Thermodynamic properties of Ag2O--B2O3 glasses by a modified scale-transformed energy space sampling Monte Carlo method

The density of states of Ag(2)O--B(2)O(3) glasses has been calculated by using a modified scale-transformed energy space sampling algorithm. This algorithm combines the scale-transformed energy space sampling algorithm and the Wang-Landau method. It is shown how the two algorithms can be combined to improve the efficiency of calculation. The thermodynamic properties, in particular the specific heat C(V), of the above-mentioned glass system is studied. At temperatures above 80 K, the value of specific heat C(v) is close to 22 J/mol/K. At low temperatures, the deviations of C(v) from a T(3) behavior are discernible, that is, C(v)/T(3) exhibits a hump at T = 7 K, which is in good agreement with the reported experimental behavior.     

An automated blood sampling system to measure lovastatin level in plasma and faeces

The aim of this study was to develop an automated sampling method to measure lovastatin in a conscious and freely moving rat. The blood samples were collected by means of the automated blood sampling system DR-II and the faecal samples were collected using a metabolic cage. The concentration of lovastatin was determined by a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic system with a UV absorbance detector. The mobile phase contained acetonitrile and 10 mm NaH2PO4 in the proportions 60:40 (v/v) with a flow-rate of 1 mL/min. The calibration curve was linear in concentration ranges of 0.05-100 and 0.1-100 microg/mL for lovastatin in blood and faecal samples, respectively. Following pharmacokinetic analysis, we identified that the maximum plasma concentration was around 1.18 +/- 0.08 microg/mL at concentration peak time 120 min and almost 78% of loading dose was accumulated in the faeces within 48 h after lovastatin administration (500 mg/kg, p.o.).     

一步法设计单色仪凹面全息光栅

凹面全息光栅是光谱分析仪器的核心器件之一,其成像质量直接决定了光谱分析仪器的分辨本领。利用光程函数理论设计凹面全息光栅是一个繁琐的求解非线性方程组的过程,该过程分两步进行,每步需要求解四个非线性方程。分两步求解不但过程麻烦,还不可避免地引入了取舍误差,降低了最优参数的精度。为了解决该问题,本文提出了一种设计单色仪凹面全息光栅的新方法——一步法,该方法不但可以简化求解过程、降低最优参数的误差,还可以方便地控制整体像差的变化趋势。采用有较强全局搜索能力的遗传算法求解该方法中非线性方程的极值问题,并与传统的方法对比验证了该方法的可行性和正确性,结果表明,一步法不但在方法上比两步法简便,其设计结果还优于两步法。     

Enhanced Multiparty Controlled QSDC Using GHZ State

Recently, Gao et al. [Opt. Commun. 283 (2010) 192] pointed out that Wang et al.'s multiparty controlled quantum secure directcommunication (CQSDC) protocol [Opt. Commun. 266 (2006)732] has the information leakage problem and proposed an improvedprotocol. However, in the improved protocol, due to the introductionof an additional random sampling to avoid the weakness, the qubitefficiency is decreased. By introducing the base changing techniqueto the random sampling in Wang et al.'s protocol, this study overcomesthe information leakage problem and provides a better qubit efficiency.     

激光诱导击穿光谱脉冲激光功率锁定的研究

激光诱导击穿光谱(laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy,LIBS)在煤质在线监测方面展现了突出的应用前景和研究价值。针对该技术在实际应用中会由于脉冲激光功率起伏导致的长期测量稳定性差的问题,建立了闭环负反馈式脉冲激光功率锁定装置,采用激光功率负反馈信号控制和锁定Nd∶YAG激光器输出功率。实验研究了不同分光比例脉冲激光器锁定在设定输出功率,同一分光比例激光器锁定在不同输出功率以及长时间运行时的功率锁定。结果表明,不同的分光比例对激光输出功率的锁定效果影响不大,分光比例越小,稳定速度越快;同一分光比例实现激光脉冲功率不同预设值的锁定以及在长时间运行时,采用此装置进行功率锁定后,激光输出功率处于预设区间内,RSD值由自由运行时的2.4%降低至1.1%。     

棱镜-光栅-棱镜分光模块整体化设计及衍射特性分析

PGP模块是超光谱成像仪中重要分光器件。为了能够在制作前有效预测PGP整个系统的衍射效率分布及其衍射特性,提出了PGP整体化设计方法。从体位相全息光栅设计角度出发,结合棱镜与光栅各项参数的制约关系,编制了计算PGP整体衍射效率的分析软件,综合考察了棱镜与光栅各项参数对PGP模块衍射特性的影响,讨论了光栅布拉格波长的漂移特性,据此设计了一种用于成像光谱仪的宽波段高衍射效率PGP分光模块。模拟结果表明：棱镜1材料的色散系数越小,PGP的光谱带宽越窄;光栅布拉格波长的漂移增大了PGP模块和光栅的光谱带宽,带宽增大使光栅的角度选择性随之增大,拓宽了棱镜1材料的选择要求;棱镜1顶角、光栅的胶层厚度和相对介电常数调制度等参数是影响PGP衍射效率分布的重要因素,制作时需要精确控制。利用此方法设计的PGP分光模块在400～1 000 nm波段范围内衍射效率不低于50%,并给出具体设计参数,这对PGP制作具有一定的参考价值。

介绍国际上地面极大光学/红外望远镜的研制概况,分析高分辨率光谱仪与极大口径望远镜耦合中的难题,结果表明极大口径望远镜需要超大面积阶梯光栅和超快焦比相机。根据光谱仪与望远镜的匹配关系,30 m级极大口径望远镜的高分辨率光谱仪的准直光束将大于70 cm,主色散阶梯光栅的面积大于2 m2,照相机的焦比F/0.5,按照目前的制造技术无法提供上述光栅和相机,因此,提出高分辨率光谱仪与极大望远镜进行耦合的技术。针对耦合问题给出了相应解决方案,即采用像切分器、拼接光栅以及白瞳设计等技术将是极大口径望远镜与高分辨率光谱仪耦合的主要解决方案。     

Free-form deformation,mesh morphing and reduced-order methods: enablers for efficient aerodynamic shape optimisation

ABSTRACT

In this work, we provide an integrated pipeline for the model-order reduction of turbulent flows around parametrised geometries in aerodynamics. In particular, free-form deformation is applied for geometry parametrisation, whereas two different reduced-order models based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) are employed in order to speed-up the full-order simulations: the first method exploits POD with interpolation, while the second one is based on domain decomposition. For the sampling of the parameter space, we adopt a Greedy strategy coupled with Constrained Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations, in order to guarantee a good compromise between space exploration and exploitation. The proposed framework is tested on an industrially relevant application, i.e. the front-bumper morphing of the DrivAer car model, using the finite-volume method for the full-order resolution of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations.     

一种基于非参数贝叶斯模型的聚类算法

鉴于聚类分析是机器学习和数据挖掘领域的一项重要技术, 并且与监督学习不同的是聚类分析中没有类别或标签的指导信息, 所以如何选择合适的聚类个数(即模型选择)一直是聚类分析中的难点. 由此提出了一种基于Dirichlet过程混合模型的聚类算法, 并用collapsed Gibbs采样算法对混合模型的参数进行估计. 新算法基于非参数贝叶斯模型的框架, 能够在不断的采样过程中优化模型参数并形成合适的聚类个数. 在人工合成数据集和真实数据集上的聚类实验结果表明: 基于Dirichlet过程混合模型的聚类算法不但能够自动确定聚类个数, 而且具有较强灵活性和鲁棒性.
