Yuan Gang,Sun Rui-zhi,Shi Yin-xue 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.8 No.6

In order to achieve the collaborative completion of entire business process by composition between different workflow management systems, a process composition method based on dynamic programming has been put forward. By analyzing differences and relations between process composition and Web services composition, many aspects have been analyzed with regard to service interface of the workflow system, the interaction control between the workflow systems, parameters and message’s delivery and the planning indexes according to the characteristics of process interaction among the distributed workflow systems. When the process is running, according to the indicators and expectations of users, the optimal workflow services and sub-processes would be selected through dynamic planning method, to provide support to the dynamic combination of workflow processes in a distributed environment.

Adsorption of fluoride by porous adsorbents: Estimating pore diffusion coefficients from batch kinetic data

Gang Yuan,Bin Zhao,Khim Hoong Chu 대한환경공학회 2020 Environmental Engineering Research Vol.25 No.5

A simple method is presented for extracting pore diffusion coefficients from batch adsorption kinetic data. The method employs the classic Langmuir kinetics model which is characterized by a single rate coefficient. An analytical solution in the form of a simple algebraic equation is available for this rate model. Fitting the algebraic equation to batch kinetic data to determine the rate coefficient is straightforward and can be conveniently accomplished using standard spreadsheet programs. The resultant rate coefficient can be converted to the pertinent pore diffusion coefficient via a separate algebraic expression. The proposed modeling approach provides accurate fits of experimental kinetic data taken from the literature and yields acceptable errors in the best estimates for pore diffusion coefficients. Specific examples discussed are the adsorption of fluoride by bone char and laterite adsorbents.

Yuan-Gang Tang,Fu-Chun Sun,Zeng-Qi Sun,Ting-Liang Hu 대한전기학회 2006 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.4 No.3

To control the tip position of a flexible-link manipulator;a neural network (NN) controller is proposed in this paper. The dynamics error used to construct NN controller is derived based on output redefinition approach. Without the filtered tracking en-or;the proposed NN controller can still guarantee the closed-loop system uniformly asymptotically stable as well as NN weights bounded. Furthermore;the tracking error of desired trajectory can converge to zero with the proposed controller. For comparison an NN controller with filtered tracking en-or is also designed for the flexible-link manipulator. Finally;simulation studies are carried out to verify the theoretic results.

Research of the Interconnection of Workflow System Based on Web Service

Gang Yuan,Rui-zhi Sun,Yong Xiang,Yin-xue Shi 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Vol.10 No.2

In order to achieve the interconnection between different workflow management systems, it was proposed that all the distributed workflow systems would be encapsulated as web services to perform the entire business process collaboratively by the way of processes’ composition in this paper. By analyzing the comparison between the composition of processes and ordinary Web service, we studied interactive control, the parameters required to be passed through the distributed workflow systems, the workflow system service’s interfaces and its packaging. Furthermore we put forward a general method of the workflow systems interactive interfaces’ extension and the way of the workflow service’s encapsulating and invoking. By this approach, it can easily combine the processes or process fragments which deployed on different workflow systems without other agents and components. It also provides support for the interconnection of the workflow systems in distributed environment, and ultimately achieves a coordinated operation between different workflow engines.

Qi Yuan,Chang Li,Paul Amyotte,Lingfeng Wang,Chunmiao Yuan,Gang Li,Weidong Yan 한국고분자학회 2022 폴리머 Vol.46 No.4

Fire behavior of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) at different sample thicknesses and ignition positioningwas investigated. Effects on flame height, mass loss rate and other parameters were tested, and the flame propagationmechanism was analyzed. A method for predicting equivalent combustion diameter (D) values of the dynamic changeof liquid pool at different positions is proposed. Combined with data of sample mass loss rate, flame height can be predicted. Based on a transition state model, a method for predicting the fire risk of FPUF in late stage combustion by calculating the generation time of polyols is proposed. With edge ignition, FPUF burning produces an inclined surfaceduring the combustion process which enhances the length of the preheating zone by means of heat conduction and heatradiation. Flame spread rate (FSV) in FPUF with edge ignition was greater than with center point ignition.

