In this paper, a pre liminary classification of UPGS was presented for seven types and quantity index of UPGS was discussed tentatively. The quantity and layout problems in urban pe ripheral green space, and the several principles were mainly discussed in urban ventilation and sanitation, recreational opportunity and landscape ecological st ructure.展开更多

For enhancing the sparse property of wavelet approximation, a new algorithm was proposed by using wavelet kernel Support Vector Machines (SVM), which can converge to minimum error with bet-ter sparsity. Here, wavelet functions would be firstly used to construct the admitted kernel for SVM according to Mercy theory; then new SVM with this kernel can be used to approximate the target fun-citon with better sparsity than wavelet approxiamtion itself. The results obtained by our simulation ex-periment show the feasibility and validity of wavelet kernel support vector machines.展开更多

We define inter-layer hierarchical random linear network codes (IHRLNC), which not only take the flexibility of intersession network coding for layer mixing but also consider the strict priority inherent in the layered source data. Furthermore, we propose the inter-layer hierarchical multicast (IHM), which performs IHRLNC in the network such that each sink can recover some source layers according to its individu- al capacity. To determine the optimal type of IHRLNC that should be performed on each edge in IHM, we formulate an optimization problem based on 0-1 integer linear programming, and propose a heuristic approach to approximate the optimal solution in polynomial time. Simulation results show that the proposed IHM can achieve throughput gains over the layered muhicast schemes.展开更多

Firstly, a scheduling problem domain is described. Mathematical programming models are al- so set up with an objective function of minimizing related costs of the system. On the basis of the de= scriptions mentioned above, a solving policy of generating feasible scheduling solutions is estab- lished. Combining with the speeific constraints of operation theatres, a filtered-beam-search-based algorithm is put forward to solve scheduling problems. Finally, simulation experiments are designed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with that of other approaches through simulations. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce costs, and are of prac- ticality and effectiveness.展开更多

The historical data contained in the financial statements of universities provide the expenditures of the latter. These expenditures are then re-determined with the use of independent variables (Jacobian determinants), as well as with activity-based costing (ABC) and interviews, in order to obtain certainty of accuracy of the calculations and an indication of the cost of educational services, which can help determine magnitudes and improve the long-term planning of university resources. The above process can be used to create cost drivers and cost pools for the new financial burden of academic departments (cost centres) and to calculate the cost per student for each department. This information does not function at variance with or as a substitute for traditional accounting systems but in parallel (or supplementally), providing administrators with more comparative data and a clearer picture of a university's economic operations which will facilitate its decision planning. Thus, it can provide higher education institutions with a decision-making tool for the following tasks: (1) allocation of national and community funds to university departments; (2) financing of textbooks, food, and accommodation; and (3) determining the optimum number of new enrolments.展开更多
