Test of local Lorenz invariance using a double-cavity laser system

We report the results of testing the local Lorentz invariance during five-month operation of a double-cavity laser system, where one cavity operates in a free generation mode while the frequency of the second cavity is stabilized with a nonlinear ultra-narrow absorption resonance of the methane molecule. An interpretation of the experimental results is given on the basis of the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl formalism.

Hybrid Well-balanced WENO Schemes with Different Indicators for Shallow Water Equations

In (J. Comput. Phys. 229: 8105–8129, 2010), Li and Qiu investigated the hybrid weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes with different indicators for Euler equations of gas dynamics. In this continuation paper, we extend the method to solve the one- and two-dimensional shallow water equations with source term due to the non-flat bottom topography, with a goal of obtaining the same advantages of the schemes for the Euler equations, such as the saving computational cost, essentially non-oscillatory property for general solution with discontinuities, and the sharp shock transition. Extensive simulations in one- and two-dimensions are provided to illustrate the behavior of this procedure.     

Cytoplasm and nucleus segmentation in cervical smear images using Radiating GVF Snake

A Radiating Gradient Vector Flow (RGVF) Snake aiming at accurate extraction of both the nucleus and cytoplasm from a single-cell cervical smear image is proposed. After preprocessing, the areas in the image are roughly clustered into nucleus, cytoplasm and the background by a spatial K-means clustering algorithm. After initial contours are extracted, the image is segmented using RGVF. RGVF involves a new edge map computation method and a stack-based refinement, and is thus robust to contaminations and can effectively locate the obscure boundaries. The boundaries can also be correctly traced even if there are interferences near the cytoplasm and nucleus regions. Experiments performed on the Herlev dataset, which contains 917 images show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Node trust evaluation in mobile ad hoc networks based on multi-dimensional fuzzy and Markov SCGM(1, 1) model

Due to the nature of distribution and self-organization, mobile ad hoc networks rely on cooperation between nodes to transfer information. One of the key factors to ensure high communication quality is an efficient assessment scheme for risks and trust of choosing next potential cooperative nodes. Trust model, an abstract psychological cognitive process, is one of the most complex concepts in social relationships, involving factors such as assumptions, expectations and behaviors. All of the above make it difficult to quantify and forecast trust accurately. In this paper, based on the theories of fuzzy recognition with feedback, SCGM(1, 1) model and Markov chain, we present a pattern of prediction making. The analysis and experimental computation show that this scheme is efficient in trust prediction for ad hoc networks.     

A bootstrap approach for lower injury levels of the risk curves

Survival analysis is widely applied to develop injury risk curves from biomechanical data. To obtain more accurate estimation of confidence intervals of parameters, bootstrap method was evaluated by a designed simulation process. Four censoring schemes and various sample sizes were considered to investigate failure time parameters corresponding to low-level injury probabilities. In the numerical simulations, the confidence interval ranges developed by bootstrapping were about two-third of the corresponding ranges calculated by asymptotical normal approximation and showed highest reduction for censored datasets with smaller sample size (≤ 40). In analysis of two experimental datasets with reduced sample sizes and mixed censored data, it was shown that the bootstrapping reduce significantly the confidence intervals as well. The results presented in this study recommend using bootstrapping in development of more accurate confidence intervals for risk curves in injury biomechanics, which consequently will lead to better regulations and safer vehicle designs.

Development of a fish‐based index of biotic integrity (FIBI) for monitoring riverine ecosystems in the Lake Victoria drainage Basin,Kenya

The long term monitoring of aquatic ecosystems based on chemical analysis is expensive resulting in a lack of time series data for management purposes thus necessitating the need for new cost effective methodologies. This study developed a fish‐based index of biotic integrity (FIBI) for monitoring environmental conditions in riverine ecosystems within the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya. The fish fauna in the basin is poorly studied, less diverse and ecologically specialized than the temperate fauna that provided the origins of the Index of Biotic Integrity. Fish samples were collected by electrofishing from 24 sites during baseflow periods in February, March and July 2004. Validation data were collected from 7 sites with varying levels of degradation. Fish samples were identified, counted and grouped into different trophic groups, relative tolerance to pollution, habitat guild and whether exotic or native to riverine environment. Thirty‐three candidate metrics were evaluated for responsiveness to habitat quality and twelve were selected for inclusion in the final index. The index classified 6 of the 7 validation sites according to their levels of degradation. As a bioassessment tool, the index was useful in laying the basis for long‐term monitoring of rivers in the Lake Victoria drainage basin. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
