Stress waves in laterally loaded piles

The behaviour of single vertical piles subjected to lateral loading at the pile head was analysed. Based on the assumption of beam on elastic foundation, the analysis was made by using the method of direct analysis which is a numerical approach making direct use of governing physical laws without explicitly utilizing the differential equation of vibration. The analysis provides short-time pile response to pulse loadings. These results indicate, among others, that an interaction between the dilatation and shear waves results in a stress discontinuity of considerable magnitude which may deserve special attention in pile design.     

Transfeer of organic pollutants during sewage-seawater mixing

The transfer processes of organic pollutants during sewage-seawater mixing were simulated in three different mixing systems. The release rate of organic matter from sewage particles to seawater was found to be about 0.02–0.04 d⁻¹. The release processes can be simulated by an exchange-equilibrium kinetic model. Degradation of COD was observed in all three mixing systems and can be described by a first order kinetic equation. The degradation rate constantk ranged between 0.04 and 0.07 d⁻¹. These results have provided important parameters for estimation of environmental capacity.

On the hawking evaporation of Dirac particles in Kerr-Newman spacetime

We have obtained a solution of the Dirac equation near the horizon of a Kerr-Newman black hole and compared it with the solution of the Klein-Gordon equation. We first generalized the work of LIU Liao and XU Dian-yan for a quasi-extreme Kerr black hole to a quasi-extreme Kerr-Newman black hole, then further generalized to a general Kerr-Newman black hole, and thereby verified that the Dirac particles emitted by a general Kerr-Newman black hole do have a black-body energy spectrum.

Incorporation of GPS and IP camera for people tracking

Using the global positioning system (GPS) for people tracking continues to get easier. A person can transmit his/her GPS location from the carried mobile devices. The location is usually displayed as a dot on a digital map. However, a dot on the map is insufficient to reveal the person’s actual situation, e.g., an accident being happening. If the GPS is incorporated with an IP (Internet Protocol) camera, the camera image is critical in revealing the person’s actual situation and to improve the above-mentioned insufficient information. We present an approach to facilitate such incorporation. The approach consists of three phases: locating, tracking and monitoring collision. When the GPS coordinates of a person are within the field-of-view (FOV) of a camera, the approach enters the locating phase. The GPS coordinates are transformed to specify a candidate area (CA) in the image. The update of GPS coordinates is used to filter those moving objects within the CA until only one remains. After the person is located, he is being tracked using the shortest Euclidean distance method to find the most likely object in the next image. If the person collides with other objects while being tracked, a template matching technique, the sum of absolute difference (SAD), is used to locate the person in the collision area. The tracking is done after the person leaves the FOV of the camera. In the experimental studies, the tracking of one to three persons was performed using the implemented prototype. The average locating error of the tracking phase is only 5 pixels. The highest and average tracking success rates are 95.9% and 90.6%, respectively. These results show that the proposed approach is accurate and feasible for people tracking by incorporating GPS and IP cameras.     

一种基于分割的机载LiDAR点云数据滤波

针对当前滤波算法在处理地形不连续区域或存在复杂建筑物区域时容易过分＂腐蚀＂地形并难以去除一些低矮植被的不足,提出了一种基于分割的机载LiDAR点云滤波算法。首先,对原始点云基于地表连续性进行分割;然后,在移除点数目较小的粗差点集之后采用对分割点集建立缓冲区的方法,区分地面和非地面点集;在较大地物经过迭代分割基本移除之后,使用约束平面的方法移除高度较小的地表附着物以实现滤波。实验结果表明,与经典滤波算法相比,该算法提高了地面点的分类精度,在滤除地物信息的同时能有效地保留地形特征。     

山岳旅游资源管理模型研究——以张家界国家森林公园为例

以张家界国家森林公园为研究对象,从管理学、地理学、经济学的角度提出"四元归一"(即保护、开发、保障、效益评价合一)的山岳旅游资源管理的理论模型,其核心是旅游资源的最优管理;以该模型为基础,提出山岳旅游资源的"四元归一"管理指数,从山岳旅游资源保护、开发、效益评价、保障4个维度分别选取指标,以此衡量现有山岳旅游资源的管理状况和优劣;将其与旅游地生命周期理论相结合,提出旅游资源管理与开发判定坐标,依据景区资源管理现状将景区分为四大类:发育型、暴发户型、成熟型和危险型,以"四元归一"管理模型为理论依据,围绕保护与开发的矛盾,对4类景区分别提出建设性意见。最后以张家界地文资源为例构建旅游资源的二级管理模型,为我国山岳旅游资源及其他资源类型的有效管理提供借鉴与参考。
