Bei-Bei Wang,Yuan-Gong Sun 제어로봇시스템학회 2014 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2014 No.10

In this paper, we consider the consensus and H∞ consensus problems of heterogeneous multi-agent systems composed of first-order and second-order integrator agents in directed networks with time-delay. Based on the graph theory and the reduced-order transformation, we first rewrite the heterogeneous multi-agent systems into the corresponding reduced-order systems. Then, we study the consensus of the heterogeneous multi-agent system with time-delay by using the linear matrix inequality method. As a result, sufficient conditions for consensus and H∞ consensus of heterogeneous multi-agent systems in terms of linear matrix inequalities are established. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the main theoretical results.

《说文解字》“戈”部字六书分类辨证

王??(Bei-Bei Wang),?鎭?(Chin-Kang Chong) 중국어문논역학회 2023 中國語文論譯叢刊 Vol.- No.53

허신 《설문해자》의 육서를 통한 한자 고석은 당시로서는 탁견임에 분명하다. 그러나 허신의 육서 분류는 변증을 필요로 하는 부분이 여전히 남아 있다. 예컨대, “戈”部의 경우 “戈”部의 글자가 모두 26字이고 이와 밀접한 관련성이 있는 “戉”와 “我”部의 글자를 합치면 총 30字가 된다. 허신은 이 글자들을 단순하게 상형(象形)⋅회의(會意)⋅형성(形聲)으로 분류했다. 그러나 “戉”와 “我”는 형성자나 회의자가 아닌 상형자으로 봐야 하며, “賊” “戲” “戜” “戚” 등은 형성자가 아닌 회의자로 봐야 하고, “戰” “(원문참조)” “戕”의 성부는 소리뿐만 아니라 의미도 표시하고 있기 때문에 마땅히 겸류자에 포함시켜야 한다. 출토 문헌과 선행 연구의 검토에 기반한 본고의 논증이 향후 ‘설문’ 연구와 ‘설문’ 및 기타 주제 간의 교차 연구를 위한 몇 가지 유의미한 정보를 제공할 수 있기를 기대해 본다. Xu Shen’s ShuoWenJieZi uses LiuShu(the six categories of Chinese characters) to interpret and categorizes Chinese characters. Taking the Ge department as an example, there are total 30 characters in this section which include the Ge department and the Yue, Wo departments which are closely related to Ge department. According to Xu Shen’s standard of LiuShu, he classified the characters into three categories: pictographic character, associative compounds character and Pictophonetic character. Based on the results of the unearthed literature and previous research, there is some Errors in Xu Shen’s classification of the LiuShu. In fact, The characters of ‘Yue’ and ‘Wo’ should be classified as pictographic characters. The characters of ‘Zei’, ‘Xi’, ‘Die’, ‘Qi’, etc. should be classified as associative compounds characters. The characters of ‘Zhan’, ‘Kan’, ‘Qiang’ should be classified as Pictophonetic characters. This article aims to reanalyze the relationship between characters and meanings from the perspective of philology, Reclassify the LiuShu of the Ge department and point out the reasons for Xu Shen’s mistake. It is hoped to provide some basis for the relevant research on ShuoWenJieZi and the cross disciplinary research between ShuoWenJieZi and other disciplines.

Fault detection based on polygon area statistics of transformation matrix identified from combined moving window data

Bei Wang,Xuefeng Yan,Yongfei Jin 한국화학공학회 2017 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.34 No.2

Principal component analysis (PCA) has been widely used in monitoring industrial processes, but it is still necessary to make improvements in having a timely and effective access to variation information. It is known that the transformation matrix generated from real-time PCA model indicates inner relations between original variables and new produced components, so this matrix would be different when modeling data deviate due to the change of the operating condition. Based on this theory, this paper proposes a novel real-time monitoring approach which utilizes polygon area method to measure the variation degree of the transformation matrices and then constructs a statistic for monitoring purpose. The on-line data are collected through a combined moving window (CMW), containing both normal and monitored data. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a simple numerical simulation, the CSTR process and the classic Tennessee Eastman process are employed for illustration, with some PCA-based methods used for comparison.

Conditional Probability of Cauchy Distribution in Automatic Sleep Stage Determination for Sleep Data with Artifacts

Bei Wang,Takenao Sugi,Fusae Kawana,Xingyu Wang,Masatoshi Nakamura 제어로봇시스템학회 2008 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2008 No.10

An automatic sleep stage determination system dealing with the sleep data contaminated by artifacts is developed, which is working on an expert knowledge-based multi-valued decision making method. The knowledge database is consisted of probability density functions of parameters for various sleep stages according to the visual inspection by a qualified clinician. The probability density functions are approximated by Cauchy distribution on histograms. Sleep stages are determined automatically according to the maximum value of conditional probability. Due to the infinite variance of Cauchy distribution, the effect of mis-determination caused by artifacts can be abated. The result of automatic sleep stage determination was satisfactory. The presented automatic sleep stage determination can be an assistant tool for clinical practice.

