Polarization model for discrimination of broad and needle shaped leaves and estimation of LAI using polarization measurements

Method for estimation of Leaf Area Index (LAI) based on polarized radiance measurements is proposed. Leaf angle dependency on LAI estimation can be taken into account by considering polarization characteristics of leaves. Effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed with the polarized radiance from tealeaves and the other needle leaf types of grasses. Convenient way to monitor quality and amount of leaves with network camera with polarization film is also proposed.

航班地面保障是机场运行的重要环节，为了提升航班地面保障效率，针对某机场航班地面保障流程构建AOE 网，通过该机场A-CDM 系统记录的航班节点数据求出该机场航班地面保障作业的“关键路径”。通过对关键路径上可压缩工序的分析，对该机场的地面保障作业流程进行优化。以我国西南地区某机场航班地面保障的实际数据为基础，剔除不可抗力造成的不正常数据，分别计算保障流程优化前后的航班过站时间。结果表明：在33 组航班数据中，该机场使用AOE 网络优化后的保障作业流程比优化前平均减少地面保障作业时长6.1 分钟/架次，说明通过合理地优化航班地面保障进程，可以有效提高机场的运行效率。     

Sleep and cognitive function of crewmembers and mission controllers working 24-h shifts during a simulated 105-day spaceflight mission

The success of long-duration space missions depends on the ability of crewmembers and mission support specialists to be alert and maintain high levels of cognitive function while operating complex, technical equipment. We examined sleep, nocturnal melatonin levels and cognitive function of crewmembers and the sleep and cognitive function of mission controllers who participated in a high-fidelity 105-day simulated spaceflight mission at the Institute of Biomedical Problems (Moscow). Crewmembers were required to perform daily mission duties and work one 24-h extended duration work shift every sixth day. Mission controllers nominally worked 24-h extended duration shifts. Supplemental lighting was provided to crewmembers and mission controllers. Participants' sleep was estimated by wrist-actigraphy recordings. Overall, results show that crewmembers and mission controllers obtained inadequate sleep and exhibited impaired cognitive function, despite countermeasure use, while working extended duration shifts. Crewmembers averaged 7.04±0.92 h (mean±SD) and 6.94±1.08 h (mean±SD) in the two workdays prior to the extended duration shifts, 1.88±0.40 h (mean±SD) during the 24-h work shift, and then slept 10.18±0.96 h (mean±SD) the day after the night shift. Although supplemental light was provided, crewmembers’ average nocturnal melatonin levels remained elevated during extended 24-h work shifts. Naps and caffeine use were reported by crewmembers during ∼86% and 45% of extended night work shifts, respectively. Even with reported use of wake-promoting countermeasures, significant impairments in cognitive function were observed. Mission controllers slept 5.63±0.95 h (mean±SD) the night prior to their extended duration work shift. On an average, 89% of night shifts included naps with mission controllers sleeping an average of 3.4±1.0 h (mean±SD) during the 24-h extended duration work shift. Mission controllers also showed impaired cognitive function during extended duration work shifts.These findings indicate that extended duration work shifts present a significant challenge to crewmembers and mission support specialists during long-duration space mission operations. Future research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of alternative work schedules and the development and implementation of more effective countermeasures will be required to maintain high levels of performance.     

Prediction of nonlinear pilot-induced oscillation using an intelligent human pilot model

This paper proposes a method to predict nonlinear Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) using an intelligent human pilot model. This method is based on a scalogram-based PIO metric, which uses wavelet transforms to analyze the nonlinear characteristics of a time-varying system. The intelligent human pilot model includes three modules: perception module, decision and adaptive module, and execution module. Intelligent and adaptive features, including a neural network receptor, fuzzy decision and adaptation, are also introduced into the human pilot model to describe the behavior of the human pilot accommodating the nonlinear events. Furthermore, an algorithm is proposed to describe the procedure of the PIO prediction method with nonlinear evaluation cases. The prediction results obtained by numerical simulation are compared with the assessments of flight test data to validate the utility of the method. The flight test data were generated in the evaluation of the Smart-Cue/Smart-Gain, which is capable of reducing the PIO tendencies considerably. The results show that the method can be applied to predict the nonlinear PIO events by human pilot model simulation.     

Simulator of pyroshock environment and effect rules of its adjustable parameters

During the launching of spacecraft, the on-board devices will undergo a series of pyroshock environments. In order to verify the reliability of these devices under these pyroshock environments, all of them are needed to take the shock test before launching. This paper has carried out an in-depth research on the simulation method of the pyroshock based on the true explosive excitation. In this study, a simulator containing multiple adjustment parameters is presented and the safety is considered by the design of the protective cover. And the working process of this setup is simulated with the explicit dynamic codes LS-DYNA. What’s more, the effects of the adjustment parameters on the three factors of shock Response Spectrum (SRS) of the resonant board are explored carefully. The rules achieved in this paper are verified by a typical example. The results indicate that the improved simulator can avoid the danger of explosive and make full use of the advantage of actual explosive excitation. And the test condition can be quickly realized at the simulator according to the effect rules of the three adjustable parameters.
