华北中部平原地表水入渗试验 ——以南宫溹泸河为例

华北平原中部地区含水砂层颗粒细且薄,对地下水储蓄和地表水入渗不利。选择河道带进行地表水入渗试验,以获取最大地下储蓄空间,为该区水资源合理利用提供良策。试验区选在南宫溹泸河,人工引水1.5个月,获取大量监测数据,据此对地下水位和水量的变化特征、入渗量和地下水库调蓄能力进行研究,结果表明：干涸河道引水入渗,入渗比例可达80.54%;溹泸河上下游2个断面Ⅰ-Ⅰ′和Ⅱ-Ⅱ′河道垂向渗透速度为10.81 m/d和10.72 m/d;水平扩散速度为1.69 m/h和2.38 m/h。由于Ⅰ-Ⅰ′断面垂向渗透速度大于Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面,而水平扩散速度小于Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面,所以Ⅰ-Ⅰ′断面形成的水丘相比Ⅱ-Ⅱ′断面较为明显,且不易消散。计算结果显示,试验区调蓄库容为1.87亿m3。     

Ontological reasoning in the design space exploration of advanced cyber–physical systems

Cyber–physical systems are becoming increasingly complex. In these advanced systems, the different engineering domains involved in the design process become more and more intertwined. Therefore, a traditional (sequential) design process becomes inefficient in finding good design options. Instead, an integrated approach is needed where parameters in multiple different engineering domains can be chosen, evaluated, and optimized to achieve a good overall solution. However, in such an approach, the combined design space becomes vast. As such, methods are needed to mitigate this problem.In this paper, we show a method for systematically capturing and updating domain knowledge in the context of a co-design process involving different engineering domains, i.e. control and embedded. We rely on ontologies to reason about the relationships between parameters in the different domains. This allows us to derive a stepwise design space exploration workflow where this domain knowledge is used to quickly reduce the design space to a subset of likely good candidates. We illustrate our approach by applying it to the design space exploration process for an advanced electric motor control system and its deployment on embedded hardware.     

Searching minimax game trees under memory space constraint

Games such as CHESS, GO and OTHELLO can be represented by minimax game trees. Among various search procedures to solve such game trees,- and SSS^* are perhaps most well known. Although it is proved that SSS^* explores only a subset of the nodes explored by-, - is commonly believed to be faster in real applications, since it requires very little memory space and hence its storage management cost is low. Contrary to this folklore, however, this paper reports, using the OTHELLO game as an example, that SSS^* is much faster than-. It is also demonstrated that SSS^* can be modified to make the required memory space controllable to some extent, while retaining the high efficiency of the original SSS^*.This research was partially supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan, under a Scientific Grant-in-Aid.     

No-reference stereoscopic image quality assessment using quaternion wavelet transform and heterogeneous ensemble learning

As the demand for high-quality stereo images has grown in recent years, stereoscopic image quality assessment (SIQA) has become an important research area in modern image processing technology.In this paper, we propose a no-reference stereoscopic image quality assessment (NR-SIQA) model using heterogeneous ensemble learning ‘quality-aware’ features from luminance image, chrominance image, disparity and cyclopean images via quaternion wavelet transform (QWT). Firstly, luminance image and chrominance image are generated by CIELAB color space as monocular perception, and the novel disparity and cyclopean images are utilized to complement with monocular information. Then, a number of ‘quality-aware’ features in the quaternion wavelet domain are discovered, including entropy, texture features, energy features, energy differences features and MSCN coefficients of high frequency sub-band. Finally, a heterogeneous ensemble model via support vector regression (SVR) & extreme learning machine (ELM) & random forest (RF) is proposed to predict quality score, and bootstrap sampling and rotated feature space are used to increase the diversity of data distribution. Comparing with the state-of-the-art NR-SIQA models, experimental results on four public databases prove the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model.

Effect of intensified discharge in the vicinity of ribs on PDP performance

It was determined that the discharge in the vicinity of ribs should be intensified to obtain low‐voltage, high‐luminous efficacy, and high module efficiency. One possible way is to increase the space between ribs and the discharge surface. Even if the amount of space increases by only 2 or 3 µm, it still results in low discharge voltage, large discharge current, and high luminous efficacy. For that reason it might be important to control the micron‐sized particles included in the MgO crystal dispersed layers. Another preferable way is to use ribs with a low electric permittivity (ε) that are represented by porous ribs. Moreover, low‐ε ribs diffuses the high‐energy spots in plasma, resulting in a high luminous efficacy. They feature a significantly lower sustain voltage and a smaller parasitic capacitance as well to facilitate a help high module efficiency. Also, highly porous ribs are expected to increase their practical use in aspects of mechanical strength and impurity gas exhaustion.     

Response correction techniques for surrogate‐based design optimization of microwave structures

Simulation‐based optimization has become an important design tool in microwave engineering. However, using electromagnetic (EM) solvers in the design process is a challenging task, primarily due to a high‐computational cost of an accurate EM simulation. In this article, we present a review of EM‐based design optimization techniques exploiting response‐corrected physically based low‐fidelity models. The surrogate models created through such a correction can be used to yield a reasonable approximation of the optimal design of the computationally expensive structure under consideration (high‐fidelity model). Several approaches using this idea are reviewed including output space mapping, manifold mapping, adaptive response correction, and shape‐preserving response prediction. A common feature of these methods is that they are easy to implement and computationally efficient. Application examples are provided. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient design of SIW filters with knowledge‐embedded space mapping technique

This article presents an optimization technique for the design of substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW) filters using knowledge‐embedded space mapping. An effective coarse model is proposed to represent the SIW filter. The proposed coarse model can be analyzed in the available commercial software ADS. The embedded knowledge includes not only formulas but also extracted design curves, which help to build the mapping between the coarse and fine models. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through a design example of a six‐pole SIW filter. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2012.     

Robust pose invariant face recognition using coupled latent space discriminant analysis

We propose a novel pose-invariant face recognition approach which we call Discriminant Multiple Coupled Latent Subspace framework. It finds the sets of projection directions for different poses such that the projected images of the same subject in different poses are maximally correlated in the latent space. Discriminant analysis with artificially simulated pose errors in the latent space makes it robust to small pose errors caused due to a subject’s incorrect pose estimation. We do a comparative analysis of three popular latent space learning approaches: Partial Least Squares (PLSs), Bilinear Model (BLM) and Canonical Correlational Analysis (CCA) in the proposed coupled latent subspace framework. We experimentally demonstrate that using more than two poses simultaneously with CCA results in better performance. We report state-of-the-art results for pose-invariant face recognition on CMU PIE and FERET and comparable results on MultiPIE when using only four fiducial points for alignment and intensity features.
