Maximizing Trip Coverage in the Location of a Single Rapid Transit Alignment

This article describes several heuristics for the construction of a rapid transit alignment. The objective is the maximization of the total origin-destination demand covered by the alignment. Computational results show that the best results are provided by a simple greedy extension heuristic. This conclusion is confirmed on the Sevilla data for scenarios when the upper bound for inter-station distance is greater than 1250 m. Otherwise, when those upper bounds are smaller (750 m and 1000 m), an insertion heuristic followed by a post-optimization phase yields the best results. Computational times are always insignificant.     

Electrostatic lenses

The various types of electrostatic lenses that are used to control beams of ions or electrons are briefly described, together with the computational techniques for evaluating their properties. Particular emphasis is placed on the calculation and minimization of the aberrations of these lenses. In computer-aided designs of lens systems it is convenient to have lens properties available in the form of numerical approximations, and the achievement of this is discussed. Special types of lens, such as the zoom lens, are also discussed.     

基于平稳过滤有色噪声地震动模型的MTMD性能评价

研究了由许多刚度和阻尼保持为常量且频率呈线性分布的TMDs形成的MTMD的地震特性。基于虚拟激励法和平稳过滤有色噪声地震动模型，建立了结构－MTMD系统的传递函数，进而导出了设置MTMD时结构的动力放大系数（DMF）明确表达式。于是MTMD的优化准则可定义为Min.Min.Max.DMF。通过最优搜寻可得MTMD的最优频率间隔、平均阻尼比、调谐频率比和相应的无量纲控制有效性指标。目前的论文通过考虑结构受控频率与地震加速度卓越频率比的不同取值和不同场地类型，研究地震卓越频率和场地类型对MTMD最优参数及有效性的影响。同时与基于Kanai-Tajimi平稳过滤白噪声地震动模型和不考虑地震加速度卓越频率(ωg=∝）两种情况的结果进行了比较。     

Experimental study on supersonic film cooling on the surface of a blunt body in hypersonic flow

The experimental study focuses on the heat flux on a double cone blunt body in the presence of tangential-slot super- sonic injection into hypersonic flow. The tests are conducted in a contoured axisymmetric nozzle with Mach numbers of 7.3 and 8.1, and the total temperature is about 900 K. The injection Mach number is 3.2, and total temperature is 300 K. A constant voltage circuit is developed to supply the temperature detectors instead of the normally used constant current circuit. The schlieren photographs are presented additionally to visualize the flow and help analyze the pressure relationship between the cooling flow and the main flow. The dependence of the film-cooling effectiveness on flow parameters, i.e. the blow ratio, the convective Mach number, and the attack angle, is determined. A semi-empirical formula is tested by the present data, and is improved for a better correlation.     

The economics of social computing: Some preliminary findings on healthcare organizations

Large-scale organizations have used social computing platforms for various purposes. This research focuses on how hospitals utilize these platforms to attract potential customers (which represents the “extensivity” of a social computing platform) and generate interests in specific topics (which represents the “intensivity” of a platform). Specifically, we examine the effects of size of a hospital (or “size”) and the time that the social computing platform has been in existence (or “time”) on extensivity and intensivity. Our findings show that time is a significant variable on both dimensions; whereas size affects intensivity under certain conditions. We discuss the implications of these findings, and set the stage for future research.     

Coercivity enhancement of HDDR-processed Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet with the rapid hot-press consolidation process

High coercivity, fully dense anisotropic permanent magnets of submicron grain sizes were produced by rapid hot-press consolidation of hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination (HDDR) processed Nd-Fe-Co-B powders. In the hot-press process, the coercivity of the consolidated material showed a sharp minimum prior to full densification. Thereafter, it reached a value 25% higher than that of the initial powder. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that the variation in H_cJ was caused by a redistribution of Nd along the grain boundaries during hot pressing and that the high coercivity was attributable to the formation of thin, continuous Nd-rich phase along the grain boundaries.

基于BLT方程的双层腔体屏蔽效能计算方法

基于波导理论,将BLT方程进一步拓展,提出一种可快速、准确地计算双层腔体内任意点屏蔽效能的方法。首先将腔体壁孔所在面等效为二端口网络,腔体等效为两端短路的波导,建立信号流图。引入孔阻抗计算二端口网络散射参数,依据信号流图构建广义BLT方程,得到内层腔体中心线上点的屏蔽效能;然后根据波导理论的场分布特性,推导出腔体内任意点电场与腔体中心线上电场的关系,最终得到内层腔体内任意点的屏蔽效能。将计算结果与等效电路法及CST数值仿真结果对比,三者吻合良好,计算结果在较大频率范围内比等效电路法精度更高。该方法可以准确预测双层腔体在0~2.5 GHz范围内所有谐振点,有助于分析腔体谐振现象,且计算效率较高,占用资源大幅减少。
