分布式放大前传中继辅助多用户对等通信中的鲁棒波束成形

针对分布式放大前传中继辅助多用户对等通信系统研究了存在非理想信道状态信息(CSI)时的分布式中继网络(DRN)鲁棒波束成形设计问题。采用统计CSI误差模型,考虑了两种鲁棒优化问题:一是从公平性的角度出发在DRN总发送功率约束下实现多个目的节点间的信干噪比(SINR)平衡;另一是从有效性的角度出发在保证各个目的节点服务质量需求(SINR大于预设门限)约束下最小化DRN总发送功率。对问题的分析和建模表明,在多用户情况下,这两个问题都是难以求解的优化问题。通过引入半定松弛(SDR)思想,将上述两种优化问题转化为可利用内点法有效求解的半定规划(SDP)问题。最后通过仿真验证了所提设计的鲁棒性能。

Multinational counterinsurgency: the Western intervention in the Boxer Rebellion 1900–1901

This article proposes a case study of the multinational counterinsurgency operations that occurred in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900–1, to provide a better understanding of the political and military dynamics specific to this type of mission. The study focuses primarily on the nature of the cooperation on the ground, the various national approaches to counterinsurgency, and the asymmetry of strategic approach between the Westerners and the Chinese. A discussion is also proposed, highlighting that combined counterinsurgency is not per se an obstacle to the unity of command, but that politically international coalitions create unique challenges to counterinsurgency operations.     

Controlled warfare: how directed-energy weapons will enable the US Military to fight effectively in an urban environment while minimizing collateral damage

US military operations are increasingly conducted within urban environments and with these operations come the risk of increasing the number of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. The use of non-lethal weaponry, such as directed-energy weapons, is one method for minimizing collateral damage. This method enables US military forces to effectively fight within urban environments through force escalation capabilities. Using a series of historical examples and future scenarios for urban warfare, this article highlights deficiencies affecting military capabilities in military urban operations, addresses the consequences of collateral damage, assesses the effectiveness of directed-energy weapons in military urban operations and encourages further funding, research and integration of non-lethal weaponry, such as directed-energy weapons, within the US military.     

光纤陀螺温度场分析及结构优化设计

从导热微分方程出发,建立了光纤陀螺温度场有限元模型,对模型进行了稳态温度场和瞬态温度场仿真分析。利用铂电阻测温电路对仿真结果进行实验验证,两者相对误差小于3%,证明仿真分析的结果是正确和有效的。针对光纤环温度场分布不均匀的情况,对光纤陀螺结构进行了优化设计。光纤陀螺在25℃环境中稳定工作时,稳态温度场分析结果表明,优化设计后光纤环最高与最低温度差为0.05℃,较优化前的0.19℃减小了73.7%;将陀螺置于60℃环境且处于非开机状态时,10min瞬态温度场分析结果表明,优化设计后光纤环最高与最低温度相差0.11℃,较优化前的0.19℃减小了42.1%。     

基于pLSA模型的人体动作识别

提出一种基于主题模型的人体动作识别方法。该方法首先提取时空兴趣点(STIP,space-time interest point)来描述人体运动,然后提出使用慢特征分析(SFA, slow feature analysis)算法计算兴趣点梯度信息不变量最优解,最后使用概率潜在语义分析 (pLSA, probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis) 模型识别人体动作。SFA计算的梯度不变量最优解可以表示时空兴趣点固有特征,能够无歧义反映时空兴趣点在空间及时间方向上的信息。同时,针对pLSA隐性主题正确性无法保证的缺点,算法将主题与动作标签“一对一”相关,通过监督方式得到主题,保证了训练中主题的正确性。该算法在KTH人体运动数据库和Weizmann人体动作数据库进行了训练与测试,动作识别结果正确率分别在91.50%和97%以上。

The United States has multiple nuclear detection initiatives to secure against a terrorist nuclear attack, including the Container Security Initiative, installation of radiation detectors at U.S. border points of entry, and establishment of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). The current nuclear detection system architecture falls short of being able to reliably catch fissile nuclear material in transit, specifically shielded Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) and Plutonium (Pu), both within the US and abroad. Checkpoints at border crossings can be circumvented, and no adequate system is under development to deter the transport of fissile materials. Using nuclear link-budget calculations, we show why a network relying primarily on handhelds, fixed detectors, and portals is not sufficient. We examine the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of a comprehensive national network incorporating in-vehicle detectors to reliably detect and deter the transport of fissile material inside the vehicle itself.

BUTTER,GUNS AND ICE‐CREAM THEORY AND EVIDENCE FROM SUB‐SAHARAN AFRICA

This paper is intended to complement the existing literature on civil wars. First, it presents a simple theoretical model of conflict that defines a two‐sector economy. In a contested sector, two agents struggle to appropriate the maximum possible fraction of a contestable output. In an uncontested sector, they hold secure property rights over the production of some goods. Agents split their resource endowment between ‘butter’, ‘guns’ and ‘ice‐cream’. Following the theoretical insights the empirical analysis focuses on the relationship between civil wars and different sectors of the economy. In particular, a panel probit specification shows that the incidence of a civil war decreases in the size of manufacturing sector.
