Catalytic properties of aluminated sepiolite in ethanol conversion

The aluminated sepiolite, obtained by alkaline treatment with KAlO₂, as well as the silver-exchanged aluminated sepiolite were tested in ethanol conversion. The reactions were performed at 280°C and with 50 Torr of ethanol in He. After the alumination through KA1O₂, ethanol dehydrogenation and ethanol dehydration resulted from the Lewis acidity. The dispersion of silver led to a bifunctional catalytic system and the overall catalytic activity and the selectivity towards the acetaldehyde production increased. As a result of the Prins reaction, a significant yield in butadiene was observed.     

Classification of cardiac sound signals using constrained tunable-Q wavelet transform

The features extracted from the cardiac sound signals are commonly used for detection and identification of heart valve disorders. In this paper, we present a new method for classification of cardiac sound signals using constrained tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT). The proposed method begins with a constrained TQWT based segmentation of cardiac sound signals into heart beat cycles. The features obtained from heart beat cycles of separately reconstructed heart sounds and murmur can better represent the various types of cardiac sound signals than that from containing both. Therefore, heart sounds and murmur have been separated using constrained TQWT. Then the proposed novel raw feature set has been created by the parameters that have been optimized while constraining the output of TQWT together with that of extracted by using time-domain representation and Fourier–Bessel (FB) expansion of separated heart sounds and murmur. However, the adaptively selected features have been used to obtain the final feature set for subsequent classification of cardiac sound signals using least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) with various kernel functions. The performance of the proposed method has been validated with publicly available datasets and the results have been compared with the existing short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based method. The proposed method shows higher percentage classification accuracy of 94.01 as compared to 93.53 of STFT based method. In comparison with STFT based method, it is noteworthy that the proposed method uses well defined and lower dimensionality of feature vector that can reduce the computational complexity.

基于时间Petri网的AADL模型

随着嵌入式系统设计日益复杂,对系统的描述也提出了越来越高的要求,特别是实时性能。因此如何描述实时性能逐渐受到重视。在嵌入式系统中,线程的时间属性影响着系统的实时性,因此在设计早期利用AADL描述线程,但是AADL只是一种半形式化的语言,不够精确,并可能产生二义性。因此,把AADL模型转化为时间Pe砸网,但是时间Petri网不能很好地表示AADL的时间属性。故在研究AADL模型的时间属性的基础上,针对时间Petri考虑区域值延时与固定延时,并把固定延时当作区域值时延的一种特殊情况。最后给出针对AADL模型转化为时间Petri网的相应规则。     

K-means: Clustering by gradual data transformation

Traditional approach to clustering is to fit a model (partition or prototypes) for the given data. We propose a completely opposite approach by fitting the data into a given clustering model that is optimal for similar pathological data of equal size and dimensions. We then perform inverse transform from this pathological data back to the original data while refining the optimal clustering structure during the process. The key idea is that we do not need to find optimal global allocation of the prototypes. Instead, we only need to perform local fine-tuning of the clustering prototypes during the transformation in order to preserve the already optimal clustering structure.

随着遥感应用技术的不断发展,对ESRI Shapefile格式图像文件的处理需求变得日益紧迫。目前能对它进行处理的软件有很多,但是这些软件运行时占用大量系统资源,而直接将商业软件嵌入到自主开发的软件中也是不可取的。因此,能够在自主开发的遥感图像处理软件中实现对ESRI Shapefile格式文件的操作已经变得非常重要。通过对ESRI Shapefile格式的影像数据结构特征分析,提出基于GDAL实现ESRI Shapefile格式文件到png文件格式的转换和处理方法,包括地理信息获取、坐标系统转换和文件格式转换。通过试验验证了该方法的可行性。
