So the genetic algorithm is introduced to improve the computational efficiency of the 2 D entropy method. The proposed method uses both the gray value of a pixel and the local average gray value of an image. At the same time, the simple genetic algorithm is improved by using better reproduction and crossover operators. Thus the proposed method makes up the 2 D entropy method’s drawback of being time consuming, and yields satisfactory segmentation results. Experimental results show that the proposed method can save computational time when it provides good quality segmentation.展开更多

The calculated results show that the structure and electronic properties of sulfide minerals surfaces have been influenced in presence of H2 O molecule. The adsorption of the flotation reagent at the interface of mineral-water would be different from that of mineral surface due to the changes of surface structures and electronic properties caused by H2 O molecule. Hence, the influence of H2 O molecule on the reaction of flotation reagent with sulfide mineral surface will attract more attention.展开更多

First, to get initial contour, one image slice was segmented exactly by C-V method based on Mumford-Shah model. Next, the computer will segment the nearby slice automatically using the snake model one by one. During segmenting of image slices, former slice boundary, as next slice initial contour, may cross over next slice real boundary and never return to right position. To avoid contour skipping over, the distance variance between two slices is evaluated by an threshold, which decides whether to initiate again. Moreover, a new improved marching cubes (MC) algorithm based on 2D images series segmentation boundary is given for 3D image reconstruction. Compared with the standard method, the proposed algorithm reduces detecting time and needs less storing memory. The effectiveness and capabilities of the algorithm were illustrated by experimental results.展开更多

In this paper, a heartbeat mechanism for MapReduce Task Scheduler using Dynamic Calibration (HMTS- DC) is proposed to address the unbalanced node computation capacity problem in a het- erogeneous MapReduce environment. HMTS- DC uses two mechanisms to dynamically adapt and balance tasks assigned to each com- pute node: 1) using heartbeat to dynamically estimate the capacity of the compute nodes, and 2) using data locality of replicated data blocks to reduce data transfer between nodes. With the first mechanism, based on the heart- beats received during the early state of the job, the task scheduler can dynamically estimate the computational capacity of each node. Us- ing the second mechanism, unprocessed Tasks local to each compute node are reassigned and reserved to allow nodes with greater capacities to reserve more local tasks than their weaker counterparts. Experimental results show that HMTS-DC performs better than Hadoop and Dynamic Data Placement Strategy (DDP) in a dynamic environment. Furthermore, an en- hanced HMTS-DC (EHMTS-DC) is proposed bv incorporatin historical data. In contrastto the "slow start" property of HMTS-DC, EHMTS-DC relies on the historical computation capacity of the slave machines. The experimental results show that EHMTS-DC outperforms HMTS-DC in a dynamic environment.展开更多

Hence, a method for fuzzy ontology construction based on incomplete knowledge is proposed. First, the calculation principle of the attribute weight of the ontology concept is presented, and the calculation function of the attribute weight is derived through experiments. Then, the membership degree of the incomplete individual to the concept is computed. Finally, the incomplete individual is classified according to the principle of the variable precision rough set model. The experimental results show that the average precision of the classification of the incomplete individuals is 81.7% when the common attributes are omitted and that it is difficult to classify the incomplete individuals correctly when the private attributes are omitted. This method is significant for handling incomplete knowledge in the process of ontology construction.展开更多

A case study demonstrated that a payment schedule at the Nash equilibrium position enables both the owner and the client to gain their desirable interests, thus is a win-win solution for both parties. Despite the computation time of the proposed algrithm in need of improving, combining Nash equilibrium and genetic algorithm into a complete-information dynamic-game model is a promising method for project management optimization.展开更多

In our previous work an algebraic quotient space model was proposed,where the quotient structure could not be deduced if the granulation was based on an equivalence relation. In this paper,definitions were given and formulas of the lower quotient congruence and upper quotient congruence were calculated to roughly represent the quotient structure. Then the accuracy and roughness were defined to measure the quotient structure in quantification. Finally,a numerical example was given to demonstrate that the rough representation and measuring methods are efficient and applicable. The work has greatly enriched the algebraic quotient space model and granular computing theory.展开更多

Most of previous work concenates on sensing the spectrum in a single spectrum band. In this paper, we propose a spectrum sensing sequence prediction scheme for cognitive radio networks with multiple spectrum bands to decrease the spectrum sensing time and increase the throughput of secondary users. The scheme is based on recent advances in computational learning theory, which has shown that prediction is synonymous with data compression. A Ziv-Lempel data compression algorithm is used to design our spectrum sensing sequence prediction scheme. The spectrum band usage history is used for the prediction in our proposed scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the average sensing time and improve the system throughput significantly.展开更多

The reciprocating air-flow module created by a periodic reversal of the air flow was investigated in an effort to mitigate the inherent temperature gradient problem of the conventional battery system with a unidirectional coolant flow with computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Orthogonal experiment and optimization design method based on computational fluid dynamics virtual experiments were developed. A set of optimized design factors for the cooling of reciprocating air flow of LIB thermal management was determined. The simulation experiments show that the reciprocating flow can achieve good heat dissipation, reduce the temperature difference, improve the temperature homogeneity and effectively lower the maximal temperature of the modular battery. The reciprocating flow improves the safety, long-term performance and life span of LIB.展开更多
