The experiment is conducted by selective laser heating and melting the thin solder layer and then preprinting it on CCL in order to form the matrix with solder pads. Through the analysis of macro morphology of the matrix with solder pads and microstructure of single pads, this technique is proved to be suitable for preparing solder pads and that the solder pads are of good mechanical properties. The results also reveal that high frequency laser pulse is beneficial to the formation of better solder pad, and that the 12-W fiber laser with a beam diameter of 0.030 mm can solder Sn-Ag3.5-Cu0.7 successfully on CCL at 500-kHz pulse frequency. The optimized parameters of laser soldering on CCL are as follows: the laser power is 12 W, the scanning speed is 1.0 mm/s, the beam diameter is 0.030 mm, the lead-free solder is Sn-Ag3.5-Cu0.7, and the laser pulse frequency is 500 kHz. &copy; 20009 Chinese Optics Letters. &copy; 20009 Chinese Optics Letters.

Then, the variation of permea-tion flux and sensory characteristics during the ultrafiltration process were analyzed, and the selectivity and separation efficiency of ultrafiltration membrane were evaluated. The results show that (1) the permeation flux gradually decreases with the prolonging of ultrafiltration time; (2) after the ultrafiltration, the delicious flavor of permeation fraction significantly improves, and the fishy odor and the bitter taste almost disappear; (3) the permeation fraction mainly comprises peptides with the RMM of less than 4500; (4) peptides with the RMM of more than 5000 can also pass through the membrane with a relative molecular mass cut-off of 5000; (5) the real relative molecular mass cut-off of the ultrafiltration membrane is within the range of 7000~8000 approximately; and (6) after the ultrafiltration treatment, the proportion of delicious amino acids to the total amino acids in the permeation fraction increases, while those of both bitter and hydrophobic amino acids decrease.

Box 2533, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract: A robust three-dimensional discrete particle model (3D DPM) for unstructured meshes is presented to model the gas-solid flows in fluidized beds. The finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations of the gas phase. Inter-particle interactions are taken into account through the hard-sphere approach. The numerical models for the solid phase were implemented as a separate module in FLUENT by overcoming some limitations of the user-defined function approach. A multifaceted numerical strategy was developed to enhance the computational efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the model to capture many important characteristics such as bubbling, spouting, particle clustering and core-annulus flow structures in gas-solid systems at specified operating conditions.

The forgoing research gave the simulation results of single blowing during stretching, and did not pay attention to the influence of the deformation, resulting from the previous blowing, upon the next blowing. ANSYS software is adopted to simulate the through-continuous blowing of HVA and FA forging methods. The transversal stress distribution along the horizontal central axis on the crosssection of the stretched forging is analyzed. The simulation results show that uring the stretching with flat anvils, when the ratio of the flat anvil width to the billet height is 1.0 and the ratio of the billet width to the billet height is 0.5, the transversal stress is tensile all the time, and increases as the stretching goes. On the contrary, during the HVA stretching, the stress is compressive and its absolute value increases gradually. The results show that the HVA stretching method is prior to the FA stretching method in the controlling of transversal stress. Conducted physical experiment verified the results. &copy; (2009) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The first-stage controller is responsible for determining the control variable according to deviation information of controlled variable. The second-stage controller takes charges of adjusting the control variable coming from the first-stage controller through other process parameters. The algorithm takes full account of the impact of many process parameters on controlled variable. It uses two-stage fuzzy controller to decentralize process of control parameters, which makes it easy to extract fuzzy rules, greatly reduces the number of fuzzy rules and produces reasonable control outputs. Based on this algorithm, we have designed a two-stage fuzzy temperature control system for industrial heating furnace. Engineering applications show that the control algorithm has a lot of advantages such as high accuracy, strong robustness, etc. Its quality is superior to conventional control and it is suitable for long lag, non-linear system in particular. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

Tradtional detection depends on the isotope or fluorescence marker in the ssDNA library, but isotope have the danger of radiation and fluorescence is not stable enough in some situations. Therefore, searching for a new, safe and proper detection for the affinity of ssDNA library is needed for the SELEX technology. In the present paper, two colorimetry analytic methods ELISA and OD260 methods were explored and compared to study the affinity changes in the SELEX for aptamer against Vibrio alginolyticus. The results showed that the affintiy changed almost similarly in the two detecting ways. Comparatively, ELISA was a proper affintiy detecting method. Although the OD260 method was seemed to be more simple and available in the SELEX, influence of some impurities on the absorbance at 260nm could make it instable and limited its use. &copy;2009 IEEE.

Wetting and drying is a common and important phenomenon of the coastal ocean, and the process could not be simulated by POM using fixed boundaries. In this paper, we simulate the tides and tidal currents of Shenzhen Bay in China with POM coupling with an improved wetting and drying scheme. In order to simplify the calculation, a coordinate transformation is used to arrange the model domain. The modeled results agree well with the observed data and truly inflect the hydrodynamic characteristics of the sea, and successfully simulate the wetting and drying process of tidal flats as well. Based on the new definition of water depth, the improved wetting and drying scheme can also be used to simulate floodplain of a storm surge. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

