Abstract: Abstract. The purpose of the paper is study the tunnel air environment adjustment. We built a set-up according to the similarity law. Temperature, air flow velocity, and the humidity in the model tunnel were measured using a measurement system. Experimental data were obtained under the ventilation duct at the top of the tunnel. The results show that adjusting velocity and humidity of the supply air flow can satisfy the Safety Regulation for Metal and No-metal Mines.

Abstract: Based on the characteristics of nickel stir leaching production process of sulfuric acid in Yunnan Nickel Industry Company, the whole process automation system is designed by the OMRON control system network including two layers of structures−process management decision layer and process control layer. In this paper the function, coordination mechanism and the control strategy of all subsystems are also discussed.

Abstract: Deep excavation in metropolitan areas causes more problems for the urban environment than before. Such environmental problems include surface ground subsidence, damages to the existing building, utility pipelines and safe construction of the new buildings, etc. Different excavation procedures have different influences on the environment. This paper explores the different excavation approaches and their influences on the ground environment by means of numerical analysis, and the methods to reduce the ground subsidence in the vicinity of the excavation, conclusions are helpful to urban construction.

Abstract: From the theory, the reasons of land subsidence caused by engineering precipitation are analyzed. According to the formula of calculating soil deformation, a more simple and accurate method to calculate soil deformation on precipitation zone is sought, which has been applied it to engineering practice and achieved good results, and provided confidence for the surrounding environment affected by engineering precipitation in the future.

Abstract: Thermal plasma of 12-phase AC arc was successfully developed and applied in the field of glass in-flight melting, and the arc discharge behavior was characterized by image analysis. The effects of sheath gas flow rate on arc discharge and melting behavior of granulated glass raw material were investigated. Results show that different sheath gas flow rates lead to various arc discharge and high-temperature region. The fluctuation of luminance area ratio and coefficient of variation reflects the change of arc discharge behavior. As the sheath gas flow rate increases, the ratio of luminance area decreases and the center temperature of arc increases. The vitrification degree of glass raw material is mostly dependent on the center temperature of arc, higher center temperature and more vitrification degree.

Abstract: Information science focuses on understanding problems from the perspective of the stakeholders involved and then applying information and other technologies as needed. New physics emerge because of the diverse new material properties which need to be explained. In this work, the notion of vector-valued multiresolution analysis and biorthogonal binary multi- tiwavelets is introduced. The existence of compactly supported biorthogonal vector-valued wavelets associated with a pair of biorthogonal compactly supported vector-valued scaling functions is investigated. A new method for constructing a class of biorthogonal compactly supported vector-valued wavelet functions is presented by using multiresolution analysis and matrix theory.

Abstract: In order to improve real-time object tracking effect when tracking objects are partly covered or mixed by different backgrounds, and even under the conditions of changed illuminations, in this paper, we proposed an object tracking algorithm based on block LAB feature histogram and particle filter. To demonstrate new algorithm’s excellent performance, we carried several compared experiments when objects moved under different conditions such as changed illuminations, mixed backgrounds and so forth. Experiment results show that tracking objects are often lost by using tracking algorithm based on traditional features such as color histogram, but moving objects under various and complex environments could be correctly tracked by using real-time tracking algorithm proposed in this paper.

Abstract: Boiler steam pressure control system is important because of affecting the turbine speed directly. In engineering, the steam pressure control system is mostly dominated by traditional PID control. But the traditional PID control strategy can’t obtain satisfied control effects with the changing of the fuel and give-wind flow. The use of intelligent control strategy has been studied in recent years in order to improve steam pressure control. In this paper steam pressure control system with adaptive fuzzy PID control is presented, and the simulation results based on MATLAB show that the proposed algorithm can largely improve the system response performance compared to the traditional PID control.

Abstract: Particle filtering, also known as Sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC), is a sophisticated model estimation techniques based on simulation. Particle filtering has important applications in location, tracking and other fields. It indicates probability using particle set and can be used in any space-state model. Its core idea is to extract a random state from the posterior probability express the distribution. In general, particle filtering is a process which uses a set of stochastic sample propagating in space-state to approximate probability density function and to replace integral operation with mean value of a sample to obtain minimum state variance distribution. It solves the restriction that nonlinear filtering should match Gaussian distribution, expresses a wider range of distribution than Gaussian distribution and has a strong ability to model the nonlinear characteristic of variance parameter. This paper introduces the application of particle filtering in visual tracking. Finally, it puts forward some improved algorithms to revise the inherent deficiencies existing in particle filtering.

Abstract: A sensitive aptamer-based signal-on sensor for real-time detection of L-histidine via self-cleavage of DNAzymes and amplification of elongated tetrahexaheral gold nanocrystals (end-truncated-ETHH-Au-NCs) is presented. The introduction of target L-histidine induced self-cleavage of DNAzymes on the end-truncated-ETHH-Au-NCs modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) into the solution. The resulting change in electron transfer efficiency is readily measured by square wave voltammetry (SWV) at target L-histidine concentrations as low as 0.1 pM, the increase in the SWV peak current is linear with the concentration of L-histidine in the range from 0.1 pM to 0.1 μM. The fabricated aptasensor shows a high specificity for L-histidine which is not affected by the coexistence of other amino acids, and an excellent enantio-selectivity toward L-histidine was achieved.
