As a literature trend, local novels open a new road for realistically sentimental novels of view literature. Therefore, this paper is aim to study the Local Colorism American Novels of 19th Century, especially in west and south of American. American southern literature and western literature although established respectively unique sense of place suffer from complex history. And it proves that American literature has been increasingly building it popularity and a new type of literature.展开更多

The local colorists were devoted to capturing the unique customs, manners, speech, folklore and other qualities of a particular regional community, usually in humorous short stories. The most famous local colorist was Mark Twain. His fiction The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, published in 1884, was regarded as"the first great novel in America", as well as the most classical work of local colorism.展开更多

Unlike other reported results obtained by using focus ion beam(FIB) to create metallic nanostructures, the nano-sized hole/ring arrays in Al film in this work are replicated by high resolution electron beam lithography(EBL) combined with self-aligned metallization. Clear structural color is observed and systematically studied by numerical simulations as well as optical characterizations. The central color is strongly related to the geometric size, which provides us with good opportunities to dye the colorless Al surface by controlling the hole/ring dimensions(both diameter and radius), and to open up broad applications in display, jewelry decoration, green production of packing papers, security code,and counterfeits prevention.展开更多

In this paper, a simple yet effective approach for detecting and locating human faces in color images is proposed. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, a particular reference to face detection techniques along with a background to neural networks is given. Second, and maybe most importantly, an adaptive cubic-spline neural network is designed to be used to detect and locate human faces in uncontrolled environments. The experimental results conducted on our test set show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and it can compare favorably with other state-of-the-art approaches in the literature.展开更多

文摘最小负载着色问题(minimum load coloring problem,MLCP)源于构建光通信网络的波分复用(wavelength division multiplexing,WDM)技术,是一个被证明的NP完全问题.由于NP完全问题有着随问题规模呈指数增长的解空间,因此启发式算法常被用来解决这类问题.在对国内外相关工作的深入分析基础上得知,现有的多类求解MLCP问题的启发式算法中局部搜索算法表现是最好的.研究针对当前求解MLCP问题的局部搜索算法在数据预处理和邻域空间搜索上的不足,提出了两点相应的优化策略:一是在数据的预处理阶段,提出一度顶点规则来约简数据的规模,进而减小MLCP问题的搜索空间;二是在算法的邻域空间搜索阶段,提出两阶段多重选择策略(twostage best from multiple selections,TSBMS)来帮助局部搜索算法在面对不同规模的邻域空间时可以高效地选择一个高质量的邻居解,它有效地提高了局部搜索算法在处理不同规模数据时的求解表现.将这个优化后的局部搜索算法命名为IRLTS.采用74个经典的测试用例来验证IRLTS算法的有效性.实验结果表明,无论最优解还是平均解,IRLTS算法在大多数测试用例上都明显优于当前表现最好的3个局部搜索算法.此外,还通过实验验证了所提策略的有效性以及分析了关键参数对算法的影响.