In contrast to Lipschitz condition, we define a new condition following that | <sup>t1</sup><inf>t0</inf>f(t)dt|&le R max <inf>&xi;1,&xi;2&xi;[t0,t1]</inf> |f(&xi;1) - f(&xi;2)| with small R for all t0, t1 in the correlative intervals. Under the assumption of this new condition, we obtain a new asymptotic formula &phi;<inf>v</inf>(t) - Q<inf>v-1</inf>(t) = O((Rh)<sup>v</sup>), where simplex integral &phi;<inf>v</inf>(t) denotes |<sup>t</sup><inf>t0</inf> &mellip; | <sup>&xi;v-2</sup><inf>t0</inf> | <sup>&xi;v-1</sup><inf>t0</inf> f(&xi;<inf>v</inf>)d&xi;vd&xi;<inf>v-1</inf> &mellip; d&xi;1 and the v - 1-th polynomials Q<inf>v-1</inf>(t) in which coefficient correspond to simplex integrals &phi;n<inf>k</inf> (t) with n<inf>k</inf> &gt; v,k = 1, 2, &mellip;, v. In other words, the accuracy for approximation increasing rapidly as the integrable functions oscillate rapidly or for small step h while it's difficult for us to pursuit a polynomial to approximate a highly oscillatory function. Applying this idea of approximation to ODE, this paper surveys the algorithmic issues. If ODE has the form P<inf>n</inf>y<sup>(n)</sup> + P<inf>n-1</inf>y <sup>(n-1)</sup> + &mellip; + P<inf>1</inf>y' + P<inf>0</inf>y = g(t), where P<inf>n</inf>(t),P<inf>n-1</inf>(t), &mellip; , P<inf>0</inf>(t) are arbitrary degree polynomials, then we can solve it by the recursive relation about simplex integrals altogether with approximate relation. Finally, numerical examples about Airy and Bessel equations illustrate the efficiency of this technique. &copy; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.

As for the hydrodynamic calculation, the influence of radiation stress caused by wave, surface wind stress resulted to wave, and bottom shear stress under the combined effect of wave and current were considered. K-kl turbulence closure model was adopted to provide vertical eddy viscosity coefficient and vertical diffusion coefficient. The source function in the convective diffusion term was determined by the shear stress, and the flocculation was considered in the sedimentation velocity of suspended sediment, thereby the numerical simulation accuracy of suspended sediment field in Huangmao Sea was increased. The observed data show that the simulated values accord with the observed values on the whole. On the basis of model verification, the two kinds of different distribution characteristics of the suspended sediment were discussed, considering wave and without regard to wave.

However, hybrid crystals tend to occur in real production. Thermo-torsion method was adopted to investigate the dynamic recrystallization of Steel 26Cr2Ni4MoV when the strain rate was 0.04S<sup>-1</sup> and the deformation temperature was 800&deg;C, 900&deg;C, 1000&deg;C and 1100&deg;C, respectively. The critical strain was obtained when the Steel 26Cr2Ni4MoV dynamic recrystallization happens. Thermo-torsion testing results show that the dynamic recrystallization tended to occur when the temperature was high. The critical strain was 0.21 when the temperature was 1100&deg;C, but the maximum equivalent strain in real production of rotors forgings was 0.18, still smaller than the critical strain, which was necessary for the generation of dynamic recrystallization. Therefore, it is hard for dynamic recrystallization to happen in real production of rotors forgings. Fine and even crystals can be obtained through the static recrystallization after forging.

The AFSA takes the cluster center as food source and produces the initial fish swarm through sampling. The advantages of global optimization searching and rapid convergence of AFSA are utilized to find a superior initial cluster result. On this basis the FCM is applied to carry out the local search for the final optimization, by which the problem of falling into partial smallest value due to improper starting value possibly happened to FCM algorithm can be avoided. The proposed method is applied to analyze the flood data of Xijiang River. The result verifies that it gives more accurate and reasonable classification than that obtained by simplex FCM algorithm.

The relatively short-term signals with periods of about 6 months, 4 months, 3 months and 2 months are found besides seasonal and interannual variations mentioned in previous studies. Local wind stress curl plays an important role in controlling variation of bifurcation latitude except in the interannual timescale. The bifurcation latitude is about 13.3&deg;N in annual mean state and it lies at the northernmost position (14.0&deg;N) in January, at the southernmost position (12.5&deg;N) in July. The amplitude of variation of bifurcation latitude in a year is 1.5&deg;, which can mainly be explained as the contributions of the signals with periods of about 1 year (1.2&deg;) and 0.5 year (0.3&deg;). &copy; Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH 2009.

Based on gradient descent method, the learning rules (i.e., weights-iterative-formula) for the constructed neural network are derived. Then globalconvergence of the weights-iterative-formula is proved. As the results, a weights-direct-determination method is achieved, which could obtain the optimal weights of such a neural network in one step by using pseudo-inverse. Furthermore, several numerical tests have been conducted to apply this method to some harmonics models.

The free-living bacterial diversity was analyzed through the construction of 16S rDNA clone library. A total of 203 16S rDNA sequences from three clone libraries were classified into 118 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), of which 51, 31, and 42 OTUs were distributed in the ED, PV, and HDS pond, respectively, with Bacteroidetes (30.6%), Actinobacteria (55.2%), and Cyanobacteria (32.8%) as the dominant division in the respective ponds. Meanwhile, each pond occupied some unique OTUs that were affiliated with uncommon (sub-)phyla, such as candidate OP11 division, Acidobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Verrucomicrobia. Bacterial diversity in the ED pond was the richest, followed by the HDS and the PV pond. OTUs of 61.9% and 94.9% have less than 90% and 97% similarity to their nearest neighbors in public databases, respectively. All OTUs were grouped into 67 clusters, covering 11 (sub-)phyla. The OTUs only from single pond distributed in 53 clusters (79.1%), the OTUs shared by two ponds were affiliated with 14 clusters (20.9%), and none of clusters was formed by the OTUs which commonly originated from the three pond libraries, suggesting that the composition of bacterial populations in these ponds were significantly different. These results indicate that the aquatic environment created by different mariculture animals may foster very special and complex bacterial communities. &copy; Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.

