The load balancing strategy, which is based on the mission deployment, has become a hot topic of green cloud data centre. For the question that currently the overloaded physical hosts in the cloud data centre causes the load imbalance of the whole cloud data centre, the proposed makes an intensive study which is about the select location question of the deployment tasks on the physical host and then this proposed a new heuristic method which is called LBC. Its main idea consists of two parts: First, based on the function, which denotes the performance fitness of physical hosts, it conducts a constraint limit to all physical hosts in cloud data centre. So a task deployment strategy with global search capability is achieved. Secondly, using clustering methods can further optimize and improve the final clustering results. Thus, the whole way achieves the long-term load balancing of the cloud data centre. The results show that compared with the conventional approach, LBC significantly reduces the number of failure of the deployment tasks, improves the throughput rate of the cloud data centre, optimizes the performance of external services of the data centre, and performs well in terms of load balancing. Besides, it makes the operation of cloud data centres be more green and efficient.

WSN is often deployed in unattended or even hostile environments. Therefore, providing security in WSN is a major requirement for acceptance and deployment of WSN. Furthermore, establishing trust in a clustered environment can provide numerous advantages. We proposed a light-weight trust model which considers data aggregation and communication failure due to wireless channels. It computes retransmission rate to get success, failed and uncertain value, and details the data in parameters to depend against attacks. With comparing our model with LDTS and Model using Trust Matrix, we conclude that our model has implemented a trade-off between detection rate and communication consumption.

The cloud platform provides abundant resources and services for users. More and more mobile users began to use the cloud services. They have higher real-time demands on service. The size of traditional virtual machine (VM) operating system is basically large. It will take many resources in deployment and communication process, and always affect the real-time performance of system. To reduce communication overhead and improve deployment speed of VMs, this paper proposes an approach of customized VM image with LFS. LFS can reduce the size of VM image efficiently and enable flexible customization of the VM image by incremental customization. The experimental results show us that the size of VM image generated by the proposed method is smaller than the one generated by kernel tailoring technology in system overhead. Meanwhile it is also faster in running speed.

A framework of blind multi-image super resolution reconstruction method is proposed to improve the resolution of low resolution images with Gaussian blur and noise. In the low resolution imaging model, the shift motion, Gaussian blur, down-sampling, as well as Gaussian noise are all considered. Firstly, the Gaussian noise in the low resolution image is reduced through Wiener filtering method. Secondly, the Gaussian blur of the de-noised image is estimated through error-parameter analysis method. Thirdly, the motion parameters are estimated. Finally, super resolution reconstruction is performed through iterative back projection algorithm. Experimental results show that the Gaussian blur and motion parameters are estimated with high precision, and that the Gaussian noise is restrained effectively. The visual effect and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the super resolution reconstructed image are enhanced. The importance of Gaussian blur estimation and effect of Gaussian de-noising in multi-image super resolution reconstruction are tested in an experimental way.

Mobile cloud computing utilizes virtualized cloud computing technologies in the mobile Internet. To improve Quality of Service (QoS) and execution efficiency of mobile cloud applications, we propose a novel computing scheme called “Follow-Me” (FM), which is based on live wide-area virtual machine (VM) migration. In a virtualized mobile cloud environment based on the VMs of cloud side and mobile devices of user side, the purpose of the proposed FM scheme is to migrate the corresponding VM in real-time when a mobile device moves from one service area to another. FM obtains the current positions of mobile devices, estimates the next servicing areas, and finally migrates the VMs along with the mobile users’ movement. The proposed FM scheme has been tested in an experimental environment by using the CloudSim platform. The experimental results demonstrate that FM evidently improves the QoS of mobile cloud computing compared with the existing approaches. FM achieves a better average service response time, a clearly smaller error rate and consumes less energy.

For optical images, cloud and cloud shadow is always a problem during image processing and interpretation. Landsat ETM+ images, as a kind of optical images, are affected by cloud too. On the other hand, microwave images such as ALOS PALSAR images, which depend on microwave, is not affected by cloud, thus they are cloud-free. The aim of this study is to develop a semi-automatic method for removing cloud and cloud shadow in Landsat ETM+ images based on fusion of Landsat ETM+ image and ALOS PALSAR image. The key point of this method is to develop a cloud and cloud shadow mask based on which Landsat ETM+ and ALOS PALSAR images can be fused. To accurately define cloud and cloud shadow area, we first approximately draw the area of interest containing cloud and cloud shadow manually, and the resulted AOI image greatly reduce the number of ground objects and the confusion between objects as well. By analysing the spectral and the grey value of the AOI image, we then define LCI (local cloud index), LSI (local shadow index), and LGI (local ground index) to accurately identify cloud and cloud shadow area in Landsat ETM+ images. Finally, a combination mask of cloud and cloud shadow is developed. Based on this mask, Landsat ETM+ image and ALOS PALSAR image are merged. The fused image is cloud free, at the same time; it keeps the spectral feature and the integrity of Landsat ETM+ image.

