Abstract: The research examines the relationship between propensity to connect with others, social networks and job satisfaction. Social networks serve as a social resource which affects job satisfaction through the provision of supportiveness. The characteristics of nursing are life-related and emotion-consumed job. It is argued that both advice and friendship networks are important in a work setting. The research team developed a questionnaire and administered during an on-job training of the nurses. To derive the participants¡¦ advice and friendship networks, they were asked to list the names whom they consulted when they needed to know something about work and whom they considered to be their friends. Job satisfaction and the propensity to connect with others were also measured. The results showed that propensity to make acquaintance and outdegree were correlated with job satisfaction. Most of all, the advice and friendship networks were partially overlapped. It was conc!
luded that the human resource professional shoud care about both formal and informal relationships.

Abstract: The use of non-comercial sofware is sometimes disregarded and not properly considerd in all its implications and possibilities for scientific research and higher education. One example is R, is a freely available software which is increasingly being used in a wide range of scientifc fields and adopted by many institutions as a standard. It can be a most valuable tool to bring together the efforts from all the scientific community, ranging from students to senior scientists worldwide. Two examples corresponding to two research groups from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) are shown. The conclusion is that R is an excellent tool to bridge high education and research and may represent a valuable contribution to the advantage of scientific knowledge.

Title of the Paper: Fast Word Detection in a Speech Using New High Speed Time Delay Neural Networks

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to speed up the operation of time delay neural networks for fast detecting a word in a speech. The entire data are collected together in a long vector and then tested as a one input pattern. The proposed fast time delay neural networks (FTDNNs) use cross correlation in the frequency domain between the tested data and the input weights of neural networks. It is proved mathematically and practically that the number of computation steps required for the presented time delay neural networks is less than that needed by conventional time delay neural networks (CTDNNs). Simulation results using MATLAB confirm the theoretical computations.

Abstract: The axial displacement fault has very little indication before taking place and the fracture of oil film between thrust disk and tilt pads mainly contributes to this breakdown. Usually this fracture was caused by the contamination of oil or decrease of oil supply pressure which result in losing load bearing capacity of oil film. Also the increase of axial force caused by fluctuation of operation condition can result in the oil film fracture. Both of the above reasons can lead to tilt pads abrasion and emergency shutdown of machine. The method presented in this paper monitors the stiffness of oil film and identifies the reason of axial displacement increasing. By introducing the mechanism of axial displacement fault self-recovering and taking the axial displacement as the control objectives, the axial forces on rotor was controlled on-line and the minimum oil film thickness was ensured in real time. The experiment indicated that the mechanism can realize the axial f!
ault self-recovery effectively, and with this system, the centrifugal compressor doesn¡¯t need to be shut down immediately when the axial displacement fault happens.

Abstract: The creation of knowledge from information can be promoted by proper representations of information which make the inherent logical structure of the information transparent. Since concepts are the basic units of human thought and hence the basic structures of logic, the logical structure of information is based on concepts and concept systems. Methods from the theory of formal concept analysis and frequent set mining are applied for automated extraction of information from students' responses to preliminary tests about their lack of knowledge or misconception of fundamental terms and skills. Personalized recommendations are suggested to each student once possible difficulties in learning a new subject are detected.

Title of the Paper: Supporting VCR Operation in P2P VoD System Using Dynamic Priority

Abstract: Despite the fact that P2P networks have emerged as a powerful and popular paradigm for numerous scalable applications in recent years, this architecture, which provides large-scale VoD services, still allows scope for improvement: 1>How to optimize the network flow by reducing the control overhead. 2>How to support user interactivity efficiently, such as VCR operations and minimize its effect of interrupting other peers playback undesirably. In this paper, we propose a P2P VoD system based on a hierarchical overlay structure called PVDP, which can reduce control overhead by assembling and leaching the reporting and locating messages. This P2P architecture is also designed to support the VCR operation and fault tolerance via defining the segment priority and prefetching the segments. We compare the P2VOD with the PVDP in this paper. The simulation experiments show that compared with the P2VOD, PVDP has lower control overhead and can decrease the effect of the VCR !
operation.

Abstract: Use Case approach has been one of the popular ways to identify classes and objects in the problem domain for Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA). But critical reviews in the recent past have shown some problems and limitations with Use Cases. This paper describes an Event – based process to identify classes and objects in the problem domain for Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA). Unlike Use Case approach, it captures requirements in terms of Events. E-XTRACT is a tool developed in JAVA, for assisting analysts in identifying, extracting and classifying events from requirements. Events extracted are documented in Event Templates. An Event Meta-Model is proposed that gives basis for defining structural contents of an Event Template. Comparison is also drawn between Event Template and conventional Use Case Template. This paper then introduces mapping rules to generate Class Diagram specification from Event Templates. Finally, it illustrates application of the whole process on a!
Case study. Results have shown that Events can generate a richer and more detailed static model (i.e. a class diagram) from the requirement specifications.

Abstract: In modern society is found that the ultimate goal of any economic production or services is to obtain profits so made products or services are only intermediate steps in the process of obtaining a profit. This work exemplifies a model of complex analysis with applications in cryogenic equipment able to extend the technical analysis in exergoeconomic terms for scientific development. In work are studied two configurations of cryogenic cycles to determine the optimal solution of the associated cryogenic cooling for distillation column of the Pilot Plant for Tritium and Deuterium separation.

Abstract: The generalized methodology for the electronic networks optimization was elaborated by means of the optimal control theory approach. In this case the problem of the electronic system design is formulated as a classical problem of functional minimization of the optimal control theory. The minimal time system design algorithm was defined as a controllable dynamic process with an optimal control vector. By this methodology the aim of the system design process with minimal computer time is presented as a transition process of some dynamic system that has the minimal transition time. The optimal position of the control vector switch points was determined as a principal characteristic of the minimal-time system design algorithm. The special function that is a combination of Lyapunov function of the design process and its time derivative was proposed to predict the optimal control vector to construct an optimal system design algorithm.

Abstract: The well known fuzzy measures, lambda-measure and P-measure, have only one formulaic solution. Two multivalent fuzzy measures with infinitely many solutions were proposed by our previous works, called L-measure and delta-measure, but the former do not include the additive measure as the latter and the latter has not so many measure solutions as the former. Due to the above drawbacks, in this paper, an improved fuzzy measure composed of above both, denoted LD-measure, is proposed. For evaluating the Choquet integral regression models with our proposed fuzzy measure and other different ones, a real data experiment by using a 5-fold cross-validation mean square error (MSE) is conducted. The performances of Choquet integral regression models with fuzzy measure based L-delta-measure, L-measure, delta-measure, lambda-measure, and P-measure, respectively, a ridge regression model, and a multiple linear regression model are compared. Experimental result shows that the Choq!
uet integral regression models with respect to extensional L-measure based on Gamma-support outperforms others forecasting models.

Abstract: This study proposes a new islanding detection method for use of grid-interconnected distributed generators (DG). The method is based on two indices: the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) and the rate of change of voltage (ROCOV). When a DG is grid-interconnected, the ROCOF and ROCOV are lower than the threshold value. In contrast, as an islanding occurs, the ROCOF or ROCOV become much higher than the threshold values. Detection systems monitor terminal voltage at the grid-interconnected point to calculate ROCOF and ROCOV, and issue an operating signal when the value and duration of ROCOF or ROCOV exceed a given threshold. In this study, experiments are conducted to illustrate the principles of the proposed technique for both synchronous generators and induction generators. The test results show that the newly proposed method is reliable, economical, and easy to implement for islanding detection of distributed generators.

