    Local subspace identification of distributed homogeneous systems with general interconnection patterns

    Full text link
    This paper studies the local identification of large-scale homogeneous systemswith general network topologies. The considered local system identification problem involves unmeasurable signals between neighboring subsystems. Compared with our previous work in Yu et al. (2014) which solves the local identification of 1D homogeneous systems, the main challenge of this work is how to deal with the general network topology. To overcome this problem, we first decompose the interested local system into separate subsystems using some state, input and output transform, namely the spatially lifted local system has block diagonal system matrices.We subsequently estimate the Markov parameters of the local system by solving a nuclear norm regularized optimization problem. To realize the state-space system model from the estimated Markov parameters, another nuclear norm regularized optimization problem is provided by taking into account of the inherent dependence of a redundant parameter vector. Finally, the overall identification procedure is summarized.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Michel Verhaege

    Textbook of neonatal medicine : a Chinese perspective

    No full text
    This authoritative and comprehensive text is written by an internationally renowned group of medical experts of Chinese ethnic origin from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and six other countries. As a scientific and clinically practical review of current knowledge on medical care of normal and high-risk infants, this book covers the essentials of modern neonatal medicine. Conditions which are common or life-threatening have been selected for detailed description, while sufficient information is provided on uncommon or less serious problems to help gain an understanding of how they are best managed. A special emphasis has been put on describing experiences which are unique to Chinese infants. The 91 chapters reflect the personal interest and experience of the 77 contributors whose contemporary view and practical approach should prove useful for postgraduate trainees and specialists wishing to keep themselves up to date in neonatal medicinepublished_or_final_versionEditorsContributorsForewordsPrefaceIndex p8971 Organisation of Perinatal Care / Shoo K.

    Mechanical properties of SFRC: Database construction and model prediction

    No full text
    Dispersing steel fibers into plain concrete has been verified as an effective way to enhance the bearing capacity of structural components. To date, however, the effects of fibers on the basic mechanical properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and their uncertainties are not well documented and there are no accurate models that can predict their mechanical properties. This greatly limits the application in real constructions. Considering such a situation, three aspects of works were conducted in this study to alleviate that difficulty, those are, building test database and checking the statistical distribution, reviewing and assessing existing models, and establishing highly-accurate models applied to estimate the compressive, tension and flexural properties of SFRC. To achieve the first two goals, a large database containing 1038 experimental records was compiled from existing publications and 145 predictive expressions were collected from the available literature. The last object was obtained by conducting Bayesian model updating analysis. It was finally found from the present study that: (a) Steel fibers can effectively enhance plain concrete's compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, but induce greater variability in those indexes. That variability is well described with a lognormal probability distribution. (b) Expressions proposed by Abbass and by Padmarajaiah generally give the most accurate predictions for the compressive strength and elastic modulus, while the formulas of Chinese code JG/T472–2015 and Padmarajaiah give the most accurate tensile and flexural strengths. (c) Because of combining advantages of the experience of the prior model and the accuracy of the test records, Bayesian updating method based analytical model usually possesses an obviously high precision

    Learning discriminative region representation for person retrieval

    No full text
    Region-level representation learning plays a key role in providing discriminative information for person retrieval. Current methods rely on heuristically coarse-grained region strips or directly borrow pixel-level annotations from pretrained human parsing models for region representation learning. How to learn a discriminative region representation within fine-grained segments while avoiding expensive pixel-level annotations is rarely discussed. To that end, we introduce a novel identity-guided human region segmentation (HRS) method for person retrieval. Via learning a set of distinct region bases that are consistent across a given dataset, HRS can predict informative region segments by grouping intermediate feature vectors based on their similarity to these bases. The predicted segments are iteratively refined for discriminative region representation learning. HRS enjoys two advantages: (1) HRS learns region segmentation using only identity labels, making it a much more practical solution to person retrieval. (2) By jointly learning global appearance and local granularity cues, HRS enables a comprehensive feature representation learning. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed HRS on four challenging benchmark datasets of Market1501, DukeMTMC-reID, CUHK03, and Occluded-DukeMTMC. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance over the state-of-the-art region-based methods. For instance, on the CUHK03-labeled dataset, the performance increases from 74.1% mAP and 76.5% rank-1 accuracy to 81.5% ( +7 . 4 %) mAP and 83.2% ( +6 . 7 %) rank-1 accuracy.Yang Zhao, Xiaohan Yu, Yongsheng Gao, Chunhua She
