College of Information and Computer Science Engineering, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin, China

Currently, in the use of TRIZ contradiction matrix table, users need to manually find optimization parameters and deterioration parameters of the invention for the corresponding inventive principles. When many parameters are queried, the user is hard to get the statistics, which are most likely to correspond to the invention and have to rely on tedious accumulative calculation to predict the most likely corresponding inventive principle. In this paper, we aimed to apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to predict the inventive principle; on the basis of the successful cases data, we can take advantage of AHP for the statistics and projections of 40 invention principle through the optimization parameters and deterioration parameters chosen. In this way, we ranked 40 invention principles by the use of probability to give users inventive principles of efficient prediction results and provide the user with a practical guide at the same time.

 This paper considers a problem of multi-state system reliability modelling and assessment. By using the advantages of uncertainty reasoning and figurative expression of Bayesian network, a new method of modelling and assessment of multi-state system reliability based on BN is proposed to determine the nodes of BN and the multiple states of components of system, and to give the probability of each state and then utilizing conditional probability distributing (CPD)to describe the relationship among the component states, so as to express the states of correlated nodes and build a BN model of multi-state system. The model can clearly express the multiple states of system and component and the state probability, and also call directly calculate the system reliability on the basis of multiple state probabilities of component, thereby carrying out qualitative analysis and quantitative assessment of multi-state system reliability. By means of an example of multi-state radar system, we give the detailed multi-state system reliability analysis process based on BN. This paper not only proves the effectiveness of assessment of multi-state system reliability based on BN, but contributes to good help of complex system reliability, safety analysis.

College of Safety Science and Engineering, Liaoning Technical University, Liaoning Fuxin 123000, China

Ventilation network graph has an important place in the management of a coal mine. In that case, aesthetics plays a major role for generating readable and understandable layouts. Besides, the drawing is required to be oval. The traditional longest path method for drawing ventilation network graph is inefficient and cannot effectively reduce the number of arc crossings because of the geometric intersection method. In this paper, we developed a new approach to draw ventilation network graph, consist of Sugiyama method framework, the longest path method and GA-SA algorithm. The longest path method was employed to rank nodes, and long arcs were removed by solving integer programming problem to minimize the sum length of ventilation network. Then genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm were adopted to optimize the node order on reducing the number of arc crossings. In order to make the drawing be oval, a modified version of the longest path method was made to calculate node coordinates and arc shapes, which is called the longest parallel path method. Finally, computational experiments were carried out on two test ventilation network with our new approach.

School of Computer Science & Technology, Xi’an Univ. of Posts & Telecommunications, Xi’an, China

To implement colour calibration during outputting multispectral images on a multi-ink printer, a new spectral colour calibration method is proposed. Firstly, by uniform sampling in the multi-ink printer colour space, measuring the spectral reflectance of the samples and then transforming the reflectance data to a low dimension spectral space, a forward look-up table is created. Then by sampling in the low dimension spectral space and using a nonlinear optimization to calculate the mapping points of these samples in the printer colour space, a backward look-up table is established. Meanwhile, to improve the optimization accuracy and shorten the computing time, an algorithm is designed to determine the optimization parameters based the samples. Finally, a multi-linear interpolation method is carried out on the forward and backward look-up table to achieve the spectral colour calibration of the multi-ink printer. Experiments show that the new method not only takes advantage of the high calibration precision and less time-consuming of the look-up table, but also solves the problem brought by the high dimension of the spectral data to the look-up table method by utilizing the nonlinear optimization and dimension reduction. Compared with the spectral colour calibration model methods, the new method improves the colorimetric and spectral precision obviously. It also raises the time efficiency of the inverse calibration significantly.

Many open distributed systems across Internet such as those in grid computing and RECS (remote environment control system) involve the requesting, allocation and maintenance of sorts of resources. The discovery of large amount of resources in different sites is an important issue for the design of these systems. The booming semantic Web technology provides a suitable infrastructure for the publishing, requesting and matchmaking of resources. This paper presents a generic representation for quantified resource requesting with Semantic Web. It allows the representation of complex resource descriptions such as containment hierarchies and disjoint constraints between them. A model-theoretic semantics for matchmaking with countable resources is given for this representation. A constraint-based technique for the matchmaking check with such representation is designed to ensure the correctness for remote environment control system.

