Wavelet Analysis of Space Solar Telescope Images

The scientific satellite SST (Space Solar Telescope) is an important research project strongly supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Every day, SST acquires 50 GB of data (after processing) but only 10GB can be transmitted to the ground because of limited time of satellite passage and limited channel volume. Therefore, the data must be compressed before transmission. Wavelets analysis is a new technique developed over the last 10 years, with great potential of application. We start with a brief introduction to the essential principles of wavelet analysis, and then describe the main idea of embedded zerotree wavelet coding, used for compressing the SST images. The results show that this coding is adequate for the job.     

Loran—C和GPS国际时间比对的长期结果比较

根据1990－1994年上海天台（SO）和世界上一些时间中心（国际计量局（BIPM）时间部、美国海军天台（USNO））的时间公报公布的数据，对两种时间传递技术（Loran-C和GPS）确定的国际时间同步的长期结果进行了比较分析。SO时间实验室得到如下一些结果：1、1990－1992年，由Loran-C时间传递技术确定的结果表明：系统差约为600ns，不确定度约为90ns(1σ），准确度估计优于1μs。2、1993－1994年，由GPS时间传递技术确定的结果表明：系统差优于30ns，不确定度约为15ns(1σ），准确度估计优于100ns。这些比较结果充分说明了GPS时间传递技术在国际高水平时间同步的中必须有广泛的应用。     

Sequences in the Hardness Ratio-Peak Energy Plane of Gamma-Ray Bursts

The narrowness of the distribution of the peak energy of the vFv spectrum of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the unification of GRB populations are great puzzles yet to be solved. We investigate the two puzzles based on the global spectral behaviors of different GRB populations, the long GRBs, the short GRBs, and the X-ray flashes (XRFs), in the HR - Ep plane (HR the spectral hardness ratio) with BATSE and HETE-2 observations. It is found that the long GRBs and the XRFs observed by HETE-2 seem to follow the same sequence in the HR-Ep plane, with the XRFs at the low end of this sequence. We fit the sequence by a universal Band function, and find that this sequence is mainly defined by the low energy index α, and is insensitive to the high energy index,β. With fixed β=-5, a best fit is given by α=-1.00 with X^2min/dof=2.2. The long and short GRBs observed by BATSE follow significantly different sequences in the HR-Ep plane, with most of the short GRBs having a larger hardness ratio than the long GRBs at a given Ep. For the long GRBs a best-fit yields α=-0.30 and β=-2.05. For the short GRBs, a best fit gives α=-0.60 with x^2min=1.1 (withβfixed at-2.0 because it is numerically unstable). The α value for the short GRBs is significantly greater than that for the long GRBs. These results indicate that the global spectral behaviors of the long GRB sample and the XRF sample are similar, while that of the short GRBs is different. The short GRBs seem to be a unique subclass of GRBs, and they are not the higher energy extension of the long GRBs.     

Technique for Controlling Spread of Limnotic Oncomelania

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease mostly found in areas along the Changjiang River of China. The disease is spread solely through an intermediary named oncomelania, so its spread of schistosomiasis can be controlled by properly designing water intakes which prevent oncomelania from entering farming land or residential areas. This paper reports a successful design process and a new oncomelania-free intake device. The design of the new intake is based on a sound research program in which extensive experimental studies were carried out to gain knowledge of oncomelania eco-hydraulic behavior and detailed flow field information through CFD simulation.

超低频电磁探测信号能量的计算及其地质应用

被动式超低频电磁探测技术是一种有效的探测地下地质体和资源的手段,但采用现有的处理方法得到的探测曲线较容易受到各种噪声的干扰,影响了对所获得的探测曲线的解释。笔者将信号能量引入到超低频电磁探测信号的处理中。首先根据信号能量计算原理,计算不同深度的超低频探测信号的能量值．获取能量曲线。同时,根据具体应用目的,分析其曲线特征,并将信号能量曲线与现有的信号曲线,如最大值曲线、最小值曲线等进行对比分析。结果表明,与现有方法相比,笔者所提出的信号能量曲线方法能更准确地反映地下岩层特征,有利于曲线的地质解译。     

水库库岸滑坡涌浪的传播与爬高研究

基于流体力学明渠非恒定流的连续性方程、运动方程和沿程水头损失理论,把滑坡涌浪衰减过程分为急剧衰减和缓慢衰减两个阶段来考虑,并认为急剧衰减阶段的涌浪的衰减符合指数衰减规律,缓慢衰减阶段符合明槽水流的沿程水头损失规律,结合初始涌浪高度对涌浪沿岸的传播高度及爬坡高度进行了计算。以新滩滑坡为例对涌浪的传播及爬坡高度进行了计算,得出了滑坡涌浪衰减先快后慢以及传播3 km时的涌浪高度只有初始涌浪高度的30 %以及传播10 km时涌浪高度只有初始涌浪高度的13 %的规律。

A New Approach to High-Order Boussinesq-Type Equations with Ambient Currents

A new approach to high-order Boussinesq-type equations with ambient currents is presented. The current velocity is assumed to be uniform over depth and of the same magnitude as the shallow water wave celerity. The wave velocity field is expressed in terms of the horizontal and vertical wave velocity components at an arbitrary water depth level. Linear operators are introduced to improve the accuracy of the kinematic condition at the sea bottom. The dynamic and kinematic conditions at the free surface are expressed in terms of wave velocity variables defined directly on the free surface. The new equations provide high accuracy of linear properties as well as nonlinear properties from shallow to deep water, and extend the applicable range of relative water depth in the case of opposing currents.