Abstract: Abstract: A relative delay measurement system for digital wideband array radar using linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform is put forward along with a deep investigation of its basic aspects. Based on stretch processing technique and applying digital decimation method, the proposed measurement system can work at low processing rates, thus effectively reducing the computation and lowering hardware complexity. Moreover, by means of reasonable parameter setting and unique design construction, relative delay values among multiple digital transmit/receive (T/R) modules can be measured at one single measurement process. Their measurement accuracy is deduced in a theoretical way, while some significant factors are evaluated thereafter. It is shown that measurement error, resulting from the module thermal noise and the interaction of multiple co-existing LFM pulses respectively, consists of noise error and systematic error. Based on these analysis results, parameters !
of the measurement system can be optimized and its performances are predicted. Specific conclusions are testified by simulations.

Abstract: Determining the real behavior of the windshield wiper mechanisms is a priority in the design stage since the emergence of the computer graphic simulation. The paper attempts to analyze and simulate the windshield wiper systems by using a complex virtual prototyping platform, which integrates specific software solutions for realizing the 3D solid model (CATIA), modeling the MBS mechanical model (ADAMS), and controlling the mechanism (MATLAB). For applying the design strategy, we considered a tandem pattern double-lever system, which is approached in the concurrent engineering concept, by integrating the control system in the mechanical model at the virtual prototype level. To drive the mechanism, a DC motor is used, the objective being to control the angular velocity of the rotor, which is the input parameter in the mechanical model; the output, which is transmitted to the controller, is the motor torque. Driving the system by using the motor torque is more realisti!
c than attaching a motion generator and driving the motion directly.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: - Nowadays, high demand for light weight durable structure in many industries like automobile, mechanical, aeronautical ,structural ,.etc. Hence structural optimisation has considerable attention to satisfy industrial goal. In early days, structural optimization was restricted to size optimization. The efficiency of size optimization is less compared to shape & topology. In this research we concentrate on shape optimization for typical practical problems under stress & Area based constraints. Shape optimisation involves finding the best profile for a structure under various constraints imposed by the requirements of the design. The objective may be to minimize weight or maximize mechanical performance like stress minimization, high stiffness, fracture strength ,.etc. In any optimisation problems locating globally optimal structure is a difficult, requiring sophisticated optimization procedure. But using global optimization algorithms like Genetic & Simulated Annea!
ling algorithm we can easily locate global objective functions. The algorithm was developed in ANSYS Parametric Design Language

Abstract: This paper presents a sliding fuzzy control (SFC) to adapt the exponent of robust algorithm to a signal with a variable frequency in a power system. With the aid of SFC, the robust algorithm can more improve the performance of extended complex Kalman filter (ECKF) at the severe variation of frequency. The proposed method is involved in ECKF¡¦s algorithm without changing any form; besides, it can enhance the estimation accuracy and reduce the computation time. Results of comparative studies of the technique proposed with the ECKF with robust algorithm (RECKF) and RECKF-SFC are presented in the paper.

Abstract: The attempts for solving linear inseparable problems have led to different variations on the number of layers of neurons and activation functions used. The backpropagation algorithm is the most known and used supervised learning algorithm. Also called the generalized delta algorithm because it expands the training way of the adaline network, it is based on minimizing the difference between the desired output and the actual output, through the downward gradient method (the gradient tells us how a function varies in different directions). Training a multilayer perceptron is often quite slow, requiring thousands or tens of thousands of epochs for complex problems. The best known methods to accelerate learning are: the momentum method and applying a variable learning rate. The paper presents the possibility to control the induction driving using neural systems.

Abstract: We are interested in a null controllability problem for a class of strongly degenerate heat equations. Heat equation parameters are represented graphically (temperature, heat flux) for a particular situation. Then, first for all T>0, we prove a regional null controllability result at time T at least in the region where the equation is not degenerate. The proof is based on an adequate observability inequality for the homogeneous adjoint problem. This inequality is obtained by application of Carleman estimates combined with the introduction of cut-off functions. Then we improve this result: for all T`>T, we obtain a result of persistent regional null controllability during the time interval [T,T]. We give similar results for the (non degenerate) heat equation in unbounded domain. Analysis by numerical simulation of the heating room space has highlighted that the use of composite materials instead of the usual materials of construction is more advantageous in terms o!
f achieving the microclimate conditions, making possible, within certain limits of temperature exterior, a passive air conditioning, which involves reducing energy consumption.

Abstract: The geophysical techniques; the electromagnetic radiation and vertical electronic sounding were used in this study for achieving our goals. The major objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate the active faults, fractured zones and the subsurface sinkholes along the Eastern shores of the Dead Sea. The faults and the fractures consider weakness zones of the submarine groundwater discharge. Then by determining the subsurface structures, features control the submarine groundwater discharge into the Dead Sea. The first EMR profile was started at coordinates 31¢X 410 28.1800 N and 35¢X 340 38.8700 E at the South Sweimah area at the northern part of the Dead Sea. Many fractured zones were found along this profile. A main highly fractured zone was observed at a distance between 790 and 1500 m to the north of the starting point. Another one was observed between 880 and 1000 m to the north of the starting point. A few sinkholes were observed between distances!
of about 890 m and 1265 m to the north of the starting point. The main sinkhole was recognized at a distance of 2718 to 2730 m to the north of the starting point. The second EMR profile was carried out at the coordinate of 31¢X 4362.700 N and 35¢X 35 33.400 E. The geological features were found at distances of 2455 to 2460 m from the starting point and many of the active fault and joints were found along this profile at distances intervals of about 310-315 m, 660-665 m and at 695-700 m from the starting point. The main interesting areas were found at the distance of 2440-2450, 2635-2643 m from the starting point. The main fractured zones were found between 2490 and 2505 m and from 2330 to the end of the profile at coordinates 31„a 45„S 45.07„S„S N and 35„a 34„S 33.48„S„S E. The vertical electrical sounding profile shows that The first shallow zone is located at offset between 0 and 40 m the second zone located at offset between 320 and 390 m and 12 m deep from the surface!

Abstract: An efficient multiple user access over the wireless channel necessitates a communication system design that can overcome the adverse impact of multipath propagation such as Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) and Multiple Access Interference (MAI). This being the objective, a Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) communication system is considered in this paper. MC-CDMA, being a combination of DS-CDMA and OFDM converts a frequency selective fading channel into multiple flat fading channels thereby mitigating ISI. To overcome the effect of MAI, Multi User Detection (MUD) based receiver is addressed. The performances of Blind successive Interference Cancellation (BIC) techniques are compared with Matched filter receiver and BMMSE receiver by simulating the entire system. The BIC is a multi-user detection technique that uses knowledge of only the desired user's signature sequence and his timing to estimate his information. This is done by executing interfe!
rence cancellation in a successive manner, starting from the most dominant component and successively canceling the weaker ones. Simulation results show that BIC scheme outperforms conventional MF receiver and BMMSE receiver.

Abstract: It is well known that the prediction of comfort in buildings is performed either by direct measurement of each microclimate parametre, or by some comfort indices which synthesize the combined influence of more environmental factors implied. This paper approaches the numerical prediction of thermal comfort in closed spaces on the basis of PMV – PPD model, and its testing to asymmetric or nonuniform thermal radiation, as well as the indoor air quality control. It is developed a computation and testing model of thermal comfort in buildings, as well as a methodology to determine the outside airflow rate and to verify the indoor air quality in rooms, according to the European Standard CEN 1752. Also, it is presented the thermal comfort criteria for design of heating systems. On the bases of these mathematical models there were elaborated the COMFORT 1.0 and COMFORT 2.0 computer programs, implemented on compatible microsystems IBM-PC. The COMFORT 1.0 computer program all!
ows both for the direct computation of the PMV (predicted mean vote) and PPD (predicted percent dissatisfied) indices in different points of a room, and their comparative analysis, and the determination of the mean radiant temperature in isolated points or in a series of points situated on a straight line. The COMFORT 2.0 program computes the outside airflow rate for a room ventilation, the number of air exchanges per hour, and the variation in time of contaminants concentration of room air according to European and national norms and analyses influence of different parametres on these sizes. The performance of the developed computational models and the advantages of the proposed computer programs is illustrated by using some numerical comparative applications for two constructive types building.

