Namely, in [16] we have introduced, among others, the definition of the N atomic entailment and we have constructed the system S, which is based on the atomic entailment. In this paper we show that the classical Arithmetic can be based on the Atomic Logic (see [17]).展开更多

In this paper, a PSO type-reduction method for GIT-2FLS based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented. With the PSO type-reduction, the inference principle of geometric interval FLS operating on the continuous domain is consistent with that of traditional interval type-2 FLS operating on the discrete domain. With comparative experiments, it is proved that the PSO type-reduction exhibits good performance, and is a satisfactory complement for the theory of GIT-2FLS.展开更多

Application of this algorithm to detect edge behaviors and local statistical information of images demonstrated better noise removal ability and obtained sharper edges than traditional image interpolation algorithems such as nearest neighbor, bilinear and bicubic interpolation methods.展开更多

By focusing on the transformation of political and cultural institutions and sorting through the historical evolution both of literature and of distinguished families, we can describe the historical evolution of the literary family in Chinese dynastic history, that is, the succession and the orderly progress of its three forms over three periods. The first period from the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties saw the emergence of"literary families of classical scholars," and their evolutionary successors, "literary families with hereditary power." In the second period of Sui and Tang Dynasties, this latter group coexisted and to some extent merged with "literary families of scholar-officials" in a composite form. The third period of Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties witnessed the continuation and transformation of the mainstream form of "literary families of scholar-officials." In addition to the above groups, there existed a multiplicity of other forms. To construct an academic paradigm of the history of the literary family, we need to integrate four levels of research into an organic unity: research on individual literary families, research on families in specific periods and in specific regions, and research on the literary family across history.展开更多

Novel concepts like oxide-electronic device are prompted, and their performance and lifetime are highly dependent on the flatness and abruptness of the layer surfaces and interfaces. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), which is extremely sensitive to surface morphology, has proven to be a versatile technique for the growth study of oxide thin films. A differential pumping unit enables an implementation of RHEED to pulsed laser deposition (PLD) systems, ensuring an in situ monitoring of the film growth process in a conventional PLD working oxygen pressure up to 30 Pa. By optimizing the deposition conditions and analyzing the RHEED intensity oscillations, layer-by-layer growth mode can be attained. Thus atomic control of the film surface and unit-cell control of the film thickness become reality. This may lead to an advanced miniaturization in the oxide electronics, and more importantly the discovery of a range of emergent physical properties at the interfaces. Herein we will briefly introduce the principle of high-pressure RHEED and summarize our main results relevant to the effort toward this objective, including the growth and characterization of twinned Laz/3Caj/3MnO3 thin films and ReTiO〉6/2 (Re = La, Nd; ~5 = 0 - 1) AnBnO3n+2 structures, on YSZ-buffered 'Silicon on Insulator' and LaA103 substrates, respectively, as well as the study of the initial structure and growth dynamics of YBazCu307-6 thin films on SrTiO3 substrate. Presently we have realized in situ monitoring and growth mode control during oxide thin film deposition process.展开更多
