高陡度非球面磨削亚表面损伤深度规律

具有高陡度非球面特性的光学元件可以明显改善光学系统的空气动力学性能,从而提升和优化系统综合性能。磨削加工方法可以作为此类元件的前期加工工序,而磨削难免会造成零件的亚表面损伤,且在这种高陡度非球面磨削加工中磨削参数是实时变化的,造成整个工件亚表面损伤深度不一致。针对这种情况,建立亚表面损伤预测模型,并结合半球形砂轮磨削的特点,通过理论计算预测非球面磨削亚表面损伤深度分布规律。在此基础上,以热压多晶氟化镁平面为对象进行模拟参数实验,通过磁流变抛斑点法得到各组参数下亚表面损伤深度情况,结果显示损伤深度范围在12.79μm~20.96μm之间,且沿试件半径方向由内向外呈增大趋势,结果与预测模型相吻合。     

The Production and Deposition of the Guisborough Helmet

In September 1878 the British Museum received a donation of a folded metal plate which had been embossed and gilded. Restoration of the object revealed that the folded plate was in fact the outer casing of a Roman copper alloy cavalry sports type helmet which dates to the late second or third century AD. The story of what became known as the Guisborough helmet began 14 years earlier in what was then the North Riding of Yorkshire when workers employed by the Cleveland Railway Company discovered a ‘very curious plate of metal’ during road construction. It appears that the helmet was deliberately prepared for deposition and buried at a depth of c30 cm close to a stream. Examination by the authors suggests that this was a high value item that had been repaired many times. Experimental evidence suggests that the decoration alone required approximately 16 h to fashion.     

基于态势预测的无人机防相撞控制方法

针对无人机自主飞行过程中,受空中非协作移动目标威胁较大,且空中移动威胁存在高机动性的特点,提出一种预测移动威胁情况下的无人机防撞控制方法,该方法采用交互多模(IMM)算法预测移动威胁的运动状态,同时利用滚动时域控制(RHC)思想建立无人机运动控制模型,构造有约束目标函数,运用微分进化算法(DE)求解目标函数,获取最优控制量,输入控制模型,完成防撞机动控制。仿真结果表明,该方法可以有效解决空中多架航空器同时入侵的防撞问题。     

机动目标IMM三维并行滤波跟踪算法

由于复杂的空中目标机动,其三维方向的机动强度是不一致的,传统IMM算法存在模型匹配不准确的问题,提出一种机动目标IMM三维并行滤波的跟踪算法。算法以CV和修正的CS模型为子集,在3个坐标轴上分别根据目标机动的分量实际更新其模型概率,并行IMM滤波方法,尽量确保模型的适配性,提高滤波精度。仿真结果表明,该算法比传统IMM方法跟踪精度更高,对空中机动目标跟踪适应性更强。     

COSMIC 掩星反演的水汽廓线质量分析

利用2006—2012年北半球冬季低纬度地区(30°S~30°N)无线电探空站数据及全球大气成分和气候监测再分析数据对1000 h Pa~200 h Pa高度层的气象、电离层与气候星座观测系统全球定位系统掩星反演的比湿廓线进行了精度和可靠性验证。结果表明,水汽对气象、电离层与气候星座观测系统掩星反演影响较大,尤其在中、低对流层及热带地区等水汽含量比较大的地区,且气象、电离层与气候星座观测系统掩星数据在850 hpa以下可能并不太适用于评估其他数据。     

Many‐server loss models with non‐poisson time‐varying arrivals

This article proposes an approximation for the blocking probability in a many‐server loss model with a non‐Poisson time‐varying arrival process and flexible staffing (number of servers) and shows that it can be used to set staffing levels to stabilize the time‐varying blocking probability at a target level. Because the blocking probabilities necessarily change dramatically after each staffing change, we randomize the time of each staffing change about the planned time. We apply simulation to show that (i) the blocking probabilities cannot be stabilized without some form of randomization, (ii) the new staffing algorithm with randomiation can stabilize blocking probabilities at target levels and (iii) the required staffing can be quite different when the Poisson assumption is dropped. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

From Nationalism to Factionalism: Faultlines in the Naga Insurgency

Do ceasefires or peace talks create fragmentation in the insurgent groups? Rather than proposing claims that can offer predictions about armed groups behaviour under ceasefires or peace processes, the analysts tend to focus largely on the dynamics between state and non-state actor. The experts pay little attention to overtime changes in social and local political context which might contribute to propelling a rebel group towards fragmentation and factionalism. The present study intends to fill this gap by exploring the shifting role of public opinion and ethnic support for the peace talks to ascertain whether it can increase the likelihood of factionalism in rebel groups or not. This article applies this approach to the case of Naga National Movement (1947–2015) in India, and finds that the proposed variable appears to have increased the frequency of factionalism in the movement.     

基于小弹性模量法的空间飞网构型优化设计

飞网构型设计对提高空间飞网系统的展开抓捕性能具有重要意义。用小弹性模量分析方法对空间飞网构型优化设计问题进行了研究。以绳网中内力分布均衡性为优化目标,选取飞网抛射过程中最大受力时刻为研究工况,赋予绳索单元极小弹性模量,进行静力学计算,并以变形后的结果为初始条件进行迭代分析。优化结果表明,绳网中的内力分布随迭代步数的增加而更趋于均匀。在不改变绳网拓扑结构的前提下,本文所建立的优化设计方法为空间飞网构型优化设计提供了一种参考途径。

Initiating insurgencies abroad: French plans to ‘chouannise’ Britain and Ireland, 1793–1798

Secret French plans to launch guerrilla-style raids on the British Isles devised in the spring of 1796 were referred to as ‘chouanneries’. The name and concept behind these small-war operations were modelled on the irregular tactics used by the Chouan rebels in the Vendée, which the French state army had brutally quashed, but some wished to transfer into their institutional practice. Part of France's ongoing military strategy in the war against Britain, which included fomenting insurrection in Ireland, these irregular operations were to be manned partially by pardoned deserters and released convicts and prisoners of war. Of these, only Tate's brief invasion of Wales in 1797 was realised, but the surviving plans provide insightful historical lessons into an Anglophobic mindset shared by a small network of practitioners and policy deciders on the effectiveness of such shock and awe tactics. Largely motivated by the desire to take revenge for Britain's support of counter-revolutionaries in the Vendée, these plans could more aptly be referred to as counter-‘chouanneries’.