Abstract: Free/Open Source software (F/OSS) is a novel way of developing and deploying software systems on a global basis. Collaborative efforts of developers and users towards identifying and correcting defects as well as requesting and enhancing features form the major foundation of this innovative model. These characteristics give a large boost to software development resulting in more effective software production, with true field testing and fast defect resolution. The claims of F/OSS proponents lack empirical evidences. So the present paper delves into a multi-case study of F/OSS projects to carry out qualitative evaluation of defect resolution. The relevant defect data has been retrieved from a research collaboratory and used to analyze the defect resolution over the years. It has been found that although all the selected projects are using defect management system but the level of consistency and efficiency in defects resolution is quite varying. Inefficiency and inc!
onsistency in defect resolution leads to increasing defect resolution age and growing number of pending defects.

Abstract: A rain gauge network (28 rain gauges) was installed in western Puerto Rico (PR) within a 4km x 4km GOES satellite pixel. Located within the pixel is a well monitored sub-watershed of 3.55 km2, referred to here as the "testbed subwatershed" (TBSW). The rain gauge network was established to evaluate rainfall estimates from the GOES-based Hydro-Estimator (HE), NEXRAD radar and the Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) radar network, which has a high spatial resolution (≈ 200 m). Furthermore, the rain gauge network will provide a high temporal and spatial resolution rainfall dataset to be input into a distributed hydrologic model in the TBSW. The focus of this work is to evaluate the performance of the Multisensor Precipitation Estimation (MPE) product at 1-hour and 1-day temporal resolution within the 4km x 4km HE pixel for 2007. The MPE product is popular within the hydrologic modeling community due to its resolution and mean field !
bias correction computations in its coverage. Results for 2007 indicate that the highest rainfall measured by the rain gauges within the HE pixel area were September with an average and standard deviation of 241.75 mm and 73.3 mm, respectively; and August with 223.7 mm and 64.66 mm, respectively. While for the same months the MPE, produced a total monthly rainfall accumulation and standard deviation of 247.36 mm and 64.4 mm for September, respectively, and 233.68 mm and 36.54 mm for August, respectively. The mean and standard deviation daily field bias for these months were 1.08 and 1.5 for September, respectively, and 0.93 and 1.6 for August, respectively.

Abstract: Taking the knowledge dimension of Bloom¡¦s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Revised Version) as the mainstream of analysis, and adopting descriptive statistics, the paper investigates from Taiwan¡¦s Grade 1~9 Nature and Technology area the items and contents of technology-related competence standards, reviews the document of ¡§Standards for Technological Literacy (STL): Content for the Study of Technology¡¨ completed by Technology for All Americans (TfAA) Project in 2000 (ITEA, 2000), and then makes an overall evaluation and analysis of the 4 general types and 11 minor types in knowledge dimension. As found in the research results, among the 7 major technology-related standard categories of Taiwan¡¦s elementary schools, ¡§metacognitive knowledge¡¨ occupies the highest proportion (40%). As to the 20 major standard categories of STL for the technology education of the American elementary schools, ¡§conceptual knowledge¡¨ occupies the highest proportion (36.6%). !
In Taiwan, the curriculum standards of technology education are included in the level-based competence standards for the learning area of Grade 1~9 Nature and Technology; but in the United States, the STL of the American elementary schools proposed in TfAA Project are independently presented. At the stage of elementary education, there are 109 items of STL in the United States, but only 70 items of technological literacy standards in Taiwan. Besides, ambiguous sentences are found in the technological education standards of Taiwan. Ten of the technological literacy standards can be even categorized in the area of sentiment standard. Finally, the study rearranges the research findings and gives suggestions, which are expected to serve as a basis for the related technology teachers in setting up their instructional goals, devising instructional activities and designing evaluation of their students, and are hoped to be referential for analysis in the later days.

Abstract: Abstract: In the paper is presented one new method for multi-view object representation based on image decomposition with modified Inverse Difference Pyramid. The method offers new approach for efficient description of the multi-view images using one of them as a reference one. The decomposition has a relatively low computational complexity because it is based on orthogonal transforms (Walsh-Hadamard, DCT, etc.). The relations which exist between transform coefficients from the consecutive decomposition layers permit significant reduction of the coefficients needed for the high-quality object representation.

Abstract: An effective domain ontology automatically constructed is proposed in this paper. The main concept is using the Formal Concept Analysis to automatically establish a domain ontology. Finally, the ontology is acted as the base for the Naïve Bayes classifier to approve the effectiveness of the domain ontology for document classification. The 1752 documents divided into 10 categories are used to assess the effectiveness of the ontology, where 1252 and 500 documents are the training documents and testing documents respectively. In addition, the 10-fold cross validation is also applied to evaluate the performance of Naïve Bayes classifier. The F1-measure is as the assessment criteria. The experimental results show that the average F1-measure for 10 categories by Naïve Bayes classifier is 0.86. In the other hand, the average F1-measure is 0.88 by applying the 10-fold cross validation. Thus, the domain ontology automatically constructed could indeed act as the document ca!
tegories to reach the effectiveness for document classification.

Abstract: Computer programming is considered a fundamental subject in most of engineering and computer related programs in many universities. Usually, the teaching responsibility is given to a single department, which will serve the entire university. The limitation on staffing most of the time, results in the creation of big-sized classes. This in turn, will produce voluminous workload to the teaching staff, hence, rendering close monitoring of students’ performance next to impossible. Relief might be possible by venturing into the realm of a Computer-Assisted Assessment (CAA). This paper describes our experience in designing and implementing a CAA System that is based on distributed and agent-oriented architectures. The system design caters for two primary objectives; to harness the power of distributed computing and to enable the integration of CAA into existing E-Learning System. We have analyzed and extracted important functionalities required for the system and descr!
ibe agent’s roles for each of the functionalities. We also describe the communication and accessibility aspect of the agents. We have developed an independent assessment module and performed some tests in a computer laboratory environment. We present in the last section of the paper, our findings regarding the feasibility, scalability and accuracy of the assessment module’s as well as its limitations.

Abstract: This paper presents an improved control strategy for parallel inverters so as to better manage power sharing among the distributed generation units in a microgrid. The proposed control strategy combines both power and voltage control schemes implemented on the voltage source inverters which are used as power electronics interface systems for conversion of power generated by fuel cell and photovoltaic generation units. Dynamic models of the fuel cell and photovoltaic systems available in the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software are used as distributed generation units present in the microgrid. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed control strategy, the microgrid is operated in grid connected, islanding and transition modes of operation.

Abstract: Most automakers find that integrating with their suppliers in an e-procurement environment able to help them streamlining information across diverse suppliers base. However, many barriers to the integration of e-procurement could hold back suppliers' from realizing the integration with automakers (buyers). This study deals with e-procurement integration (EI) barriers within the Malaysian automobile industry, focusing on parts and components suppliers as the target respondents. A number of barriers, grouped as buyers, cultural, financial, IT and security barriers have been identified to influence suppliers' decision to participate in EI network. However, only buyers' barriers was identified as the major impediments to EI within the industry. This study also illustrates the effects of suppliers' EI strategy and firm size on suppliers' decisions in EI involvement. Overall, the suppliers who take on a passive approach to EI and large firm suppliers view buyers' barrie!
r as significant.

