Spectral Changes Due to Performance Environment in Singers, Nonsingers, and Actors

From postrecording interviews of professional singers, it was hypothesized that recording environments, i.e., sound-treated environment versus an auditorium, may induce different vocal behaviors. To test this hypothesis, three groups consisting of nonsingers, singers, and actors were recorded in two different recording environments: a sound-treated booth (IAC) and an auditorium (AUD). Three recordings were obtained from each participant: recording one (IAC) and two (AUD1) required the participants to read in a normal voice; recording three (AUD2) required participants to pretend that they were "performing" before a full house. Results indicated that only the singers and the actors exhibited significant spectral and/or frequency/duration differences from one recording environment to another, with the most dramatic differences exhibited by the singers. It was concluded that the environment in which we record experimental samples from professional voice users, especially singers, should be considered as a variable that can affect results.     

A quantum dissipative system in an anisotropic non-linear absorbing environment

A canonical quantization scheme is represented for a quantum system interacting with a non-linear absorbing environment. The environment is taken anisotropic and the main system is coupled to its environment through some coupling tensors of various ranks. The non-linear response equation of the environment against the motion of the main system is obtained. The non-linear Langevin-Schrödinger equation is concluded as the macroscopic equation of motion of the dissipative system. The effect of non-linearity of the environment is investigated on the spontaneous emission of an initially excited two-level atom imbedded in such an environment.

Evaluation of Charged Defect Energy in Two-Dimensional Semiconductors for Nanoelectronics: The WLZ Extrapolation Method

Defects play a central role in controlling the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials and realizing the industrialization of 2D electronics. However, the evaluation of charged defects in 2D materials within first-principles calculation is very challenging and has triggered a recent development of the WLZ (Wang, Li, Zhang) extrapolation method. This method lays the foundation of the theoretical evaluation of energies of charged defects in 2D materials within the first-principles framework. Herein, the vital role of defects for advancing 2D electronics is discussed, followed by an introduction of the fundamentals of the WLZ extrapolation method. The ionization energies (IEs) obtained by this method for defects in various 2D semiconductors are then reviewed and summarized. Finally, the unique defect physics in 2D dimensions including the dielectric environment effects, defect ionization process, and carrier transport mechanism captured with the WLZ extrapolation method are presented. As an efficient and reasonable evaluation of charged defects in 2D materials for nanoelectronics and other emerging applications, this work can be of benefit to the community.     

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。     

Directed polymers in a random environment: Some results on fluctuations

We consider a polymer model on ℤ ₊ ^d where to each edgee is associated a random variable v(e). A polymer configuration is represented by a directed pathr and has a weight exp[-β ∑ _e ∈r ν(e)], withβ=1/T the inverse temperature. We extend some rigorous results that have been obtained for the ground state of this model to finite temperatures. In particular we obtain some upper and lower bounds on sample-to-sample free energy fluctuations, and also rigorous scaling inequalities between the exponents describing free energy fluctuations and transversal displacements of polymer configurations     

Nonlinear Filtering for Diffusions in Random Environments

Suppose that the signal X to be estimated is a diffusion process in a random medium W and the signal is correlated with the observation noise. We study the historical filtering problem concerned with estimating the signal path up until the current time based upon the back observations. Using Dirichlet form theory, we introduce a filtering model for general rough signal X ^W and establish a multiple Wiener integrals representation for the unnormalized pathspace filtering process. Then, we construct a precise nonlinear filtering model for the process X itself and give the corresponding Wiener chaos decomposition.     

The influence of space irradiated PIN photodetector on BER in satellite laser communication system

By analyzing the radiation dose on PIN photodetectors in space radiation environment, the variation of photocurrent and dark current after radiation is obtained. On the basis, the bit error rate of satellite laser communication based on space radiation dose of PIN photodetectors is established. According to simulation, when radiation dose is about 1.6 × 10³ Gy and 7 × 10⁴ Gy, bit error rate reaches 10⁻⁶ induced by 50 MeV and 10 MeV protons separately; and when radiation dose is within the range of 5 × 10 Gy–6 × 10⁵ Gy, electrons and gamma-ray irradiation also cause increase in bit error rate to 10⁻⁶. The principle of damage dose on bit error rate is investigated, and the influence of decision threshold on bit error rate is further discussed. The result shows that when radiation dose is 1 MGy, if decision threshold is increased from 4.3 × 10⁻⁷ A to 5.5 × 10⁻⁷ A, bit error rate will decrease about 4 orders of magnitude. Hence, a proper decision threshold can improve system bit error rate efficiently.     

复杂地理环境的图像分割及电波传播特性

复杂地理环境是电波传播不可避免的传播环境,不仅不规则地形会对电波传播产生影响,不同的地表媒质对电波传播也会产生不同的影响。为了使得电波传播特性的预测结果更加地准确有效,通过图像分割算法实现地表环境的简单分类,同时对不同的媒质赋予不同的电磁参数,并结合数字高程模型（DEM)数据,实现了既具有地形起伏信息又具有地表电磁环境参数的复杂地理环境建模。在此基础上,对地表电磁环境信息做了网格剖分处理,利用抛物方程（PE）模型对复杂地理环境下的电波传播特性进行了预测。
