Singularly perturbed periodic parabolic equations with alternating boundary layer type solutions

“…We study boundary layer type solutions that, as time increases, periodically go through two fairly long lasting stages with extremely fast transitions in between. During one of these stages the solution outside the boundary layer is close to one of the roots of the degenerate (reduced) equation, while during the other stage the solution is close to the other root. …”

Calculation of rf-induced temporal jitter in ultrafast electron diffraction by T. Xu, F. Ji, C. J. R. Duncan, S. P. Weathersby, R. J. England

“…In this paper, we present a semianalytical approach for calculating rf-induced temporal jitter from klystron and rf cavity parameters. Our approach allows fast estimation of temporal jitter for MeV-UED beamlines and can serve as a virtual timing tool when shot-to-shot measurements of rf amplitude and phase jitters are available. …”

Image quality evaluation method base on digital wavelet transform and vision weighted by JIANG Ming1, MA Zhao-feng1, XIN Yu3, NIU Xin-xin1, YANG Yi-xian1

“…A new objective method WVWPSNR（wavelet and vision weighted peak signal noise ratio） was presented.In which the method was based on DWT,and the sensitivity of HVS（human visual system） was weighted using sub-band division.In this method,the assessment valued of the new method accord with MOS（mean opinion score）.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and to verify the reliability of WVWPSNR method,a series of experiment for JPEG、JPEG2000、White Noise、Gaussian Blur and FastFading images were made and tested.The results suggest that the proposed method can provide accurate measures of image quality under JPEG compression.…”

Injection Rate-Dependent Deflecting Propagation Rule of Hydraulic Fracture: Insights from the Rate-Dependent Fracture Process Zone of Mixed-Mode (I-II) Fracturing by Yuekun Xing, Bingxiang Huang

“…Thus, the mixed-mode (I-II) fracture tends to propagate unstably driven by kinetic energy once FPZ develops completely under fast loading. Moreover, two injection rate-dependent (IRD) HF deflecting propagation modes were determined, i.e., the step-by-step stable-propagation and step-by-step unstable propagation modes. …”