Abstract: Abstract¡X This research aims at understanding to explore the relations among high school teacher¡¦s KM style, classroom climate, and student¡¦s learning attitude. The purpose of this study attempts to understand the actual situation of high school teacher¡¦s KM style, classroom climate, learning attitude, and on the other hand, explore their differences of student¡¦s background variables. Secondly, the researcher explores the relations among KM style, classroom climate, and learning attitude. The conclusion can be: teacher¡¦s KM style from the high school students¡¦ perception is that the knowledge application is mostly used, then knowledge sharing, and the last, knowledge creation. The classroom climate from the high school students¡¦ perception is generally positive. The students¡¦ learning attitude is active, but should be improved. The junior and young high school teachers with less student number will have better KM style. The female, junior, and young teach!
ers whose teaching service is less than 5 years tend to have better KM style. It is found that the effects of female teachers who work downtown with less class numbers tend to have active learning attitude. The high school teacher¡¦s KM style and learning attitude are closely related. The students¡¦ positive classroom climate will benefit the learning attitude, and the learning attitude will convey positive impact on the teacher¡¦s knowledge management. Teacher¡¦s KM style and classroom climate will have good predict ability to learning attitude.

Abstract: The last wave of EU enlargement ended on 1st January 2007 with the accession of Romania and Bulgaria. Many countries of the South-Eastern Europe aspire to join the EU. Croatia appears to be the next prospective member, so the aim of this paper was to classify Croatia and EU 27 Member States according to the structural economic indicators. These countries were gathered into homogenous groups in terms of the following structural economic indicators: GDP per capita, total employment rate, comparative price levels, employment rate of older workers, long term unemployment and productivity of national economies expressed in relation to the European Union (EU-27) average. Firstly, the cluster analysis was used on three structural economic indicators: GDP per capita, total employment rate and comparative price levels. The hierarchical cluster analysis and non-hierarchical cluster analysis were applied and gave similar results. The factor analysis was then provided to find !
out the common factors of six structural economic indicators: GDP per capita, total employment rate, comparative price levels, employment rate of older workers, long term unemployment and productivity of national economies. Two factors were extracted and the factor scores for each observation were calculated. The factor scores were used in further cluster analysis and again similar results of classification was given.

Abstract: Video segmentation can be considered as a clustering process that classifies one video succession into several objects. Spatial information enhances the quality of clustering which is not utilized in the conventional FCM. Normally fuzzy c-mean (FCM) algorithm is not used for color video segmentation and it is not robust against noise. In this paper, we presented a modified version of fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm that incorporates spatial information into the membership function for clustering of color videos. We used HSV model for decomposition of color video and then FCM is applied separately on each component of HSV model. For optimal clustering, grayscale image is used. Additionally, spatial information is incorporated in each model separately. The spatial function is the summation of the membership function in the neighborhood of each pixel under consideration. The advantages of this new method are: (a) it yields regions more homogeneous than those of other me!
thods for color videos; (b) it reduces the spurious blobs; and (c) it removes noisy spots. It is less sensitive to noise as compared with other techniques. This technique is a powerful method for noisy color video segmentation and works for both single and multiple-feature data with spatial information.

Abstract: This paper proposes a freight management system that ensures the correctness of container handling during shipping. The system determines the correctness by comparing container handling, which is sensed by IC tags, with formal models (formulae) written in the ambient calculus. The ambient calculus is a formal description language that is suitable for expressing freight systems with nested structures that dynamically change. The management system generates formulae automatically from several documents used in real freight systems. An implementation of the system and the results of a simple experiment using it are presented.

Abstract: A procedure for the ship dynamic positioning postoptimal analysis in Intelligent Sea Transportation System Optimization is proposed. The dynamic positioning control system design is based on the optimal constrained covariance control (OC3). In that way some disadvantages of the classical optimal control technique are avoided. When the sensitivity of solutions to desired system performances is performed, then it can be shown that under particular circumstances, a slight change of desired system performances could significantly improve the optimal solution value. Namely, a slight relaxation of desired system position accuracy could result with significant energy savings. The presented numerical example illustrates some benefits of the proposed approach.

Abstract: The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and its inverse (IFFT) are very important algorithms in signal processing, software-defined radio, and the most promising modulation technique; Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This paper explains the implementation of radix-22 single-path delay feedback pipelined FFT/IFFT processor. This attractive architecture has the same multiplicative complexity as radix-4 algorithm, but retains the simple butterfly structure of radix-2 algorithm. The implementation was made on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) because it can achieve higher computing speed than digital signal processors, and also can achieve cost effectively ASIC-like performance with lower development time, and risks. The processor has been developed using hardware description language VHDL on an Xilinx xc5vsx35t and simulated up to 465MHz and exhibited execution time of 0.135μS for transformation length 256-point. This results show that the process!
or achieves higher throughput and lower area and latency.

Abstract: This communication is based on a seven years experience of teaching day lighting to graduate architects coming from very different latitudes and climates. We first created didactic software to help them controlling sun paths. Later, we developed it gradually to support the common part of the problem: the geometrical one. With the same knowledge and tool, the students imagined very different projects, which reflected their different sensitivities and ideas about light, especially in its chromatic aspect. Their works confirmed us the evidence that the justified preoccupation about ecology and sustainability must not obviate the fact that good architecture is, first of all, an art. The software, "Heliodon", developed by Benoit Beckers and Luc Masset, offers synthetic and original representations that allow the architect to develop its design freely, but controlling simultaneously space and time aspects. It complements commercial rendering software and is a fundamental!
component of a personal theory about light ambiances and color. The results are very original projects that blend aesthetic expression, geometrical control and environmental conscience. With this teaching, every architect is expected to discover his personal daylight. In the near future, the contributions of architects and urban designers will also be fundamental in order to extend the studies of solar radiation to large urban areas. The collaboration between geographers, climatologists and physicists will be crucial in order to define the appropriate numerical mockups at different scales.

Abstract: In real-valued negative selection algorithm, the variability of self sample would result in the holes on the boundary and deceiving anomalies hidden in the self region. This paper proposes a method of evolving boundary detectors to solve these problems. This new method uses evolutionary search to generate an aggressive detectors which are allowed to cover a part of self region. The aggressiveness controlled by boundary threshold can convert some volume of self sample into the fitness of boundary detector, which makes them enable to eliminate the holes on the boundary and have an opportunity to detect the deceiving anomalies hidden in the self region. Experiments are carried out using 2-dimensional dataset and real world dataset. The former was designed to demonstrate intuitively that boundary detectors can cover the holes on the boundary, while the latter was to show boundary detectors can detect the deceiving anomalies.

Abstract: Abstract: In recent years, there is a need to expand the performance of studying in order to build national power and improve the well-being for our country¡¦s people. At the 7th national scientific meeting, leaders drafted 6 tactics to guide the first stage of the national scientific development plan of Cheng (the 94-97th year of R.O.C.) for promoting the development of science and technology until 2008. The plan is to use the pool of operating dollars to fund improvement activities. As a result, the theme of Scientific and Technological Education International became the main theme for research in 2005-2008. The purpose of the research is to: 1. Design a course with an emphasis on the transnational digit platform (d-learning) as a way to produce research and study internationally cooperatively and to promote the international exchange and study of science and technology education to a great extent. 2. Provide a clearing house for an international collection of!
science and technology teaching materials, teaching methods, teaching policies, and a means for distributing the information to small and medium school districts in Taiwan. 3. Provide an impetus to cooperatively study teaching and exchange the findings with the world. Aviation technology education is the focus of the transnational d-learning course.

Abstract: This paper focuses on minimizing makespan of identical-machines scheduling problems with mold constraints. In this kind of problems, jobs are non-preemptive with mold constraints and several identical machines are available. Feasible solutions are randomly generated and evolved by the proposed approach and an adjustment operator is designed to fill up the empty time slot due to the mold constraint. The proposed approach can also be easily extended to solve the same problem but with the fitness function of the total complete time.

