Adaptive fuzzy iterative learning control of robotic systems with time-delay outputs and input dead zone via observer
Authors: Zhang Youan , Wei Jianming , Wang Hong , Liu Jingmao
Published: February 2019

This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy iterative learning control method for
the output tracking problem of robotic systems with unknown time delay
output and input dead-zone. A state observer is designed to estimate
unmeasurable velocity variables. By introducing boundary layer function, the
identical initial condition for most iterative learning control schemes is
relaxed. By combining appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and fuzzy
logic systems approximation technique, the proposed control scheme can
guarantee that the output tracking converges to the desired reference
trajectory within an error tolerance and all the closed-loop signals remain
bounded.

Published: February 2019

Recently, various technologies and sciences are developed for fourth
industrial revolution which includes artificial intelligence, robotics,
internet of things, 3-D printing, and autonomous transportation. The
autonomous transportation is one of the fourth industrial technology, and
has been studying for safety driving. Accurate lane detection and lane
departure warning system is very important for autonomous transportation.
However, conventional methods have some problems of applying real-driving
such as extracting miss lanes under cloudy weather and vehicle disturbance
situations. In order to solve the real driving problems, we propose a new
lane detection technique for lane departure and forward collision warning
system using a single in-vehicle camera. The proposed method consists of
triangular lane model, feature points extraction method. In the near field,
a triangular lane model is used to approximate a pair of lane boundaries.
Subsequently, feature points extraction method based on hyperbola curve
model is applied to obtain lane curvature in the far field. Mathematical
B-spline applied to feature points for curved lane fitting. Simulation
results show that the proposed lane detection and tracking method has good
performance.
Combining prospect theory with fuzzy theory to handle disruption in production scheduling
Authors: Jiang Yang , Ding Qiulei , Ruan Junhu , Wang Wenjuan
Published: February 2019

This paper focuses on revising a production scheduling that an unpredictable
disruption happens after a subset of jobs has been processed. Under these
circumstances, continuing with the original schedule will not be optimal.
This paper combines prospect theory and fuzzy theory to present a recovery
model to handle the disruption. The proposed model is different from most
rescheduling approaches in that the difference between the original schedule
and the recovery schedule is contained by taking human behavior into
consideration. The computational result demonstrates that due to the tradeoff
between all participators involved in production scheduling, our model is
more effective than existing rescheduling approaches.
Top-k sequence pattern mining with non-overlapping condition
Authors: Chai Xin , Yang Dan , Liu Jingyu , Li Yan , Wu Youxi
Published: February 2019

Pattern mining has been widely applied in many fields. Users often mine a
large number of patterns. However, most of these are difficult to apply in
real applications. Top-k pattern mining, which involves finding the most
frequent k patterns, is an effective strategy, because the more frequently a
pattern occurs, the more likely they are to be important for users. However,
top-k mining can only mine short patterns in mining applications with the
Apriori property. It is well-known that short patterns contain less
information than long patterns. In this paper, we focus on mining top-k
sequence patterns of each pattern length. We propose an effective algorithm,
named NOSTOPK (non-overlapping sequence pattern mining for top-k). The
algorithm calculates the support of a pattern using a Nettree data
structure, which has been introduced to tackle various types of pattern
matching and sequence pattern mining issues. We find the top k patterns of
length len, and calculate the supports of the corresponding k x |?|
super-patterns of length len + 1 to discover the new top k super-patterns
with len + 1. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm achieves a
better performance than comparable algorithms.
Attribute reduction of relative knowledge granularity in intuitionistic fuzzy ordered decision table
Authors: Sang Binbin , Zhang Xiaoyan , Xu Weihua
Published: February 2019

