带平衡约束矩形布局优化问题的深度强化学习算法

带平衡约束的矩形布局问题源于卫星舱设备布局设计,属于组合优化问题。深度强化学习利用奖赏机制,通过数据训练实现高性能决策优化。针对布局优化问题,提出一种基于深度强化学习的新算法DAR及其扩展算法IDAR。DAR用指针网络输出定位顺序,再利用定位机制给出布局结果,算法的时间复杂度是O（n³）;IDAR算法在DAR的基础上引入迭代机制,算法时间复杂度是O（n⁴）,但能给出更好的结果。测试表明DAR算法具有较好的学习能力,用小型布局问题进行求解训练所获得的模型,能有效应用在大型问题上。在两个大规模典型算例的对照实验中,提出算法分别超出和接近目前最优解,具有时间和质量上的优势。     

Fracture mechanics of a shaft-loaded blister of thin flexible membrane on rigid substrate

A shaft-loaded blister test has been developed to measure the interfacial energy W of a thin flexible polymeric film adhered to a rigid substrate. A theoretical analysis is given of an axisymmetric debond (blister) in terms of an external applied load P, tensile stretching modulus E and thickness h of the adhering layer. The fracture mechanics model presented considers both elastic and elastoplastic deformations in the thin film. The intrinsic stable interface debonding process provides an attractive alternative to the conventional adhesion measurement techniques.

A new look at software piracy: Soft lifting primes an inauthentic sense of self,prompting further unethical behavior

Soft lifting refers to the process whereby a legally licensed software program is installed or copied in violation of its licensing agreement. Previous research on this pervasive kind of unethical computer use has mainly focused on the determinants of this unethical act, which are rooted in personal, economic, technological, cultural, socio-political, or legal domains. However, little is known about the symbolic power that soft lifting has on the sense of self. Based on recent advances in behavioral priming, we hypothesized that soft lifting can influence the signals one sends to oneself; more specifically, soft lifting may prime individuals to experience an inauthentic sense of self, which, in turn, prompts further unethical behavior. In Study 1, we showed that participants, primed with the memory of a recent soft lifting experience, cheated more than participants recalling a recent experience of purchasing authentic software or than control participants. Moreover, feelings of inauthenticity mediated the priming effect of soft lifting on dishonest behavior. In Study 2, participants primed with soft lifting showed a greater willingness to purchase a wide range of counterfeit products over authentic products. Besides those antecedents or correlates of soft lifting already identified in the literature, educators should pay more attention to the negative impact of soft lifting on the self-images of users, which may go beyond computer-related behaviors. Priming may provide a new direction for HCI researchers to examine the impact of computer-use-related factors on users' perceptions, motivations, and behaviors.     

The implementation of technical practices and human factors of the toyota production system in different industries

The Toyota Production System (TPS) can result in huge benefits for companies and has been widely implemented around the world. Nevertheless, most adopters emphasize only the technical practices of the TPS, but neglect the critical role of human factors in the implementation of the TPS. Therefore, this study aims at developing an integrated TPS model that fully integrates the technical elements and human elements of the TPS with Total Quality Management (TQM) practices. An empirical study was conducted to confirm the causal relationships among these constructs. In the empirical study, questionnaires were mailed and e‐mailed to 620 companies that had implemented the TPS, and 151 of the completed questionnaires were valid. These 151 respondents were divided into eight categories. The results revealed that the implementation level of each construct was significantly different in each industry. The automobile and motorcycle industries have put a great deal of effort into the application of Humanity, Human Resource Management (HRM), and TQM practices and obtained good results. Other industries, however, ignored the implementation of HRM practices. The results also revealed that the early adopters enjoyed significant benefits from the implementation of the TPS, which led high‐tech companies to start adopting TPS practices and become lean enterprises. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Data-driven facial expression synthesis via Laplacian deformation

Realistic talking heads have important use in interactive multimedia applications. This paper presents a novel framework to synthesize realistic facial animations driven by motion capture data using Laplacian deformation. We first capture the facial expression from a performer, then decompose the motion data into two components: the rigid movement of the head and the change of the facial expression. By making use of the local-detail preserving property of the Laplacian coordinate, we clone the captured facial expression onto a neutral 3D facial model using Laplacian deformation. We choose some expression “independent points” in the facial model as the fixed points when solving the Laplacian deformation equations. Experimental results show that our approach can synthesize realistic facial expressions in real time while preserving the facial details. We compare our method with the state-of-the-art facial expression synthesis methods to verify the advantages of our method. Our approach can be applied in real-time multimedia systems.     

A simple and cost-effective method for fabrication of integrated electronic-microfluidic devices using a laser-patterned PDMS layer

We report a simple and cost-effective method for fabricating integrated electronic-microfluidic devices with multilayer configurations. A CO₂ laser plotter was employed to directly write patterns on a transferred polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, which served as both a bonding and a working layer. The integration of electronics in microfluidic devices was achieved by an alignment bonding of top and bottom electrode-patterned substrates fabricated with conventional lithography, sputtering and lift-off techniques. Processes of the developed fabrication method were illustrated. Major issues associated with this method as PDMS surface treatment and characterization, thickness-control of the transferred PDMS layer, and laser parameters optimization were discussed, along with the examination and testing of bonding with two representative materials (glass and silicon). The capability of this method was further demonstrated by fabricating a microfluidic chip with sputter-coated electrodes on the top and bottom substrates. The device functioning as a microparticle focusing and trapping chip was experimentally verified. It is confirmed that the proposed method has many advantages, including simple and fast fabrication process, low cost, easy integration of electronics, strong bonding strength, chemical and biological compatibility, etc.