Basing on it, this paper especially presents a designed Edge Marking Fill algorithm aiming at elongated polygon. The idea is to design an algorithm, which signs out the pixel activated double times, then bounce out the function of edge marking fill algorithm and fill it with polygon pixel value. It solves the shortage that Edge Marking Fill Algorithm can not pick up the couple pixels for single point in the case of elongated polygon. The experimental results show that the new designed algorithm can be carried out easily and efficiently. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

The optimization function is the product of the negentropy contrast function for the well-known fast fixed-point negentropy based FastICA algorithm and the autocorrelation function of the extracted source. Because the autocorrelation function of FECG has a peak at a given point, the product can give a feasible estimate of FECG. Experiments with synthetic signals and real-world data confirm that it is valid and robust to the estimate of the peak point.

At present, there is some deficiency in sound velocity prediction equation with the help of regression fitting method. So it is difficult to obtain sound velocity prediction equation with more than three parameters. This paper applies artificial intelligent method to build a neural network model of multi-parameter sound velocity prediction. The investigation indicates that prediction error of two-parameter-neural-network-model is smaller than the corresponding two-parameter-regression-model, prediction accuracy of which is lower than three-parameter-neural- network-model.

Pinch technology is used to analyze the cooling of the wet air after compressor and the water used for cooling wet air after compressor. Its refrigeration depends mainly on the sensible heat of air and the latent heat of water vapor, its performance is more efficient than a conventional air-cycle, and the utilization of turbo-machinery makes it possible. The adoption of this cycle will make deep freeze easily and reduce initial cost because very low temperature, about -55 &deg;C, air is obtained. The sensitivity analysis of coefficient of performance to the efficiency of compressor and the efficiency of compressor, and the results of the cycle are also given. The simulation results show that the COP of this system depends on the temperature before turbine, the efficiency of compressor and the efficiency of compressor, and varies with the wet bulb temperature of the outdoor air. Humid air is a perfect working fluid for deep freeze with no cost to the user. &copy; 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

The heat transfer ability of the pin-fin arrays increased with the increasing of the Reynolds number within the range of Reynolds numbers from 3000 to 15000. The experimental researches were carried out with 8 kinds of distance of parted-space combinations. The results show that the larger the distance of parted-space, the less the Nusselt number.

From 2000 to 2008, there were about 70 times storms or typhoons passed over the South China Sea Area (108-120&deg;E, 14-24&deg;N). In this article, authors used SeaWiFS, MODIS and serials of NOAA satellite data to statistic analysis the effects of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and SST in the study area caused by tropic storms and typhoons near last decade and found: firstly, the Ekman Pumping Velocity (EPV) was up-to 1.4x10<sup>-3</sup> m s<sup>-1</sup> by typhoon CHAUCHU in 2006, and was more ten times than that without typhoon. It pumped the nutrients to the euphotic zone and improved the increment of Chl-a concentration with the rate of 58.33%. and this typhoon caused the maximum decrease of SST was up to 7&deg;C. At the same time, the average increment of Chl-a in the whole study area was about 21.13% but the decrease rate of SST was 6.36% by 16 typhoons. From the results of statistic analysis we found out that the isopycnal displacement of the seasonal thermocline explains 53% and the weight of the typhoon explains 55% of the variance of Chl-a by typhoons; In addition, the maximum amplitude of the increment of Chl-a in the study area was near to the east of Vietnam, it was up to 53%. But near the pear river estuary area with high Suspended Sand Concentration (SSC) the chl-a density decreased after typhoon and the descent rate of Chl-a was about 35%. &copy; 2009 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.

From the magnetic measurements as function of temperature and magnetic applied field, we have discovered that the Curie temperature (T<inf>C</inf>) of the prepared samples is found to be strongly dependent on Gd content. The Curie temperature of samples is 358.4, 343.2, and 285.9 K for x=0.1, 0.15, and 0.2, respectively. A large magnetocaloric effect close to T<inf>C</inf> has been observed with a maximum of magnetoentropy change in all the samples, {divides}&Delta;S<inf>M</inf>{divides}<inf>max</inf> of 1.96 and 4.90 J/kg K at 2 and 5 T, respectively, for a substitution rate of 0.15.

Box 2533, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract: An accurate and efficient analytical method for computing the three-dimensional local void fraction is proposed in the context of discrete particle modeling. It is developed for the general case of unstructured meshes whose use is unavoidable to efficiently simulate modern gas-solid fluidized bed reactors characterized by complex geometries. The method relates the three-dimensional void fraction to several geometrical parameters. This allows the exact voidage evaluation for the frequently occurring case of having particles not wholly contained within one grid cell regardless its shape. Failing to accurately account for these common particle configurations in dense gas-particle systems has proven detrimental to the accuracy of their simulations. &copy; 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

