Development and verification of an innovative photomultiplier calibration system with a 10-fold increase in photometer resolution

In this study, we construct a photomultiplier calibration system. This calibration system can help scientists measuring and establishing the characteristic curve of the photon count versus light intensity. The system uses an innovative 10-fold optical attenuator to enable an optical power meter to calibrate photomultiplier tubes which have the resolution being much greater than that of the optical power meter. A simulation is firstly conducted to validate the feasibility of the system, and then the system construction, including optical design, circuit design, and software algorithm, is realized. The simulation generally agrees with measurement data of the constructed system, which are further used to establish the characteristic curve of the photon count versus light intensity.

能量和协方差检验的联合频谱感知算法研究

快速准确的频谱感知是认知无线电系统有效通信的前提。现有的能量检测算法易受噪声波动影响,为提高频谱感知的性能,采用了联合频谱感知算法。方法利用双门限的能量检测法进行粗检,并使用协方差检测算法对中间混淆区域进行二次判决。在噪声不确定的情况下,对联合频谱感知算法性能进行了仿真分析。仿真结果表明,在噪声波动较大时,算法有效地提高频谱检测的性能,而且计算复杂度得到降低,并优于能量检测法和协方差检测法。     

Variable stiffness design of redundantly actuated planar rotational parallel mechanisms

Redundantly actuated planar rotational parallel mechanisms (RAPRPMs) adapt to the requirements of robots under different working conditions by changing the antagonistic internal force to tune their stiffness. The geometrical parameters of the mechanism impact the performances of modulating stiffness. Analytical expressions relating stiffness and geometrical parameters of the mechanism were formulated to obtain the necessary conditions of variable stiffness. A novel method of variable stiffness design was presented to optimize the geometrical parameters of the mechanism. The stiffness variation with the internal force was maximized. The dynamic change of stiffness with the dynamic location of the mechanism was minimized, and the robustness of stiff-ness during the motion of the mechanism was ensured. This new approach to variable stiffness design can enable off-line planning of the internal force to avoid the difficulties of on-line control of the internal force.     

小展弦比飞翼亚、跨、超声速支撑干扰研究

通过数值模拟方法研究了小展弦比飞翼标模在0.6、0.9、1.5三个典型马赫数下的支撑干扰特性,分别考虑了近场尾部外形局部畸变和尾支杆干扰及远场风洞中部支架干扰,并基于表面压力系数差异为准则尝试对近场干扰量进行分解。研究得到如下结论:马赫数0.6时,远场支撑阻力系数和俯仰力矩系数的干扰量约占总支撑干扰量的30%,升力系数约占20%;马赫数0.9、迎角2°时,阻力系数远场支撑干扰量占总支撑干扰量的40%,迎角18°时,远场支撑干扰使得涡破裂位置提前;马赫数1.5时,远场支撑干扰可以忽略;基于表面压力系数差异将支撑干扰量分解的方法在亚声速支撑干扰前传明显时不适用,在马赫数0.9、迎角2°时求得近场支撑干扰使得马赫数减小约0.02,迎角减小约0.1°,马赫数1.5时用此法求得马赫数和迎角的干扰量均约等于0。

Mutations in cauliflower and sprout broccoli grown from seeds flown in space

Cauliflower and sprout broccoli are widely planted vegetables particularly in Fujian Province, China. To study the mutation in these two types of vegetables induced from spaceflight, we flew the seeds on the 20th Chinese recoverable satellite which orbited the Earth for 18 days. After returning to the Earth, the cauliflower seeds were planted for two generations and the sprout broccoli seeds for one generation at the Xiamen Agriculture Research Institute. Of the 12 cauliflowers planted for the first generation, two showed significant phenotypical changes in both the size of the plant and the weight of the flower head. In addition, most of the space flown plants were found to be resistant to the black rot attack in the field. Cauliflowers planted for the second generation from the seeds in one of the two plants that displayed phenotypical changes in the first generation showed similar mutations. For the first generation of sprout broccoli, the rate of emergence from the flown seeds was lower than that of the control by 30%. No significant changes in the phenotype between the sprout broccolis planted from the flown seeds and the control were observed except one of the mutated sprout broccolis showed a change in the appearance in the lesser bud of the chief flower head. Results of the study demonstrated that DNA damages in some of the genes may have occurred in the seeds flown in space, and some of the changes in the genes may have inherited from the first to the second generation. The improved resistance to the black rot attack and increased size of the flower head are apparently beneficial.
