Cloud based intelligent system for delivering health care as a service

The promising potential of cloud computing and its convergence with technologies such as mobile computing, wireless networks, sensor technologies allows for creation and delivery of newer type of cloud services. In this paper, we advocate the use of cloud computing for the creation and management of cloud based health care services. As a representative case study, we design a Cloud Based Intelligent Health Care Service (CBIHCS) that performs real time monitoring of user health data for diagnosis of chronic illness such as diabetes. Advance body sensor components are utilized to gather user specific health data and store in cloud based storage repositories for subsequent analysis and classification. In addition, infrastructure level mechanisms are proposed to provide dynamic resource elasticity for CBIHCS. Experimental results demonstrate that classification accuracy of 92.59% is achieved with our prototype system and the predicted patterns of CPU usage offer better opportunities for adaptive resource elasticity.     

基于轨迹频率抑制的轨迹隐私保护方法

移动终端和定位技术的快速发展带来了轨迹大数据.研究者通过挖掘和分析发布的轨迹数据集,可获得一些有价值的信息.攻击者也可利用所掌握的知识对发布的轨迹数据集进行推理分析,以较高的概率推断出用户的隐私信息.轨迹抑制是一类实现隐私保护的重要方法,然而轨迹抑制的点数越多会造成数据效用越低.因此,在满足用户隐私需求的情况下,如何选择合理的抑制点来提高匿名处理后的数据效用是数据发布中要解决的重要问题.针对以上问题,文中提出两种基于轨迹频率的方案对轨迹数据进行匿名处理.第一种方案是根据情况抑制整条有问题的轨迹数据或向有问题的轨迹数据集中添加假数据;第二种方案是采用特定的轨迹局部抑制法对数据进行抑制处理.实验表明相对于已有方案,在满足同等隐私需求的情况下,文中方案处理后的数据效用提升了近30%.

双渠道供应链中服务对定价和需求的影响研究

研究了集中式决策和基于Stackelberg博弈这两种情况下的双渠道供应链的定价、服务及需求的关系。制造商和零售商提供的服务对价格、需求会产生影响,渠道商改善服务有利于本渠道价格的提高,同时会影响到另一渠道的定价,影响程度与双渠道决策模式相关。与服务对定价的影响不同,渠道商提供的服务对本渠道需求产生的影响是双向的,当服务水平在一定的范围内,改善服务可以增加本渠道市场需求,降低另一渠道需求;当服务水平过高,继续改善服务不仅不能增加需求反而减少需求,同时对另一渠道的需求产生影响,这种影响与消费者市场类型存在密切关系。当消费者市场属于价格敏感型时,服务水平存在一个帕累托区间,任一渠道商改善服务都会促进双渠道需求的增加。

轴向冲击下波纹腹板梁的失稳控制和能量吸收

针对Sine波纹腹板梁结构,通过设计其初始振幅缺陷,控制不同波形阶数下波纹梁的失稳模态,引导上下翼板按预期渐进、稳定、可重复的压溃变形模式发展.采用Abaqus/Explicit中的显式动力学方法数值模拟初始振幅缺陷与比吸能(Specific Energy Absorption,SEA)的关系.通过对比低阶、中阶和高阶波形的载荷-位移曲线说明波形阶数对吸能特性和失稳控制的影响.结果表明:对于给定的波形阶数,存在初始振幅缺陷的临界值使Sine波纹腹板梁结构达到预期的临界失稳状态,同时SEA最大;初始振幅缺陷越大,失稳控制越容易,但吸能效果随之降低.

Relationship between chemical degradation and thickness loss of an amine-cured epoxy coating exposed to different UV environments

The relationship between chemical degradation and thickness loss of an unpigmented, non UV-stabilized, crosslinked amine-cured epoxy coating exposed to three UV conditions was investigated. Spin-coated samples having a thickness of approximately 7 μm on an Si substrate were prepared from a stochiometric mixture of a bisphenol A epoxy resin and a tetra-functional amine curing agent. Samples were exposed outdoors and to two accelerated laboratory UV environments. Chemical degradation and thickness loss were measured by transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), respectively. In addition, surface roughness and morphological changes were measured by atomic forcemicrosocopy (AFM) and LSCM. Substantial chemical degradation, thickness loss, and morpholocal changes occurred in the exposed films, and the rate of chemical degradation was greater than that due to the thickness loss. This additional chemical loss was attributed to an inhomogeneous degradation process in which nanoscale localized depressions initiate at certain sites on the surface, which then enlarge and deepen with exposure time. The results of this study provide a better understanding of the degradation mechanism and should lead to the development of scientific-based models for predicting the service life of crosslinked amine-cured epoxy coatings.