With rapid development of hardware, wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been applied in a wide range of fields. However, energy cost constrains putting WSN into use. To reduce energy cost, extending life time, WSN in low-duty-cycle (LDC) draws researchers’ attention. In general, work time of a node only occupies 0.1%-10% in a cycle. This model certainly reduces the energy for idle listening. On the other hand, it makes the probability of congestion very high due to a node that can only receive packets when waking up. This paper proposes a new LDCWSN model to solve the congestion from duty schedule. With the model, we show a strategy for WSN fault averting, diagnosing and recovery based on congestion in nodes. We include some attributes of LDC WSN in our strategy, i.e. probability of congestion, scheduler, and link quality. By improving the selection of nodes on every level, we get a low rate for network’s fault appearance, low E2E delay and long lifetime. The simulation’s result shows that our strategy has a better performance in packet loss, energy cost and time delay than proposed WSN fault management.

Under the environment of supply disruption, it is significant to study decision-making, because sourcing strategies of retailers impact the profit of the supply chain while the pricing strategies of suppliers affect all aspects of the supply chain. In this paper, the demand distribution function of each supply chain is obtained, which is based on the total demand of two supply chains with given distribution function, and the sourcing and pricing problems are obtained in supply chain network under the environment of supply disruption. In order to decompose the total demand with the given distribution function, customer choice theory is adopted to acquire the demand of each supply chain. By game theory and optimization theory, we obtain the sourcing strategies of two retailers and the pricing strategies of two suppliers in this system. Finally based on the assumption of a uniform demand distribution, the outcomes of the proposed models are demonstrated with a numerical example. The results show that when disruption probability or delivery cost are high, retailers will only order from the spot market although the spot market wholesale prices are a little high; but when the disruption probability is moderate or low, the retailer would rather place orders from suppliers. Specific purchasing method depends on the competition ability between suppliers.

Rolling bearing performance degradation assessment is a predict and prevent technology. In order to assess the performance degradation degree of the rolling bearing, and make the time domain and frequency domain statistical factors be applied more effectively in rolling bearing performance degradation assessment, a comprehensive analysis method is proposed based on time domain and frequency domain statistical factors. Time domain and frequency domain statistical factors are calculated and analysed for the life cycle data of the rolling bearing. Outer raceway moderate fault and severe fault of the rolling bearing can be distinguished well by peak-to-peak level, the root-mean-square (RMS) value, and kurtosis value of time domain factors; normal state and mild fault can be distinguished better by frequency centroid, F3, F4 and F5 of frequency domain factors than each time domain factor. The outer raceway performance degradation condition of the rolling bearing can be monitored well by using the proposed comprehensive analysis method, which uses partly frequency domain factors to analyse mild fault and partly time domain factors to analyse moderate fault and severe fault.

This paper presents research into the statistical data related to China’s economic growth from 1990 to 2011, obtained by application of the DEA analysis method to the data in the China Statistical Yearbook 2012. First, a brief introduction is given to the principle structure of the Data Envelopment Analysis mathematical model. Second, the  model is established, based on modelling of the decision-making unit  in the Data Envelopment Analysis model; and a detailed discussion is made of the corresponding linear program. Finally, the optimum value of this program is obtained and the results evaluated through study of the data collected by the mathematical model established in the paper. The main conclusions are as follows: the per capita income of China’s farmers is closely related to the national total agricultural economic output and the total power of agricultural machinery, but is not that closely related to the crop planting area, area of affected crops or crops disaster area. Further, China’s agricultural development shall lead to an advanced level of huge mechanization.

