Image edge detection based on multi-fractal spectrum analysis

In this paper, an image edge detection method based on multi-fractal spectrum analysis is presented. The coarse grain H?lder exponent of the image pixels is first computed. then, its multi-fractal spectrum is estimated by the kernel estimation method. Finally, the image edge detection is done by means of different multi-fractal spectrum values. Simulation results show that this method is efficient and has better locality compared with the traditional edge detection methods such as the Sobel method. __________ Translated from Journal of Hunan University (Natural Sciences), 2004, 31(4): 28–33     

Preparation of a sensor substrate using functionalized mesoporous silica on a gold film for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy

The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has been applied to a wide variety of fields such as biosensors and surface analysis instruments. In general, a SPR substrate is prepared using self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method of organic molecules as receptor for the target on a layer of gold or silver. However, mesoporous inorganic materials such as SBA-15 have benefits as sensor substrate for SPR. Mesoporous silica has a large surface area which receptor molecule can be attached and has a rigid body which has an excellent stability in the extreme condition compared to organic sensing layer. We prepared an organic modified mesoporous silica and successfully immobilized it on a gold surface, in an attempt to use as a substrate for SPR spectroscopy. For the comparison of sensitivity of prepared substrate, Pt²⁺ detection was selected as a model system. Substrate prepared in this study exhibited the capability of selective sensing for Pt²⁺ ions.     

改进分块支持向量聚类在入侵检测中的应用

支持向量聚类(SVC)是在支持向量机的思想上发展而来一种聚类方法,针对其处理大规模数据集速度缓慢的缺点,提出了一种改进的分块支持向量聚类算法。改进的算法分为三个阶段:前期的预处理,中期的分块算法,后期的改进标类算法。提出的方法显著加快了SVC的速度,在保持原来SVC算法的优点的基础上,对大规模数据集以及非均匀分布数据集等具有良好的效果。将其应用到网络入侵检测,实验结果表明改进的算法行之有效。

Associative Learning Improves Visual Working Memory Performance.

The ability to remember visual stimuli over a short delay period is limited by the small capacity of visual working memory (VWM). Here the authors investigate the role of learning in enhancing VWM. Participants saw 2 spatial arrays separated by a 1-s interval. The 2 arrays were identical except for 1 location. Participants had to detect the difference. Unknown to the participants, some spatial arrays would repeat once every dozen trials or so for up to 32 repetitions. Spatial VWM performance increased significantly when the same location changed across display repetitions, but not at all when different locations changed from one display repetition to another. The authors suggest that a major role of learning in VWM is to mediate which information gets retained, rather than to directly increase VWM capacity.

Development of microphone leak detection technology on Fugen NPP

A method of leak detection, based on high-temperature resistant microphones, was originally developed in JNC to detect leakages with flow rates from 1 m³/h to 500m³/h. The development performed on Fugen is focused on detection of a small leakage at an early stage. Specifically, for the inlet feeder pipes the leak rate of 0.2gpm (0.046m³/h) has been chosen as a target detection capability. Evaluation of detection sensitivity was carried out in order to check the capability of the method to satisfy this requirement. The possibility of detecting and locating a small leakage has been demonstrated through the research.     

Fuzzy logic for signal prediction in nuclear systems

In this paper, we present a fuzzy logic-based algorithm which allows to build a predictive model of an evolving signal. The if-then rules are inferred from the available input-output data. The errors of the model predictions with respect to the measured plant signals can then be used to detect, in real-time, any deviation of the process due either to a component's failure or to an operator's action. Applications of the approach are presented with respect to a chaotic time series of literature and to the water level in the steam generator of a PWR.     

A bandwidth latency tradeoff for broadcast and reduction

The “fractional tree” algorithm for broadcasting and reduction is introduced. Its communication pattern interpolates between two well known patterns—sequential pipeline and pipelined binary tree. The speedup over the best of these simple methods can approach two for large systems and messages of intermediate size. For networks which are not very densely connected the new algorithm seems to be the best known method for the important case that each processor has only a single (possibly bidirectional) channel into the communication network.
