The aim of this study is to assess the functional connectivity from resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Spectral clustering algorithm was applied to the realistic and real fMRI data acquired from a resting healthy subject to find functionally connected brain regions. In order to make computation of the spectral decompositions of the entire brain volume feasible, the similarity matrix has been sparsified with the t-nearest-neighbor approach. Realistic data were created to investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm and comparing it to the recently proposed spectral clustering algorithm with the Nystrom approximation and also with some well-known algorithms such as the Cross Correlation Analysis (CCA) and the spatial Independent Component Analysis (sICA). To enhance the performance of the methods, a variety of data pre and post processing steps, including data normalization, outlier removal, dimensionality reduction by using wavelet coefficients, estimation of number of clusters and optimal number of independent components (ICs). Results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm for functional connectivity analysis.

Roadmap methods were widely used in route planning fields, both for robots and unmanned aircrafts. Traditional roadmap is constituted by connecting the vertexes of convex obstacle, which is related to the locations of start and goal of route, so the roadmap can not be reused when anyone of start and goal changed. Absence of reusability reduces the efficiency of route planning by using roadmap. A new roadmap constitution method was proposed in this paper, which is build on dividing the 2D configuration space into multi-scale grids and setting nodes of roadmap on grid boundary using Level-Set method, same method was used to construct the map cells of roadmap between any two nodes lays on same grid. The roadmap constituted with new method can be reused when the start or goal was changed; it is efficient for replanning problem.

Shuffle operation on trajectories is useful in modeling parallel composition of words and languages. In this work, a new class of P systems with shuffle operation is presented. Such a system has language-objects and shuffle-operation rules in its regions. It can be used as a language generator; specifically it is used to generate languages from sets of languages. Some comparison results are obtained, which show that the power of shuffle operation is enlarged in the framework of P systems.

To drive a single joint of rehabilitation robotic arm, we propose a new PM-TS actuator comprising a Pneumatic Muscle (PM) and a Torsion Spring (TS). Unlike the traditional agonist/antagonist PM actuator, the PM is arranged in appropriate place as agonist and the torsion spring provides opposing torque as antagonist in the proposed actuator. The 1-DOF and 2-DOF rehabilitation robotic arm models are derived considering the PM-TS dynamic model. To realize a high-accurate trajectory tracking control of the robotic arms, an intelligent PID controller based on an Echo State Neural Network (ESN) is proposed, where the ESN state is updated by the online Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of PM-TS actuators. The performance of RLS-ESN based PID controller is found more satisfactory than conventional PID controller in our study.

Randić et al. proposed a famous spectral graphical representation of DNA sequences, and claimed that it avoids loss of information. In this paper we build two mathematical models for this graphical representation and prove that the claim is correct, and that it also avoids degeneracy. Moreover, we propose a new method to do similarity analysis of DNA sequences based on the spectral representation. The method adopts M value to characterize a graphical representation and uses 24-component vector as descriptor. The approach is illustrated on the complete coding sequence of beta-globin genes from 7 different species.

Randić et al. proposed a significant graphical representation for DNA sequences, which is very compact and avoids loss of information. In this paper, we build a fast algorithm for this graphical representation with time complexity O(n 2 ), and find another important advantage in the representation: no degeneracy. Moreover, we propose a new method to do similarity analysis of DNA sequences based on the representation. The approach adopts four elements of covariance matrix as a descriptor, and is illustrated on the first exon of beta-globin genes from 11 different species.

Conventional pulse compression use a periodical echo of single receive antenna, which is modulated by a certain carrier-frequency, in other words, single spectrum is exploited. But for MIMO radar, as the multi-carrier-frequency signals are transmitted simultaneously, if the spectrum of the target echo after channel separation can be combined to form the whole band spectrum echo, the corresponding range resolution can improve several times as compared with the conventional method, and it will be more convenient for follow-up detection and tracking. Considering the difference between the frequency modulation band and the interval between the adjacent frequencies, the spectrum joint after channel separation will be overlapped or spaced. The methods of spectrum moving of each echo and the spectrum extrapolation with Root-MUSIC algorithm are proposed, by which high-resolution range profile of the target is obtained. Simulation results verify the validity of these methods.

To achieve better performance with various load and system parameters in controlling a current-source rectifier (CSR) with less computing cost, a neural-network-based implementation of three-logic space-vector modulation (SVM) is proposed in this research, and the random weight change (RWC)algorithm is employed for on-line parameter tuning. The scheme has been simulated in SABER simulation software and the result is compared with the conventional SVM method. The advantage of the method is explicit with a better performance under a non-rated system load.
