Ill-conditioned performance functions of queueing systems

Shows that for queueing networks with deterministic or discrete service time distributions, the performance functions can be nondifferentiable at a dense subset of a given interval. The authors also show that when the service time densities are supported on small intervals, the performance function derivatives changes rapidly. The authors prove these results for a two-server cyclic network and then point out a potential generality to other queueing networks. The results indicate that the nonsmooth analysis may be useful in the area of stochastic discrete-event systems     

松材线虫病害高光谱时序与敏感特征研究

采用高光谱仪ASD FieldSpec Pro FR,连续观测了健康和发病马尾松针叶的时序高光谱,分析了松材线虫病害光谱的时序特征、敏感时期和敏感特征。结果表明:与健康马尾松相比,病害马尾松时序光谱差异较大;病害首先造成红边区域内光谱反射率减低,然后再出现红边蓝移的2阶段光谱变化规律;感染松材线虫的马尾松9月初已经出现了病态植被典型的光谱特征;近红外平台内最大的一阶微分值、红边内一阶微分的总和(SDr)与蓝边内一阶微分的总和(SDb)的比值等是指示病害发生的显著性高光谱特征。     

在CodeWarrior编译环境下运行μC／OS—Ⅲ

μC／OS-Ⅱ是面向8／16位及低端32位单片机应用的RTOS,而新近推出的μC／OS-Ⅲ则面向高性能32位单片机,如ARMCortex等。以Cortex—M4为内核的Kinetis系列单片机,不仅用于全国大学生飞思卡尔杯智能车竞赛,也用于诸多大学的嵌入式系统教学,官方提供的开发环境是CodeWarrior。本文介绍如何利用CodeWarrior开发环境,将μC／OS-Ⅲ在Kinetis单片机上运行起来,以便将μC／OS-Ⅲ引入教学、科研与应用。     

Retraction of “Developing an integrated display of health data for aging in place”

The following article from Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries, “Developing an Integrated Display of Health Data for Aging in Place,” by Yang Gong and Arpita Chandra, published online on October 20, 2011 in Wiley Online Library ( www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com ), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal Editors‐in‐Chief, Waldemar Karwowski and Gavriel Salvendy, and Publisher Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The retraction has been agreed as these articles were mistakenly published after being rejected.     

Interactive genetic algorithms with large population and semi-supervised learning

Interactive genetic algorithms are effective methods of solving optimization problems with implicit (qualitative) criteria by incorporating a user's intelligent evaluation into traditional evolution mechanisms. The heavy evaluation burden of the user, however, is crucial and limits their applications in complex optimization problems. We focus on reducing the evaluation burden by presenting a semi-supervised learning assisted interactive genetic algorithm with large population. In this algorithm, a population with many individuals is adopted to efficiently explore the search space. A surrogate model built with an improved semi-supervised learning method is employed to evaluate a part of individuals instead of the user to alleviate his/her burden in evaluation. Incorporated with the principles of the improved semi-supervised learning, the opportunities of applying and updating the surrogate model are determined by its confidence degree in estimation, and the informative individuals reevaluated by the user are selected according to the concept of learning from mistakes. We quantitatively analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm and apply it to the design of sunglasses lenses, a representative optimization problem with one qualitative criterion. The empirical results demonstrate the strength of our algorithm in searching for satisfactory solutions and easing the evaluation burden of the user.     

经食道心房调搏的放射性核素心血管造影

本文应用反符合电路剔除调搏脉冲干扰的方法,制成经食道心房调搏心电心音门电路触发装置,用于经食道心房调搏的核素心血管造影。参考Tzivoni标准,当逐级增加调搏心率至140次/min或亚极量心率后发现:冠心病人有调搏后EF降低;急性心肌梗塞病人EF减低更为明显,并呈室壁反向运动。因此,心房调搏核素心血管造影有助于冠心病,特别是心肌梗塞的诊断。

基于Flash的关键变量容错存储技术研究

嵌入式系统中往往需要保存少量复位或掉电后依赖的关键变量,利用处理器片内Flash存储参数已经成为常规选择,但与常规Flash存储器件相比,片内Flash擦除次数更为有限,难以满足系统生命周期要求。研究了如何延长微处理器片内Flash使用寿命以及关键系统变量容错存储技术,针对典型嵌入式系统应用,分析Flash擦写管理机制,基于写磨损均衡算法进行改良,进一步提升系统容错能力。该技术在基于STM32单片机硬件平台进行了测试验证。
