A survey of radio jets with Chandra and HST

Relativistic jets are a common property of radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Understanding jet physical properties is an essential precursor to understanding the mechanisms of energy transport, and ultimately, how energy is extracted from the central black hole. In this paper, I highlight recent developments from Chandra and HST observations of kpc-scale jets in AGN, with particular emphasis on our survey of 17 radio jets in a sample of FRII radio galaxies. These observations show that (1) X-ray and optical emission is common from kpc-scale jets, (2) a large fraction of the bolometric luminosity is emitted at X-rays, and (3) in most sources, a candidate emission process for the X-rays is inverse Compton scattering of the Cosmic Microwave Background off the relativistic electrons in the jet. If the latter scenario holds, the implication is that jets are still relativistic on kpc scales.

基于脑电功率谱密度的作业人员脑力负荷评估方法

脑力负荷状态的准确识别对减少因作业人员无效脑力负荷导致的人因事故具有重要意义。针对人-机系统中作业人员脑力负荷客观评估问题开展了基于MATB-Ⅱ平台的3种不同脑力负荷水平下的航空情境实验，记录16名被试的NASA任务负荷指数（NASA-TLX）量表数据和脑电（EEG）信号，提出了一种基于脑电功率谱密度（PSD）和支持向量机（SVM）的个体脑力负荷评估方法。结果表明：随着实验设计脑力负荷水平增加，被试的主观脑力负荷得分显著提高（p<0.001），这表明该实验任务设计较好地诱发了低负荷、中负荷和高负荷情境。在此基础上，通过网格搜索法确定个体脑力负荷评估模型的统一优化参数，惩罚系数取3 000，核函数参数取0.000 1，模型测试正确率达到0.966 5±0.029 8，宏平均的受试者工作特征曲线下的面积（Macro-AUC）达到0.991 0±0.011 4。本文为作业人员脑力负荷状态的客观和准确评估提供了一种新的办法，为后期作业人员脑力负荷状态的实时判别提供模型基础。     

DME脉冲调制信号波形参数对空间频谱占用的影响分析

航空测距器DME的开发、调试和性能验证都要用到高斯双脉冲调制格式的DME信号。由于专用的DME信号模拟器技术复杂、价格昂贵,人们常用具有快沿双脉冲调制功能的模拟信号源替代。本文以航空测距器DME信号要求为依据,初步分析了这种替代可能存在的问题,并通过实验对不同边沿条件下高斯双脉冲、矩形双脉冲调制信号的功率频谱占用情况进行了验证。

A cost driven predictive maintenance policy for structural airframe maintenance

Airframe maintenance is traditionally performed at scheduled maintenance stops.The decision to repair a fuselage panel is based on a fixed crack size threshold,which allows to ensure the aircraft safety until the next scheduled maintenance stop.With progress in sensor technology and data processing techniques,structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are increasingly being considered in the aviation industry.SHM systems track the aircraft health state continuously,lead ing to the possibility of planning maintenance based on an actual state of aircraft rather than on a fixed schedule.This paper builds upon a model-based prognostics framework that the authors developed in their previous work,which couples the Extended Kalman filter (EKF) with a first order perturbation (FOP) method.By using the information given by this prognostics method,a novel cost driven predictive maintenance (CDPM) policy is proposed,which ensures the aircraft safety while minimizing the maintenance cost.The proposed policy is formally derived based on the trade-off between probabilities of occurrence of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.A numerical case study simulating the maintenance process of an entire fleet of aircrafts is imple mented.Under the condition of assuring the same safety level,the CDPM is compared in terms of cost with two other maintenance policies:scheduled maintenance and threshold based SHM maintenance.The comparison results show CDPM could lead to significant cost savings.

ASTROSAT

The ASTROSAT satellite is an Indian National Space Observatory under development in India. Due for launch in 2010, ASTROSAT will carry a complement of five scientific instruments enabling simultaneous observations from the optical through to the hard X-ray energy band. This capability will enable broad-band spectroscopy and high time-resolution monitoring of both galactic and extra-galactic targets, such as X-ray binaries and AGN. One of the instruments is being built in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency and another in collaboration with the University of Leicester. ASTROSAT also carries a scanning sky monitor to observe the variable X-ray sky. After an initial period of science verification and guaranteed time, a certain fraction of ASTROSAT observing time will also be made available to the community via a call for proposals. Here I summarise the instrument complement and principle scientific objectives of the mission.
