The validity of the proposed approach is approved with case study.     

多邻域保持嵌入的人脸识别方法

现有流形学习算法在学习人脸数据时,假设所有数据点位于单一低维嵌入流形之上,当数据点实际分布在不同的流形上时,单流形假设就会影响数据真实空间结构。为此提出一种基于多邻域保持嵌入（multiple neighborhood preserving embedding, M-NPE）的学习算法来发现不同类别数据在不同维度的低维嵌入空间中分布的多流形结构。首先,单独学习不同类别数据的流形,得到反映其本质特征的流形;再通过遗传算法搜索每个流形的最优维数;最后依据最小重构误差分类器对样本分类。在Extended Yale B和CMU PIE这2个大型人脸库上实验结果验证了该算法的有效性。     

钢筋非均匀锈蚀引起混凝土保护层内裂分析

根据自然环境下保护层锈胀开裂前的钢筋锈蚀形态,将锈蚀层简化为半椭圆状的非均匀分布,从而建立了钢筋非均匀锈蚀理论模型。经过求解得到了混凝土中锈胀应力理论解,并与有限元计算结果对比,验证了理论解的精确性。根据理论解可知最大周向应力在水平轴上,因此锈蚀层的发展会首先引起保护层内部水平裂纹的产生。增加钢筋直径可有效减低锈胀应力,提高结构抗锈裂的能力。与均匀锈蚀理论模型对比结果表明：均匀锈蚀要远小于非均匀锈蚀条件下的临界锈蚀层厚度,均匀锈蚀的计算结果偏于保守。因此,对锈胀问题进行理论分析时,应采用更接近真实锈蚀形态的非均匀锈蚀模型。

A FINITE ELEMENT ALGORITHM FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING OF MULTI-FRONTS

In this paper,a new algorithm for solving large-scale finite element system is presented, which utilizes the architecture of parallel processing. Firstly, the structure is partitioned into sub-regions. Then multi-fronts are used to assemble and eliminate concurrently in every sub-region. Thus the condensed interface stiffness matrices and load vectors are obtained. By serially assembling and solving global equation to get interface displacements and backing to every sub-region, the inter-nodal displacements and element stresses can be solved. The results of computation show that it can not only increase the speed of computation,but also save the memory space of computer effectively. This algorithm is an effective method for solving large-scale structural finite element systems.     

Spatial and temporal changes to the water regime of a Mediterranean vineyard due to the adoption of cover cropping

The use of cover cropping is currently increasing in vineyards but its development remains hampered in Mediterranean regions because of the possibility of severe competition for resources. However, recent studies on intercropping in vineyards have shown that in some situations, water stress may not be greater than that prevailing in bare soil vineyards. Over a 4-year period, we studied the effects of introducing a cover crop in terms of temporal and spatial (i.e. row vs. inter-row) changes to the water regime of a Mediterranean vineyard. The experiments compared the water dynamics prevailing under three different treatments: a perennial cover crop, annual cover crop or the use of chemical weed control.A compensatory growth of the grapevine root system was revealed, thus partly prevented direct competition for resources between it and the intercrop. The rooting of a permanent cover crop was deeper than that of an annual crop, with a higher root density. Consequently, the soil compartment dried by the cover crop was larger and the grapevine was forced to explore deeper soil layers. In the presence of a cover crop on the inter-row, the grapevine also concentrated its root system below the row and dried out this soil compartment more intensively. Overall, associating grapevine with a cover crop led to a spatial distinction of soil zones exploited by the two species. The present study provides evidence that this spatial shift mainly resulted from a temporal shift in the dynamics of resource uptake by the associated species. Indeed, cover crops began to take up water before grapevine budbreak and had almost completely dried out the soil compartment they explored before grapevine water uptake became significant. This led the grapevine to modify its rooting and explore other soil zones. This phenomenon is possible in deep soils and limits competition for water between the grapevine and cover crop. Such competition is also reduced because of better soil water replenishment during the winter in the presence of a cover crop. Nevertheless, our experiments showed that this additional water mainly benefited the intercrop and did not totally compensate for transpiration by the grass cover.In conclusion, this work shows how cover cropping can spatially and temporally modify the water regime of a vineyard, and how grapevine can partially adapt to limit water competition under certain conditions. These findings provide a clearer understanding of the water dynamics prevailing in such a system, and an opportunity to model these dynamics.

