    The learning performance and the generalization property of support vector machines (SVMs) are greatly  influenced by the suitable setting of some parameters. The parameters selection can be transformed into an optimization problem by defining the root mean square error of a SVM prediction model as an evaluation function. A kind of improved estimation of the distribution algorithm (EDA) with a chaotic-mutation operation was proposed and used to optimize parameters of a ε-SVM including a penalty factor, an insensitive loss coefficient and a width of a Gaussian kernel function. The improved EDA could take advantage of the randomness and ergodicity of chaos, which  could  solve the local minima problem of traditional EDAs. Simulation result of the prediction of a Chebyshev chaotic time series showed that the improved EDA was an effective method of solving the problem for parameters selection of a SVM.

    Contributions on outlier detection in time series data have seldom taken into account the data cyclical nature and numerical attributes values. An algorithm to find periodic patterns under different granul arities was proposed, which could be  used to detect outliers in time series data with numerical attributes. This method could avoid a false alarm, and experimental results showed that it could not only correctly identify multi-ranule periodic patterns but also effectively detect outliers in data. Compared to outlier detection methods without periodic patterns, the results showed  that it could  reduce falsealarms.

    Semi-supervised learning methods including self-training and co-training were shown in the task of PPI on how to alleviate the tag burden as much as possible. On self training a word feature based SVM model was applied; In co-training word feature and dependency tree based SVM models were used. Experiments on four copra showed that the two methods were effective in reducing the amount of labeling PPI(protein-protein interaction). Comparing self -training to-cotraining can be more effective by using two separated views.

    In this paper, the finite time stabilization via state-feedback and adaptive technique was investigated for a class of first-order nonlinear systems with unknown control direction. Using the Nussbaum gain method, an adaptive state-feedback controller is successfully constructed, which guarantees the global stability of the closed-loop system, and the global finite time stability of the original system state (This was rigorously proven with the help of the celebrated L'Hospital’s Rule). A simulation example was provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

     (La0.8Sr0.2)0.9MnO3-δ (LSM) powders were successfully synthesized via a gel-casting technique and traditional solid state reaction method by using oxide and carbon as raw materials. The perovskite phase formation temperature of LSM powders synthesized by the gel-casting technique was about 850℃, which is nearly 150℃ lower than that of LSM powders synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction route. The significantly reduced phase formation temperature of the gel-casting LSM powder was most likely due to the homogeneously distributed and immobilized precursor particles in a polymeric network, which promoted the sintering and crystallization process. Furthermore, the electrochemical catalytic performance of LSM electrodes prepared by LSM powders synthesized gel-casting technique and sintered at different temperature was also investigated in detail.

    The metastable property of glasslike dynamics at low temperature of Gd5Ge4 was presented in contrast to the stable frozen spin glass state in cobaltite La0.88Sr0.12CoO3(LSCO). Through investigating the effect of temperature cycle on magnetization at the low temperature region after the zero field cooled procedure ofGd5Ge4andLa0.88Sr0.12CoO3respectively, it was found that the magnetization continues to increase with increasing the temperature cycle in Gd5Ge4, while there was hardly any effect on magnetization inLa0.88Sr0.12CoO3. The dc magnetization and ac susceptibility were also measured on Gd5Ge4 and La0.88Sr0.12CoO3. The peaks of ac susceptibility in Gd5Ge4 did not move to the higher temperature region with increasing frequency, which were different from the phenomena of La0.88Sr0.12CoO3. This kind of magnetic glass state in Gd5Ge4 is quite different from conventional spin glass.

    The influences of the mass concentration of zinc oxide(the main film-forming substance) in the phosphating bath on the microstructure and properties of the phosphate coating on AZ61 magnesium alloy were studied. The structure, surface morphologies and compositions of the phosphate coatings were observed and analyzed by using a metallographical microscope,SEM and EDS. Anodic polarization measurement was used to assess the corrosion resistance of the phosphate coating on the magnesium alloy. The results indicated that the phosphate coating obtained from a phosphating bath with a lower concentration of ZnO was a loose and defected structure, without exhibiting enough corrosion resistance. The phosphate coating obtained from a phosphating bath with a higher mass concentration of ZnO is composed of coarse crystals and the thickness of the coating was  uneven,  showing poor corrosion resistance. The uniform and intact phosphate coating which was obtained from a phosphating bath with a medium mass concentration of 2.0g/L ZnO showed high corrosion resistance in a 3.5% NaCl solution.

    During tunnel construction in the mountains of southwest China, karst and unfavorable geological conditions often occur. Tunnel construction often encounters unforeseen disasters, such as water inrush, bursting mud, and collapse which cause great hidden troubles to safety. Taking the Wuchiba Tunnel as an example, through applying the supplement geology survey and geology analysis, the karst development was discussed. In the risk evaluation of dangerous parts along the tunnel, the factors such as formation lithology, geological structure, underground water level, and the forecasted discharge were synthetically considered. The risk evaluation system with 4 ranks about karst tunnels was put forth. Based on the risk rank, the advanced forecasting program was designed for the different parts with different ranks, and the disaster prevention measures can be made with the predictable results. The study has great significance for disaster prevention of karst tunnels.

    The circumferential inflow air on the bottom of a natural draft wet-cooling tower were studied under windless and crosswind conditions. The entire research was conducted in a closed lab with a thermal state cooling tower model. The research showed that the circumferential inlet wind was wellproportioned and axisymmetric under windless conditions, that is, the heat and mass transfer performance through fillings zone was also axisymmetric. The axisymmetric distribution  of circumferential inlet wind velocity was destroyed under crosswind conditions.This phenomenon was very obvious when environmental crosswind velocity was more than 0.2m/s. When the environmental wind velocity was about 0.5m/s, the circumferential inlet wind velocity in windward sidewas about 1.875 times the windless conditions, while the circumferential inlet windvelocity in leeward side was about 0.3 times the windless conditions. Thus, the environmental crosswind affected the airflow rate entering into the cooling tower, and then deteriorated the heat and mass transfer performance.
