一种基于压缩Fisher向量的目标检索方法

当前,视觉词典法(Bo VW,Bag of Visual Words)是解决目标检索问题的主要方法,但传统的Bo VW方法具有词典生成时间效率低、检索内存消耗大等问题。针对这些问题,提出了基于压缩Fisher向量的目标检索方法,该方法首先将Fisher核机制用于目标检索,它能自动降低目标图像背景带来的不利影响,然后,采用位置敏感哈希(LSH,Locality Sensitive Hashing)对Fisher向量进行压缩编码以降低计算复杂度和内存开销,使之适用于大规模数据库。实验结果表明,新方法只用几百比特就能表征一幅图像内容,对大规模目标检索有很好的适用性,且较之当前主流的压缩视觉词典法具有更高的准确率。     

一种强干扰环境下的相干弱目标DOA估计算法

提出了一种强干扰环境下相干弱信号的DOA估计算法。该算法通过修正的Toeplitz矩阵实现了对相干弱信号的解相干,然后将强干扰信号对应的特征矢量从信号子空间中剔除,最后利用MUSIC算法对弱信号进行DOA估计。所提算法不需要预知强干扰信号方位信息,对非平稳噪声有较好的抑制性能。此外,相对JJM算法,该算法具有更高的估计精度和正确概率,对强干扰信源具有更好的抑制性能。

针对目前对多波束相控阵天线角跟踪性能测试研究较少的问题,首先分析了多波束相控阵天线的单脉冲和差测角方法,并对波束滑动、波束穿越及信号频率变化对角跟踪性能的影响进行了仿真分析。类比传统的雷达精度校飞试验,提出了基于飞艇的角跟踪性能测试方法,对角跟踪精度及误差范围进行测试,并利用STK软件实现了可视化。仿真分析表明,该方法可以实现对多波束相控阵天线角跟踪性能的评定并具有较高的工程应用价值。     

地下储油复杂组合空间油气扩散蔓延三维数值模拟

针对地下储油复杂组合空间,采用大涡模拟的方法构建了油气扩散蔓延三维数值模拟模型,完成了油气扩散蔓延区域的空间离散和三维数值模拟求解优化,并进行了数值计算与分析。结果表明,在地下复杂组合受限空间油料泄漏后,罐室内的油气填充顺序为由边缘到出口、由底部到上部,油气不能达到100%的充满状态,罐室拱形顶部油气体积分数低于其爆炸下限的20%;罐室内油气的产生和蔓延十分迅速,从泄漏至到达罐室口仅需10 s,进入坑道仅需1 min;油气在流出罐室进入坑道后,具有迅速向四周扩散蔓延,流向一切可能注入的空间的特性。研究结果为地下储油工程的施工建设、安全管理、危险源监控等提供了有益参考。

White hull or white elephant? Soft power and the Chinese hospital ship,the Peace Ark

Although soft power is now seen as an indispensable foreign policy tool, its efficacy has rarely been put to a rigorous empirical test. Using data from HARMONIOUS MISSIONs 2010, 2011 and 2013, this article seeks to examine the degree to which the soft power engagement missions of the Chinese hospital ship, the Peace Ark, has advanced Chinese interests. Although any conclusions drawn must be considered preliminary, as so little time has passed between the ship's visits and the current analysis, this research indicates that these missions’ impact on advancing Chinese interests was at best limited. Although observations from a single set of cases are unlikely to settle the debate between soft power advocates and detractors, it is hoped that this research will serve as a catalyst to further empirically based research on this topic.     

Sexual and gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Commitment by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to addressing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the country is reflected in a number of international commitments and national strategies. This article traces the (slow) progress in addressing some of the most important issues relating to SGBV to which the government has committed itself. It argues that unless the underlying gender norms and unequal power relations that form the basis of gender violence, discrimination and inequality in Congolese society are addressed, SGBV will persist.     

Musket,Rank and File for Foot Guards,Lovell’s Pattern of 1838. Ne’er a Shot Fired in Anger?

The Pattern 1838 Musket was initially designed for the rank and file of the British army, it was instead issued to the elite Foot Guards. With arguably the lowest survival rate of any 19th Century British military firearm it is one of the rarest muskets to encounter today. This is its story …