For the moment, the attribute reduction algorithm of relative knowledge
granularity is very important research areas. It provides a new viewpoint to
simplify feature set. Based on the decision information is unchanged, fast
and accurate deletion of redundant attributes, which is the meaning of
attribute reduction. Distinguishing ability of attribute sets can be well
described by relative knowledge granularity in domain. Therefore, how to use
the information based on relative knowledge granularity to simplify the
calculation of attribute reduction. It is an important direction of
research. For increasing productiveness and accuracy of attribute reduction,
in this paper we investigate attribute reduction method of relative
knowledge granularity in intuitionistic fuzzy ordered decision table(IFODT).
More precisely, we redefine the granularity of knowledge and the relative
knowledge granularity by ordered relation. And their relevant properties are
proved. On the premise that the decision results remain unchanged, in order
to accurately calculate the relative importance of any condition attributes
about the decision attribute sets, the conditional attribute of internal and
external significance are designed by relative knowledge granularity. And
some important properties of relative attribute significance are proved.
Therefore, we determine the importance of conditional attributes based on
the size of the relative attribute significance. In the aspect of
computation, the corresponding algorithm is designed and time complexity of
algorithm is calculated. Moreover, the attribute reduction model of relative
knowledge granularity of efficiency and accuracy is proved by test. Last, the
validity of algorithm is demonstrated by an case about IFODT.
Stable attribute reduction for neighborhood rough set
Authors: Liang Shaochen , Yang Xibei , Chen Xiangjian , Li Jingzheng
Published: February 2019

In neighborhood rough set theory, traditional heuristic algorithm for
computing reducts does not take the stability of the selected attributes
into account, it follows that the performances of the reducts may not be
good enough if the perturbations of data occur. To fill the gap, the
mechanism of acquiring the most significant attribute is realized by two
steps in the reduction process: firstly, several important attributes are
derived in each iteration based on several radii which are close to the
given radius for computing reduct; secondly, the most significant attribute
is selected from them by a voting strategy. The experiments verify that such
method can effectively improve the stabilities of the reducts, and it does
not require too much attributes for constructing the reducts.

Authors: Tao Xiaomei , Niu Qinzhou , Jackson Mike , Ratcliffe Martyn
Published: February 2019

In general, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) fail to take account of the
emotional and cognitive states of the students who use them. This paper
explores the relationship between emotion and cognition when students learn
via the medium of video lectures. A cognitive emotional model was
constructed to determine the student?s cognitive and emotional state while
watching an instructional video. This model was a Bayesian belief network
(BBN) model. With the method of ten times 10-fold cross-validation,
evaluation results showed that the Bayesian network classifies the emotion
state with 60% accuracy and classifies both the emotion and cognitive state
with 48.82% accuracy. This model provides an emotional and cognitive states
recognition solution for video lecture learners in a non-intrusive way with
low cost.

A trust transitivity model for group decision making in social network with intuitionistic fuzzy information
Authors: Zheng Ye-Fu , Xu Jun
Published: February 2019

Group decision-making problems within social relationships among experts are
called SN-GDM problems and have been widely considered in many fields, such
as management, social science, and natural science. In SN-GDM problems, the
trust relationships among experts possess uncertainty and attenuation during
propagation. However, few studies have focused on the two issues at the same
time. This work aims to develop a trust transitivity model for SN-GDM with
intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) information. First, to model the trust
relationships among experts, we present an intuitionistic fuzzy trust
transitivity model that contains a trust propagation operator and an
aggregation operator. Second, some concepts of IF trust network centrality
analysis are defined and applied to determine expert weights. Third, a new
approach is proposed to solve SN-GDM problems with IF information. Finally,
comparison analysis is conducted to highlight the advantages of the proposed
approach. An example is also provided to show the validity of the proposed
method.

