Abstract Inner wall temperature of ladle is closely related to the quality of steelmaking and control of steel-making tapping temperature. This article adopts a rotating platform to drive an infrared temperature sensor and a laser sensor to scan the temperature field distribution of the ladle inner wall at the hot repair station, where the scanning laser sensor obtains coordinates of each measured point. Because of measuring errors of infrared thermal radiation caused by emissivity uncertainty of the ladle inner wall surface, this article proposes a method for temperature measurement based on Monte Carlo model for effective emissivity correction of each measured point. In the model, we consider the ladle and fire baffle as a cavity. By calculation of the model, the effect of distance from the fire baffle to the ladle and the material surface emissivity of the ladle inner wall on the effective emissivity of the cavity are obtained. After that, the effective emissivity of each measured point is determined. Then the scanning temperature of each measured point is corrected to real temperature. By field measuring test and verification contrast, the results show that: the maximum absolute error of the method in this article is 4.7℃, the minimum error is 0.6℃, and the average error is less than 2.8℃. The method in this article achieves high measurement accuracy and contributes to the control of metallurgical process based on temperature information.

In many Multimedia and DSP applications, the fixed-width multipliers are used to avoid infinite growth in the word size. Fixed-width multiplier produces an [Formula: see text]-bit product with two [Formula: see text]-bit inputs. This paper presents probabilistic estimation technique applied for the fixed-width radix-8 Booth multiplier for the generation of the compensation bias circuit. The probabilistic estimation circuit for the fixed-width radix-8 Booth multiplier is derived systematically from theoretical computation in preference to time-consuming exhaustive simulations. Results show that the radix-8 direct truncated multiplier reduces the maximum absolute error by 33%, the average error by 22% and the mean square error by 39% for a 12-bit multiplier compared with the radix-4 direct truncated multiplier. Results also demonstrate that, with the probabilistic estimation technique applied to the fixed-width radix-8 Booth multiplier, there is a reduction of 25% in the maximum absolute error, 13.4% reduction in the average error, and 25.13% reduction in the mean square error have been realized compared with the existing fixed-width radix-4 Booth multiplier with probabilistic estimation technique. Standard EDA design tools are used for simulations.

Because the received signal strength indication (RSSI) ranging technology has problems with line-of-sight and multipath effects in indoor environments, the actual received RSSI value is unstable. In order to reduce the influence of RSSI value volatility on ranging accuracy, according to the fluctuation characteristics of the signal itself, a combined filtering method of Gaussian, median and mean is proposed to process the collected RSSI values, and the least squares method is used to fit and optimize the ranging parameter. Experiments show that using the RSSI intensity value processed by the combined filtering method to establish a model to achieve ranging, the maximum absolute error is about 2 m, and the absolute average error is about 0.763 m. The accuracy of the ranging has been significantly improved, and the ranging model has been optimized.

Abstract. This study created a 13-year historical archive of operational flood forecasts issued by the Regional Flood Management and Mitigation Center (RFMMC) of the Mekong River Commission. The RFMMC issues 1- to 5-day daily deterministic river height forecasts for 22 locations throughout the wet season (June–October). When these forecasts reach near flood level, government agencies and the public are encouraged to take protective action against damages. When measured by standard skill scores, the forecasts perform exceptionally well (e.g., 1 day-ahead Nash–Sutcliffe > 0.99) although much of this apparent skill is due to the strong seasonal cycle and the narrow natural range of variability at certain locations. Five-day forecasts upstream of Phnom Penh typically have 0.8 m error standard deviation, whereas below Phnom Penh the error is typically 0.3 m. The coefficients of persistence for 1-day forecasts are typically 0.4–0.8 and 5-day forecasts are typically 0.1–0.7. RFMMC uses a series of benchmarks to define a metric of percentage satisfactory forecasts. As the benchmarks were derived based on the average error, certain locations and lead times consistently appear less satisfactory than others. Instead, different benchmarks were proposed and derived based on the 70th percentile of absolute error over the 13-year period. There are no obvious trends in the percentage of satisfactory forecasts from 2002 to 2012, regardless of the benchmark chosen. Finally, when evaluated from a categorical "crossing above/not-crossing above flood level" perspective, the forecasts have a moderate probability of detection (48% at 1 day ahead, 31% at 5 days ahead) and false alarm rate (13% at 1 day ahead, 74% at 5 days ahead).