A deep-sea analytical eddy model [Henrick RF, Siegmann WL, Jacobson MJ. General analysis of ocean eddy effects for sound transmission applications. J Acoust Soc Am 1977;62:860-870] is used to determined sound speed distributions produced by warm-core ring in the southwest of South China Sea. Furthermore, the above analytical eddy model is generalize to include the azimuth angle variation and is used to determined sound speed distributions produced by Gulf Stream rings with different strengths. The theoretical temperature fluctuations induced by the warm eddy and a eddy field including three cyclonic eddies agree qualitatively with the in situ investigation data. The transmission loss of acoustic energy through the cross section of the warm-core ring center and three cyclonic eddy centers is simulated using 2-D parabolic-equation (PE) numerical modeling. It is found that the acoustic field has a significant change with variation of the location of SOFAR axis in the presence of the warm eddy and three cyclonic eddies comparing with the scenario of no eddies. When the source is located in the outside of the warm-core eddy and three cyclonic eddies respectively, and the receiver is located in outside of the eddy, the transmission loss as a function of range is investigated at different receive depth. It is shown that the changes of transmission loss caused by the warm-core eddy and three cyclonic eddies are as much as 20 dB than that of no-eddy situation. In the case of three cyclonic eddies, the largest discrepancy of transmission loss is about 40 dB near the range of 45 km for a 25-Hz source being located at a depth of 1500 m. &copy; 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Four fibrous-root and four rhizomatic-root wetland plants were studied in mono-cultured microcosms which received wastewater. Fibrous-root plants had significantly greater (P &lt; 0.05) small-size root (diameter 1 mm) biomass and a larger (P &lt; 0.05) root surface area per plant than the rhizomatic-root plants and exhibited accelerated growth in both shoots and roots compared to the rhizomatic-root plants. Fibrous-root plants developed the majority of their root biomass increment within a shallower gravel medium than the rhizomatic-root plants. All plants demonstrated fast root biomass growth from July to September. The wetland microcosms planted with fibrous-root plants showed significantly higher (P &lt; 0.05) ammonium-nitrogen (NH<inf>4</inf>-N) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO<inf>3</inf>-N) removal rates from July to December than those planted with the rhizomatic-root plants. These results suggest that root characteristics of wetland plants, which are related to their shoot and root growth, root distribution, and decontamination ability, can be used in the selection of wetland plants with a higher contaminant removal capacity and in the construction of a multi-species wetland plant community. &copy; 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

A numerical model based on one-dimensional Saint-Venant equation is used to resolve the hydrodynamics of the whole river network which involves more than one hundred natural rivers and artificial channels to provide upward boundary conditions for the estuary-coastal ocean model. In order to accurately satisfy the irregular coastlines and numerous islands as well as meet the need of grid flexibility and higher resolution, the three-dimensional unstructured-grid Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) is applied to simulate the interacting processes of tidal forcing and river discharge. By establishing a communicational mechanism, these two models are integrated into a simulation system. Then, the simulation system is well calibrated and validated using field measurement and remote sensing data. The results show that the simulation system can correctly capture the dynamic processes of interactions between river discharge and oceanic and meteorological forcings. Based on the validated simulation system, several process-oriented numerical experiments are conducted to study the dynamic process and find out the relationship between these effecting factors such as river discharge, tidal forcing, wind, bathymetric etc. Simulation results indicate that fresh water drifting westward during ebb tide and seawater directly intruding during flood tide is the controlling dynamic process leading seawater intrusion. These important effects on the seawater intrusion from the dynamic interactions have never been investigated and have largely been neglected in the previous investigations of seawater intrusion in the Pearl River Delta and Estuarine area for its complexity of dynamics, which is characterized as "hundreds of interlaced rivers and eight connected outlets to South China Sea".

At first, we introduce a new type of traffic termed IF-flow (internal flow) collected in router. IF-flow can make the attack traffic more conspicuous in a large number of normal traffics, which makes attacks, especially DDoS attacks, spotted more easily. Then, the analysis of Renyi cross entropy of IF-flow matrix traffic, Abilene matrix traffic confirms that matrix traffic distribution has local stability in time. This conclusion provides a guidance to accurately detect anomaly. Finally, Renyi cross entropy is used to detect DDoS attacks existed in IF-flow testing data set and Abilene testing data set. The results of detection experiments show Renyi cross entropy based method can detect DDoS attacks at the beginning with higher detection rate, lower false alarm than Shannon entropy based method. &copy; 2009 Asian Network for Scientific Information.

In fact the actual phenomena of transient waveforms of travelling waves is much more complicated than what we get from simulation which engenders the difficulties of using every single-ended travelling wave based on location algorithms that has been advised so far. In order to better apply the Type A single-ended modern travelling wave based on fault location principle for transmission lines which achieved by using fault induced transient travelling waves to the actual waveform based on transient analysis it is classified to 3 independent modes of operation including: standard mode, extended mode and consolidated mode respectively.

Autolysis of SH by several temperature conditions (40 &deg;C, 50 &deg;C, 60 &deg;C and gradual temperature) at its initial pH showed protein recovery of 43.6%, 73.6%, 50.3% and 87.4%, respectively. Autolysis of SH by gradual temperature (temperature was risen 5 &deg;C every half an hour, from 40 &deg;C to 70 &deg;C) served best for the preparation of autolysis hydrolysate (AH) with the maximum degree of hydrolysis (DH) 48.6% and the maximum protein recovery 87.4%. Subsequently, the chemical components of SH and its AH obtained by gradual temperature were investigated and comparably evaluated. Protein contents of SH and AH by gradual temperature method amounted to 60.6% and 88.8% (dry basis), respectively. Both SH and AH had high contents of tasting or functional amino acids. The contents of essential amino acids (EAA) of SH and AH were 340.26 and 405.30 mg/g protein, respectively. The amino acids scores of SH and AH were 73 and 96, respectively. The EAA of AH covered 96-100% of the FAO/WHO ideal protein. The high performance size exclusion chromatography of AH showed that with the increasing of DH values, there occurred a larger amount of smaller polypeptides with molecular weight &lt;5000 Da. The nutritional value of SH could be greatly enhanced by gradual temperature autolysis. &copy; 2008.

Laser soldering was experimented on copper clad laminate with Sn-Ag-Cu lead-free solder with 100% 12 W power SP-12P fiber pulse laser soldering system, and laser soldering experiment was carried out with different pulse frequency and scanning mode. The results show that cavitations occur and oxide film is crushed on the interface between solder and bonding pad under linear scanning mode by 500 kHz laser. The solder is wet and spreads on the bonding pad, and then laser soldering comes true on the copper clad laminate with Sn-Ag-Cu lead-free solder by pulse laser scanning.