Microscopic Traffic Simulation Mathematic Model Based on Cellular Automata

This paper presents a model for freeway traffic flow simulation and prediction. The model uses cellular automation theory to model complex traffic behavior. The advantage of the cellular automata approach is that the roadway to be modeled is quantized into simple homogeneous cells, time is quanitzed into discrete steps, and physical quantities take on a finite set of values. Also, the state of the cells is updated at each discrete timestep by using a vehicle update algorithm that combines a few vehicle motion models, governed by a relatively small set of parameters. Then vehicles just move one or several cells at each discrete timestep according to the self-defined rule. This approach makes the computer operation feasible. At last, the paper puts forward a suppose that if the simulation system is equiped with the self-study system of NN (neural network) module according to the statistical data from the transducer fixed on the freeway, it can predict the traffic status ahead of 10 minutes.

The compensation method for the random time-delay of the feedbackchannel and the forward channel in the networked control system

An improved predictive control method is presented to compensate the random time delay in the networked control system. The feedback time delay is compensated by predictive controller based on softened increment input strategy. The forward time delay is unknown for controller, so an extra feedback loop is added to compensate the delay by estimating the error between the actual control signal effected on plant and the output of controller in historical moment. For the controlled system with unknown or slowly varying parameters, the networked feedback correction algorithm is discussed based on a modified recursive least-squares identi cation algorithm. The system stability is analyzed and the simulation results show that the time delay in the networked control system can be accurately compensated. The excellent network performance is ensured with this strategy.

PRACT (Prototyping Rotation and Association with Cover crop and no Till) – a tool for designing conservation agriculture systems

Moving to more agroecological cropping systems implies deep changes in the organization of cropping systems. We propose a method for formalizing the process of innovating cropping system prototype design using a tool called PRACT (Prototyping Rotation and Association with Cover crop and no Till) applied to a Malagasy case study. The input information for PRACT is comprised of: (i) crop and cover crop adaptation to biophysical conditions, (ii) agroecological functions of the cover crops, (iii) crop production, (iv) association possibilities between crop and cover crop, and (v) agroecological functions of the cropping system. All the information was derived from expert knowledge developed over more than 12 years of agronomic experiments in Madagascar. The final output from PRACT is a list of cropping systems, i.e., crop and cover crop associations and their sequences over three years. These cropping systems are characterized by their potential agroecological functions and crop production. The PRACT model selects a list of cropping systems taking into account the above information by using elaborate rules governing the intercropping and sequences between crops and cover crops. Examples of the outcomes of model simulations are provided for four different kinds of field. Taking into account the range of potential crops and cover crops, the number of cropping systems that was theoretically possible for the different field types ranged from 19,683 to 2.98 ×  10¹³. In a first step, PRACT reduced this number by a factor of up to 28 times to propose possible cropping systems. To do so, cropping systems are selected in terms of the biophysical requirements of plants, plant compatibility and agronomic rules. Not all of these systems are suitable for every farmer. Thus using PRACT output, a second cropping system selection step can be taken based on these cropping system characteristics, i.e., crop production and agroecological functions. By doing so the number of cropping systems selected can reach a reasonable value that can be handled by technicians and farmers. Possible uses and further development of the tool are discussed.

Evolutionary topology optimization of the lower stable of a hydraulic press

It is difficult to obtain the globe optimum solution by applying conventional sizing and geometrical optimization methods. Evolutionary topology optimization is conducted for the lower stable of a hydraulic press using a bi directional evolutionary structure optimization (BESO) method based on ratio of stress changes, and the evolutionary history and index are analyzed. The presented algorithm obtains the simultaneous optimization on both geometry and topology, and a new topology of the lower stable of the press is evolved which possesses a reasonable topological structure. The results of finite element analysis show that the new structure has decreased maximum stress, uniform stress distribution and good material usage.
