改进的信道稀疏度检测正交多载波多普勒估计方法

针对正交频分复用水声移动通信中频域变采样技术联合信道稀疏度检测的多普勒估计算法在冰水混合区复杂信道环境下多普勒估计效果欠佳且计算量大的问题,提出了一种改进的多普勒估计算法。采用时域重采样技术对信号进行不同压缩因子的补偿,避免了频域变采样技术中的高阶快速傅里叶变换运算,从而降低了算法复杂度。利用梳状导频位置向量结合时域变采样技术更准确提取的导频子载波,进而获得更加精确的信道估计和信道稀疏度检测结果,提高了多普勒估计精度。仿真结果和冰下试验结果表明,与原始算法相比,改进的方法在冰水混合水域复杂多径时变信道环境下可以有效实现对信号多普勒畸变的跟踪并且计算量显著下降,能够保障正交频分复用水声移动实时通信。

以能量平衡方程为基础,采用不同的电导率唯象模型描述了液相放电等离子体圆柱形通道特性,得到了通道内半径、温度、电阻、电流和耗散能量随时间的变化关系,还给出了距离放电间隙中心一定距离处的冲击波压力变化,并与前人利用等离子体通道球状模型计算得到的结果进行了比较。结果表明：把等离子体通道看成球状和看成圆柱状在描述通道压力和通道半径时差异显著,而在描述其他物理特性时差别不大;三种电导率模型在描述等离子体通道物理特性时,变化趋势大体相同,而在描述激波特性时,电导率模型σ₂更符合实际;通过对比电学参数与压力参数的变化,就可以在实验中根据实验数据以及具体的研究问题进行模型的适用性选择。     

电子束长程传输中离子通道的振荡特性研究

离子通道可以有效抑制电子束在等离子体环境内传输过程中的径向扩散,已有工作研究了离子通道对电子束的影响,但离子通道建立过程和暂态特性研究则更有助于理解和利用离子通道在电子束长程传输中的作用。本文利用PIC方法对离子通道的时空分布进行二维模拟,并基于单粒子理论推导出描述离子通道振荡的解析模型,对上述两种模型的结果相互校验。上述模型的计算结果表明,在长程传输过程中,相对论电子束在等离子体内部建立的离子通道是持续周期振荡的,电子束密度、电子束初始半径以及环境等离子体密度都会对离子通道的振荡规律产生影响,针对不同的等离子体环境选择合适的电子束参数可以有效提高离子通道的稳定性,进而提升传输过程中电子束的束流质量。     

Discrete filter operators for large‐eddy simulation using high‐order spectral difference methods

The combination of a high‐order unstructured spectral difference (SD) spatial discretization scheme with sub‐grid scale (SGS) modeling for large‐eddy simulation is investigated with particular focus on the consistent implementation of a structural mixed model based on the scale similarity hypothesis. The difficult task of deriving a consistent formulation for the discrete filter within the SD element of arbitrary order led to the development of a new class of three‐dimensional constrained discrete filters. The discrete filters satisfy a set of selected criteria and are completely local within the SD element. Their weights can be automatically computed at run time from the number of solution points within each element and the expected filter cutoff length scale. The novel discrete filters can be applied to any SGS model involving explicit filtering and to a broad class of high‐order discontinuous finite element numerical schemes. The code is applied to the computation of turbulent channel flows at three Reynolds numbers, namely Re_τ = 180, 395, and 590 (based on the friction velocity u_τ and channel half‐width δ). Results from computations with and without the SGS model are compared against results from direct numerical simulation. The numerical experiments suggest that the results are sensitive to the use of the SGS model, even when a high‐order numerical scheme is used, especially when the grid resolution is kept relatively low and mostly in terms of resolved Reynolds stresses. Results obtained using existing filters based on the projection of the solution over lower‐order polynomial bases are also shown and demonstrate that these filters are inadequate for SGS modeling purposes, mostly because of their inability to enforce the selected cutoff length scale with sufficient accuracy. The use of the similarity mixed formulation proved to be particularly accurate in reproducing SGS interactions, confirming that its well‐known potential can be realized in conjunction with state‐of‐the‐art high‐order numerical schemes.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Quartz Crystal Microbalance Biosensor for Saxitoxin Based on Immobilized Sodium Channel Receptors

This work explored the possibility of coupling the toxin receptor-binding principle with the piezoelectric transduction principle. The sensing component of the saxitoxin biosensor involves a piezoelectric quartz crystal that was coated with sodium channel receptors. The sodium channel receptors were isolated from the electroplax organ of Electrophorus electricus. Binding of the sodium channel extracts to the quartz crystal was facilitated by pre-coating the gold electrode with a hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer of dodecanethiol. The instrumentation system consisted of a flow cell that held the quartz crystal, an oscillator circuit, an injection port, and a frequency counter that was connected to a personal computer. The various immobilization and measurement parameters were optimized. Binding of saxitoxin standards with the immobilized sodium channels was monitored through the decrease in the crystal oscillation frequency readings (ΔF) upon the introduction of saxitoxin into the flow cell. A calibration curve for saxitoxin was constructed by plotting the ΔF values vs. saxitoxin concentrations in the range from 0.1 to 2.0 μg/mL. A correlation coefficient of 0.9653 was obtained. The saxitoxin biosensor developed has the potential to be applied to the rapid screening of total paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins.

Synthesis and Structure Determination of SCM-15: A 3D Large Pore Zeolite with Interconnected Straight 12×12×10-Ring Channels

A new germanosilicate zeolite named SCM-15 (Sinopec Composite Material No. 15), the first zeolite containing a 3-dimensional (3D) channel system with interconnected 12-, 12-, and 10-ring channels (pore sizes: 6.1×7.2, 6.1×7.4, and 5.2×5.9 Å), has been synthesized using neutral 4-pyrrolidinopyridine as organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). Its structure has been determined by combining single-crystal electron diffraction (SCED) and synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (SPXD) data. The unique open framework structure of SCM-15 is related to that of FOS-5 ( BEC ), ITQ-7 ( ISV ), PKU-16 ( POS ), ITQ-26 ( IWS ), ITQ-21, Beta polymorph B, and SU-78B, since all these framework structures can be constructed from similar chains which are connected through shared 4-ring or double 4-ring (d4r) units. Based on this relation, six topologically reasonable 3D large or extra-large pore hypothetical zeolites are predicted.
