Blind frequency synchronisation for OFDM systems with pulse shaping

In multi-carrier systems, small carrier frequency offsets result in significant degradation of performance and this offset should be compensated before demodulation can be performed. In this paper, we consider a generic multi-carrier system with pulse shaping and estimate the frequency offset by exploiting the cyclostationarity of the received signal. By transforming the time domain signal to the cyclic correlation domain we are able to estimate the frequency offset without the aid of pilot symbols or the cyclic prefix. The Bayesian framework is used to obtain the estimate and we show how we can simplify the estimation process. © 1999 IEEE.

A critical analysis of loudness calculation methods

The physical meaning and calculation procedures for determining loudness was critically analyzed. Four noise sources were used in comparing the software packages dBFA dBSonic, which were used in the investigation to a public domain code. The purpose of the comparison was to evaluate the validity of the results obtained and to gain an idea of the shortcomings of the relevant standards. A comparison of the results for loudness was computed from various methods, used in the study. Two basic sources of input data such as a sound level meter (SLM) and a 01 dB data acquisition system (DAQ), were available for the comparison. The SLM directly gave 1/3 octave band levels, while the data from the DAQ was filtered to give the results. Five processing methods, including a Visual Basic (VB) program and a VB program adapted from dBFA, were used for the study. It was found that the calculation of loudness from 1/3 octave cannot be separated from the filtering process.

基于林相图的森林景观可视化

景观可视化是近30年来逐步发展起来的，特别是计算机软件、硬件技术的发展，使人们对复杂的自然系统进行模拟和可视化成为可能。并且，在环境决策中，公众的参与越来越普遍，积极的公众参与是可持续发展、生态系统管理和21世纪议程发起的基础和先决条件。因此，景观可视化已成为了公众交流和参与环境教育、气候变化、景观规划、林业管理、开发和建设项目的景观影响评价等方面的一种有效手段。 目前林业部门一直采用数字林相图对森林进行表述，但1）数字林相图的平面特性，虽然使用者可以通过等高线来理解森林所在的地形，但必须通过思维的分析转换过程；2） 数字林相图中树种用抽象的符号表示，阅读者要看懂图必须先将树种符号记住或一一对比，不直观；3）数字林相图中在同一小班内难以表现树种空间分布等信息。为了解决数字林相图的这些问题，本论文探索简便快捷的森林景观可视化的方法与应用。 采用三种数据源，即遥感影像数据、地形图数据、林相图数据，将地理信息系统的二次开发技术与VRML（虚拟现实模型语言）相结合，选用集成开发模式，基于.NET平台和ArcGIS Engine开发包，用vb.net语言进行开发，利用景观可视化技术构建并实现了森林景观的可视化。研究结果较直观地再现了该流域的主要景观类型，为流域的景观管理提供了一种全新的，更为直观的管理工具。该工具可以帮助人们进一步理解景观格局及其时间动态，可以对未来景观评价、生态规划提供各种预案，供社会和专家进行不同角度的评价。最后讨论了景观可视化研究中存在的主要问题，提出了一些解决办法，以及进一步的研究方向。

SSC高频计算机控制系统之软件设计

高频系统是HIRFL系统中一个很重要的组成部分。其工作的稳定性和可靠性直接影响到束流的大小和品质，通过远程计算对其控制的目的不仅使人们远离现场恶劣的工作环境，而且在于提高整个系统的稳定性和可行性。高频计算机控制系统（RFC）的控制对象就是这个高频系统，它包括两个高频机和三个稳定系统：频率稳定系统、相位稳定系统、幅度稳定系统。考虑到整个系统长时间的工作状况和对稳定性和可靠性的严格要求，系统在硬件接口上选择了具有标准接口和强的扩展能力的CAMAC系统。CAMAC机箱的串行连接通过接口板2926和计算机联系在一起。在CAMAC串行总线上共有4个机箱分别负责高频机、相位、幅度和频率系统。这套系统的软件工作在Windows98操作系统平台下。有三个部分组成软件部分：一是漂亮友好交互性强的界面，这部分是通过VB和VC混合编程得来。二是功能稳定、可靠性强的接口，这部分是在VC中建立DLL来完成最终驱动。还有一部分是数据库，这个数据库是由Access生成，用于存储程序中的参数和高频系统的运行参数。这三个部分在界面程序中有机结合在一起共同完成对整套系统的控制作用。目前这套系统已经完成，运行在中控室的控制平台上，经过测试工作效果还很不错。本论文主要具体阐述了这套系统的组成，以及在程序设计时的思路、过程还有一些问题的解决办法等。

Determination of sulfur-containing compounds in diesel oils by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with a sulfur chemiluminescence detector

This article reports an analytical method for separating, identifying and quantitating sulfur-containing compounds and their groups in diesel oils (170-400degreesC) using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with a sulfur chemiluminescence detector. The identification of target compounds and their groups was based on standard substances, the group separation feature and the-effect of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography. The quantitative analysis on major sulfur compounds and total sulfur was carried out based on the linear response of sulfur chemiluminescence detector and the internal standards method. The results of total sulfur determination in the samples were compared with those from ASTM D 4294 standard method, the R.S.D. percentage were <6.02%, correctness of this method can meet the industrial requirement. To the end, the method developed was used to investigate the sulfur-containing compounds in different diesel oils, the result shows that the distribution of sulfur-containing compounds in diesel oils from different process units are apparently different. The sulfur compounds in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), residuum fluid catalytic cracking (RFCC) diesel oils mainly exist in the form of alkyl-substituted dibenzothiophenes that add up to about 40-50% of the total sulfur, while this number is only 6-8 and 20-28% in visbreaking (VB) and delayed-coking (DC) diesel oils, respectively.

Investigation of the dewetting inhibition mechanism of thin polymer films

The mechanism of inhibition of polymer film dewetting is investigated by adding a star comb-like polymer, four-arm P(S-ran-VB-g-PMMA), to PS film and PMMA film on different substrates. It is found that the mechanism of inhibition of polymer film dewetting is kinetic in nature, and is related to the miscibility between the additional compound and the polymer film. On addition to the miscible system [four-arm P(S-ran-VB-g-PMMA) and PMMA], the star comb-like polymers can increase the resistant force of dewetting with hole growth and inhibit the dewetting process of the thin polymer film by enrichment in the rim.
