Homo-urbanicus and Human-centered Planning

Homo-urbanicus is a planning concept which treats a human being as a rational animal with distinct material,social and intellectual characteristics,and a human settlement as a space in which human beings seek and offer opportunities for connection.Human-centered planning is the application of classical Natural Law(balance between self-preservation and mutual preservation)to the matching of human needs and human settlements.

Text categorization based on fuzzy classification rules tree

To deal with the problem that arises when the conventional fuzzy class-association method applies repetitive scans of the classifier to classify new texts,which has low efficiency, a new approach based on the FCR-tree（fuzzy classification rules tree）for text categorization is proposed.The compactness of the FCR-tree saves significant space in storing a large set of rules when there are many repeated words in the rules.In comparison with classification rules,the fuzzy classification rules contain not only words,but also the fuzzy sets corresponding to the frequencies of words appearing in texts.Therefore,the construction of an FCR-tree and its structure are different from a CR-tree.To debase the difficulty of FCR-tree construction and rules retrieval,more k-FCR-trees are built.When classifying a new text,it is not necessary to search the paths of the sub-trees led by those words not appearing in this text,thus reducing the number of traveling rules.Experimental results show that the proposed approach obviously outperforms the conventional method in efficiency.

LOCALIZATION ALGORITHM USING DISTANCE AND ANGLE INFORMATION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

A localization algorithm using distance and angle information is proposed in wireless sensor networks. Assuming that node axial orientations are unknown, all angles are measured to calculate the angle differences between two nodes viewed by the third one. Then, localization problems are formulated as convex optimization ones and all geometric relationships among different nodes in the communication range are transformed into linear or quadratic constraints. If all measurements are accurate, the localization problem can be formulated as linear programming （LP）. Otherwise, by incorporating auxiliary variables, it can be regarded as quadratic programming （QP）. Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Bi-normalized response spectra and scalar periods for developing uniform seismic design spectra

Aiming at the uniform features of acceleration response spectra, two scalar periods-the response spectral predominant period Tp and the smoothed spectral predominant period To are employed to normalize the abscissa of the normalized response spectra （NRS） of ground motions, respectively. Engineering characteristics of 5% -damped NRS, and the bi-normalized response spectra （BNRS） are investigated accounting for the effects of soil condition and fault distance. Nearly 600 horizontal ground motion components during the Chi-Chi earthquake are included in the analysis. It shows that the NRS strongly depends on soil condition and fault distance. However, soil condition and distance have only a slight influence on two kinds of BNRS. Dispersion analysis indicates that such normalization can reduce scatter in the derivation of response spectral shapes. Finally, a parametric analysis of the scalar periods （Tp, To） is performed and then compared with those of previous studies. These special and particular aspects of earthquake response spectra and scalar periods need to be considered in developing earthquake-resistant design criteria.

A signal coordination algorithm for two adjacent intersections based on approximate dynamic programming

To reduce vehicle emissions in road networks, a new signal coordination algorithm based on approximate dynamic programming （ADP） is developed for two intersections. Taking the Jetta car as an experimental vehicle, field tests are conducted in Changchun Street of Changchun city and vehicle emission factors in complete stop and uniform speed states are collected. Queue lengths and signal light colors of approach lanes are selected as state variables, and green switch plans are selected as decision variables of the system. Then the calculation model of the optimization index during the planning horizon is developed based on the basis function method of the ADP. The temporal-difference algorithm is employed to update the weighting factor vector of the approximate function. Simulations are conducted in Matlab and the results show that the established algorithm outperforms the conventional coordination algorithm in reducing vehicle emissions by 8.2%. Sensitive analysis of the planning horizon length on the evaluation index is also conducted and the statistical results show that the optimal length of the planning horizon is directly proportional to the traffic load.

CONSTRAINT QUALIFICATIONS AND DUAL PROBLEMS FOR QUASI-DIFFERENTIABLE PROGRAMMING

In classical nonlinear programming, it is a general method of developing optimality conditions that a nonlinear programming problem is linearized as a linear programming problem by using first order approximations of the functions at a given feasible point. The linearized procedure for differentiable nonlinear programming problems can be naturally generalized to the quasi differential case. As in classical case so called constraint qualifications have to be imposed on the constraint functions to guarantee that for a given local minimizer of the original problem the nullvector is an optimal solution of the corresponding 'quasilinearized' problem. In this paper, constraint qualifications for inequality constrained quasi differentiable programming problems of type min {f(x)|g(x)≤0} are considered, where f and g are qusidifferentiable functions in the sense of Demyanov. Various constraint qualifications for this problem are presented and a new one is proposed. The relations among these conditions are investigated. Moreover, a Wolf dual problem for this problem is introduced, and the corresponding dual theorems are given.