Abstract: The potential environmental suitability and economic viability of growing two biodiesel crops in marginal regions of Australia were explored. Firstly, we used spatial analysis techniques to identify marginal regions suitable for growing pongam (Pongamia pinnata) and Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), and determined the base socio-economic viability of investments for the production of biodiesel in the identified areas. Secondly, we used climate change projections (target years 2030 and 2070) from the CSIRO Mk3.0 Global Circulation Model (GCM) generated for two emission scenarios (A1B and A1FI) to determine the shift in potential areas for these crops. Under the climate change scenarios tested, the total area of suitability of growing pongam is not substantially different from the suitable area under current climate, indicating that long term investments in this perennial tree crop could be viable. There is greater variation in suitability projections for Indian must!
ard, although there is more flexibility for cropping options given that this it is an annual crop. However, future economic viability is likely to depend on the ability to receive renewable energy certificates (RECs) for both crops, and certified emission reductions (CERs) for pongam only. Opportunities for pongam agroforestry to supply biodiesel to regional towns, cattle stations and mines in northern Australia are likely.

Abstract: Medical images display incredibly complex anatomical or functional scenes which have a meaning only for specialists. It is an interesting question how radiologists analyze medical images. Of course the radiologists are trained to extract pathological pixel grey-level compared to normal tissues grey level. In many medical image segmentation applications identifying and extracting the region of interest (ROI) accurately is an important step. The usual approach to extract ROI is to apply image segmentation methods. In this paper we focus on extracting ROI by segmentation based on visual attended locations. Chan-Vese active contour model is used for image segmentation and attended locations are determined by SaliencyToolbox. For the telemedicine application we have integrated image segmentation with adaptive compression technique. When the set of regions of interest is selected, these regions need to be represented with the highest quality while the remaining parts of !
the processed image could be represented with a lower quality. In result, higher compression is obtained.

Abstract: In this paper we present a new method for analyzing some properties of the Mandelbrot Set. The algorithm used for our visual analysis is closely connected to Pickover Stalks and Buddhabrot method. Pickover Stalks method created biomorphs, diverse and complicated forms greatly resembling invertebrate organisms. Our method extends these previously developed methods that introduce the concept of preserving information about calculation steps when calculating the Mandelbrot Set. We create images that visualize statistical information for the calculation-paths of points tested for belonging to the Mandelbrot Set. Two variations of this method are presented: one that only takes into account the paths taken and one that also uses information about their lengths. We have developed software that enables us to analyze new properties of the Mandelbrot Set that can be seen when these new display methods are used. In this paper we also present in detail important features of ou!
r software.

Abstract: A technique is presented in which satellite solar insolation estimates are used to predict daily reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using the Penman-Monteith (PM), Preistly-Taylor (PT) and Hargreaves-Samini (HS) methods for Puerto Rico. For this approach, average, minimum and maximum daily air temperatures were obtained from a regression procedure that depends on surface elevation and day of the year. The air temperature was adjusted using actual daily temperatures from several locations in Puerto Rico. Dew point temperature was assumed to be equal to the daily minimum temperature, and a value of 1.9 m/s was assumed for wind speed. As an example, ETo was estimated for March 5, 2009 using the three methods, with the Penman-Monteith method producing the lowest values. This paper also presents a comparison between estimated and observed solar radiation from April 1 through June 21, 2009, which indicates a need for calibration of the solar radiation remote sensi!
ng product. As a practical example application of the use of the methodology, the Hargraeves-Samani ETo was estimated for a crop season. The crop evapotranspiration (ET) was estimated by multiplying the ETo by a crop coefficient (Kc). The goal of the analysis, which considered five different crops and seven locations, was to determine the cumulative seasonal water consumptive use. Determination of the seasonal water consumptive use is valuable for determining water supply infrastructure for farms and irrigation districts. This research represents a preliminary step in the development of an ETo product for PR. This product is a potentially valuable tool for conducting water resource studies and for supporting irrigation scheduling efforts.

Abstract: Describing the architecture of complex software systems need a comprehensive models and complete tools. The description of software systems can be achieved by using an architecture description language (ADL) or an object oriented modeling language. In this article, we show how we can build a hybrid model to describe the architecture of software systems. This model is based on the two approaches. First we define a metamodel for software architecture, next based on this metamodel we implement an environment for describing the architecture of software systems.

Abstract: Many practical applications including speech and audio processing, signal processing, system identification, econometrics and time series analysis involve the problem of reconstructing a dynamic system model from data observed with noise in all variables. We consider an important class of dynamic single-input single-output nonlinear systems where the system model is polynomial in observations but linear in parameters, which captures a wide range of such systems. Assuming white Gaussian measurement noise that is characterized by a magnitude and a covariance structure, we propose a nonlinear extension to the generalized Koopmans-Levin method that can estimate parameters of dynamic nonlinear systems with polynomial nonlinearities given a priori knowledge on the noise covariance structure. In order to estimate noise structure, we apply a covariance matching objective function. Combining the extended Koopmans-Levin and the covariance matching approaches, an identificati!
on algorithm to estimate both model and noise parameters is proposed. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Abstract: This paper presents the modeling of an optical diaphragm behavior for human pulse pressure detection. In this study, the comparison between the performance of the polyimide and silicon nitride diaphragm has been presented. The effects of diaphragm radius and diaphragm thickness on static and frequency response are also investigated. The findings show that the polyimide diaphragm is more sensitive than the silicon nitride diaphragm. In addition, deflection of both diaphragms has linear relationship with the applied pressure The diaphragm radius has more effect on the deflection, sensitivity and resonance frequency as compared to the diaphragm thickness. It can be concluded that the polyimide diaphragm achieves the optimum performance in terms of the deflection, sensitivity, and resonance frequency for human pulse pressure detection. Thus, the polyimide diaphragm has been chosen as the best model in designing an optical micro-diaphragm.

In the power system, STATCOM stabilizer plays an important role, which will affect the damping and synchronizing torque components. Furthermore, the damping and synchronizing torque have great impact on the stability of the power system. Based on above, a new concept namely torque-area is introduced. Through the torque-area method, the design and optimization of STATCOM stabilezer are performed easily. The optimized STATCOM stabilizer can maintain enough sycshronizing torque as well as damping torque, and consequently the problem of synchronizing torque deteriorated due to the stabilizer is solved. At the end of this paper, a simulation case is provided, and the results demonstrate that the method works effectively.

Abstract: Abstract: - In this paper, a millimeter-wave point-to-point (PTP) Wireless Gigabit Ethernet Communication System is presented and the first been developed by TMR&D. A 60 GHz Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics (LTCC) System-On-Package (SoP) Transceiver capable of gigabit data rate has been built and demonstrated with a size of 17.76 x 17.89 mm2. A direct Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) modulation and demodulation scheme is adopted for the 60GHz-band transceiver. A BER of 1×10-12 for data rate of 1.25 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) on 2.2 GHz bandwidth at 1.4 km was demonstrated. This paper reports a new PTP link that has been installed at TMR&D site to demonstrate wireless gigabit operation and performance of its key components. The link will operate at the 57.65-63.35 GHz band incorporating TMR&D's designed millimeter-wave LTCC SoP RF Transceiver module. This LTCC SoP RF Transceiver is suitable for short-range wireless networking systems, security camera TV, video conferenc!
ing, streaming video like HDTV (high definition television) and wireless downloading systems for small power application. Outdoor wireless link test shows that the transmission range of PTP system using the SoP Transceiver is 1.4 km.

