Timing analysis of MSC specifications with asynchronous concatenation

Message Sequence Chart (MSC) is a graphical and textual language for describing the interactions between system components, and MSC specifications (MSSs) are a combination of a set of basic MSCs (bMSCs) and a High-level MSC that describes potentially iterating and branching system behavior by specifying the compositions of basic MSCs, which offer an intuitive and visual way of specifying design requirements. With concurrent, timing, and asynchronous properties, MSSs are amenable to errors, and their analysis is important and difficult. This paper deals with timing analysis of MSC specifications with asynchronous concatenation. For an MSC specification, we require that for any loop, its first node be flexible in execution time and its any associated external timing constraint be enforced on the entire loop. Such an MSC specification is called a flexible loop-closed MSC specification (FLMSS). We show that for FLMSSs, the reachability analysis and bounded delay analysis problems can be solved efficiently by linear programming. The solutions have been implemented into our tool TASS and evaluated by experiments.     

Handling multiple objectives with biogeography-based optimization

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary optimization method inspired by biogeography. In this paper, BBO is extended to a multi-objective optimization, and a biogeography-based multi-objective optimization (BBMO) is introduced, which uses the cluster attribute of islands to naturally decompose the problem. The proposed algorithm makes use of nondominated sorting approach to improve the convergence ability effciently. It also combines the crowding distance to guarantee the diversity of Pareto optimal solutions. We compare the BBMO with two representative state-of-the-art evolutionary multi-objective optimization methods, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and archive-based micro genetic algorithm (AMGA) in terms of three metrics. Simulation results indicate that in most cases, the proposed BBMO is able to find much better spread of solutions and converge faster to true Pareto optimal fronts than NSGA-II and AMGA do.     

改进的遮挡条件下瞳孔检测方法

受到眼睑、睫毛、反光等干扰,提取的瞳孔往往无法近似成标准的椭圆,给瞳孔精确检测带来了难度。针对遮挡问题,提出了一种改进的遮挡瞳孔精确检测方法,该方法首先获取瞳孔图像的感兴趣区域,在对该区域进行阈值分割的基础上,通过滤波去噪和扫描线法去除光源反光的影响;根据沿遮挡瞳孔的分界线进行水平旋转,应用内接平行四边形法确定瞳孔的中心;根据圆形检测理论,提出一种中心修正算法,将求得的两个圆的交点作为眼睑与瞳孔的交点,计算出旋转角度,从而精化瞳孔中心的定位;最后利用五点法计算得到的瞳孔椭圆参数作为初始值,通过最小化拟合椭圆与边缘点之间的欧氏距离,使得该椭圆在非线性最小二乘意义下是最优的。实验结果表明,该方法具有良好的鲁棒性和准确性,在遮挡不超过瞳孔面积一半的情况下,能得到较为精确的瞳孔位置和边界。

Magnetic properties and microstructural characteristics of bulk Nd–Al–Fe–Co glassy alloys

Bulk Nd–Al–Fe–Co glassy alloys with diameter up to 5 mm were investigated by magnetic measurements, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) at room temperature. The results from the measurement of vibrating sample magnetometer show that these samples with compositions Nd₆₅Al₁₀Fe_25-xCo_x (x=0–10 at.%) and Nd₆₀Al₁₀Fe₂₀Co₁₀ display hard magnetic properties with H_C of 300 kAm⁻¹, M_S of 10 Am² kg⁻¹, and M_r of 7 Am² kg⁻¹. The MFM measurements of the Nd₆₀Al₁₀Fe₂₀Co₁₀ bulk metallic glass (BMG) reveal the existence of magnetic domains with a period of about 0.36 μm, and the ordered clusters with the averaged size of about 5 nm was observed by the HREM on the sample. The domain structure or cluster is believed to be associated with the appearance of hard-magnetic properties in this alloy system. The existence of the large-size domains demonstrates that magnetic moment of a great deal of ordered atomic clusters in the BMG has been aligned by exchange-coupling.

Current Understandings on Magnesium Deficiency and Future Outlooks for Sustainable Agriculture

The productivity of agricultural produce is fairly dependent on the availability of nutrients and efficient use. Magnesium (Mg²⁺) is an essential macronutrient of living cells and is the second most prevalent free divalent cation in plants. Mg²⁺ plays a role in several physiological processes that support plant growth and development. However, it has been largely forgotten in fertilization management strategies to increase crop production, which leads to severe reductions in plant growth and yield. In this review, we discuss how the Mg²⁺ shortage induces several responses in plants at different levels: morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular. Additionally, the Mg²⁺ uptake and transport mechanisms in different cellular organelles and the role of Mg²⁺ transporters in regulating Mg²⁺ homeostasis are also discussed. Overall, in this review, we critically summarize the available information about the responses of Mg deficiency on plant growth and development, which would facilitate plant scientists to create Mg²⁺-deficiency-resilient crops through agronomic and genetic biofortification.
