弹性高超声速飞行器自适应极点配置控制

本文针对乘波体外形的高超声速飞行器存在的结构/推进/气动强耦合特性,利用鲁棒极点配置方法设计了自适应控制器,实现了对高超声速飞行器的速度和高度指令跟踪控制。控制器采用了Proportional-Integral-Filter(PIF)结构,该结构的控制器不仅能够使系统具备良好的稳态特性而且能够对控制信号进行滤波平滑,从而能够有效地抑制高超声速飞行器的弹性振动对控制系统的影响。基于弹性高超声速飞行器模型CSUAL_GHV,分别采用自适应鲁棒极点配置控制方法和自适应非鲁棒极点配置控制方法进行了数值仿真。结果表明,与非鲁棒极点配置控制方法相比,采用自适应鲁棒极点配置控制方法的控制系统不仅使飞行器能够很快地跟踪上速度和高度指令,跟踪误差小于1%,而且高超声速飞行器的弹性振动也得到了有效地抑制。飞行器在整个飞行过程中的飞行攻角均处于±2°范围内,满足超燃冲压发动机的工作要求。     

Countering the effects of IED systems in Afghanistan: an integral approach

The current approach to countering the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan has met with limited success. The relative lack of success may be in part because the current approach is not holistic and discounts the social systems that foster the IEDs. Insurgents are using IEDs as a tool to further their strategic aims, but the coalition and to a lesser extent the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) are attacking the IEDs as if they are an end in and of themselves. Combining network disruption with information change maximizes the opportunities for mitigating the IED threat. More specifically, to mitigate the IED threat requires disrupting the social and economic systems associated with IEDs, and at the same time providing alternative economic opportunities and improving rule of law and governance at the local level. In other words, counter-IED (C-IED) must be Counter-Insurgency (COIN) centric to be successful. This paper reviews the current state of C-IED efforts, identifies five main problems with the current approach, and suggests changes to reduce or mitigate the IED threat in Afghanistan.     

基于话题模型的专家发现方法

专家发现是实体检索的一个重要方面。经典的专家发现模型建立在专家与词项的条件独立性假设基础上。在实际应用中该假设通常不成立,使得专家发现的效果不够理想。本文提出了一种基于话题模型的专家发现方法,该方法无需依赖候选专家与词项的条件独立性假设,且其可操作性比经典模型更强。同时,使用了一种排序截断技术,该技术极大地降低了模型的计算复杂度。使用CERC(CSIRO Enterprise Research Collection)数据集对模型的性能进行评估。实验结果表明,基于话题模型的专家发现方法在各个评价指标上均优于经典的专家发现模型,能够有效地提高专家发现的效能。     

网络中心与平台中心的声纳浮标探测概率建模

针对基于网络中心与平台中心的声纳浮标组网探测问题,在分析声纳浮标瞥概率模型的基础上,建立了两种方式下声纳浮标网的发现概率计算模型,给出了评价声纳浮标网探测效能指标.最后以声纳浮标拦截阵探测为例,对基于网络中心和基于平台中心的声纳浮标网探测效能进行分析,仿真了声纳浮标布设数量与布设间距对探测效能的影响.结果表明:当声纳浮标布设数量超过一定值时,继续增加并不能使网络中心的探测效能显著增加;与平台中心探测相比,声纳浮标瞥概率为Fermi模型时,网络中心探测的优势并不显著.

Nonparametric bayesian lifetime data analysis using dirichlet process lognormal mixture model

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian lifetime data analysis method using the Dirichlet process mixture model with a lognormal kernel. A simulation‐based algorithm that implements the Gibbs sampling is developed to fit the Dirichlet process lognormal mixture (DPLNM) model using rightly censored failure time data. Five examples are used to illustrate the proposed method, and the DPLNM model is compared to the Dirichlet process Weibull mixture (DPWM) model. Results indicate that the DPLNM model is capable of estimating different lifetime distributions. The DPLNM model outperforms the DPWM model in all the examples, and the DPLNM model shows promising potential to be applied to analyze failure time data when an appropriate parametric model for the data cannot be specified. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Why did Sudan Lose a small war in Southern Sudan?

ABSTRACT

When on the wrong end of an asymmetry in the projection of hard power, weaker sides countenance the grim arithmetic of avoiding direct and massed confrontations. Invariably, insurgents have over the ages tended to employ indirect tactical methods to render their stronger opponents ineffective. Ultimately – interest asymmetry, regime type, asymmetries of strategy, and external intervention – combine in a complex interplay and pattern, to militate against a strong side. In Sudan, these factors interacted throughout the civil wars to produce regional autonomy and finally an independent South Sudan in 2011. Similar strategic logic had confronted many large African states battling insurgencies in Ethiopia, Angola, Nigeria, Zaire, and apartheid-era South Africa. Oftentimes, weakening public resolve has caused these governments to accommodate, capitulate or withdraw even if they try not to blink. Notwithstanding the regime type, it can be concluded that the majority of strong actors are prone to fail in a protracted, asymmetric conflict. Hence, the notion of linking victory in counterinsurgency to the degree of openness (democratic polyarchies); or closeness (totalitarianism) – is still valid but highly contestable in the case of Africa’s large dysfunctional states.
