Effect of heating-rate on failure temperature of pre-loaded brass H62

The response and failure of brass H62 specimens subjected to different levels of pre-loaded stresses and heating rates were investigated using a Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical material testing system. The metallographs of the tested material were also observed and analyzed. It is found that the increase of either pre-loaded stress or heating-rate decreases the failure temperature. Metallographic analysis shows that high heating-rate may cause stronger local thermal inconsistency （LTI） and remarkably increase the microdefects in the material, which may markedly degrade the macroscopic mechanical properties of the material.     

Performance variability is related to change in cognition: Evidence from the Victoria Longitudinal Study.

Performance variability across repeated task administrations may be an important indicator of age-related cognitive functioning. In the present investigation, the authors examined whether age differences and change in inconsistency were related to 6-year (3 occasion) cognitive change. Inconsistency scores were computed from 4 reaction time tasks performed by 446 older adults (54-89 years). Replicating previous cross-sectional results, greater inconsistency was observed for older participants even after controlling for differences in response speed. New longitudinal results demonstrated (a) associations between inconsistency at baseline measurement and 6-year change in cognitive performance; (b) longitudinal change in inconsistency; and (c) intraindividual covariation between 6-year change in inconsistency and 6-year change in level of cognitive function. These findings support the view that performance variability serves as a marker of cognitive aging. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

西江归槽洪水研究展望

西江流域由于大量兴建堤防工程导致洪水归槽,改变了原天然河道的洪水槽蓄关系,使得用于防洪规划和洪水灾害风险评估的洪水序列失去了一致性。目前洪水归槽问题研究主要集中在出槽洪水的归槽还原计算方面,对于干支流洪水与区间洪水的遭遇考虑不足,对洪水发生变异的成因及非一致性洪水的频率计算方法也缺乏系统性的研究。建议采用水文变异诊断系统对西江流域的水文要素进行变异分析,以识别其时空变异规律;研制西江中下游干支流洪水及区间暴雨洪水的多输入单输出概念性水文模型,以模拟其洪水形成过程;提出基于MISOCHM模型的非一致性洪水频率计算方法、基于HHT变换的非一致性洪水频率计算方法,以推求变化环境下河道断面的洪水频率分布,并结合西江流域防洪规划评价西江堤防现状和未来的防洪能力。其研究成果不仅对变化环境下的水循环和水安全研究具有重要的理论意义,而且对于流域防洪规划和洪水灾害风险评估具有重要的实际应用价值。     

一种属性不一致性加权的K近邻分类方法

针对传统的K近邻算法在计算样本之间相似度时将每个属性视为同等重要的问题,提出了一种基于推土机距离的方法来计算每个条件属性的权重。首先根据近邻关系划分用于比较一致性的两个分布;之后根据推土机距离设计不一致性评价函数,用于衡量每个属性下各个样本的近邻样本集与这一集合由决策属性细化的等价划分之间的不一致性程度;最后将近邻的不一致性程度转换为相应属性的重要性,用于实现属性加权K近邻分类器。通过在多个数据集上进行实验,该方法对参数的敏感程度低,在多个参数下可以显著提高K近邻的分类精度,并且在多个指标下的表现优于现有的一些分类方法。结果表明,该方法可以通过属性加权选择出更加准确的近邻样本,可广泛应用于基于近邻的机器学习方法中。     

Effective composite image detection method based on feature inconsistency of image components

This paper proposes an effective composite image detection method that uses the feature inconsistency of image components of the composite image to detect tampered regions. The composite image is first divided into image components. Next, the variance of the noise remaining after de-noising in each image component is calculated and used as a feature. Finally, tampered regions are detected using this feature based on a tampering detection rule. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good composite image detection performance.

Merging potentially inconsistent items of structured text

Structured text is a general concept that is implicit in a variety of approaches to handling information. Syntactically, an item of structured text is a number of grammatically simple phrases together with a semantic label for each phrase. Items of structured text may be nested within larger items of structured text. The semantic labels in a structured text are meant to parameterize a stereotypical situation, and so a particular item of structured text is an instance of that stereotypical situation. Much information is potentially available as structured text including tagged text in XML, text in relational and object-oriented databases, and the output from information extraction systems in the form of instantiated templates. In this paper, we formalize the concept of structured text, and then focus on how we can identify inconsistency in the logical representation of items of structured text. We then present a new framework for merging logical theories that can be employed to merge inconsistent items of structured text. To illustrate, we consider the problem of merging reports such as weather reports.     

基于多个时间点联合解相关的卷积盲源分离

实际信号的混合均为卷积混合,且信号是非平稳的。盲源分离的目标就是找到一组分离滤波器,使得源信号的估计信号互相统计独立。结合信号的非平稳性,利用二阶解相关原理,文章阐明了一种在频域实现卷积混合的盲源分离算法,并且考虑了噪声对分离性能的影响。为了避免频点排列次序的不确定性,利用了多阶段盲源分离思想。利用该算法,对两路混合的实录水声信号进行盲分离,得到了两路源信号的估计信号,通过对估计信号的分析,利用信噪比提高率这一标准,验证了该算法的有效性。该算法收敛速度快,精度高,可用于浅海环境下实录水声混合信号的盲分离。
