Circulant and multiblock circulant matrices have many important applications, and therefore their inverses are of considerable interest. A simple recursive algorithm is presented to compute the inverse of a multiblock circulant matrix. The algorithm only uses complex variables, roots of unity and normal matrix/vector operations.

Multiblock structured grids are, to a large extent, capable of filling up topologically complex flow domains in an efficient way. The proposed approach enables to use different flow models in each different block and the easy incorporation of different grid refinement strategies for different blocks. Furthermore, it may be expected that this multiblock structured approach will naturally lead to the parallel executions of calculations per block on different vector processors. In this paper, the hypercube + + structure is proposed for topological informations on multiblock grids and the B-spline volume for geometrical informations. Three samples of the-three dimensional results are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the present approach.

A multiblock grid generation has been developed to be reliably used for a Navier-Stokes simulation of the turbomachinery flow-fields A multiblock structure simplifies the creation of structured H-grids about complex turbomachinery geometries and facilitate the creation of a grid in the tip flow region. The numerical algorithm adopts the combination of the algebraic and elliptic method to create the internal grids efficiently and quickly. The grid refinement process is enhanced by developing strategies to utilized Bezier curves and splines along with weighted transfinite interpolation technique and by formulating the grid-imbedding method for the viscous boundary-layer meshes. For purposes of illustration, the grid generator is applied to the high turning turbine rotor blades. Two different types of computational grids are provided to be compared with respect to the grid adaptation to the flow simulations. Extension to three-dimensions was done to show the possibility of its application to the tip-flow simulations. The grid quality of the multiblock structure is good in the passages, with gloval orthogonality and adequate smoothness.

Multiblock copolymer was synthesized by the copolycondensation of oligo(L-lactic acid) prepared by thermal dehydration of L-lactic acid, Pluronic$\^$TM/(PN) and dodecanedioic acid as carboxyl/hydroxyl adjusting agent. This polycondensation proceeded by catalysis of stannous oxide to give the multiblock copolymers with high molecular weight and wide range of compositions. Polymer film was prepared by casting the chloroform solution of the multiblock copolymers having different composition. The multiblock copolymers having relatively high contents of poly(L-lactide) were melt spun into filaments which were subsequently drawn at 60$^{\circ}C$. The copolymer films and the filaments showed an improved flexibility due to the incorporation of the soft segments.

Poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) multiblock copolymers at various hydrophobic-hydrophilic ratios were successfully synthesized by the chain extension of triblock copolymers through isocyanate (hexamethylene diisocyanate). Biodegradable films were prepared from the resulting multiblock copolymers using the casting method. The mechanical properties of the films were improved by chain extension of the triblock copolymers, whereas the films prepared by the triblock copolymers were weak and brittle. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the multiblock copolymer film showed that the hydrophilic PEG had segregated on the film surface. This is consistent with the observed contact angle of the films.

Novel multiblock copolymers, based on segmented sulfonated hydrophilic-hydrophobic blocks, were synthesized and investigated for their application as proton exchange membranes. A series of segmented sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)-b-polyimide multiblock copolymers, with various block lengths, were synthesized via the coupling reaction between the terminal amine moieties on the hydrophilic blocks and naphthalene anhydride functionalized hydrophobic blocks. Successful imidization reactions required a mixed solvent system, comprised of NMP and m-cresol, in the presence of catalysts. Proton conductivity measurements revealed that the proton conductivity improved with increasing hydrophilic and hydrophobic block lengths. The morphological structure of the multiblock copolymers was investigated using tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM). The AFM images of the copolymers demonstrated well-defined nanophase separated morphologies, with the changes in the block length having a pronounced effect on the phase separated morphologies of the system. The self diffusion coefficient of water, as measured by $^1H$ NMR, provided a better understanding of the transport process. Thus, the block copolymers showed higher values than Nafion, and comparable proton conductivities in liquid water, as well as under partially hydrated conditions at $80^{\circ}C$. The new materials are strong candidates for use in PEM systems.

Both A-B-A triblock and multiblock copoly(ester-ether)s consisting of poly(L-Lactide) and poly(oxyethylene-co-oxypropylene) were prepared and characterized. The preparation of the triblock copolymer was done by ring-opening copolymerization of L-lactide with a commercially available telechelic copolyether, Pluronic$\^$TM/(PN) by catalysis of stannous octanoate. The molecular weight and unit composition of the produced copolymers were successfully controlled by changing the L-lactide/PN ratio in feed. However, a high molecular weight copolymer incorporating PN in large amount was not obtained because the molecular weight of the resulting copolymer was limited at a high L-lactide/PN composition. The multiblock copolymer was synthesized by the copolycondensation of oligo(L-lactic acid) prepared by thermal dehydration of L-lactic acid, PN, and dodecanedioic acid as carboxyl/hydroxyl adjusting agent. This polycondensation proceeded by catalysis of stannous oxide to give multiblock copolymers with high molecular weight and wide range of compositions.

Pedestrian detection is a very important and valuable part of artificial intelligence and computer vision. It can be used in various areas for example automatic drive, video analysis and others. Many works have been done for the pedestrian detection. The accuracy of pedestrian detection on multiple pedestrian image has reached high level. It is not easily get more progress now. This paper proposes a new structure based on the idea of HOG and convolutional filters to do the pedestrian detection in single pedestrian image. It can be a method to increase the accuracy depend on the high accuracy in single pedestrian detection. In this paper, we use Multiblock HOG and magnitude of the pixel as the feature and use convolutional filter to do the to extract the feature. And then use NEWFM to be the classifier for training and testing. We use single pedestrian image of the INRIA data set as the data set. The result shows that the Convolutional Multiblock HOG we proposed get better performance which is 0.015 miss rate at 10-4 false positive than the other detection methods for example HOGLBP which is 0.03 miss rate and ChnFtrs which is 0.075 miss rate.

A series of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) tri and multiblock copolymers with relatively high molecular weights were synthesized through the coupling reaction between the bis(acyl chloride) of carboxylated PLA and mono or dihydroxy PEG. The coupling reaction and the copolymer structures were monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The melting temperature (Tm) of PEG blocks decreased with the presence of PLA sequences attaching to PEG blocks. The CMC values were determined to be 10-145 mg/L depending on the length of PLA and PEG blocks and the structure of the block copolymers.

A multiblock grid generation has been applied to a Navier-Stokes design procedure of a axial-flow compressors. A multiblock structure simplifies the creation of structured H-grids about complex turbomachinery geometries and facilitate the creation of a grid in the tip flow region. The numerical algorithm adopts the combination of the algebraic and elliptic method to create the internal grids efficiently and quickly. The input module is made of the results of the preliminary design, i.e., flow-path, aerodynamic conditions along the spanwise direction, and the blade profile data. The final grids generated from each module of the system are used as the preprocessor for the performance prediction of the sectional blade, the blade-stacking process and the three-dimensional flow simulation inside the blade passage. Application to the blade design of the LP compressor was demonstrated to be very reliable and practical in support of design activities. This customized system are coupled strongly with the design procedure of the turbomachinery cascades using the Navier-Stokes technique.