Wang, Bei,Su, Dawei,Park, Jinsoo,Ahn, Hyojun,Wang, Guoxiu Springer 2012 Nanoscale research letters Vol.7 No.1

<P>SnO<SUB>2</SUB> nanoparticles were dispersed on graphene nanosheets through a solvothermal approach using ethylene glycol as the solvent. The uniform distribution of SnO<SUB>2</SUB> nanoparticles on graphene nanosheets has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The particle size of SnO<SUB>2</SUB> was determined to be around 5 nm. The as-synthesized SnO<SUB>2</SUB>/graphene nanocomposite exhibited an enhanced electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries, compared with bare graphene nanosheets and bare SnO<SUB>2</SUB> nanoparticles. The SnO<SUB>2</SUB>/graphene nanocomposite electrode delivered a reversible lithium storage capacity of 830 mAh g<SUP>−1</SUP> and a stable cyclability up to 100 cycles. The excellent electrochemical properties of this graphene-supported nanocomposite could be attributed to the insertion of nanoparticles between graphene nanolayers and the optimized nanoparticles distribution on graphene nanosheets.</P>

Elevated PIVKA-II is Associated with Early Recurrence and Poor Prognosis in BCLC 0-A Hepatocellular Carcinomas

Wang, Bei-Li,Tan, Qi-Wen,Gao, Xing-Hui,Wu, Jiong,Guo, Wei Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.16

Background: To investigate the prognostic value of serum PIVKA-II (prothrombin induced by the absence of vitamin K or antagonist-II) in BCLC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer) 0-A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after curative resection. Materials and Methods: Preoperative sera were collected from 140 patients with BCLC 0-A HCCs undergoing curative resection during 2011-2012 in Zhongshan Hospital. Follow-up ended on November 2013. ELISA was used to detect the serum concentrations of preoperative PIVKA-II. The prognostic value of PIVKA-II and other clinicopathological factors was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. Results: During follow-up, 39 of 140 patients suffered recurrence and the 1-year recurrence rate was 27.9%. The high-PIVKA-II expression group had lower 1-year time to progression (TTP) compared with the low-expression group (54.8% vs 20.2%, p<0.001). Patients with high preoperative PIVKA-II expression showed a relatively higher risk of developing postoperative recurrence than those with low expression in the low-recurrence-risk subgroups, including ${\alpha}$-fetoprotein ${\leq}400ng/mL$ (45.4% vs 16.7%; p=0.006), tumor size ${\leq}5cm$ (54.2% vs 18.1%; p<0.001), single tumor (56.0% vs 19.1%; p<0.001), absence of satellite lesions (53.3% vs 19.8%; p=0.001), absence of vascular invasion (52.6% vs 14.9%; p=0.002), and Edmondson stage I/II (60.9% vs 20.3%; p<0.001). PIVKA-II was the strongest independent prognostic factor for TTP (hazard ratio, 2.877; 95% CI 1.524-5.429; p=0.001). Conclusions: Elevated PIVKA-II is associated with early recurrence of BCLC 0-A HCC after curative resection and can be considered a novel prognostic predictor.

Fault detection and identification using a Kullback-Leibler divergence based multi-block principal component analysis and bayesian inference

Bei Wang,Xuefeng Yan,Qingchao Jiang 한국화학공학회 2014 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.31 No.6

Considering the huge number of variables in plant-wide process monitoring and complex relationships(linear, nonlinear, partial correlation, or independence) among these variables, multivariate statistical process monitoring(MSPM) performance may be deteriorated especially by the independent variables. Meanwhile, whether related variableskeep high concordance during the variation process is still a question. Under this circumstance, a multi-block technologybased on mathematical statistics method, Kullback-Leibler Divergence, is proposed to put the variables having similarstatistical characteristics into the same block, and then build principal component analysis (PCA) models in each lowdimensionalsubspace. Bayesian inference is also employed to combine the monitoring results from each sub-blockinto the final monitoring statistics. Additionally, a novel fault diagnosis approach is developed for fault identification. The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated by applications on a simple simulated multivariate processand the Tennessee Eastman benchmark process.

Wang Ming-Xu,차인수,Wang Yue,Bei Lei,최홍준,정경환,김동묵,김봄,오승아,Ye In Cheol,유일준 한국에너지학회 2023 에너지공학 Vol.32 No.1

The pipeline conveying natural gas must be regularly inspected by the detection device, and the cracks and corrosion condition inside the pipeline should be detected. Generally, the detection device consists of three parts: drive part, detection part and energy part. Since pipeline transportation is long-distance transportation and cannot realize wired detection, the energy part needs to provide enough electric energy for the detection part to meet the energy consumption of the detection part. The method of obtaining energy for the energy part is very important. In this paper, the energy part is studied, and an efficient energy part is designed. By analyzing the change law of the positive pressure on the inner wall of the energy acquisition wheel on the pipeline, the corresponding torque and power changes are obtained when the detector moves at different speeds. Through the test platform system, the output power of the energy part at different speeds is collected, and the accuracy of the theoretical calculation is verified.
