In this paper two protocols of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are examined through both a simulation and a case study. The simulation was performed with the optimized network (OPNET) simulator while comparing the performance of the Ad-Hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) and the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols. This is compared and shown with real-world measurement of deflection from eight wireless sensor nodes. The wireless sensor response results were compared with accelerometer sensors for validation purposes. It was found that although the computer simulation suggests the AODV protocol is more accurate, in the case study no distinct difference was found. However, it was shown that AODV is still more beneficial in the field as it has a longer battery life enabling longer surveying times. This is a significant finding as a large factor in determining the use of wireless network sensors as a method of assessing structural response has been their short battery life. Thus if protocols which enhance battery life, such as the AODV protocol, are employed it may be possible in the future to couple wireless networks with solar power extending their monitoring periods.

By operating on many part of a software system concurrently, the parallel processing computers may provide several orders of magnitude more computing power than traditional serial computers. If the Lagrangean approximation procedure is applied to a large scale manufacturing problem which is decomposable into many subproblems, the procedure is a perfect candidate for parallel processing. By distributing Lagrangean subproblems for given multiplier to multiple processors, concurrently running processors and modifying Lagrangean multipliers at the end of each iteration of a subgradient method,a parallel processing of a Lagrangean approximation procedure may provide a significant speedup. This purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of the parallelized Lagrangean approximation procedure (PLAP) for certain combinational optimization problems in manufacturing systems. The framework of a Plap is proposed for some combinatorial manufacturing problems which are decomposable into well-structured subproblems. The synchronous PLAP for the multistage dynamic lot-sizing problem is implemented on a parallel computer Alliant FX/4 and its computational experience is reported as a promising application of vector-concurrent computing.

The paper deals with lightlike hypersurfaces which are locally symmetric, semi-symmetric and Ricci semi-symmetric in indefinite Kenmotsu manifold having constant $\bar{\phi}$-holomorphic sectional curvature c. We obtain that these hypersurfaces are totally goedesic under certain conditions. The non-existence condition of locally symmetric lightlike hyper-surfaces are given. Some Theorems of specific lightlike hypersurfaces are established. We prove, under a certain condition, that in lightlike hyper-surfaces of an indefinite Kenmotsu space form, tangent to the structure vector field, the parallel, semi-parallel, local symmetry, semi-symmetry and Ricci semi-symmetry notions are equivalent.

We propose a bicycle detection system riding on people based on modified projected local binary pattern(PLBP) for vision based intelligent vehicles. Projection method has robustness for rotation invariant and reducing dimensionality for original image. The features of Local binary pattern(LBP) are fast to compute and simple to implement for object recognition and texture classification area. Moreover, We use uniform pattern to remove the noise. This paper suggests that modified LBP method and projection vector having different weighting values according to the local shape and area in the image. Also our system maintains the simplicity of evaluation of traditional formulation while being more discriminative. Our experimental results show that a bicycle and motorcycle riding on people detection system based on proposed PLBP features achieve higher detection accuracy rate than traditional features.

물체의 3차원 모델을 음영처리하기 위해서는 물체 표면의 각 점에서 법선 벡터를 계산해야 한다. 복섹 기반의 볼륨 데이터는 표면에 대한 기하학적 정보가 없기 때문에 이웃 점들의 상대적인 위치나 데이터 값의 차이로부터 법선 벡터를 추정할 수 밖에 없다. 기존에 고안된 법선 벡터추정 연산자는크기가 고정되어 있기 때문에 제한된 영역에서만 법선 벡터를 정확하게 계산하고 나머지 영역에서는 오류를 유발한다. 이 논문에서는 표면을 구성하는 점들의 공간적 배치나 그 점들의 데이터값에 따라 크기가 변하는 가변 중심 편차 연산자와 이를 이용한 법선 벡터 추정 방법을 제안한다. 이 연산자를 사용하면 기존연산자들보다 정확하게 법선 벡터를 추정할 수 있으며, 동일한 화질인 경우 계산 시간이 상당히 단축된다.

The flow analysis is made to simulate the turbulent flow in the pipe with an obstacle. The models used are k-$\epsilon$, k-$\omega$, Spalart-Allmaras and Reynolds. The structured grid is used for the simulation The velocity vector, the pressure contour, the change of residual along the iteration number and the dynamic head are simulated for the comparison of four example cases. For the analysis, the commercial code is used.

In the compression methods widely used today, the image compression by VQ is the most popular and shows a good data compression ratio. Almost all the methods by VQ use the LBG algorithm that reads the entire image several times and moves code vectors into optimal position in each step. This complexity of algorithm requires considerable amount of time to execute. To overcome this time consuming constraint, we propose an enhanced self-organizing neural network for color images. VQ is an image coding technique that shows high data compression ratio. In this study, we improved the competitive learning method by employing three methods for the generation of codebook. The results demonstrated that compression ratio by the proposed method was improved to a greater degree compared to the SOM in neural networks.

Usually, the skin pigmentation detection and diagnosis are made by clinicians. In this process it is subjective and non-quantitative. We develop an approach to detect and measure the different pigmentation lesions base on computer vision technology. In the paper we study several usually used skin-detecting color space like HSV, YCbCr and normalized RGB. We compare their performance with illumination influence for detecting the pigmentation lesions better. Base on a relatively stable color space, we propose an approach which is RGB channels vector difference characteristic for the detection. After the object region detection, we also use the difference to measure the difference between the lesion and the surrounding normal skin. From the experiment results, our approach can effectively detect the pigmentation lesion, and perform robustness with different illumination.

In this paper, we propose a self-tuning PID controller for unknown systems with time-varying delay. Using pole placement equations, we derive the controller that can be extended to the multi-step time delay case. The time-varying delays are estimated by a prediction error delay method using multiple predictors. Since the order of the estimation vector is not increased, the persistant exciting condition of control input is alleviated. Since the least square method gives biased parameter estimates for colored noise cases, the recursive instrumental variable method is used to estimate system parameters. The computational burden of the proposed method is less than the conventional adaptive methods. Computer simulations are performed to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

This paper presents a frequency transfer function synthesis for simplifying a high-order model with time delay to a low-order model. A model reduction is based on minimizing the error function weighted by the numerator polynomial of reduced systems. The proposed method provides better low frequency fit and a computer aided algorithm. And in this paper, we present a design method of PID controller for achieving the desired specifications via the reduced model. The proposed method identifies the parameter vector of PID controller from a linear system that develops from rearranging the two dimensional input matrices and output vectors obtained from the frequency bounds.