Constitutive equations of 1060 pure aluminum based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression model

In order to study the work-ability and establish the optimum hot formation processing parameters for industrial 1060 pure aluminum, the compressive deformation behavior of pure aluminum was investigated at temperatures of 523?823 K and strain rates of 0.005?10 s?1 on a Gleeble?1500 thermo-simulation machine. The influence rule of processing parameters (strain, strain rate and temperature) on flow stress of pure aluminum was investigated. Nine analysis factors consisting of material parameters and according weights were optimized. Then, the constitutive equations of multilevel series rules, multilevel parallel rules and multilevel series &parallel rules were established. The correlation coefficients (R) are 0.992, 0.988 and 0.990, respectively, and the average absolute relative errors (AAREs) are 6.77%, 8.70% and 7.63%, respectively, which proves that the constitutive equations of multilevel series rules can predict the flow stress of pure aluminum with good correlation and precision.

Bulk and bubble-scale experimental studies of influence of nanoparticles on foam stability

Influence of silicon oxide(SiO_2) and aluminum oxide(Al_2O_3) nanoparticles on the stability of nanoparticles and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) mixed solution foams was studied at bulk and bubble-scale. Foam apparent viscosity was also determined in Hele-Shaw cell In order to investigate the foam performance at static and dynamic conditions. Results show that the maximum adsorption of surfactant on the nanoparticles occurs at 3 wt% surfactant concentration. Foam stability increases while the foamability decreases with the increasing nanoparticle concentration. However, optimum nanoparticle concentration corresponding to maximum foam stability was obtained at 1.0 wt% nanoparticle concentration for the hydrophilic SiO_2/SDS and Al_2O_3/SDS foams. Foam performance was enhanced with increasing nanoparticles hydrophobicity. Air-foams were generally more stable than CO_2 foams.Foam apparent viscosity increased in the presence of nanoparticles from 20.34 mPa·s to 84.84 mPa·s while the film thickness increased from 27.5 μm to 136 μm. This study suggests that the static and dynamic stability of conventional foams could be improved with addition of appropriate concentration of nanoparticles into the surfactant solution. The nanoparticles improve foam stability by their adsorption and aggregation at the foam lamellae to increase film thickness and dilational viscoelasticity. This prevents liquid drainage and film thinning and improves foam stability both at the bulk and bubble scale.

Large Scale VLSI Module Placement Using LFF Heuristics by Stages

We present a deterministic algorithm for large-scale VLSI module placement. Following the less flexibility first （LFF） principle,we simulate a manual packing process in which the concept of placement by stages is introduced to reduce the overall evaluation complexity. The complexity of the proposed algorithm is （N1 ＋ N2 ） × O（ n^2 ） ＋ N3× O（n^4lgn） ,where N1, N2 ,and N3 denote the number of modules in each stage, N1 ＋ N2 ＋ N3 = n, and N3〈〈 n. This complexity is much less than the original time complexity of O（n^5lgn）. Experimental results indicate that this approach is quite promising.

Improved Formula for Estimating Added Resistance of Ships in Engineering Applications

The authors previously introduced a semi-empirical formula that enabled fast estimation of the added resistance of ships in head waves, and in this study the formula is further refined for easy use in engineering applications. It includes an alternative ship draft correction coefficient, which better accounts for the wave pressure decay with ship’s draft. In addition, it only uses the speed and main characteristics of the ship and wave environment as input, and has been simplified to the extent that it can be readily processed using a pocket calculator. Extensive validations are conducted for different ship types at low to moderate speeds in various typical irregular sea conditions, and encouraging results are obtained. This relevant and topical research lies within the framework of the recent IMO MEPC.232（65） （2013） EEDI guidelines for estimating the minimum powering of ships in adverse weather conditions, which specify for the use of simple methods in current Level 2 assessment within engineering applications.Keywords： added resistance, minimum power, IMO regulation, EEDI regulation, weather coefficient, semi-empirical formulas, ships, head waves
