Temperature sensor based on the Er green upconverted emission in a fluorotellurite glass

The temperature dependence of the green upconverted emission from the two thermally coupled ²H_11/2 and ⁴S_3/2 levels of the Er³⁺ ion in a fluorotellurite glass has been analyzed as a function of the optically active ion concentration in order to check its availability as a temperature sensor. The infrared-to-green upconverted emission have been observed by the naked eyes after a cw laser diode excitation at 800 nm. The fluorescence intensity ratio between the thermally coupled emitting levels as well as the temperature sensitivity has been experimentally obtained up to 540 K. A better behaviour as a temperature sensor has been obtained for the less Er³⁺ concentrated glass with a maximum sensitivity of 54 × 10^−4 K^−1 at 540 K, one of the highest found in rare-earth doped transparent materials.     

Algorithms to Separate $\{0,\frac{1}{2}\}$ -Chvátal-Gomory Cuts

Chvátal-Gomory cuts are among the most well-known classes of cutting planes for general integer linear programs (ILPs). In case the constraint multipliers are either 0 or mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq3.gif" alt="$\frac {1}{2}$" align="middle" border="0"> , such cuts are known as mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq4.gif" alt="$\{0,\frac {1}{2}\}$" align="middle" border="0"> -cuts. It has been proven by Caprara and Fischetti (Math. Program. 74:221–235, 1996) that separation of mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq5.gif" alt="$\{0,\frac {1}{2}\}$" align="middle" border="0"> -cuts is mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq6.gif" alt="$\mathcal {NP}$" align="middle" border="0"> -hard. In this paper, we study ways to separate mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq7.gif" alt="$\{0,\frac {1}{2}\}$" align="middle" border="0"> -cuts effectively in practice. We propose a range of preprocessing rules to reduce the size of the separation problem. The core of the preprocessing builds a Gaussian elimination-like procedure. To separate the most violated mg src="/content/j47876m531149061/453_2008_9218_Article_IEq8.gif" alt="$\{0,\frac {1}{2}\}$" align="middle" border="0"> -cut, we formulate the (reduced) problem as integer linear program. Some simple heuristic separation routines complete the algorithmic framework. Computational experiments on benchmark instances show that the combination of preprocessing with exact and/or heuristic separation is a very vital idea to generate strong generic cutting planes for integer linear programs and to reduce the overall computation times of state-of-the-art ILP-solvers.     

Control of complex ecological-economic systems

The paper is devoted to developing methods for control of ecological-economic systems consisting of three hierarchically subordinate subjects of control. In describing the dynamics of a system state, equations in partial derivatives that are solved numerically according to a semi-implicit scheme of the finite-difference method are used. To achieve its main goal (maintenance of an ecological subsystem in stable state), the subject of control of the upper level applies different control methods. Methods of hierarchical control (motivation, enforcement, and persuasion) that differ in the direction of action (on the objective function or domain of admissible controls) are proposed; examples of their use are represented and a comparative analysis of the obtained results is made.     

A Visualization Based Approach for Digital Signature Authentication

We propose a visualization based approach for digital signature authentication. Using our method, the speed and pressure aspects of a digital signature process can be clearly and intuitively conveyed to the user for digital signature authentication. Our design takes into account both the expressiveness and aesthetics of the derived visual patterns. With the visual aid provided by our method, digital signatures can be authenticated with better accuracy than using existing methods—even novices can examine the authenticity of a digital signature in most situations using our method. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we conducted a comprehensive user study which confirms positively the advantages of our approach. Our method can be employed as a new security enhancement measure for a range of business and legal applications in reality which involve digital signature authorization and authentication.     

3D Body Shapes Estimation from Dressed‐Human Silhouettes

Estimation of 3D body shapes from dressed‐human photos is an important but challenging problem in virtual fitting. We propose a novel automatic framework to efficiently estimate 3D body shapes under clothes. We construct a database of 3D naked and dressed body pairs, based on which we learn how to predict 3D positions of body landmarks (which further constrain a parametric human body model) automatically according to dressed‐human silhouettes. Critical vertices are selected on 3D registered human bodies as landmarks to represent body shapes, so as to avoid the time‐consuming vertices correspondences finding process for parametric body reconstruction. Our method can estimate 3D body shapes from dressed‐human silhouettes within 4 seconds, while the fastest method reported previously need 1 minute. In addition, our estimation error is within the size tolerance for clothing industry. We dress 6042 naked bodies with 3 sets of common clothes by physically based cloth simulation technique. To the best of our knowledge, We are the first to construct such a database containing 3D naked and dressed body pairs and our database may contribute to the areas of human body shapes estimation and cloth simulation.
