Attribute reduction in interval-valued information systems based on information entropies

Interval-valued data appear as a way to represent the uncertainty affecting the observed values. Dealing with interval-valued information systems is helpful to generalize the applications of rough set theory. Attribute reduction is a key issue in analysis of interval-valued data. Existing attribute reduction methods for single-valued data are unsuitable for interval-valued data. So far, there have been few studies on attribute reduction methods for interval-valued data. In this paper, we propose a framework for attribute reduction in interval-valued data from the viewpoint of information theory. Some information theory concepts, including entropy, conditional entropy, and joint entropy, are given in interval-valued information systems. Based on these concepts, we provide an information theory view for attribute reduction in interval-valued information systems. Consequently, attribute reduction algorithms are proposed. Experiments show that the proposed framework is effective for attribute reduction in interval-valued information systems.     

Physical layer security of underlay cognitive radio using maximal ratio combining

We investigate the secrecy outage performance of maximal ratio combining (MRC) in cognitive radio networks over Rayleigh fading channels. In a single-input multiple-output wiretap system, we consider a secondary user (SU-TX) that transmits confidential messages to another secondary user (SU-RX) equipped with M (M ≥ 1) antennas where the MRC technique is adopted to improve its received signal-to-noise ratio. Meanwhile, an eavesdropper equipped with N (N ≥ 1) antennas adopts the MRC scheme to overhear the information between SU-TX and SU-RX. SU-TX adopts the underlay strategy to guarantee the service quality of the primary user without spectrum sensing. We derive the closed-form expressions for an exact and asymptotic secrecy outage probability.     

广西糖料蔗小管出流灌溉方式不同灌溉定额研究成果分析

通过小管出流灌溉方式,采用不同灌溉定额:150 m3/亩、250 m3/亩、350 m3/亩,研究不同灌溉定额条件下糖料蔗的出苗率、分蘖率、株高、茎粗、叶面积、蔗汁锤度、水分生存率、水分利用效益等糖料蔗生长指标。试验证明:糖料蔗对养分的吸收强度不仅与养分在土壤中的存在状态有关,还与甘蔗不同生长阶段的土壤水分、湿度有关。糖料蔗在不同的生长阶段对灌水量也有不同的要求,在不同时期对糖料蔗进行有效、合理的灌水,对糖料蔗的生长发育起着极其重要的作用。而在250 m3/亩灌溉定额条件下,更能促进糖料蔗的生长发育,从而提高糖料蔗的品质形状和产量。

Move blocking strategy applied to re-entrant manufacturing line scheduling

Model predictive control (MPC)-based approach to fab-wide scheduling has been suggested to solve constraint-aware production optimization and in-process inventory level control simultaneously at each scheduling instance. However, application of this approach to real fab suffers from computational difficulties brought by the need to solve a huge optimization problem on-line as real fab scheduling problems are characterized by long cycle times, multiple product types, hundreds of machines/processing steps and re-entrant product flows. This study explores the use of an offset-blocking strategy combined with a modified recursive least square (RLS) estimation in the fab-wide scheduler, in order to alleviate the difficulty. The strategy is tested on a modified version of published case study called Intel Mini-Fab (IMF) problem. Despite its simplicity, the blocking strategy showed excellent performance in the face of realistic demand changes and plant/model mismatch.     

Experiment and multiobjective optimization design of tape-spring hinges

Flexible tape-spring hinges can be folded elastically and are able to self-deploy by releasing stored strain energy with fewer component parts and slight weights. This study presents a detailed investigation of the folding and deployment of single-layer tape-spring (SLTS) hinges and double-layer tape-spring (DLTS) hinges under pure bend loading. The material properties of tape-spring hinges are measured using an INSTRON machine. A DLTS hinge construction is created, and its moment-rotation relationship during quasi-static deployment is measured. An experiment is conducted to verify the validation of the numerical models for the DLTS hinges. The quasi-static deployment behavior of SLTS hinges and DLTS hinges is then analyzed using nonlinear finite element ABAQUS/Explicit solver, starting from the complete folded configuration. The DLTS hinge has good quasi-static deployment performances with regard to maximum stress (S _m ), steady moment (M ^*) and the peak moment (M _d ) during the DLTS hinge quasi-static deployment. In addition, the sampling designs of the DLTS hinges are created based on a three-level full factorial design of experiments (DOE) method. The surrogate models of S _m , M ^* and M _d of the DLTS hinges are derived using response surface method (RSM) to reduce the computational cost of quasi-static folding and deployment of numerical simulations. The Multiobjective optimization design (MOD) of the DLTS hinge is performed using modified non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) algorithm to achieve the optimal design. The finite element models for the optimal design based on numerical method are established to validate the optimization results.     

基于磁耦合谐振的无线电能传输系统负载特性研究

为研究负载对无线电能传输系统传输性能的影响,建立了基于磁耦合谐振的无线电能传输系统的电路模型,利用电路耦合理论推导出在不同距离上为抑制频率分裂现象所需的最小负载以及当接收功率最大时的最佳匹配负载计算模型,且最佳匹配负载总是大于最小负载。仿真结果表明,对于不同的耦合系数,增大负载可以抑制频率分裂现象的出现;当接收功率达到最大值时,最佳匹配负载会因耦合系数的不同而改变,且总会有一个最佳匹配负载与之对应。这一结论为无线电能传输系统的负载选择提供了理论指导。
