Universal construction of control Lyapunov functions for a class of nonlinear systems

A method is developed by which control Lyapunov functions of a class of nonlinear systems can be constructed systematically.Based on the control Lyapunov function,a feedback control is obtained to stabilize the closed-loop system.In addition,this method is applied to stabilize the Benchmark system.A simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.     

Distributed power control algorithm based on game theory for wireless sensor networks

Energy saving is the most important issue in research and development for wireless sensor networks. A power control mechanism can reduce the power consumption of the whole network.Because the character of wireless sensor networks is restrictive energy,this paper proposes a distributed power control algorithm based on game theory for wireless sensor networks which objects of which are reducing power consumption and decreasing overhead and increasing network lifetime.The game theory and OPNET simulation shows that the power control algorithm converges to a Nash Equilibrium when decisions are updated according to a better response dynamic.     

The self-organizing worm algorithm

A new multi-modal optimization algorithm called the self-organizing worm algorithm (SOWA) is presented for optimization of multi-modal functions.The main idea of this algorithm can be described as followsdisperse some worms equably in the domain;the worms exchange the information each other and creep toward the nearest high point;at last they will stop on the nearest high point.All peaks of multi-modal function can be found rapidly through studying and chasing among the worms.In contrast with the classical multi-modal optimization algorithms,SOWA is provided with a simple calculation,strong convergence,high precision,and does not need any prior knowledge.Several simulation experiments for SOWA are performed,and the complexity of SOWA is analyzed amply.The results show that SOWA is very effective in optimization of multi-modal functions.     

Using Action Research to Improve Communication and Facilitate Group Work in a Multicultural Classroom: A South African Case Study

This study started with problems that my colleagues (and I) were experiencing with interaction and intercultural communication among students in our diverse classrooms. Educators were also experiencing difficulties in motivating students to work effectively in groups. The purpose of this paper was to seek solutions to these problems by exploring variations of the group oral assessment structure in a multilingual and multicultural context. Four phases of assessments were conducted at two tertiary institutions in South Africa using a combination of action research and a participatory approach. Not only did this study succeed in addressing the problems but it also revealed the added benefits of using an action research methodology.     

On the Meromorphic Solutions of Linear Differential Equations

In this paper, we investigate the growth of meromorphic solutions of higher order linear differential equation f^（k） ＋Ak-1 （z）e^Pk-1^（z） f^（k-1） ＋…＋A1 （z）e^P1（z） f′ ＋Ao（z）e^Po（z） f = 0 （k ≤ 2）, where Pj（z） （j = 0, 1,..., k - 1） are nonconstant polynomials such that deg Pj = n （j = 0, 1,..., k - 1） and Aj（z）（≠ 0） （j = 0, 1,..., k - 1） are meromorphic functions with order p（Aj） 〈 n （j = 0, 1,..., k - 1）.     

离散时间不完全市场下基于计价单位投资组合法的期货定价模型

在具体的离散时间不完全市场模型中给出最优增长组合的刻画后，运用计价单位投资组合法推导出期货的无套利定价模型。随后对定价模型进行实证检验，结果表明，对于实证选取的股票期货样本，该定价模型给出的预测价格能够较好地拟合样本的实际价格，且其精度较持有成本理论单因素模型的略有提高。     

黑龙江省低山丘陵区水保措施减蚀效应研究

黑龙江省低山丘陵区土壤贫瘠,农业生产活动剧烈,加之降雨多以夏季暴雨为主,造成了严重的土壤侵蚀现象。通过对宾县三岔河小流域7个试验小区径流和产沙观测资料的分析,总结得出不同水保措施下的水土保持效益,为合理安排耕作方式提供参考。图1,表2,参16。     

农业城市人居环境建设与经济发展的协调性分析

特色城市人居环境研究目前国内报道较少。以农业城市四平市为实证,运用主成分分析和回归分析方法,探讨其人居环境与经济发展的协调性及发展趋势。得到的主要结论如下:①四平市人居环境水平目前已高于系统平均水平,人居环境建设良好,这可能与四平市以农业为主导产业,对环境污染小有一定关联;②在人居环境—经济复合系统中,人居环境和经济发展呈现出交替上升的特点,二者的协调性经历了从不协调、初步协调到协调的发展过程,目前的协调是两个系统综合指数发展到较高水平上的协调。③近几年由于经济发展对环境产生一些负效应,使人居环境发展速度减慢。图2,表8,参7。     

免耕对黑土蚯蚓数量和土壤密度的影响

以自2001年秋在吉林省德惠市中层黑土上进行的耕作定位试验小区为研究对象,对比免耕和常规耕作对东北黑土蚯蚓数量和土壤密度的影响.试验设计为裂区随机区组设计(免耕和常规秋翻两个处理),4个区组,种植作物为玉米和大豆.在玉米6叶期和8月末或9月初两次测定蚯蚓数量,土壤密度秋收后测定.采用SAS软件对2004～2006年的蚯蚓数量和土壤密度进行方差分析.试验结果表明,耕作方式、作物类型和采样时间对蚯蚓数量的影响较大,均达显著差异(P《0.05).免耕处理的蚯蚓数量是秋翻处理蚯蚓数量的2.4倍,种植大豆的蚯蚓数量是种植玉米蚯蚓数量的1.6倍,第1次的蚯蚓数量是第2次蚯蚓数量的1.9倍.耕作方式和作物类型对土壤密度没有显著影响.虽然免耕处理使5cm～10cm的土壤密度略有增加,但免耕的土壤密度与秋翻的土壤密度相比,并无显著差异.因此,同常规秋翻相比,免耕明显增加土壤中的蚯蚓数量,而且不会引起土壤的板结.
