Presented here is a code called Single Track Cyclic Gray Code (STCGC) that is an image etched on a single circular track of a rotary encoder disk read by a group of even spread reading heads to provide a unique codeword for every angular position and features such that every two adjacent words differ in exactly one component, thus avoiding coarse error. The existing construction or combination methods are helpful but not sufficient in determining the period of the STCGC of large word length and the theoretical approach needs further development to extend the word length. Three principles, such as the seed combination, short code removal and ergodicity examination were put forward that suffice determination of the optimal period for such absolute rotary encoders using STCGC with even spread heads. The optimal periods of STCGC in 3 through 29 bit length were determined and listed.展开更多

The improved design method is mainly based on the optimal volume ratio of paste to aggregate(VRPA), which was determined by testing the average thickness of cement paste coating aggregate. The performances of pervious concrete designed by the traditional method and the improved one were compared. The results show that with the increase of designed porosity, the reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete designed by the improved method is significantly smaller than those designed by the traditional one. The maximum deviation between the designed and actual porosity of the pervious concrete by the improved method is only 1.54%, which is far less than 8.7% obtained by the traditional one. Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.展开更多

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） was applied to establishing the quantitative chemical fingerprints of ATRs. A total of 104 volatile compounds were identified and quantified with the information of mass spectra and retention index （RI）. Furthermore, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （LASSO）, a sparse regularization method, combined with subsampling was employed to improve the classification ability of partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA）. After variable selection by LASSO, three chemical markers,β-elemene, α-selinene and α-asarone, were identified for the discrimination of ATRs from two habitats, and the total classification correct rate was increased from 82.76% to 96.55%. The proposed LASSO-PLS-DA method can serve as an efficient strategy for screening marked chemical components and geo-herbalism research of traditional Chinese medicines.展开更多

A plot of Ms versus λ was suggested to calculate the suitable tuning parameter λ, which provides a trade-off between performance and robustness. Six different forms of process models were selected from literature to show the applicability of the present method. Performance of controller was calculated by ITAE and total variation TV and compared with recently published tuning rules. Undesirable overshoot was removed by using a set-point weighting parameter. Robustness was tested by introducing a perturbation into the various model parameters and closed-loop results show that the designed controller is robust in the case of model uncertainty. The proposed method shows an overall better closed-loop response as compared to other recently reported methods.展开更多

Spirometry was performed on site. 61.47% of the grain workers complained of one or more respiratory symptoms during or after exposure to airborne grain dust.The prevalence of various symptoms was significantly higher among grain workers than control subjects. 15.6% of the grain workers had episodes of grain fever. The mean values of V<sub>max75</sub>, V<sub>max50</sub>, and V<sub>max25</sub> was significantly lower for grain workers than control subjects, suggesting that the group of grain workers had evidence of small airway dysfunction. Pulmonary function abnormalities were associated with increased duration of employment in the grain elevator,smoking was also associated with deterioration of respiratory function.展开更多

Traditional single-frame interpolation techniques cannot add new high frequency information to the expanded images, and cannot improve resolution in deed. Multiframe-based techniques are effective ways for high-resolution image reconstruction, but their computation complexities and the difficulties in achieving image sequences limit their applications. An original method using an artificial neural network is proposed in this paper. Using the inherent merits in neural network, we can establish the mapping between high frequency components in low-resolution images and high-resolution images. Example applications and their results demonstrated the images reconstructed by our method are aesthetically and quantitatively (using the criteria of MSE and MAE) superior to the images acquired by common methods. Even for infrared images this method can give satisfactory results with high definition. In addition, a single-layer linear neural network is used in this paper, the computational complexity is very low, and this method can be realized in real time.展开更多

By using an improved integral inequality,a less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion is formulated as the feasibility problem of the linear matrix inequality （LMI）. The criterion is proved theoretically to be less conservative than some existing results for linear time-delay systems. Because of the fact that the matrices in the LMI-based stability criteria usually have different dimensions, different structures, and different variables, the conservatism analysis of the criteria is difficult. This study brings about a new insight into the comparison of conservatism among different stability criteria, which are expressed in certain LMI forms. The existence of the guaranteed cost controller is given in terms of matrix inequalities. The condition can be solved by using an iterative procedure and does not need any parameter tuning. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多
