The closure measures of fire zones are taken after gas explosion in the working face, which can bring two problems: whether closure measures will lead to a secondary gas explosion in closed fire zones or not, and what will be the rough time interval between taking measures and gas explosion occurrence. To solve these problems, gas accumulation characteristics, oxygen concentration characteristics and fire sources in the fire closure process were analysed, and then the characteristics and rules of gas explosion were acquired, in addition, the pressure change and gas accumulation model in closure zones under three conditions (the temporary closure wall only in air inlet laneway, only in air return laneway, or both in air inlet laneway and air return laneway) were obtained. Finally, the measures and technologies to prevent and control gas explosion were introduced in the fire closure process of working face.

Outbursts of coal and gas could be induced by rock cross-cut coal uncovering. ANSYS is used to numerically simulate the stress, strain and energy of surrounding rock of roadway during the process of rock cross-cut coal uncovering. Modelling results show that there is a banding tension stress zone in roof and floor of roadway after excavation. Principal and shear stress concentration are formed in the upper and under area of the anterior heading face, which is symmetrically distributed between medial axis of roadway, while stress, strain and strain energy of overlying strata above the coal seam approximately keep invariant. The occurrence of the stress concentration in upper area of the anterior heading face could contribute to the instability and failure of coal and rock mass. The area with weak destruction-resisting ability is the most easily to be the releasing port of outburst and should be regarded as the key region in outburst prevention.

Based on the self-designed coal containing methane gas desorption law experimental system and coal gas desorption kinetics law, the gas desorption law for different particle size coal under isothermal-isobaric condition are measured by combining combined simulation measurement with the theoretical analysis. The effect of particle size on coal gas desorption laws are obtained through fitting analysis on experimental data: 1.Under the same sorption and desorption conditions, coal particle size was inversely related to total desorption gas amount in the same period. 2. For coal with any particle size, the gas desorption amount firstly increased as time, and finally reached the maximum value, which was equal to the gas sorption amount unit per mass. 3. For coal with higher gas and coal outburst risk trend, the effect of particle size on initial desorption velocity and total desorption amount with time was less. 4. Within the limit particle size, the gas initial desorption velocity had a negative relationship with particle size. Finally we theoretically analysed the effect of particle size on coal gas desorption laws.

In order to enhance the visual simulation effect of weft knitted fabric in weft knitting CAD system, a three dimensional surface model of weft knitted structures is developed and realized on the computer screen. It is assumed that the yarn centreline is continuous when it is stressed to bend, and the cross-section of yarn is circular and uniform. Three dimensional geometric models are created by using second order continuous NURBS curves. According to the trend of the yarn centreline, a surface model of the yarn is created by sweeping approach. With developing tools of Visual C++ and OpenGL graphics library, the surface model of loop is achieved by the method of mesh chips on computer screen, and the three dimensional simulation of weft knitted fabric is realized. The simulation effect based on surface model can be seen from the simulation results of basic weft knitted fabric.

The physicians observed the echo-texture and the shape changes of supraspinatus to decide the severity of rotator cuff disease in the clinical standard ultrasound examination. It is not reliable because the accuracy of visual observation depends on the experience of physicians. This article proposes a new algorithm called Firefly RBF network to training the radial basis function neural network by applying the firefly algorithm for classifying the different supraspinatus disease groups that are normal, tendon inflammation, calcific tendonitis and tendon tears of the ultrasound supraspinatus images based on the texture analysis technology. The texture features are generated from four methods those are the grey-level co-occurrence matrix, the texture spectrum, the fractal dimension and the texture feature coding method to analyse the tissue characteristic of supraspinatus. The F-score measurement are used to select powerful features those are generated from the four texture analysis methods for comparison in the training stage, meanwhile, the proposed Firefly RBF network is used to discriminate test images into one of the four disease groups in the classification stage. Experimental results showed that the percentage of correct classification was more than 93.7% that is superior to other methods in the classification of ultrasonic supraspinatus images.

The flow allocation of paths was a key stage of the transportation network’s efficiency, particularly in the hazardous chemicals logistics network where many weights were stochastic. Over the years, a variety of methods (or heuristics) have been proposed to solve this complex optimization problem, with good results in some cases just with limitations in the special fields. In this work, we develop an algorithm for model multi-objective that combines ideas from stochastic weight. Our method performs well even when the order of magnitude and/or the range of the parameters were unknown. The method refines iteratively a sequence of parameter distributions through preference combined with partial exampling from a historical prior defined over the support of all previous iterations. We exemplify our method with multi-objective improved models using both simulated and real experimental data and estimate the weight efficiently even in the absence of a priori knowledge about the weight.

Urban regeneration is regarded as a more deliberate and harmonious progress of development, which takes a series of more sensible and multiple regeneration ways to achieve the goals, such as protection, repair, reuse and redevelopment. It is suggested that urban regeneration has positive effects on urban development and social economic system. Improvements in urban systems mainly originate from the environmental improvement, including ecological environment, social environment and the neighbourhood environment. Urban regeneration construction project and its decision-making model become the important research contents of urban regeneration. This paper discusses the urban regeneration from angle of project, and suggests a mathematical decision-making model of the urban regeneration construction project, which considers the risk, cost and environment constraints. Meanwhile, it is suggested that the joint exploitation is an important selection criterion. A case simulation is suggested in this paper in order to test the strategy model.

