旋转叶片异步振动参数辨识方法及试验验证 by 王茜, 雷晓波

“…Based on the principle of blade tip timing（ BTT） and the vibration principle of one degree of freedom,the parameter identification algorithm of rotating blade asynchronous vibration is established by using all phase FFT（ apFFT） and least square method.The algorithm is verified by numerical simulation,and the test parameter and empirical value of the rationality for sensor layout are given.The tests of asynchronous vibration parameter identification were launched on a fan rotor,while high pressure nitrogen was used to shock the blades to produce single frequency absolute occupancy vibration.Results show that the method for asynchronous vibration identification could accurately identify blade vibration parameters,and the vibration frequencies of all blades obtained are exactly the same.Frequency identification accuracy is high with the maximum relative error of 1.12% using strain analysis frequency as a baseline.Results verify that the method of asynchronous vibration parameter identification is correct.…”

Security control scheme for cloud data copy based on differential privacy model by Jun REN, Jin-bo XIONG, Zhi-qiang YAO

“…In cloud computing environment,adversary may use data deduplication as a side channel to eavesdrop users’ privacy.In order to tackle this serious issue,a secure copy number control scheme was proposed.The highlights of the proposed scheme lie in constructing a hybrid cloud framework.Then file was encrypted for second times by using the privacy protection parameters of differential privacy as well as the key of the file computed by convergent encryption algorithm.After the file is uploaded,each file has only one copy in the server.Meanwhile,compared with the scheme that use setting threshold value to control the number of copies,the proposed scheme can resist against the side channel attack,related files attack,and the specific attack of encryption algorithm and save the network bandwidth and disk storage space.…”

Adaptive energy-saving routing algorithm for inter-clustering communications in WSN by Wen-feng LI, Lian-feng SHEN, Jing HU

“…An adaptive routing algorithm was proposed for saving nter-clustering communication energy in wireless sensor networks (WSN).In the network,the end-to-end route discovery mechanism was based on the primary principle of the minimum communication costs.An algorithm was prop sed for inter-clustering communication optimization by adaptively selecting the most energy-efficient communication mode among direct,relaying and cooperative communications.The proposed routing algorithm guarantees that the source node can discover the minimum or sub-minimum energy consumption route to the base station.It also decreases the probability that the communications are interrupted due to the coverage holes.Compared with the other routing algorithms,the simu tion results show that the proposed routing algorithm makes WSN consume less energy in each round under the same throughput and bit error ratio (BER).It can also prolong the network lifetimes and operation times under the different node densities.…”

FROM THE METAPHOR OF WATER TO CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN ENESCU, EMINESCU, BLAGA AND THE ROMANIAN SPIRITUALITY by Olguţa LUPU

“… In the work of George Enescu, nature is regarded not as an intrinsic reality, but rather as an array of elements permanently interacting with the human being, giving birth to a complex connection, sometimes manifested through a harmonious communion, other times garnering dramatic dimensions. Of all the primordial elements, the symbol of water marks Enescu’s entire creation, illustrating the complexity of the relationship between man and nature: from the serene and melancholic pages of his youth, that broach the romantic genre of character miniature (barcarola), to the works characterized by a nostalgic and introspective component with a touch of memoir (in Childhood Impressions or The Villageoise Suite), all the way to the tragedy in Vox Maris – whose similarities with Oedipus require further investigation. …”

Comparative Analysis of Adsorption Performance of Wetland Ceramsite Filler Before and After Carbonization Modification by HUANG Enze, JIANG Yuxin, JIANG Xiaoying, WU Qinkai, ZENG Qiuyong, XIA Ting

“…The following conclusions are drawn: ①After the carbonization of the ceramsite, the surface porosity increases, the morphology becomes more regular, the surface is mainly convex granules,and the specific surface area of carbonized ceramsite increases by 7.43 times. ②The saturated adsorption capacity of ceramsite to TN and TP increases significantly after carbonization; ③Under simulated vertical-flow wetland operating conditions, the maximum removal rates of TP, TN, ammonia nitrogen and COD_Mn by modified ceramsite are 63.7%, 52.06%, 71.26% and 47.82%, respectively, which are higher than those by ceramsite and volcanic rock before modification.…”