With the internationalization of manufacturing industry in our country
today, how to ensure the high reliability of production equipment and
minimize the cost of equipment maintenance has become an important issue for
the survival and development of enterprises. Flexible formulation of the
corresponding equipment update strategy is of great significance for
reducing the operating costs of enterprises, improving the labor
productivity of enterprises and even enhancing the competitiveness of the
industry. This article research on maintenance method and replacement policy
of engine cylinder automatic production line equipment of a car factory uses
failure statistics and analysis method to process related equipment
maintenance data and obtain the failure model. On this basis, the equivalent
cycle model for series system of multiple devices is established. The
equivalent cycle model is established on the finite interval [0,T]. In the
model, reliability and maintenance costs are respectively as the objective
function, and the other one as the constraints. Then a variable cycle
preventive maintenance model is established, in which the average cost rate
is as the objective function, and reliability of each preventive interval as
the constraints. These preventive maintenance decision models can provide a
quantitative basis for decision making in maintenance activities. And ,
according to the failure frequency and maintenance costs of each engine
cylinder production line equipment, this article identify the key equipments
for maintenance. Using these key equipments as study object, make an
empirical study for these preventive maintenance decision models. Finally,
based on game theory, replacement policy for the engine cylinder production
line equipment is researched. This replacement model provides a more
systematic decision-making way for equipment replacement analysis. Providing
a new thinking method, it can be a reference available for maintenance staff.
Foreign Institutional Ownership and the Choice between Public and Private Debt
Authors: Hu Jinshuai , Mensah Albert Kwame , Tsang Albert
Published: February 2019

The objective of this study is to examine the role of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in firms' choice of debt. Using a large sample of firms from 40 countries, we find that FIIs are positively associated with the propensity of firms to access the public debt market and the subsequent issuance of new public debt. In contrast, we find no relationship between domestic institutional ownership and public debt. Our results are robust to various specifications, including a 2SLS regression model, a change model, a Heckman two-stage model and propensity score matching model, and a quasi-natural experiment using the exogenous relaxation of foreign equity restrictiveness. Cross-sectional tests further show that findings are stronger for firms with poorer accruals quality, with higher levels of information asymmetry, and firms domiciled in countries with weaker creditor protection. Collectively, our findings suggest that FIIs play a vital role in facilitating firms' public debt financing.

Authors: Rice Alec J. , Carrillo Roberto , Campbell Phillip M. , Taylor Reginald W. , Buschang Peter H.
Published: February 2019

Objectives:

To determine if posterior dental intrusion produces stable orthodontic and orthopedic corrections in growing retrognathic hyperdivergent patients.

Materials and Methods:

The sample included 14 subjects (five males and nine females), who were 13.4 ± 0.7 years pretreatment, treated for 3.5 years, and followed for 3.6 years posttreatment. During the initial orthopedic phase, 150 g NiTi coil springs were attached to two palatal miniscrew implants (MSIs) for maxillary intrusion; two buccal mandibular MSIs were used for posterior vertical control. Full orthodontic therapy was initiated to correct the malocclusions during the orthodontic phase. Patients were recalled a minimum of 1 year posttreatment (mean 3.6 ±1.6 years). Patients were compared to matched untreated controls.

Results:

Relative to the untreated controls, during treatment and retention, maxillary and mandibular molars underwent 2.8 mm and 3.7 mm of relative posterior intrusion, respectively. Maxillary incisors were extruded 1.3 mm and the mandibular incisors underwent 2.9 mm of relative intrusion. Overall orthopedic changes included a reduction in the mandibular plane angle (MPA; 3.3°), an increase in SN-Pg (2.4°), an increase in S-N-B (2.1°), and a 4.3 mm relative reduction in anterior facial height. The maxillary incisors, which showed 0.6 mm of intrusion (relative to controls), was the only dental or skeletal measure to show a statistically significant between-group posttreatment difference.

Conclusions:

Except for maxillary incisor position, the substantial dental intrusion and associated orthopedic corrections that were produced during treatment remained stable post-treatment.
A questão do si mesmo em Paul Ricoeur: duas tradições filosóficas

Paul Ricoeur (1913 – 2005) em sua discussão acerca do estatuto identitário observa o problema da ipseidade com bastante cautela dentro de algumas tradições filosóficas, assim, investigaremos o problema do si-mesmo dentro de duas heranças filosóficas: a) uma análise do “eu” exaltado em Descartes, enquanto um fundamento epistêmico; b) uma discussão acerca do “eu” enquanto uma mera ficção, tese essa desenvolvida por Nietzsche. Nossa proposta será mostrar o esforço de Ricoeur em livar o si mesmo tanto do Cogito quanto do anti-Cogito.

