Autocorrelation function f(i) was calculated from the square root of the vertex degree, revised vertex degree and their combination, and they are (δ i) 1/2 , (δ V i) 1/2 ,(δ V i+δ i) 1/2 and (δ E i-δ i) 1/2 / N. With the matrix description method achieved, and the unit input in matrix of unsaturated bond and heteroatoms revised based on the adjacency matrix and distance matrix of organic molecular graph, the corresponding computer software has also been designed and developed. Better results have been obtained for the application of these indexes in QSAR study of organic chemicals.展开更多

Methods: When the beamforming SoS settings are adjusted to match the real tissue’s SoS, the ultrasound image at regions of interest will be in focus and the image quality will be optimal. Based on this principle, both a tissue-mimicking ultrasound phantom and normal human liver in vivo were used in this study. Ultrasound image was acquired using different SoS settings in beamforming channels ranging from 1420 m/sec to 1600 m/sec. Two regions of interest (ROIs) were selected. One was in a fully developed speckle region, while the other contained specular reflectors. We evaluated the image quality of these two ROIs in images acquired at different SoS settings in beamforming channels by using the normalized autocorrelation function (ACF) of the image data. The values of the normalized ACF at a specific lag as a function of the SoS setting were computed. Subsequently, the soft tissue’s SoS was determined from the SoS setting at the minimum value of the normalized ACF. Results: The value of the ACF as a function of the SoS setting can be computed for phantom and human liver images. SoS in soft tissue can be determined from the SoS setting at the minimum value of the normalized ACF. The estimation results show that the SoS of the tissue-mimicking phantom is 1460 m/sec, which is consistent with the phantom manufacturer’s specification, and the SoS of the normal human liver is 1540 m/sec, which is within the range of the SoS in a healthy human liver in vivo. Conclusion: Soft tissue’s SoS can be determined by analyzing the normalized ACF of ultrasound images. The method is based on searching for a minimum of the normalized ACF of ultrasound image data with a specific lag among different SoS settings in beamforming channels.展开更多

The tide level of the southern coast of Japan Island is affected strongly by Kuroshio Current flowing in the western part of North Pacific Ocean. When Kuroshio takes the straight path and flow along the Japan Islands, the tide level increases, and it is calculated from two tide level data observed at Kushimoto and Uragami in the southern part of Kii Peninsula. In contrast, the tide level decreases at the time when Kuroshio leaves from the Japan Islands. In this paper, the hourly tidal data are analyzed using the Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and the Mutual Information (MI) and the phase trajectories at first. We classify the results into 5 types of tidal motion. Each categorized type is investigated and characterized precisely using the mean tide level and the unit root test (ADF test) next. The frequency of the type having unstable tidal motion increases when the Kuroshio Current is non-meandering or in a transition state or the tide level is high, and the type shows a non-stationary process. On the other hand, when the Kuroshio Current meanders, the tidal motion tends to take a periodical and stable state and the motion is a stationary process. Though it is not frequent, we also discover a type of stationary and irregular tidal motion.展开更多

A CGR-walk model is proposed based on the new CGR coordinates for the protein sequences from complete genomes in the present paper. The new CCR coordinates based on the detailed HP model are converted into a time series, and a long-memory ARFIMA（p, d, q） model is introduced into the protein sequence analysis. This model is applied to simulating real CCR-walk sequence data of twelve protein sequences. Remarkably long-range correlations are uncovered in the data and the results obtained from these models are reasonably consistent with those available from the ARFIMA（p, d, q） model.展开更多

This model could connect the micro-parameters of the cracks with the macro- mechanical properties, and can be effectively applied to model the real inhomogeneous medium. Numerical example indicates that the random distribution characters could be different for different elastic constants under the same random distribution of number density of cracks. By changing the value of the autocorrelation length pair, it is possible to model the difference of the distribution in the two coordinate directions. Numerical modeling results for seismic wave propagating in rocks with random distributed fractures using a staggered high-order finite-difference (SHOFD) are also presented.展开更多

