脉动态电解加工

电解加工在航空航天装备的核心部件制造中起到了重要作用。为了满足这些高科技产品的发展需求,它的加工精度需要进一步提高。电解加工过程中产生的氢气、温升及去除物,会显著影响加工间隙中电解液电导率的分布,并降低加工精度。脉动态电解加工将工具振动与脉冲给电优化耦合,改变了间隙状态,提高了精度和稳定性。拷贝式、旋印式、削边电极线切割式等3种脉动态电解加工形式分别对应叶片类、机匣类、榫槽类结构的加工表现出很好的工艺效果。     

Antideuteron based dark matter search with GAPS: Current progress and future prospects

The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a new approach to the indirect detection of dark matter. It relies on searching for primary antideuterons produced in the annihilation of dark matter in the galactic halo. Low energy antideuterons produced through Standard Model processes, such as collisions of cosmic-rays with interstellar baryons, are greatly suppressed compared to primary antideuterons. Thus a low energy antideuteron search provides a clean signature of dark matter. In GAPS antiparticles are slowed down and captured in target atoms. The resultant exotic atom deexcites with the emission of X-rays and annihilation pions, protons and other particles. A tracking geometry allows for the detection of the X-rays and particles, providing a unique signature to identify the mass of the antiparticle. A prototype detector was successfully tested at the KEK accelerator in 2005, and a prototype GAPS balloon flight is scheduled for 2011. This will be followed by a full scale experiment on a long duration balloon from Antarctica in 2014. We discuss the status and future plans for GAPS.     

Survival and death of the haloarchaeon Natronorubrum strain HG-1 in a simulated martian environment

Halophilic archaea are of interest to astrobiology due to their survival capabilities in desiccated and high salt environments. The detection of remnants of salty pools on Mars stimulated investigations into the response of haloarchaea to martian conditions. Natronorubrum sp. strain HG-1 is an extremely halophilic archaeon with unusual metabolic pathways, growing on acetate and stimulated by tetrathionate. We exposed Natronorubrum strain HG-1 to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, similar to levels currently prevalent on Mars. In addition, the effects of low temperature (4, −20, and −80 °C), desiccation, and exposure to a Mars soil analogue from the Atacama desert on the viability of Natronorubrum strain HG-1 cultures were investigated. The results show that Natronorubrum strain HG-1 cannot survive for more than several hours when exposed to UV radiation equivalent to that at the martian equator. Even when protected from UV radiation, viability is impaired by a combination of desiccation and low temperature. Desiccating Natronorubrum strain HG-1 cells when mixed with a Mars soil analogue impaired growth of the culture to below the detection limit. Overall, we conclude that Natronorubrum strain HG-1 cannot survive the environment currently present on Mars. Since other halophilic microorganisms were reported to survive simulated martian conditions, our results imply that survival capabilities are not necessarily shared between phylogenetically related species.     

抽吸对方转圆内收缩进气道性能的影响

针对马赫数可控的方转圆内收缩进气道设计了抽吸方案,并通过风洞试验和数值仿真手段研究了其对进气道性能的影响,获得了进气道设计点的工作特性及自起动性能。试验结果验证了抽吸对提升内收缩进气道性能的有效性：在顶板下洗气流集中区域开槽减小了出口涡流区以及提高了抗反压能力,相对原型进气道,设计点（Ma=6.0）放气流量为0.99%的实际捕获流量时出口总压恢复系数提高了3.8%,临界反压从135倍来流静压提高到了150倍。此外,在顶板分离区开槽可以提高进气道的自起动能力,Ma=5.0,攻角AOA=4°时实现了自起动,此时放气流量为0.78%的进口捕获流量,起动后出口增压比和总压恢复系数分别为30.6和0.600。     

相关噪声背景下相干信源DOA估计算法研究

根据信号和噪声的非圆对称特性,利用除第一个阵元外的其它阵元接收数据的共轭信息,对原阵列进行有效地扩展,提出了一种相关噪声背景下相干信源波达方向（DOA）估计的新算法。由于对阵列进行了虚拟扩展并运用斜投影算法将非相干信源与相干信源分开分辨,因此该算法具有很强的信源过载能力及阵元节省能力,在一定程度上提高了空间分辨率DOA估计的性能,并可对消空间具有非圆对称性的相关噪声,适用于低信噪比环境。仿真结果证明了算法理论的正确性和有效性。
