Reply to the comment of Cheng et al.

We thank Cheng et al. for their interest in our paper “On linking climate to Chinese dynastic change: Spatial and temporal variations of of monsoonal rain” [1]. Our paper was written largely as a response to the suggestion made by Zhang P Z, et al. [2] that climate has a key role in affecting chapters of Chinese cultural history (e.g. the demise of the Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties).

线性GaAs光电导开关的饱和参数研究

通过计算几种主要散射机制对GaAs迁移率和电导率的影响, 给出了GaAs迁移率和电导率随载流子浓度的变化规律; 考虑常温、低偏置电场下费米能级对载流子浓度的约束, 给出了光激励下GaAs中的饱和载流子浓度; 结合微带实验测试电路方程、饱和载流子浓度计算结果、半导体迁移率和电导率随载流子浓度的变化规律, 以及半导体材料对激励光强的朗伯吸收规律, 给出了微带测试电路条件下的饱和光能和饱和电压等参数, 在实验误差范围内, 理论计算结果与实验测试结果较好吻合.     

基于试验模态分析的钢棒裂纹缺陷损伤性

为克服传统无损检测方法检测缺陷成本高、局部化等缺点,采用单输入单输出(SISO)的试验模态分析方法,对直径8mm的不同损伤钢杆进行试验研究.通过对相应动态参数的分析,提取振型应变模态差分曲线为裂纹缺陷直接评价指标.模态分析结果表明,利用此指标能准确地判断实际损伤位置和评估损伤程度,此方法可用于工程结构缺陷的动态无损检测和评估中.     

On linking climate to Chinese dynastic change: Spatial and temporal variations of monsoonal rain

The causal correlation or linkage between the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) intensity and rise/fall of Chinese dynasties recently proposed by high-resolution paleoclimate reconstructions is examined in detail. Aside from many exceptions to the correlation, both instrumental and historical climate records show strong spatial variations of rainfall on annual-to-decadal scales over eastern China. The relationship between rainfall and EAM intensity also exhibits regional disparity. These observations suggest: (1) Ta...
