Calculation of the hourly and daily radiation incident on three step tracking planes

Mathematical formulas for estimating the hourly and daily radiation incident on planes of azimuth three step tracking and hour angle three step tracking have been derived in this paper. Based on the hourly solar radiation data of an average day in each month at Er-Lian-Hao-Te city, the hourly and monthly radiation received by planes of these two kinds of tracking have been calculated. The results show that in this district, one axis azimuth three step tracking and hour angle three step tracking could, respectively, obtain 66.5% and 63.3% higher radiation than that on the horizontal surface all year. Moreover, a two axis azimuth three step tracking plane could receive 72% more radiation than the horizontal surface. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Investigation of {111}A and {111} planes of c-GaN epilayers grown on GaAs(001) by MOCVD

A determination of {1 1 1}A and {1 1 1}B in cubic GaN(c-GaN) was investigated by X-ray diffraction technique in detail. The c-GaN films are grown on GaAs(0 0 1) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD). The difference of integrated intensities measured by omega scan for the different order diffractions from {1 1 1}A and {1 1 1}B planes in the four-circle diffractometer gives convincing evidence as to which is the {1 1 1}A and which is the {1 1 1}B planes. The lesser deviation between the ratios of /F-h k l/(2)//F-(h) over bar (k) over bar (l) over bar/(2) and the calculated values after dispersion correction for atomic scattering factor shows that the content of parasitic hexagonal GaN(h-GaN) grown on c-GaN{1 1 1}A planes is higher than that on {1 1 1}B planes. The reciprocal space mappings provide additional proof that the h-GaN inclusions in c-GaN films appear as lamellar structure. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Planes de área en matemáticas y autonomía escolar: un estudio de casos

AUTONOMÍA ESCOLAR Y PLANIFICACIÓN EN MATEMÁTICAS La autonomía escolar se estableció en Colombia en 1994, con la intención de que las instituciones educativas adaptaran el currículo a su contexto. Como consecuencia, instituciones y profesores se hicieron responsables del diseño curricular en todas las áreas, con la guía de lineamientos curriculares publicados por el gobierno. Estos diseños curriculares que se plasman en el plan de área. En este trabajo caracterizamos los planes de área de matemáticas en una muestra de conveniencia de 18 colegios de educación básica secundaria y educación media de Bogotá y sus cercanías y exploramos en qué medida se llevan a la práctica los lineamientos gubernamentales en esos documentos. Codificamos los planes de área teniendo en cuenta las cuatro componentes del currículo: el contenido, los objetivos, la metodología y la evaluación. Para cada una de estas componentes, establecimos:1. el nivel de generalidad con el que se trata, 2. los términos que las instituciones utilizan para referirse a ella y 3. la coherencia y la estructura con la que las instituciones la describen. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la variedad de aproximaciones de las instituciones de la muestra a la planificación del área de matemáticas. Esta variedad se constata en el número de niveles de generalidad que aparecen en los documentos, en la diversidad de términos que se utilizan para referirse a cada uno de los componentes curriculares y en el nivel de detalle con que se describen. Los resultados sugieren que, en las instituciones de la muestra en las que las ideas de estándar y competencia aparecen en el plan de área, estas ideas no juegan un papel organizador del diseño curricular. Así mismo, los resultados muestran que no existe un significado compartido para los términos “estándar”, “objetivo”, “logro” o “desempeño” entre los documentos de la muestra. Adicionalmente, hemos observado que no se constata coherencia entre esta expectativa de aprendizaje y el contenido propuesto dentro de la planificación. Estos resultados nos llevan a conjeturar que, en las instituciones a las que pertenecen los documentos de la muestra, no existe una aproximación sistemática, estructurada y fundamentada a la planificación curricular.

Electrical Characterisation of SOI Substrates Incorporating WSix Ground Planes

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates incorporating tungsten silicide ground planes (GPs) have been shown to offer the lowest reported crosstalk figure of merit for application in mixed signal integrated circuits. The inclusion of the silicide layer in the structure may lead to stress or defects in the overlying SOI layers and resultant degradation of device performance. It is therefore essential to establish the quality of the silicon on the GPSOI substrate. MOS capacitor structures have been employed in this paper to characterize these GPSOI substrates for the first time. High quality MOS capacitor characteristics have been achieved with minority carrier lifetime of similar to 0.8 ms. These results show that the substrate is suitable for device manufacture with no degradation in the silicon due to stress or metallic contamination resulting from the inclusion of the underlying silicide layer.

High-gain subwavelength resonant cavity antennas based on metamaterial ground planes

Planar metarnaterial Surfaces with negative reflection phase values are proposed as ground planes in a high-gain resonant cavity antenna configuration. The antenna is formed by the metarnaterial ground plane (MGP) and a superimposed metallodielectric electromagnetic band gap (MEBG) array that acts as a partially reflective surface (PRS). A single dipole positioned between the PRS and the ground IS utilised as the excitation. Ray analysis is employed to describe the functioning of the antennas and to qualitatively predict the effect of the MGP oil the antenna performance. By employing MGPs with negative reflection phase values, the planar antenna profile is reduced to subwavelength values (less than lambda/6) whilst maintaining high directivity. Full-wave simulations have been carried out with commercially available software (Microstripes (TM)). The effect of the finite PRS size on the antenna radiation performance (directivity and sidelobe level) is studied. A prototype has been fabricated and tested experimentally in order to validate the predictions.

Spatio-temporal Rich Model Based Video Steganalysis on Cross Sections of Motion Vector Planes

A rich model based motion vector steganalysis benefiting from both temporal and spatial correlations of motion vectors is proposed in this work. The proposed steganalysis method has a substantially superior detection accuracy than the previous methods, even the targeted ones. The improvement in detection accuracy lies in several novel approaches introduced in this work. Firstly, it is shown that there is a strong correlation, not only spatially but also temporally, among neighbouring motion vectors for longer distances. Therefore, temporal motion vector dependency along side the spatial dependency is utilized for rigorous motion vector steganalysis. Secondly, unlike the filters previously used, which were heuristically designed against a specific motion vector steganography, a diverse set of many filters which can capture aberrations introduced by various motion vector steganography methods is used. The variety and also the number of the filter kernels are substantially more than that of used in previous ones. Besides that, filters up to fifth order are employed whereas the previous methods use at most second order filters. As a result of these, the proposed system captures various decorrelations in a wide spatio-temporal range and provides a better cover model. The proposed method is tested against the most prominent motion vector steganalysis and steganography methods. To the best knowledge of the authors, the experiments section has the most comprehensive tests in motion vector steganalysis field including five stego and seven steganalysis methods. Test results show that the proposed method yields around 20% detection accuracy increase in low payloads and 5% in higher payloads.
