  • The environmental gradient analyses and the continum analyses were applied for the ordinationa of forest vegetation in Seonunsan area. In the soil moisture gradient, mesic to xeric, Zelkova serrata, Carpinus tschonoskii, Quercus aliena, Carpinus laxiflora, Quercus serrata, Quercus variabilis and Pinus densiflora type were arranged as a series of sequence along the gradient. In two dimensional analyses of soil moisture and organic matter gradients seven vegetation types mentioned above were also separated one another. Especially Carpinus tschonoskii in mesic-fertile sites adn Pinus densiflora in xeric-sterile were noticeable. The results of continum analyses were corresponded to those of environmental gradient analses for the forest vegetation.

  • In this paper, we develop a TMS320C31- 60 DSP board to generate spiral gradient waveforms for Spiral imaging, one of the ultra fast MRI methods. In Spiral imaging, accurate gradient waveforms are very important to acquire high quality image. For this purpose, sampling rate for generating the gradient waveforms is set twice as high as the data sampling rate. With the developed DSP board accurate gradient waveforms are obtained. Ultra fast MR image with the developed DSP board is currently under development.

  • Propagation characteristics of tribrachial flames have been studied numerically in a two-dimensional fuel/oxidizer mixing layer. A flame is initiated by imposing a high temperature ignition source. Subsequent propagation of a tribrachial flame is traced. The flow redirection effect at the leading edge of a tribrachial flame increases the propagation speed beyond the corresponding stoichiometric laminar burning velocity. The effect of mixture fraction gradient on the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame is analyzed in a mixing layer considering that mixture fraction gradient increases as a tribrachial flame propagates toward upstream. As the flame curvature at the leading edge increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient, the flow redirection effect becomes more pronounced on the flame propagation speed. As a result, the propagation speed of a tribrachial flame increases with decreasing mixture fraction gradient.

  • Effect of plasma power on PECVD process were investigated in this study. TiN and TiCN films were deposited on nitrided STD11 steel with 600W, 1,200W and 1,600W plasma power. As the plasma power was increased, the preferred orientation was reinforced from (200) to (111) and the hardness of films was improved. The low plasma power was, however, effective for improving of adhesion force of films. Regarding above properties, TiN and TiCN films were deposited by gradient plasma power. It was possible to get high hardness as well as adhesion force through gradient plasma power.

  • Let ($M^{2n+1}$, ${\phi}$, ${\xi}$, ${\eta}$, g) be a (k, ${\mu}$)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold with k < -1 which admits a gradient Ricci almost soliton (g, f, ${\lambda}$), where ${\lambda}$ is the soliton function and f is the potential function. In this paper, it is proved that ${\lambda}$ is a constant and this implies that $M^{2n+1}$ is locally isometric to a rigid gradient Ricci soliton ${\mathbb{H}}^{n+1}(-4){\times}{\mathbb{R}}^n$, and the soliton is expanding with ${\lambda}=-4n$. Moreover, if a three dimensional Kenmotsu manifold admits a gradient Ricci almost soliton, then either it is of constant sectional curvature -1 or the potential vector field is pointwise colinear with the Reeb vector field.

  • This paper proposes stochastic methods to find an approximate solution for the L2-Wasserstein least squares problem of Gaussian measures. The variable for the problem is in a set of positive definite matrices. The first proposed stochastic method is a type of classical stochastic gradient methods combined with projection and the second one is a type of variance reduced methods with projection. Their global convergence are analyzed by using the framework of proximal stochastic gradient methods. The convergence of the classical stochastic gradient method combined with projection is established by using diminishing learning rate rule in which the learning rate decreases as the epoch increases but that of the variance reduced method with projection can be established by using constant learning rate. The numerical results show that the present algorithms with a proper learning rate outperforms a gradient projection method.

  • The main purpose of the paper is to prove that if a compact Riemannian manifold admits a gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton such that the gradient Einstein potential is a non-trivial conformal vector field, then the manifold is isometric to the Euclidean sphere. We have showed that a Riemannian manifold satisfying gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton with convex Einstein potential possesses non-negative scalar curvature. We have also deduced a sufficient condition for a Riemannian manifold to be compact which satisfies almost ${\eta}$-Ricci soliton.

  • The object of the offering exposition is to study almost Ricci soliton and gradient almost Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifolds. At first, it is shown that if (g, V, λ) be an almost Ricci soliton on a 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold M, then it reduces to a Ricci soliton and the soliton is expanding for λ=-2. Besides these, in this section, we prove that if V is pointwise collinear with ξ, then V is a constant multiple of ξ and the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1. Moreover, it is proved that if a 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold admits gradient almost Ricci soliton under certain conditions then either the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1 or it reduces to a gradient Ricci soliton. Finally, we consider an example to justify some results of our paper.

  • Phase retrieval, recovering a signal from phaseless measurements, is generally considered to be an NP-hard problem. This paper adopts an amplitude-based nonconvex optimization cost function to develop a new stochastic gradient algorithm, named stochastic reweighted phase retrieval (SRPR). SRPR is a stochastic gradient iteration algorithm, which runs in two stages: First, we use a truncated sample stochastic variance reduction algorithm to initialize the objective function. The second stage is the gradient refinement stage, which uses continuous updating of the amplitude-based stochastic weighted gradient algorithm to improve the initial estimate. Because of the stochastic method, each iteration of the two stages of SRPR involves only one equation. Therefore, SRPR is simple, scalable, and fast. Compared with the state-of-the-art phase retrieval algorithm, simulation results show that SRPR has a faster convergence speed and fewer magnitude-only measurements required to reconstruct the signal, under the real- or complex- cases.

  • This article investigates the longitudinal vibration of a nanorod embedded in viscoelastic medium according to the nonlocal strain gradient theory. Viscoelastic medium is considered based on Kelvin-Voigt model. Governing partial differential equation is derived based on longitudinal equilibrium and analytical solution is obtained by adopting harmonic motion solution for the nanorod. Modal frequencies and corresponding damping ratios are presented to demonstrate the influences of nonlocal parameter, material length scale, elastic and damping parameters of the viscoelastic medium. It is observed that material length scale parameter is very influential on modal frequencies especially at lower values of nonlocal parameter whereas increase in length scale parameter has less effect at higher values of nonlocal parameter when the medium is purely elastic. Elastic stiffness and damping coefficient of the medium have considerable impacts on modal frequencies and damping ratios, and the highest impact of these parameters on frequency and damping ratio is seen in the first mode. Results calculated based on strain gradient theory are quite different from those calculated based on classical elasticity theory. Hence, nonlocal strain gradient theory including length scale parameter can be used to get more accurate estimations of frequency response of nanorods embedded in viscoelastic medium.
