Method of Hill Tunneling via Weighted Simplex Centroid for Continuous Piecewise Linear Programming

This paper works on a heuristic algorithm with determinacy for the global optimization of Continuous PieceWise Linear(CPWL) programming. The widely applied CPWL programming can be equivalently transformed into D.C. programming and concave optimization over a polyhedron. Considering that the super-level sets of concave piecewise linear functions are polyhedra, we propose the Hill Tunneling via Weighted Simplex Centroid(HTWSC) algorithm, which can escape a local optimum to reach the other side of its contour surface by cutting across the super-level set. The searching path for hill tunneling is established via the weighted centroid of a constructed simplex. In the numerical experiments, different weighting methods are studied first, and the best is chosen for the proposed HTWSC algorithm. Then, the HTWSC algorithm is compared with the hill detouring method and the software CPLEX for the equivalent mixed integer programming, with results indicating its superior performance in terms of numerical efficiency and the global search capability.     

Revision of the West Palaearctic species of Rhoptromeris Förster, 1869 (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae)

The West Palearctic species of Rhoptromeris are revised. A total of 11 species are recognised as valid in this region, including four newly described species: Rhoptromeris dichromata sp. nov., Rhoptromeris koponeni sp. nov., Rhoptromeris leptocornis sp. nov. and Rhoptromeris macaronesiensis sp. nov. Eucoila luteicornis Ionescu, 1959 is synonymised with Rhoptromeris heptoma (Hartig, 1840) syn. nov. A checklist of the Holarctic Rhoptromeris is presented and an identification key to the West Palearctic species is provided. www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8164332C-93E2-4E3F-A408-F5FF5DFB366E     

耦合故障转子系统的降维及动力学特性

比较非线性Galerkin法和标准Galerkin法在处理滚动轴承和不对中、碰摩故障引起复杂非线性问题时的降维效果,并用非线性Galerkin法进一步分析故障转子系统的动力学特性.考虑花键联轴器不对中啮合力,建立不对中-碰摩耦合故障转子-滚动轴承-花键联轴器系统动力学模型,采用两种Galerkin法对转子系统进行降维,并进行数值仿真,利用分岔图和瀑布图等进行对比分析.结果表明:非线性Galerkin法在处理不对中单一故障及不对中-碰摩耦合故障转子系统所得结果均能与未降维系统较好地吻合,而标准Galerkin法所得结果则存在一定差别甚至出现降维方法失效;应用非线性Galerkin法进一步分析故障转子系统发现,尽管降维使故障转子系统的维数减少,但并未改变故障转子的动力学特性,其故障特征信息仍得到保留.     

电润湿显示器件的电场动态响应特性对其性能的影响

选用基于Teflon AF1600为绝缘层的电润湿显示器件,研究了电润湿显示器件的电场动态响应特性对其显示性能的影响,并分析了缺陷产生的机理.结果表明,区域像素电容值显著低于理想电容值的显示器件损坏率高,且开口率较低;区域像素电容值显著高于理想电容值的显示器件阈值电压较高,同时开口率也不理想;区域像素电容值接近于理想电容值的显示器件的显示性能普遍良好.而器件的损耗因数过大降低了像素电容的参考准确性.拆件分析也发现,区域像素电容值低的器件制备过程中引入的Na+,使得溶液电导通性发生改变,致使器件耐压下降;区域像素电容值高的器件,其绝缘层边缘过薄甚至部分无覆盖,致使其灵敏度降低,阈值电压升高.     

Solvent-free selective hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene to o-chloroaniline over alumina supported Pt nanoparticles

A supported Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by immobilizing preformed colloidal Pt nanoparticles on Al2O3. The particle size and size distribution of Pt particles on Al2O3 remained the same as the colloidal nanoparticles. Selective hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene to ochloroaniline was performed on the as-prepared Pt/Al2O3 nanocatalyst without using any solvent and 88.5% selectivity to o-chloroaniline at 98.2% conversion of o-chloronitrobenzene was achieved. Further catalytic experiments with metal cation modification showed that some metal cations could improve the activity in various degrees while maintaining the high selectivity. Especially, 99.8% selectivity to o-chloroaniline at ~100% conversion was attained with Sn4t.     

低碳生物滴滤池处理餐饮废水启动研究

研究了新型低碳生物滴滤池处理餐饮废水的挂膜启动,及对餐饮废水处理的效果。结果表明:挂膜初期首先由于反应器中填料吸附作用,对餐饮废水中的CODCr和NH3-N的去除率都相对较高;中期在填料吸附饱和后,生物膜较少,对污染物利用不高而导致去除率急速下降;最后反应器对CODCr和NH3-N的去除率又重新升高,分别可以达到80%以上。表明挂膜启动成功,并且具有一定的抗冲击负荷能力。反应器对餐饮废水中的TN、TP也表现出良好的去除效果。低碳生物滴滤池处理餐饮废水无需动力就具有较好的去除能力,占地面积小,有较好的抗冲击负荷能力。

Dynamic Event-Triggered Control for Nonlinear Systems: A Small-Gain Approach

An event-triggered control(ETC) system transmits data packages and updates control inputs only when the predefined criterion is satisfied. In this way, network communication and computing resources are scheduled more reasonably in contrast to the traditional periodic sampling strategy.Small-gain approach proposed in recent literatures is a new modeling method to deal with nonlinear ETC systems. Different from traditional ETC models, stability criteria are proposed in the form of input to state stability(ISS) gain to design the triggering mechanisms. This paper introduces additional dynamic variables in this model and proposes a small-gain based dynamic event-triggered strategy.Sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability of the system are derived with the help of cyclic-smallgain theorem and Zeno behaviors are avoided to ensure the feasibility of this method in practical applications. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