Yan-Liang Liu

Bohai University, BoHai City, LiaoNing Province, China, 121013

Trade openness plays can affect China’s economy significantly. In this paper, effect of trade openness on China’s economic growth was discussed by using the error correction model, Granger causality test and impulse-response function. Moreover, an in-depth analysis on strategies that can facilitate China’s economic development was carried out. The empirical research results demonstrated that: 1) there’s a short-run equilibrium relationship rather than a long-run one between trade openness and economic growth; 2) the import trade is related with the export trade. Due to the hedging, their collaborative effect is smaller than their independent effects; 3) trade openness can facilitate economic growth within a certain time period, which presents a “U-shaped” influence mode.

The developed countries have been accusing China for its trade surplus for a long time. In order to verify the influence of trade imbalance on the economy, our research applied techniques like error correction function, Granger test and impulse response function. The research outcomes manifest that: the influence of trade imbalance on the economy is not significant. On the contrary, the economy imposes certain impact on trade imbalance. Both imports and exports significantly promote the development of economy. Furthermore, imports remarkably facilitate exports. This can also be attributed as the reason of China’s trade deficit before 1992.

Although the back propagation neural network has been successfully employed in various fields and demonstrated promising results, literatures show its performance still could be improved. Therefore, we present a comprehensive comparison study on the application of different BP algorithm in time series of deformation forecasting. Four types of typical improved BP algorithm, namely, momentum, conjugate gradient, Quasi-Newton and Levenberg-marquardt algorithms, are investigated. An illustrative example of high-rise building settlement deformation is adopted for demonstration. Results show that the improved BP algorithms can increase the prediction accuracy and have faster convergence speed.

With its advantages of abundant resource, popularity, and efficiency, solar greenhouse is the only type of greenhouse that is widely used in Northern China. This study proposes a simulation prediction model that is based on a radial basis function artificial neural network. This model is suitable for dealing with humidity in northern solar greenhouses. We select 600 groups of training data to establish the network model and to verify its accuracy. We then randomly select 80 groups for validation. With a 7.35% average error rate, the prediction model shows satisfactory performance. Thus, the results can be used to predict the relative humidity curve in a greenhouse, as well as provide a scientific basis for reasonable regulation and control of a greenhouse environment.

In this study, the leading indicator is considered as a new technical analysis method for evaluating stocks. This paper is written using the special characteristics and features of the principles of fluid motion, which can be applied to microscopic and macroscopic aspects of stock prices. Microscopic aspect: the stock that changes fastest is considered the leading indicator, which can be easily found by auto-filtering in Excel after working out the speed rate via program Matlab. The trend of other stocks will be predicted by analysing the leading indicator. Macroscopic aspect: determine the leading indicator, which are the top 10 stocks listed in the speed analysis results in the microscopic aspect. The trend of A-shares in a certain time period will be predicted according to the trend of the leading indicator. In order to verify the viability of the leading indicator analysis method in microscopic and macroscopic aspects, we do the following research. We collect 4 days of stock price data to find out the leading indicator via the microscopic or macroscopic leading indicator method. When the corresponding leading indicator is found, then we predict the trend of other stocks and A-shares in a certain time period, so that the feasibility of the leading indicator methods can be proved.

School of Business Administration, Nanchang Institute of Technology, Nanchang, China

Literature examining how stakeholder-oriented strategy helps non-profit organizations (NPOs) cope with environmental uncertainty is limited. Thus, this study builds and tests a mediating model to investigate the relationships among stakeholder orientation, social performance and financial performance of NPOs. Data from 32 NPOs were collected in east China. Multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships among the variables. The results revealed that stakeholder orientation has a positive and significant relationship with both social performance and financial performance. Meanwhile, it was discovered that social performance is significantly related to financial performance. Further, the results provided empirical evidence that the relationship between stakeholder orientation and financial performance was fully mediated by social performance. The limitations and future research directions were also discussed. This paper not only contributes to the theory of stakeholder orientation but also provides practical implications for NPOs on how to improve organizational performance.

