Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: The adaptive particle swarm optimization based on genetic mechanism (GA-AW-PSO) is proposed, aiming at blind source separation for dynamic hybrid bearing signals. The negentropy of separated signal is regarded as an objective function. The inertia weight is adjusted adaptively to reduce the invalid iterations according to the fitness difference. The introduction of genetic mechanism can increase diversity and is helpful for dynamic signal processing. The parameterized representation of orthogonal matrices can reduce the complexity of the algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to traditional blind source separation for the dynamic mechanical hybrid analog signal. …

Event-Triggered Non-Fragile H∞ State Estimation For Fuzzy Time-Delay Neural Networks, Yanqin Wang, Weijian Ren
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: For a class of fuzzy neural networks with randomly occurring time-varying delays and randomly data packet loss, an event-triggered non-fragile H∞ state estimator is designed. The event-triggered condition is introduced to determine whether the signal is transmitted or not, so as to reduce the occupation rate of network resource. Random variables of Gaussian distribution and the multiplicative gain uncertainties are adopted to construct the non-fragile state estimator with randomly occurring gain variations. By constructing Lyapunov function, and via stochastic computation and linear matrix inequality technique, the sufficient conditions for the existence of non-fragile estimators are obtained, which guarantee …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: The representative or relative important emergency conditions need to be selected for making well-directed emergency plans. The quantitative method is normally used to select emergency conditions, but it requires users to specify the weight of every attribute, which does not conform to the users' habit. A qualitative method for emergency condition selection is put forward which includes two steps: for the first step, TCP-nets is adopted to describe users' requirements; and for the second step, the most important emergency conditions are selected based on TCP-nets. The effectiveness of the method is proved, and the efficiency is verified by experiments …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: For solving cooperative target recognition problem in visual navigation, a fast and accurate algorithm based on progressive judgment of multiple features is proposed. The image is processed and judged by multiple features including image contours, Hu moment invariants and FAST corners. The non-target areas are eliminated and the real targets are obtained. In the process, algorithm is improved and some accelerated strategies are adopted to meet real-time requirements. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can identify cooperative target robustly and adaptively with different distances, different angles and environment disturbance.

Abstract: Rapid growth of test data volume becomes a major factor for test time and manufacturing cost increasing. To reduce test data volume, a code-based compression scheme with fast search best rational approximate fraction is presented. The run-length data is converted into floating point numbers; and the equal best rational approximate fractions of floating point numbers is searched quickly; the appearing law of run-length data in the form of integer numerator and integer denominator is stored instead of storing run-length data directly. This scheme is compatible with traditional code-based methods. It also has simple compression and decompression protocol, good compression …

Abstract: The two-dimensional fluid flow in superhydrophobic microchannels with transverse grooves was numerically simulated with Fluent to investigate the impact of the liquid-gas interface curvature on the effective slip behavior in the laminar regime. The effects of shear-free fraction, normalized periodic cell length and Reynolds number on the normalized slip length and pressure drop reduction are also examined. The results show that as protrusion angle increases, the normalized slip length and pressure drop reduction exhibit with single-hump variations. When θ=θopt, increments in the normalized slip length and pressure drop reduction tend to be greater as shear-free …

Abstract: Aiming at the problem that inertial device bias has an influence on the improvement of system precision, a single axis error modulation scheme whose sensitive axis is misalignment with rotation axis which can continuously rotate in clockwise and counterclockwise is proposed. Based on the same level precision of inertial components in IMU, the IMU is installed on rotation mechanism with non-coincidence. The symmetric part of inertial device deviation can be compensated by the positive and negative cancellation of the device deviation in the rotation axis direction and the rotation modulation in the vertical plane of the rotary axis.

Recent Trends In The Frequency And Duration Of Global Floods, Nasser Najibi, Naresh Devineni
Publications and Research
Frequency and duration of floods are analyzed using the global flood database of the Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) to explore evidence of trends during 1985–2015 at global and latitudinal scales. Three classes of flood duration (i.e., short: 1–7, moderate: 8–20, and long: 21 days and above) are also considered for this analysis. The nonparametric Mann–Kendall trend analysis is used to evaluate three hypotheses addressing potential monotonic trends in the frequency of flood, moments of duration, and frequency of specific flood duration types. We also evaluated if trends could be related to large-scale atmospheric teleconnections using a generalized linear model framework. …

In Santiago, Chile, the market conditions are seemingly excellent for the household adoption of photovoltaic (PV) technology, yet the uptake is negligible. To explore this paradox, the authors conducted a Delphi study to solicit the knowledge of a panel of Chilean PV experts. These efforts yielded 26 factors—both motivations and barriers—impacting the diffusion of PV in Santiago. Of the 26, experts were in consensus on the relative importance of 21. The literature suggests that diffusion of PV technologies is influenced by complex technical, economic, and social factors. Similarly, the experts saw influence from financial, environmental, and energy supply (e.g., electrical …

The lack of communication during a large project can result in costly delays when striving to achieve previously defined benchmarks. Often times, each part of a project will require verification from an employee of a specified area of expertise before being allowed to advance to the next stage. Finding these individuals can be extremely hard due to the large, spread out campus of manufacturing facilities as well as the numerous projects the company is concurrently working on. These floor support requests can sometimes take from an hour to even a whole work day, causing major delays in the production schedule. …

The packaging department of San Luis Sourdough Company was redesigned to increase bread throughput and decrease overtime hours issued to employees. Time studies were performed to get an accurate representation of the average throughput of bread with the current packaging conveyor system. After collecting data and surveying the employees and management, we came up with three design solutions to improve their current packaging system. The first design recommendation has a low-investment and is quick to implement as it pertains to changing the worker’s schedule to alleviate the employees from working long hour shifts while increasing the bread throughput.
