Simulation Analysis of Salt Diffusion at Wanquan River Estuary under Changing Environment by HAILAI Yibo, SHI Haoran, LIU Xiaoqing, LIU Jiao, FANG Mingyi, ZHANG Lanyue

“…The diffusion of offshore salt in inland rivers along with tidal waves has an important effect on the aquatic ecological environment of the estuary area.This paper,taking the Wanquan River Estuary as an example,used the Mike21 model to simulate the salinity distribution along the channel under different runoff and tidal levels and analyzed the change rules and leading factors.The results show that the river system and riverbed topography at the Wanquan River Estuary reduce the upward diffusion of salt propelled by the tide and that the salt is mainly distributed in the waters near the estuary.The salinity distribution along the upper reaches of the river decreases rapidly,and it basically remains unchanged when the tidal level increases by 0.1 m and 0.3 m,respectively.A sudden increase in salinity occurs where a curved or narrow channel changes the local water flow and salt accumulates.The upward diffusion range of salt is mainly affected by runoff. …”

Beam Shaping of a Dual-Reflector Antenna Using a Reflectarray as Subreflector and Embedded Unit Cell Patterns by Marzieh Mehri Dehnavi, Jean-Jacques Laurin

“…This work proposes a phase-only synthesis technique for shaping the beam of a circularly polarized dual-reflector antenna with a subreflector consisting of a reflectarray and a main parabolic reflector. The proposed technique exploits the element patterns of each reflectarray unit cell embedded in the whole system, including a feed horn, a reflectarray, and a main reflector. …”

Intelligent Sensor for Measurement Systems with Sinusoidal Excitation Response by U. A. Mikitsevich, A. I. Svistun, A. V. Samarina, K. U. Pantsialeyeu, A. L. Zharin

“…The aim of the work was to develop the optimal architecture and algorithms for the operation of intelligent sensors intended for use in measuring systems operating according to the sinusoidal excitation – response scheme.This paper describes the approach proposed by the authors to the construction of intelligent sensors based on modern microcontrollers, the distinctive feature of which is the continuous generation of sinusoidal excitation and reading responses in the background, as well as setting the readiness flags for data processing in the main process of the microprocessor, which ensures uninterrupted execution of background processes, the main of which is the generation of a sinusoidal excitatory action.This approach has been tested in the development of charge-sensitive surface mapping systems, such as the Kelvin probe based on a vibrating capacitor, and the surface photo voltage probe for the case of semiconductors.…”
