction 180W(40Ar, 4-5n)215,216U. Evaporation residues recoiled from the target were separated in-flight from the primary beam by the gas-filled recoil separator SHANS and subsequently identified on the basis of correlated -decay chains. Two -decaying states were identified in 216U, one for the ground state and the other for the isomeric state with 8+(h9=2f7=2) configuration. The -decay properties for 215;216U and the systematics of 8+ isomeric state in N =124,126 isotones were investigated.     

利用Landsat热红外数据研究1985年—2015年北京市冬季热场分布

由于北京城市中心区冬季供暖、汽车尾气、工业生产等因素的影响,以及冬季植被覆盖减少导致地表热惯量降低,致使北京市冬季地表热场与其他季节差异明显。冬季城市热场分布直接影响冬季大气颗粒物等污染物的扩散速度,因此,研究热场分布对了解城市热场在大气颗粒物污染中的贡献具有重要的意义。首先利用MODTRAN大气辐射传输模型计算大气透过率、大气上行辐射与大气下行辐射三个关键参数,通过构建查找表解算热红外波段辐射传输方程。使用数据模拟的手段评价了该方法的精度,结果表明,当比辐射率和水汽分别在±0.005和±0.6的误差范围内波动时,温度反演的误差分别小于0.348和2.117 K,表明该方法可达到较高的反演精度。选择长时间序列Landsat TM、ETM+数据,进行地表温度反演,得到1985年—2015年北京市的地表温度。基于反演的地表温度分析了北京市热场的时空分布。结果表明,北京冬季热场分布在空间上可分为四个层次：北京市二环内温度较高、二环到五环内低温环状特征明显、外围郊区温度高以及北京西部的山区温度最低;随着近30年来北京市的快速发展,热场分布在长时间序列中发生了明显的改变：随着北京城市的不断扩张,环状低温区域也不断扩大,从三环扩展到六环;城市二环以内热岛效应随时间推移而增强,且分布范围扩大。