Published: February 2019

O capítulo inicial da Fenomenologia do Espírito, a Certeza Sensível, que trata fundamentalmente da crítica de Hegel à possibilidade de um saber imediato, isto é, de um saber não-representacional, foi e continua sendo alvo de debates relacionados aos autores com os quais Hegel ali discute, as teorias filosóficas de sua época por ele criticadas, assim como os problemas epistemológicas com que lida. Sem pretender colocar um ponto final neste debate, a intenção primordial deste artigo é abordar essa crítica de Hegel tendo como horizonte a recepção da filosofia do common sense na Alemanha e particularmente na figura que ela assume na obra Crítica da Filosofia Teórica de Gottlob Ernst Schulze, grande defensor de uma concepção imediata do conhecimento. Além disso, queremos também ressaltar a importância do ceticismo antigo para esse combate ao saber imediato apresentado na Fenomenologia.

Published: February 2019

Penentuan pejabat struktural setiap daerah mempunyai dinamika yang berbeda-beda, salah satunya adalah penentuan pejabat struktural di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Dimana Yogyakarta adalah satu-satunya provinsi yang mempunyai gubernur bukan berasal dari partai politik, hal inilah yang menjadikan dinamika penentuan pejabat struktural di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakrta dengan daerah lain berbeda. Dalam pelaksanaan penentuan pejabat struktural sangat rentan sekali terhadap factor -faktor politik ataupun factor patronage. Maka dari itu perlu pembenahan pada pelaksanaan proses rekruitmen pejabat struktural eselon II. Dengan adanya pembenahan system rekruitmen maka diharapkan pejabat struktural eselon II merupakan orang-orang pilihan yang mempunyai kompetensi dan integritas dalam menjalankan tugas. Dengan begitu maka akan tercipta pelayanan kepada masyarakat dengan baik karena penempatan pejabat struktural sesuai dengan kompetensi dan integritas masing-masing organisasi. Maka penggunaan metode merit system sangatlah tepat untuk proses rekuitmen pejabat struktural eselon II, sedangakan faktor yang bisa mempengaruhi penentuan pejabat struktural adalah faktor kompetensi, faktor prestasi kerja dan faktor penilaian secara objektif. Sedangkan untuk faktor kepentingan, faktor politik dan patronase tidak menjadi faktor penentu dalam pelaksanaan penentuan pejabat struktural di lingkungan Pemerintah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Dengan begitu menandakan bahwasannya pelaksnaan penentuan jabatan struktural di lingkungan pemerintah daerah istimewaa Yogyakarta sudah menggunakan merit system sehingga pejabat yang terpilih merupakan pejabat yang mempunyai kompetensi dan integritas untuk kepentingan public dan pelayanan public.

Évaluation du contenu et de l’exhaustivité de la législation provinciale et territoriale sur le bronzage artificiel au Canada
Authors: Gosselin Sydney , McWhirter Jennifer E.
Published: February 2019

Introduction

Les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux du Canada ont adopté des lois en réponse aux risques pour la santé liés au rayonnement ultraviolet émis par les appareils de bronzage. Ces lois, variables d’une administration à l’autre, réglementent le fonctionnement des établissements de bronzage. Leur contenu et leur exhaustivité – et les variations entre administrations – n’ayant pas encore été analysés, nous avons procédé, pour combler cette lacune, à une analyse de contenu systématique et exhaustive des lois et règlements provinciaux et territoriaux sur le bronzage artificiel et nous avons examiné divers renseignements supplémentaires sur le sujet.

Méthodologie

Nous avons recueilli l’information sur les mesures législatives dans la base de données de l’Institut canadien d’information juridique et nous avons effectué une analyse de contexte pour obtenir des renseignements supplémentaires. En nous fondant sur le contenu des lois, sur les travaux de recherche antérieurs et sur les recommandations des autorités sanitaires, nous avons élaboré un guide de codage à 59 variables. Nous avons également calculé des statistiques descriptives.

