Research on the anti-synchronization chaos system group ＆large scale distributed system security communication by Guang-ming SUN, Jin-jie HUANG, Qiao LIU

“…Chaotic system model about point group symmetry in the phase space was constructed,and the anti-synchronization problem of the chaotic system group was studied.Besides,a kind of chaotic system group anti-synchronization controller was proposed,and the anti-synchronization of the chaos system group was realized.Through experimental observation,the position of chaos system about the subsystem and the source system after the point symmetry transform changed in phase space.The phase space power trajectory,space topology and other original system presented symmetrical structure.By using the above research conclusions,a kind of carrier communication method of anti-synchronization chaos system group was put forward.It solved the increasingly urgent communication security issues of modern complex distributed and large scale communication system with many access signals and parallel transmission.In addition,with permanent magnet synchronous motor chaos model,simulation and validation were conducted.The experimental results show that the method has good application prospect,and is suitable for modern communication system.…”

A Topology Optimization Method based on Nastran Card Quickly Modifying Parameter by Chu Chaomei, Xi Chengjie, Tang Haichuan, Miao Guo

“…A topology optimization method based on Nastran card quickly modifying parameters is proposed to solve the problem of modifying parameters of the complex components in the process of topology optimization.In the process of the model modification,the load calculation results can be directly imported to the Nastran topology optimization file to replace parameters of the original one. In consequence,the parameters are quickly modified,the accuracy of parameter modification is increased and the process of the model modification is simplified. …”

Specific inferior and superior role portrayals in multi-racial television advertisements by De la Rey Van der Waldt

“…The results indicate important differences in the perception of these roles. Finally an original model of role perception is put forward. Van der Waldt (1988:49) stated that the diversity of approaches to the analysis of advertising has led to the discussion and application of Festinger's (1954) theory of social comparison, Grubb & Grathwohl's (1967) theory of self-concept related to product consumption, Sarbin & Allen's (1968) role theory and lastly Bandura's (1977) theory of social learning. …”

Outlier Detection Method of Dam Monitoring Data Based on Robust Estimation and Variable Separation by LIANG Huibin, ZHANG Han, ZHANG Linsong, CAO Yuxin, ZHOU Jingren

“…The original monitoring data of dams is the most important data to grasp the operation behavior of the dams,and the outliers in the data are the focus during the analysis.Outliers are divided into two categories.One category is caused by measurement errors and should be eliminated or supplemented to avoid affecting subsequent analysis.The other is caused by structural mutations and should be highly valued.At present,main outlier recognition methods in dam engineering are based on traditional mathematical statistics and do not consider the influence of structural anomalies,which results in low recognition accuracy.Therefore,based on an in-depth study of dam monitoring data and outlier characteristics,this paper first employs robust MM estimation to eliminate the normal influence of internal and external factors and then adopts the residual measured value to eliminate the stable abnormal influence by difference before and after.Finally,according to the minimum value method,outlier identification is conducted on the residual values.The application of the measured dam data proves that the proposed method can identify the measurement outliers more effectively and robustly,and avoid the interference of structural stability anomalies.…”
