Effect of Elastic Energy due to Atomic Size Factor on Ordering and Decomposition Behaviour of Binary Solid Solutions

A theory recently developed by the present authors is applied to the study of the effect of elastic energy due to atomic size factor on the transformation behaviour of binary solid solutions. lt is found that elastic interaction energy (EIE), which is a part of the total elastic energy plays a key role in both ordering elastic interaction ordering (EIO) and spinodal decomposition. The present study gives a reasonable explanation to the historical dilemmas, "elastic energy paradox" and "atomic size factor paradox . By solving these confusing problems, the coexistence of ordering (EIO) and decomposition, which has been regarded as impossible by conventional theories. can be well understood. The mechanism is as follows: lowering of elastic energy demands EIO, and such an ordering provides a driving force for spinodal decomposition. Therefore, in alloys with large atomic size factor, spinodal decomposition is preceded and induced by ordering. Ordering and spinodal decomposition are thus closely related processes to each other     

Comparison of the RF MEMS switches with dielectric layers on the bridge’s lower surface and on the transmission line

Previously, we proposed that the dielectric layer of RF MEMS switch can be fabricated either on the transmission line, as traditional switches, or on the lower surface of the bridge. This paper presents a detailed comparison of the RF MEMS switches with different positions of dielectric layer. Through theoretically analyzing the physical model of fringing capacitance, it is revealed that different positions of dielectric layer can result in different switch capacitances. Therefore, the change of d...     

Theory and techniques of data mining in CGF behavior modeling

For the large quantity of data,rules and models generated in the course of computer generated forces (CGFs) behavior modeling,the common analytical methods are statistical methods based on the tactical rules,tactical doctrine and empirical knowledge.However,from the viewpoint of data mining,we can find many of these analytical methods are also each-and-every different data mining methods.In this paper,we survey the data mining theory and techniques that have appeared in the course of CGF behavior modeling f...     

Dynamically modulated intensity interrogation scheme using waveguide coupled surface plasmon resonance sensors

An electro-optically modulated intensity interrogation method based on tunable waveguide coupled surface plasmon resonance sensors has been proposed. It has been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the proposed scheme can enable sensitive measurement of measurand variations. By modulating the refractive index in the waveguide layer, this interrogation method yields modulated signal whose amplitude is related to measurand's refractive index. This amplitude modulated signal offers a higher signal to noise ratio and eliminates additive noise in the sensor system. A preliminary investigation using saline buffers with different NaCl concentrations shows a resolution of 2.3 × 10^?6 refractive index unit by our approach. Resolution can be controlled by the amplitude of the applied modulation voltage and can be further enhanced by optimizing the device structure or improving the electro-optical (E-O) coefficient of the E-O material. This approach is simple, stable, and promising for low-cost or multi-channel SPR biosensor applications.     

Robustness of fuzzy operators in environments with random perturbations

In many applications, such as intelligent decision systems, there are usually random perturbations caused by the constant changing of real situations, thus the analysis of the robustness with respect to random perturbations is practically important. In the side of fuzzy methods, a corresponding problem arises: will a small random perturbation of fuzzy input cause a big variance of fuzzy output? This paper study the robustness of fuzzy schemes in environments with random perturbations. It focuses on fuzzy algebraic operators, and proposes two methods to analyze their robustness in environments with random perturbations. The effectiveness and features of the methods are shown by simulations.     

Analysis and application of Bio-Inspired Multi-Net Security Model

With the rapid development of network technologies and deteriorating of network environment, traditional single-net security system cannot satisfy the security requirement. The excellent security performance of biological systems impels the bio-inspired network security theory to be a hot research area currently. Based on Bio-inspired Multidimensional Network Security Model we have put forward, we have advanced Bio-inspired Multi-Net Security system by implementing the functional distribution of different subnets of different transient states in Multi-Net Paralleling structure. Firstly, parameter estimation and modified algorithms of Hidden Markov Model are introduced to construct the mathematical mode of B-MNS; secondly, the integrated performance of our modified B-MNS has been tested and its simulation has been carried out. So the feasibility, validity and high efficiency of our model have been demonstrated theoretically, and practically.     

Analysis by data mining in the emergency medicine triage database at a Taiwanese regional hospital

“Emergency medicine” is the front line of medical service a hospital provides; also it is the department people seek medical care from immediately after an emergency happens. The statistics by the Department of Health, Executive Yuan, indicate that over years, the number of people at the emergency department has been increasing. The US has introduced and practiced the triage system in the emergency medicine in 1960, whereby to aid the emergency department in allocating the patients, to give them appropriate medical care by the fast decision of the nurses and doctors in case of the patients’ seriousness through their judgment.This study takes on the knowledge contained in the massive data of unknown characteristics in the triage database at a Taiwanese regional hospital, using the cluster analysis and the rough set theory as tools for data mining to extract, with the analysis software ROSE2 (Rough Sets Data Explorer) and through rule induction technique, the imprecise, uncertain and vague information of rules from the massive database, and builds the model that is capable of simplifying massive data while maintaining the accuracy in classifying rules. After analyzing and evaluating the knowledge obtained from relevant mining in the hospitals past medical data for the consumption of emergency medical resources, this thesis proposes suggestions as reference for the hospitals in subsequent elevation of medical quality and decrease in operative costs.
