Large-scale emergency events bring a lot of effect to people's ordinary life, so it is necessary to provide fast and effective location-allocation analysis information for emergency traffic evacuation and succor. In this issue, some related models based on location-allocation analysis are introduced into emergency traffic evacuation field. Considering the actual situation and character of emergency...
Wireless sensor networks consist of various sensor nodes which operate in a memory, energy and bandwidth constrained environment. Target tracking is an important application in wireless sensor networks and in this paper we propose an energy aware target tracking (EATT) algorithm. Energy efficiency is obtained due to the novel concept of tracking being performed in a collaborative manner by different...
In the Korean Pine solid quantity's forecast technique, the characteristic of Korean Pine cone's shape is one of main parameters. This paper can provide the precise data for the Korean Pine solid quantity's forecast technique by segmenting the image of Korean Pine which is taken by the Filed Server. Considering of the complex background of Korean Pine image and the target of hollow contours, we proposed...
Intra-body communication (IBC) is a novel transmitting technique suitable for wearable and implantable sensors in home health care systems. Utilizing the conductive property of human body, IBC employs human body as the medium for transmitting electrical signals. As a result, electromagnetic interference can be greatly reduced for devices communicated within human body. These advantages are significant...
A model of the bee hive that clearly separates the self-organizing decision-making behaviour of the bees in the hive and the problem-specific behaviour of the bees outside the hive is presented. This separation allows for the applications of the model for different problem domains. Results of the application to three problem domains are presented - web search, function optimization and hierarchical...
This paper presents a coevolutionary algorithm named cooperative coevolutionary invasive weed optimization (CCIWO) and investigates its performance for global optimization of functions with numerous local optima and also Nash equilibrium (NE) search for games. Ability of CCIWO for function optimization is tested through a set of common benchmarks of stochastic optimization, and reported results are...
Most of the biclustering algorithms for the analysis of high dimensional gene expression data use some distance measure or correlation coefficient between a pair of genes as the similarity measure. These measures capture only linear relationships between the genes but non linear relationships may exist amongst them. Mutual information is a more general measure to investigate relationships (positive,...
Cities are complex systems, with many dynamically changing parameters and large numbers of discrete actors. The heterogeneous nature of cities, make it difficult to generalize localized problems from that of city-wide problems. Computer modeling is becoming an increasingly important tool when examining how cities operate. Agent-based models allow for testing of different hypotheses and theories for...
The asset valuation is the specialized work, and it requests the certified public valuer (CPV) to have the very strong specialized competent ability. With the rapid development of the market economic, the reform of stock system, the tax reform, and the application of fair value in new enterprise accounting standards, the new evaluation domain develops unceasingly, and which sets the new request to...
The presented works are a part of the realization of an automobile accessibility movement simulator. The aim of this paper is to propose an optimization step of the kinematic model representing the human body. This model is made of two rigid bodies representing the trunk (torso and pelvis) and 4 simple open kinematics chains, in a star-shaped topology, with 7 degrees of freedom constituting the arms...
We build a population dynamics model of the competition among immune system cells and a generic tumor cells. Then, we apply the theory of optimal control to find the optimal schedule of injection of autologous dendritic cells used as immunotherapeutic agent.
The investment in real estates is a high income and the high risk coexisting investment activity. If cannot consider fully all sorts of risk factor to the entire investment plan's influence, it will usually present the decision error. In view of the research methods for the previous shortage of investment risk, we propose a risk assignment model which bases on the ant colony algorithm. The example...
