First Order Sea Clutter Cross Section for HF Hybrid Sky-Surface Wave Radar

This paper presents a modified method to simulate the first order sea clutter cross section for high frequency (HF) hybrid sky-surface wave radar, based on the existent model applied in the bistatic HF surface wave radar. The modification focuses on the derivation of Bragg scattering frequency and the ionosphere dispersive impact on the clutter resolution cell. Meanwhile, an analytic expression to calculate the dispersive transfer function is derived on condition that the ionosphere is spherical stratified. Simulation results explicate the variance of the cross section after taking account of the influence triggered by the actual clutter resolution cell, and the spectral width of the first order sea clutter is defined so as to compare the difference. Eventually, experiment results are present to verify the rationality and validity of the proposed method

Constraints and Soliton Solutions for the KdV Hierarchy and AKNS Hierarchy

It is well-known that the finite-gap solutions of the KdV equation can be generated by its recursion operator.We generalize the result to a special form of Lax pair, from which a method to constrain the integrable system to a lower-dimensional or fewer variable integrable system is proposed. A direct result is that the $n$-soliton solutions of the KdV hierarchy can be completely depicted by a series of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which may be gotten by a simple but unfamiliar Lax pair. Furthermore the AKNS hierarchy is constrained to a series of univariate integrable hierarchies. The key is a special form of Lax pair for the AKNS hierarchy. It is proved that under the constraints all equations of the AKNS hierarchy are linearizable.Comment: 12 pages, 0 figur

Space-time Characteristics and Experimental Analysis of Broadening First-order Sea Clutter in HF Hybrid Sky-surface Wave Radar

In high frequency (HF) hybrid sky-surface wave radar, the first-order sea clutter broadening is very complex and serious under the influence of ionosphere and bistatic angle, which affects the detection of ship target. This paper analyzes the space-time characteristics based on the HF sky-surface wave experimental system. We first introduce the basic structure, working principle and position principle based on our experimental system. Also analyzed is the influence of ionosphere and bistatic angle on the space-time coupling characteristics of broadening first-order sea clutter and the performance of space-time adaptive processing (STAP). Finally, the results of theoretic analysis are examined with the experimental data. Simulation results show that the results of experiment consist with that of theoretic analysis

Vector and Spinor Decomposition of SU(2) Gauge Potential, their quivalence and Knot Structure in SU(2) Chern-Simons Theory

In this paper, spinor and vector decomposition of SU(2) gauge potential are presented and their equivalence is constructed using a simply proposal. We also obtain the action of Faddeev nonlinear O(3) sigma model from the SU(2) massive gauge field theory which is proposed according to the gauge invariant principle. At last, the knot structure in SU(2) Chern-Simons filed theory is discussed in terms of the $\phi$--mapping topological current theory. The topological charge of the knot is characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brouwer degrees of $\phi$-mapping.Comment: 10 pages, ni figur

Study of the Heating-and-Pressing Separation Process of Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM)

To improve hot-pressing process currently employed by the laminated object manufacturing (LOM), an innovated heating-and-pressing separation system is proposed, and heat transfer problems of this system is investigated. A thermal model is first established. It is solved numerically by the finite element method (FEM) software ANSYS, and verified by experiments. According to the numerical solution under various operating conditions, it is suggested that if the temperature and the moving speed of the heater are both increased, the depth of the heat affected laminates will be reduced. The processing time will be shortened and the manufacture efficiency will be promoted. Through analysis, it is concluded that, to obtain finished parts of high quality, the appropriate distance between the roller and the heater can be determined.Mechanical Engineerin

Phase transitions for the Lifshitz black holes

We study possibility of phase transitions between Lifshitz black holes and other configurations by using free energies explicitly. A phase transition between Lifshitz soliton and Lifshitz black hole might not occur in three dimensions. We find that a phase transition between Lifshitz and BTZ black holes unlikely occurs because they have different asymptotes. Similarly, we point out that any phase transition between Lifshitz and black branes unlikely occurs in four dimensions since they have different asymptotes. This is consistent with a necessary condition for taking a phase transition in the gravitational system, which requires the same asymptote.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, a revised version to appear in EPJ

Quantum Entanglement of Identical Particles

We consider entanglement in a system of fixed number of identical particles. Since any operation should be symmetrized over all the identical particles and there is the precondition that the spatial wave functions overlap, the meaning of identical-particle entanglement is fundamentally different from that of distinguishable particles. The identical-particle counterpart of the Schmidt basis is shown to be the single-particle basis in which the one-particle reduced density matrix is diagonal. But it does not play a special role in the issue of entanglement, which depends on the single-particle basis chosen. The nonfactorization due to (anti)symmetrization is naturally excluded by using the (anti)symmetrized basis or, equivalently, the particle number representation. The natural degrees of freedom in quantifying the identical-particle entanglement in a chosen single-particle basis are occupation numbers of different single particle basis states. The entanglement between effectively distinguishable spins is shown to be a special case of the occupation-number entanglement.Comment: 5 pages, revtex4. A sentence is improve

Gravitational Corrections to the Energy-Levels of a Hydrogen Atom

The first order perturbations of the energy levels of a hydrogen atom in central internal gravitational field are investigated. The internal gravitational field is produced by the mass of the atomic nucleus. The energy shifts are calculated for the relativistic 1S, 2S, 2P, 3S, 3P, 3D, 4S and 4P levels with Schwarzschild metric. The calculated results show that the gravitational corrections are sensitive to the total angular momentum quantum number.Comment: 7 page

Distributed H∞-consensus filtering in sensor networks with multiple missing measurements: The finite-horizon case

The official published version of the article can be found at the link below.This paper is concerned with a new distributed H∞-consensus filtering problem over a finite-horizon for sensor networks with multiple missing measurements. The so-called H∞-consensus performance requirement is defined to quantify bounded consensus regarding the filtering errors (agreements) over a finite-horizon. A set of random variables are utilized to model the probabilistic information missing phenomena occurring in the channels from the system to the sensors. A sufficient condition is first established in terms of a set of difference linear matrix inequalities (DLMIs) under which the expected H∞-consensus performance constraint is guaranteed. Given the measurements and estimates of the system state and its neighbors, the filter parameters are then explicitly parameterized by means of the solutions to a certain set of DLMIs that can be computed recursively. Subsequently, two kinds of robust distributed H∞-consensus filters are designed for the system with norm-bounded uncertainties and polytopic uncertainties. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed filters design scheme.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

Entropic force and its cosmological implications

We investigate a possibility of realizing the entropic force into the cosmology. A main issue is how the holographic screen is implemented in the Newtonian cosmology. Contrary to the relativistic realization of Friedmann equations, we do not clarify the connection between Newtonian cosmology and entropic force because there is no way of implementing the holographic screen in the Newtonian cosmology.Comment: 16 pages, no figures, version "Accepted for publication in Astrophysics & Space Science