The effect of distribution expansion on economic growth is examined as one of the sources of growth. The research available mostly focused on the direct effect of distribution and ignored the externality effect of distribution. The paper tested the direct effect of distribution on economic growth in Fujian province, China with the indicators such as direct contribution and direct contribution rate, and an analytical framework is developed, incorporating the possibility that marginal factor productivities are not equal in the distribution and non-distribution sectors of the economy. Econometric analysis utilizing this framework in the period 1978-2011 indicates that the existence of externality effect generated by distribution sector, which is much larger than the direct effect, significantly affected the economic growth in Fujian province, China. However, the results indicate the marginal productivity of distribution sector is lower than non-distribution sector in Fujian province, which constrains the externality effect of distribution sector. We should take action to improve the level of modernization and informationization of distribution sector and turn distribution sector from labour-intensive to technology-intensive as soon as possible.

With the steady implementation of the “Go Out” strategy, China has been developing rapidly in the outward foreign direct investment. This paper, based on the 2003-2012 panel data of Chinese outward foreign direct investment, applies systematic GMM model and variable intercept model to study the location choice of Chinese outward foreign direct investment. Research findings show that, the resource endowment and bilateral trade of the host country have significantly positive impacts on Chinese outward foreign direct investment, whereas the market size and technical merit of the host country bring about significant negative impacts. Therefore, domestic corporate outward foreign direct investment should still focus mainly on resource acquisition and trade complementarity rather than acquiring technologies.

Zhang Lei

School of Business Administration, Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics, Hangzhou, 310018, China

This paper studies the collaborative optimization of multi-generation co-existence supply chain network of single manufacturer, multi-distribution centre and market. Firstly, we considered the effects of prices, time and substitutability on the market demand of both new and old products and the whole production and marketing decision, and then subdivide the products demand of each generation. Secondly, considering that as the lifecycle stage of each generation differs, there exist differences in demand characteristics, which make the structure of supply chain network obviously different, we built WCVaR risk optimization model of production-distribution network under co-existence, which subjects to scattering distribution constraints and solve the model by Lingo11.0 and then made simulation analysis. Lastly, we verified the validity of the model with the optimization results of numerical simulation.

The sports elective course is an important means for college students to exercise their physical education and quality education. Because the students can choose the elective courses voluntarily online, teachers and colleges cannot learn the number of the students who choose the sports elective courses before the deadline. In this paper, we propose an improved GM (1, 1) prediction model to forecast the number of the students who take part in the sports elective courses and apply this model in the college sports information management system. Firstly, this paper puts forward the Grey prediction model with time parameter. Then, this paper studies the constructing mechanism and the modelling characteristics of this model. At last, we use the improved GM (1, 1) model to forecast the number of students who select the college sports elective courses in college sports information management system. High precision of the fitting and forecasting are obtained in the experiment while the result verifies the validity of the model.

Two-dimensional model of inclined uneven wall was established based on VOF method to numerically simulate the flow characteristics of liquid film. The impact of physical property on the flow field is studied. Water, acetone and ethyl alcohol were selected as the medium. The results indicate that liquid film thickness increases with liquid viscosity, while the phase difference between free surface and the uneven wall has no change. The continuous uniform film is easy to form while considering the surface tension. Furthermore, the phase difference and liquid film thickness both increase when taking the surface tension into account.

Multifractal analysis is a useful way to systematically describe the spatial heterogeneity of both theoretical and experimental fractal patterns. In this paper, we introduce a new box-covering algorithm to compute the generalized fractal dimensions of complex networks. We apply our method on networks built on disease-related gene microarray data and PPI networks. For each microarray data, we compare the difference of multifractal behaviour between gene networks that reconstructed from patients and normal micorarrays. The result suggests that multifractality exists in all the gene networks we generated and the differences in the shape of the Dq curves are obvious for all microarray data sets. Meanwhile, multifractal analysis could provide a potentially useful tool for gene clustering and identification between healthy people and patients. For the analysis of PPI networks, the results support that the algorithm is a suitable and effective tool to perform multifractal analysis of complex networks, and this method can be a useful tool to cluster and classify real PPI networks of organisms.

