As it often happens in cryptography, a visual cryptographic method serves as primitive for more evolved file encryption algorithm. During the development and evaluation process of the pixel sieve method, several weaknesses popped out. In the attempt of solving these weaknesses a possibility to transform the method from pixel based graphical cryptographic method to a bit based file cryptographic method...
Here we report the fabrication of a unique structure “Nano-Fibrous Microcapsules” and its application as a 3-D cell culture scaffold for tissue engineering. Based upon its micro-porous and nano-fibrous duality, we propose a novel three-dimensional scaffold that can act to support and guide cell growth. Herein we have developed a straight forward method to produce 3-dimensionally shaped scaffolds composed...
Conventional context-aware system refers to an intelligent mobile system that can sense the Real Space (RS). Its essential functions are to understand the situation in RS as well as to supply suitable information or services to users depending on the perceived situation. In order to realize that, pattern recognition technologies based on signal or image processing (non-symbolic processing) as well...
A video-sharing service, where users can upload videos to, have rapidly spread recently. The number of videos in the service has increased dramatically as well as the number of users. With the rapid growth of the number of videos, we are faced with is having to arrange and categorize videos. However, it is difficult to let a computer aware the contents (or topics) of videos. This paper focused on...
The application of process computed tomography to microchannels is considered in this paper. Using the process computed tomography system in microchannel, a particle distribution image can be obtained in a multiphase flow. Based on the reconstructed image, it is easy to estimate the particle diffusion behaviors in a fluid flow. A microchannel system is designed for process computed tomography. The...
In order to improve operation efficiency and customer satisfaction and to minimize the turnaround time of vessels at container terminals, a berth allocation problem (BAP) was formulated. An adaptive artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) was proposed to solve it. Firstly, the basic principle and the algorithm design of the AFSA were introduced. Then, for a test case, computational experiments explored...
Since the late 1990s, studies of team performance management have experienced a great growth over a decade. Researchers study on this field from several different aspects and subjects. Reviewing these years' hot domains and research trends of team performance management, it's clear that the study from the very beginning have a comprehensive, intercrossing and complicated feature. Taking use of co-citation...
China, with abundant UNESCO World Heritage Sites, has the prospect of receiving the world's largest inbound tourists by 2020. Websites are currently one of the most effective means to supply and retrieve information. Hence, constructing and improving English websites of World Heritage Sites in China is of critical importance. This paper attempts to give some advice on bettering English website of...
This paper presents a concrete implementation of the Fuzzy Rule Interpolation (FRI) method called `FIVE'. FIVE is an acronym for Fuzzy rule Interpolation based on Vague Environment. The method itself tends to be a fast and simple to use application oriented FRI technique. Therefore the main goal of this paper to study the speed performance issues of the implementation. First a brief introduction to...
Bilateral movement training for the upper extremity rehabilitation is attracting a lot of attention. In this paper, we investigated the relationship between left and right of the human body system(human mirror-image) using robotic force field for planning effective bimanual movement training of upper limb rehabilitation. We use two robot manipulators and force/torque sensors to realize the force field,...
Large-scale data-intensive streaming applications in various science fields feature complex DAG-structured workflows comprised of distributed computing modules with intricate inter-module dependencies. Supporting such workflows in high-performance network environments and optimizing their throughput are crucial to collaborative scientific exploration and discovery. We formulate workflow mapping as...
Visual verb is a special type of verb. Between the semantic characteristics of modern Chinese visual verbs exists relation of compatibility or repulsion. Through calculation and analysis of the compatibility degree, we find that, in semantic characteristics, the relation can be "compatibility" or "repulsion", which is determined by the features of visual behavior itself. In addition,...
An integrated strategy coupling GIS with two-dimension hydrodynamic model is explored to simulate the flooding inundation in the upper reaches of Huangpu River. DEM data, hydraulic engineering map and other available geospatial data are used and aid to generate the computational grid, while, some treatments of interior and exterior boundary conditions, and calculations of variable resistance terms...
According to the Characteristics of complex object system, a comprehensive evaluation model for complex object system is established based on fuzzy theory and artificial neural network. To realize the intelligence and the visualization of the evaluation process, an intelligent comprehensive evaluation software system with the help of Visual Basic, database technique and MATLAB toolbox is designed...
Some neuro-scientific techniques are gradually being applied to the study of modern business activities, as well as interpersonal communication. This paper focuses on representation systems in oral communication research. Based on the representational system of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), this paper summed up the conclusion of the research of representational system in the oral communication...
This paper introduced a data embedding technology different from traditions. The study is based on visual C++ programming with interface. For convenience of users, It got over traditional defect of embedding technology. This study also produces new ideas in the aspect of precise correction. A more precise TIN-based method is assumed. Using this method, the errors of the corrected image is about one...
Given the low accuracy of visual tracking based on the routine particle filter caused by the particles poverty, this paper presents the novel sequence likelihood particle filter (SLPF) in which the particles are extracted from a discrete likelihood distribution. And the constructing procedure of the discrete likelihood is stated. And the weight updating formula of the sequence likelihood particle...
In last years the huge relevance of accessing and acquiring information made available by Web pages and business documents has grown much further. Thus, wrapping information from documents in HTML and PDF formats is receiving increasing interest. In this paper we present a textual query language, named ViQueL, that allows for querying information in both Web and PDF documents on the base of its spatial...
A wireless tracking and controlling the mobile robot using video capturing feature (VCF) for unmanned applications is presented. It is a wheel-based and Radio frequency (RF wireless communicated) is used for communication between controller and the robot. The available motions of the robot are forward, backward, right, left and the combination of these movements. Besides, a camera is built in the...
The more application of visualization techniques in medicine, geology and other fields is employed, but less use in structural damage detection area. This paper presents visualization of damaged rail, in which the damage has been identified via wavelet transform. First, a simulation of intact and single damages rail was carried out. Then, the displacement modes of intact and damaged rail are extracted...
