This paper studies unidirectional pedestrian flow in a channel using the lattice gas model with parallel update rule. The conflict (i.e., several pedestrians intend to move to the same site) is solved by introducing probabilities as in floor field models. The fundamental diagram (FD) is investigated and it is found that when the drift strength D≲0.5, the FD is a concave curve. With the further increase in drift strength, a turning point appears on FD. The empirical findings show that both concave FD and FD with a turning point exist. Thus, the model might be able to reproduce both by tuning drift strength. It is also shown that in the special case D=1, two congested branches exist in the FD. We have carried out mean-field analysis of the FD and the mean-field results are in approximate agreement with simulations when the drift strength D is small. A comparison with random sequential update rule model is also made.

Fast facial points fitting plays an important role in applications such as Human-Computer Interaction, entertainment, surveillance, and is highly relevant to the techniques of facial expression analysis, face recognition, 3D face model generation, etc. Active Appearance Models (AAMs) are generative models commonly used to fit face. They are sensitive to illumination and expression changes because they use only raw intensity to build observation models. In this paper, a real time facial points fitting approach using mixture observation models is presented. Furthermore, the 3D modes are used to constrain the AAM so that it can only generate model instances that can also be generated with the 3D modes. Finally, we give a derivative process for fast energy minimization using the inverse compositional algorithm. A coarse-to-fine fitting strategy is used for realtime and robust facial points fitting. We apply this algorithm to facial expression cloning of 3D Avatar system. Experimental results demonstrate that fitting the AAM with mixture observation models and 3D constraint outperforms other classical algorithms.

The radiation from a power-ground planes structure in high-speed printed circuit boards due to high switching noise current is investigated in this paper. A 2D contour integral method is used to characterize the radiation from the power-ground planes. The contour integral method can model an arbitrarily shaped power-ground planes pair more efficient than 3D numerical methods. By combining the noise current source with the [Z] matrix of power-ground planes, the edge voltage and electric field are obtained. Based on the field equivalent principle, the equivalent magnetic current around the edges of power-ground planes is obtained. Thereafter, the radiated intensity is calculated by equivalent magnetic current and free-space Green function.

Annulus manual segmentation is an important tool for the study of valve anatomy and physiology, for the four main valves of the heart (mitral, tricuspid, aortic and pulmonary). In this paper we review two traditional manual segmentation approaches: slice-by-slice and interpolating a sparse set of landmarks with a spline curve. We propose a new Spline Tool for the open source software platform Seg3D, that is fast and improves spatial coherence by providing visual feedback of the segmentation in real time. The Spline Tool was tested successfully on 14 rat hearts, on all four valves.

We employ a parallel, three-dimensional level-set code to simulate the dynamics of isolated dislocation lines and loops in an obstacle-rich environment. This system serves as a convenient prototype of those in which extended, one-dimensional objects interact with obstacles and the out-of-plane motion of these objects is key to understanding their pinning-depinning behavior. In contrast to earlier models of dislocation motion, we incorporate long-ranged interactions among dislocation segments and obstacles to study the effect of climb on dislocation dynamics in the presence of misfitting penetrable obstacles/solutes, as embodied in an effective climb mobility. Our main observations are as follows. First, increasing climb mobility leads to more effective pinning by the obstacles, implying increased strengthening. Second, decreasing the range of interactions significantly reduces the effect of climb. The dependence of the critical stress on obstacle concentration and misfit strength is also explored and compared with existing models. In particular, our results are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the Friedel-Suzuki theory. Finally, the limitations inherent in the simplified model employed here, including the neglect of some lattice effects and the use of a coarse-grained climb mobility, are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to solve nonselfadjoint elliptic problems with rapidly oscillatory coefficients. A two-order and two-scale approximate solution expression for nonselfadjoint elliptic problems is considered, and the error estimation of the twoorder and two-scale approximate solution is derived. The numerical result shows that the presented approximation solution is effective.

The AAAI-10 workshop program was held on July 11-12, 2010, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. The workshop program included 13 workshops covering a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence. There were several presentations on particular formalisms for combining the levels of planning from the perspectives of classical planning, motion planning, POMDPs, search-based planning, and temporal logic-based constraints. Henry Lieberman from Massachusetts institute of Technology Media Laboratory presented work developing a platform for knowledge acquisition and usage from expert users, built upon experience with eliciting information from nonexperts in a collaborative manner. The objective of the AAAI Workshop on Goal-Directed Autonomy (GDA) was to encourage discussion and novel contributions on intelligent agents that can self-select their goals. Jeremy Baxter from QinetiQ focused on user interaction, while Nick Hawes described a goal-directed reasoning framework for controlling a mobile robot.

Local mesh refinement is one of the key steps in the implementations of adaptive finite element methods. This paper presents a parallel algorithm for distributed memory parallel computers for adaptive local refinement of tetrahedral meshes using bisection. This algorithm is used in PHG, Parallel Hierarchical Grid Chttp://lsec. cc. ac. cn/phg/), a toolbox under active development for parallel adaptive finite element solutions of partial differential equations. The algorithm proposed is characterized by allowing simukaneous refinement of submeshes to arbitrary levels before synchronization between submeshes and without the need of a central coordinator process for managing new vertices. Using the concept of canonical refinement, a simple proof of the independence of the resulting mesh on the mesh partitioning is given, which is useful in better understanding the behaviour of the biseetioning refinement procedure.
