Abstract: It is an important pretreatment of a virtual orthodontic system to accurately segment teeth from a dental model. In the present methods, all patches are computed directly. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a segmentation line detection method based on target region constraint, which narrows down the detection range to the area around the actual segmentation line. In this method, the cutting plane and the cutting line are automatically formed according to the positions of seed points. The detection range is determined by the search for the position with the greatest negative curvature on the cutting line. The …

Simulation And Optimization Of A New Multi-Channel Contact Center System, Junxiang Li, Lichao Li, Kun Ma
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In the actual operation of a contact center, it often encounters a large number of calls caused by an emergency. A traditional call center with a simple first-come-first-served queuing rule can hardly handle the rapid increase of calls properly. In this regard, without changing the number of seats, the call-back service channel for evacuating tasks and the special service channel for ensuring the service level are added. Considering customer abandonment, a new multi-channel queuing model for a contact center is built. This model is simulated by FlexSim software, and the results are comparatively analyzed. It is found that …

Lod Modeling Method For Three-Dimensional Objects With Energy Operator, Yongzhi Wang, Zhenchao Li, Pengyu Liu, Hui Wang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Current level of detail (LOD) modeling methods do not combine simplification and subdivision, which results in models not being rich in detail level. Therefore, the energy operator was used to combine the simplification algorithm of a three-dimensional (3D) object model with the subdivision algorithm, and a LOD modeling method based on an energy operator was proposed for 3D objects. The method involves three major steps: calculation of energy operators for 3D models, model simplification and model subdivision based on an energy operator. Experiments show that this method can generate models with rich levels of detail and has good visualization …

Abstract: The excessive amount of data and information in the situation map is likely to produce a huge cognitive load that exceeds the physiological limit. This can lead to delays in the perception, judgment, and decision-making of the commander, or even failure of decision-making activities in severe cases. For this reason, situation information needs to be processed to assess and highlight situational hotspots so that cognitive overload can be tackled. Based on the aggregation factors of collaborative targets, this paper takes the effective impact possibility of situational targets and the collaboration as the indicators, derives the attention function, and designs …

Abstract: Internet of Vehicles (IoV), AR, AI, and other computing-intensive, time-delay-sensitive applications are developing rapidly. However, due to the relatively insufficient computing capacity of mobile devices, such application tasks face serious latency, which seriously affects user experience and even fails to meet the needs of users. To solve this problem, by comprehensively considering delays and costs, we propose a cooperative computing offloading model based on a multi-user and multi-mobile edge computing (multi-MEC) server for base station groups. In addition, an improved fireworks algorithm based on convex optimization (CVX-FWA) is presented to solve the model and perform reasonable offloading and resource …

Research On Decision-Making Of Closed-Loop Supply Chain For Dual-Channel Recovery Based On Game Theory, Ying Xu, Qinming Liu, Linsen Zhou
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To tackle the difficulties and resource depletion in current packaging recycling, this paper constructs a centralized decision-making game model and three Stackelberg game models. Specifically, these Stackelberg game models are developed depending on the differences in the game power of participants in the closed-loop supply chain for dual-channel recovery, respectively corresponding to the cases where the manufacturer, the distributor or the third-party recycler is dominant. The optimal solutions of the four models are compared and analyzed. The benefits of decentralized decision-making do not reach the Pareto optimality as compared with centralized decision-making. An improved revenue sharing contract is …

Deep learning-based Computer-Aided Diagnosis has gained immense attention in recent years due to its capability to enhance diagnostic performance and elucidate complex clinical tasks. However, conventional supervised deep learning models are incapable of recognizing novel diseases that do not exist in the training dataset. Automated early-stage detection of novel infectious diseases can be vital in controlling their rapid spread. Moreover, the development of a conventional CAD model is only possible after disease outbreaks and datasets become available for training (viz. COVID-19 outbreak). Since novel diseases are unknown and cannot be included in training data, it is challenging to recognize them …

Complete Neighbourhood Search Heuristic Algorithm For Portfolio Optimization, Collether John
Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)
In portfolio optimization, the fundamental goal of an investor is to optimally allocate investments between different assets. Mean-variance optimization methods make unrealistic assumptions to solve the problem of optimal allocation. On the other hand, when realistic constraints like holding size and cardinality are introduced it leads to optimal asset allocation which differ from the mean variance optimization. The resulting optimization problem become quite complex as it exhibits multiple local extrema and discontinuities. Heuristic algorithms work well for the complex problem. Therefore, a heuristic algorithm is developed which is based on hill climbing complete (HC-C). It is utilized to solve the …

The hippocampus is critical to the temporal organization of our experiences. Although this fundamental capacity is conserved across modalities and species, its underlying neuronal mechanisms remain unclear. Here we recorded hippocampal activity as rats remembered an extended sequence of nonspatial events unfolding over several seconds, as in daily life episodes in humans. We then developed statistical machine learning methods to analyze the ensemble activity and discovered forms of sequential organization and coding important for order memory judgments. Specifically, we found that hippocampal ensembles provide significant temporal coding throughout nonspatial event sequences, differentiate distinct types of task-critical information sequentially within events, …

Internal dynamics of proteins can play a critical role in the biological function of some proteins. Several well documented instances have been reported such as MBP, DHFR, hTS, DGCR8, and NSP1 of the SARS-CoV family of viruses. Despite the importance of internal dynamics of proteins, there currently are very few approaches that allow for meaningful separation of internal dynamics from structural aspects using experimental data. Here we present a computational approach named REDCRAFT that allows for concurrent characterization of protein structure and dynamics. Here, we have subjected DHFR (PDB-ID 1RX2), a 159-residue protein, to a fictitious, mixed mode model of …

Computational prediction of a phenotypic response upon the chemical perturbation on a biological system plays an important role in drug discovery and many other applications. Chemical fingerprints derived from chemical structures are a widely used feature to build machine learning models. However, the fingerprints ignore the biological context, thus, they suffer from several problems such as the activity cliff and curse of dimensionality. Fundamentally, the chemical modulation of biological activities is a multi-scale process. It is the genome-wide chemical-target interactions that modulate chemical phenotypic responses. Thus, the genome-scale chemical-target interaction profile will more directly correlate with in vitro and in …

In distributed computations and cryptography, it is desirable to record events on a public ledger, such that later alterations are computationally infeasible. An implementation of this idea is called blockchain, which is a distributed protocol that allows the creation of an immutable ledger. While such an idea is very appealing, the ledger may be contaminated with incorrect, illegal, or even dangerous data, and everyone running the blockchain protocol has no option but to store and propagate the unwanted data. The ledger is bloated over time, and it is not possible to remove redundant information. Finally, missing data cannot be inserted …

Since its proposal by Eyal and Sirer (CACM '13), selfish mining attacks on proof-of-work blockchains have been studied extensively. The main body of this research aims at both studying the extent of its impact and defending against it. Yet, before any practical defense is deployed in a real world blockchain system, it needs to be tested for security and dependability. However, real blockchain systems are too complex to conduct any test on or benchmark the developed protocols. Instead, some simulation environments have been proposed recently, such as BlockSim (Maher et al., SIGMETRICS Perform. Eval. Rev. '19), which is a modular …
