This paper proposed a novel Region of Interest (ROI) based rate control algorithm for video communication systems, in which the subjective quality of ROI can be adjusted according to users' requirements. In the proposed scheme, in order to analyze the relationship between subjective quality and encoding parameters, a structural similarity index map - quantization parameter (SSIM-QP) model is established. Through this relation, the possible visual quality range of ROI is defined according to the range of ROI QP, which is predicted by rate control algorithm. Then, with interest levels being identified within the visual quality range, resources allocated to ROI is determined. Finally, considering both the quality of ROI and the entire frame, resource allocation is slightly adjusted. Experimental results demonstrate that the subjective visual quality of ROI in our proposed scheme can be adjustable improved compared to the existing rate control algorithms.

The vehicle routing problem with simultaneous delivery and pickup (VRPSDP) is studied under capacity constraint and maximum distance constraint;and the mixed integer programming model is built. To deal with the fluctuation in vehicle load, we propose an ant colony system (ACS) approach by combining the pheromone updating strategy of rank-based version of the ant system (ASRank) with the MAX-MIN ant system (MMAS). A heuristic factor based on the residual loading capacity is also designed to improve the vehicle loading rate. Additionally, a local search strategy of node-exchange is used in the process of tour improvement to accelerate the searching. Finally, numerical results show that the algorithm provides the desirable solution with high convergence rate.

Searching and mining biomedical literature database, such as MEDLINE, is the main source of generating scientific hypothesis for biomedical researchers. Through grouping similar documents together, clustering techniques can facilitate user's need of effectively finding interested documents. Since non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) can effectively capture the latent semantic space with non-negative factorization in both the basis and the weight, it has been utilized to clustering general text documents. Considering the stochastic nature of NMF with respect to initialization, we propose to use ensemble NMF for biomedical document clustering. The performance of ensemble NMF was evaluated on clustering a large number of datasets generated from TREC Genomics track dataset. The experimental results show that our method outperforms classical clustering algorithms bisect k-means, k-means and hierarchical clustering significantly in most of the datasets.

The essential characteristic of DNA computation is its massive parallelism in obtaining and managing information. With the develop- ment of molecular biology technique, the eld of DNA computation has made a great progress. By using an advanced biochip technique, laboratory-on-a-chip, a new DNA computing model is presented in the paper to solve a simple timetabling problem, which is a special ver- sion of the optimization problems. It also plays an important role in education and other industries. With a simulated biological experiment, the result suggested that DNA computation with lab-on-a-chip has the potential to solve a real complex timetabling problem.

To preserve the sharp features and details of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image effectively when despeckling, a despeckling algorithm with edge detection in nonsubsampled second generation bandelet transform (NSBT) domain is proposed. First, the Canny operator is utilized to detect and remove edges from the SAR image. Then the NSBT which has an optimal approximation to the edges of images and a hard thresholding rule are used to approximate the details while despeckling the edge-removed image. Finally, the removed edges are added to the reconstructed image. As the edges are detected and protected, and the NSBT is used, the proposed algorithm reaches the state-of-the-art effect which realizes both despeckling and preserving edges and details simultaneously. Experimental results show that both the subjective visual effect and the mainly objective performance indexes of the proposed algorithm outperform that of both Bayesian wavelet shrinkage with edge detection and Bayesian least square-Ganssian scale mixture (BLS-GSM).

This paper studies the reverse logistics vehicle routing problem of simultaneous distribution of commodities and collection of reusable ones the same size as the initial state with a single depot and a homogeneous fleet of vehicles with limited capacities and maximum distance, and constructs a mixed integer programming model. To solve this problem, an Ant Colony System (ACS) approach combining with the pheromone updating strategy of ASRank (Rank-based Version of Ant System) and MMAS (MAX-MIN Ant System) is proposed. A new heuristic factor is designed to improve the vehicle loading ability as well as the vehicle distance, and the initial vehicle load is designed to be a random value correlated to the delivery and pick-up demand of the rest customers on the path. The experimental study indicates that the approach could improve the vehicle load rate and get rid of the additional total distance caused by the fluctuating vehicle load and the limited capacity. It could obtain the satisfied solution with high convergence speed in the acceptable time.