The objective of our work was to determine the content and composition of lipids and fatty acids in the different tissues of cobia from China and to evaluate their nutritional value. The results showed that cobia from China was rich in lipids; the neutral lipid content was above 82%; the content of cholesterol and phospholipid was low. Eighteen fatty acids were identified. Myristic (C14:0), palmitic (C16:0), and stearic acids (C18:0) were the main saturated acids; palmitoleic (C16:1n-7) and oleic acid (C18:1n-9) were the main monounsaturated fatty acids. EPA and DHA were the main PUFA; n-3 and n-6 PUFA were present as 12-18% and 2.6-3.2% of the total fatty acids, respectively. The n-6/n-3 ratio was in the range from 0.18 to 0.22, which was far lower than that (5:1) recommended by WHO/FAO. Therefore, cobia lipids from China have a high nutritional value. &copy; 2009 AOCS.

Use these neural networks as the identifier model of the chaotic time series. Then, by varying the chaotic initial value and inputting to the networks, can produce new chaotic series, which are close to the theoretical values. We extract a subsequence as same length as the plaintext from the chaotic series and sort it. At last, by permuting the plaintext according to the sorted results of the subsequence, we can achieve the ciphertext. In the encryption system, the security of it depends completely on the complexity and unpredictability of the chaos. Especially, by varying the chaotic initial value, we can implement asynchronous "one-time pad cipher" encryption. The theoretical analysis and encryption instances proved that our arithmetic is useful, simple and high security, and it also has many advantages that a synchronous system can never achieve. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

Considering sensory quality of products affected the acceptance of consumer, electronic nose (E-nose) and sensory evaluation by human taste panel were used to analysis fish flavor. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) indicated the flavor quality of rapid fermented fish was close to the traditional fermented fish, even though cured fish had more response value of sensor. When traditional fermented fish was acted as standard, rapid fermented fish located nearer accepted range than cured fish by analysis of Statistical Quality Control (SQC). The result was explained by sensory evaluation of human taste panel: only cured fish had strong fishy smell, peculiar flavor of salted fish, and little aroma; traditional fermented fish had thick aroma and a little bad smell for oil oxidation; rapid fermented fish had obvious aroma. The result indicated that rapid fermentation for production of traditional fish was possible. The differences of flavor among three groups of fish were distinguished by E-nose, same as sensory evaluation. So E-nose acted as a new method could be successfully used in aroma identification of foods. &copy;2009 IEEE.

The concept of the upper envelope for all the whitecap coverage data versus wind speed has been proposed, and it is assumed to correspond to the whitecap coverage in the case of the infinite wind duration and fetch to determine the model constants.

The danger theory, which depicts the immune system, is quite similar to the problems of network security, has been considering potential recognitional application values in network security problems. However, the definition of pivotal danger signals have not yet been defined in present literatures, which is also a hard problem that translate the danger theory into the realms of network security and limit its further application. In this paper, the definition danger signals are given. Furthermore, mathematic equations of the danger evaluation and danger alert are built in turn. NIIDS solves the problems of huge alerts and low quality of alert information, and can also evaluate the real-time intrusion attack and anomaly menace, which are troublesome in the existed intrusion detection models. Simulations of this model were performed, and the comparison experiment results show that NIIDS surmounts the current computer immune system and traditional intrusion detection models.

This study focus on the area(120-130&deg;E,22-34&deg;N). The SST and Chl-a are monitored using MODIS data. the temperature and salinity are observed in situ from Argo. the change of these variables are simulated by COHERENS. In addition, the Ekman Pumping Velocity(EPV) are calculated. The results are as follows: Firstly, the SST in the study area before NARI was 27.23&deg;C, from 13th to 18th on Sep in 2007 was 25.65&deg;C with the minimum SST of 24.91&deg;C on 14th during NARI. Secondly, the Chl-a before and after NARI was 0.86mg/m3 and 1.23 mg/m<sup>3</sup> respectively. On 5th day after hurricane, Chl-a reached to 1.95 mg/m <sup>3</sup>. These observations of SST and Chl-a basically kept in consistence with the numerical simulation based on COHERENS in trend. Thirdly, the EPV before NARI was 2&times;10-5m/s, on the 15th up-to 3.5&times;10-4 m/s. Finally, the two groups of temperature and salinity data from Argo are on 4th and 14th. The observations showed that SST dropped from 29.95&deg;C to 28.82&deg;C. The average water temperature of 760 meters depth was 19.06&deg;C and 17.85&deg;C on 4th and 14th, respectively. The thermoclines were significantly weakened both in the surface and subsurface layer, the maximum salinity was 34.9psu on 4th near 100 meters and 34.86psu on 14th near the 130 meters depth. The salinity of the halocline decreased because of vertical mixing between the two layers with low-salt. &copy; 2009 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.

We put emphases on the design of forward inference engine based on neural network and reverse inference engine based on rule system. In the whole expert system, neural network serves as a forward inference engine for the expert system. It accepts standardized raw data input of the diseases and insect pests and gives the diagnosis conclusion after reasoning process. Reverse reasoning is made by rule system, which is going to verify the diagnosis conclusions provided by neural network. In this way, the reasoning speed of entire system and correct diagnosis rate are greatly increased. At the same time, the rule system provides control methods for diseases and insect pests according to the diagnosis conclusions and also provides its geographical distribution information based on GIS. The experimental results show that the expert system has an accurate and reliable performance, so it has a good promotion prospects for applications. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

To deal with this problem, based on double populations searching scheme, an improved differential evolution algorithm was proposed for multi-objective constraint optimization problem. Two different populations were adopted to preserve constraints in optimization process, one was feasible solutions, and the other was infeasible solutions. To evaluate evolutionary individual, Pareto-based sorted ranking multi-objective technology was adopted. In addition, population chaotic initialization, adaptive crossover and mutation were adopted at the same time in order to improve the algorithm performance. Through experiments on three benchmark functions with constraints and multi-objectives, it showed that the proposed algorithm was superior to nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II in the measure of uniformity, approximability and convergence speed, and was better than other two advanced evolutionary algorithms in the measure of convergence speed.

