    How to reduce feature dimension while maintaining categorization accuracy is a key issue of text categorization.  A new method based on information theory was proposed to solve this problem. This approach aims to eliminate sparsely distributed features and find features  useful for categorization. Working with these feature reduction methods, it could  further reduce the feature dimension. The performance of  this  proposed method was tested on benchmark text classification problems. The results showed that it could not only reduce the feature dimension to hundreds but also improve the performance.

    The human vowel system shows a remarkable universal rule. The research on human vowel system evolution and its computation is both part of a larger research effort into understanding the nature of intelligence, and an important issue in life and linguistics research areas. There is almost no literature to our knowledge in our country, whereas  research has become a hotspot abroad. First, the weakness of an existing human vowel system evolutionary model was analyzed. Then, meme theory and cultural evolution were described.Sequentially, vowel formants independent of specific language were given and synthesis function from vowel’s tongue position and lip roundness to vowel formants was constructed. Finally, a computational model blending vertical structure (inheritance) and horizontal structure (communication) for a human vowel system evolution was brought forward based on meme theory. Simulation experimental results indicated the effectiveness,   illustrated the universal and the rule of the human vowel system from both macro and micro levels.

    A biologically-inspired swarm of robots with collaboration towards a common mission has a broad range of applications. However, the required dynamic localization among autonomous robots through effective wireless communication for such swarm collaboration, though usually implicitly assumed, has not been properly addressed. In this article, we analyze the use of multiple antennas in the dynamic networking of a swarm of robots. Following the gradient of signal powers along a trajectory, a robot can track the direction of a source robot. With three or more properly placed antennas that sense different phase shifts of the carrier, a robot can localize a source. By lateration,  three collaborative robots can localize a source with known distances to it. Via angulation technique, and three robots can determine their geometric relationship with knowing two angles and one distance between them. On the basis of knowledge of robot locations, beamforming techniques can be employed to receive and transmit a signal towards the desired robot therefore improving power efficiency and prolonging robot lifetime. The techniques can be extended from 2-D to 3-D space for application of wall-climbing robots.

    In the research of medical image segmentation, it is difficult to determine the number of segmentation classes. To solve the problem, a novel measurement for determining the number of classes named mean divergence function was formed according to the relation among three common means. And then an image segmentation method based on mean divergence and simulated annealing was proposed. In this method, the mean divergence function is used as an optimization object and simulated annealing is used as an optimization method to find the optimal segmentation threshold in overall search space. This overcomes the shortcomings of fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm, such as it is hard to determine the number of classes and easy to get into a local extremum. Experimental results show that this method could automatically segment the medical image with focus, and the speed had significant improvement compared with the method based on mutual information.

     According to the features of truckload carriers′ alliance, a collaborative profit allocation game was formulated and the characteristic function of the game with its calculation method was defined. Based on analysis of the properties which the game should have, weighting factor that reflected the individual contribution difference and relative profit difference were introduced and the weighted-relative-profit-based collaborative profit allocation model was then proposed in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing  methods. Using the real-life operational data from a certain truckload carriers′ alliance, the proposed model was calculated and compared with the Shapley value and Nucleolus. Computational results and comparisons for the instance showed that the proposed model, which takes into account the interests of both the grand coalition and the individual member, was a fair and rational profit allocation method and the profit allocation derived from the proposed model satisfies all the properties including the effectiveness, basic individual rationality, extended individual rationality, basic stability and extended stability. Thus, the proposed model was able to ensure the stability of the grand coalition and the activity of the individual member.

     A Monte Carlo method was used to study the light distribution in biotissues with a collimated light beam. The track of photons propagation, the energy intensity distribution with optical parameters, the absorption energy density and internal fluence with depths and radius, the change of radially and angularly resolved diffuse reflectances were analyzed. The propagation of the Gaussian beam and circularly flat beam in biotissues was simulated by using convolution. The results showed that when a collimated light beam propagated in the tissue, the energy was mainly concentrated in the vicinity of the central axis. The photons forward movement was enhanced when the g factor was increased. When the absorption coefficient became larger, the distribution of photons was reduced along the vertical and horizontal axis. The internal fluence changed more smoothly than the absorption energy density. The energy distribution of the Gaussian beam had a larger concentration than that of a circularly flat beam, changed more rapidly and had a larger energy absorption in the center.

     A test of three reinforced concrete (RC) lining segments of fullscale was carried out. The effect of the loading method and reinforcement ratio on the failure mechanism and ultimate bearing capacity of the RC lining segments was analyzed based on the test results. Test results indicated that the cracking load, the yielding load and the ultimate load obviously increases because of the  axial force effect. The yielding load and the ultimate load slightly increase with an increase of the reinforcement ratio, but the cracking load was hardly affected by the reinforcement ratio. Based on the analysis of the failure mode of lining segment, formulas for the bearing capacity of the lining segment to eccentric compression are proposed.

    N-methyl imidazole bromide ([Bpy]Br) and 1-methyl-3-butyl imidazole bromide ([BMIm]Br) were synthesized by the respective reactions of pyridine and Nmethyl imidazole under microwave radiation in a microwave reactor. Reaction kinetics was determined by AgNO3 titration to obtain the reaction kinetics equation, and the influences of reactants, temperature, and solvent were also investigated. The mechanism of microwaveassisted reactions was proposed. Results showed that the reaction abides by SN2 mechanism, and the global reaction was of the second order. The reaction rate constant was enlarged by 10 times compared to traditional heating methods, and increased with rising temperaturing. The rate constant for synthesis of [BPy]Br in isopropanol was about 5 times larger than in nheptane. The activation energy was 30.39kJ/mol for synthesis of [BMIm]Br, and 92.17~97.27kJ/mol for synthesis of [BPy]Br. Microwave radiation could take effect by increasing reaction frequency factors instead of changing the reaction mechanism and activation energy.

    To make the high pressure(HP) stage compressor and the low pressure(LP) match with optimization and improve the efficiency of the whole two-stage turbo-charging system, the performance of a HP stage compressor was studied on a two-stage turbo-charging system test bench. In the turbo-charging system, the fresh air was first precompressed through the LP stage compressor to get the HP stage compressor′s inlet condition with high pressure & high temperature. An intercooler was set between the HP and LP stage compressors. To each test curve had the same rotation speed, and the inlet temperature of the HP stage compressor was kept unchanged. The test results showed that there was much difference between the corrected speed and actual speed of the HP stage compressor only because the increase of its inlet temperature. In order to get the preconcerted pressure ratio, the speed of the HP stage compressor should be much improved. The corrected air mass flow of HP stage compressor was much less than its measured air mass flow, which was mainly because the great increase of inlet pressure of the HP stage compressor. In order to avoid a surge of the HP stage compressor, its inlet pressure should be controlled.

    In the light of the conflict between limited memory and large-scale data, a solution to large volume concurrent data integration was proposed, which was not read the data into memory at one time, but divided the task into several sub-tasks according to the large volume data. The sub-tasks was complicated by the implementation so as to solve the limited memory and largescale conflict between the amount of data. The theoretical analysis and empirical experiments showed that resources could be used in the method of the system, and the solution could be efficiently applied in the large volume data integration process with a configurable mode.