Abstract: Prototyping of wireless radio is one of the major stages of the entire development process. It invariably has an interface to the Analog to digital converters (ADC) / Digital to Analog converters (DAC) and RF front end. This paper discusses in detail the design issues and solutions for baseband- RF front end interface, of a wireless radio. In these kinds of systems, the FPGA tends to be connected to the baseband DSP processor through the system bus. The FPGA is then used to implement additional baseband processing, hardware accelerators, ADC/DAC interfaces and RF control, to name a few. The DSP processor will need to communicate with these components through the system bus. Some of these components require high bandwidth and others requires low bandwidth from the system bus. There is a need for a design approach where that avoids slow interfaces, such as RF control interface, from hogging the system bus, which in turn will affect the overall performance of the ent!
ire system. This paper presents a System Bus-SPI bridge design approach to mitigate the interfacing issues in wireless system prototyping, especially when the supporting hardware, like RF module, is predefined. The proposed design enables the DSP Processor to access the System Bus concurrently while the SPI programming is in progress. Verilog hardware description language is used to design the System bus –SPI Bridge and Modelsim is used to verify the functionality of the design. The proposed design was implemented on an Altera STRATIX II FPGA.

Abstract: UPFC is one of the FACTS devices that it is used for power flow control and voltage stabilizing. UPFC has four control loops that with adding an extra signal to one of the control loops dynamic stability is increased and load angle oscillations are damped. It is usually used from speed duration of synchronous generator as input signal for designing damping controllers. In this paper, it has been used from state-space equations for designing damping controller and it has been considered influences of active and reactive power flow durations as input of damping controller. For stability increasing, in addition to Lead-Lag and LQR controllers adaptive controller has been used that it is able to identify power system parameters. The simulation results obviously show appropriate application of adaptive controller for decreasing rotor speed oscillations against perturbations such as input mechanical torque.

Abstract: In recent years, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) has demonstrated excellent performance in a variety of pattern recognition problems. In this paper, we proposed modified KNN for the Chinese minority scripts classification, using wavelet energy distribution and wavelet energy proportions features generated from the discrete wavelet multi-resolution decomposition. The experimental results show that the method achieves high accuracy in testing dataset that consists of Chinese, English and Chinese minority scripts such as Tibetan, Tai Lue, Naxi Pictographs, Uighur, Tai Le, Yi. The results also show that this method is feasible and reasonable, and the recognition rate is up to 96%.

Abstract: This study discusses the interaction effects of organizational factors and individual factors on safety performance. 465 employees from four colleges in central Taiwan completed a self-administered questionnaire. The researchers used a two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to analyze the data. The researchers found that there are interaction effects on safety performance between 1) size and accident experience; 2) safety committee and gender; 3) safety committee and accident experience; 4) location and accident experience. Because the interaction effects discovered are disordinal, safety managers must take measures to improve safety for different classes of employees in different kinds of organizations. Based on these results, the authors advise safety managers to take note of these interaction effects in order to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of safety improvements.

Abstract: This paper deals with parameter estimation of sinusoids within a Bayesian framework. Bayesian inference about the parameters is a challenging computational problem and requires an evaluation of complicated high-dimensional integrals and a solution of multi dimensional optimization of posterior probability density function, which has many local minimum. In this context, we make an attempt to improve an efficient stochastic procedure, proposed by Gregory, which is based on a parallel tempering Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (MCMC). Its algorithm is coded in Mathematica and then tested for estimating parameters of noisy sinusoids. Computer simulations support its effectiveness and demonstrate its performance, according to Cramér-Rao lower bound for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratios and data lengths.

Abstract: We consider here a problem of simultaneous detecting and estimating of sinusoids corrupted by random noise within a Bayesian framework. Unfortunately, all Bayesian inference drawn from posterior probability distributions of parameters requires evaluation of some complicated high-dimensional integrals. Therefore, an attempt for performing the Bayesian computation is made to improve an efficient stochastic algorithm based on Reversible Jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) methods, which allows to obtain all the features of the a-posteriori distribution. Its algorithm is coded by using Mathematica programming language and evaluated in a number of simulation studies on synthetic data sets. All the simulations results support the effectiveness of the method for detecting and estimating sinusoids embedded in noise.

Abstract: We have simulated the behaviors of nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The generalized nonlinear equations governing these structures are solved by a method which uses a Fourier series procedure and a simple iterative method. All of the nonlinear effects are considered. Bragg soliton generation in intrinsic media and birefringence effects in FBGs are studied. We found that the first order dispersion can causes time shifting in the input pulse peak. It is shown that FBGs are proper for optical switching too. They can use in filters, nonlinear fiber optical applications, soliton propagations etc.

Abstract: An important ingredient of health care is the correct initial diagnosis of chest ailments using images of chest radiograph. This paper develops a simple graphical method to aid the initial screening and discrimination of pneumonia patients (PNEU) from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, lung cancer (LC) patients and normal healthy individuals (NL). Approximate confidence regions using principal component methods on selected texture measures detect and discriminate PNEU from PTB, LC and NL. A brief simulation study indicates that the probability ellipsoid is robust to mild deviation from normality with the presence of two outliers. The main result of this study is that the PNEU-ellipsoid when applied to test data is capable of detecting pneumonia in the sense that 100% of NL, 85% of LC and 65% of PTB will be rejected when using contrast texture measures. Using the combination of twelve features gives similar results. Membership of PNEU-ellipsoid obtained fro!

Abstract: Long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (LW-VCSEL) have profound advantages compared to traditional edge-emitting lasers and its commercialization is gaining momentum as the local and access network in optical communication system expands. In this paper, we present the design parameter variations of multi quantum wells (MQW) in the active region of an InP-based long-wavelength vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (LW-VCSEL) utilizing an air-post design. The MQW and barrier thickness were varied and their effect on the device threshold current, optical power, gain, lattice temperature, peak wavelength and reflectivity were analysed and presented. Quantum well thickness of 5.5 nm and barrier thickness of 8 nm gives the optimum threshold current of 0.579 mA, optical power output of 4.2 mW, modal gain of 27 cm-1, lattice temperature of 310.6 K and peak wavelength of 1.562 ìm.

Abstract: This paper examines the relationships among credit default swaps (CDS), government bailout, and default risk in bank equity returns. In a model where CDS trading is the transaction for controlling credit risk, changes in the bank¡¦s CDS demand or structural changes in the CDS provider, caused by government-bailout affect bank¡¦s default risk. An increase in CDS increases the optimal bank interest margin and decreases default risk in equity return when the CDS provider is healthy. Structural changes in the CDS provider caused by government¡¦s increasing bailout decreases the optimal interest margin and increases default risk. This scenario causes bank concern that CDS issues plaguing the insurer will affect bank margin management.

Abstract: In the field of communication safe and reliable transmission of data is extremely important issue. Emergence of computer networks and internet brings a tremendous change in the field of communication. A computer network forms,when we interconnect two or more computer system over a same link for the sharing of resources. Wired Computer network is highly recommended because they are flexible and multi-adaptive in nature. In wired network various queues has been used out for the safe and reliable transmission of data. Thus, the implementation and proper selection of the queues is one of the most important issues. The selection of the various queues is totally depends upon the need of transmission of data. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of Drop tail, DRR, RED, SFQ, and FQ by varying the number of source. We are representing the detailed performance analysis & comparison of the various queues in terms of parameters like throughput, average delay and packet l!
oss. These queues have been analyzed on various traffic like FTPand CBR, by varying the number of source and the various conclusions have been drawn accordingly.

Abstract: In recent years, the theoretical models of mass consumer behavior have change to buy from websites rather than in stores. Because the high-growing of e-commerce, a new demand emerges: the special-purpose search engine for searching goods from network shop. How to meet the customer¡¦s requirement in product search is an import problem. Although it is easy for human eyes to determine the existence of clothes styles, recognizing it automatically from a computer program is not a trivial problem. Our work focuses on the garment retrieval from the e-shopping database, which supports feature-based retrieval by shape categories and styles. Traditionally the rigid shape-based algorithms unable to apply well on garment images. Because the clothing is essentially a non-rigid soft object: it is apt to self-occlusion, folding, and has deformation among every part (such as sleeve and tube). While producing deformation, it also influenced by light which lead to various kinds of s!
hade at clothes, and the surface might include various kinds of pattern, texture, little piece, and decorate, these will all cause the great interference on image analysis.

