From the beginning of the state’s history, isolationism and expansionism have manifested themselves as two policy imperatives in American diplomacy. On the surface, isolationism and expansionism represent contradictory attitudes and assumptions about America’s proper relationship with the outside world: isolationism advocates diplomatic and military non-entanglement in world affairs; expansionism urges active involvement in external affairs. But in a deeper sense, both isolationism and expansionism are manifestations of American sense of mission, the belief that the US has a special role to perform for all nations in the world. Isolationism is a passive approach to accomplish that mission: it emphasizes the exemplary nature of their country. Expansionism stresses the need for active involvement to achieve that mission; thus, is an active approach to American mission.展开更多

Theoretical basis of the method considered the conical shear failure above the grout bulb. Using the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion as the initial yield function, the limited compaction grouting pressure was determined, according to the softening elastic-plastic model based on the conventional triaxial compression tests to simulate the strain softening soils. The small strain in the elastic zone and large stain in the plastic zone and the rational yield function for the strain softening phase stage, the analytical solutions to the compaction grouting pressure were presented. The results indicate reasonable agreement and show a good potential of the proposed method for rationally optimizing the design of compaction grouting operations.展开更多

A mathematical model was introduced to discuss the effects of acR （cryolite ratio） and βKR （elpasolite content divided by the total amount of elpasolite and sodium cryolite） on performance of cathode electrolysis expansion. The results show that K and Na （potassium and sodium） penetrate into the cathode together and have an obvious influence on the performance of cathode electrolysis expansion. The electrolysis expansion and K/Na penetration rate increase with the increase of αCR. When αCR=1.9 and βKR=0.5, the electrolysis expansion is the highest, which is 3.95%; and when αCR=I.4 and βKR=0.1, the electrolysis expansion is the lowest, which is 1.28%. But the effect offlKR is correlative with αCR. When αCR=1.6 and 1.9, with the increase of titan, the electrolysis expansion and K/Na penetration rate increase. However, when αCR=l.4, the electrolysis expansion and K/Na penetration rate firstly increase and then decrease with the increase of βKR.展开更多

In order to extend the research in this field, the damage alarming technique for bridge expansion joints based on long-term monitoring data was developed. The effects of environmental factors on the expansion joint displacement were analyzed. Multiple linear regression models were obtained to describe the correlation between displacements and the dominant environmental factors. The damage alarming index was defined based on the multiple regression models. At last, the X-bar control chart was utilized to detect the abnormal change of the displacements. Analysis results reveal that temperature and traffic condition are the dominant environmental factors to influence the displacement. When the confidence level of X-bar control chart is set to be 0.003, the false-positive indications of damage can be avoided. The damage sensitivity analysis shows that the proper X-bar control chart can detect 0.1 cm damage-induced change of the expansion joint displacement. It is reasonably believed that the proposed technique is robust against false-positive indication of damage and suitable to alarm the possible future damage of the expansion joints.展开更多

文摘In this paper, a low complexity direction of arrival(DOA) estimation method for massive uniform circular array(UCA) with single snapshot is proposed.Firstly, the coarse DOAs are estimated by finding the peaks from the circular convolution between a fixed coefficient vector and the received data vector.Thereafter, in order to refine coarse DOA estimates, we reconstruct the direction matrix based on the coarse DOA estimations and take the first order Taylor expansion with DOA estimation offsets into account.Finally, the refined estimations are obtained by compensating the offsets, which are obtained via least squares(LS) without any complex searches.In addition, the refinement can be iteratively implemented to enhance the estimation results.Compared to the offset search method, the proposed method achieves a better estimation performance while requiring lower complexity.Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
