Abstract The implementation of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) mainly depends on two key technologies: image feature extraction and image feature matching. In this paper, we extract the color features based on Global Color Histogram (GCH) and texture features based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). In order to obtain the effective and representative features of the image, we adopt the fuzzy mathematical algorithm in the process of color feature extraction and texture feature extraction respectively. And we combine the fuzzy color feature vector with the fuzzy texture feature vector to form the comprehensive fuzzy feature vector of the image according to… More >

Abstract The widespread distribution of precision farming systems necessitates improvements in the methods for the control of unmanned harvesting equipment (UHE). While unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide an effective solution to this problem, there are many challenges in the implementation of technology. This paper considers the problem of identifying optimal routes of UHE movement as a multicriteria evaluation problem, which can be solved by a nonlinear scheme of compromises. The proposed method uses machine learning algorithms and statistical processing of the spectral characteristics obtained from UAV digital images. Developed method minimizes the resources needed for a harvesting campaign and reduces the… More >

Abstract Although predecessors have made great contributions to the semantic segmentation of 3D indoor scenes, there still exist some challenges in the debris recognition of terrain data. Compared with hundreds of thousands of indoor point clouds, the amount of terrain point cloud is up to millions. Apart from that, terrain point cloud data obtained from remote sensing is measured in meters, but the indoor scene is measured in centimeters. In this case, the terrain debris obtained from remote sensing mapping only have dozens of points, which means that sufficient training information cannot be obtained only through the convolution of points.

Abstract To detect security vulnerabilities in a web application, the security analyst must choose the best performance Security Analysis Static Tool (SAST) in terms of discovering the greatest number of security vulnerabilities as possible. To compare static analysis tools for web applications, an adapted benchmark to the vulnerability categories included in the known standard Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten project is required. The information of the security effectiveness of a commercial static analysis tool is not usually a publicly accessible research and the state of the art on static security tool analyzers shows that the different design and… More >

Abstract Numerous industries, especially the medical industry, are likely to exhibit significant developments in the future. Ever since the announcement of the precision medicine initiative by the United States in 2015, interest in the field has considerably increased. The techniques of precision medicine are employed to provide optimal treatment and medical services to patients, in addition to the prevention and management of diseases via the collection and analysis of big data related to their individual genetic characteristics, occupation, living environment, and dietary habits. As this involves the accumulation and utilization of sensitive information, such as patient history, DNA, and personal details,… More >

Abstract A genetic basis of congenital heart disease (CHD) has been known for decades. In addition to the sequence of the genome, the contribution of epigenetics to pediatric cardiology is increasingly recognized. Multiple epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modification, and RNA-based regulation, are known mediators of cardiovascular disease, including both development and progression of CHD and its sequelae. Basic understanding of the concepts of epigenetics will be essential to all pediatric cardiologists in order to understand mechanisms of pathophysiology, pharmacotherapeutic concepts, and to understand the role of epigenetics in precision medicine.

Abstract Combining adaptive theory with an advanced second-order sliding mode control algorithm, a roll stabilization controller with aerodynamic disturbance and actuator failure consideration for spinning flight vehicles is proposed in this paper. The presented controller is summarized as an “observer-controller” system. More specifically, an adaptive second-order sliding mode observer is presented to select the proper design parameters and estimate the knowledge of aerodynamic disturbance and actuator failure, while the proposed roll stabilization control scheme can drive both roll angle and rotation rate smoothly converge to the desired value. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. More >

Abstract The objective of this paper is to propose a novel mechanical press with six-links, and to verify its feasibility in precision cutting. First, the system is presented and its advantages are discussed. Then, the kinematic analysis of the system is obtained by examining the geometry of the design. Furthermore, the optimization approach for the design is presented. Finally, a design example is given to verify the feasibility of the design by conducting computer simulation. All the above analysis and design are illustrated by using a 6-bar linkage. The results shown that the developed system is feasible and of high potential… More >

Abstract In this study, numerical simulations of mixed-mode fracture paths in dynamic fracture phenomenon are carried out by using moving finite element method based on Delaunay automatic mesh generation. In addition, the experiments under same condition was carried out, and the both results were compared. The calculated paths by the simulation agree well with the fracture paths of the experiments.

Abstract Recently, Liu (CMES 21(2007), 53) developed the modified collocation Trefftz method (MCTM) by setting a characteristic length slightly larger than the maximum radius of the computational domain. In this study, we find that the range of admissible characteristic length can be significantly enlarged if the LU decomposition is applied for solving the resulted dense unsymmetric matrix. Furthermore, we discover a range formula for admissible characteristic length, in which the number of the T-complete functions, the shape of the computation domain, and the exponent bits of the involved floating-point arithmetic have been taken into consideration. In order to validate the prescribed… More >
