脉冲泄流时土壤条件对冲击接地阻抗的影响

 为了探寻电流脉冲泄流时，设备的接地是否有效可靠，用FDTD法分析了脉冲泄流时均一土壤、分层土壤及局部改善土壤的电导率对冲击接地阻抗（TGR）的影响。结果表明：大地电导率对冲击接地阻抗的影响很大；对均一土壤，TGR随大地电导率的增大而减小，大地电导率越大，TGR对接地体的埋深越不敏感。对分层土壤，接地体要埋在大地电导率大的土壤层中，且不要靠近交界面；局部改善大地导电性能对降低TGR效果明显，TGR对改善区域的体积非常敏感，而当电导率大于一定值时，大地电导率的再增加，对TGR的影响不明显。     

蝙蝠喉部发声组织建模及发声机理*

建立蝙蝠发声组织模型对超声机理研究及在智能设备的应用具有重要意义。根据蝙蝠喉部发声组织结构特点,通过有限元方法构建了蝙蝠的3种不同发声组织模型,分析了尺寸、材料力学参数、组织结构和张力4个因素对发声组织特征频率的影响。结果表明,如果用人类声带,按比例缩小构建蝙蝠喉部组织模型,蝙蝠无法发出超声波。构建组织结构含甲状软骨和声带的半鼓状模型和只含声带的条状模型,两种模型的特征频率相近且在合理的参数域内均无法达到超声范围。而含膜条状模型的特征频率可以通过张力进行超声频率的调节,这与文献的实验结果一致。因此,可基于含膜条状模型对蝙蝠喉管发声组织进行建模及其发声机理研究。

Note on the Design Differentiability of the Static Response of Elastic Structures

This paper provides a new proof of design sensitivity of the static response of some typical structures. These structures (beams, plates, and plane elastic solids) have been described previously. A proof of design sensitivity of the inverse state operator was provided there, and design sensitivity of static response was derived. The proof presented here is simpler and self-contained.     

Synthesis,structure and properties of aquabis(2,4′-bipyridine)di(propionato-O)copper(II)

The title complex has been synthesized and characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy, conductivity studies and X-ray crystallography. In the crystal, the complex has two-fold symmetry and the copper atom adopts square pyramidal coordination. Bond valences for Cu were computed. Cu–O_(propionate) bonds are slightly stronger than the Cu–N bonds, and the Cu–O_(water) bond is distinctly weaker. Molecules are linked by O–H···O hydrogen bonds to form infinite hydrogen-bonded chains along the y axis.     

Mixed parallel processors with interdependent blocking

This paper studies a system of parallel service facilities or processors with mixed exponential and non-exponential queues, a non-exponential finite source input and interdependent arrival as well as departure blocking such as due to a common pool or shared resource. A concrete invariance condition upon the blocking protocol is provided. Under this condition the stationary busy source distribution is shown to be of an insensitive product form. The result unifies and extends known product form results as will be illustrated by several examples.     

On the number of curves of genus 2 over a finite field

In this paper we compute the number of curves of genus 2 defined over a finite field k of odd characteristic up to isomorphisms defined over k; the even characteristic case is treated in an ongoing work (G. Cardona, E. Nart, J. Pujolàs, Curves of genus 2 over field of even characteristic, 2003, submitted for publication). To this end, we first give a parametrization of all points in , the moduli variety that classifies genus 2 curves up to isomorphism, defined over an arbitrary perfect field (of zero or odd characteristic) and corresponding to curves with non-trivial reduced group of automorphisms; we also give an explicit representative defined over that field for each of these points. Then, we use cohomological methods to compute the number of k-isomorphism classes for each point in .     

An Application of Branch and Cut to Open Pit Mine Scheduling

The economic viability of the modern day mine is highly dependent upon careful planning and management. Declining trends in average ore grades, increasing mining costs and environmental considerations will ensure that this situation will remain in the foreseeable future. The operation and management of a large open pit mine having a life of several years is an enormous and complex task. Though a number of optimization techniques have been successfully applied to resolve some important problems, the problem of determining an optimal production schedule over the life of the deposit is still very much unresolved. In this paper we will critically examine the techniques that are being used in the mining industry for production scheduling indicating their limitations. In addition, we present a mixed integer linear programming model for the scheduling problems along with a Branch and Cut solution strategy. Computational results for practical sized problems are discussed.     

Boundary conditions of Sturm-Liouville operators with mixed spectra

We study bounds on averages of spectral functions corresponding to Sturm-Liouville operators on the half line for different boundary conditions. As a consequence constraints are obtained which imply existence of singular spectrum embedded in a.c. spectrum for sets of boundary conditions with positive measure and potentials vanishing in an interval [0,N]. These constraints are related to estimates on the measure of sets where the spectral density is positive.     

Computing Zeta Functions of Kummer Curves via Multiplicative Characters

We present a practical polynomial-time algorithm for computing the zeta function of a Kummer curve over a finite field of small characteristic. Such algorithms have recently been obtained using a method of Kedlaya based upon Monsky–Washnitzer cohomology, and are of interest in cryptography. We take a different approach. The problem is reduced to that of computing the L-function of a multiplicative character sum. This latter task is achieved via a cohomological formula based upon the work of Dwork and Reich. We show, however, that our method and that of Kedlaya are very closely related.Dedicated to the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota
