We propose two new antidiffusive schemes for advection (or linear transport), one of them being a mixture of Roe’s Super-Bee
scheme and of the “Ultra-Bee” scheme. We show how to apply these schemes to treat time-dependent first order Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman
equations with discontinuous initial data, possibly infinitely-valued. Numerical tests are proposed, in one and two space
dimensions, in order to validate the methods

We propose three methods for extending the Boosting family of classifiers motivated by the real-life problems we have encountered. First, we propose a semisupervised learning method for exploiting the unlabeled data in Boosting. We then present a novel classification model adaptation method. The goal of adaptation is optimizing an existing model for a new target application, which is similar to the previous one but may have different classes or class distributions. Finally, we present an efficient and effective cost-sensitive classification method that extends Boosting to allow for weighted classes. We evaluated these methods for call classification in the AT&;T VoiceTone® spoken language understanding system. Our results indicate that it is possible to obtain the same classification performance by using 30% less labeled data when the unlabeled data is utilized through semisupervised learning. Using model adaptation we can achieve the same classification accuracy using less than half of the labeled data from the new application. Finally, we present significant improvements in the “important” (i.e., higher weighted) classes without a significant loss in overall performance using the proposed cost-sensitive classification method. 相似文献
Abstract. This contribution introduces MOBSY, a fully integrated, autonomous mobile service robot system. It acts as an automatic dialogue-based
receptionist for visitors to our institute. MOBSY incorporates many techniques from different research areas into one working
stand-alone system. The techniques involved range from computer vision over speech understanding to classical robotics.
Along with the two main aspects of vision and speech, we also focus on the integration aspect, both on the methodological
and on the technical level. We describe the task and the techniques involved. Finally, we discuss the experiences that we
gained with MOBSY during a live performance at our institute. 相似文献
The effects of key parameters on the preparation and regeneration of protoplast from the β-carotene-producing fungus Blakeslea trispora were discussed in this paper, including the combination of various enzymes, mycelial age, digesting time and temperature,
pH value, osmotic stabilizers, pretreatment, culture medium and culture method. Under the condition of mixed enzymes in osmotic
stabilizer (0.6 M NaCl) combined with 2% lysozyme, 3% cellulase and 3% snailase, the highest protoplast yield, as high as
7.48×106 protoplasts/mL, was obtained when mycelial age was 60 h at pH 5.0–6.0 with digesting for 14–16 h at 28 °C. After
purification of the obtained protoplasts, they were regenerated in PDA regenerative medium using bilayer plate culture method.
To validate the usability of the protoplasts, a novel plasmid with green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used in transformation
for easy visual observation. The results showed that the protoplasts prepared by the optimized method were active and applicable
in further gene manipulation experiments.

When a horizontal homogeneous solid is melted from below, convection can be induced in a thermally unstable melt layer. In
this study the onset of buoyancy-driven convection during time-dependent melting is investigated by using similarly transformed
disturbance equations. The critical Rayleigh numbers based on the melt-layer thickness are found numerically for various conditions.
For small superheats, the present predictions approach the well known results of classical Rayleigh-Bénard problems, that
is, critical Rayleigh numbers are located between 1,296 and 1,708, regardless of the Prandtl number. However, for high superheats
the critical Rayleigh number increases with an increase in phase change rate but with decrease in Prandtl number. 相似文献
This study investigated the microstructure and fatigue properties of hydroformed sections of the 5754 and 6063 aluminum alloys.
The second-phase particles in 6063-T7 are identified as a mixture of Al12Fe3Si and Al9Fe2Si2, with a slightly higher fraction of the former. The constituent particles in the 5754 alloy are Al4Mn-type hexagonal compounds, where Mn is partially substituted by various other elements, resulting in Al4(Fe,Mn,Si,Cr). The results show that despite its lower yield strength, the hydroformed 5754 alloy has higher ultimate tensile
strength, ductility, and, more importantly, higher fatigue resistance than the 6063 material. Both crystallographic stage
I and noncrystallographic stage II cracking are found in the 6063-T7 samples, but only stage II cracking is observed in the
5754 alloy. This implies that the low fatigue strength of 6063-T7 is related to its relatively large grain size, resulting
in rapid stage I crack propagation. The higher fatigue lives of the 5754 alloy compared to the 6063 alloy in both the low-
and high-cycle life regimes are due to the increased fatigue-crack-initiation and propagation resistance of the 5754 alloy
and its probable cyclic strain-hardening behavior. 相似文献
Excess body fat is a major risk factor for disease primarily due to its endocrine activity. In recent years several criteria
have been introduced to evaluate this factor. Nevertheless, treatment need is currently assessed only on the basis of an individual's
Body Mass Index (BMI), calculated as body weight (in kg) divided by height in m2. The aim of our study was to determine whether application of the BMI, compared to adiposity-based criteria, results in underestimation
of the number of subjects needing lifestyle intervention. 相似文献
Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA) derived phase angle is increasingly being used as an objective indicator of nutritional status
in advanced cancer. Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) is a subjective method of nutritional status. The objective of this
study was to investigate the association between BIA derived phase angle and SGA in advanced colorectal cancer. 相似文献
Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are listed as carcinogenic and mutagenic priority pollutants, belonging to the environmental endocrine disrupters. Most PAHs in the environment stem from the atmospheric deposition and diesel emission. Consequently, the elimination of PAHs in the off-gases is one of the priority and emerging challenges. Catalytic oxidation has been widely used in the destruction of organic compounds due to its high efficiency (or conversion of reactants), its economic benefits and good applicability.
This study investigates the application of the catalytic oxidation using Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts to decompose PAHs and taking naphthalene (the simplest and least toxic PAH) as a target compound. It studies the relationships between conversion, operating parameters and relevant factors such as treatment temperatures, catalyst sizes and space velocities. Also, a related reaction kinetic expression is proposed to provide a simplified expression of the relevant kinetic parameters.
The results indicate that the Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst used accelerates the reaction rate of the decomposition of naphthalene and decreases the reaction temperature. A high conversion (over 95%) can be achieved at a moderate reaction temperature of 480 K and space velocity below 35,000 h−1. Non-catalytic (thermal) oxidation achieves the same conversion at a temperature beyond 1000 K. The results also indicate that Rideal–Eley mechanism and Arrhenius equation can be reasonably applied to describe the data by using the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetic equation with activation energy of 149.97 kJ/mol and frequency factor equal to 3.26 × 1017 s−1. 相似文献
Magnetization is the key to inspection of a tank floor via the magnetic-flux-leakage (MFL) technique. In order to optimize
the magnetic circuit of the MFL detector and obtain the best detection effects, the influences of the magnet size on the floor
magnetization condition, the gap magnetic flux density, and the magnetic force were studied with the help of the finite element
method (FEM) and the effects of some other parameters, such as the magnet pole spacing and pole-piece thickness, on the signal-to-noise
ratio were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that variation of the magnet width affects the magnetization much more
than variation of the magnet thickness and that the detector can reach a trade-off between the magnetization effects and the
driving force when the magnet is about 30 mm thick and 40 mm wide. On condition that the floor has reached its magnetizing
saturation, an increase in the magnet-pole spacing and the pole-piece thickness can improve the testing sensitivity and the
signal-to-noise ratio.
