We propose an adaptive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted object recognition algorithm for urban surveillance scenarios. For UAV-assisted surveillance, UAVs are equipped with learning-based object recognition models and can collect surveillance image data. However, owing to the limitations of UAVs regarding power and computational resources, adaptive control must be performed accordingly. Therefore, we introduce a self-adaptive control strategy to maximize the time-averaged recognition performance subject to stability through a formulation based on Lyapunov optimization. Results from performance evaluations on real-world data demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves the desired performance improvements.

Physiologically active material ${\beta}$-glucan extracted from mushroom has an antitumor effect. Agaricus blazei murill(A blazel) fruiting bodies were reported to contain large amounts of ${\beta}$-glucan. The purpose of this study was to maximize ${\beta}$-glucn extraction from A. blazei by microwave assisted extraction method. Optimal extraction conditions were obtained under various extraction time and applied power which was examined as 200, 500 and 650 watt. The structure and concentrations of the raffinates were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR) and infrared spectroscopy(IR) It was proved that the extraction yield of microwave assisted extraction method was higher than that of conventional solvent extraction method. It was also observed that microwave assisted extraction method requires less amounts of solvents and extraction time compared to the conventional solvent extraction method.

Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of grape seeds was performed under the different conditions based on a central composite design for independent variables of microwave power ($0{\sim}120\;W$), ethanol concentration ($0{\sim}100%$) and extraction time ($1{\sim}5\;min$). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to predict the optimum extraction conditions for three dependent variables in grape seed extracts: total yield, total catechin and electron donating ability. Determination coefficients ($R^2$) of regression equations for the three dependent variables were higher than 0.9 (p < 0.01). The optimal MAE conditions to yield the maximum value of total catechin (434.16 mg%) were 122.76 W microwave power, 42.88% ethanol and 4.67 min extraction time. The superimposed contour maps for maximizing the three dependent variables indicated that the MAE condition ranges were 75150 W, 4060% ethanol and 3.55.0 min. The predicted values at the optimized conditions (6.72% total yield, 408.65 mg% total catechin, and 83.33% electron donation ability) were similar to the experimental values. The optimized MAE (112.5 W, 50% EtOH, 4.2 min) was more efficient than the conventional solvent extraction using 80% EtOH, $60^{\circ}C$ for 3h and 150 rpm.

Through the application of a microwave-assisted extraction, the aim of study was to investigate the extraction conditions for the total yield, electron donating ability, total polyphenol contents and nitrite scavenging effect from Pleurotus eryngii. This experiment was conducted under the following extraction conditions: the microwave power (60, 90, 120 W), sample to solvent ratio (1:50, 1:20, 1:10), extraction time (1, 5, 10, 15 mins), and extractant like water, $50\%$ EtOH and $99\%$ EtOH. During the increase of microwave power ranging from 60 to 120 W, the maximized effective components were obtained when the microwave power was set at 60 W. By decreasing the ratio down to 1:10 (g/mL), the extraction of effective components but not total yield was the highest at 1:10 (g/mL). As going up to 15 min, the maximum extraction of effective components was achieved at 1 min for the extraction time and was little affected at over 5 min. In conclusion, the most appropriate conditions for the extraction of effective compounds from Pleurotus eryngii were as follows: the microwave power at 60 W, 1:10 of the sample to solvent ratio, extraction time at 1 min and water as the extractant.

This model is flexible to accommodate different vehicles through simple parameter changes. The developed mathematical model will attempt to provide enhanced driver realism to a Systems Technology, Inc. driving SIMulator(STISIM).

Flow rate of the power steering oil pump is affected by oil temperature, engine rpm and pressure of pump. In this paper, considering those conditions, approximate model expressed by flow rate characteristics between hydraulic power steering oil pump and steering gear is proposed. Oil pump displacement is considered to be 9.6cc/rev. which is adapted to mid size car. Flow rate of the oil pump is predicted from the proposed model and compared with experimental data. And catch-up is also predicted in each steering wheel speed and is compared with experimental results.

A single active capacitor snubber-assisted soft-switching sinewave pulse modulation utility-interactive power conditioner with a three-winding flyback high frequency transformer link and a bidirectional active power switch in its secondary side has been proposed. With the aid of the switched-capacitor quasi-resonant snubber cell, the high frequency switching devices in the primary side of the proposed DC-to-AC sinewave power inverter can be turned-off with ZVS commutation. In addition to this, the proposed power conditioner in the DCM can effectively take the advantages of ZCS turn-on commutation. Its output port is connected directly to the utility AC power source grid. At the end, the prototype of the proposed HF-UPC is built and tested in experiment. Its power conversion conditioning and processing circuit with a high frequency flyback transformer link is verified and the output sinewave current is qualified in accordance with the power quality guidelines of the utility AC interactive power systems.

This paper investigates optimal relay selection and power allocation under an aggregate power constraint for cooperative wireless sensor networks assisted by amplify-and-forward relay nodes. By considering both transmission power and circuit power consumptions, the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination node is calculated, based on which, a relay selection and power allocation scheme is developed. The core idea is to adaptively adjust the selected relays and their transmission power to maximize the received SNR according to the channel state information. The proposed scheme is derived by recasting the optimization problem into a three-layered problem-determining the number of relays to be activated, selecting the active relays, and performing power allocation among the selected relays. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a higher received SNR and a lower bit error rate as compared to the average power allocation scheme.