Mining-induced seismicity has been found to be internally correlated in both time and space domains as a result of rock fracturing during progressive mining activities. Understanding the spatio-temporal(ST) correlation of mininginduced seismic events is an essential step to use seismic data for further analysis, such as rockburst prediction and caving assessment. However, there are no established methods to perform this critical task. Input parameters used for the prediction of seismic hazards, such as the time window of past data and effective prediction distance, are determined based on site-specific experience without statistical or physical reasons to support. Therefore, the accuracy of current seismic prediction methods is largely constrained, which can only be addressed by quantitively assessing the ST correlations of mininginduced seismicity. In this research, the ST correlation of seismic event energy collected from a study mine is quantitatively analysed using various statistical methods, including autocorrelation function(ACF), semivariogram and Moran’s I analysis. In addition, based on the integrated ST correlation assessment, seismic events are further classified into seven clusters, so as to assess the correlations within individual clusters. The correlation of seismic events is found to be quantitatively assessable, and their correlations may vary throughout the mineral extraction process.展开更多

The evolution of the wave packet for different manifold eigenstates with finite and infinite lifetimes is investigated analytically. It is found that the quantum coherence and evolution of the surface electronic wave packet can be controlled by the laser central energy and electric field. The results show that the finite lifetime of excited states expedites the dephasing of the coherent electronic wave packet significantly. The correspondence between classical and quantum mechanica is shown explicitly in the system.展开更多

The mobile cellular subscription data for the study were taken from the administrative data submitted to the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) as quarterly returns by all three mobile network operators Airtel Zambia, MTN Zambia and Zamtel. The time series of annual figures for mobile cellular subscription for all mobile network operators is from 2000 to 2014 and has a total of 15 observations. Results show that the ARIMA (1, 2, 1) is an adequate model which best fits the mobile cellular subscription time series and is therefore suitable for forecasting subscription. The model predicts a gradual rise in mobile cellular subscription in the next 5 years, culminating to about 9.0% cumulative increase in 2019.展开更多

Furthermore, a fault diagnosis method for reciprocating compressors based on empirical mode decomposition （EMD） and CA function is proposed, and then it is applied to the fault diagnosis of reciprocating compressor valve. Firstly, the vibration signal of reciprocating compressor valve is decomposed by using ENID method, and several intrinsic mode functions （IMFs） are obtained. Secondly, the IMFs are evaluated by some denoising criterions to remove the noise and interfering ones. Finally, the CA functions of the remained IMFs are calculated, which will be used to reconstruct the CA function of the original vibration signal. Engineering application indicates that this method can sufficiently inhibit the cross-interference items of CA function. Therefore, more explicit working conditions of reciprocating compressor components can be achieved.展开更多

We propose a novel pattern design technique combining fractal geometry and image texture synthesis to solve these problems. We have improved Wei and Levoy (2000)’s texture synthesis algorithm by first using two-dimensional autocorrelation function to analyze the structure and distribution of textures, and then determining the size of L neighborhood. Several special fractal sets were adopted and HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Light) color space was chosen. The fractal structure was used to manipulate the texture synthesis in HSL color space where the pattern’s color can be adjusted conveniently. Experiments showed that patterns with different styles and different color characteristics can be more efficiently generated using the new technique.展开更多

However, the number and locations of breakpoints, as well as the approximation function of the respective segment signal are unknown. To solve this problem, a novel on-line structural breaks estimation algorithm based on piecewise autoregressive processes is proposed. In order to find the "best" combination of the number, lengths, and orders of the piecewise autoregressive (AR) processes, the Akaikes Information Criterion (AIC) and Yule-Walker equations are applied to estimate an AR model fit to the data. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed estimation algorithm is suitable for different data series. Furthermore, the algorithm is used in a clinical study of electroencephalogram (EEG) with satisfactory results, and the ability to deal with real-time data is the most outstanding characteristic of on-line structural breaks estimation algorithm proposed.展开更多

