Study on the Stability of High-Speed Turning Braking Based on the Hardware-in-the-Loop Test
During the tire cornering braking process, busses easily cause traffic accidents such as slewed or tail flick if the tire is not locked. Therefore, in the process of cornering braking, the theoretical controlled slip rate of approximately 0.2 is not sufficient. To improve the stability of the vehicle, the Hardware-in-the-Loop Test is introduced. The fuzzy PID algorithm is used to calculate the tire slip rate of four tires using the actual yaw velocity and sideslip angle values and the expected difference among the values. The high-speed vehicle was tested on high- and low-adhesion roads. The study shows that this method outputs the new slip rate, improves the vehicle stability in the loss of braking efficiency, further perfects the study of the antilock braking system and has practical significance
Examining Scientific Writing Styles from the Perspective of Linguistic Complexity
Publishing articles in high-impact English journals is difficult for scholars
around the world, especially for non-native English-speaking scholars (NNESs),
most of whom struggle with proficiency in English. In order to uncover the
differences in English scientific writing between native English-speaking
scholars (NESs) and NNESs, we collected a large-scale data set containing more
than 150,000 full-text articles published in PLoS between 2006 and 2015. We
divided these articles into three groups according to the ethnic backgrounds of
the first and corresponding authors, obtained by Ethnea, and examined the
scientific writing styles in English from a two-fold perspective of linguistic
complexity: (1) syntactic complexity, including measurements of sentence length
and sentence complexity; and (2) lexical complexity, including measurements of
lexical diversity, lexical density, and lexical sophistication. The
observations suggest marginal differences between groups in syntactical and
lexical complexity.Comment: 6 figure
