    The major error sources of deriving TEC from GPS observational data are instrumental biases. Two methods of extracting TEC and instrumental biases based on single site's GPS observations, called Kalman filter and self adjusted cell methods respectively, are presented. TEC and instrumental biases were computed by using these two methods from GPS data at several sites in 2004. The results were analyzed respectively and then compared with each other. The results also were compared with corresponding values published by CODE (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe).Its statistical characteristics with respect to the latitude of observational site were discussed. The main results can be concluded that the proposed methods can be used to derive TEC and instrumental biases which are accuracy enough with respect to CODE's published values. The standard deviations of derived instrumental biases are related to latitudes of observational sites. For China region, based on the paper's computational results, it shows that the sites with lower latitude are related with larger deviation, which is a implication that ionosphere is more complex in low latitude area than that in mid latitude and more caution should be paid in using the assumption of simple smooth ionospheric model in lower latitude.

    The von Neumann entropy measure of entanglement is used to study the fractional quantum Hall effect on the sphere. Numerical results show that the FQHE on the sphere is a maximal entanglement state. While the number of particles in the system is big, the value of the entanglement (E) can be written as the function of the filling factor (ν):E~log21ν.

    A new kind of specimen was designed and produced to research the dynamic bond-strength of the interface between steel and cement mortar experimentally and numerically. The relationship of the loading speed rate and the bond-strength of the interface between steel and cement mortar was investigated through quasi-static and impact experiments. Numerical calculation was carried out by using LS-DYNA software and Johnson-Holmquist-Cook model as the constitutive relationship of cement mortar material. By calculation the process and mechanism of the fracture of the interface under impact loading was studied and the credibility and reliability of the impact experiment method based on the SHPB experiment technique are verified. It can be concluded that the bond-strength is roughly linear with the logarithm of the loading speed rates.

    The intense pulsed ion beam (IPIB) mixing effect of Ni/Ti and Al/Ti systems are studied. Compared with common ion beam, it is obvious that the mixing layers formed by IPIB irradiation are thicker, and the mixing rate is much higher. However, the IPIB mixing effects are various for different film/substrate systems because of their different thermodynamic properties. During IPIB irradiation, film material lost seriously, especially for the samples with big differences in their film and substrate thermal dynamic parameters. Two IPIB mixing mechanisms which are distinct from common ion beam mixing are discussed and the reason of mass loss of film materials are analyzed.

    A GPGPU accelerated audio mixing algorithm for multi-party collaboration namely GAM is introduced. The mixing is performed by pixel shader. To minimize time used while buffer switching, traditional mixing algorithm was rearranged to a two-pass rendering. By vertex shader, the projection of 3-D model was moved between the passes. So multiple functions resulting different sized output set were performed on one render buffer without multiple shader executions on one pixel. The audio units to be mixed were inputted in one texture to remedy the issue that the I/O bandwidth of GPGPU was not match to the computational capacity of GPGPU. The experimental result shows that the GAM algorithm achieves high performance contrasting to CPU-based algorithms on mainstream hardware.

    Pipelined level one instruction cache (PIL1) has been proposed to improve instruction fetch bandwidth in high frequency processor. However, few researches in the literature have focused on reducing the leakage power in PIL1. Here,the authors observe that the PIL1 structure naturally lends itself to provide inherent leakage power saving opportunities. Based on this observation, the authors propose to manage cache line activities according to the demand of the fetch address, which activates only the requested line and keeps others in low-voltage mode, thereby saving leakage power effectively. Simulation results demonstrate that the PIL1 leakage power is reduced by an average of 77.3%. Meanwhile, the performance degradation is only 0.32% and no timing overhead is induced.

    This paper describes a low-pass filter with adjustable bandwidth range from 100 Hz to 8 kHz for MEMS capacitive accelerometer readout circuit. The signals with their frequencies lower than 500 Hz are filtered through the switched-capacitor low-pass filter, while those higher than 500 Hz are filtered through the continuous-time one. This low-pass filter was implemented with 1.2 μm 2P2M N-well CMOS process. Problems such as charge injection and clock feedthrough caused by turning off swithes are analyzed and solved in this design. The optimal switch sequence helps eliminate the nonlinearity caused by the charge injection; the addition of dummy switches to sensitive nodes caused by the clock feedthrough can greatly reduce the coupled charge; and the use of high PSRR folded cascode differential input stage can restrain the interference from the power supply. The circuit performance, therefore, has been greatly improved.

