Study on Fluid Characteristic of New Composite Stern Bearing by Shenwen Long, Youqiang Wang, Yabo Zhou, Cong Wei

“…In order to solve the problem of wear and scorch caused by the stern bearing in the start-stop phase， a new type of bearing with a combination of spiral cavity and ladder cavity is proposed based on the finite element analysis software Fluent. Firstly， the flow field analysis is used to simulate the pressure of the traditional bearing and composite bearing. …”

CIVA Confirmation of the effect of Wedge Gap on Amplitude by Edward Ginzel, Robert Ginzel

“…The purpose of wear pins is often ignored as technicians adjust them proud of the refracting wedge, with the explanation that it is “to improve couplant flow”. Contrary to the opinion that a small gap improves the inspection, lab observations and CIVA simulations have been carried out to demonstrate that there is a deleterious effect on signal quality when coupling gap is used. …”

SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR FOR ASSESSING LAND DEGRADATION IN A SALT MINING AREA – OCNELE MARI CASE-STUDY by VIOLETA POENARU, ALEXANDRU BADEA, SORIN MIHAI CÎMPEANU, IULIA DANA NEGULA

“…Human activities through anthropogenic changes had negative impacts not only on land cover, but on many aspects of local, regional and global environments, including climate, biodiversity, soil condition and sediment flow. Remote sensing imagery with its useful qualitative and quantitative observations acquired repetitively and with large spatial coverage, offers opportunity for early detection and warning of land degradation risk. …”

Information Diffusion Model of Social Bots: An Analysis of the Spread of Coverage of China Issues by The New York Times on Twitter by Na Han, Hebo Huang, Jianjun Wang, Bin Shi, Li Ren

“…Based on the analysis of bots' posting frequency, influence, and retweeting relationship, we take the diffusion of The New York Times' coverage of Xinjiang issue on the overseas social platform Twitter as an example and employ the two-step flow model. It is found that in the role of second-step diffusion, unlike posting news indiscriminately in first-step diffusion, social bots are more inclined to postcontroversial information in second-step diffusion; in terms of diffusion patterns, although social bots are more engaged in first-step diffusion than in second-step diffusion and can trigger human users to retweet, they are still inferior to humans in terms of influence.…”

Study of Bed Deformation Trend of Wakouzi-Majiazui Section in the Upper Jingjiang Reach of Yangtze River by ZHANG Hong, LIU Qihang

“…The riverbed scour and deposition of sandy section in Jingjiang reach of Yangtze River deforms dramatically since the operation of the Three Georges Reservoir.Taking the Wakouzi-Majiazui section as the example,based on recent channel topography and hydrological data,this paper simulates and predicts the bed deformation trend of the section for the next 20 years through a two-dimensional flow-sediment numerical model.The results indicate that:The river regime of Wakouzi-Majiazui section is generally stable for the next 20 years,and the main channel erosion will continue and develop downstream.The Jincheng sandbar shows no significantly variation,and the evolution of Tuqi sandbar is characterized by the sedimentation of left branch and scouring of right branch,with the right branch in dominant position continuously,which offer an important reference for channel and waterway regulation.…”

SDN enabled space-terrestrial integrated network architecture of railway system by Yinglei TENG, Xin LI, Jian WANG, Bogen CAI, Mei SONG

“…In view of the current situation that it is difficult to guarantee the safe and reliable transmission of data with the poor geographical environment in the single standard train communication network,the communication needs of each business of the railway system were investigated and a space-terrestrial integrated network architecture based on software defined network (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) was proposed.By focusing on the controller to manage the physical facilities,the architecture realized decoupling application and physical infrastructure.The design of the architectural details and the requirements of the agreement for the architecture in the functional requirements and the information flow were discussed.In the end,the performance comparison between the space-terrestrial integrated network and other single-system network coverage was given,problems remaining to be solved and some feasible solutions faced by the space-terrestrial integrated network were briefly discussed.…”
