Increase efficiency heating systems target building

There is keen interest in the use of amorphous WO3 thin films as cathodic electrodes in transmittance-modulating electrochromic devices1–4. However, these films suer from ion-trapping-induced degradation of optical modulation and reversibility on extended LiC-ion exchange. Here,we demonstrate that ion-trapping-induced degradation, which is commonly believed to be irreversible, can be successfully eliminatedby constant-current-driven de-trapping; that is, WO3 films can be rejuvenated and regain their initial highly reversible electrochromic performance. Pronounced ion trapping occurs when x exceeds 0.65 in LixWO3 during ion insertion. We find two main kinds of Li+-ion-trapping site (intermediate and deep) in WO3, where the intermediate ones are most prevalent. Li+ ions can be completely removed from intermediate traps but are irreversibly bound in deep traps. Our results provide a general framework for developing and designing superior electrochromic materials and devices

The importance of keeping public finances at the appropriate level to ensure a high competitive status of countries and regions is shown in the article. According to experts methodological researches provided by Institute of Management (IMD - Lausanne, Switzerland) the author's offers his own approach to the assessment of public finances as a factor in the international competitiveness of the country and its regions. The method of assessment of the competitive potential of public finances is recommended. The authors define an assessment of the international competitiveness of Ukraine and its regions by significant indicators of public finances (deficit / surplus of the state budget, implementation of state and local budgets amount of intergovernmental transfers, public debt, the level of tax expenditures and social foundations of public administration). The strategic direction of increasing the international competitiveness of Ukraine's and its regions is determined through the improvement of public finances.Показана важность поддержания состояния государственных финансов на должном уровне для обеспечения высокого конкурентного статуса стран и регионов.

Immunity of coherent stroboscopic processing system of ultra wideband signals during synchronous mode

Analyze of the radio pulse stroboscopic schema work in “synchronous” mode was made at clock interval synchronization by the second harmonic of intermediate frequency. It’s introduced relationships describing the input radio signal’s amplitude relationship during the phase modulation transforming in time during work the converter in synchronous mode. The results of semi natural modeling of the radio pulse gating system qualitative agreement with theoretical calculations

Scheme features of radio pulse gating for radar measurements

The model of a radio pulse stroboscopic converter consisting of a mixer and a narrowband filter tuned to the difference frequency of the carrier signals is considered. We demonstrate that the measurement of the phase structure of the input signals can be made at low frequency by amplitude methods by changing the phase both in the channel of the gating radio pulses and in the low frequency channel. The radio-pulse gating scheme goes into a phase-sensitive mode when the system clock frequency is synchronized with the second harmonic of the difference frequency, however, in this case, a parasitic phase modulation occurs in the converted signal, which does not depend on the transformation coefficient of the spectrum and is determined only by the duty cycle of the input signal. To eliminate parasitic modulation, which distorts the envelope of the output signal of the converter in a phase-sensitive mode, it is proposed to use an auto-shift circuit with a falling “slow” sawtooth voltage when generating gating radio pulses

Best Approximation of the Fractional Semi-Derivative Operator by Exponential Series

A significant reduction in the time required to obtain an estimate of the mean frequency of the spectrum of Doppler signals when seeking to measure the instantaneous velocity of dangerous near-Earth cosmic objects (NEO) is an important task being developed to counter the threat from asteroids. Spectral analysis methods have shown that the coordinate of the centroid of the Doppler signal spectrum can be found by using operations in the time domain without spectral processing. At the same time, an increase in the speed of resolving the algorithm for estimating the mean frequency of the spectrum is achieved by using fractional differentiation without spectral processing. Thus, an accurate estimate of location of the centroid for the spectrum of Doppler signals can be obtained in the time domain as the signal arrives. This paper considers the implementation of a fractional-differentiating filter of the order of ½ by a set of automation astatic transfer elements, which greatly simplifies practical implementation. Real technical devices have the ultimate time delay, albeit small in comparison with the duration of the signal. As a result, the real filter will process the signal with some error. In accordance with this, this paper introduces and uses the concept of a “pre-derivative” of ½ of magnitude. An optimal algorithm for realizing the structure of the filter is proposed based on the criterion of minimum mean square error. Relations are obtained for the quadrature coefficients that determine the structure of the filter
