Ranging localization method for nodes in underwater wireless sensor network based on zeroing neural dynamics by Xiujuan DU, Lijuan WANG, Jingping LIU, Long JIN

“…In underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN), the AoA/TDoA-based ranging localization problem for nodes was formulated from a time-variant perspective, and a zeroing neural dynamics model was proposed to solve it.Then, the convergence of the proposed model was theoretically analyzed.Furthermore, computer simulations on UWSN localization were carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models in terms of accuracy and robustness to the mobile localization.Additionally, through tests performed in Qinghai lake, the coordinates of nodes of UWSN test-bed were leverage to illustrate the potential applicability of the proposed model in the true underwater environment.…”

A Method of Stability Prediction for Gear Milling by Zhang Kaifei, Jin Gang, Yu Yongchang, Wang Wanzhang

“…The milling chatter is a form of self-excited,unstable vibration in the process of machining,which may result in low machining quality,poor accuracy and surface finish,as well as accelerated tool wear,aside from damaging the cutting spindle and machined part.A semi-discretization method for predicting the stability of milling process with multiple time delays to study cutting chatter is presented.Taking the unequal pitch milling as example,the comparison between this method and the existing zero order analysis method is carried out,through the theoretical verification,the proposed method with variable pitch cutter in the spindle between 8 000 to 9 000r/min will obtain greater stability prediction limit,while in other revolution range,two predictive results are in good congruency.…”

Genome-Wide Identification and In Silico Expression Analysis of <i>CCO</i> Gene Family in <i>Citrus clementina</i> (Citrus) in Response to Abiotic Stress by Sadaf Sarwar, Adnan Sami, Muhammad Zeshan Haider, Layba Tasawar, Jannat Akram, Arsalan Ahmad, Muhammad Shafiq, Haitham E. M. Zaki, Gabrijel Ondrasek, Muhammad Shafiq Shahid

“…<i>CCO</i> genes can be divided into two main categories: <i>NCED</i> (9-cis-epoxy carotenoid dioxygenase), responsible for abscisic acid (ABA) production, and <i>CCD</i> (carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase), involved in pigment and strigolactone formation. To better understand the roles and positions of <i>CcCCO</i> gene members in relation to these hormones, researchers analyzed the clementine genome. …”

Numerical Study on the Relationship between the Dominant Frequency of Blasting Vibration and the Development of Plastic Zone in Cylindrical Charge by Da Liu, Xiaohua Zhao, Jianglin Gao, Binghan Xue, Xiaobin Wu, Songtao Hu, Fang Chen

“…The results indicate that the dominant frequency of the blasting vibration for both cylindrical and spherical charges is closely related to the range of the plastic zone formed by the rock blasting. As the elastic cavity radius increases, both the zero-crossing and the dominant Fourier frequencies decrease, and the amplitude spectrum shifts to lower frequencies. …”
