Incorporating mutation scheme into krill herd algorithm for global numerical optimization

Recently, Gandomi and Alavi proposed a robust meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, called Krill Herd (KH), for global optimization. To improve the performance of the KH algorithm, harmony search (HS) is applied to mutate between krill during the process of krill updating instead of physical diffusion used in KH. A novel hybrid meta-heuristic optimization approach HS/KH is proposed to solve global numerical optimization problem. HS/KH combines the exploration of harmony search (HS) with the exploitation of KH effectively, and hence, it can generate the promising candidate solutions. The detailed implementation procedure for this improved meta-heuristic method is also described. Fourteen standard benchmark functions are applied to verify the effects of these improvements, and it is demonstrated that, in most cases, the performance of this hybrid meta-heuristic method (HS/KH) is superior to, or at least highly competitive with, the standard KH and other population-based optimization methods, such as ACO, BBO, DE, ES, GA, HS, KH, PSO, and SGA. The effect of the HS/FA parameters is also analyzed.     

A new Chinese character recognition approach based on the fuzzy clustering analysis

In this paper, a new Chinese character recognition (CCR) approach is proposed based on the fuzzy clustering analysis theory. Chinese characters (CCs) have various similar radicals and stroke components, which make it difficult to recognize features in the CCR process. At the same time, the recognition accuracy and the efficiency are lower when the objects to be recognized are complex. In order to solve these problems, a fuzzy clustering analysis method is introduced to enhance the computing efficiency. At first, the CCs including learning samples and testing samples are transformed into binarization templates in the form of matrixes. Then, the minimum distance algorithm is applied to calculate ‘distances’ between the testing sample templates and the learning sample templates. At last, the character recognition can be achieved by searching the minimum distance from the results. The experiment results of the CCR process can prove the effectiveness and accuracy of the new method.     

Relative image similarity learning with contextual information for Internet cross-media retrieval

With the fast explosive rate of the amount of image data on the Internet, how to efficiently utilize them in the cross-media scenario becomes an urgent problem. Images are usually accompanied with contextual textual information. These two heterogeneous modalities are mutually reinforcing to make the Internet content more informative. In most cases, visual information can be regarded as an enhanced content of the textual document. To make image-to-image similarity being more consistent with document-to-document similarity, this paper proposes a method to learn image similarities according to the relations of the accompanied textual documents. More specifically, instead of using the static quantitative relations, rank-based learning procedure by employing structural SVM is adopted in this paper, and the ranking structure is established by comparing the relative relations of textual information. The learning results are in more accordance with the human’s recognition. The proposed method in this paper can be used not only for the image-to-image retrieval, but also for cross-modality multimedia, where a query expansion framework is proposed to get more satisfactory results. Extensive experimental evaluations on large scale Internet dataset validate the performance of the proposed methods.

高效节能热泵错流多效蒸发复杂系统

为了大幅降低错流多效蒸发过程的能耗,首次将蒸汽喷射式热泵技术、冷凝水闪蒸和溶液闪蒸等3种节能措施同时运用到错流多效蒸发系统中,并建立了用矩阵方程描述的该系统的数学模型。模型具有很强的通用性,可实现热泵在任意效抽汽的功能,可简化为只有其中若干种节能措施组合或无上述节能措施的错流、并流、逆流多效蒸发系统的模型。在满足约束条件的前提下,模型存在最佳的热泵喷射系数和抽汽位置,同时采用上述3种节能措施且在最佳条件下模型是高效节能的。浓缩氢氧化钠溶液的热泵错流五效蒸发系统的模拟结果表明,当热泵的喷射系数为0.15、抽汽位置在第2效,采用冷凝水闪蒸和溶液闪蒸时系统节省的生蒸汽消耗量高达32.51%。     

Poly(Vinyl Pyrrolidone), a Dispersant for Non-Aqueous Processing of Silicon Carbide

In this paper, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was selected as a dispersant for preparation of high concentrated silicon carbide (SiC) slurries in an ethanol (EtOH)/methyl ethylene ketone (MEK) solvent system. The interactions between (1) solvent and powders, (2) the solvent and dispersant, and (3) dispersant and powder were characterized in terms of adsorption and viscosity measurement. It was evidenced that the dispersion of SiC slurries was highly dependent on the solvent composition. Well-stabilized SiC slurries could be obtained using PVP as a dispersant in EtOH/MEK media with the content of EtOH in the 40–50 wt% range. The optimal dosage of PVP as a dispersant was at a PVP/SiC mass ratio of 17 mg/g. Results showed that PVP was an effective dispersant for SiC in EtOH/MEK media.

羟丙基糯米粉糊的特性及应用初探

研究了羟丙基糯米粉糊的性质，以及流变特性和温度影响流变特性的规律，并对其在蚝油食品中作为增稠稳定剂的应用做了初步研究。结果表明，糯米粉经羟丙基化后，凝沉性更弱，受热易于成糊和分散，糊的粘度提高，冻融稳定性极佳，透明度大为提高，但是抗剪切稳定性反而降低。在实验测定的温度下，羟丙基糯米粉糊呈现假塑性流体的特征且假塑性随醚化程度的提高而增强。应用试验表明其增稠效果好、稳定性高，可用做增稠稳定剂。
