Chaos in complex motor networks induced by Newmanben Watts small-world connections

We investigate how dynamical behaviours of complex motor networks depend on the Newman-Watts small-world (NWSW) connections. Network elements are described by the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with the values of parameters at which each individual PMSM is stable. It is found that with the increase of connection probability p, the motor in networks becomes periodic and falls into chaotic motion as p further increases. These phenomena imply that NWSW connections can induce and enhance chaos in motor networks. The possible mechanism behind the action of NWSW connections is addressed based on stability theory.

A combined multi-channel Wiener filter-based noise reduction and dynamic range compression in hearing aids

Noise reduction (NR) and dynamic range compression (DRC) are basic components in hearing aids, but generally these components are developed and evaluated independently of each other. Hearing aids typically use a serial concatenation of NR and DRC. However, the DRC in such a concatenation negatively affects the performance of the NR stage: the residual noise after NR receives more amplification compared to the speech, resulting in a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) degradation. The integration of NR and DRC has not received a lot of attention so far. In this paper, a multi-channel Wiener filter (MWF)-based approach is presented for speech and noise scenarios, where an MWF-based NR algorithm is combined with DRC. The proposed solution is based on modifying the MWF and the DRC to incorporate the conditional speech presence probability in order to avoid residual noise amplification. The goal is then to analyse any undesired interaction effects by means of objective measures. Experimental results indeed confirm that a serial concatenation of NR and DRC degrades the SNR improvement provided by the NR, whereas the combined approach proposed here shows less degradation of the SNR improvement at a low increase in distortion compared to a serial concatenation.     

Simulation of the electrostatic and transport properties of 3D-stacked GAA silicon nanowire FETs

This paper presents a detailed comparative study of the switching characteristics of resistive memory devices, with NiO or HfO₂ active materials and Pt electrodes, based on identical integration schemes. Material screening and qualification are performed using structural and composition analyses. Preliminary electrical investigations outline the non-polar switching behavior of both HfO₂ and NiO devices. Then, by using a specific test setup, we present a systematic comparative study of HfO₂ and NiO devices, clearly showing the tunability of the electrical characteristics with material type and process. HfO₂ devices lead to largest High Resistance State/Low Resistance State ratios and higher forming voltages compared to NiO cells, while reset voltages are similar. Data retention of both materials show highly stable Low Resistance State, while High Resistance State increases over time under 85 °C baking.     

Regulating the slow magnetic relaxation behavior of two different shapes Dy4 clusters with in situ formed penta- and heptadentate Schiff base ligands

The design and synthesis of clusters possessing the same number of cores but different connection methods and properties have always been difficult. Herein, we used 2-pyridinaldehyde, 1,3-diamino-2-propanol, and Dy (ClO₄)₃·6H₂O at room temperature (RT) to obtain the cluster [Dy₄(L¹)₄(μ₂-OH)₄]·4ClO₄⁻ ( 1 , HL¹ = 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde-1,3-diamino-2-propanol) with square Dy₄O₈ cluster cores. Cluster 1 consisted of four Schiff base ligands (L¹)⁻, four Dy(III) ions, four bridged (μ₂-OH)⁻, and four free ClO₄⁻. The ligand HL¹ was formed by in situ Schiff base reaction with 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde and 1,3-diamino-2-propanol in the presence of Dy(III) ions. 2-Aldehyde-8-hydroxyquinoline, 1,3-diamino-2-propanol, and Dy (NO₃)₃·6H₂O reacted at RT to yield a tetranuclear Dy(III) cluster [Dy₄(L²)₂(μ₃-OH)₂(NO₃)₄(EtOH)₂]·2CH₃CN ( 2 , H₃L² = 2-aldehyde-8-hydroxyquinoline-1,3-diamino-2-propanol) with butterfly-shaped Dy₄O₆ cluster core. Cluster 2 consisted of two ligands (L²)³⁻, four Dy(III) ions, two bridged μ₃-OH, two end-group-coordinated ethanol molecules, and four bidentate-chelated NO₃⁻. The in situ reaction of 2-aldehyde-8-hydroxyquinoline and 1,3-diamino-2-propanol under Dy(III) ion-assisted catalytic conditions provided the ligand H₃L². It is worth noting that the magnetic test showed that 1 is a typical single-molecule magnet (SMM), whereas 2 only showed a significant frequency dependence behavior. We considered Orbach and Raman processes (τ⁻¹ = τ₀⁻¹ exp(−U_eff/k_BT) + CTⁿ) to fit 1 and 2 in the high-temperature range and obtained U_eff = 7.01 and 5.43 K and τ₀ = 1.18 × 10⁻⁴ and 4.14 × 10⁻⁵ s, respectively.     

Interval analysis of nonlinear frames with uncertain connection properties

Semi-rigid connections can often be a more economical solution for a framing system than one with either fully fixed connections or fully pinned ones. In view of the fact that the properties of such ductile and partial-strength connections are not known accurately, this paper presents a method for the obtention of both upper and lower bound responses of semi-rigid frames for possible variations in their moment-rotation properties. The latter are thus assumed to be known within some key upper and lower bound values, namely a constitutive law that is still deterministic but is described in terms of a so-called “interval” model. A mathematical programming approach is used to formulate and solve the problem. In particular, for each load level, a pair of nonstandard optimization problems known as interval mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (or interval MPECs) are solved to provide the required bounds. A number of examples are provided to highlight the important effects of considering uncertainties in semi-rigid connection properties.
