Based on the complex network theory, this paper proposed an energy-aware Barabasi-Albert (EABA) model for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Unlike existing research, tunable coefficients were introduced into the model for balancing connectivity and energy consumption in the network. Mean-field approach was applied to study the degree distribution of EABA. Both theoretical analysis and simulation indicate...
Work capacity models are very important tool in profiling a person against a defined set of competencies usually related to knowledge and skills, and the person's physical and behavioral characteristics and constraints. In the case of an engineering student, for example, these set of competencies may be defined by a mentor or adviser such as, but are not limited to: knowledge on certain theoretical...
Based on the results of the fact — finding visit, this paper established a comprehensive directed weighted evolving network model that integrated fitness-based preferential attachment, node deletion, link establishment and link deletion, and performed analytical deductions. Then the in-strength distribution index is taken as the main object of study, this paper validated the model respectively when...
Based on the classic scheme of proportional , integral and derivative (PID) control, we present the design of a nonlinear controller, which aims to regulate the posture (position and orientation) of a 6 d.o.f. (degrees of freedom) aerial vehicle called Quadrotor. In particular, the Quadrotor horizontal position is controlled by PI actions, while the Quadrotor orientation and vertical position are...
Image inpainting provides a means to restore damaged region of an image, such that the image looks complete and natural after the inpainting process. This paper presents a new inpainting algorithm, which implements the filling of damaged region based on morphological erosion and structure feature replication. The method, which is based on a structure/texture feature matching algorithm, can retain...
