Alternative clustering aims at exploring another reasonable clustering which is distinctively different from an existing one. This paper presents a novel alternative clustering algorithm based on the IB method, named Alt_sIB. Our approach aims to ensure the clustering quality by maximizing the mutual information between clustering labels and data observation, whilst ensuring the clustering distinctiveness...
A high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the raspberry ketone in raspberry. Raspberry ketone was extracted by hot refluxing method with methanol as extraction solvent. The purities in crude extract was removed by chemical method, and the aldehyde, ketone and other carbonyl compounds were isolated from crude extract. Qualitative and quantitative...
This case study centered on the effects of Music Therapy (MT) on vegetative state (VS) patients for a continuous 41-day experiment with electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded. Mahler's Second Symphony was used for this MT. There are various elements in Mahler's second symphony, with string, wind, drum, and even voice; providing the subject a strong and dynamic stimulation. There are some significant changes...
In this paper, a self-organized algorithm for task allocation, based on the hormone reaction-diffusion mechanism, is proposed for a multi-robot system. Hormone messages are used to coordinate the movement of robots. By the regulation of hormones, agents could adjust their behaviors in time and improve the ability of self-organization. A simulation of task allocation in the multi-robot system is performed,...
For many firms, embedding global value chain is a requirement to gain continual competitiveness. Different links of GVC may produce different rents. Relational rent created by actors' collaboration of a link is an important resource of super profits. Relational rent distribution determines the cooperative performance. A distributional control system can assistant participants evaluate cooperative...
