Hybrid Open-Close Loop FGS Coding Framework Based on Key Reference Frame
YIE Xiaotong, DENG Yun, CAI Lecai
2009, 22(4): 484-489.
Abstract:
A novel fine granularity scalability coding framework with hybrid open-close loop structures based on key reference pictures was proposed.In the framework,the open-loop structure with one prediction loop is adopted to code non-key frames to achieve the best coding efficiency;some key frames exploiting the close-loop structure with two prediction loops are periodically inserted to control drift caused by the open-loop structure.To optimally exploit the bandwidth,an optimized bit-stream extraction method was proposed to give more priority to the enhancement layer of key frames than that of non-key frames.Simulation results show that the proposed framework outperforms AR-FGS(FGS with adaptive reference) in JVT SVC(joint video team scalable video coding) by about 1 to 2 dB in a very wide rang of bit rate.

HU Xuegang, CAO Yongzhao, WU Gongqing
2009, 22(4): 490-494.
Abstract:
In order to enhance the quality of data stream clustering towards noisy and unbalanced data,an effective twice-clustering algorithm for data streams,TCLUSA for short,was proposed.TCLUSA is based on the simple divide-and-conquer and separability theorems,uses DBSCAN(density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) to get the average point of each cluster as its local result,and then achieves the final result by clustering all the average points using the k-means.The algorithm keeps all the average points by a layered structure.The theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can enhance clustering quality efficiently when data distribution is abnormal or a high dimensional data stream is dealt with.

TAN Wei, ZHANG Xuemin, SHEN Chen
2009, 22(4): 507-512.
Abstract:
In order to forecast the unstable modes of an electric power system,a new generator coherency identification approach was proposed by analyzing the state matrix of the system in unstable state.In this method,the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the state matrix are calculated to forecast the dominant unstable mode of the system and identify groups of coherent generators.The stability margin of the system is calculated by extended equal-area criterion.Through sensitivity analysis,generator tripping locations and ratios are searched to produce the optimal emergency generator tripping control strategy.Simulation results on the revised IEEE-39 bus system were provided to verify the proposed method.The results show that the proposed generator coherency identification algorithm is effective,and that the generator tripping control strategy based on sensitivity analysis can successfully prevent the system from transient instability.

2009, 22(4): 530-534,563.
Abstract:
In order to improve the performance of MOPSO(multi-objective particle swarm optimization) algorithm for solving multiple objective problems,decrease the calculation complexity and ameliorate the convergence of this algorithm,a modified MOPSO algorithm was proposed.In this modified algorithm,the extended dominance(E-dominance) method is used to confirm the preference among all solutions and determine the best global position of current generation particles randomly.The modified algorithm considers the convergence and diversity of solutions.In addition,an exterior population file is utilized to preserve the elitist solutions and a non-linear function is used to map the objective space into a finite domain where the preference and distribution of the solutions are considered.Series of classical testing problems were investigated numerically.The simulation results show that this modified MOPSO algorithm surpasses the initial MOPSO and NSGA2(non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms 2) algorithms in the calculation complexity and the convergence when a multi-objective optimization problem possesses over three objectives.

Abstract:
To study the shifting progress of driver’s attention under high driving load,a probability model for driver’s attention state during a short period and a approximate solution algorithm were presented based on the Markov process theory.This model is not directly applicable to a long period because it does not meet the homogeneous requirement at driving state transition points,This problem could be solved by cutting the long period into small fractions.Practical data were used for simulation,and the result shows that the overall error of the model was 2.83%.

L? Jianpin, ZHANG Jiwen, LIAO Jianzhou, HU Weinan, TU Yongming
2009, 22(4): 547-551.
Abstract:
A finite element model for noise barriers of the existing railway bridges was built by using an SAP2000(structural analysis programme) software.In this model,the connections between stop plank and H-type steel columns are simulated using displacement springs and rotation springs.The dynamic responses of noise barriers for three types of railway bridges with a span of 16,24 or 32 m were analyzed by considering both multiple support excitation and uniform excitation.The distribution characteristics of displacement amplitude,bending moment amplitude and dynamic magnification coefficient of noise barriers were investigated.The research results show that the factor of traveling-wave effect of noise barriers are below 1 for the three types of railway bridges.The maximum displacement of the columns and the bending moment of the cantilever beam decrease with the increase of bridge span.The maximum displacement of the columns for a 16 m span bridge reaches 15.5 mm due to the deficient stiffness of its cantilever beam.

