This paper provided a mathematic model for Three Gorges-Gezhou dam co-scheduling problems, based on full analysis of Three Gorges-Gezhou dam's actual needs, to maximize the total throughput of Three Gorges-Gezhou dam, to maximize the utilization ratio of shiplock area and minimize the total navigation shiplock waiting time under eight constraint conditions. Then a scheduling algorithm based on GA was pointed out. The three gorges south lock, Gezhou dam lock, the three gorges north lock were optimization searched separately in the GA algorithm. The scheduling results of the three gorges south lock were taken as the origin of the whole plan period, and also were taken as the basis of the Gezhou dam scheduling together with the ship applied information. The scheduling results of Gezhou dam were regarded as the basis of the three gorges north lock scheduling together with the ship applied information, so repeated, until the optimal scheduling results were given, or the most iterative step was reached. The applied result shows that making a period plan of two dam five lock only needs 2 minutes, and the plan is quite effective according to practical application.

Combining bottom-up and top-down attention influences, a novel region extraction model which based on object-accumulated visual attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Compared with early research, the new approach brings in prior information at the proper time, updates scan path dynamically, needs less computational resources and reduces the probability to direct the attention to a less-meaning area. The application to search an airport target in remote sensing image was provided, through which the novel mechanism that how visual attention chose the area was described. Compared with another two region extraction models, experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the approach proposed in this paper.

Shuffled frog leaping (SFL) is a population based, cooperative search metaphor inspired by natural memetics. Its ability of adapting to dynamic environment makes SFL become one of the most important memetic algorithms. In order to improve the algorithm's stability and the ability to search the global optimum, a novel 'cognition component' is introduced to enhance the effectiveness of the SFL namely frog not only adjust its position according to the best individual within the memeplex or the global best of population but also according to thinking of the frog itself. To validate the improved SFL (ISFL) method, numerous simulations were conducted to compare SFL and ISFL using six benchmark problems for continuous and discrete optimization. According to the simulation results, adding the cognitive behavior to SFL significantly enhances the performance of SFL in solving the optimization problems, and the improvements are more evident with the scale of the problem increasing.

The principle of target tracking and data fusion techniques are discussed. To resolve high uncertainty that exists in sensors of mobile robots, one multi-sensor data fusion algorithm is presented. The algorithm is based on particle filter techniques, fuses the information coming from multiple sensors and merges different state space models. So it can be used to eliminate system and measurement noise and estimate value of position and headings of mobile robot. On simulation experiments, we compare different cases such as single sensors and multi-sensor data fusion, the results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this algorithm and exhibits good tracking performance.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

DNA tile self-assembly has been proved to enable programmable manipulation of biological systems as a tool of molecular computation. It is mainly based on the property that is the spontaneous self-ordering of substructure into superstructure driven by annealing of Watson-Crick base-pairing DNA sequences. We take full advantage of the superiority of DNA tile self-assembly to construct a molecular computing system that implements a solution for the 0-1 planning problem. This algorithm can independently and simultaneously yield the data pool, containing all possible solutions when all basic operation tiles are designed beforehand. Then we can use some advanced bio-chemistry techniques to select the optimization solutions of the 0-1 planning problem. Our work has shown that it is possible to work with an exponential number of components to solve NP-complete problems. The method proposed here also can reduce the number of laboratory steps required for computation so that it can improve the computation speed.

DNA tile self-assembly is a promising paradigm for nanotechnology. Recently, many researches show that computation by DNA tile self-assembly maybe scalable. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange based on DNA tile self-assembly. First we give the DNA tile self-assembly model to compute the scalar multiplication, then we can successfully implement the Diffie-Hellman key exchange over elliptic curve by extracting the result strand of the scalar multiplication.

Intensive task-oriented repetitive physical therapies provided by individualized interaction between the patient and a rehabilitation specialist can improve hand motor performance in patients survived from stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, the therapy process is long and expensive and difficult to evaluate quantitatively and objectively. The goal of this research is to develop a novel wearable device for robotic assisted hand repetitive therapy. We designed a pneumatic muscle (PM) driven therapeutic device that is wearable and provides assistive forces required for grasping and release movements. The robot has two distinct degrees of freedom at the thumb and the ringers. The embedded sensors feedback position and force information for robot control and quantitative evaluation of task performance. It has the potential of providing supplemental at-home therapy in addition to in the clinic treatment.

Most experimental and decoding algorithm studies of brain neural signals assume that neurons transmit information as a rate coding, but recent studies on the fast cortical computations indicate that temporal coding is probably a more biologically plausible scheme used by neurons. We introduce spiking neural networks (SNN) which consist of spiking neurons propagate information by the timing of spikes to analyze the cortical neural spike trains directly without temporal information lost. The SNN based temporal pattern classification is compared with the conventional artificial neural networks (ANN) based firing rate analysis. The results show that the SNN algorithm can achieve higher accuracy, which demonstrates that temporal coding is a viable code for fast neural information processing and the SNN approach is suitable for recognizing the temporal pattern in the cortical neural signals.
