Primal or dual: which promises faster spatiotemporal search?

The existing predictive spatiotemporal indexes can be classified into two categories, depending on whether they are based on the primal or dual methodology. Although we have gained considerable empirical knowledge about various access methods, currently there is only limited understanding on the theoretical characteristics of the two methodologies. In fact, the experimental results in different papers even contradict each other, regarding the relative superiority of the primal and dual techniques. This paper presents a careful study on the query performance of general primal and dual indexes, and reveals important insight into the behavior of each technique. In particular, we mathematically establish the conditions that determine the superiority of each methodology, and provide rigorous justification for well-known observations that have not been properly explained in the literature. Our analytical findings also resolve the contradiction in the experiments of previous work.     

Physiological and psychophysical responses in handling maximum acceptable weights under different footwear--floor friction conditions

A study on combined manual materials-handling tasks performed on floors under three friction levels was conducted. Eight male subjects participated in the study. The maximum acceptable weight of handling, including lifting, carrying for 3m, lowering, and walking 3m back at twice per minute was determined. The subject then performed the same tasks for 10 min. Heart rate, Vo2, energy efficiency, perceived sense of slip, and rating of perceived exertion for whole body strain were measured. The results showed that the effects of friction level on the maximum acceptable weights of handling, perceived sense of slip, Vo2, and energy efficiency were statistically significant (p相似文献

Self-clocking principle for congestion control in the Internet

The self-clocking principle (SCP) of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) had been analyzed for a network implementing a per-flow buffering scheme. The ideal SCP is yet unknown for the Internet which implements a first-in–first-out buffering scheme. This paper derives an ideal SCP for the Internet by formulating the traffic transmission control as a typical control problem and then solving it by a control-theoretic approach. The ideal SCP reveals the defect of the SCP being deployed in the Internet that it is insufficient to avoid congestion by adjusting the packet effective window based on records of the outstanding packets of a single source; instead outstanding packets from other sources also have to be counted. The ideal SCP also reveals the difficulties of developing and implementing an effective self-clocking scheme for congestion control in the Internet.     

Accurate mirror-based camera pose estimation with explicit geometric meanings

An accurate closed form solution is proposed to estimate camera pose by several mirrored reference object images acquired via a planar mirror under different unknown poses. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, our method is more accurate when there are more than three images and has explicit geometric meanings. This method also properly handles cases in which some of the mirror poses are parallel. The central idea is to minimize an error metric based on all reflections of rotation, which enables the camera rotation to be estimated directly by SVD of sum of mirrored camera rotations. After that, the camera translation is computed by solving a large system of linear equations to minimize object space collinearity error. Both synthesized data and real data experiments show the advantages of our approach.     

泥金漆画与松田权六

中国是个文明古国 ,国人都知道在天然生漆的髹物上敷以金银粉末概称为泥金漆画。这一宝贵的技艺 ,于唐代流传到邻邦日本。日本名之为“莳绘”。泥金漆画 ,是在髹好的器物上先用漆绘好图样 ,待漆末干燥时撒上金 (或银 )粉 ,然后又在上面髹以薄漆 ,漆膜实干后用木炭磨平 ,使之泽光如镜。日本的《竹取物语》记载 ,泥金漆画不仅用之装饰家具漆器 ,而且在屋舍的墙壁上也髹以漆 ,绘以泥金画。这一技法 ,一直流传到近代 ,始终未衰颓过。要说日本的科学较先进 ,取而代之的事是极容易的。但是 ,这个国家很重视传统泥金漆画的保护与流传。不像我们中国…

毛泽东的社会主义发展阶段思想与社会主义初级阶段理论

毛泽东在领导中国人民探索建设社会主义的过程中，对社会主义发展阶段问题进行了深入的思考，提出了许多重要的思想。这些宝贵的思想成为我们党形成社会主义初级阶段理论的思想来源之一。探讨毛泽东与社会主义初级阶段理论的关系，有助于我们加深理解毛泽东思想及其和邓小平理论之间的渊源关系。