Based on the first twelve recurrences derived analytically, the spin autocorrelation function （SAF） and associated spectral density at high temperature were obtained numerically. Our results indicate that when the standard deviation σg （or OrB） of the exchange couplings Ji （or the random transverse fields Bi） is small, no long-time tail appears in the SAE The spin system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collectivemode behavior, which is the dynamical characteristics of RTIM with the bimodal disorder. However, when σJ （or σB） is large enough, the system exhibits similar dynamics behaviors to those of the RTIM with the Gaussian disorder, i.e., the system exhibits an enhanced central-peak behavior for large σJ or a disordered behavior for large σB. In this instance, SAFs exhibit a similar long-time tail, i.e., C（t） ~ t ^-2 for large t. Similar properties are obtained when Ji （or Bi） satisfy the double-exponential distribution or the double-uniform distribution. Besides, when both the standard deviations and the mean values of the exchange couplings are small, the effects of the Gaussian random bonds may drive the system undergo two crossovers from a triplet state to a doublet state, and then to a collective-mode state.展开更多

The probability density function of the height distribution of the generated Gaussian surface and the root-mean-square height of the rough surface are also considered. It is found that the height distribution of the generated surface follows the Gaussian distribution, the deviation of the root-mean-square height of the modeled rough surface from the desired value is smaller than that of Patir's method, and the autocorrelation function of the modeled surface is also in good agreement with the desired autocorrelation function. Compared with Patir's method, the modeled surface generated by the IDFT method is in better agreement with the desired autocorrelation function, especially when the correlation length is relatively large.展开更多

Subsequently, the soft tissue’s SoS was determined from the SoS setting at the minimum value of the normalized ACF. Results: The value of the ACF as a function of the SoS setting can be computed for phantom and human liver images. SoS in soft tissue can be determined from the SoS setting at the minimum value of the normalized ACF. The estimation results show that the SoS of the tissue-mimicking phantom is 1460 m/sec, which is consistent with the phantom manufacturer’s specification, and the SoS of the normal human liver is 1540 m/sec, which is within the range of the SoS in a healthy human liver in vivo. Conclusion: Soft tissue’s SoS can be determined by analyzing the normalized ACF of ultrasound images. The method is based on searching for a minimum of the normalized ACF of ultrasound image data with a specific lag among different SoS settings in beamforming channels.

We propose a novel pattern design technique combining fractal geometry and image texture synthesis to solve these problems. We have improved Wei and Levoy (2000)’s texture synthesis algorithm by first using two-dimensional autocorrelation function to analyze the structure and distribution of textures, and then determining the size of L neighborhood. Several special fractal sets were adopted and HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Light) color space was chosen. The fractal structure was used to manipulate the texture synthesis in HSL color space where the pattern’s color can be adjusted conveniently. Experiments showed that patterns with different styles and different color characteristics can be more efficiently generated using the new technique.

文摘Non-stationary time series could be divided into piecewise stationary stochastic signal. However, the number and locations of breakpoints, as well as the approximation function of the respective segment signal are unknown. To solve this problem, a novel on-line structural breaks estimation algorithm based on piecewise autoregressive processes is proposed. In order to find the "best" combination of the number, lengths, and orders of the piecewise autoregressive (AR) processes, the Akaikes Information Criterion (AIC) and Yule-Walker equations are applied to estimate an AR model fit to the data. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed estimation algorithm is suitable for different data series. Furthermore, the algorithm is used in a clinical study of electroencephalogram (EEG) with satisfactory results, and the ability to deal with real-time data is the most outstanding characteristic of on-line structural breaks estimation algorithm proposed.
文摘A class of new PN sequence with prime number periods of 4t +1 form (t is an integer)is constructed.The advantage of these PN sequencs over the m(M) sequence is their large number of alternative periods.They have good pseudo random characteristics demonstrated by the expression of periodic autocorrelation function found out in this paper.

