The first method generalizes the Levy identification method from the integer order systems to the non-integer order systems. Then, the weighted iteration method is presented to overcome the shortcomings of the first method. Results show that the proposed methods have better performance compared with the integer order identification method. For the non-integer order systems, the proposed methods have the better fitting for the system frequency response. For the integer order system, if commensurate order scanning is applied, the proposed methods can also achieve the best integer order model which fits the system frequency response. At the same time, the proposed algorithms are more stable.展开更多

Systematic analyses of the dynamic responses were performed. First, the nonlinear damping coefficient was considered as a constant parameter with two types of compliance exponent, meanwhile, dynamic factors were adopted to depict the dynamic characteristics. Second, the bifurcation graphs were plotted, where the damping coefficient was obtained along with the impact velocity and coefficient of restitution. The results show that light and heavy load conditions have an effect on the responses when the compliance exponent is integer. On the contrary, when the compliance exponent is non-integer, the dynamic responses are slightly affected, namely the system is more stable than the former situation.展开更多

For each encoding stage, this approach involves minimizing a cost, which is a function of rate, distortion and a multiplier called Lambda. This paper proposes to improve the RDO process by applying two modifications. The first modification is to increase the ac- curacy of rate estimation, which is achieved by computing a non-integer number of bits for arithmetic coding of the syntax elements. This leads to a more accurate cost computation and therefore a better mode decision. The second modification is to search and adjust the value of Lambda based on the char- acteristics of each coding stage. For the encoder used, this paper proposes to search multiple values of Lambda for the intra-4x4 mode decision. Moreover, a simple shift in Lambda value is proposed for motion estimation. Each of these modi- fications offers a certain gain in RDO performance, and, when all are combined, an average bit-rate saving of up to 7.0% can be achieved for the H.264/AVC codec while the same concept is applicable to the H.265/HEVC codec as well. The extra added complexity is contained to a certain level, and is also adjustable according to the processing resources available.展开更多

The bases x = 1 and x = ∞ correspond to the alternating harmonic series and the usual harmonic series;we first consider other positive integral bases and further we consider positive real number bases with a unique way to make sense of adding a non-integral number of terms together. In both cases, we prove a remarkable result regarding the difference between the upper and lower convergent values of the series, and give some analysis of this behavior.展开更多

A notion of behavioural entropy and hysteresis is introduced as two different forms of compound measures. These measures provide clinically applicable complexity analysis of behavioural patterns yielding scalar characterisation of time-varying behaviours registered over an extended period of time. The behavioural data are obtained using body attached sensors providing non-invasive readings of heart rate, skin blood perfusion, blood oxygenation, skin temperature, movement and steps frequency. The results using compound measures of behavioural patterns of fifteen healthy individuals are presented. The application of the compound measures is shown to correlate with complexity analysis. The correlation is demonstrated using two healthy subjects compared against a control group. This indicates a possibility to use these measures in place of fractional dimensions to provide a finer characterisation of behavioural patterns observed using sensory data acquired over a long period of time.展开更多

In this study, the novel ultrasonic/persulfate/chlorite(US/S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)/ClO_(2)^(-)) oxidation process was developed for the effective removal of tpm CV in wastewater. The apparent non-integer kinetics( n around 1.20) of tpm CV degradation under different factors( R^(2)_(Adj) > 0.990) were investigated, respectively. Inhibiting effects of anions were greater than those of cations(except Fe(Ⅱ/Ⅲ)). The adding of micromolecule organic acids could regulate degradation towards positive direction. The double response surface methodology(RSM) was designed to optimize tpm CV removal process, and the acoustic-piezoelectric interaction was simulated to determine the propagation process of acoustic wave in the reactor. The possible degradation pathway was explored to mainly include carbonylation, carboxylation, and demethylation. The estimated effectivemean temperature at the bubble-water interface was calculated from 721 to 566 K after introducing the ClO_(2)^(-), however, the adsorption or partitioning capacity of tpm CV in the reactive zone was widened from 0.0218 to 0.0982. The proposed co-catalysis of US/S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)/ClO_(2)^(-)was based on the determined active species mainly including ClO_(2), SO_(4)·^(-), and ·OH. Compared with other US-based processes, the operating cost(3.97 $/m^(3)) of US/S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)/ClO_(2)^(-)with the EE/O value(16.8 k Wh/m^(3)) was relatively reduced.展开更多

By the estab- lishment of the loop equations with noises and drifts, we prove that all the components of the loop can affect its performance in- dex, and in which, RAFS long-term frequency stability is mainly determined by frequency multiplier, quantum system, and servo amplifier; the short-term one is mostly decided by VCXO. Owing to the elimination of the frequency synthesizer and its additive mixing unit, we can reduce phase noise and stray of the servo sys- tem, and it is favorable for miniaturizing the RAFS system. In addition, we adopt some targeted optimization measures to im- prove the frequency stability index. The good short-term fre- quency stability index is also validated by the test results.展开更多
