一种基于阵列结构的4容错数据布局

保证数据可靠性是存储系统设计的一个关键问题。EEOD码是一类3容错的数据布局,不允许任意4个磁盘同时故障。但随着存储系统中存储介质增大,数据损失概率也越来越大,为了提高系统可靠性,需要高效易于实现的存储容错技术。因此,对EEOD码进行扩展,增加了2列冗余校验列,提出一种新4容错HD-EEOD(Horizontal Diagonal EEOD)码,能容许任意4个磁盘同时故障,并保留EEOD具有简单几何结构编译码特性。基于码的几何结构,给出快速纠4错译码算法,算法易于软硬件实现。并对码的空间利用率、编译码效率进行分析,趋近于容4错编码的最优值,具有很好的性能和应用前景。     

THE LOCATIONAL CONCENTRATION OF GROUP HOMES IN TORONTO1

This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the concentration of social service facilities within North American cities. The location quotient and the coefficient of localization are applied to data on Adult Services, Children's Services and psychiatric group homes (residential care facilities) in Metropolitan Toronto. Results demonstrate a high degree of localization in all three categories, particularly the psychiatric, and could be used in the formulation of placement policies to relieve certain areas of the inner city of the social and economic pressures created by group home concentration.     

环境同位素在水文地质和环境地质研究中的应用

氢和氧的稳定同位素作用为水起源的标记业已成为水文地质学和环境地质学的重要工具，被用来定量评价自然界的许多水文地质学和环境地质过程。但是，难点是标记的确定，14C作为时钟可用于测定地下水年龄。然而，放射性碳是一个难于掌握的工具。困难是确定补给水到达潜水面时14C的初始放射性。

Experimental study on multiple tuned mass dampers to reduce seismic responses of a three‐storey building structure

In this study, several mass dampers were designed and fabricated to suppress the seismic responses of a ¼‐scale three‐storey building structure. The dynamic properties of the dampers and structure were identified from free and forced vibration tests. The building structure with or without the dampers was, respectively, tested on a shake table under the white noise excitation, the scaled 1940 El Centro earthquake and the scaled 1952 Taft earthquake. The dampers were placed on the building floors using the sequential procedure developed by the authors in previous studies. Experimental results indicated that the multiple damper system is substantially superior to a single tuned mass damper in mitigating the floor accelerations even though the multiple dampers are sub‐optimal in terms of tuning frequency, damping and placement. These results validated the sequential procedure for placement of the multiple dampers. The structure was also analysed numerically based on the shake table excitation and the identified structure and damper parameters for all test cases. Numerical and experimental results are in good agreement, validating the dynamic properties identified. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

地图汉字注记的自动定位研究

注记是地图的重要组成部分，注记位置、方向选择恰当与否，与地图的易读性和使用价值有密切关系，注记速度也影响着地图的成图周期。可是注记效果不理想，注记速度慢却是计算机制图中的常见现象，即使是在计算机制图技术有了很大发展的今天，自动注记仍然没有得到很好解决。最近的研究表明，找到具有最佳效果的注记从时间上来讲是不可能的，因而自动注记算法都是希望在尽量短的时间内，得到尽可能好的注记效果。自动注记的主要难点在于自动定位。本文针对不同的地图要素，提出了基于回溯的自动定位算法，取得了较好的效果     

小规模地理场景中点要素三维注记优化配置算法

地理场景中点要素三维注记配置规则多为"遮挡则不显示"和"遮挡直接显示",该类规则的缺陷是注记信息丢失或存在大量遮挡,普适性不强,尤其不适用于小规模地理场景点要素三维注记配置。本文首先归纳了三维注记绘制的内容、位置及方法,并针对小规模地理场景点要素三维注记配置问题,以"信息不丢失、注记尽可能少的遮挡"为配置目标,配置规则为"遮挡后优化并显示"。算法以透视变换矩阵、逆透视变换矩阵及GRID算法为基础,以遗传算法为核心,以三维注记质量评价函数为遗传算法适应度评价函数,实现点要素三维注记的可行最优解求解。经多视角、多平台对照试验可知,本算法适用于多视角三维注记优化配置,具备普适性;与主流GIS平台(SuperMap Desktop、ArcScene)的三维注记配置效果作对比,本算法三维注记质量值分别相对提升144%、232%,符合配置目标。     

Optimal damper placement for building structures including surface ground amplification

A systematic method for optimal added damper placement in building structures is developed, taking into account the response amplification due to the surface ground. Non-linear amplification of the surface ground is described by an equivalent linear model. Hysteretic damping of the surface ground and radiational damping into the semi-infinite visco-elastic ground are included in the model. An original steepest direction search algorithm is applied to the interaction model. Closed-form expressions of the inverse of the coefficient matrix (tri-diagonal matrix) enable one to compute the transfer function and its derivative with respect to design variables very efficiently. It is shown that the ratio of the fundamental natural period of the structure to that of the surface ground is a key parameter for characterizing the optimal damper placement. Several examples for different soil conditions are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the present method.
