We studied the volume variation of logs caused by quality defects in traditional timber processing and set up an optimization approach,using a robust optimization method. We used total number of acceptable boards produced to study the relationship between board thickness and raw material logs, using a heuristic search algorithm to control the variation of board volume to improve the output of boards, reduce the quantity of by-products, and lower production costs. The robust optimization method can effectively control the impact of volume variations in timber processing, reduce cutting waste as far as possible using incremental processing and increase profits, maximize the utilization ratio of timber, prevent waste in processing, cultivate the productive type of tree species and save forest resources.展开更多

In order to satisfy the combinational and sequential activation of BMP and WNT pathways, inspired by the heterogeneous hydrogel-liked structures of Brasenia, heterogeneous alginate/chitosan hydrogels were fabricated and spatially loaded with FK506 and BIO to achieve sustained and sequential release of the activators. Alkaline phosphatase staining, alizarin red staining and q RT-PCR results suggested that FK506 and BIO enhanced osteoblastic differentiation in vitro when used separately. Besides, by mixing and matching the activators and the hydrogel layers, a superior releasing mode that a combination of early FK506 release and following BIO release was identified via both in vitro and in vivo explorations for most efficient bone regeneration. These results suggested that drug-loaded heterogeneous hydrogels possess great potentials in treating bone loss defects for future clinical practice.展开更多

The bias is impacted by system uncertainties and exists in both state transition and observer matrices. Initial conditions and cross-correlated uncertainty inputs are described by the sum quadratic constraint (SQC). Without modifying the SQC, the minimal state of the SQC is obtained through Krein space method. The inertia condition for a minimum of a deterministic quadratic form is derived when the coefficient of observer uncertainty input is non-unit matrix. Recursions of Krein space state filtering and bias filtering are developed respectively. Since the cross correlation between uncertainties is considered, a cross correlation gain is introduced into the posteriori estimator. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the performance of the proposed filter.展开更多