文摘The dynamical properties of one-dimensional random transverse Ising model （RTIM） with a double-Gaussian disorder is investigated by the recursion method. Based on the first twelve recurrences derived analytically, the spin autocorrelation function （SAF） and associated spectral density at high temperature were obtained numerically. Our results indicate that when the standard deviation σg （or OrB） of the exchange couplings Ji （or the random transverse fields Bi） is small, no long-time tail appears in the SAE The spin system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collectivemode behavior, which is the dynamical characteristics of RTIM with the bimodal disorder. However, when σJ （or σB） is large enough, the system exhibits similar dynamics behaviors to those of the RTIM with the Gaussian disorder, i.e., the system exhibits an enhanced central-peak behavior for large σJ or a disordered behavior for large σB. In this instance, SAFs exhibit a similar long-time tail, i.e., C（t） ~ t ^-2 for large t. Similar properties are obtained when Ji （or Bi） satisfy the double-exponential distribution or the double-uniform distribution. Besides, when both the standard deviations and the mean values of the exchange couplings are small, the effects of the Gaussian random bonds may drive the system undergo two crossovers from a triplet state to a doublet state, and then to a collective-mode state.

文摘A numerical simulation method based on inverse discrete Fourier transform(IDFT)is presented for generating Gaussian rough surface with a desired autocorrelation function(ACF). The probability density function of the height distribution of the generated Gaussian surface and the root-mean-square height of the rough surface are also considered. It is found that the height distribution of the generated surface follows the Gaussian distribution, the deviation of the root-mean-square height of the modeled rough surface from the desired value is smaller than that of Patir's method, and the autocorrelation function of the modeled surface is also in good agreement with the desired autocorrelation function. Compared with Patir's method, the modeled surface generated by the IDFT method is in better agreement with the desired autocorrelation function, especially when the correlation length is relatively large.

文摘The characterization of long-range correlations and fractal properties of DNA sequences has proved to be adifficult though rewarding task mainly due to the mosaic character of DNA consisting of many patches of various lengthswith different nucleotide constitutions.In this paper we investigate statistical correlations among different positions in DNAsequences using the two-dimensional DNA walk.The root-mean-square fluctuation F(l)is described by a power law.Theautocorrelation function C(l),which is used to measure the linear dependence and periodicity,exists a power law ofC(l)-l^(-μ).We also calculate the mean-square distance<R^2(l)>along the DNA chain,and it may be expressed as<R^2(l)>-l^(?)with 2>γ>1.Our investigations can provide some insights into long-range correlations in DNA sequences.
文摘A simple and mathematically tractable model of a nonstationary process is developed.The process is the sum of waves where the parameters of the waves are random.Explicit expres-sions for the mean and autocorrelation function at each position as a function of time are obtained.In the case of infinite time,the model evolves into a stationary process.The time-frequency distri-bution at each position is also obtained.An explicit example is given where the initial waves are Gaussian.The case where there is dispersion in the propagation is also discussed.

文摘With the development of Internet of Things(IoT),the speed estimation technology has attracted significant attention in the field of indoor security,intelligent home and personalized service.Due to the indoor multipath propagation,the speed information is implicit in the motion-induced reflected signal.Thus,the wireless signal can be leveraged to measure the speed of moving target.Among existing speed estimation approaches,users need to either carry a specialized device or walk in a predefined route.Wi-Fi based approaches provide an alternative solution in a device-free way.In this paper,we propose a direction independent indoor speed estimation system in terms of Electromagnetic(EM)wave statistical theory.Based on the statistical characteristics of EM waves,we establish the deterministic relationship between the Autocorrelation Function(ACF)of Channel State Information(CSI)and the speed of a moving target.Extensive experiments show that the system achieves a median error of 0.18 m/s for device-free single target walking speed estimation.
