Information fusion, also named data fusion, is an efficient process of accumulating data obtained from different sources.
By means of information fusion, it can make a final decision using multiple data or information sources, which will be more accurate and reliable than if it is achieved by a single source.
Jiang et al. [9] addressed a novel hybrid data-fusion system for damage detection by integrating the data fusion technique, probabilistic neural network (PNN) models and measured modal data.
Evaluation of Damage Identification In general, the sensitivities of different damage indices are not the same owing to the influence of noise and the uncertainties of measurement data.
For each case, the modal data (frequencies and mode shapes) before and after damage are obtained from a finite element model.

The reported data are the average values from three specimens.
The increase of fiber content resulted in a reduction of 30% and 40% in the matrix workability, respectively.
The specific gravity (dry condition) of fibers composites presented reduction of 6% with the increase of the fiber content.
The modulus of elasticity is less affected and only a minor reduction (1.5% -2%) is observed.
The modulus of elasticity was less affected and only a minor reduction (1.5% -2%) was observed.

Fig.1 Contribution to international Disaster Risk Reduction efforts
(Source: the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015)
ECHO strongly supports all international efforts, including those coordinated by the United Nations, to increase disaster risk reduction worldwide.
ECHO therefore actively supported the World Conference for Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Japan in January 2005 following the Tsunami.
This conference was one of the milestone events that led to the formulation of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 and the international commitment to strengthen the International System for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) established within the auspices of UN OCHA.
During the different sessions of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, held in 2007, 2009 and 2011, ECHO actively participated sharing its strategy and experience in community based Preparedness and Disaster Risk Reduction with government representatives, specialized UN agencies, lead donors, the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, scientific and regional experts, civil society and private sector representatives.

Reduction in grain size increases strength and ductility in conventional coarse grained metals and alloys [1].
EBSD scans were taken using Quanta 200 scanning electron microscope and data were analysed using TSL 5.1 software.
The reduction in stacking fault energy of aluminum by addition of 1 wt% Mg is the highest followed by that of 1 wt % Zn and 1 % Ag [35].
The degree of grain size reduction is highest in the initial few passes, almost by one to two orders of magnitude.
The increase in uniform elongation is due to reduction in dislocation density and increase in the fraction of high angle grain boundaries.

Therefore, Lean and
Six Sigma need to be integrated to combine the variability reduction tools and techniques from Six
Sigma with Lean methods to eliminate the waste and non-value added activities.
Usually, the enterprise can use Data Analysis and Process Analysis to find the cause of problems
Comprehension of similarities and differences can help develop an approach for rapid process improvement and dysfunctions reduction through process interactions.
Figure 1 uses DMAIC-KB approach bases on PDCA cycle for process improvement and dysfunction reduction.
The DMAIC-KB approach is an extremely effective way to execute rapid process improvement and dysfunctions reduction through process interactions.

Character segmentation generally needs to go through three processes: tilt correction, remove outside, noise reduction and single-character segmentation.
Then, after remove edge and noise reduction, we can implement single character segmentation.
Noise Reduction Noise reduction can use the median filter, it use the middle of the gray values of adjacent pixels of the pixel instead the value of the pixel.
Single character segmentation After remove side and noise Reduction, Character blocks can be single character segmented.
(2) take the threshold value T, generally select a small integer (such as 0,1,2, etc.), contrast from the first data of array, get the location which the first pixel is greater than or equal to T, corresponding to the subscript of array PCount, denoted by Start1 = i1; back from i1 to right, get the location which the first value is less than or equal to T, denoted by End1 = of i2, the preliminary view is that the first character area is found

Fatigue Endurance Data Lower bound continuous cycling fatigue endurance data for 316L and 316H were obtained from [2].
These data apply to failure (Nf); the corresponding numbers of fatigue cycles for crack initiation were pessimistically taken as the numbers of cycles for crack nucleation, Ni , and were calculated using R5 Volume 2/3, Equation 8.2, thus: (3) Fatigue endurance data for 316 weld are not required because the fatigue endurance for weldments is based on best estimate parent data but incorporating a Weldment Endurance Reduction (WER) and a Weldment Strain Enhancement Factor (WSEF).
Creep Deformation Reference [6] gives creep deformation data for the materials assessed in this paper.
For weldments, R5 Volume 2/3, Table A4.2 states that mean parent fatigue endurance data are relevant.

Analysised turbulence characteristics of curved channel flow by the experimental data,and also compared the flow distribution of vertical,horizontal fluctuating intensity,get the conclusion.
Bend flow of a clear three - dimensional, therefore, at the time of study on bend flow, preferably at the same time get 3 velocity component in the data, on the basis of analysis can be without making any assumptions of bend flow movement.
Figure 2.2 Different frequency sampling Under point detection by comparing various frequency and average velocity and pulse values of knowledge, when the frequency in the 40Hz, measured point data amplitude measured more than 3,000 small, fitting linear slope almost to zero, shows measured data is stabilizing, combined with flow rate range setting, the end of this test instrument parameters determination for the sample frequency 40Hz, sample number 3,000, 30cms speed range.
Thus, we typically average time to process the measurement data.
Within the range of depth ratio, there will be "turbulent active area" , Vertical and horizontal turbulence intensity is douzeng this point the steep reduction phenomenon.