In order to solve this problem, we have designed a two-stage fuzzy control system based on genetic algorithm for urban traffic intersections. The first-stage is phase selection module, the second-stage is green delay module. On the basis of the control decision-making made by the fuzzy controller, we use genetic algorithms (GA) to adjust the values on the fuzzy control query table coming from the output of fuzzy controller and optimize its values by using the average pass rate of vehicles as objective function. Through a simulation for a four-phase intersection, the result shows that this control algorithm has many advantages including flexible combination of phase, big average pass rate of vehicles, and it can effectively solve the problem of imbalance between traffic flow. So it is more suitable for real-time variable traffic conditions at urban intersections. Copyright ASCE 2009.

According to the theories of sustainable development, hierarchy-competence levels, cybernetics and feedback, 25 factors have been chosen from human society, economy and nature that affect forest ecosystem management so that they are systematically analyzed via developing an interpretive structural model (ISM) to reveal their relationships and positions in the forest ecosystem management. The ISM consists of 7 layers with the 3 objectives for ecosystem management being the top layer (the seventh layer). The ratio between agricultural production value and industrial production value as the bases of management decision-making in forest ecosystems becomes the first layer at the bottom because it has great impacts on the values of society and the development trends of forestry, while the factors of climatic environments, intensive management extent, management measures, input-output ratio as well as landscape and productivity are arranged from the second to sixth layers respectively. &copy; 2009 ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.

This paper attempts to use neural network to the surface-wave frequency dispersion curve inversion. First, a geological model of four horizontal layers is designed, with each layer given different thickness, density, velocity parameters, and a finite-difference wave equation is applied for full-wave field forward modeling. Then the surfacewave records are extracted by singular value decomposition method, used to calculate frequency dispersion curves as neural network training samples. Finally, the trained neural network is used to inverse the formation parameters. The forecasting results show that neural network is an effective method to the formation parameters inversion. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

The immobilized enzyme retains its bioactivity, exhibits a surface confined, reversible two-proton and two-electron transfer reaction, and has good stability, activity and a fast heterogeneous electron transfer rate with the rate constant (k<inf>s</inf>) of 2.83 s<sup>-1</sup>. A much higher enzyme loading (1.12 &times; 10<sup>-9</sup> mol/cm<sup>2</sup>) is obtained as compared to the bare glass carbon surface. This GOD-graphene-chitosan nanocomposite film can be used for sensitive detection of glucose.

Finally, recognition is accomplished by memory cells. It is tested by the well-known letter recognition data set of UCI (University of California at Irvine). Compared with HSAC (Letter Recognition Using Holland-Style Adaptive Classifiers), LEBAI showed that recognition accuracy is increased from 82.7% to 95.58%.

Two kinds of shrimp flavorings were prepared, using shrimp (Penaeus Vannamei) head as raw materials. SPME-GC-MS was adapted to analysis the characteristic volatile of the flavorings. Then E-nose was used to detect overall product aroma as a kind of sensory array fingerprint analysis method. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminate analysis (LDA) were used to investigate the different of the two samples. Among the volatiles identified by GC-MS, hydrocarbons, alcoholics, ketones, aldehydes, esters, furans, pyrroles and pyrazines were the primary constituents of shrimp flavorings, and difference in volatile aroma profiles were observed between the two flavorings. There are more compounds of pyrazines produced after MR, which have characterized bake, nut, and meat flavor, and more pyrroles provide characterized full-bodied shrimp flavor. RSD of E-nose is under 3% and the similarity 71.5%. E-nose can able to successfully differentiate and identify the flavor between the two different flavorings. According to these results, it can be concluded that the combination of sensors and actuators technology with SPME-GC-MS analysis provides a great deal of information and a more complete picture of the shrimp flavorings. &copy;2009 IEEE.

The validity and advantage of the new solution were proved by comparing the results of wave profiles and wave pressures with those of Huang and Jia [H. Huang, F. Jia, The patterns of surface capillary gravity short-crested waves with uniform current fields in coastal waters, Acta Mech. Sinica 22 (2006) 433-441] and Hsu [J.R.C. Hsu, Y. Tsuchiya, R. Silvester, Third-order approximation to short-crested waves, J. Fluid Mech 90 (1979) 179-196]. The important influences of currents on the wave profiles, wave frequency, the ratio of maximum crest height to the total wave height, and wave pressure are investigated for both small-scale (for example, the incident wave wavelength is 9.35 cm) and larger-scale (for example, the incident wave wavelength is 5 m) short crested wave. By numerical computation, we find wave frequency of short crested wave system is greatly affected by incident wave amplitude, incident angle, water depth, surface tension coefficient and the strength of the currents for small-scale incident wave. Furthermore, for the larger-scale short crested wave system, the higher-order solution with uniform current is particularly important for the prediction of wave profile and wave pressure for different water depth and incident angle. Computational results show that with the increase of the current speed, the crests of wave profile and wave pressure become more and more steep. In some cases, the crest value of wave pressure with strong current would be larger about six times than that of no current. Therefore, ocean engineers should consider the short crested wave-current load on marine constructs carefully. &copy; 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Three heat recovery plans are compared and analyzed, while two ways about cooling recovery of ice-melting pool are compared. The results of analysis show that different heat recovery modes have different energy efficiency. Sensible heat recovery process is simple and practical. Combined recovery of sensible heat and heating pump latent heat is complicated. Heat recovery efficiency of total heat recovery is affected by inlet and outlet temperature of recovered water. Besides the volume of recovered water is defined without adjustment and the quality of water is unguaranteed. Indirect cooling recovery of ice-melting pool is a convenient and practical method which performs better in summer than winter. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

