In this study, the continuous daily ET at 90 m spatial resolution was estimated from the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) by using the land surface temperature and land surface reflectance of VNIR combining the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission Reflectance Radiometer (ASTER) spatiotemporal characteristics obtained from the Temporal...
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic tracking system which has been widely applied in the fields of intelligent transportation systems, e.g., collision avoidance, navigation, maritime supervision and management. Compare with other positioning systems, e.g., very high frequency (VHF) and radar, AIS can conquer the human errors and it is almost not affected by the external environment...
The relative radiometric calibration is essential to get high-quality remote sensing images. An efficient way to bypass the quest of uniformity is to use the satellite agility in order to align the ground projection of the scanline on the ground velocity. This weird viewing principle(side-slither) allows all the detectors to view the same landscape. A relative radiometric calibration model based on...
In survival analysis, the primary goal is to monitor several entities and model the occurrence of a particular event of interest. In such applications, it is quite often the case that the event of interest may not always be observed during the study period and this gives rise to the problem of censoring which cannot be easily handled in the standard regression approaches. In addition, obtaining sufficient...
In this paper, we focus on the problem of analyzing the operating performance of insurance companies, and this problem is crucial for modern financial industry development. Index system for evaluating operating performance of insurance companies is made up of four parts: 1) Profitability, 2) Solvency, 3) Capital adequacy and 4) Management ability. Main idea of this paper is to introduce DEA model...
Age estimation from facial images is an important problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. Typically the goal is to predict the chronological age of a person given his or her face picture. It is seldom to study a related problem, that is, how old does a person look like from?the face photo? It is called apparent age estimation. A key difference between apparent age estimation and the traditional...
To build a simple picture of M2M communication under service-oriented M2M architecture, a key innovation underlines the enablement of M2M device abstraction and semantics support. However, state of the art structures of M2M devices/software lack common M2M Service Layer for interoperability. Devices/software rely heavily on specific API implementation-oriented data services and the data definition...
Human behavioral interventions aimed at improving health can benefit from objective wearable sensor data and mathematical models. Smartphone-based sensing is particularly practical for monitoring behavioral patterns because smartphones are fairly common, are carried by individuals throughout their daily lives, offer a variety of sensing modalities, and can facilitate various forms of user feedback...
Strategic human capital as the unique resources brings competitive advantages for enterprises, which is unquestionable. Because of different strategies at business level, strategic human capital characteristics are different. This paper, firstly, through exploratory factor analysis surveys the strategies at the business layer of 435 enterprises, two different types of enterprises under the cost leading...
The aim of term semantic orientation analysis is to mine the sentiment polarity of words and phrases from their contexts. This paper presents a novel algorithm called Affinity Propagation to analyze semantic orientations of terms. Specifically, we build an informative graph from text corpus using an efficient Word Activation Force model and regard each term as a node in the graph. Then we propagate...
The prevalence of Avian influenza viruses (AIV) in poultry have become highly in many places. AIV mainly cause uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response, led to pulmonary infection. We use Syngeneic marrow stem cells (MSCs) injected through the caudal vein of mice 30 min after H9N2 AIV intranasally treaded. Seven days later, we observed the mortality, absolute and relative lung weight, PaO2 and...
Flood disasters are among the world's most damaging types of disaster and occur frequently in the world, which cause great personal injuries and property damages. To improve flood risk management and decision-making, a flood risk assessment spatial decision support system architecture is proposed that capitalizes on the latest advances in remote sensing, geographic information systems, hydrologic...
Web service is a new application model for the data and service integration on the web. Due to insufficient semantic information, dynamic services discovering is difficult to accomplish. Thus, a new discovery method based on concept reasoning is presented, which utilizes the automatic reasoning capability of OWL to construct concept hierarchy and then encodes them for transforming the complex deduction...
In wastewater treatment plants, It's difficult to acquire online data of BOD5 (Biochemical Oxygen Demand for 5 days) due to its characteristic and unreliability of on-line sensors. Furthermore, although soft sensors models are widely used in wastewater treatment, only a few approaches for soft sensors models are designed to address the problems currently existing in the wastewater treatment. In such...
Workflow is a promising technology for realizing process-oriented information systems. However, the traditional workflow management systems are designed to handle the static business processes. How to model dynamic changes of workflow is one of hotspots of current research. The unified modeling language (UML) and polychromatic sets (PS) theory are introduced and their advantages and disadvantages...
The prediction of the ship motion has a significant practical meaning to the safety of the ship controlling. The pitch and heave motions are the main two features in the vertical movement system of the ship. Considering the coupling relationship between the influence factors in the ship motion system including the wave, the Inverse Triangle Transform MGM(1,n) model is proposed to predict the pitch...
On the basis of researched on CAN bus and vehicle network, an entire design model of vehicle network was submited in this paper. The function of each node was determined based on the analysis of network protocol. A new simulation tool CANoe was used on off-line simulation and semi-physical simulation of these nodes. This development approach could make the development of car network system more convient...
NETCONF is a new standard network configuration protocol. For further research we have developed an open experimental platform for NETCONF protocol, BUPT-NEP (BUPT NETCONF Experimental Platform). Moreover, based on the experimental platform some significant technologies, such as data filtering, data storage and so on, are considered. This paper gives a detailed introduction of the tree data model...
NETCONF, a new network management protocol, was released in 2006 which has overcome the weaknesses of SNMP. In the NETCONF protocol, it proposed a new mechanism subtree filtering, which allows an application to select particular XML subtrees. With the Subtree Filtering, specifically information of XML can be filtered out as a XML subtree. However, since the Subtree Filtering depends on the parsing...
What we are proposing in this paper is the object, architecture, design and implementation of a Web-based simulation meta-synthesis, named WebSMS. The motivation of the WebSMS system is to provide services for distributed and secure sharing and reuse of resource, distributed collaboration, and distributed execution and observation of simulation. In this paper, the foundational idea of meta-synthetic...
