RADIATIVE FORCING AND GREENHOUSE EFFECT DUE TO THE ATMOSPHERIC TRACE GASES

The radiative forcing and greenhouse effect due to the atmospheric trace gases have been calculated by using an advanced radiative-convective model developed in this paper. The relationship between radiative forcing and concentration is given for each trace gas. The resuhs show that (ⅰ) the radiative forcing and then the greenhouse effect are significantly affected by the overlapping of atmospheric absorption bands; (ⅱ) the increasing concentration of trace gases other than CO_2, such as CH_4, N_2O, CFCs, etc., may potentially play an important role in the future global warming;(ⅲ) the proposed substitutes, such as HCFC124 and HFC125, for the chlorofluorocarbons which are considered to destroy the ozone layer have still considerable greenhouse effect even though their ozone depletion potentials are much smaller than CFCs; and (ⅳ) the feedback processes within the earth-atmosphere system have important effect on the surface temperature change due to the radiative forcing to the system.

集值均衡问题近似Benson真有效解的非线性刻画

在一般的数学模型中,由于要忽略一些次要因素,所建的模型往往是近似的,且对数学模型利用数值算法所求得的解大多是近似解。另一方面,在可行集非紧的情况下,精确解的解集往往是空集,而在较弱的条件下近似解集可以是非空的。在Hausdorff局部凸拓扑线性空间中分别研究了无约束和带约束集值均衡问题近似Benson真有效解。在没有任何凸性假设下,利用非线性泛函分别建立了最优性条件。     

Influence of the vertical profile of Saharan dust on the visible direct radiative forcing

The vertical profile of Saharan dust in the atmosphere is generally characterized by a large aerosol concentration in the mid troposphere, differently from the climatological distribution of other types of particles, that show a peak at the surface and a rapid decrease with height. Saharan dust is also characterized by particles of relatively large size of irregular shape, and variable values of the single scattering albedo (the ratio between radiation scattering and extinction). The dust's peculiar vertical distribution is expected to produce an effect on the calculation of the direct aerosol radiative forcing at the surface and at the top of the atmosphere. This effect is investigated by comparing estimates of aerosol direct visible radiative forcing at the surface and at the top of the atmosphere for dust vertical profiles measured in the Mediterranean, and for the climatological profile. The radiative forcing is estimated by means of an accurate radiative transfer model, and for the ocean surface. The sensitivity of the results on the solar zenith angle, aerosol optical depth, and aerosol absorption is also investigated. The aerosol radiative forcing at the surface shows a very small dependency on the aerosol vertical profile. At the top of the atmosphere, the radiative forcing is weakly dependent on the vertical profile (up to 10% variation on the daily average forcing) for low absorbing particles; conversely, it shows a strong dependency (the daily radiative forcing may vary up to 100%) for absorbing particles. The top of the atmosphere visible radiative forcing efficiency produced by dust having single scattering albedo <0.7 is higher by 4 W m⁻² when the observed vertical profile instead of the standard profile is used in the calculations (i.e. it produces a lower cooling). For values of the single scattering albedo around 0.67, the sign of the forcing depends on the vertical profile. The influence of the vertical distribution on the radiative forcing is largest at small values of the solar zenith angle, and at short wavelengths.     

Optimum covariate designs in a binary proper equi-replicate block design set-up

The choice of covariates values for a given block design attaining minimum variance for estimation of each of the regression parameters of the model has attracted attention in recent times. In this article, we consider the problem of finding the optimum covariate design (OCD) for the estimation of covariate parameters in a binary proper equi-replicate block (BPEB) design model with covariates, which cover a large class of designs in common use. The construction of optimum designs is based mainly on Hadamard matrices.     

An Overview of Key Technologies in Physical Layer Security

The open nature of radio propagation enables ubiquitous wireless communication. This allows for seamless data transmission. However, unauthorized users may pose a threat to the security of the data being transmitted to authorized users. This gives rise to network vulnerabilities such as hacking, eavesdropping, and jamming of the transmitted information. Physical layer security (PLS) has been identified as one of the promising security approaches to safeguard the transmission from eavesdroppers in a wireless network. It is an alternative to the computationally demanding and complex cryptographic algorithms and techniques. PLS has continually received exponential research interest owing to the possibility of exploiting the characteristics of the wireless channel. One of the main characteristics includes the random nature of the transmission channel. The aforesaid nature makes it possible for confidential and authentic signal transmission between the sender and the receiver in the physical layer. We start by introducing the basic theories of PLS, including the wiretap channel, information-theoretic security, and a brief discussion of the cryptography security technique. Furthermore, an overview of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication is provided. The main focus of our review is based on the existing key-less PLS optimization techniques, their limitations, and challenges. The paper also looks into the promising key research areas in addressing these shortfalls. Lastly, a comprehensive overview of some of the recent PLS research in 5G and 6G technologies of wireless communication networks is provided.

Proper actions on cohomology manifolds

Essential results about actions of compact Lie groups on connected manifolds are generalized to proper actions of arbitrary groups on connected cohomology manifolds. Slices are replaced by certain fiber bundle structures on orbit neighborhoods. The group dimension is shown to be effectively finite. The orbits of maximal dimension form a dense open connected subset. If some orbit has codimension at most , then the group is effectively a Lie group.

     

Simulation of the inherent turbulence and wake interaction inside an infinitely long row of wind turbines

The turbulence in the interior of a wind farm is simulated using large eddy simulation and the actuator line technique implemented in the Navier–Stokes equations. The simulations are carried out for an infinitely long row of turbines simulated by applying cyclic boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet. The simulations investigate the turbulence inherent to the wind turbines as no ambient turbulence or shear is added to this idealised case. The simulated data give insight into the performance of the wind turbines operating in the wake of others as well as details on key turbulent quantities. One of the key features of wakes behind wind turbines is the dynamic wake meandering, which is shown to be related to the wind turbine spacing and the vortex shedding from the turbine as a bluff body. The flow is analysed and reconstructed by applying proper orthogonal decomposition.     

First countable, countably compact spaces and the continuum hypothesis

We build a model of ZFC+CH in which every first countable, countably compact space is either compact or contains a homeomorphic copy of with the order topology. The majority of the paper consists of developing forcing technology that allows us to conclude that our iteration adds no reals. Our results generalize Saharon Shelah's iteration theorems appearing in Chapters V and VIII of Proper and improper forcing (1998), as well as Eisworth and Roitman's (1999) iteration theorem. We close the paper with a ZFC example (constructed using Shelah's club-guessing sequences) that shows similar results do not hold for closed pre-images of .
