Cause and Elimination Mechanism of Circularly Shift Range for the Multi-range Hydro-mechanical CVT by Yin Yuxin, Zhang Mingzhu, Hao Xiaoyang, Wang Tingting, Cui Mingming

“…To avoid the circularly shift range on multi-range hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission（HMCVT）,taking the multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT of the wheel tractor of YTO-400 as example,the transmission characteristic of multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT is analyzed.The causes of the circularly shift range are researched,and eliminating mechanism is presented.The effectiveness of principle of averting the circularly shift range is simulated by using the theory of Finite State Machine,which employs the actual and theoretical displacement ratio,output speeds of multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT as the control parameter.The research results indicate that,the volumetric efficiency of the pump-motor system is the important reason for the factor of efficiency difference of the circularly shift range.By controlling the increase of the theory displacement ratio of the multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT,the actual displacement ratio is maintained at the same time,which effectively avoids the cycle change of the multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT.A theoretical foundation for the development of multi-range hydro-mechanical CVT control system is provided.…”

Error performance of CE-OFDM based AF systems with relay selection by Tao JIANG, Guangqiu LI, Jianhui CAI

“…Constant envelope (CE) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can develop the advantages of OFDM,and eliminate the shortcomings of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and sensitivity to non-linear distortion of power amplifiers.The error performance of OFDM based amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative system with relay selection will be deteriorated due to feedback delay and other factors.Minimum mean square error (MMSE) Wiener channel predictor can alleviate the deterioration of error performance of wireless systems caused by feedback delay.For this reason,the CE-OFDM based AF cooperative system with relay selection and MMSE channel prediction which can overcome the shortcomings of OFDM and the influence of feedback delay was proposed,and its lower bound expressions for the average bit error rate (ABER) of rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation over Rayleigh block fading channels were derived.The numerical calculation and simulation results show that the lower bound expressions for the ABER of the above system has high accuracy when the modulation coefficients are small and can be used to design the AF cooperative system with CE-OFDM,channel prediction,and relay selection.…”

A Critique on the Book Life, Time and Historiography of Wassaf by Sayyid Abolfazl Razavi, Hossein Hozhabrian

“…The book Life, Time and Historiography of Wassaf is important because it deals with such a historian and has been studied for this reason. The critique of this book is done by the distinction between the two concepts; explanation and interpretation, as well as differing concepts of historian and history-researcher, further the attention to both negative and positive approaches, pursues this goal to show that there is a difference between understanding of history and historiography and current interpretive understanding of the historian’s explanation, should not be considered historiography.…”