Abstract: In the modern electronic era, multiplier is used in various systems ranging from a simple calculator to complex control system and plays an important role in digital and analog systems. The performance of many computational problems is often influenced by the speed at which a multiplication can be executed. That is multiplication is a bottleneck in speed of many computational devices. Therefore it has become a necessity to design fast multipliers. We can increase the multiplication speed by introducing fast adders using the property of parallelism. But the main problem coming across while introducing this is the increase of Silicon area. Hence while designing a multiplier these facts must be kept in mind. Here the coding is done using the hardware description language VHDL. Simulations are done with the help of ModelSim XE II 5.7g and the synthesis is done using Xilinx ISE 6.

Abstract: In the modern electronic era, multiplier is used in various systems ranging from a simple calculator to complex control system and plays an important role in digital and analog systems. The performance of many computational problems is often influenced by the speed at which a multiplication can be executed. That is multiplication is a bottleneck in speed of many computational devices. Therefore it has become a necessity to design fast multipliers. We can increase the multiplication speed by introducing fast adders using the property of parallelism. But the main problem coming across while introducing this is the increase of Silicon area. Hence while designing a multiplier these facts must be kept in mind. Here the coding is done using the hardware description language VHDL. Simulations are done with the help of ModelSim XE II 5.7g and the synthesis is done using Xilinx ISE 6.

Abstract: This study presents an experimental procedure of reverse engineering system for rapid modeling and manufacturing of products with complex freeform surfaces. Its ultimate purpose is to explore a fast, efficient, economical and practical route to reproduction of existing physical objects with digital camera and CNC machine tools for small and medium-sized manufacturers on a P2P-based multimedia collaborative environment. This paper focuses on developing a prototype of photogrammetry based 3D digitization, B-spline surface model reconstruction, and tool path generation based on Open CASCADE kernel. Experiments show that the method is applicable for reverse modeling of freeform objects with moderate accuracy requirements. Therefore, the presented schema is a valid alternative to laser scanning techniques and coded light-based triangulation approaches with an important reduction of the hardware costs and time.

Abstract: Forest soils and the nutrients within it are impacted by spatial activities. The concentration of soil organic carbon (SOC) was evaluated in different forest management location sites in relation to the environmental condition and management status of each forest site. Three distinct forest soils were collected in three locations (0-25 and 25-50cm profiles) of different forest management regimes in Guangdong Province, China. SOC concentrations, as well as physical and chemical soil properties were measured in the laboratory in relation to industrial, urban and protected forest locations. SOC concentration was highest at the Deqing forest site (30.24±1.35 and 26.65± 2.49) as a state regulated management system than in the industrial and urban sites. SOC was significantly highest in the Deqing site (48 g/kg). Duncan's test of SOC density revealed a critical statistical difference between Deqing and the other sites. Soil metal concentrations at the Dongguan industrial!
site showed significant differences in high amount of copper, lead and cadmium (15.1±2.67, 42.30±4.91 and 35.09±5.89). SOM concentration evaluated as sequestration parameter at the Deqing site (47g/kg) was statistically different from the others. Pearson's correlation and multiple comparison analysis on chemical and physical properties indicated critical differences (0.01 level) between the Deqing site (SOC, SOM, TotN, AvK) and the Guangzhou site (SOM, TotN, Avk and AvP) compared to the Dongguan site. The Deqing and Guangzhou forest sites showed attributes of better forest management systems. We strongly recommend an active effluent discharge policy, a Nutrient sensitive zones policy, a land Use policy, a Compulsory industrial implementation best management practices policy; and an Implementation and mitigation option policy.

Abstract: This paper investigates the vehicle rear impact and its consequences and analyzes the research developed in this field. In road traffic, especially in urban traffic, numerous rear collisions have taken place, resulting in serious injuries for passengers. The numerous studies that have been carried out lead to today's internationally recognized demand on the car driver's head restraint adjustment for an optimal protection of the neck spinal column (HWS) with regard to rear end collisions. Mathematical modeling of passenger movement during head impact may be a successful tool in establishing the neck injury mechanism, especially when working in parallel with experimental studies. In order to accomplish experimental studies for data acquisition and video and image samples analysis, the preparation of testing device are needed. Validation mathematical models using experimental tests, offers a vast range of their use. Thus, the simulation on the computer of the phenomen!
a that take place during road events can be studied more comprehensively, and may allow optimize passive safety systems in order to diminish adverse effects of these phenomena.

Abstract: Experiments with the V. A. Medical center, Long Beach, Heart Disease database have concentrated on attempting to distinguish presence and absence of heart disease. The classifiers based on various neural networks, namely, MLP, PCA, Jordan, GFF, Modular, RBF, SOFM, SVM NNs and conventional statistical techniques such as DA and CART are optimally designed, thoroughly examined and performance measures are compared in this study. With chosen optimal parameters of MLP NN, when it is trained and tested over cross validation (unseen data sets), the average (and best respectively) classification of 98.57±2 % (and 100%), 98±2.73% overall accuracy, sensitivity 97.14±3.91, specificity 100% are achieved which shows consistent performance than other NN and statistical models. The results obtained in this work show the potentiality of the MLP NN approach for heart diseases classification.

Abstract: A modular system for processes simulator and control diagram implementation can replace a vast number of expensive systems used to simulate, to design and to test the programming of programmable logical control (PLC) systems graphically and practically. Different processes are simulated and associated with different types of control application and with different complexity factors in order to develop control algorithms and implement them into the PLC unit. The process and control simulator is hardware and software intergraded system for multifunctional educational platforms that enables training and practical work. The system's modularity allows an easy development of the system and can be use in future development by adding FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) components.

Abstract: In this paper, dynamic audit fair queueing (DAFQ) scheme is proposed, which is capable of supporting robust fairness of bandwidth sharing. The main idea of the DAFQ is to detect the malicious flows and then adequate control policies are applied to restrain those ones. Furthermore, a simple and effective probabilistic model is adopted to determine the detection periods which are used to capture the randomly generated malicious flows. Computer simulation compares the fairness of the DAFQ with that of some well-known mechanisms. The simulation results show that the DAFQ is suitable to be deployed in the high-speed core routers due to its simplicity. Besides, the DAFQ is able to support robust fairness of bandwidth sharing more than the other compared mechanisms under various traffic situations.

Abstract: We constructed a new fifth order five-stage singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (DIRK) method which is specially designed for the integrations of linear ordinary differential equations (LODEs). The restriction to linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) reduces the number of conditions which the coefficients of the Runge-Kutta method must satisfy. The best strategy for practical purposes would be to choose the coefficients of the Runge-Kutta methods such that the error norm is minimized. Thus, here the error norm obtained from the error equations of the sixth order method is minimized so that the free parameters chosen are obtained from the minimized error norm. The stability aspect of the method is also looked into and found to have substantial region of stability, thus it is stable. Then a set of test problems are used to validate the method. Numerical results show that the new method is more efficient in terms of accuracy compared to the existing met!

Title of the Paper: The Relationship of Sample Size and Accuracy in Radial Basis Function Networks
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Hyontai Sug
Email addresses of all the authors: hyontai@yahoo.com
Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: Even though radial basis function networks are known to have good prediction accuracy in several domains, it is not known to decide a proper sample size like other data mining algorithms, so the task of deciding proper sample sizes for the networks tends to be arbitrary. As the size of samples grows, the improvement in error rates becomes better slowly. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because we have limited training examples, and there is some fluctuation in accuracy depending on the sample sizes. This paper suggests a progressive resampling technique to cope with the fluction of prediction accuracy values for better radial basis function networks. The suggestion is proved by experiments with promising results.

