With the method two realization approaches, i.e., the node progression approach and the global accumulation approach, are presented. Their resource consumptions, operation complexities, and el^ciencies axe evaluated and compared. It is found that the latter approach is better than the former one besides the error is partially self-corrected. The latter approach is further improved so that two merits are resultant. The improved version is compared with a similar protocol [M.Y. Wang and F.L. Yah, Eur. Phys. J. D 54 （2009） 111]. Their merits and additional costs are exposed.展开更多

The location of the bus stop in the on/off-ramp （thereafter downstream or upstream case） is discussed. The simulation results show that in the two ramp systems, the reasons for traffic congestions are different. In the on-ramp system, buses and cars coming from on-ramp interweave each other, while in the off-ramp system, buses interweave with cars exiting to off-ramp. Thus, in the on-ramp （off-ramp） system, the upstream （downstream） bus stop is helpful to reduce the interweaving situation. Moreover, the negative effect will disappear when the distance between the bus stop and the on/off-ramp is more than 20 cells （i.e. 150 m）. These qualitative findings may provide some suggestions on traffic management and optimization.展开更多

Multimedia sensor network plays an important role in the IoT, and audio event detection in the multimedia sensor net- works is one of the most important applications for the Internet of Things. In practice, it is hard to get enough real-world samples to generate the classifi- ers for some special audio events （e.g., car-crash- ing in the smart traffic system）. In this paper, we introduce a TrAdaBoost-based method to solve the above problem. By using the proposed approach, we can train a strong classifier by using only a tiny amount of real-world data and a large number of more easily collected samples （e.g., collected from TV programs）, even when the real-world data is not sufficient to train a model alone. We deploy this ap- proach in a smart traffic system to evaluate its per- formance, and the experiment evaluations demonstrate that our method can achieve satisfying results.展开更多

Samples were screened for bacterial colonization with special focus on Legionella. Percentage occurrence of predominant bacteria present in water samples collected from inlets included： Klebsiella （95.45%）, Enterobacter （90.9%）, Pseudomonas （86.36%）, Escherichia coli （81.81%）, and Legionella （72.72%）. While those predominant in water inside cooling towers were： Pseudomonas （100%）, Staphylococci （81.81%）, Legionella （81.81%） and Bacillus （72.72%）. Incidence of Legionella recovered from inside and outlets of cooling towers sites was similar. Four species of Legionella were identified in water samples collected from inlets, inside and outlets of cooling towers, in the following consecutive frequencies L. pneumophila （72.72%, 81.81% and 81.81%）, L. jordans （18.18%, 36.36% and 27.27%）, L. dumffii （9.09%, 22.72% and 22.72%） and L. oekidegenes （4.54%, 13.63% and 18.18%）. The increased percentage occurrence of Legionella in water collected from inlets and inside cooling towers, as well as those of Pseudomonas and Staphylococci suggest that Legionella is also a hardy organism, being potentially survive as free organism despite water disinfection.展开更多
