频谱分析仪在径向跳动测量中的应用

对于回转运动来说,即使最微小的形状误差也会限制计算机磁盘驱动器的准度。其中最主要的故障原因是径向跳动。典型的例子是利用示波器来记录跳动值,但它仅能给出数值大小。另一种方法是利用频谱分析仪,它不仅能给出跳动值,还能给出频率值,以帮助我们诊断径向跳动的原因。     

Telescience at the University of California, Berkeley

The University of California at Berkeley (UCB) is a member of a university consortium involved in telescience testbed activities under the sponsorship of NASA. Our Telescience Testbed Project consists of three experiments using flight hardware being developed for the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer project at UCB's Space Sciences Laboratory. The first one is a teleoperation experiment investigating remote instrument control using a computer network such as the Internet. The second experiment is an effort to develop a system for operation of a network of remote workstations allowing coordinated software development, evaluation, and use by widely dispersed groups. The final experiment concerns simulation as a method to facilitate the concurrent development of instrument hardware and support software. We describe our progress in these areas.     

散射干扰自适应对消

一、引言本文是研究自适应对消散射干扰方法的一个总结报告。报告内容涉及到对雷达主瓣的散射干扰,和来自地面或干扰体照射的箔条对通讯系统的散射干扰。这些方法也能用于接收天线附近的散射源对接收天线旁瓣或主瓣的散射干扰,也就是说,适用于解决某些自适应弱信号系统中的多路问题(多路问题的应用,原来受到很大限制)。用辅助天线所接收的干扰延迟复制信号作为对消散射干扰的技术,如第二节所述。在应用某些散射对消器时,需要大量的自适应加权。当干扰机干扰大片区域时、或在主瓣内有大     

A search for soot from global wildfires in central Pacific Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary and other extinction and impact horizon sediments

Hypotheses of global wildfires following the Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) boundary impact are supported by high concentrations of elemental carbon (3.6 mg cm(-2)) and soot (1.8 mg cm(-2)) in DSDP Site 465, which was located several thousand kilometers from potential continental sources at 65 Ma. Soot is not preserved at four other central Pacific KT localities, but this is attributed to loss during oxic diagenesis. We find no evidence for wildfires related to major impacts in the late Eocene or to Ir anomalies and extinctions in the late Cenomanian.     

Locating potential biosignatures on Europa from surface geology observations

We evaluated the astrobiological potential of the major classes of geologic units on Europa with respect to possible biosignatures preservation on the basis of surface geology observations. These observations are independent of any formational model and therefore provide an objective, though preliminary, evaluation. The assessment criteria include high mobility of material, surface concentration of non-ice components, relative youth, textural roughness, and environmental stability. Our review determined that, as feature classes, low-albedo smooth plains, smooth bands, and chaos hold the highest potential, primarily because of their relative young age, the emplacement of low-viscosity material, and indications of material exchange with the subsurface. Some lineaments and impact craters may be promising sites for closer study despite the comparatively lower astrobiological potential of their classes. This assessment will be expanded by multidisciplinary examination of the potential for habitability of specific features.     

A human galaxy: a prehistory of the future

In the very long term, how could humans colonise the Galaxy? Colonisation cannot be centrally controlled; deeper drives must be tapped. It may take centuries to colonise the nearest stars: it may be a 'programme' like the Industrial Revolution, fuelled by entrepreneurship. To build a respectable interstellar empire may take millennia. Religions are similar multigenerational projects. Perhaps colonists will be motivated by appropriate creeds. To win the Galaxy, starship technology must persist for tens or hundreds of millennia. Homo erectus made the same hand-axe for a million years. The driver was biological, not conscious. Perhaps to our descendants starships will be like peacock tails.     

Quantification of spatial structure of human proximal tibial bone biopsies using 3D measures of complexity

Changes in trabecular bone composition during development of osteoporosis are used as a model for bone loss in microgravity conditions during a space flight. Symbolic dynamics and measures of complexity are proposed and applied to assess quantitatively the structural composition of bone tissue from 3D data sets of human tibia bone biopsies acquired by a micro-CT scanner. In order to justify the newly proposed approach, the measures of complexity of the bone architecture were compared with the results of traditional 2D bone histomorphometry. The proposed technique is able to quantify the structural loss of the bone tissue and may help to diagnose and to monitor changes in bone structure of patients on Earth as well as of the space-flying personnel.

稳健滤波和平滑技术在跟踪数据中的应用

稳健(Robust)方法用于观测值的滤波和平滑,为处理其中的跳点或野值提供了一种新方法。通过在滤波器和固定滞后的平滑器推导中使用观测值的伪密度,回归的稳健M估算(Mestimates)可用来进行滤波和固定滞后平滑。这些稳健方法用于跟踪数据,可使有野值存在的观测值的估算性能得以改善。这一估算性能的改善,已经过蒙特卡罗方法用模拟跟踪数据做了估算。
