Abstract: The invention belongs to ecological revetments in the technical field of river ecology, which particularly involves an ecological revetment to regulate wandering rivers. The ecological revetment is composed of porous concrete-piles, ecological connecting-plates, an ecological viewing-corridor and a slope green-belt. The ecological landscape-corridor and anchor rod are placed on the upper and middle parts of the pile structure, respectively. In virtue of the innovative structure, the ecological revetment will strengthen the revetment structure, reduce the revetment settlement, prevent the revetment from moving, and enhance the overall stability of the revetment project. The ecological holes exist on the ecological connecting-plates, which is beneficial to the exchange of material and energy from the river course and the bank slope, and the holes could greatly enhance the self-cleaning capacity of the water body.

Abstract: A preparation method of flexible transparent radiation shielding film based on bismuth compounds and its application are provided, in which bismuth compound nanoparticles, polyvinyl alcohol and trace glycerol are mixed to produce a flexible transparent radiation shielding film. The invention disperses the nanoparticles in water to form a stable dispersion, which ensures the homogeneity of the sol obtained by mixing the nanoparticles with polyvinyl alcohol. This invention avoids the decrease in transparency of the composite film as induced by agglomeration of the nanoparticles, achieving a light transmission of over 70% in the visible wavelength band (400-800 nm). With the aid of trace-mount glycerol, the film features long-term stability and flexibility. Importantly, the lead-free film shows a high shielding ability from the medical X-ray band (10-100 keV), which is comparable to Cu foil of identical thickness.

Abstract: A baseband measurement system includes a host and a Digital Immediate Frequency (DIF) subsystem. The DIF subsystem includes both hardware and software components, such as, for example, a microprocessor and its associated software, a FPGA, one or more ASICs, and memory. The baseband measurements are processed using the FPGA, ASICs, and the microprocessor and its software. The microprocessor controls the flow of the data in and out of the memory and distributes the processing tasks to both the hardware and software components in a cooperative manner. The microprocessor orchestrates the measurements and processing by operating as a measurement state machine. Selection of the proper component is based on the type of measurement and its processing requirements, as well as the current state of the hardware and software components. The host receives the processed data and performs post-processing operations if needed. The host also displays the processed data.