TA four-dimensional model for evaluating the land use performance was built with taking the index of land use intensivism, land use degree, land use efficiency and land use benefit as variables, the evaluation index system was constituteed by choosing 23 evaluation index. It calculated the index of land use performance of Zhanjiang city from 1996 to 2006 using the investigation data of land use change and social and economic statistic data, and evaluateed the land use sustainability. The results showed that the land use degree was a decreasing trend generally with higher level, but the land use intensity, efficiency, benefits were increased evidently. The land use performance was a steady growth trend with lower level, and the index of land use performance increased from 0.3172 in 1996 to 0.7163 in 2006. The sustainability indices were more than zero from 1997 to 2006 using 1996 as the base year. The land use was in the sustainable stage, which indicated that the utilization of land resources was being optimized gradually in Zhanjiang city. Regional distribution of land use performance and sustainability had a certain zonal characteristics. Finally, it puted forward some suggestions on land sustainable use according to the existing problem of land use.

By this method, not only the traffic flow of every phase is considered, but also the green time and red time. Base on this algorithm, a two-stage fuzzy control system which consist of the green time delay module and phase selection module is designed.

According to the features that wireless sensor networks have no space constraints, flexible distribution, mobile convenience and quick reaction, we present a scheme that uses wireless sensor networks to monitor city transport vehicles and have designed a traffic monitoring system based on wireless sensor network that is applicable to all types of city environment. With the system, we can monitor the important roads that are easily blocked and find out the time changing law of traffic congestion, and then put the focus on monitoring them in order to greatly reduce the investment and achieve high efficiency. As far as the traffic flow forecasting methods concerned, we use Adaptive GM (1, 1) Model which have a real-time rolling forecast for city traffic and have a better forecast results. Because of the fewer study about the traffic congestion control in the current academia, we make a deep study about the traffic congestion control issues in this article. Learn from mature congestion control algorithm in computer network, we have designed an algorithm of traffic flow congestion control and scheduling for traffic network, which is called TRED. We have used it for real-time traffic scheduling and have opened up a new way to study and solve traffic congestion control problems. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

The grain size, reactive iron contents, and organic carbon contents of sediment samples were also analyzed in part cores. The AVS contents of sediment vary in a large range as 0.4-198.4 &mu;mol/g, with an average value of 28.1 &mu;mol/g. Reactive iron contents range from 25.52 &mu;mol/g to 169.26 &mu;mol/g, with an average value of 91.22 &mu; mol/g. Organic carbon contents are 0.4-198.4 &mu;mol/g, with an average value of 28.1 &mu;mol/g. Characters of high AVS, organic carbon content, and reactive iron content are obvious in three cores which close with the Licun River. And the AVS have good relationships with reactive iron content either in single core or between cores. So, the formation of AVS in the sediments is controlled by the availability of reactive iron in area near the Licun River where organic carbon is supplied from river and it's content is abundant. The bottom water is in a reductive environment at this area. In the area which has a little distance with the Licun River, the supply of organic carbon and the changing of environment redox state become the controlling factor of AVS formation in the sediments since the organic carbon supply lessens from the Licun River. The geochemistry character of sediment in the estuary area is influenced remarkably by the material inputted form river. &copy;2009 IEEE.

The simulation was complemented by computing steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations to study the effect of mass x velocity and total pressure from throat, which has arc or not and different throat arc radius. Also, the fluent mass and thrust force effects were studied. It is observed by the study that x orientation mass velocity of thrust exit and thrust force are effected by the throat which has arc or not and throat arc radius. With the increase of throat Reynolds, the corresponding throat radius for the maximal fluent mass and thrust force increases accordingly.

Multiple network traffic indicators are predicted by recursive least square and the allowable statistical range based on the prediction errors are used to detect anomaly. Detection results are finally normalized. The method has the following traits: no training from any historical data, reducing the number of alarms, remarkably, and highlighting the severity of alarms. Testing results on DARPA intrusion detection data sets show that the proposed method is more suitable to detect denial of service attacks, and has a higher detection rate, faster speed and lower alarm rate than similar existing methods with same dimension of weight vectors.

The morphology, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The results show that the crystal structure of starch in the composite disappears after modification with esterification, and the starch particles with an average size around 200 nm homogenously disperse throughout the natural rubber (NR) matrix. The thermal stability of composite is improved significantly after the modification with starch. The mechanical properties of composite are enhanced with the increase of starch loading. The composite possesses the best properties at the starch xanthate content of 20 parts per hundred rubber (phr). The enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties of modified starch/NR composite are mainly due to the improved phase interface interactions between rubber and starch.

Because of its rich teaching resource and friendly interaction, network teaching has become more and more preferred mode of teaching aid at colleges and universities. In this paper, we firstly introduce the concept of three-dimensional network teaching resource. In order to eliminate the phenomenon of teaching resource islands, we present a teaching resource grid system model based on multi-agent distributed expert system. By means of grid technology, network resource and teaching resource are globally integrated and shared. In this model, we also introduce multi-agent distributed expert system to improve the efficiency of teaching resource retrieval and positioning, as well as to realize the intelligence of knowledge answer. In this way, we have designed a high intelligent teaching resource grid system. The greatest contribution of this paper is that we have proposed the architecture model of grid system with high intelligence for teaching resource. In the end of this paper, we also study organization efficiency and communication efficiency for teaching resource grid system based on multiagent distributed expert system. A method of logical domain management and a sort of mechanism of agent communication alliance have been introduced, which greatly enhances the organization efficiency and the communication efficiency for multi-agent distributed expert system. &copy;2009 IEEE.

