一种综合颜色、纹理信息的皮肤检测方法

针对目前许多皮肤检测方法只考虑了像素级别上的颜色信息，未较好地利用图像空间上的其他信息，如纹理信息以及光照条件对成像颜色所造成的影响，在SPM方法的基础上提出了改进。首先引入“灰色世界”算法对因非标准光照所产生的颜色改变进行校正，有效提高了正检率。对SPM方法的输出部分通过灰度共生矩阵提取图像的纹理信息，过滤颜色信息为皮肤而纹理信息为非皮肤的像素区域，有效降低了误检率。实验结果表明，该方法取得了较好的效果。     

作战协同关系超图模型

在分析超图和作战协同相关概念基础上,采用形式化方式对抽象化的作战协同关系进行了描述,定义了协同关系矩阵,创新性地根据超图相关概念构建了作战协同超图模型,并根据模型定义了顶点度和关联系数等支持作战协同关系分析的特征参数。通过实验建立了某想定数据中的火力协同关系超图模型,并进行了度和关联系数的分析,实验结果证明了作战协同关系超图模型的可用性。     

中等收入人口定位的收入比区间法

为准确定位中等收入人口,在分析洛伦兹曲线和贫富分界点的基础上,以人口收入占总收入比例来描述中等收入人口。提出了中等收入人口定位的收入比区间法,先利用非线性最小二乘拟合洛伦兹曲线,计算出贫富分界点,然后确定经过两极分化指数修正的中等收入比区间,进而计算中等收入水平及人口,给出了算法步骤。A,B两地区的定位结果表明,用收入比描述中等收入人口符合经济学规律,收入比区间法能有效定位和度量中等收入人口。全国城镇居民中等收入定位结果表明,中等收入人口的比例在下降,收入水平在增加,收入分配的公平性得到了改善。     

矩阵变换器自抗扰控制策略研究

矩阵变换器的输出电压易受各种因素的影响,为了改善输出性能,将自抗扰控制技术应用于矩阵变换器的闭环控制中。分析了自抗扰控制器的特性,提出了一种双闭环自抗扰控制策略,即电流内环与电压外环均采用一阶简化的自抗扰控制算法。仿真结果表明:该方法不仅可以有效地抑制多种扰动的影响,而且比PI控制具有更优的动静态性能,可满足高性能矩阵变换器系统的控制要求。     

Balancing stability and efficiency in team formation as a generalized roommate problem

The assignment of personnel to teams is a fundamental managerial function typically involving several objectives and a variety of idiosyncratic practical constraints. Despite the prevalence of this task in practice, the process is seldom approached as an optimization problem over the reported preferences of all agents. This is due in part to the underlying computational complexity that occurs when intra-team interpersonal interactions are taken into consideration, and also due to game-theoretic considerations, when those taking part in the process are self-interested agents. Variants of this fundamental decision problem arise in a number of settings, including, for example, human resources and project management, military platooning, ride sharing, data clustering, and in assigning students to group projects. In this article, we study an analytical approach to “team formation” focused on the interplay between two of the most common objectives considered in the related literature: economic efficiency (i.e., the maximization of social welfare) and game-theoretic stability (e.g., finding a core solution when one exists). With a weighted objective across these two goals, the problem is modeled as a bi-level binary optimization problem, and transformed into a single-level, exponentially sized binary integer program. We then devise a branch-cut-and-price algorithm and demonstrate its efficacy through an extensive set of simulations, with favorable comparisons to other algorithms from the literature.     

基于准循环双对角阵的LDPC码编码算法

针对校验矩阵形如准循环双对角阵的结构化LDPC码,对比研究了两类高效的编码算法:矩阵分解编码算法和分项累加递归编码算法,证明了两类算法从实现角度是等价的,但分项累加递归编码算法推导更为直观,且便于硬件并行实现。基于分项累加编码算法,提出了一种适合准循环双对角LDPC码的部分并行编码结构,设计实现了IEEE 802.11n标准中的LDPC码编码器。FPGA实现结果表明,所设计的LDPC编码器具有硬件开销较小、吞吐率高的优点,在码长为1944bit、码率为5/6时信息比特吞吐率最高可达13Gbps。     

The effect of deployment on first‐ and second‐term re‐enlistment in the US active duty force

Why should deployment affect re‐enlistment? In our model, members enter the military with naïve beliefs about deployment and use actual deployment experience to update their beliefs and revise their expected utility of re‐enlisting. Empirically, re‐enlistment is related to the type and number of deployments, consistent with the learning model. Non‐hostile deployment increases first‐term re‐enlistment but hostile deployment has little effect except for the Army, where the effect is positive. Both types increase second‐term re‐enlistment. Interestingly, first‐term members with dependants tend to respond to deployment like second‐term members. In addition, deployment acts directly to affect re‐enlistment, not indirectly through time to promotion.     

Aid versus sanctions for taming oppressors: theory and case study of the Iraqi Kurds

We model an oppressor aiming at victimizing an excluded group in his country, with two main variants. A foreign power affects his behaviour using either conditional aid, subject to the dictator’s participation constraint, or the threat of sanctions, broadly defined, subject to the credibility constraint. The choice between the two is either determined by the latter, or by their relative cost. Aid is preferred when the threat of sanctions is ineffective, and sanctions are too expensive. Sanctions might be imposed, if the threat is ineffective. A case study of the Iraqi Kurds after Iraq was subject to sanctions is presented.     

TERRORISM: FACTS FROM FIGURES 1

If international terrorism is on a rising trend, an important source of confirmation or refutation of this is time‐series data on terrorist activity. Using chiefly data collected by the RAND/MIPT consortium we show using basic statistical analysis that in the period 1968–2005 the yearly number of all international terrorist incidents shows no trend over time, but fluctuates year on year in a random manner. On the other hand some indicators do show a definite trend over time, principally the steady rise in the number of incidents that are death‐dealing in nature. A further conclusion is drawn, showing that the proportion of these incidents leading to deaths above a given level is virtually fixed.
