    Traditional training algorithms for radial basis function (RBF) neural networks mostly start with a predetermined hidden layer structure which is selected either by using a priori knowledge or based on previous experience. The parameters of RBF networks are trained by using traditional clustering and least squares method. These training algorithms are always based on local search method and often suffered from being trapped at structural local minima. In this paper a new method of training RBF structural parameters by using genetic algorithm which incorporates a new clustering method named sorting MSS (most scattered set ) clustering method and traditional least square method is put forward. This method not only prevents the result of network from being trapped at local minima but also the computational efficiency was highly improved. The results are satisfied through applying this algorithm for the traffic flow forecasting.

    This paper concerns the reliable guaranteed cost control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear discrete-time systems with state delay and actuator failures. The problem is to design a memoryless state feedback reliable guaranteed control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, the sufficient conditions for the existence of such controller are derived. The optimal reliable guaranteed cost controllers with minimum guaranteed cost for closed-loop systems are designed based on the solution of a convex problem in terms of LMIs. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.

    Abstract: The structure of elastic tube bundles and the fluid inside constitute a typical fluid-structure interaction system. The governing vibration equation of the system is derived with the displacement-pressure format and the finite element models are built by considering the compressibility of fluid. Natural frequencies and modal shapes of the structure, the fluid inside and the structure-fluid system are calculated separately. The results show that not only the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the original structure and fluid are changed due to the interaction between fluid and structure, but also one subsystem is enforced to vibrate in a particular pattern corresponding to the vibration of the other subsystem. The effects of different fluid on the structure are also different. The influence of fluid-structure interaction must be taken into account when the dynamic response of elastic tube bundles is studied.

    In this paper, a novel kind of content feature is proposed to be extracted by independent component analysis (ICA), and used for face image retrieval. So a novel content-based face image retrieval scheme is created based on this content feature—principle independent content feature (PICF). In this scheme, PICF based on higher order statistics is firstly extracted in the reduced space for effective representation of face images, and a PICF-based similarity measurement is proposed in the face image retrieval stage to ensure the efficiency of computation and the accuracy of retrieval and to eliminate the ambiguity in the order of independent features. Using the ORL database, where the images vary in illumination, expression, pose, and scale, performs the proposed retrieval procedure. The simulation proves the feasibility of the proposed PICF-based method and the best accuracy can reach 100%, or the average precision can reach 95.14% per thousand experiments in our simulations.

    Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has been widely used in speech signal processing performance. We will investigate the application of ICA to speech feature extraction. Normally the ICA algorithm is applied in the logarithm Mel-scaled filter bank domain to replace the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is applied to obtaining Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). In this paper, we will propose a novel 2-D ICA algorithm, with which one can explore the spectral and temporal information of speech signals, and improve the effectiveness and noise robustness of speech features. The evaluation is presented for GMM-based speaker recognition task. The experiment results show the proposed 2-D features provide better performance than normal 1-D features.

    To investigate the characteristics of fine particle matter and long–range air masses transport in Jinan, PM2.5 samples were collected every two days from November 2004 to September 2005. The major water-soluble ions and pH values of PM2.5 samples were analyzed. Concentrations of PM2.5 in Jinan exceed standard 93.6% of the time.SO42-, NO3- and NH4+ were the dominant ionic species in PM2.5, accounting for 20.88%, 10.94% and 12.01% of PM2.5 mass respectively. In the aerosol system, NH4+, SO42- and NO3- are assumed to exist as (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3 mainly. PM2.5 in Jinan was slightly acid compared with the blank. Use of a back trajectory model together with K-means cluster analysis shows that the occurrences of high concentrations of PM2.5 in Jinan have good relationship with air masses originating in northwest of Jinan ( Russia, Mongolia, north of China) and traveling at low speed.

    This work studies the problem of control design for linear systems with input saturation. It is well known that integral quadratic constraints (IQC) can be used to describe input saturation and that the use of IQC in analysis can lead to less conservative performance bound and larger domain of attraction. In this work, it is shown that a class of commonly used IQCs may not help in control synthesis. That is, the use of these IQCs does not enlarge the guaranteed domain of performance for synthesis.

To ensure the efficiency of computation and accuracy of retrieval, a PICF-based retrieval method that can eliminate the ambiguity in the order of independent features is used in the face image retrieval stage with the ORL database, where the images vary in illumination, expression, pose, and scale. The simulation proves the feasibility of the proposed PICF-based method and the highest  accuracy can reach 100%, and  the average precision  reaches 95.14% per thousand experiments in our simulations.

    Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has been widely used in speech signal processing performance. The application of ICA to speech feature extraction is investigated. Normally the ICA algorithm is applied in the logarithm Mel-scaled filter bank domain to replace the discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is applied to obtain Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). A novel 2-D ICA algorithm is proposed, with which one can explore the spectral and temporal information of speech signals, and improve the effectiveness and noise robustness of speech features. The evaluation is presented for GMM-based speaker recognition task. The experimental results show that the proposed 2-D features provide  better performance than normal 1-D features.

    Asphalt overlay is one of the effective methods, which can rebuild the used cement concrete pavement.  The calculating method was given based on  theory analysis. The design standard was presented using the following parameters based on the damage phenomenon: the flexural-tensile stress, the difference of cement concrete pavement joint and the shear stress of asphalt pavement on joint. Meanwhile two pavement structure types were presented, which were treated with subbase layer in order to consolidate the pavement and were graded with crushed stone layer in order to delay the reflective crack. Finally, the using qualification, design parameters and calculating method were given.

    To investigate the characteristics of the fine particle matter and the long-range air masses transport in Jinan, PM2.5 samples were collected every two days from November 2004 to September 2005. The major water-soluble ions and pH values of PM2.5 samples were analyzed. Concentrations of PM2.5 in Jinan exceed 93.6%. SO2-4, NO-3 and NH+4 are the dominant ionic species in PM2.5, respectively accounting for 20.88%, 10.94% and 12.01% of PM2.5 mass. In the aerosol system, NH+4, SO2-4 and NO-3 are assumed to mainly exist as (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3 . PM2.5 in Jinan is slightly acid compared with the blank. It is shown that the occurrences of high concentrations of PM2.5 in Jinan have good relationship with the air masses originating from the northwest of Jinan (Russia, Mongolia, north of China) and traveling at low speed.

    The interference in TOC determination of wastewater was basically solved  by use of the conception of normalization method in sample treatment, such as suspended solids, coexistence ions (sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, sulfur, etc.), high levels of inorganic carbon (IC), high alkali and highsalt. The determination of TOC in wastewater is normalized. Also  the correlation between TOC and CODCr in  water in Shandong Province was studied. For example, the wastewater of paper making, breweries, dyeing, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, starch, MSG, rubber, chemicals, coke, power plant, sewage treatment plant and surface water, and drinking water. It  proves that TOC has a very good correlation with CODCr under the condition of normalization and restricted determination zone. It  also founds  a new method of COD determination by interpolation of the TOC coefficient method.