Résultats

Toutes les provinces et l’un des trois territoires ont adopté des lois réglementant le bronzage artificiel. Les points forts observés dans ces administrations sont des restrictions d’accès pour les jeunes (dans 11 cas), l’affichage d’avertissements (dans 11 cas), des sanctions (dans 11 cas) et des restrictions sur la publicité et le marketing ciblant les jeunes (dans 7 cas). Cependant, peu d’administrations mentionnent le port de lunettes de protection (4), le bronzage sans surveillance (4), les dispositions relatives à la fréquence des inspections (4), les allégations trompeuses en matière de santé dans les publicités destinées au grand public (2) et le dépistage des clients présentant un risque élevé (0).

Conclusion

Toutes les provinces et un territoire ont fait des progrès en réglementant l’industrie du bronzage artificiel, notamment en interdisant aux jeunes d’accéder à ces services et en imposant l’utilisation d’affiches pour avertir des risques. Il reste à combler les lacunes législatives afin de mieux protéger la population canadienne contre ce risque évitable de cancer de la peau.
At-a-glance - The impact of poisoning-related mortality on life expectancy at birth in Canada, 2000 to 2016
Authors: Orpana Heather , Lang Justin J. , George Diana , Halverson Jessica
Published: February 2019

Increases in opioid-related mortality have contributed to declines in life expectancy at birth in the United States and British Columbia. Canadian national mortality data from 2000 to 2016 were analyzed to determine the contribution of poisoning-related mortality to changes in life expectancy at birth by age group and sex. From 2000 to 2016, life expectancy at birth increased by almost three years; however, mortality due to unintentional poisonings, including those involving opioids, curbed this increase by 0.16 years. Although a national decrease in life expectancy at birth has not been observed in Canada during this period, current trends suggest that the national opioid overdose crisis will continue to attenuate gains to life expectancy.

Analysis of the Modified Construction of the Column Mechanism MacPherson
Authors: Kwietniewski Marek , Bil Tadeusz
Published: February 2019

The McPherson column name comes from the inventor of this Earle S. MacPherson solution, which was first manufactured at the Ford plant in 1949. This is one of the most commonly used types of front suspension in popular passenger cars. The advantage of this type of suspension is a compact construction, but the disadvantage is. The influence of the damping motion on the position of the steering wheel may result in an unintentional change of direction of travel. At the same time, there is a slight additional tilt of the wheels when the "spring" movement. In the proposed solution, partial elimination of this type of incorrectness is proposed by changing the type of connection of the steering rod end to the steering wheels of the vehicle. The introduced change consists in replacing one of the spherical joints in these joints into two rotary joints. Such a change introduces a mathematical model describing the behavior of the suspension under the influence of the depreciation of additional parameters. Proper selection of these parameters allows for significant reduction of unnecessary direction changes during driving. The described model of the structure of the mechanism allows to analyze the influence of all its dimensions on the selected parameters of the behavior of the wheels during the ride, resulting from the movement of the suspension and steering.

The study describes one aspect of the religious policy of the PRC’s government concerning Tibetan Buddhism. To develop Chinese national identity involving ethnic minorities, religious institutions should be coordinated to guarantee the loyalty to the government. If the government has an influence on the highest ranks of Tibetan Buddhism religious hierarchy, the State Administration for Religious Affairs executes its control over Tibetans recognizing the choice of religious leaders made by the state. Management Measures for the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas in Tibetan Buddhism have been adopted during the chairmanship of Hu Jintao and have established the legal and regulatory framework for reincarnation. One of the purposes of this order is to search for the next reincarnation of the Dalai Lama exclusively under the supervision of the Communist Party of China that will inevitably aggravate relations between the government of the PRC and the Central Tibetan Administration.

Helpless victims and brave heroes: the image of disabled people in Polish press

There are two dominant ways of portraying disabled people in the media – either as people needing help or heroes achieving the extraordinary (‘super-crips’). The article uses framing analysis in order to examine disability-related texts from two most-read Polish daily papers – “Fakt” and “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The aim of the study was to determine whether the two frames: disabled person as a helpless victim or a ‘super-crip’ are still the dominant ways of portraying disability and if there are any discrepancies in this respect between the two newspapers.
