Designing Unimodular Waveform with Low Range Sidelobes and Stopband for Cognitive Radar via Relaxed Alternating Projection by Xiang Feng, Yang-chun Song, Zhi-quan Zhou, Yi-nan Zhao

“…This novel method, based on phase retrieval and relaxed alternating projection, could convert the correlation optimization into the spectrum approximation via the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Moreover, by virtue of the relaxation factor and accelerated factor, SARAP can exploit local area and more likely converge to the global solution. …”

Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Pollutant Shifting Law of Shuangfengsi Reservoir under Flood Process by SUN Bolun, LIU Bin, ZHANG Yifan, XU Zhiheng, HAN Yuhang, CHANG Yifan

“…This paper aims to provide a theoretical basis for effective control of water pollution and technical support for joint simulation and control of reservoir hydrodynamic and water quality.It takes Shuangfengsi Reservoir as the research object and builds a hydrodynamic and water quality coupling model in virtue of MIKE21 to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics and pollutant migration rule of a typical flood process in 1962.The output results show that in a typical flood process,the change of flow field in the reservoir area leads to drastic fluctuation of pollutant concentration.As the flood process progresses,the change curves of BOD and DO concentration are similar.Pollutant concentration drops rapidly at the initial stage of the flood,and when it drops to a certain value,the descending slope suddenly slows down until the end of the process.The change curves of NH₄ and PO₄ concentrations are similar.At the early stage of the flood,the concentrations at three points show an upward trend.As the point is further away from the storage location,the concentration increases faster and longer,and it rapidly decreases after rising to the highest point.The change curve of NO₃ concentration is special.It shows a transient stable trend when the flood comes,and then increases abruptly to the maximum value of 2.5 mg/L and fluctuates up and down around it.The migration of pollutants in the reservoir area under the action of flood will change with the flood process.…”

Immersion and Invariance Adaptive Control for Spacecraft Pose Tracking via Dual Quaternions by Xiaoping Shi, Xuan Peng, Yupeng Gong

“…This paper addresses the simultaneous attitude and position tracking of a target spacecraft in the presence of general unknown bounded disturbances in the framework of dual quaternions, which provides a concise and integrated description of the coupled rotational and translational motions. By virtue of the newly introduced dual direction cosine matrix, the dimension of the dual quaternion-based relative motion dynamics written in vector/matrix form can be lowered to six. …”