AbstractA device for measuring the flow, duration and volume characteristics of human puffing behaviour when smoking cigarettes is described. Cigarettes are smoked through a holder comprising a measured pressure drop across a critical orifice. The holder also contains a Light Emitting Diode (LED) and photodetector that measures light obscuration in order to estimate nicotine-free dry particulate matter (NFDPM, “tar”) delivery. All data are recorded on a puff-by-puff basis and displayed in real time. These NFDPM estimates are known as optical “tar” (OT), and are derived from the calibration of the OT measurement versus gravimetric NFDPM yields of cigarettes under a range of smoking regimes. In a test study, puff volumes from 20-80 mL were recorded to ± 6.0% of a pre-set volume, with an absolute error of 4.7 mL for an 80 mL volume drawn on a lit cigarette, and an average error of less than 2.0 mL across the range 20-80 mL. The relationship between NFDPM and OT was linear (R2 = 0.99) and accurate to ± 1.3 mg per cigarette over the range 1-23 mg per cigarette. The device provides an alternative to the widely used part filter methodology for estimating mouth level exposure with an added benefit that no further laboratory smoking replication or analysis is required. When used in conjunction with the part filter methodology, the puffing behaviour recorded can explain anomalies in the data while providing a second independent estimate.

Abstract This study investigated the short-term spatial variability of an mangrove patch, located in the Pearl Bay in Guangxi, China. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery covering the period from March 2015 to October 2017 were used and the following models were developed: two annual ultra-high resolution spatial resolution digital orthophoto maps (DOMs), two digital elevation models (DEMs), two digital surface models (DSMs), two canopy height models (CHMs), and a canopy height difference model (d-CHM). Using these models, the spatial dynamics of the extent and canopy height of the patch were analyzed. The resolution of the DOMs was 0.1 m, with an average geometrical error of 0.17 m and a maximum error of 0.44 m. The resolutions of DEMs, DSMs, CHMs, d-CHM were all 1 m. The average elevation errors of CHM in 2015 and 2017 were 0.002 m and -0.001 m, respectively, with maximum absolute errors of 0.034 m and 0.030 m, respectively. The average elevation error of d-CHM was -0.003 m and the maximum absolute error was 0.036 m, and the data quality were rated as good. From 2015 to 2017, the area of the mangrove patch increased from 8.16 ha to 8.79 ha, with an average annual increase of 3.7%. Specifically, the areas of expansion, shrinkage, and maximum seaward expansion were 6356 m2, 19 m2, and 24 m, respectively. The driving factor for the variability was natural processes. Stand canopy height exhibited a particular trend of decrease from northwest to southeast (horizontal; parallel to the seawall) and from the land to the sea (vertically; perpendicular to the seawall). From 2015 to 2017, 88.2% of the patch area showed increased canopy height, with an average increase of 0.78 m and a maximum increase of 3.2 m. In contrast, 11.8% of the patch area showed decreased canopy height with a maximum decrease of 3.1 m. The main reason for the decrease in canopy height was the death of trees caused by serious insect plagues. On the other hand, the reason for the increase in height could be attributed to the natural growth of mangrove trees, but further studies are required to verify the cause. UAV remote sensing has an incomparable advantage over traditional methods in that it provides extremely detailed and highly accurate information for in-depth study of the spatial evolution of mangrove patches, which would significantly contribute towards the protection and management of mangroves.

A method is proposed to obtain heave motion information based on the Longuet-Higgins wave model. The Longuet-Higgins wave model which is closer to the sea wave is introduced. Based on it, random process of the noise is analyzed and the highpass filter is designed to reduce errors. Then it is the key point in this article that an adaptive algorithm is put forward because of the complexity of the waves. The algorithm adjusts the cutoff frequency to reduce the amplitude attenuation of the filter by analyzing the wave. For the same reason the comprehensive parameter of the phase compensation can be also obtained by the algorithm. Simulation measurement results show that under the rough sea situation the maximum value of absolute error is 0.4942 m according to the normal method, the method is 0.1170 m, and the average error ratio of the rough sea test reduces to 3.89% from 12.54%, which demonstrates that the adaptive filter is more effective in measuring heave movement. A variety of simulation cases show that the adaptive filter can also improve the precision of the heave motion under different sea situations.

The Law

Micum strength is an important indicator of quality of sinter; BP artificial neural network model is built to predict the strength of sinter drum. The neural network use the main factors that influence the sinter drum as input data, and output is Micum strength. Experiment results shows that the maximum absolute error between the Micum strength predicted by neural network and real value from the sinter plant is 0.3346, and the average absolute error is 0.1154. These prove that the prediction is accuracy. In addition, because of the "black box" characteristic of the neural network model, the neural network model can not give the law of how the various factors affect the micum strength of sinter ore, this paper also uses the model to analysis the law of how TFe, SiO2 content affect the micum strength. The results not only consist with the sintering theory, but also verify the validity of the model.
