On-line matrix addition for detecting aerosol particles

Single aerosol particles were measured by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) with an aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ATOFMS). The inlet to the ATOFMS was coupled with an evaporation/condensation flow cell that allowed matrix addition by condensation onto the particles. The coated particles entered the ion source through three-stage differentially pumped capillary inlet and were then ionized by a focused 266 nm Nd:YAG laser. The mass spectra and aerodynamic size of the single particles can be obtained simultaneously. The on-line matrix addition technique makes it possible to identify biological aerosols in real-time.     

DESIGN OF POLYPHASE WAVE DIGITAL FILTERS WITH APPROXIMATELY LINEAR PHASE

It is well known that IIR digital filters require quite fewer computations,comparedwith FIR filters,in order to meet stringent magnitude specifications when the phase distortioncan be tolerated.An approximately linear phase,however,can be also obtained with the IIRfilter by making use of a technique without increasing the complexity.Based on a certain numberof attenuation zeros in the pass band,a new approach is developed for the design of polyphasewave digital filters with exact magnitude responses and Chebyshev approximation of the desiredphase responses.The minimum number of attenuation zeros is estimated,and some examples areincluded.     

Geometric modeling and analysis of detonation cellular stability

A geometric model with a low computational complexity capable of simulating detonation behavior in physical systems is proposed. In support of the geometric model development, a series of cylindrical 1D simulations with a variable size initiation kernel are performed in hydrogen-oxygen mixtures. From these 1D simulations a detonation cell stabilization mechanism is identified. The stabilization mechanism is predicated on the size of the gap between the pressure and temperature fronts at the point where the average pressure front velocity along one cell length is equal to the CJ velocity. This gap, in a multidimensional detonation, is the ignition kernel of a subsequent blast, and dictates the formation of the subsequent cell. Serial analysis of blasts in this context leads to a unique stable blast kernel size for any mixture, which, within the uncertainty of the initial kernel state, can predict the experimental cell length for mixtures considered in this study. Using a tabulation of the 1D simulations as an input, a formulation and sample results of the geometric model are shown. The geometric model can reproduce both qualitative and quantitative features of experimental detonation cellular structure.     

Unified routing protocol based on passive bandwidth measurement in heterogeneous WMNs

The past few years have witnessed a surge of wireless mesh networks (WMNs)‐based applications and heterogeneous WMNs are taking advantage of multiple radio interfaces to improve network performance. Although many routing protocols have been proposed for heterogeneous WMNs, most of them mainly relied on hierarchical or cluster techniques, which result in high routing overhead and performance degradation due to low utilization of wireless links. This is because only gateway nodes are aware of all the network resources. In contrast, a unified routing protocol (e.g., optimal link state routing (OLSR)), which treats the nodes and links equally, can avoid the performance bottleneck incurred by gateway nodes. However, OLSR has to pay the price for unification, that is, OLSR introduces a great amount of routing overhead for broadcasting routing message on every interface. In this paper, we propose unified routing protocol (URP), which is based on passive bandwidth measurement for heterogeneous WMNs. Firstly, we use the available bandwidth as a metric of the unification and propose a low‐cost passive available bandwidth estimation method to calculate expected transmission time that can capture the dynamics of wireless link more accurately. Secondly, based on the estimated available bandwidth, we propose a multipoint relays selection algorithm to achieve higher transmission ability and to help accelerate the routing message diffusion. Finally, instead of broadcasting routing message on all channels, nodes running URP transmit routing message on a set of selected high bandwidth channels. Results from extensive simulations show that URP helps improve the network throughput and to reduce the routing overhead compared with OLSR and hierarchical routing.

Measurement of mineral solubilities in the ternary systems NaCl−ZnCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>−H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O and MgCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>−ZnCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>−H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O at 373 K

In this work, the solubilities of the salt minerals and the densities of solution in two ternary systems sodium chloride–zinc chloride–water and magnesium chloride–zinc chloride–water were measured at 373 K using an isothermal solution saturation method. Based on the determined equilibrium solubility data and the corresponding equilibrium solid phase, the phase diagrams and density diagrams of the two systems were plotted. The results show that the two ternary systems are complex and the eutectic points, the univariant solubility curves and the solid crystalline phase regions are shown and discussed. The phase diagram of the ternary system NaCl?ZnCl₂?H₂O at 373 K is constituted of two eutectic points, three univariant solubility curves and three solid crystalline phase regions corresponding to NaCl, ZnCl₂ and 2NaCl · ZnCl₂. And the phase diagram of the ternary system MgCl₂?ZnCl₂?H₂O at 373 K includes two eutectic points, three univariant solubility curves and three solid crystalline phase regions corresponding to MgCl₂ · 6H₂O, MgCl₂ · ZnCl₂ · 5H₂O and ZnCl₂.

Unsteady waves in a liquid containing vapor bubbles

Unsteady wave processes in vapor-liquid media containing bubbles are investigated taking into account the unsteady interphase heat and mass transfer. A single velocity model of the medium with two pressures is used for this, which takes into account the radial inertia of the liquid with a change in volume of the medium and the temperature distribution in it [1]. The system of original differential equations of the model is converted into a form suitable for carrying out numerical integration. The basic principles governing the evolution of unsteady waves are studied. The determining influence of the interphase heat and mass transfer on the wave behavior is demonstrated. It is found that the time and distance at which the waves reach a steady configuration in a vapor-liquid bubble medium are considerably less than the correponding characteristics in a gas-liquid medium. The results of the calculation are compared with experimental data. The propagation of acoustic disturbances in a liquid with vapor bubbles was studied theoretically in [2]. The evolution of waves of small but finite amplitude propagating in one direction in a bubbling vapor-liquid medium is investigated in [3, 4] on the basis of the generalization of the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation obtained by the authors. An experimental investigation of shock waves in such a medium is reported in [5, 6], and the structure of steady shock waves is discussed [7].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Hekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 117–125, September–October, 1984.
