改进的一对一支持向量机多分类算法

支持向量机的一对一多分类算法具有良好的性能,但该算法在分类时存在不可分区域,影响了该方法的应用.因此,提出一种一对一与基于紧密度判决相结合的多分类方法,使用一对一算法分类,采用基于紧密度决策解决不可分区,依据样本到类中心之间的距离和基于kNN (k nearest neighbor)的样本分布情况结合的方式构建判别函数来确定类别归属.使用UCI (university of California Irvine)数据集做测试,测试结果表明,该算法能有效地解决不可分区域问题,而且表现出比其它算法更好的性能.     

基于半监督话题模型的用户查询日志命名实体挖掘

基于用户查询日志的命名实体挖掘,目标是从用户查询日志中挖掘具有指定类别的命名实体。已有研究工作提出一种基于种子实体的挖掘方法,利用实体类别与候选实体之间的模板分布相似性来对候选实体进行排序。然而该挖掘方法忽略了命名实体具有歧义性、查询模板具有多义性和未标注实体信息,因而不能够有效的对候选实体进行排序。该文采用半监督话题模型,利用查询模板之间的关系来学习实体类别的模板分布,进而改善候选实体的排序效果。实验结果表明了该文提出方法的有效性。

Prediction method for October 2003 solar storm

Aiming at two intense shock events on October 28 and 29, 2003, this paper presents a two-step method, which combines synoptic analysis of space weather ——“observing” and quantitative prediction ——“palpating”, and then uses it to test predictions. In the first step of “observing”, on the basis of observations of the solar source surface magnetic field, interplanetary scintillation (IPS) and ACE spacecraft, we find that the propagation of the shocks is asymmetric relative to the normal direction of their solar sources, and the Earth is located near the direction of the fastest speed and the greatest energy of the shocks. As the two fast ejection shock events, the fast explosion of coronal mass of the extremely high temperature, the strong magnetic field, and the high speed background solar wind are also helpful to their rapid propagation. In the second step of “palpating”, we adopt a new membership function of the fast shock events for the ISF method. The predicted results show that for the onset time of the geomagnetic disturbance, the relative errors between the observational and the predicted results are 1.8% and 6.7%; and for the magnetic disturbance magnitude, the relative errors are 4.1% and 3.1%, re- spectively. Furthermore, the comparison among the predicted results of our two-step method with those of five other prevailing methods shows that the two-step method is advantageous. The results tell us that understanding the physical features of shock propagation thoroughly is of great importance in improving the prediction precision.

Bioelectrodynamics in living organisms

This article introduces an interdisciplinary subject of bioelectrodynamics in living organisms and its related research challenges and opportunities. Bioelectrodynamics in living organisms is aimed to reveal critical roles of electromagnetism and mechanics in biology, to correlate biophysical functions of living organisms with biochemical processes at the cellular level, and to introduce theoretical basis and methodology, such as modeling and simulations, for stimulating technical innovations and promoting technology development in biomedicine as well as for the study of human healthcare issues related to environments among others in our modern society. The article reviews some important issues in bioelectrodynamic modeling. This includes the modeling of living cells, blood, bones and soft tissues that may have unique properties, such as active control, regulation and remodeling capabilities that are completely different from those of conventionally man-made materials. Possible biological effects and potential biomedical usages of endogenous and exogenous electromagnetic fields and mechanical stresses in living organisms are also reviewed, which indicate promising future of biomedical imaging and therapeutic methods based on bioelectrodynamic techniques. The fact that living organisms may have well-organized structures, actively controlled actions and responses, extremely sensitivity in electromagnetic fields and mechanical actions, and amazing signal amplification functions may not only cause complexity and variety of the biological world, but also create opportunities for technical innovations in biomedicine to improve future quality of human life.     

Thermochromic VO2 nanorods and other vanadium oxides nanostructures

Thermochromic VO₂ nanorods were prepared via thermal conversion of the metastable VO₂–B phase synthesized by hydrothermal methods. We observe an increased thermochromic transition temperature to ∼75–80 °C by variable-temperature infrared spectroscopy. Nano- and sub-micron structures of other vanadium oxides (V₃O₇, (NH₄)_0.5V₂O₅, and V₂O₅) were obtained simply by varying the starting materials in the hydrothermal synthesis. We also obtained nanostructures of the high temperature tetragonal rutile phase of VO₂ by thermolysis of single-source vanadium (IV) precursors.     

Synthesis of porous titanium implants by environmental-electro-discharge-sintering process

Porous Ti implants with various porosities were first fabricated by environmental-electro-discharging-sintering (EEDS) of atomized spherical Ti powders. Powders in two size range (50–100 and 200–250 μm) were settled by vibration into a quarts tube and subjected to a high voltage and high density current pulse. A single pulse of 0.75–2.0 kJ/0.7 g-powder, using 150, 300 and 450 μF capacitors, was applied to produce fully porous and porous-surfaced Ti implant compacts. The solid core was automatically formed in the center of the compact after discharge and porous layer consisted of particles connected in three dimensions by necks. The solid core and neck sizes increased with an increase in input energy and capacitance. On the other hand, pore volume decreased with increased capacitance and input energy due to the formation of a solid core. Capacitance and input energy are the only controllable discharge parameters even though the heat generated during a discharge is the unique parameter that determines the porosity of compact. It was shown that EEDS of spherical Ti powders can efficiently produce fully porous and porous-surfaced Ti implants with various porosities in short times (<400 μs) by manipulating the discharging conditions such as input energy and capacitance including powder size.     

Experimental and discrete element numerical analysis of side slope instability induced by fissure water underlying impervious bed

1 Introduction The in situ observations and analysis on the landslide events indicate that water is one of the key factors which induce landslide of the mountain mass[1―8]. The mechanism offissure water inducing landslide can be generalized into three aspects: (1) the softening influence of water weakens the strength of materials on the slip surface[9―11]; (2) the cleft water pressure towards the slide slope free face increases sliding force[12―15]; (3) water pressure on the slip surface lo…
