A new hybrid solver with two‐level parallel computing for large‐scale structural analysis
Authors: Miao Xinqiang , Jin Xianlong , Ding Junhong 
Published: August 2014

SummaryWith the advancement of new processor and memory architectures, supercomputers of multicore and multinode architectures have become general tools for large‐scale engineering and scientific simulations. However, the nonuniform latencies between intranode and internode communications on these machines introduce new challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve optimal performance. In this paper, a novel hybrid solver that is especially designed for supercomputers of multicore and multinode architectures is proposed. The new hybrid solver is characterized by its two‐level parallel computing approach on the basis of the strategies of two‐level partitioning and two‐level condensation. It distinguishes intranode and internode communications to minimize the communication overheads. Moreover, it further reduces the size of interface equation system to improve its convergence rate. Three numerical experiments of structural linear static analysis were conducted on DAWNING‐5000A supercomputer to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method. Test results show that the proposed approach was superior in performance compared with the conventional Schur complement method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Vagal tone as a biomarker of long‐term memory for a stressful social event at 4 months
Authors: Montirosso Rosario , Provenzi Livio , Tronick Ed , Morandi Francesco , Reni Gianluigi , Borgatti Renato 
Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTThis study investigates infants' memory for social stress after a 15‐day retention interval using behavior and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Experimental group infants were exposed to face‐to‐face still‐face paradigm (FFSF) two times; the first time at 4 months and after a 2‐week interval. Control group infants were exposed to FFSF only once at 4 months plus 2 weeks. Infants were categorized as suppressors or non‐suppressors based on the direction of RSA change at first FFSF exposure. No behavioral differences were found among groups and exposure conditions. In the experimental group suppressors changed and showed no suppression when re‐exposed 2 weeks later to FFSF. Non‐suppressors showed no change in RSA from the first to the second exposure to FFSF. Control infants showed similar RSA changes to experimental infants at their first exposure. Findings indicate that 4‐month‐old infants have memory for social stress related to individual differences in autonomic reactivity. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Dev Psychobiol 56: 1564–1574, 2014.
Optimizing occupancy surveys by maximizing detection probability: application to amphibian monitoring in the Mediterranean region
Authors: Petitot Maud , Manceau Nicolas , Geniez Philippe , Besnard Aurélien 
Published: August 2014

Abstract

Setting up effective conservation strategies requires the precise determination of the targeted species’ distribution area and, if possible, its local abundance. However, detection issues make these objectives complex for most vertebrates. The detection probability is usually <1 and is highly dependent on species phenology and other environmental variables. The aim of this study was to define an optimized survey protocol for the Mediterranean amphibian community, that is, to determine the most favorable periods and the most effective sampling techniques for detecting all species present on a site in a minimum number of field sessions and a minimum amount of prospecting effort. We visited 49 ponds located in the Languedoc region of southern France on four occasions between February and June 2011. Amphibians were detected using three methods: nighttime call count, nighttime visual encounter, and daytime netting. The detection nondetection data obtained was then modeled using site‐occupancy models. The detection probability of amphibians sharply differed between species, the survey method used and the date of the survey. These three covariates also interacted. Thus, a minimum of three visits spread over the breeding season, using a combination of all three survey methods, is needed to reach a 95% detection level for all species in the Mediterranean region. Synthesis and applications: detection nondetection surveys combined to site occupancy modeling approach are powerful methods that can be used to estimate the detection probability and to determine the prospecting effort necessary to assert that a species is absent from a site.
A Study on Compensating Voltage Drop in Distribution Systems due to Nighttime Simultaneous Charging of Electric Vehicles Utilizing Charging Power Adjustment and Reactive Power Injection
Authors: Mitsukuri Yuki , Hara Ryoichi , Kita Hiroyuki , Kamiya Eiji , Taki Shoji , Hiraiwa Naoya , Kogure Eiji 
Published: August 2014

SUMMARYTo reduce the environment load, electric vehicles (EV) have been attracting attention and expectations. since they can run with at good fuel efficiency and without exhaust gases. It is expected that EV will become more and more popular. Generally, EVs would be used for driving during daytime and be charged during the nighttime, considering lifestyle and time‐of‐use patterns. If most EV owners adopt this use pattern, feeder voltage profiles could be greatly affected, causing severe voltage drops. The battery charger for EVs described in this papers consists of a self‐commutated inverter, which in principle can control not only active power but also reactive power. We propose a basic feeder voltage regulation algorithm, “PQ control”, using EVs which involves adjustment of the EV charging schedule and reactive power injection. In addition, we propose “prediction control”, which is based on “PQ control” and is takes account of prediction of the receiving voltage. Advanced “communication control” regulation algorithms, utilizing communication among EVs and the distribution system operator, are also proposed. The purpose of this paper is to confirm the effectiveness of the three proposed algorithms by simulations.
Design of Nonlinear Servo Systems by the Fuzzy Method
Authors: Nor Mohd Khairi Bin Mohamed , Okubo Shigenori 
Published: August 2014

SUMMARYThis paper presents the design of nonlinear servo systems using the fuzzy method. The idea behind this control method is to divide the operating region of a nonlinear system into a collection of local linear servo control systems and apply the fuzzy method for calculation of the control input. The control input of each local linear servo system is calculated using the Davison–Smith method and the Hikita pole assignment method. We can prove that all states of the fuzzy servo system are bounded and that the output errors converge to zero by the Lyapunov method. Simulations on a nonlinear mass‐spring‐damper system illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Phase‐Locked Loop Using Complex‐Coefficient Filters for Grid‐Connected Inverter
Authors: Ohori Akihiro , Hattori Nobuyuki , Funaki Tsuyoshi 
Published: August 2014

SUMMARYRecently, photovoltaic (PV) power systems have attracted considerable attention in attempts to mitigate global warming. In a PV power system, it is necessary to synchronize the grid voltage when a PV inverter is interconnected with a grid. This paper proposes a high‐speed and high‐precision phase‐locked loop (PLL) using complex‐coefficient filters for a single‐phase grid‐connected inverter. The proposed PLL can detect the phase of grid voltage that has superimposed harmonic components for grid fault. Moreover, numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Two‐Dimensional {Co3+–Co2+} and {Fe3+–Co2+} Networks and Their Heterogeneous Catalytic Activities
Authors: Srivastava Sumit , Dagur Manvender Singh , Gupta Rajeev 
Published: August 2014

AbstractWe report the synthesis and characterization of two‐dimensional homodimetallic {Co3+–Co2+} and heterodimetallic {Fe3+–Co2+} coordination networks with Co3+‐ and Fe3+‐based metalloligands. The crystal structures reveal 2D networks in which the metalloligands are connected through secondary Co2+ ions. The kinetic lability of the secondary Co2+ ions, their Lewis acidity, and the presence of dissociable coordinated water molecules have been utilized in Knoevenagel condensation and cyanation reactions of assorted aldehydes. These reusable networks catalyze these reactions heterogeneously and efficiently.