Abstract: Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a recent remote sensing system which has been gradually expanding as a network among the countries actively concerned about the atmospheric contaminants, earth radiation budget, rain variations, clean air index, etc. In this work, the design of a typical Lidar, ground based system for three wavelengths is explained. Essential parameters for the atmospheric characterizations such as Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Angstrom coefficient (Å), and Aerosol Size Distribution (ASD) are explored and the obtained results are discussed. These parameters have been calculated and plotted based on three Lidar system wavelengths of 355, 532, and 1064 nm using the data obtained from Lidar in the Western part of Puerto Rico (location of UPRM Lidar system). The relationship between the essential parameters presented by the plots and the atmospheric behavior is explained using the collected data during two different days.

Title of the Paper: A fuzzy DEMATEL method for segmenting critical factors of successful KM implementation
Authors as they appear in the Paper: Wei-Wen Wu
Email addresses of all the authors: itmike@thit.edu.tw
Number of paper pages: 18
Abstract: Knowledge is a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. In response to increasingly drastic and competitive environments, many organizations wish to better utilize and manage knowledge for business success. For the purpose to execute formal knowledge management (KM) effectively, some works have suggested several critical factors of KM implementations. However, in a strategic view, such a list of critical factors must be further honed to increase practical usefulness, as not all critical factors necessarily share the same importance. Moreover, assessing the importance of critical factors inevitably involves the vagueness of human judgment. Hence, this paper presents a favorable method combining fuzzy logic with the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to segment the critical factors for successful KM implementations. Also, an empirical study is presented to illustrate the proposed method and to demonstrate its usefulness.

Abstract: Efficiency and accuracy on the production lines enables an improved production and utilization of available resources within industries. Due to time constrain in the production process, the workers have to keep on their toe's to ensure daily goals are met as set by the management. In the race for achieving set goals, human capital is the prime concern, even machineries also considered as a role player in the production lines. Measuring man power utilization is very slanted due to the standards and policy's set by the management. Generally faults and mistakes done on the process line are always overwritten by adulterated production information's to cover up any unwanted consequences. Such factors lead towards the down falls of the management in maximizing their available resources. Management should be skilled on resourcing for available production information's and to accurately interpret these data in order to identify the various faults at production level especi!
ally on workers to immediately rectify in order to improve efficiency. An accurate data management system will ensure these miseries will be highlighted and counter measures are seen to ensure sustainability of these industries for the long term.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the study and design of a simple MOS generator circuit which provides the first derivative of the Gaussian pulse from input rectangular signal. To generate wavelets required in an ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio, the first derivative of the Gaussian function is approximated by combining four hyperbolic tangent (tanh) functions. Afterwards, four differential pairs are used. The output generator circuit is ultra short monocycle pulses of about 244 ps width alternately in phase and in opposition of phase. The generated width pulse can be adjusted by changing the rise and fall time of the input signal. Simulations show that a good approximation of this waveform is possible while using integrated coefficients. A MOS transistor circuit implementation is presented and its simulation results are shown. Comparisons between theoretical and simulation tests are detailed in order to validate the design and the good functioning of the complete structure!
. . Furthermore, the 2.5 V voltages supply, relative to the chosen MOS 0.35µm technologies (AMS foundry), allows the reduction of the system power consumption.

Abstract: Efficiency and accuracy on the production lines enables an improved production and utilization of available resources within industries. Due to time constrain in the production process, the workers have to keep on their toe's to ensure daily goals are met as set by the management. In the race for achieving set goals, human capital is the prime concern, even machineries also considered as a role player in the production lines. Measuring man power utilization is very slanted due to the standards and policy's set by the management. Generally faults and mistakes done on the process line are always overwritten by adulterated production information's to cover up any unwanted consequences. Such factors lead towards the down falls of the management in maximizing their available resources. Management should be skilled on resourcing for available production information's and to accurately interpret these data in order to identify the various faults at production level especi!
ally on workers to immediately rectify in order to improve efficiency. An accurate data management system will ensure these miseries will be highlighted and counter measures are seen to ensure sustainability of these industries for the long term.

Abstract: In this paper, dynamic audit fair queueing (DAFQ) scheme is proposed, which is capable of supporting robust fairness of bandwidth sharing. The main idea of the DAFQ is to detect the malicious flows and then adequate control policies are applied to restrain those ones. Furthermore, a simple and effective probabilistic model is adopted to determine the detection periods which are used to capture the randomly generated malicious flows. Computer simulation compares the fairness of the DAFQ with that of some well-known mechanisms. The simulation results show that the DAFQ is suitable to be deployed in the high-speed core routers due to its simplicity. Besides, the DAFQ is able to support robust fairness of bandwidth sharing more than the other compared mechanisms under various traffic situations.

Number of paper pages: 10
Abstract: The calculation of wideband digital beamforming using traditonal methods is so large that it is hard to realize in project. This paper describes a wideband digital beamforming method on the base of stretch processing for linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms. This method offers advantages that are moderate data rate for wideband signal processing by reducing the signal bandwidth greatly. In addition, the method not only can get high range resolution of wideband array radar, but also can form good shape pattern with null at interference, as the simulation results show. To the most important, this method compared to traditional methods is easier for engineering implementation greatly.

Abstract: A projection algorithm to detect rain cloud pixels in visible and infrared satellite data is introduced in this work. The algorithm is based on the angle formed by two vectors in the n-dimensional space. This algorithm takes advantages of the geometrical projection principle: when two vectors are collinear the radiative variables of clouds used to create the vectors may exhibit similar properties, and when the vectors are orthogonal the radiative variables may have no elements in common. Rain/no rain pixels are identified by using radar rain rate over the studied area. Satellite data from visible and infrared channels are used to create rain and no rain pixel populations. The central tendency of each population is used to generate rain and no rain calibration vectors. A pixel from an independent data set is used to create a third vector, which is projected into the previously calibrated vectors, with the purpose of classifying the third vector in one of the t!
wo populations, rain or no rain. Classification is made depending of the magnitude of the projection angle and the probability distribution of the visible and infrared radiation variables. The proposed algorithm was implemented to detect rain clouds over a tropical area with the special purpose of developing an application to improve the Hydro-Estimator, which is an operational and high-resolution rainfall retrieval algorithm that has been applied over the United States since 2002.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effects of renewable distributed generation on the operational characteristics of meshed power distribution systems. Meshed power distribution systems are more reliable than radial and closed-loop ones; however, their structures and operating conditions are more complex than the latter. Hence, operating these types of systems is not easy for power engineers, especially in the case of combining renewable distributed generation sources. This paper first develops the constant power model of a renewable distributed generation source, then constructs the network model of a medium-voltage meshed distribution system in the professional simulation software, Matlab/Simulink. The effects of renewable distributed generation sources on the operational characteristics of meshed distribution systems are evaluated in detail. The evaluation takes into account the generation capacity, connecting location, and operating power factor of renewable distributed g!
eneration sources. The results shown in this paper can contribute well to electrical utilities with meshed power distribution systems.

Abstract: Forecasting quarterly accounting earnings is an important task in prospective analysis and seasonality is an important phenomenon in those data¡¦s behavior. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of applying grey group model to forecast the earning per share. Unlike traditional statistical model such as Foster Model, grey group model inheres not only easy to calculate but also few observations needed than statistics methods when model building. Furthermore, the model liberates the users from the sample data assumptions from statistics analysis such as identically independent distribution. A data sample with fifty firms trading on Taiwan Stock Exchange is employed here and the forecasting performances are compared with those obtained by Foster Model. The results demonstrate that the grey group model is a competitive and competent one in prospective analysis.