The former is used for vehicles to run, while the latter is used to transmit data packets. The problem of traffic flow congestion in a traffic network is also similar to that of packet congestion in a computer network. Up to now, there are a lot of researches about the problem of packet congestion control algorithm for a computer network, but while there is a relatively little study about the problem of traffic congestion for a traffic network from the point of whole network in current academia. In order to find a good way to control traffic congestion, learning from theory and technology on computer networks, we have made a comprehensive study about modeling and congestion control algorithm for a transportation network. Firstly, we set up a switching model for whole traffic network and put functions of congestion detection and controlling into switching nodes. Based on it, we have made a further study about issue of traffic congestion control and scheduling. By introducing PID control model into it, we design a new algorithm, which is called TPID. By this way, we have improved the performance and efficiency to design a traffic congestion control system for a traffic network. Copyright ASCE 2009.

The forging method is superior to the common flat anvils (FA) forging method in inner stress states, metal tissue, overall properties and geometrical shapes of forgings. The foregoing research gave the simulation results of single blowing during stretching, and failed to pay attention to the influence of the deformation, resulting from the previous blowing, upon the next blowing. The APDL tool supplied by ANSYS software was adopted to build up the parametric model of HVA forging method, simulate the through continuous blowing for billets with rectangular crosssection. The transversal stress distribution along the central axis on the crosssection of the stretched forging is analyzed. The results show that during the stretching with horizontal V-shaped anvils, when the ratio of the flat anvil width to the billet height is 1.0 and the ratio of the billet width to the billet height is 0.5, the transversal stress is compressive all the time. The absolute value of the compressive stress increases as the stretching goes. On the contrary, according to the new theory of flat anvil stretching for rectangular crosssection billet, the stress would be tensile if flat anvils were used under the same parameters. The results indicate that horizontal V-shaped anvils prevail over the flat anvils in the transversal stress controlling. Experiments verified the results.

In this paper, according to grey theory, a grey correlative model which is variable weights and based on water chemistry and productivity indicators is constructed to evaluate the marine environmental quality of Shenzhen Bay. The results show that the sea water quality of Shenzhen Bay is in IV class and beyond the III class management objective for water quality in Shenzhen Bay, indicating the sea water has been seriously polluted. The overall trend of pollution is that the inside is greater than the mouth of the bay; Shenzhen side is greater than Hong Kong side; and the most polluted area are estuaries and docks, suggesting that the pollution of land-based sources is the main reason for water quality damage. The results are not only accordance with that of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, but also can further rank the assessment objects, and the grey correlative assessment is reliable and could be used for marine environmental quality assessment. &copy; 2009 IEEE.

Sediment samples of Core NH-1 were analyzed for total carbonate content, &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of total carbonates and biogenic carbonates, and organic carbon content. The results show that &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of total carbonates were between -6.09&permil; and -0.48&permil;, while &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of planktonic foraminifera shells (Globigerinoides rube) were between -0.834&permil; and 0.004&permil;. Sediment total carbonate contents were higher with an average of 6.90%. It was deducted that &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of anthigenic carbonates in the sediments would be much more negative than normal, which may suggest high methane flux in sediments at this site. High methane flux was suggestive of the possible existence of gas hydrate formation or gas reservoir at depth at this site. &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of total carbonates correlated well with organic carbon contents as well as nitrogen contents, which indicated that organic matter contributed partially to the negative &delta;<sup>13</sup>C values of authigenic carbonates. The &delta;<sup>13</sup>C carbon isotope characters of carbonate in the sediments of Core NH-1 reflect a combined geochemistry process of methane anoxic oxidation and sulfate reduction with the organic carbon anoxic oxidation and sulfate reduction in the background of high methane flux. It was shown that &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of total carbonates could be used to estimate &delta;<sup>13</sup>C of authigenic carbonates and could be used as a substitutional indicator for the existence of high methane flux in sediments.

We only need to adjust the weights between hidden layer and output layer. Then, using the least square method, we could deduce the formula of computing weights directly. Furthermore, the basic ideas of the sieve-decrease algorithm of polynomial neural networks are described and discussed in details, together with several new concepts, such as weight-sieve, sieve-pore diameter, sieve-decrease rate,etc. Two illustrative computer-simulations substantiate that the improved polynomial feed-forward neural networks possess superior performance, and show that the number of hidden neurons decreases respectively by 98.19% and 80%, as compared to primal neural networks. &copy; 2008 IEEE.

Based on the measured absorption of CDOM data, it was found that the band combination of R667/R410 has the ability to retrieve the CDOM. A local algorithm for estimation of CDOM was developed. The application of the algorithm shows that the estimated CDOM absorption is in close agreement with that measured values. The relative error of the estimated CDOM absorption is generally less 30%. The distributions of CDOM indicating the river water is a main source of CDOM in this estuary. &copy;2009 IEEE.

The results indicate that the response characteristics of FBG have very good linearity, and the linearity of FBG packaged by aluminum is best, but its response time is slower because of lower heat conductivity of packing material, and that higher thermal expansion coefficient of packaging base material can effectively reduce the nonlinearity of FBG sensor in high temperature environment. At last, a method improving the temperature sensitivity of FBG sensor and reducing FBG's nonlinear response versus temperature was presented, and packaging material is selected according to response time versus temperature change. &copy; 2009 SPIE.
