Countercurrent Air-Water Flow in a Scale-Down Model of a Pressurizer Surge Line by Takashi Futatsugi, Chihiro Yanagi, Michio Murase, Shigeo Hosokawa, Akio Tomiyama

“…Characteristics of countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) in a 1/10-scale model of the surge line were measured using air and water at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The experimental results show that CCFL takes place at three different locations, that is, at the upper junction, in the surge line, and at the lower junction, and its characteristics are governed by the most dominating flow limitation among the three. …”

Autoencoder neural network-based abnormal data detection in edge computing enabled large-scale IoT systems by Tianqi YU, Yongxu ZHU, Xianbin WANG

“…Given the advantages of low cost and easy deployment,large-scale Internet of things (IoT) has been deployed for environment monitoring pervasively.Within such systems,cloud platform is typically utilized as a remote data and control center.However,tremendous amount of data uploading and processing induce huge challenges on bandwidth load and real-time data gathering.In order to overcome these challenges,edge computing enabled IoT system architecture was proposed for environmental monitoring.As the intermediate layer,local processing could be supported for end devices with low latency and assist with preliminary analysis to offload computational tasks from cloud and the amount of data uploading could be reduced.Based on this system architecture,an autoencoder neural network-based abnormal data detection scheme was developed newly.Performance evaluation has been conducted based on the practical oceanic atmospheric data.Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can accurately detect the abnormal data by fully exploiting the spatial data correlation.…”

Pit nucleation on as-cast aluminiuim alloy AW-5083 in 0.01M NaCl by Dolić N., Malina J., Begić-Hadžipašić A.

“…Among the commercial Al alloys, EN AW-5083 alloy is a representative non-heat treatable Al-Mg based alloy which possesses many interesting characteristics as a structural material, such as low price, moderately high strength, high formability in conjunction with superplasticity and good corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres. Aiming to enhance the knowledge of possible interactions of studied alloy EN AW-5083 in as-cast condition with chloride media, electrochemical measurements were used to follow the pitting behaviour in 0.01 M NaCl. …”

Statistical Recognition of OAM States in Free-Space Optical System by Qinnan Zhu, Guowei Yang, Zhiyu Yuan, Meihua Bi, Xuefang Zhou, Miao Hu

“…Although a few impactful methods had been developed to measure static OAM states, the fast and accurate recognition of dynamic OAM states in FSO communications remains a challenge due to the OAM crosstalk easily induced by the atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we present a new simple statistical recognition method realized by utilizing the turbulence-induced crosstalk distribution, other than the routine way to use the spatial intensity patterns. …”
