Depth Design for Rectangular Stilling Well with Oblique Water Intake by XIE Hongying, QIU Yong, ZHOU Xinyu, GE Yafei, CUN Shoujian

“…When the topography conditions cannot satisfy the needs of the length of the stilling pool during traditional bottom-flow energy dissipation,the energy can be dissipated by increasing the depth and width of the pool.To obtain suitable depths for a rectangular stilling well under different inflow conditions,we study the influence of well depth on the impact pressure borne by the bottom plate of the stilling well and the relationship between the Froude number of the incident submerged jet and well depth through hydraulic model tests.The research findings are as follows:The impact pressure and the variance of the fluctuating pressure in the impact zone both decrease as well depth increases,although their decreasing amplitudes gradually reduce; the suitable well depth the stilling well needs increases with the Froude number of the incident water flow.Relying on the test results,we also present a fitting formula for the water depth before the hydraulic jump of the incident water flow at the transect at the end of the discharge chute and the suitable depth for the stilling well.The proposed formula is expected to provide a reference for engineering design.…”

Impact and compensation of sample clock offset in I-CFDMA uplink by Dan DING, Nai-ping CHENG, Yu-rong LIAO

“…To achieve the sample clock synchronization in the interleaved code and frequency division multiple access(I-CFDMA)uplink,the I-CFDMA uplink model was established,and the disturbance of the sample clock offset(SCO)on the system model was discussed,in addition,the signal time shift,phase rotation,multi-user interference(MUI)and inter-carrier interference(ICI)caused by SCO were analyzed quantitatively.On this basis,a compensation method of multi-user SCO was proposed.For one thing,the relevant metric function was modified considering the SCO of each user; for another thing,a multi-user detection(MUD)algorithm based on harmony search was proposed.This algorithm has a higher efficiency than the commonly-used genetic algorithm(GA),as well as a performance approximate to that of optimal detection without SCO but with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <mn>64</mn></mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> computational burden.The computer simulation results validate the conclusions obtained.…”

“…Non-local similarity prior has been widely paid attention to efficiently improve image recovery quality.To fur-ther improve the recovered image quality for compressive sensing (CS),an image compressive sensing recovery method based on reweighted structure group sparse representation (WSGSR) was proposed.<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msub> <mi mathvariant="script">l</mi> <mn>1</mn> </msub> </math></inline-formula>-norm of WSGSR of image non-local similar patch group was used as a regularization term to optimize reconstruction,which achieved well reserving image high-frequency detail with less loss of image low-frequency component,and thus considerably improve the recon-structed image quality.A reweighted soft thresholding shrinkage method was deduced to achieve optimization solution,in which the significant coefficient with large magnitude value was shrunk by a small threshold,while the non-significant coefficient with small magnitude value was shrunk by a relative large threshold.Experimental results comparison demon-strate the effectiveness of the proposed method.…”
