Tang, Zhipeng,Liu, Anfeng,Li, Zhetao,Choi, Young-june,Sekiya, Hiroo,Li, Jie Hindawi Limited 2016 Mobile information systems Vol.2016 No.-

<P>VCC is a computing paradigm which consists of vehicles cooperating with each other to realize a lot of practical applications, such as delivering packages. Security cooperation is a fundamental research topic in Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC). Because of the existence of malicious vehicles, the security cooperation has become a challenging issue in VCC. In this paper, a trust-based model for security cooperating, named DBTEC, is proposed to promote vehicles’ security cooperation in VCC. DBTEC combines the indirect trust estimation in Public board and the direct trust estimation in Private board to compute the trust value of vehicles when choosing cooperative partners; a trustworthy cooperation path generating scheme is proposed to ensure the safety of cooperation and increase the cooperation completion rates in VCC. Extensive experiments show that our scheme improves the overall cooperation completion rates by 6~7%.</P>

To develop an optimum design method for impulse water turbines with low specific speed, a representative impulse water turbine with low specific speed used in agricultural irrigation machinery was optimized with a combination of an orthogonal experimental design, a genetic algorithm, and a BP neural network in this study. Numerical calculation was applied to analyze interflow characteristics for optimized and original water turbines. Results showed that the internal flow characteristics of the optimized water turbine presented remarkable improvement compared with the original water turbine. Pressure distribution increased, the vortex strip in the draft tube was reduced remarkably, and impeller torque increased by 26 %. In addition, the optimized impeller was manufactured by 3D printing, and performance comparison was conducted between experiments of the optimized and original water turbines. The efficiency of the optimized water turbine reached 42.5 %, which exceeded the original water turbine’s of 8.5 %. With increasing rotating speed, maximum efficiency running point moved to a high flow rate, and highly efficient areas expanded. Internal characteristic analysis and a full-scale experiment for both water turbines showed that the performance of the optimized water turbine exhibited substantial improvement. The analysis and experiment also verified the theoretical correctness and feasibility of the proposed optimum design method.

Zhipeng Ye,Peng Liu,Wei Zhao,Xianglong Tang 한국산학기술학회 2015 SmartCR Vol.5 No.3

More images are available nowadays because of the development of techniques to effectively and automatically analyze images. These techniques have become a key challenge in computer vision. In this paper, we focus on the structure of knowledge representation for image analysis from a global perspective, which can also be applied to image classification, retrieval, and object recognition. The structure is divided into two hierarchies, implicit and explicit knowledge representation. Implicit knowledge representation utilizes low-level features to directly categorize an image, whereas explicit knowledge representation depends on the inference process based on corresponding rules in a constructed knowledge base. Popular datasets for image analysis are also grouped and introduced. Contributions in the field and future research directions are reported in the conclusions.

The effectiveness of conventional tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) in controlling the wind-induced response of tall flexible structures has been indicated. However, the impaired control effect in the detuning condition or a considerably high mass cost of liquid may be incurred in ensuring the high-level serviceability. To provide an efficient TLD-based solution for wind-induced vibration control, this study proposes a serviceability-oriented optimal design method for isolated TLDs (ILDs) and derives analytical design formulae. The ILD is implemented by mounting the TLD on the linear isolators. Stochastic response analysis is performed for the ILD-equipped structure subjected to stochastic wind and white noise, and the results are considered to derive the closed-form responses. Correspondingly, an extensive parametric analysis is conducted to clarify a serviceability-oriented optimal design framework by incorporating the comfort demand. The obtained results show that the highlevel serviceability demand can be satisfied by the ILD based on the proposed optimal design framework. Analytical design formulae can be preliminarily adopted to ensure the target serviceability demand while enhancing the structural displacement performance to increase the safety level. Compared with conventional TLD systems, the ILD exhibits higher effectiveness and a larger frequency bandwidth for wind-induced vibration control at a small mass ratio.

Although many hydrogels have been applied to wearable sensors, it is still challenging to simultaneouslyrealize hydrogels with optical transparency, superior mechanical properties, excellent sensing performance,and anti-freezing by using inexpensive raw materials and an easy preparation process. Herein,using ethylene glycol/H2O (EG/ H2O) as a solvent, poly(vinyl alcohol)/EG organohydrogel (PVA/EGOHG) was prepared by a simple heating and frozen-thawing method. Owing to the multifunctionalityof EG (i.e., physical cross-linker, anti-freezer and co-solvent), PVA/EG OHG demonstrated excellent integratedproperties, including high strength, high toughness, and anti-freezing performances. Besides, PVA/EG OHG also showed low friction, self-cleaning, and frost resistance properties. After the introduction ofLiCl, ionically conductive PVA/EG @LiCl organohydrogel was served as a self-cleaning strain sensor, whichcould be long-term stable to detect the motions of human under room and low temperatures. The studyprovides to further understanding of the organohydrogel, which will help us design next-generationhigh-performance organohydrogels.

In pursuit of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) PEF materials with high molecular weight,satisfactory appearance and faster crystallization rate, its preparation from dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (DMFD) with ethylene glycol (EG) in the trace presence of metal zinc was performed viatransesterification method. Optimization of the main polymerization parameters enabled Zn-catalyzedPEF to gain high molecular weight (Mn, 5.40 104 g mol 1) and low content of diethylene glycolfurandicarboxylate unit (DEGF, 2.91%). On the basis of experimental phenomena and high performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC), the actual catalytic active species of metal zinc in the polymerization wasspeculated to be a salt of 2, 5-furandicarboxylate derivative (Zn(II)). The in-stiu catalyst can efficaciouslyinhibit the influence of by-product FDCA on the color of PEF, which displayed quite better appearance(close to white). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed that the in-stiu catalytic system acted asnucleating agent (NA) and the crystallization half-time (t1/2) of PEFs-Zn was only 1/4 of that of PEF-tin. Additionally, series of high molecular weight furan-based polyesters from DMFD and diols with differentmethylene (3, 5, 6 and 8) were obtained by zinc powder as in-stiu catalyst, which further evidenced it tobe efficiency and universality.

In this investigation, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) paper consists of MWCNTs and cellulose was fabricated by traditional paper-making method. It was applied directly as negative electrode in flexible lithium ion battery to replace ordinary electrode which is combined with anode material and current collector. The electrochemical performances of the as-produced MWCNT paper (AMP) and carbonized MWCNT paper (CMP) were evaluated in this study. The morphology and structure of the MWCNT papers were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical performance of the battery was operated by cell test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement. The charging and discharging results indicated that the CMP behaves with higher capacity than AMP. And the EIS analysis showed that a lower charge transfer resistance can be obtained in the CMP. The excellent electrochemical performance verifies the feasibility of MWCNT papers as a promising candidate for the anode in flexible lithium ion battery.

From the perspective of integrated energy system in coastal areas, this paper frst builds an optimal operation model of integrated energy system in coastal areas with the minimum daily total operating cost and the minimum amount of abandoned wind, and constrains the output condition of the corresponding equipment. Then, the mechanism of the adjustable characteristics of seawater desalination load is analyzed, the adjustment range of seawater desalination load is calculated, and the integrated energy system optimization operation method in coastal areas is designed considering the desalination load. Finally, the winter scene of a coastal area in northern China is taken as an example to conduct simulation verifcation. The results show that the total daily operation cost of the system is reduced by 4.6% and the wind power consumption rate is increased by 2.87% after considering the load regulation efect of seawater desalination, which efectively verifes that the integrated energy system operation strategy designed plays a signifcant role in improving the system operation economy and promoting the consumption of new energy.