The evolution of landslide displacement is affected by many factors. This paper studied the displacement monitoring data of Liangshuijing Landslide with Factor Analysis Method and found that the dominant factors influencing landslide displacement were in decreasing sequence: cumulative rainfall of anterior two months> rainfall of current month> the average reservoir level of current month>reservoir level fluctuation of current month. The paper selected three typical GPS monitoring points (ZJC09, ZJC11, ZJC13) of Liangshuijing Landslide to forecast their displacements by adopting the time series additive model on basis of the conclusion of previous factor analysis. The accumulative displacement of Liangshuijing Landslide can be divided into trend term and random term. The polynomial fitting was used for trend term displacement prediction. BP neural network model was used for the random displacement prediction. The final calculation results indicated that combination of factor analysis method and time series additive model could generate a reasonable and accurate prediction of landslide.

This paper documents a relationship between analysts' recommendations and the stock price reaction in China. Using a new methodology that combines the event of stock dividends and transfer of reserves to common shares, the author provides evidence of the decision value of analysts' recommendations that is different from the mature market. The results show that analysts' cumulative rating values positively relate to the cumulative abnormal returns. Favourable ratings result in the lower cumulative abnormal returns. The cumulative number of analyst rating agencies negatively relates to the cumulative abnormal returns. In general, analysts' information does not bring abnormal returns for investors.

Ecological function regionalization is a kind of geographic spatial division, which is based on the spatial differentiation of ecosystem functions. Based on an analysis of the primary features of the ecological environment of Chaohu Lake Basin in Anhui Province, the principles, bases, methodology and nomenclature of ecological function regionalization were determined. As the sub-valley is an independent geographical unit within the lake basin, its ecosystem sustains ecological integrity from the upstream through to the downstream. Therefore, ensuring the monitoring and management of the regional ecological environment in the sub-valley unit is of great importance to the conservation and ecological restoration of the regional ecosystem. Through extraction of land use information from remote sensing data, and sub-valley division from DEM analysis, this paper discusses the methodology of sub-valley ecological function regionalization in the research area based on the application of geoinformatics technology (e.g. RS and GIS technology). The ecological function regionalization of the Chaohu Lake Basin is then calculated, and the five ecological function regions and twelve sub-regions are subdivided. This study has an important practical relevance for the integrated management of the ecological environment of the Chaohu Lake Basin, and provides scientific grounds for the improved industrial distribution, ecological hazard prevention and reduction, environmental protection and construction planning in this area.

The proportion of disabled people is rising and now represents 1 billion people–15% of the global population, which leads to increasingly demand for orthotic device. However, moulds for orthoses manufacturing through traditionally manual technique are often dedicated, and this causes problems such as long lead time, lack of flexibility, low-efficiency and material waste, further leading to serious financial burns and environmental pollution as well. In this paper, an innovative method is proposed to replace traditionally dedicated moulds with reconfigurable moulds utilizing screw-pins that are directly transferred to the vacuum forming of thermoplastic material at low cost for the fabrication of orthoses. In the developed system, the fast reconstruction of human body anatomy based on the 3D digital scanning, is introduced firstly, the reconfigurable mould utilizing screw-pins is then generated and machined based on the reconstructed human body anatomy. After this, vacuum forming is performed on the reconfigurable mould, which could be reused for different anatomical shape variations by adjusting screw-pins. Additionally, an intelligent database is developed and a lot of reconstructed anatomies, the best practices of experienced orthotists, optimal parameters for 3D digital scanning, reconfigurable mould generation and machining and vacuum forming are stored, which will allow rapid recall of the stored information to reduce too much man-machine interaction and expertise dramatically.

Data mining is able to extract potentially useful information from plentiful seemingly unrelated data. A high efficiency is therefore obtained using these useful data in work or study. Association rules mining is a significant branch in data mining. It mirrors the implicit relations among transactions in mass data. In addition, association rules can intuitively reflect the associations among item sets in data, and the relations are established according to the frequencies of the item sets appearing in data. This method, which explains its rules clearly and is easily to understand, therefore is different from the traditional statistical method. This research introduced and applied the mining algorithms of fuzzy association rules to the employment data analysis of a higher vocational college, in order to find significant association rules from numerous data and provide guidance for the education and employment in the future, therefore improving the employment rate further.

This paper described the preparation of novel biodegradable nanocapsule based on self-assembly of -Polyglutamic acid (-PGA) and chitosan (CS). After the Plackett-Burman design (PBD), the impact of mass concentration and volume of -PGA and pH value of CS were characterized by size and PDI of the nanocapsule. A Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the preparation of the nanocapsule. The optimized condition was: pH value of CS was 4.0; volume of γ-PGA was 18mL; mass concentration of γ-PGA was 0.1g/L. The Z-Ave and PDI of the nanocapsules prepared under the best conditions were 175 nm and 0.15 respectively. In this work, we have shown that nano-sized particles have been successfully assembled from the γ-PGA and chitosan without employing covalent linkages between these biopolymers. These results will provide a novel concept in the design of carrier systems composed of polyion complex (PIC).
