V...The Spectral Statistical Interpolation (SSI) analysis system of NCEP is used to assimilate meteorological data from the Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS/MET) refraction angles with the variational technique. Verified by radiosonde, including GPS/MET observations into the analysis makes an overall improvement to the analysis variables of temperature, winds, and water vapor. However, the variational model with the ray-tracing method is quite expensive for numerical weather prediction and climate research. For example, about 4 000 GPS/MET refraction angles need to be assimilated to produce an ideal global analysis. Just one iteration of minimization will take more than 24 hours CPU time on the NCEP's Cray C90 computer. Although efforts have been taken to reduce the computational cost, it is still prohibitive for operational data assimilation. In this paper, a parallel version of the three-dimensional variational data assimilation model of GPS/MET occultation measurement suitable for massive parallel processors architectures is developed. The divide-and-conquer strategy is used to achieve parallelism and is implemented by message passing. The authors present the principles for the code's design and examine the performance on the state-of-the-art parallel computers in China. The results show that this parallel model scales favorably as the number of processors is increased. With the Memory-IO technique implemented by the author, the wall clock time per iteration used for assimilating 1420 refraction angles is reduced from 45 s to 12 s using 1420 processors. This suggests that the new parallelized code has the potential to be useful in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate studies.展开更多

By applying the Riemann-Liouville integral operator to some functions defined on the positive real axis, the author establishes sufficient conditions to generate some new fractional integral inequalities of Qi type and finally gives two main results： in the first one, the author uses only functions of independent variables; but in the second one, the author uses functions of independent variables combined with some positive functions. It is to note that in this paper, some interested classical integral inequalities can be deduced as some special cases of the paper＇s results. In order to illustrate a possible practical use of these results, in the last section of the paper, the author applies the proposed inequalities to the Bagley-Torvik equation which arises in modeling the motion of a rigid plate immersed in a Newtonian fluid. Some other examples that arise in applications are also presented.展开更多

Mukerjee and Fang employed the projective geometry theory to find the secondary wordlength pattern of a regular symmetrical fractional factorial split-plot (FFSP) design in terms of its complementary subset, but not in a unified form. In this paper, based on the connection between factorial design theory and coding theory, we obtain some general and unified combinatorial identities that relate the secondary wordlength pattern of a regular symmetrical or mixed-level FFSP design to that of its consulting design. According to these identities, we further establish some general and unified rules for identifying minimum secondary aberration, symmetrical or mixed-level, FFSP designs through their consulting designs.展开更多

As an application, we prove that the limit of the Hawking mass of the slices of a weak solution of inverse mean curvature flow with any connected C^(2)-smooth surface as initial data in asymptotically anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild manifolds with positive mass is greater than or equal to the total mass, which is completely different from the situation in the asymptotically flat case.展开更多
