A TVD Scheme for Incompressible Flow Coupled With Different Turbulence Modles on A Ground-Mounted Square-RIB Flow

A finite-difference Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) numerical simulation model for coupling the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, pressure-relative continuity equation and various k-ε turbulence models was developed to solve the incompressible flow based on the pseudo-compressibility method. The hyperbolicity of all these equations was studied and the discretization of the fully coupling equations with all the primal variables and source terms were made in this article. Numerical simulation for modeling the flow around a ground-mounted square rib was implemented and validated by comparing with the published wind tunnel experimental data. It is shown that such a numerical simulation method with a proper turbulence model has a very good accuracy to simulate the flow around a surface-mounted rib. It is concluded that the Renormalization Group (RNG) and Chen-Kim k-ε turbulence models have much better ability to predict the characteristics of the vortex structure and flow separation than the standard k-ε model.

Effect-Size Indices for Dichotomized Outcomes in Meta-Analysis.

It is very common to find meta-analyses in which some of the studies compare 2 groups on continuous dependent variables and others compare groups on dichotomized variables. Integrating all of them in a meta-analysis requires an effect-size index in the same metric that can be applied to both types of outcomes. In this article, the performance in terms of bias and sampling variance of 7 different effect-size indices for estimating the population standardized mean difference from a 2 × 2 table is examined by Monte Carlo simulation, assuming normal and nonnormal distributions. The results show good performance for 2 indices, one based on the probit transformation and the other based on the logistic distribution.

低渗透油气藏岩石物性测试方法研究

本文是在已研制的瞬时脉冲岩石物性测试装置与改进的渗透率常规稳流测试装置基础上，分别利用瞬时脉冲方法和稳流测试方法对大量的致密油藏岩们作了渗透率测试实验。相同测试条件下通过对两种方法的对比与统计分析，对低渗透油气藏岩石物性测试的实验方法给予了充分的论证。经大量实验研究表明：在模拟地层压力条件下，瞬时脉冲测试方法与常规稳流测试方法测得的渗透率相对误差极小，通常小于10％，证明这两种方法用于低渗透油气藏岩石物性测试具有较强的合理性。     

How Meta-Analysis Increases Statistical Power.

One of the most frequently cited reasons for conducting a meta-analysis is the increase in statistical power that it affords a reviewer. This article demonstrates that fixed-effects meta-analysis increases statistical power by reducing the standard error of the weighted average effect size (T?.) and, in so doing, shrinks the confidence interval around T?.. Small confidence intervals make it more likely for reviewers to detect nonzero population effects, thereby increasing statistical power. Smaller confidence intervals also represent increased precision of the estimated population effect size. Computational examples are provided for 3 effect-size indices: d (standardized mean difference), Pearson's r, and odds ratios. Random-effects meta-analyses also may show increased statistical power and a smaller standard error of the weighted average effect size. However, the authors demonstrate that increasing the number of studies in a random-effects meta-analysis does not always increase statistical power.

目的:了解甘草纤素对大鼠化学性肝损伤的保护作用。方法:按照卫生部《保健食品功能学评价程序和检验方法》进行。并比较四氯化碳染毒后第48h和第5d处死动物对各项指标的影响。结果:与肝损伤模型对照组比较,染毒后第48h,甘草纤素的二个剂量组血清ALT(丙氨酸氨基转移酶)水平均有显著降低(p<0.05),中、高剂量组血清AST(天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶)水平也有显著降低(p<0.05)。受试物的高剂量组可改善肝细胞的退行性变,且高剂量组可明显减轻CCl4引起的肝细胞坏死(p<0.05)。结论:适量甘草纤素对CCl4所致动物急性肝损伤具有保护作用。     

Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法

Turbo码采用修正的BAHL et al.算法实现解码.这是一种基于软值的概率迭代解码算法.本文在保持Turbo码迭代软解码算法优点的基础上,充分利用Turbo码编码器结构这一确知条件,结合代数解码原理,提出了一种Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法.该算法结合了概率解码和代数解码的优点,又有效避免了误差传播的发生,使Turbo码的纠错性能在原经典算法的基础上得到进一步的提高.该算法不仅为降低Turbo码的比特误码率和误差地板值提供了一种新的研究途径,而且因其更好的纠错性能而具有十分明显的实用价值.仿真实验结果显示,在比特误码率(BER)为10^-3~10^-4时,与经典Turbo码解码算法相比,采用该算法能获得0.1dB左右的编码增益.

Foveation-Based Error Resilience and Unequal Error Protection over Mobile Networks

By exploiting new human-machine interface techniques, such as visual eyetrackers, it should be possible to develop more efficient visual multimedia services associated with low bandwidth, dynamic channel adaptation and robust visual data transmission. In this paper, we introduce foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection techniques over highly error-prone mobile networks. Each frame is spatially divided into foveated and background layers according to perceptual importance. Perceptual importance is determined either through an eye tracker or by manually selecting a region of interest. We attempt to improve reconstructed visual quality by maintaining the high visual source throughput of the foveated layer using foveation-based error resilience and error correction using a combination of turbo codes and ARQ (automatic reQuest). In order to alleviate the degradation of visual quality, a foveation based bitstream partitioning is developed. In an effort to increase the source throughput of the foveated layer, we develop unequal delay-constrained ARQ (automatic reQuest) and rate compatible punctured turbo codes where the punctual pattern of RCPC (rate compatible punctured convolutional) codes in H.223 Annex C is used. In the simulation, the visual quality is significantly increased in the area of interest using foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection; (as much as 3 dB FPSNR (foveal peak signal to noise ratio) improvement) at 40% packet error rate. Over real-fading statistics measured in the downtown area of Austin, Texas, the visual quality is increased up to 1.5 dB in PSNR and 1.8 dB in FPSNR at a channel SNR of 5 dB.     

Robust Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting System with Error-Resilient Schemes

In this paper, error-resilient schemes are proposed to support robust video transmission for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting (DTTB). In particular, a temporal error concealment incorporated with a low-complexity block-matching is developed, achieving an effective reception of predictive pictures in harsh terrestrial environment. Special algorithms are also designed for isolated I-pictures. Moreover, combined with an intra/inter case prediction, an adaptive error concealment scheme is further contrived to fit for different error conditions. Extensive simulations have been conducted under various DTTB channel conditions, even with a very high packet error rate, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
