A critical look at the U.S. deceased‐donor organ procurement and utilization system

The U.S. system for procuring and utilizing deceased‐donor organs for transplantation has been studied and written about in many articles. The purpose of this paper is to examine the interactions between the elements that comprise this system, and point out improvement opportunities that may be affected through operations research/management techniques. The authors demonstrate the need for developing data‐driven and analytic tools. In fact, data is used to generate hypotheses and support claims throughout the paper. The paper also points out the need to fully leverage data that is available to researchers, and to seek data that is currently not deposited in a centralized archive.     

通气空泡与超音速尾喷流耦合作用实验研究

基于开放式水洞,构建了通气空泡与超音速尾喷流耦合作用实验系统。设计了四种可变长度实验模型,重点研究射流与通气空泡相对位置对空泡射流耦合作用机理的影响。针对不同外形实验模型,改变通气流量和射流流量,获得了不同工况下空泡界面瞬态演化规律。通过实验,观察到射流完全补气、射流部分泄气、射流完全泄气三种不同耦合作用模式。进一步结合实验数据和Paryshev理论分析,建立了不同模式下临界转变条件和空泡尺度计算模型。当≤0.1 时,空泡长度可用经典空泡经验公式来描述;当0.1<<1.5 时,空泡长度分为模型长度和尾部空泡长度两部分,而尾部空泡长度只与无量纲动量比有关;当 ≥1.5时,空泡闭合在喷管出口,空泡长度与模型长度相等。     

Ricochet quantification using a multiple sensor approach

This study investigates the ricochet behaviour of three different small-arms projectile types using a novel ricochet measuring device.The results can be used to estimate the danger potential of ricochets on shooting ranges.A ricochet is the change of direction and velocity of a projectile after impacting an oblique surface.This impact produces strong vibrations on a rigid plate.During this impact,flexural waves travel radially outwards from the point of impact.These waves are used to determine the properties of the impactor with accelerometers situated on the target surface.With the use of two measurement plates,one can produce a ricochet and detect the velocity at the same time.Accelerometers are suitable for accurate momentum measurements of single impacts.However,depending upon strike velocity and the impact angle,a ricochet can separate in multiple fragments after being deflected.From the operational safety perspective,these fragments need to be detected,as well.The approach of a coupled sensor concept was chosen to solve this problem.Thermographic sensors were additionally used to visualise the heat which is produced after pene-trating a rubber layer pasted in front of the steel target plate.With this approach one was able to detect the position of impact.The investigations showed that the measurement system performance is better with a multiple sensor design,which includes accelerometers for the velocity,impact strength and partly the position measurement,while the thermographic sensor was used for the position measurement and partly the momentum measurement.The investigated ammunition showed plausible fragmentation behaviour,and the results can already be used to estimate the danger potential of different ammunition types.Frangible projectiles fragment to small particles already after being deflected under a small angle.However,Full Metal Jacket projectiles with or without a steel core do not fragment under angles which are less than 5°.The objective of the paper is to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the complex ricochet me-chanics of small projectiles using standard accelerometers with the adequate signal processing approach.This measuring system is supported by an off the shelf thermographic camera.     

A novel launch dynamics measurement system for multiple launch rocket system and comparative analysis with numerical simulations

In this paper,a novel launch dynamics measurement system based on the photoelectric sensor pair is built.The actual muzzle time(i.e.a time duration that originates from the initial movement to the rocket's departure from the muzzle)and the muzzle velocity are measured.Compared with the classical methods,the actual muzzle time is obtained by eliminating the ignition delay.The comparative analysis method is proposed with numerical simulations established by the transfer matrix method for multibody systems.The experiment results indicate that the proposed measurement system can effectively measure the actual muzzle time and reduce the error of classical methods,which match well with the simulation results showing the launch dynamics model is reliable and helpful for further analysis and design of the MLRS.

压缩感知理论与光学压缩成像系统

压缩感知理论为提升信息获取能力提供了新的思路,它表明当被探测信号具有稀疏性时,则获取信号所必需的测量数据与其稀疏度K量级相当,而远小于信号的维数N(Shannon采样定理所要求的采样数)。基于压缩感知理论的成像技术(压缩成像)则将感知、压缩和数据处理三个过程完美地结合在一起,避免了传统成像系统"先采样再压缩"方式带来的传感器和计算资源浪费。本文从稀疏性、投影测量矩阵的设计与可重构条件、压缩感知重构算法三个方面概述了压缩感知理论及进展,并以光学成像为背景,详细阐述了最近提出的几类光学压缩成像系统,最后,探讨了压缩感知及压缩成像方面目前所面临的一些挑战性问题。
