Acupuncture is an effective treatment for various diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the detailed mechanisms of how acupuncture information is transmitted in nervous system are still not clear. Thus, the high-performance simulation of the electroacupuncture dynamics is of vital importance in the field of computational neuroscience, which requires a hardware platform with high computational...
Membrane computing also called P system, seeks to discover new computational models from the study of cellular membranes. In this study, we reported our initial efforts to classify Macao visitor expenditure profile using a membrane computing approach. Specifically, we designed a novel P system including specific membrane structure and membrane rules to realize an improved k-medoids clustering algorithm...
In order to analyze the perennial equilibrium and dynamic relationship on transport infrastructure investment and economic growth deeply, from the perspective of multi-factors symbiosis theory, this paper selects the annual data from 1978–2009, and uses C-ointegration and Granger causal relationship. The results show that there is a long stable equilibrium relationship between transport infrastructure...
As a typical form of Cloud service, Software as a Service(SaaS) has been leading the adoption of Cloud to enable e-Business by the industries. There are growing number of SaaS services which could provide different aspects of capability enabling business to leverage Cloud platform to run and manage business processes, such as customer relationship management, supply chain management, finance and accounting...
In order to quantify the demand elasticity of China's imported crude oil, a long-run stable relationship is estimated among the crude oil import, income and crude oil prices by the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound testing approach over the period 1999-2009. Empirical results show that the short and long-run price elasticities of imported crude oil are positive and inelastic, and the long-run...
As one of the key characteristics of software as a Service (SaaS), multi-tenancy aims to support massive customers by sharing application instances and databases. To achieve the high economies of scale, one of the most issues needing to be solved in the real industry is that, given a fixed number of nodes, how to optimally place on-boarding tenants to maximize the total supported number of tenants...
In order to compare the difference in the transmission of positive and negative oil shocks on US dollar, a time-varying structural VAR model with oil shocks and US dollar exchange rates is proposed in this paper. By extending the basic time-varying structural VAR model, two structure orthogonal oil shocks can be gained by changing the time-varying state space matrix. Then, the net effects of positive...
Tissue Engineering, the science and engineering of creating functional tissues and organs for transplantation, integrates a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines to produce physiologic ldquoreplacement partsrdquo for the development of viable substitutes which restore, maintain or improve the function of human tissues. In the success of tissue engineering, three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds...
Computational fluid simulations were developed for a generic blood-interfacing implantable device. The simulations were analyzed to determine hemodynamic behavior within the device, including velocity profiles, the magnitude of shear stress, and pressure drop. By monitoring 100 streamlines, the total blood damage induced by the device was estimated and compared to that observed for a bioprosthetic...
To improve the forecasting precision of electricity consumption, and content the demand of marketing, we establish the model by combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the improved grey theory. The method is simple, easy to do practice and its convergence rate is quick. It can find the overall optimal solution of problems in great probability, and can effectively overcome the shortage of...
Software as a service (SaaS) provides software application vendors a Web based delivery model to serve big amount of clients with multi-tenancy based infrastructure and application sharing architecture so as to get great benefit from the economy of scale. Though SaaS application is usually developed with highly standardized software functionalities to serve as many clients as possible, many clients...
In seeking more profits, many business service providers have turned their attention to the technologies that can enable the delivery and operations of the network-delivered business services more efficiently and highly automated. To that end, many service providers have adopted the shared service model where the service offerings are shared across multiple customers to reduce the costs associated...
Based on the character and function of pumped storage station, a benefit evaluating indexes system is established.Considering the indexes are considerable, an hybrid model based on rough set (RS) and support vector machine(SVM) is proposed: Rough sets, as a anterior preprocessor of SVM, can find out the kernel factors influencing the safety of power supply enterprise by means of attribute reduction...
