Modeling large reversible electric-field-induced strain in ferroelectric materials using 90° orientation switching

Reversible large electric-field-induced strain caused by reversible orientation switchings in BaTiO3 is modeled using the Landau's theory of phase transition.A triple well free energy function is constructed.Each of its minima is associated with one of the polarization orientations involved.Nonlinear constitutive laws accounting for reversible orientation switchings and electrostriction effects are obtained by using thermodynamic equilibrium conditions.Hysteretic dynamics of onedimensional structures is des...     

Clapping and Broadcasting Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks

The Clapping and Broadcasting Synchronization (CBS) algorithm,which is specifically designed for large-scale sensor networks with low communication overhead and high synchronization accuracy,is introduced.The CBS protocol uses broadcasting rather than pairwise communication to accomplish synchronization.In the CBS scheme,the initial offset of local clocks can be successfully eliminated by the operation of clapping nodes,which leads to significant improvement in synchronization accuracy.The CBS protocol was implemented on the TelosB platform and its performance was evaluated in a variety of experiments.The results demonstrate that the CBS protocol outperforms the current state-of-the-art approach,the Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol (FTSP),in both single-hop and multi-hop scenarios in terms of synchronous precision and energy consumption.In multi-hop scenarios,the CBS algorithm keeps about 50% of its synchronization errors within 1 ms.In comparison,the FTSP keeps less than 7% of its synchronization errors within this range.In both single-hop and multi-hop scenarios,the CBS protocol is over 3.2 times more energy-efficient than the FTSP.     

Controlling the probability density of quantum systems

A new method to design a quantum controller which directly controls the probability density function(PDF) of quantum systems is proposed.Based on the quantum model from the PDF perspective,two specific control algorithms are proposed with uniform and non-uniform fields,respectively.Then a detailed control algorithm with convergence analysis is given for the small error case.By appropriately estimating the selected Lyapunov function,more accurate control effect is achieved.The proposed scheme provides a constructive method to find appropriate parameters for controller design.

One-Class Support Vector Machine with Relative Comparisons

One-class support vector machines (one-class SVMs) are powerful tools that are widely used in many applications. This paper describes a semi-supervised one-class SVM that uses supervision in terms of relative comparisons. The analysis uses a hypersphere version of one-class SVMs with a penalty term appended to the objective function. The method simultaneously finds the minimum sphere in the feature space that encloses most of the target points and considers the relative comparisons. The result is a standard...

非对称参数细胞神经网络中的混沌与分叉

研究了由３个细胞组成的细胞神经网络中的混沌与分叉现象。主要讨论细胞神经网络中的一类特殊奇异吸引子，它由两个稳定平衡点和一个不稳定平衡点（鞍点）及其流形形成。通过取不同的初始值，可以在同一组参数下获得３种不同的相轨线图，也可观察到一个不稳定极限环的存在。通过调整系统的参数，还可获得类似于蔡氏电路的奇异吸引子序列
