Increased urinary excretion rates of serotonin and metabolites during bedrest

Astronauts are often on a voluntarily reduced energy intake during space missions, possibly caused by a metabolic or emotional stress response with involvement of the central serotonergic system (SES). We investigated 24 h urinary excretion (24 h-E) of serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindol acidic acid as indicators of the SES in healthy males under two different normocaloric conditions: normal physical activity (NPA) and -6 degree head-down-tilt (HDT). HDT or NPA were randomly arranged with a recovery period of 6 months in between. 24 h-E of hormones varied widely among individuals. Values were higher in HDT compared to NPA. Assuming that the 24 h-E values are, beside being indicators for alterations in the number and metabolism of platelets. Also indicators of central SES, HDT condition seems to activate central SES in a higher degree compared to NPA. Therefore, changes in central SES might be involved in the mechanisms associated with space flight or microgravity, including possible maladaptations such as voluntary undernutrition.

针对低轨双星组合接收低脉冲重复频率(LPRF)雷达信号的频差(DFO)估计存在模糊的问题，提出一种基于时差差分的频差无模糊高精度估计算法，该算法通过对高精度的时差测量值进行中心差分获得无模糊的频差估值。仿真结果表明，新算法能对PRF低至300 Hz的雷达信号进行无模糊的频差估计，估计精度在信噪比高于15 dB时逼近克拉美劳下界，可有效扩大低轨双星时/频差定位系统对LPRF信号的适用范围。     

Relative equilibria in quasi-homogeneous planar three body problems

In this paper we find the families of relative equilibria for the three body problem in the plane, when the interaction between the bodies is given by a quasi-homogeneous potential. The number of the relative equilibria depends on the values of the masses and on the size of the system, measured by the moment of inertia.     

基于WENO-分段线性格式的旋翼流场数值模拟

为了降低二阶JST(Jameson-schmidt-turkel)格式导致的数值耗散,发展了一套适合于格心格式的基于加权本质无振荡(Weighted essentially non-oscillatory,WENO)-分段线性格式的旋翼流场数值模拟方法。采用运动嵌套网格方法生成围绕旋翼的网格系统,主控方程选择Navier-Stokes(N-S)方程。为了更加有效地对桨尖涡等流动细节进行捕捉,在笛卡尔背景网格上采用七阶Roe-WENO格式计算对流通量;在桨叶贴体非结构网格上采用二阶精度的Roe-分段线性格式计算对流通量。时间离散采用了高效的双时间隐式LU-SGS(Lower upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel)方法进行时间推进。最后,应用上述方法对悬停状态的C-T(Caradonna-tung)旋翼和Helishape 7A旋翼进行了数值模拟,将数值计算结果与实验数据进行了对比,计算值与实验值吻合较好;并将桨尖涡模拟效果与二阶JST格式的模拟效果进行了对比。对比结果表明:本文方法能有效对旋翼流场进行计算,且在相同计算条件下,WENO-分段线性格式能够更有效地捕捉旋翼涡流场的流动特性,表明在计算旋翼涡流场时WENO-分段线性格式相比传统二阶JST格式具有更低的数值耗散。     

TEC differences for the mid-latitude ionosphere in both sides of the longitudes with zero declination

Based on measurements of ground-based GPS station network, differences of the mid-latitude ionospheric TEC in the east and west sides of North America, South America and Oceania have been analyzed in this paper. Results show that for nearly all seasons from 2001 to 2010 and in both sides of the longitudes with zero declination, there exist systematic differences for the mid-latitude ionospheric TEC in the regions mentioned above and the features of these differences markedly depend upon the local time but less depend upon seasons and the level of solar activity. Theory analysis shows that the longitude variations of both declination and zonal thermospheric winds are one of important factors to cause differences of the mid-latitude ionospheric TEC in both sides of the longitudes with zero declination.     

基于CDKF的快速协方差交叉融合跟踪算法研究

随着目标抗干扰能力的增强，单一寻的制导方式很难完成对目标的稳定跟踪和精确打击，需采用多种探测器作为传感器，提供多种观测数据以实现对目标的稳定跟踪和精确打击。建立了适当的目标运动模型和观测模型，利用中心差分卡尔曼滤波（CDKF）变换处理模型的非线性问题，避免了求解复杂的雅克比矩阵。对于分布式多传感器融合，传统的方法多采用协方差交叉（CI）融合方法，但是这类方法需要寻优求解。而快速协方差交叉（FCI）则不需要进行寻优过程，且计算量小。在此基础上，提出了用于多传感器目标跟踪的CDKF-FCI融合算法。最后，对算法进行了仿真分析，并进一步验证了提出算法的有效性。

Revisiting the space-time gradient method: A time-clocking perspective,high order difference time discretization and comparison with the harmonic balance method

This paper revisits the Space-Time Gradient (STG) method which was developed for efficient analysis of unsteady flows due to rotor–stator interaction and presents the method from an alternative time-clocking perspective. The STG method requires reordering of blade passages according to their relative clocking positions with respect to blades of an adjacent blade row. As the space-clocking is linked to an equivalent time-clocking, the passage reordering can be performed according to the alternative time-clocking. With the time-clocking perspective, unsteady flow solutions from different passages of the same blade row are mapped to flow solutions of the same passage at different time instants or phase angles. Accordingly, the time derivative of the unsteady flow equation is discretized in time directly, which is more natural than transforming the time derivative to a spatial one as with the original STG method. To improve the solution accuracy, a ninth order difference scheme has been investigated for discretizing the time derivative. To achieve a stable solution for the high order scheme, the implicit solution method of Lower-Upper Symmetric Gauss-Seidel/Gauss-Seidel (LU-SGS/GS) has been employed. The NASA Stage 35 and its blade-count-reduced variant are used to demonstrate the validity of the time-clocking based passage reordering and the advantages of the high order difference scheme for the STG method. Results from an existing harmonic balance flow solver are also provided to contrast the two methods in terms of solution stability and computational cost.
