A biomimetic underwater vehicle propelled by two undulating long-fins is introduced in this paper. The concerned vehicle is propelled by two symmetrical undulating long-fins installed on both sides. Ten servo motors are employed to drive the long-fins and cosine wave function is employed for motor control. A real-time control system is designed for controlling the long-fins by adjusting its oscillating frequency and oscillating amplitude. An inertial measurement unit is installed to collect the accelerations and angular velocity. To obtain the relationship between oscillating frequency/amplitude and swimming performance, kinematic analysis and hydromechanic analysis are given. By dividing the long-fin into many small elements and computing the hydrodynamic force acting on each element, the instantaneous thrust generated by the long-fin is obtained. Then the average thrust of the long-fin is obtained by summing up the forces acted on the elements in one undulating period. Then swimming experiments are carried out to validate the vehicle design and kinematic analysis and hydromechanic analysis. And two swimming motion modes including marching and rotating locomotion are chosen. Finally, discussions between the swimming performance and the oscillating parameters are given.

In this letter, bit error rate (BER) analysis is presented for both orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) and zero-forcing (ZF) interleaved single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems over Nakagami-m frequency-selective fading channels with arbitrary m. Specifically, the analytical BER is derived for both cases based on a general framework, that is by exploiting the statistics of the equalized noise. In comparison with the exiting alternatives, the proposed BER analysis has only half of the computational complexity for the OFDMA system and is more general for the SC-FDMA case.

As an effective method that can provide the information about the influence of inputs on the variation of output, variance based sensitivity analysis is widely used to determine the structure of neural networks. In the past, the global sensitivity analysis method for the total effect has been used for the structure learning of neural networks and various growing and pruning algorithms have been developed. In this paper, we find that neuro-fuzzy networks have the characteristics of additive models in which the first order effect index of the influence can provide the same comprehensive information as the total effect index, thus we only need to analyze the first order effects of the inputs to their output layers. Based on this observation, many low-cost effective methods for the first order effect global sensitivity can be used in for developing self-organizing neuro-fuzzy networks. Specifically, Random Balance Designs is employed here for sensitivity analysis. In addition, we also introduce the concept of systemic fluctuation of neuro-fuzzy networks to determine whether adjustment is needed for a network. This concept helps us to build a new procedure about the leaning of self-organizing neuro-fuzzy networks and to accelerate its speed of convergence in learning and organizing. Examples of simulations have demonstrated that our proposed method performs better than other existing procedures for self-organizing neuro-fuzzy networks, especially in learning of the network structure.

Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors and is a major health threat for women. The accurate segmentation of the cervical cancer is of important clinical significant for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Due to the complexity of the structure of human abdomen, the images in a single imaging modality T2-weighted MR images can not sufficiently show the precise information of the cervical cancer. In this paper, we present an automatic segmentation framework of cervical cancer, making use of the information provided by both T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance (DW-MR) images of cervical cancer. This framework consists of the following steps. Firstly, the DW-MR images are registered to T2-weighted MR images using mutual information method;then classification operation is executed in the registered DW-MR images to localize the tumor. Secondly, T2-weighted MR images are filtered by P-M nonlinear anisotropic diffusion filtering technique;and then bladder and rectum are segmented and excluded, so the Region of Interest (ROT) containing tumor is extracted. Finally, the tumor is accurately segmented by Confederative Maximum a Posterior (CMAP) algorithm combining with the results of T2-weighted MR images and DW-MR images. We tested this framework on 5 different cervical cancer patients. Compared with the results outlined manually by the experienced radiologists, it is demonstrated effectiveness of our proposed segmentation framework.

This paper introduces a vehicle detection method based on multi-scale active basis model in traffic surveillance systems. Due to the effects of perspective, vehicles which are close to the camera are larger and more detailed than the far ones on individual video frames. Using camera calibration, we get the multi-scale information of vehicles, and then we learn the multi-scale active basis model from the target training sample set by using the shared sketch algorithm. The multi-scale ABM can detect vehicles in various poses, shapes, and sizes in a whole video frame. The experiment results show that this proposed method can fit the changes of vehicle size in images.

In the recent years haptic interfaces became a reliable solution in order to solve problems which arise when humans interact with the environment. If in the research area of the haptic interaction between human and environment there are important researches, a innovative approach for the interaction between the robot and the environment using haptic interfaces and virtual projection method is presented in this paper. In order to control this interaction we used the Virtual Projection Method where haptic control interfaces of impedance and admittance will be embedded. The obtained results, validated by simulations assure stability, stiffness, high maneuverability and adaptability for rescue walking robots in order to move in disaster, dangerous and hazardous areas.

This paper addresses issues related to the development of a computational theory and corresponding methods for studying complex socioeconomic systems. We propose a novel computational framework called ACP (Artificial societies, Computational experiments, and Parallel systems), targeting at creating an effective computational theory and developing a systematic methodological framework for socioeconomic studies. The basic idea behind the ACP approach is: 1) to model the complex socioeconomic systems as artificial societies using agent techniques in a "bottom-up" fashion;2) to utilize innovative computing technologies and make computers as experimental laboratories for investigating socioeconomic problems;and 3) to achieve an effective management and control of the focal complex socioeconomic system through parallel executions between artificial and actual socioeconomic systems. An ACP-based experimental platform called MacroEconSim has been discussed, which can be used for modeling, analyzing, and experimenting on macroeconomic systems. A case study on economic inflation is also presented to illustrate the key research areas and algorithms integrated in this platform.

A docking approach for child robot suitable for marsupial robot was designed in this paper. The mother robot obtained the posture of child robot relative to the docking entrance by visual perception to instruct the child robot. In each of left, right and back sides of child robot, there was a color symbol with two colors arranged vertically. The mother robot extracted the color borderline of each symbol it observed in a way of connection growing, and then the position information of corresponding color symbol in image as well as the length ratio could be acquired to guide the motion of child robot. Finally, the child robot entered the docking station in an appropriate posture. This approach was verified by experimental results.
