Modified characteristic finite difference fractional step method for moving boundary value problem of percolation coupled system

For the coupled system with moving boundary values of multilayer dynamicsof fluids in porous media,a characteristic finite difference fractional step scheme appli-cable to the parallel arithmetic is put forward.Some techniques,such as the change ofregions,the calculus of variations,the piecewise threefold quadratic interpolation,themultiplicative commutation rule of difference operators,the decomposition of high orderdifference operators,and the prior estimates,are adopted.The optimal order estimatesin the l2norm are derived to determine the error in the approximate solution.This nu-merical method has been successfully used to simulate the flow of migration-accumulationof the multilayer percolation coupled system.Some numerical results are well illustratedin this paper.

Low-dimensional nonlinearity of ENSO and its impact on predictability

Using a hybrid coupled model, we perform a bred vector (BV) analysis and retrospective ENSO (El Niño and the Southern Oscillation) forecast for the period from 1881 to 2000. The BV local dimension and BV-skewness inherent to the intensity of nonlinearity are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on exploring the nature of the low-dimensional nonlinearity of the ENSO system and the relationship between BV-skewness and model prediction skills. The results show that ENSO is a low-dimensional nonlinear system, and the BV-skewness is a good measure of its predictability at the decadal/interdecadal time scales. As the low-dimensional nonlinearity of ENSO is weakened, high predictability is attained, and vice versa. The low-dimensional nonlinearity of ENSO is also investigated and verified using observations.Another finding in this study is the relationship between the error growth rate (BV-rate) and actual prediction skill. While there is a good positive correlation between them in some decades, the BV-rate demonstrates a strong inverse correlation with the prediction skill in other decades. The BV-rate components contributed by the nonlinear process play a dominant role in quantifying ENSO predictability. The possible mechanism for the link between BV-rate, BV-skewness and ENSO predictability is discussed.     

Use of chemical etching of CR-39 foils at elevated temperature for fast neutron personnel monitoring in India

CR-39 Solid State Nuclear Track Detecting foils (SSNTD), along with 1 mm thick polyethylene radiator, sealed in triple laminated pouches, are used for country wide Fast Neutron Personnel Monitoring in India. With the present system of processing by elevated temperature electrochemical etching (ETECE) and evaluation using automatic image analysis, only 16 foils are processed at a time and it is useful over the dose equivalent range 0.2 mSv to 10 mSv. It has been reported that, by processing CR-39 of good detection efficiency by chemical etching at elevated temperature, more numbers of foils can be processed simultaneously. In the present study, CR-39 foils from Pershore Moulding (UK) have been chemically etched using 7 N KOH under various conditions of temperature and etching durations and evaluated using high magnification microscope. The duration of chemical etching, has been optimized at a constant temperature of 60°C for chemical etching process. The characteristics of the chemically etched CR-39 foils are compared with the characteristics of the CR-39 foils processed by the existing system of ETECE and the detailed results are presented in the full text of the paper. It has been observed that by chemical etching process, the dose equivalent range of CR-39 foils can be extended above 60 mSv.

为了实现对基于自由摆的平板的控制,建立了基于自由摆的平板控制系统.首先分析平板的控制转角与自由摆转角的关系,推导出关系式,再对控制单元、反馈单元进行分析比较给出方案,采用32位LPC2138(ARM7)处理器为平板控制系统的中央控制单元,实现由高精度电位器测量出摆动角度后由步进电机控制的平板在周期摆动中做相应反馈调整,然后在现有器件的基础上编制出控制软件,在设备上进行调试,最后对系统的精度进行分析并进行实际测量.测量结果表明激光笔在摆动中照射在靶板上的光斑偏离基准线最大0.89cm,基本满足对平板的控制要求.     

Granular dampers for the reduction of vibrations of an oscillatory saw

Instruments for surgical and dental application based on oscillatory mechanics submit unwanted vibrations to the operator’s hand. Frequently the weight of the instrument’s body is increased to dampen its vibration. Based on recent research regarding the optimization of granular damping we developed a prototype granular damper that attenuates the vibrations of an oscillatory saw twice as efficiently as a comparable solid mass.
