Study on Flood Simulation and Its Real-time Correction of Qinhuai River Basin Based on Grid-Xin'anjiang Model by SUN Wenyu, WANG Rong, YAO Cheng, HE Jian, LI Zhijia, GONG Junfu, HUANG Pengnian

“…There are many small and medium-sized rivers in China,with frequent floods and serious disasters,which are the key weak links in flood prevention and control.Qinhuai River system is one of the most important water bodies in Nanjing,and the possible flood disaster in the flood season poses a threat to the life and property safety in the whole city.Taking Qianhan Village in Qinhuai River basin as the research object,this paper conducts the flood simulation through the Xin'anjiang model and Grid-Xin'anjiang model,and corrects it in real time by the KNN method and feedback method,so as to realize fast and accurate flood forecasting calculation.The results show that without real-time correction,the simulation accuracy of the Grid-Xin'anjiang model is slightly better than that of the Xin'anjiang model,and the simulation results of the two models are generally good.After real-time correction,the simulation results of the Xin'anjiang model and the Grid-Xin'anjiang model are improved obviously,which can provide an important basis for the decision of flood control and disaster reduction in the Qinhuai River Basin.…”

Universal relations and bounds for fluctuations in quasistatic small heat engines by Kosuke Ito, Guo-Hua Xu, Chao Jiang, Édgar Roldán, Raúl A. Rica-Alarcón, Ignacio A. Martínez, Gentaro Watanabe

“…However, this measure is insufficient to characterize the properties of miniaturized heat engines carrying non-negligible fluctuations, and a study of higher-order statistics of their energy exchanges is required. Here, we generalize Carnot’s result for reversible cycles to arbitrary order moment of the work and heat fluctuations. …”

Interval Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Dynamic Equations with Nonlinearities Given by Riemann-Stieltjes Integrals by Yuangong Sun

“…By using a generalized arithmetic-geometric mean inequality on time scales, we study the forced oscillation of second-order dynamic equations with nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integrals of the form [p(t)ϕα(xΔ(t))]Δ+q(t)ϕα(x(τ(t)))+∫aσ(b)r(t,s)ϕγ(s)(x(g(t,s)))Δξ(s)=e(t), where t∈[t0,∞)T=[t0,∞)  ⋂  T, T is a time scale which is unbounded from above; ϕ*(u)=|u|*sgn u; γ:[a,b]T1→ℝ is a strictly increasing right-dense continuous function; p,q,e:[t0,∞)T→ℝ, r:[t0,∞)T×[a,b]T1→ℝ, τ:[t0,∞)T→[t0,∞)T, and g:[t0,∞)T×[a,b]T1→[t0,∞)T are right-dense continuous functions; ξ:[a,b]T1→ℝ is strictly increasing. …”

Dual functional radar communication based on serial time division CC-CDMA by Yubo LI, Jian CUI, Junchao FENG, Xiaoyu CHEN

“…In order to improve the performance of target detection and solve the problem of self-interference and mutual interference between multiple targets and multiple users, a radar communication integration system based on serial time division CC-CDMA was proposed.Firstly, the code division multiplexing mechanism was used to adjust the spread spectrum sequence of different subcodes in the complementary code to the signals on different time slices at the transmitter through the generalized PTM sequence to generate the integrated signal of radar communication.Secondly, the receiving end of the radar processed the data twice, and the point-by-point minimization method was used to fuse the processing results to improve the target detection capability of the radar subsystem.Lastly, at the receiving end of communication, the subcodes corresponding to the spread spectrum sequence at the transmitting end were used to de-amplify the received signals, and the bit error ratio was further reduced by interleaved coding and Hamming coding.Simulation results show that compared with other radar communication integration systems, the proposed system has lower bit error rate, higher Doppler resolution and better side lobe suppression performance.…”
