Drinking water samples from 29 wells in Zhenping County, China, were collected and analyzed. 35 parameters on water quality were selected, such as chloride concentration, sulphate concentration, total hardness, nitrate concentration, fluoride concentration, turbidity, pH, chromium concentration, COD, bacterium amount, total coliforms and color. The best spatial interpolation methods for the 35 parameters were found and selected from all types of interpolation methods in GIS environment according to the minimum cross-validation errors. The ACCA was improved through three strategies, namely mixed distance function, average similitude degree and probability conversion functions. Then, the ACCA was carried out to obtain different water quality grades in the GIS environment. In the end, the result from the ACCA was compared with those from the competitive Hopfield neural network(CHNN) to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the ACCA according to three evaluation indexes, which are stochastic sampling method, pixel amount and convergence speed. It is shown that the spatial water quality grades obtained from the ACCA were more effective, accurate and intelligent than those obtained from the CHNN.展开更多

In SMR classification system, data is allocated to certain classes based on linguistic and experience-based criteria. In order to eliminate linguistic criteria resulted from experience-based judgments and account for uncertainties in determining class boundaries developed by SMR system,the system classification results were corrected using two clustering algorithms, namely K-means and fuzzy c-means(FCM), for the ratings obtained via continuous and discrete functions. By applying clustering algorithms in SMR classification system, no in-advance experience-based judgment was made on the number of extracted classes in this system, and it was only after all steps of the clustering algorithms were accomplished that new classification scheme was proposed for SMR system under different failure modes based on the ratings obtained via continuous and discrete functions. The results of this study showed that, engineers can achieve more reliable and objective evaluations over slope stability by using SMR system based on the ratings calculated via continuous and discrete functions.展开更多

The clustering quality is heavily dependent on the initial cluster centroid. Different initializations can yield varied results; local adjustment cannot save the clustering result from poor local optima. If there is an anomaly in a cluster, it will seriously affect the cluster mean value. The K-means clustering algorithm is only suitable for clusters with convex shapes. We therefore propose a novel clustering algorithm CARDBK—＂centroid all rank distance（CARD）＂ which means that all centroids are sorted by distance value from one point and ＂BK＂ are the initials of ＂batch K-means＂—in which one point not only modifies a cluster centroid nearest to this point but also modifies multiple clusters centroids adjacent to this point, and the degree of influence of a point on a cluster centroid depends on the distance value between this point and the other nearer cluster centroids. Experimental results showed that our CARDBK algorithm outperformed other algorithms when tested on a number of different data sets based on the following performance indexes： entropy, purity, F1 value, Rand index and normalized mutual information（NMI）. Our algorithm manifested to be more stable, linearly scalable and faster.展开更多

According to the function of stability measureinent and owing to the limitation of minimal average routing table length, the hierarchical satellite network is grouped into separate stable connected clusters to improve destruction resistance and reconstruction ability in the future integrated network. In each cluster, redundant communication links with little contribution to network stability and slight influences on delay variation are deleted to satisfy the requirements for stability and connectivity by means of optimal link resources, and, also, the idea of logical weight is introduced to select the optimal satellites used to communicate with neighboring cluster satellites. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by comparing it with the simulated performances of other two typical hierarchical satellite networks, double layer satellite constellation（DLSC） and satellite over satellite（SOS）.展开更多

文摘The existing directed graph clustering algorithms are born with some problems such as high latency,resource depletion and poor performance of iterative data processing.A distributed parallel algorithm of structure similarity clustering on Spark(SparkSCAN)is proposed to solve these problems:considering the interaction between nodes in the network,the similar structure of nodes are clustered together;Aiming at the large-scale characteristics of directed graphs,a data structure suitable for distributed graph computing is designed,and a distributed parallel clustering algorithm is proposed based on Spark framework,which improves the processing performance on the premise of the accuracy of clustering results.The experimental results show that the SparkSCAN have a good performance,and can effectively deal with the problem of clustering algorithm for large-scale directed graph.Keywords:Directed graph clustering Parallel

文摘Round method is the common method for discrete variable optimization in optimal design of complex mechanical structures;however,it has some disadvantages such as poor precision,simple model and lacking of working conditions＇ description,etc.To solve these problems,a new model is constructed by defining parameterized fuzzy entropy,and the rationality of parameterized fuzzy entropy is verified.And a new multidirectional searching algorithm is further put forward,which takes information of actual working conditions into consideration and has a powerful local searching capability.Then this new algorithm is combined with the GA by the fuzzy clustering algorithm（FCA）.With the application of FCA,the optimal solution can be effectively filtered so as to retain the diversity and the elite of the optimal solution,and avoid the structural re-analysis phenomenon between the two algorithms.The structure design of a high pressure bypass-valve body is used as an example to make a structural optimization by the proposed HGA and finite element method（FEM）,respectively.The comparison result shows that the improved HGA fully considers the characteristic of discrete variable and information of working conditions,and is more suitable to the optimal problems with complex working conditions.Meanwhile,the research provides a new approach for discrete variable structure optimization problems.

文摘In this research,an integrated classification method based on principal component analysis-simulated annealing genetic algorithm-fuzzy cluster means(PCA-SAGA-FCM)was proposed for the unsupervised classification of tight sandstone reservoirs which lack the prior information and core experiments.A variety of evaluation parameters were selected,including lithology characteristic parameters,poro-permeability quality characteristic parameters,engineering quality characteristic parameters,and pore structure characteristic parameters.The PCA was used to reduce the dimension of the evaluation pa-rameters,and the low-dimensional data was used as input.The unsupervised reservoir classification of tight sandstone reservoir was carried out by the SAGA-FCM,the characteristics of reservoir at different categories were analyzed and compared with the lithological profiles.The analysis results of numerical simulation and actual logging data show that:1)compared with FCM algorithm,SAGA-FCM has stronger stability and higher accuracy;2)the proposed method can cluster the reservoir flexibly and effectively according to the degree of membership;3)the results of reservoir integrated classification match well with the lithologic profle,which demonstrates the reliability of the classification method.

文摘This article proposes a novel stable clustering design method for hierarchical satellite network in order to increase its stability,reduce the overhead of storage and exert effective control of the delay performances based on a 5-dimensional vector model. According to the function of stability measureinent and owing to the limitation of minimal average routing table length, the hierarchical satellite network is grouped into separate stable connected clusters to improve destruction resistance and reconstruction ability in the future integrated network. In each cluster, redundant communication links with little contribution to network stability and slight influences on delay variation are deleted to satisfy the requirements for stability and connectivity by means of optimal link resources, and, also, the idea of logical weight is introduced to select the optimal satellites used to communicate with neighboring cluster satellites. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by comparing it with the simulated performances of other two typical hierarchical satellite networks, double layer satellite constellation（DLSC） and satellite over satellite（SOS）.