2009, 22(4): 552-557.
Abstract:
Finite element models for the catenary and the double pantographs were derived.The latter was simplified as a multi-lumped-mass system.The two models was coupled by contact elements to form a pantograph-catenary system model,and its dynamic equilibrium equations were presented.The parameters in the pantograph-catenary system model were calculated with the time integration method.The results show that the rear pantograph has a little influence on the current collection performance of the front pantograph,and the front pantograph has an obvious impact on the rear pantograph.The space between the two pantographs has not obvious effect on uplift and contact force of the front pantograph,and has obvious impact on those of the rear pantograph.The current collection performance of the rear pantograph is the worst when the space between the two pantographs is 90 or 150 m,and the preferable space is 200 or 210 m.

ZHANG Jing, WANG Zhenling, QIAN Yongjiu
2009, 22(4): 564-568.
Abstract:
Two models of arch ring were made to research the bearing behaviors of new-to-old concrete interface in arch bridge strengthening.Destructive experiments were carried out on the two models to investigate their failure characteristics and service behaviors and the distributions of stress and strain on new-to-old concrete interface.The experimental result shows that the shear-bearing capacity of the interface is given by the bond of new and old concrete without embedded steel bars at the early stage of loading.When shear stress increases to the bond shear strength of new and old concrete,the shear-bearing capacity of the interface is mainly given by embedded steel bars.The distribution of bond shear stress on the interface is different in different regions at the stage from yielding of longitudinal reinforcement to the failure of specimens.At the stage,the bond shear stress decreases linearly in the region near cradks,does not change in the region away from cracks and increases linearly in the region away far from cracks.

2009, 22(4): 569-573.
Abstract:
Based on the geological characteristics of deep river valleys,factors inflencing in-situ stress fields were analyzed.It was strongly believed that valley development is an important factor affecting in-situ stress fields besides self-weight and geological structures.An in-situ stress field was simulated by the multi-regression method and thought to be the sum of a self-weight stress field affected by river valley development and a tectonic stress field.The research result shows that the regressed stresses considering the development and evolution of a deep river valley by steps are close to the measured ones,and the regressed stress field characterizes a relaxation at the shallow surface of a deep river valley and a concentration at its bottom.

2009, 22(4): 580-584.
Abstract:
The landslip process and law of loose slopes under seismic loading were investigated by using PFC2D(particle flow code in two dimensions) based on the discrete element method.In the numerical simulation,the effect of seismic intensity on the landslip of loose slopes was analyzed by changing the angle of underside due to pseudo-static method,and the numerical simulation results were compared with the exsiting centrifugal test ones.The research results show that the landslip law of loose slopes can be analyzed effectively by a particle flow code model.Under seismic intensities of 5,6 to 7 or 8 degree,landslip scale is respectively about 5%,18% and 45%,and departure from the critical slope is less than 1.0°,1.0° to 2.0° and about 10°,respectively.The numerical simulation results are consistent with the exsiting centrifuge experimental ones.The research provides a reference for the aseismatic design of loose slopes and the evaluation of river and road barrage.

2009, 22(4): 590-594.
Abstract:
The soil respiration(SR) of three typical forest ecosystems,which were Chinese fir,broadleaf evergreen and Phyllostachys pubescens,were measured by the infrared system(LI-8100) in situ in West Tianmu Mountain of Chinese subtropical area,to study the relationship between the fluxes of CO2 released from this soil carbon pool and the change of the regional climatic environment.The results indicated that the diurnal soil respiration in the three stands almost varied in a single-peaked pattern.Among the three stands,the annual average CO2 efflux rate of Phyllostachys pubscens(3.82 μmo l/(m2·s)) was the greatest,that of broadleaf evergreen(2.23 μmo l/(m2·s))was the lowest,and that of Chinese fir(2.35 μmo l/(m2·s))was in between them.Generally,soil respiration rate increased with soil temperature.In summer(August),the CO2 effluxes of the three stands rose to the maximum,but dropped greatly in winter(November).Soil moisture was in a negative linear correlation with SR,and together with soil temperature,had mutual effects on SR.In conclusion,the environmental factors interacted with each other and influenced the process of SR.

2009, 22(4): 600-603,619.
Abstract:
A prototype device of an implantable biofuel cell(BFC) that utilizes body fluid was developed,and experiments in vitro were carried out for the implantable BFC in a simulated physiological environment of human body,to investigate the influences of the concentration,temperature,and pH value of glucose solution on the electric current output of the BFC prototype device.The experimental results show that as the concentration of glucose solution decreased,the electric current output of the BFC decreased,and the sustaining time of power supply of the BFC shortened.On the other hand,the electric current increased with the decrease of the pH value of the glucose solution.Lifting the temperature of the reaction solution would cause oscillation to occur to the current output of the BFC.