Compressed sensing (CS) theory provides a novel sensing/sampling and processing paradigm that breaks through the limitation of Nyquist rate to some applications. However, it is usually happened to the instability and redundancy of the acquired CS measurements. In view of this, we propose an efficient method to achieve adaptive minimal measurements with fewer measurements and good reconstruction performance by adding the pre-processing block into CS data acquiring and processing paradigm. In the proposed method, we firstly obtain the measurements to perfectly reconstruct the signal, and then design the optimization method to obtain adaptive minimal measurements by eliminating the redundant measurements. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain fewer measurements to perfectly reconstruct the signal than that of classical CS and sequential compressed sensing frameworks.

Aiming at problem of WCDMA uplink signal being difficult to be detected under low SNR, this paper proposes a type of algorithm in which sliding match combines with power spectrum to detect WCDMA signal. Firstly, this algorithm estimates desynchronizing point of signal using Frobenius norm. According to desynchronizing point, a whole cycle of information sequence is intercepted. Correlation of OVSF code sequence is utilized in which residual carrier or DC component of signal would come into being while the received OVSF code sequence completely matches with local OVSF code sequence. Then its power spectrum is calculated and sharp spectral peak would appear in the frequency position of power spectrum. Through detecting amplitude and position of spectral peak, frequencies of OVSF code sequence and residual carrier utilized in WCDMA signal could be accurately estimated. Simulation results show that this algorithm rapidly realizes the estimation on OVSF code sequence and desynchronizing point keeps good detection effect and may effectively overcome the influences of residual frequency offset on it.

The objective of the study was to provide morphological data of the distal tibia to offer guidance on the required screw length. Computed tomography scans of the ankle in 225 patients were reviewed. Then parameters in the three-dimensional reconstruction images were measured by three independent, qualified observers on 2 separate occasions. The anteroposterior length increases from medial to lateral margin at the level of the base of the tibiofibular syndesmosis. On both proximal and distal planes of tibiofibular syndesmosis, the medial-lateral width increases from posterior to anterior margin. Significant differences were observed in all parameters between male and female and in the minimum width at the level of the roof of the syndesmosis between left and right limbs (P<0.05). All of the parameters exhibited moderate to excellent intra-class correlation coefficient. The anteroposterior screws would probably penetrate the far cortex and injure the structures surrounding the distal tibia if longer than 35.35 mm and 32.53 mm in male and female. The screws should not longer than the maximum diagonals which are 51.29 mm and 46.58 mm on distal plane and 43.64 mm and 38.24 mm on proximal plane in male and female respectively, or inadvertent distal tibiofibular syndesmosis penetration may occur.

In this paper, we study the problem of how to react when an ongoing project is disrupted. The focus is on the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with finish–start precedence constraints and the recovery strategies based on disruption management for the different types of disruptions are proposed. The goal is to get back on track as soon as possible at minimum cost, where cost is now a function of the deviation from the original schedule. The problem is solved with a differential evolution (DE) algorithm that can be solved more perfectly on the objective function. The new model is significantly different from the original one due to the fact that a different set of feasibility conditions and performance requirements must be considered during the recovery process. Project scheduling problem library (PSPLIB) has been taken into account so as to test the effect of novel hybrid method. Simulation results and comparisons determine the effects of different factors related to the recovery process and show that the differential evolution algorithm is competitive and stable in performance.

This paper is concerned with the optimal dynamic multi-stage portfolio of mean- dynamic var based on high frequency exchange data with the constraint of transaction costs transaction volume. The proposed solution approach is based on robust optimization, which allows us to obtain a worst best but exact and explicit problem formulation in terms of a convex quadratic program. In contrast to the mainstream stochastic programming approach to multi-period optimization, which has the drawback of being computationally intractable, the proposed setup leads to optimization problems that can be solved efficiently.

It is very important to ensure that the logic structure of business process model is correct before the model is implemented. Because traditional graphical process modelling methods lack efficiency mechanisms or rules to ensure correctness of the logical structure during business process modelling, they need additional methods to verify its correctness of the logic structure after the business process model is established. Therefore, the well-formed business process modelling mechanism is researched. The business process logic structure model is built firstly. Then the semantic and syntactic rules are presents for the correctness of business process logic structure model, and the algorithm is proposed to detect whether the model meets the rules. The modelling mechanism has been applied in our business process scheduling optimization system with integration of modelling and simulation, which shows its feasibility and effectiveness.

