Hydraulic Transient Study of Mainstream Tunnel System and Control System
No full textNumerical studies of hydraulic transients for the TARP Phase I system
were conducted in 1988 and 1992. These studies revealed that due to
storage and/or conveyance limitations of the TARP Phase I Mainstream
system using the Keifer/Song maximum hydrograph, inflow must be
substantially reduced to avoid geysering problems induced by hydraulic
transients. In order to improve the hydraulic transient condition, TARP Phase
II has been proposed to add additional water storage and increase the
conveyance ability. A hydraulic transient study for the TARP Phase II system
was also conducted recently. However, before the TARP Phase II is
completed, a reasonable tunnel operation method for the current TARP Phase
I system must be sought to minimize the potential of the hydraulic transient
problems. This study is to investigate the extent and nature of hydraulic
transients in the current TARP Phase I Mainstream tunnel under the existing
flow control structures for different hydrographs.US Army Corps of EngineersHe, Jianming; Song, Charles C. S.; Liu, Ying; Cuiling, Gong. (1994).

Hydraulic Transient Study of Mainstream & Des Plaines TARP Phase II Systems
No full textNumerical studies of hydraulic transients for the TARP Phase I system
were conducted in 1988. and 1992. These studies revealed that due to
storage and/or conveyance limitation of the TARP Phase I Mainstream
system, inflow must be substantially reduced to avoid geysering problems
induced by hydraulic transients. Different inflow control solutions to different
cases of the TARP Phase I were suggested in the previous project reports.
TARP Phase II is designed to add additional water storage and increase the
conveyance ability. This study is to investigate the extent and nature of
hydraulic transients in Mainstream/Des Plaines TARP Phase II and to
evaluate its design performance using computer modeling.
The fully dynamic transient mixed flow mathematical model
(MXTRANS) developed at the University of Minnesota was used for this
study. To evaluate the hydraulic performance of the TARP Phase II System,
including the Phase I Mainstream tunnel, Phase II Relief tunnel, and Phase I
Des Plaines tunnel with or without four planned reservoir stages, four groups
of modeling configurations for the systems as listed below are being considered
Group A: Stage I Mainstream (Mainstream alone) Tunnel System
Group B: Stage II Mainstream (Mainstream. With Relief Tunnel) System
Group C: Des Plaines With or Without Mainstream System
Group D: Interconnected Des Plaines and Mainstream Systems (Mainstream with Relief Tunnel and Des Plaines Tunnel)Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater ChicagoSong, Charles C.

Research of the Measurement on Palmitic Acid in Edible Oils by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
No full textInternational audienceA method for determination of palmitic acid in edible oils by the near-infrared spectroscopy was addressed in this paper. 56 samples were collected in the experiment. In terms of concentration content gradient method, 44 samples were selected for modeling set and 12 for testing set. This paper described the utilization of PLS for establishing a quantitative analysis model for predicting the content of palmitic acid in edible oils by near-infrared spectroscopy. The result shows that the model has a high accuracy for predicting the palmitic acid content with vector normalization and first-derivative preprocessing spectra with its best main factorial number of 8.The determination coefficients (R2), root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and average bias are 99.59, 0.162, 0.306 and 0.148, respectively. The model used in the paper can be adopted for the measurement of palmitic acid in edible oils accurately
Analyzing the Population Density Pattern in China with a GIS-Automated Regionalization Method: Hu Line Revisited
No full textThe famous “Hu Line”, proposed by Hu Huanyong in 1935, divided China into two regions of comparable area sizes that drastically differ in population: about 4% in the northwest part and 96% in the southeast. However, the Hu Line was proposed largely by visual examination of hand-made maps and arduous experiments of numerous configurations, and has been subject to criticism of lack of scientific rigor and accuracy. Furthermore, it has been over eight decades since the Hu Line was proposed. During the time, China sustained several major man-made and natural disasters (e.g., the World War II, the subsequent Civil War and the 1958-62 Great Famine), and also experienced some major government-sponsored migrations, economic growth and unprecedented urbanization. It is necessary to revisit the (in) stability of Hu Line. By using a GIS-automated regionalization method, termed REDCAP (Regionalization with Dynamically Constrained Agglomerative Clustering and Partitioning), this study re-visits the Hu Line in three aspects. First, by reconstructing the demarcation line based on the latest census of 2010 county-level population by REDCAP, this study largely validates and refines the classic Hu Line. Secondly, this research also seeks to uncover the underlying physical environment factors that shape such a contrast by proposing a habitation environment suitability index (HESI) model. In the third part, this study examines the population density change and disparity change over time by using all the six censuses (1953, 1964, 1982, 1990, 2000, and 2010) since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This study advances the methodological rigor in defining the Hu Line, solidifies the inherent connection between physical environment and population settlement, and strengthens the findings by extending the analysis across time epochs

Online Human Action Detection Using Joint Classification-Regression Recurrent Neural Networks
No full textHuman action recognition from well-segmented 3D skeleton data has been intensively studied and has been attracting an increasing attention. Online action detection goes one step further and is more challenging, which identifies the action type and localizes the action positions on the fly from the untrimmed stream data. In this paper, we study the problem of online action detection from streaming skeleton data. We propose a multi-task end-to-end Joint Classification-Regression Recurrent Neural Network to better explore the action type and temporal localization information. By employing a joint classification and regression optimization objective, this network is capable of automatically localizing the start and end points of actions more accurately. Specifically, by leveraging the merits of the deep Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) subnetwork, the proposed model automatically captures the complex long-range temporal dynamics, which naturally avoids the typical sliding window design and thus ensures high computational efficiency. Furthermore, the sub-task of regression optimization provides the ability to forecast the action prior to its occurrence. To evaluate our proposed model, we build a large streaming video dataset with annotations. Experimental results on our dataset and the public G3D dataset both demonstrate very promising performance of our scheme.CPCI-S(ISTP)[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
Immunostaining Study on the Expression of NF-kappa B, ER, and PR in Ovarian Serous Carcinoma
No full textIn order to explore whether NF-kappa B activation correlates to the prognosis, chemoresistance, and sex hormone receptors status in ovarian serous carcinoma, we analyzed the expression of NF-kappa B, ER, and PR by immunohistochemistry in 72 cases of ovarian serous carcinoma, investigated the association among these markers, and evaluated their relations to clinicopathologic factors and prognosis. The positive rates were 88.9% for NF-kappa B cytoplasmic expression, 45.8% for NF-kappa B nuclear expression, 41.7% for ER, and 29.2% for PR. NF-kappa B nuclear expression was positively correlated with the 4th edition WHO grade (P = 0.045) and tumor stage (P = 0.001). NF-kappa B cytoplasmic expression was associated with preoperative serum CA125 level (P = 0.015) and ascites (P = 0.042). Neither cytoplasmic nor nuclear staining of NF-kappa B showed any association with survival. PR expression was correlated with tumor stage (P = 0.023) and omental metastasis (P = 0.022). Omental metastasis occurred more frequently in ER-/PR- tumors (P = 0.009). No correlation between NF-kappa B expression and ER, PR expression was observed. In conclusion, in ovarian serous carcinoma, NF-kappa B nuclear expression correlated with the 4th edition WHO grade and PR was a favorable prognostic factor for ovarian serous carcinoma.National Natural Science Foundation of China [81472430]; National Key Scientific Instruments and Equipment Development Program of China [2013YQ03065108]SCI(E)PubMedARTICLE158-633