    The accuracy of time domain integral equation (TDIE) methods for broadband electromagnetic scattering problems is studied. The impacts of different choice of temporal basis functions on the accuracy of the induced surface current,scattered far-field and radar cross-section (RCS) are examined. Numerical results show that: for closed scatterers, time domain combined field integral equations (TDCFIE) must be employed to suppress the resonant disturbance; whereas the induced currents and far-fields in time domain look accurate, the RCS defined in frequency domain may deviate obviously, which suggests that RCS could be the best quantity for accuracy checking.

    To seek the good tradeoff between robustness and unobtrusiveness, the cover data is divided into nonoverlapping blocks and an independent distortion situation is assigned to each block, which is called localized quality evaluation. Two specific implementations applying the Signal to Noise Ratio and Watson's visual model as the quality metrics are respectively achieved in the sense of maximizing the detection value. And the corresponding upper limits are derived under the given distortion constraints. Then, some practical adjustment strategies of those relative parameters are provided. The approach also introduces an improved linear correlation detector using side information and analyzes its performance mathematically. A lot of experimental results show the presented schemes obtain very significant performance improvement in terms of image transparency and robustness.

    LDPC-SPC codes is introduced. LDPC-SPC codes choose LDPC codes as horizontal codes and single parity check (SPC) codes as vertical codes. Some decoding algorithms are also given, including algorithms based on hard decision and soft decision. By these algorithms, each bit of every LDPC code can get extrinsic messages from other LDPC code words to help LDPC decoder decode successfully. Based on the LDPC code which is half rate and 8064 bits long, a LDPC-SPC code is constructed. Simulation results show that the LDPC-SPC codes can lower the error floor of the LDPC codes and have better BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance. When BER is 10-7, the performance of the LDPC-SPC codes is 0.3 dB better than the LDPC codes.

    High purity alumina foils were used as raw material. Based on porous anodic aluminium oxide membrane (AAO), the pivotal intermediate product, boehmite nanowires were successfully synthesized by an efficient hydrothermal method. The whole reaction process was very simple and avoids the superfluous impurities. The characteristic length of the products was 60 nm and the diameter of them is about 2-5 nm. By the comparative experiments, it could be concluded that the multiporous structure of AAO was the key reason for synthesizing boehmite nanowires by this method.

    Based on the meteorological data from five weather stations of Shenyang during 1959-2005, the change trends and characteristics of the temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed of urban and rural areas of Shenyang are analyzed. The effect of urbanization on local climate in Shenyang is discussed. The results show that: 1 in recent 47 years, the temperature of Shenyang has increased remarkably, with the most obvious warming occurring in winter and spring, and a little warming trend in summer. Meanwhile, the warming trend of rural areas increases slightly faster than that of urban areas. 2 The change trends of precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed of Shenyang decreases mostly, of which wind speed decreases most and precipitation decreases least. Compared with relative humidity and wind speed, the seasonal change trend of precipitation is complex, with a little increase in winter. The analysis indicates that the development of urbanization in Shenyang has a serious effect on local climate, especially on the climate of rural areas. Furthermore, the effect of urbanization on temperature and wind speed is more obvious and direct than that on relative humidity and precipitation.

    Retrieving atmospheric water vapor from remote sensing data is very important in such aspects as water circulation, global climatic change, weather forecast and atmosphere correction. Considering the scanning angle of the sensor, the two-band ratio method for retrieval of atmospheric total water vapor is developed by moderate-resolution imaging spectro-radiometer(MODIS) near infrared measurements. The RMS error compared to radiosonde observation is 0.29 g/cm2, and the correlation coefficient is 92%. The comparison of the monthly mean total water vapor distribution shows that the retrieval water vapor field is in good agreement with that of the MODIS product.

    A typical stagnant air pollution episode happened during October 1 to 10, 2004 in Beijing. Using the method of footprint analysis and the monitoring data for major pollutant (PM10 in this period, detailed process and the source-area of potential influence in this episode were analyzed. Results illustrate that: 1 the diurnal variation of PM10 concentration differs significantly from usual case, and high concentration appeares in the afternoons and evenings, 2 the horizontal distribution of PM10 concentration has a pattern as “the higher in the south and the lower in the north”, and 3 the development of the episode is accompanied with obviously extending of the footprint 100-200 km to the southwest of Beijing, suggesting that source emission from the southwest may contribute significantly to this heavy pollution episode.

    The topological relations between simple regions with broad boundaries (BBRs) can be modeled by the extended 9-intersection model and be computed out easily, while the relations between composite BBRs are more complex than the relations between simple ones. Therefore, in order to query and analyze topological relations between composite BBRs in computer environment, a computational method is needed. Based on the relation of composite BBRs and their simple BBRs, an approach is proposed to compute the topological relations between composite BBRs from the relations between simple ones. The computation approach makes that the extended 9-intersection is no longer a conceptual model, but a computational model, which is helpful to query and analyze the topological relations between BBRs.