At present, the Remote Sensing is the most advantage method of studying on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) from the space. In general, the method uses remote sensing images to inverse the brightness temperature or land surface temperature to define the UHI. But have any differences of UHI defined by the two kinds of temperature? And what are the differences? This problem is rarely being studied now. Based on this, the brightness temperature (BT) and the land surface temperature (LST) of the Chengdu City were retrieved using Landsat ETM+ image obtained on July 30, 2006. And then, the differences of UHI defined by the BT and the LST were studied from three aspects, which were temperature value, temperature classification and heat island intensity respectively. Research result are the following: (1) There were some differences between BT and LST, and the variation level of LST was higher than BT. (2)There was a slight difference only on the area covered by the low temperature and the secondary low temperature, and the area covered by the others was equal. Therefore, there was no difference on the area of UHI defined by BT and LST. (3) The UHI intensity defined by LST was slightly higher than that was defined by BT, and the intensity value was determined by the method used.

In order to reduce or eliminate the force-fight phenomenon of single feedback loop of redundant-channels, modelling the whole control system on the basis of analysing the structure of aileron, the correctness of the model is verified by experiments. Simulation results show that set the dead band of the valve which control the feedback loop smaller is conducive to the decrease of system’s fighting-force; for every reduce in the difference of the two valves’ overlap of 0.01mm, the fighting-force decreases one time; when the driving speed is more than 50mm/s, system abstains smaller fighting-force. Therefore, the optimization of structure parameters can reduce fighting-force effectively. When the parameters of valves and driving speed is restricted, another method of using a bypass orifice to connect the two cavities of the cylinder is proposed to solve the problem, simulation results shows that fighting-force reduce 2000N for every increase in the orifice’s diameter of 0.1mm when using the fixed orifice, and using the variable orifice can abstain a small fighting-force and meanwhile reduce the wastage of hydraulic oil.

Gene selection is a key research issue in molecular cancer classification and identification of cancer biomarkers using microarray data. Support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) is a well known algorithm for this purpose. In this study, a novel gene selection algorithm is proposed to enhance the SVM-RFE method. The proposed approach is designed to use the combination of SVM-RFE and genetic algorithm (GA). The performance of the proposed model is validated on a binary and a multicategory microarray gene expression datasets. The results show that the proposed gene selection method is able to elevate the performance of SVM-RFE, which extracts much less number of informative genes and achieves highest classification accuracy.

There is a certain degree difference between the static and operation condition for the high-speed Ball-screw with Rotating Nut. Therefore, this paper establishes a dynamic model of a preload-adjustable ball-screw with rotating nut by means of lumped-parameter and analyses the effects of changeable table position and work piece mass on the first three axial modes of the free vibration. A highspeed feeding system is modelled and its nature characteristics when the feeding system is in static, low and high rotate state. The results show that, at low speed state, the dynamics of the feeding system is the same as stationary state, and in high-speed conditions, the dynamics is quite different with the static state. The natural frequencies are notably changed with the position change of the table movement. The research lays an important theoretical foundation for developing this novel feed drive system.

The characteristic stress is coincident well with the internal crack propagation in brittle rock. The characteristic stress are separately called closure stress, cracking stress, damaging stress and peak stress according to the internal crack state in loading. The propagation and damage extent in brittle rock can be reflected. Limited by loading testing equipment, the characteristic stress in confining pressure condition cannot be determined in China. In order to confirm the stress, the strain curves under different confining pressure condition are used to analysis the problem. The results show that the closure stress, cracking stress and damaging stress can be accurately confirmed by this method. The characteristic stress relates to the confining pressure, and the relationship is approximately linear.

Photoacoustic tomography is a nondestructive bio-photonic imaging method based on the differences of optical absorption within biological organization. An approach using the lens with negative refractive index and photoacoustic sensors array to make the evanescent wave involved in the imaging process was presented in this paper. A set of comparative experiments was demonstrated on the imaging effect between the ordinary lens and the lens designed in this work. The experiment showed that the imaging effect of photoacoustic tomography by the designed lens had greatly outperformed the ordinary lens. In order to illustrate the good results, according to the characteristics of ultrasonic waves produced in photoacoustic effect, the propagation properties of the acoustic waves in lens with different refractive index was discussed. On the basis of analysing evanescent decay of ordinary acoustic lens which results in the loss of high-frequency information with image details in current photo-acoustic tomography system, the diffraction limit of was broken through and the image resolution was greatly improved by the lens with negative refractive index in theory.