Machining distortion of titanium alloy monolithic component is closely related to the internal stress of material. In this paper, the various factors causing width effects of X-ray diffraction line were analysed, and the effect of stacking fault on diffraction spectrum was excluded according to the result of TEM experiment. The true diffraction spectrum, which can reflect inside information of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, was determined using MDI JADE peak shape analysis method. Further, the calculation model of microstress was constructed. Combining with the result of X-ray diffraction experiment, microstress in machining distortion of titanium alloy monolithic component was calculated. This work establishes the foundation for investigating the mechanism of machining distortion of titanium alloy monolithic component.

School of Electromechanical Engineering Xidian University, Xian, Shaanxi, 710071, China

In order to achieve the integration of the VERICUT tool library and tool management software, this paper studies the VERICUT tool integration technology based on CATIA parametric modelling. As the tool modelling ability is limited, VERICUT can neither achieve complex tool modelling nor generate the tool model by parameterization. Therefore, the secondary development based on VERICUT is unable to meet the integration requirements of tool information. This paper proposes a new integration approach, which transforms the integration of VERICUT and tool management software into VERICUT and CATIA tool information. Meanwhile, a feasible integrated development process is put forward. First, the tool model is parametrically driven by CATIA. Then, the integration of the CATIA tool library and tool management software is realized based on CAA. Finally, the transformation of CATIA and VERICUT tool model is accomplished, which indirectly realizes the integration of the VERICUT tool library and tool management software. During the NC machining simulation, VERICUT inherits the tool information and model generated by CATIA NC programming, which can ensure consistency with the tool information in tool management software. This paper solves the problem of integration of tool management software and VERICUT in the context of a digital manufacturing project; successful application of the proposed approach has greatly improved the efficiency of NC programming.

School of information science and engineering, Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China

Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) is a kind of generalized Fourier transform, which processes signals in the unified time-frequency domain and the linear frequency modulation signal can be well focused after FrFT. Motion error is an important factor affecting the SAR resolution, conventional wavenumber domain (CWD) algorithm  is an ideal solution of SAR focusing problem as long as nominal straight flight track is given, especially in the case of high squint angles and long synthetic apertures, but it has certain limitation in processing airborne SAR data affected by motion error, so extended wavenumber domain algorithm (EWD) is presented. Pointing to the problem that the effect of error elimination is not obvious in processing non-stationary motion error using EWD algorithm, FrFT based the two-step motion compensation combined squint wavenumber domain algorithm is put forward in this paper, which is expected to eliminate the influence of motion error more effectively, so as to obtain high quality SAR images. The simulation results and the imaging results of real SAR data show that the proposed algorithm can eliminate the influence of motion error effectively.

Geography Department of Shihezi University, Shihezi 832000, China

Remote sensing technology is widely used in real-time observations. In this study, therefore, salinization information was extracted from Thematic Mapper (TM) images. In particular, remote sensing information regarding saline soil was obtained to analyse its dynamic changes. This soil collected from the Manas River Basin in Xinjiang Province China was selected as the research area. Data from Landsat TM remote sensing images with seven bands were obtained in August 2010 as inputs, and salinization information was extracted using the e-Cognition system. As per this information, high-salinity soil is mainly distributed outside the oasis. The data were analysed further through the normalized differential vegetation, normalized difference water, and remote sensing image indices. Analysis results show that overall classification accuracy can reach 83.7%, thus demonstrating that the automatic extraction of information regarding saline soil is highly accurate. Furthermore, this information can be automatically and precisely extracted using an object-oriented method.

This study proposed the volume integral equation method to invert the complex resistivity parameters of 3D bodies in homogeneous half space. The partial derivative matrix of 3D bodies to complex resistivity was obtained with the use of electromagnetic field partial derivatives to the real resistivity combined with the complex resistivity spectrum partial derivatives of the Cole–Cole model. The classical damped least squares inversion method was applied. Results show that with at least four frequency data points, true complex resistivity parameters, as well as geometric parameters, can be inverted. The four parameters in the Cole–Cole model are interdependent. Chargeability and time constant are highly correlated, such that either one of these factors should be fixed prior to inversion. Furthermore, the proposed inversion algorithm we proposed has high efficiency because it only works in a split unit.
