Monitoring canopy nitrogen status in winter wheat of growth anaphase with hyperspectral remote sensing

Biomass, leaf area index (LAI) and nitrogen status are important parameters for indicating crop growth potential and photosynthetic productivity in wheat. Nondestructive, quick assessment of leaf dry weight, LAI and nitrogen content is necessary for nitrogen nutrition diagnosis and cultural regulation in wheat production. In order to establish the monitoring model of nitrogen richness in winter wheat of growth anaphase, studying the relationship between the nitrogen richness (NR) containing nitrogen density, LAI and leaf dry weight and the difference of hyperspectral reflectance rates (deltaR), we conducted a comparable experiment with five winter wheat varieties under nitrogen application level of 0, 100, 200 and 400 kg x N x ha(-1). The results indicated the NRs of the different varieties of winter wheat leaves increased with increasing growth stage while in the different nitrogen levels it was sequenced as: NO>N3>N1>N2. Twelve vegetation indices were compared with corresponding NR. The NR had significantly negative correlation to TCARI and VD672 in those vegetation indices, and their correlations (r) arrived at 0.870 and 0.855, respectively. The coefficients of determination (R2) of two models were 0.757 and 0.731 by erecting model with the two indexes and NR Root mean square error (RMSE), relative error (RE) and determination coefficient between measured and estimated NR were employed to test the model reliability and predicting accuracy. Accuracy rates of the models based on TCARI and VD672 achieved 84.56% and 80.13%. The overall results suggested that leaf nitrogen status of growth anaphase in winter wheat has stable relationships with some vegetation indexes, especially index of TCARI and VD672.     

Tunable optical-path correlator for distributed strain or temperature-sensing application

Based on a cavity-length tunable fiber-loop resonator, a multibeam optical path difference is generated. It can be used to match and correlate the reflective signals from the partial reflective ends of each sensing fiber gauge. The correlation signals correspond to the sensing gauge lengths, and the shift of the correlation peak is related with the fiber sensing gauge elongation caused by strain or temperature. Therefore, it can be used to measure distributed strain or deformation for smart structural monitoring.     

Optimal design of a multilayer diffractive optical element for dual wavebands

A method for optimal design of a multilayer diffractive optical element (MLDOE) for dual-wide-waveband optical systems is presented with consideration of polychromatic integral diffraction efficiency (PIDE) and the weight factors of PIDE for each waveband. The design process and simulation of a MLDOE in mid-wave and long-wave IR are described, and the comparison of diffraction efficiency of the MLDOEs for different design wavelength pairs determined by different methods is given. This method can make the design process more rational and more reasonable and can give a better design result than that with the conventional design method.     

Element segregation on the surfaces of pure aluminum foils

The surface segregation trend of trace elements in pure aluminum foils was investigated by density functional theory. The model of nine-layer Al(1 0 0) slab substituted partially by trace element atoms was proposed for calculating surface segregation energy. The calculating results show that (i) B, Mg, Si, Ga, Ge, Y, In, Sn, Sb, Pb and Bi exhibit negative segregation energy and possibly move to the surface, while Be, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zr exhibit positive segregation energies and migrated into the bulk; (ii) the segregation energy was found to be related with the covalent radius, the relaxed position at the surface of the substituting atom and the surface energy; (iii) the segregation behavior of trace element generates lots of defects and dislocation, which can increase the initial pitting nucleation sites in the surface of aluminum foils; (iv) the impurity atom concentration was tested with Pb-doped surfaces, the calculated negative segregation energies in all coverage increases rapidly with the Pb coverage. These conclusions are helpful for designing of the chemical composition and to advance the tunnel etching of aluminum foils.     

An Intrinsic Rigidity Theorem for Closed Minimal Hypersurfaces in S5 with Constant Nonnegative Scalar Curvature

Let M⁴ be a closed minimal hypersurface in \(\mathbb{S}^5\) with constant nonnegative scalar curvature. Denote by f₃ the sum of the cubes of all principal curvatures, by g the number of distinct principal curvatures. It is proved that if both f₃ and g are constant, then M⁴ is isoparametric. Moreover, the authors give all possible values for squared length of the second fundamental form of M⁴. This result provides another piece of supporting evidence to the Chern conjecture.

Optimal seat allocation for two-flight problems with a flexible demand segment

In this paper, we study a two-flight model where there are two flights between two cities in a day (e.g., one departs at 9:00 am and another at 11:00 am) and booking requests in each fare class arrive according to a random process. There are three types of booking requests: the first and second types are respectively for the first and the second flight only; whereas the third type is flexible and willing to take either flight. Upon receiving a booking request, the airline has to decide whether to accept it, and in case a third type is accepted, which flight to accommodate it. This paper uncovers the structure of optimal booking policies through four monotone switching curves. We also present an extension of the basic model to multiple-flight case. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the derivation and the dynamics of the optimal booking policies.