Stereo-digital image correlation in the behavior investigation of CFRP-steel composite members

Xiao-Yuan He,Yun-Tong Dai,Hai-Tao Wang,Tian-Yuan Ge,Gang Wu,Jian-Xiao Wan,Shuang-Yin Cao,Fu-Jun Yang 국제구조공학회 2017 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.23 No.6

The application of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in steel structures primarily includes two categories, i.e., the bond-critical application and the contact-critical application. Debonding failure and buckling failure are the main failure modes for these two applications. Conventional electrometric techniques may not provide precise results because of the limitations associated with single-point contact measurements. A nondestructive full-field measurement technique is a valuable alternative to conventional methods. In this study, the digital image correlation (DIC) technique was adopted to investigate the bond behavior and buckling behavior of CFRP-steel composite members. The CFRP-to-steel bonded joint and the CFRPstrengthened square hollow section (SHS) steel column were tested to verify the suitability of the DIC technique. The stereo- DIC technique was utilized to measure continuous deformation. The bond-slip relationship of the CFRP-to-steel interface was derived using the DIC data. Additionally, a multi-camera DIC system consisting of four stereo-DIC subsystems was proposed and applied to the compressive test of CFRP-strengthened SHS steel column. The precise buckling location and CFRP delamination of the CFRP-strengthened SHS steel column were identified. The experimental results confirm that the stereo-DIC technique can provide effective measurements for investigating the behaviors of CFRP-steel composite members.

Aims: To assess the predictive value of biomarkers for early complication after pancreatic surgery. Methods: 950 cases were recruited from 6 centers in China. Procalcitonin,C-reactive protein and WBC were measured on 1st, 3rd and 5th postoperative day . Chi-square test was for the complication risk factors. One-way ANOVA was for the comparison between the biomarkers in these 4 days. ROC curves was for the complication predictive value. Results: 1) 502 with and 448 without complication, pancreatic fistula (380,40%) had the highest morbidity, while the level A B C fistula were 278,90 and 12. 2) In the non-complication subgroup, the mean baseline,POD1, POD3 and POD 5 of PCT were 0.1, 0.81, 0.93, 0.57ug/L (P=0.118); CRP were 8.39, 70.81,99.59, 49.49mg/L (P=0.000). In the complication subgroup, the mean baseline,POD1, POD3 and POD 5 of PCT were 0.09, 0.93, 0.77, 0.37(P=0.000), CRP were 9.30, 79.70, 153.01, 85.83. (P=0.000) 3) There were significant differences in the subgroups classified by occurrence of infectious complication, abdominal infection and sepsis in POD3 and POD 5 of PCT, and significant difference by occurrence of complication, pancreatic fistula in POD3 and POD 5 of CRP, WBC and neutrophil%. 5) The AUC of POD3 and POD 5 of PCT were 0.8, 0.7, 0.6 (P=0.000) to predict sepsis, abdominal infection and infectious complication. AUC of POD3 and POD5 of CRP and WBC were 0.7,0.6 (P=0.000)to predict complication and pancreatic fistula. Conclusions: PCT is better to predict infectious complication, abdominal infection and sepsis while CRP, WBC and Neutrophil % are better to predict complication and pancreatic fistula.

A Multi-group Multi-agent System Based on Reinforcement Learning and Flocking

Gang Wang,Jian Xiao,Rui Xue,Yongting Yuan 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2022 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.20 No.7

In this paper, we present an inter-group confrontation and intra-group cooperation method for a predator group and prey group, and construct a multi-group multi-agent system. We model the motion of the prey group using the flocking control algorithm. The prey group can cooperatively avoid predators and maintain the integrity of the group after the predators have been detected. The autonomous decision-making of the predator group is implemented based on the distributed reinforcement learning algorithm. To efficiently share the learning experience among agents in the predator group, a distributed cooperative reinforcement learning algorithm with variable weights is proposed to accelerate the convergence of the learning algorithm. Simulations show the feasibility of this proposed method.
