Within the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory framework, an analytical solution to the scattering by a chiral-coated conducting spheroid, for incidence of an on-axis Gaussian beam, is constructed by expanding the incident Gaussian beam, scattered fields as well as internal fields in terms of appropriate spheroidal vector wave functions. The unknown expansion coefficients are determined by a system of linear equations derived from the boundary conditions. Numerical results of the normalized differential scattering cross section are presented, and the scattering characteristics are discussed concisely. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Study on comprehensive degradation stability of special and nonspecific motor oils

Lei Wei, Song Chen, Xianming Sun, Yongliang Jin, Dan Jia, Jian Li, Haitao Duan

Summary: The study found that special oils and nonspecific oils had good similarity in oxidation onset temperature, but nonspecific oils showed the highest change rate in sulfation value. The change rate of Euclidean distance of two special oils was less than 8.48%, indicating greater stability compared to nonspecific oils. This research can be a valuable reference for end users in selecting motor oils and for oil developers in improving oil stability.

Particle size distribution measurement in a flowing aerosol using dynamic light scattering

Tongtong Mu, Jin Shen, Mengjie Wang, John C. Thomas, Xinjun Zhu, Xi Yuan, Wei Liu, Xianming Sun, Yajing Wang, Jinzhuang Han, Zhenming Liu

Summary: The study shows that increasing flow velocity affects the recovery of particle size distribution via dynamic light scattering, particularly for unimodal and bimodal PSDs. Increasing velocity can lead to errors in peak position and broadening of PSD for unimodal PSD, and can result in a single-peak PSD for bimodal PSD. There is a correlation between velocity and signal noise in measurements, with larger particles having lower signal-to-noise ratio.

Robust investment strategies with two risky assets

Qian Lin, Yulei Luo, Xianming Sun

Summary: This paper proposes a robust investment rule for selecting relatively safe assets and hedging with relatively risky assets. The study finds that when investors cannot differentiate the riskiness of two assets, they will equally invest in both assets. Moreover, investors will take long or short positions on the relatively risky asset if it can be used as a cross-hedging instrument, while it will not be traded if it cannot serve that purpose. These findings provide a unified explanation for under-diversification, home bias, and portfolio inertia in financial markets from a cross-hedging perspective.

Dynamic impacts of energy consumption on economic growth in China: Evidence from a non-parametric panel data model

Xiaohang Ren, Ziwei Tong, Xianming Sun, Cheng Yan

Summary: By using a non-parametric method, the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption is empirically examined from both time and space perspectives. The study finds that the promotion effect of energy consumption on economic growth changes over time, and the non-parametric model captures this effect better. Additionally, classification based on carbon intensity suggests that energy efficiency should be improved in high-carbon development areas, while investment and innovation should be emphasized in low-carbon development areas.

Time-varying impact of information and communication technology on carbon emissions

Xianming Sun, Shiyi Xiao, Xiaohang Ren, Bing Xu

Summary: Using a panel data of 63 countries from 1995 to 2017, we employ the local linear dummy variable estimation (LLDVE) method to investigate the time-varying net environmental impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Our analysis reveals that, regardless of national income level, ICT increases CO2 emissions until 2004 but reduces them after 2008. We further show that the positive environmental impact of ICT on high-income countries is approximately 10 times greater than that on middle-income countries over time. These findings suggest that the development of ICT should be encouraged globally to mitigate carbon emissions, particularly in middle-income countries, considering the benefits of improved technology absorption rate in high-income countries.

Bearing fault diagnosis of wind turbines based on dynamic multi-adversarial adaptive network

Miao Tian, Xiaoming Su, Changzheng Chen, Yuanqing Luo, Xianming Sun

Summary: Due to the lack of labeled data on wind turbine bearings, a new wind turbine bearing fault diagnosis method based on a dynamic multi-adversarial adaptive network (DMAAN) was proposed. The method utilized laboratory data to obtain fault diagnosis models and involved evaluating distribution differences and reducing them through adversarial training. The validity of DMAAN was verified through transfer experiments, showing higher diagnostic accuracy and better transmission capability compared to existing methods.

Optical attenuation by sand/dust storms considering relative humidity

Shixiong Wu, Xuebang Gao, Xuqiang Dou, Li Xie

Summary: In this paper, an indoor experimental study was conducted to investigate the optical attenuation caused by sand/dust storms at different relative humidity levels. It was found that the hygroscopic growth of sand/dust particles has a significant effect on optical attenuation when the relative humidity is above 60%. Based on the double-parameter Kasten model, a proposed optical attenuation model takes into account visibility, particle size, relative humidity, and optical wavelength. Numerical calculations considering the hygroscopicity effect were also performed, and the results were in agreement with the experimental data.

Thermophotonic cells in self-sustaining parallel circuits

Zhimin Yang, Jaeman Song, Bong Jae Lee

Summary: In this study, we analyze TPX cells operating in the self-sustaining circuit and examine the effects of different bandgaps on their performance. The results show that the bandgap energy of the LED must exceed that of the PV cell for the TPX cell to function in a self-sustaining parallel circuit. Additionally, a narrower bandgap energy for the PV cell and a wider bandgap energy for the LED can improve the performance of the TPX cell in the self-sustaining circuit.
