The elitist strategy was used to improve the speed of the convergence. After that, the modified genetic algorithm was applied to reassess the coefficients of the regression model and a genetic regression model was set up. As an example, a slotted gravity dam in the Northeast of China was introduced. The computational results show that the genetic regression model can solve the under-fitting problems perfectly.展开更多

Most current approaches only focus on discriminating moving objects by background subtraction whether or not the objects of interest can be moving or stationary. In this paper, we propose layers segmentation to detect both moving and stationary target objects from surveillance video. We extend the Maximum Entropy (ME) statistical model to segment layers with features, which are collected by constructing a codebook with a set of codewords for each pixel. We also indicate how the training models are used for the discrimination of target objects in surveillance video. Our experimental results are presented in terms of the success rate and the segmenting precision.展开更多

It is based on analysis of changes in dynamic characteristics of dams obtained by an automated monitoring and earthquake registration system that records microseismic vibrations of structures. The configuration of the system as well as the results of seismometric monitoring of the dam of Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power plant are described. To study behavior of the dam under normal and extreme loads it was proposed to develop a model of the dam with the use of the finite element method.展开更多

The system will be able to make an analysis that assures a more efficient management of each plant and of the whole system. In the first part of this study, the features of the monitoring system that allows to monitor the operating parameters and to discover the issues before they actually become dangerous for the plant have been identified. The data collected in the different solar thermal systems realized in Italian jails have been analyzed. The results of these elaborations allowed us both to find out some anomalies of functioning of the plants, and to optimize the management of the whole plant in a more efficient way.展开更多

The geometric state of the caisson, the stress of upstream and downstream anchorage cables, underwater topography, the drag forces of the caisson cutting edge and frictional resistances of the sidewall and etc. are monitored in real time. According to the synthesized data analysis and decision-making system, the spatial states of the caisson are adjusted in time to locate and embed the deep water caisson precisely. The offset error of the caisson is less than 30 cm and the vertical error is 1/363 at the final stage. The control technology for construction of large caisson under deep water is concluded and would be helpful for the construction of bridge foundation in the future.展开更多

Authors aim to design a system that will be operated in some extent by the Internet users, and so it will be easier to be accepted by Western democracies willing to implement a fair Internet regulation policy. Last, the authors state the importance of using well-designed surveys prior to the implementation of FIRS, announce the launch of an online tool (WebObserver.net) and invite researchers to be part of this international effort.展开更多
