Spatial variability of thermal regimes and other environmental determinants of stream fish communities in the Great Lakes Basin,Ontario, Canada

Temperature is one of the most important environmental variables in stream ecosystems because it affects the growth, survival and distribution of stream biota. This study examined if the spatial variability of thermal regimes and 18 other environmental variables were associated with fish communities in watersheds throughout the Great Lakes Basin (GLB), Ontario. The thermal regimes were defined as regimes 1, 2 and 3 and had maximum water temperatures of 26.4, 28.4 and 23.5°C, and spring warming rates of 0.20, 0.12 and 0.10 °C d^?1, respectively. The spatial variability of the thermal regimes (VTR) within the watersheds was summarized into four VTR groups: S1, S2, M23 and M123. Stream sites in S1 watersheds had temperatures characteristic of regime 1 whereas stream sites in S2 watersheds followed regime 2. M23 watersheds had sites with a mix of regimes 2 and 3 whereas M123 watersheds had all three thermal regimes at sites throughout watersheds. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that 16% of the variation in fish communities was related to the spatial VTR in the watersheds. Forward selection CCA indicated that elevation, the S1 VTR group, sparse forest cover, wetland area, base flow index (groundwater discharge potential), flow and industrial stress explained 42% of the variance in the fish communities. Simplified indicator species analysis (ISA) showed that different species could be used as indicators for each of the VTR groups. Human activities such as industrial development, deforestation, groundwater withdrawal and flow alteration all may affect the environmental variables related to stream fish communities.

一种基于分段测量的Internet端到端性能参数估计方法

传统的基于测量的Internet性能参数估计要求测量点是端到端路径的起点和终点,这一方面使得测量和估计带有很大盲目性,增加了网络流量;另一方面会导致测量方法难于实施,估计结果不准确。提出了基于分段测量的思想,对ITU-T定义的延迟、延迟变化、丢包率和错误率4个参数进行测量和估计。由于测量是分段进行的,每次测量值都可应用于多条端到端路径的性能参数估计,因此降低了盲目性并大大减少了网络流量。为验证本方法的性能,基于PlanetLab平台设计和实现了生成器、性能参数测量机和结果收集器。通过在全球的100多个节点上的部署和为期一个月的运行证明了该方法便于实施,并且具有较高的准确性。

基于切削成形能力模型的加工特征识别方法

为了实现CAD与CAPP系统的有效集成,提出了以切削成形能力模型为基础的加工特征识别方法.通过引入成形函数揭示了切削成形过程的核心要素;据此提出切削模式概念,构建了以切削模式为核心的切削成形能力模型,实现加工表面到加工方法的映射.该模型应用于加工特征识别,为零件表面生成可行的加工方法集合;在此基础上,以提高零件的加工效率为目标建立优化模型,为每一个表面筛选出合适的加工方法,并将同一次装夹下使用同一把刀具加工的表面聚集为一个加工特征,从而实现加工特征的识别.最后通过实例测试验证了文中方法的正确性和有效性.该方法能有效地解决现有特征识别中存在的鲁棒性较差、相交特征识别困难等问题.     

A simple linear time certifying LBFS-based algorithm for recognizing trivially perfect graphs and their complements

We introduce a simple, linear time algorithm for recognizing trivially perfect (TP) graphs. It improves upon the algorithm of Yan et al. [J.-H. Yan, J.-J. Chen, G.J. Chang, Quasi-threshold graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 69 (3) (1996) 247–255] in that it is certifying, producing a P₄ or a C₄ when the graph is not TP. In addition, our algorithm can be easily modified to recognize the complement of TP graphs (co-TP) in linear time as well. It is based on lexicographic BFS, and in particular the technique of partition refinement, which has been used in the recognition of many other graph classes [D.G. Corneil, Lexicographic breadth first search—a survey, in: WG 2004, in: Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci., vol. 3353, Springer, 2004, pp. 1–19].     

Improvement of causal analysis using multivariate statistical process control

Statistical process control (SPC) is a conventional means of monitoring software processes and detecting related problems, where the causes of detected problems can be identified using causal analysis. Determining the actual causes of reported problems requires significant effort due to the large number of possible causes. This study presents an approach to detect problems and identify the causes of problems using multivariate SPC. This proposed method can be applied to monitor multiple measures of software process simultaneously. The measures which are detected as the major impacts to the out-of-control signals can be used to identify the causes where the partial least squares (PLS) and statistical hypothesis testing are utilized to validate the identified causes of problems in this study. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the correlated indices can be monitored simultaneously to facilitate the causal analysis of a software process.
