Gluon saturation and pseudo-rapidity distributions of charged hadrons at RHIC energy regions
We modified the gluon saturation model by rescaling the momentum fraction
according to saturation momentum and introduced the Cooper-Frye hydrodynamic
evolution to systematically study the pseudo-rapidity distributions of final
charged hadrons at different energies and different centralities for Au-Au
collisions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion
Collider (RHIC). The features of both gluon saturation and hydrodynamic
evolution at different energies and different centralities for Au-Au collisions
are investigated in this paper.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
A conceptual framework for interactive virtual storytelling
This paper presents a framework of an interactive storytelling system. It can integrate five components: management centre, evaluation centre, intelligent virtual agent, intelligent virtual environment, and users, making possible interactive solutions where the communication among these components is conducted in a rational and intelligent way. Environment plays an important role in providing heuristic information for agents through communicating with the management centre. The main idea is based on the principle of heuristic guiding of the behaviour of intelligent agents for guaranteeing the unexpectedness and consistent themes
A smart performance measurement approach for collaborative design in Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, focuses on intelligent and smart manufacturing. This article investigates a smart design performance measurement approach, which can be utilized to support performance measurement implementation during a collaborative design process. First, we develop a smart product design framework with Industry 4.0 enabling technologies to support key design stages in an iterative fashion. Second, based on this framework, we propose a smart design performance measurement approach to potentially support a smart product design project management via its performance management. Third, we adapt our existing design performance measurement, for a traditional design environment into a smart design environment at its early stage to test its feasibility. This approach features integration of a flexible performance measurement setup, a multi-feedback design performance measurement mechanism and a multiple design performance measurement results presentation which allows the design performance measurement approach to produce flexible and customized operations by connecting design performance measurement with the stage-based design objectives, balancing design performance measurement feedbacks through interoperability between collaborative design team members and providing real-time design performance measurement results to guide design activities. An empirical industrial evaluation case study indicates that the proposed design performance measurement approach can support design team members in improving their collaborative design performance
Exploring local regularities for 3D object recognition
In order to find better simplicity measurements for 3D object recognition, a new set of local regularities is developed and tested in a stepwise 3D reconstruction method, including localized minimizing standard deviation of angles(L-MSDA), localized minimizing standard deviation of segment magnitudes(L-MSDSM), localized minimum standard deviation of areas of child faces (L-MSDAF), localized minimum sum of segment magnitudes of common edges (L-MSSM), and localized minimum sum of areas of child face (L-MSAF). Based on their effectiveness measurements in terms of form and size distortions, it is found that when two local regularities: L-MSDA and L-MSDSM are combined together, they can produce better performance. In addition, the best weightings for them to work together are identified as 10% for L-MSDSM and 90% for L-MSDA. The test results show that the combined usage of L-MSDA and L-MSDSM with identified weightings has a potential to be applied in other optimization based 3D recognition methods to improve their efficacy and robustness
Chiral magnetic currents with QGP medium response in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies
We calculate the electromagnetic current with a more realistic approach in
the RHIC and LHC energy regions in the article. We take the partons formation
time as the initial time of the magnetic field response of QGP medium. The
maximum electromagnetic current and the time-integrated current are two
important characteristics of the chiral magnetic effect (CME), which can
characterize the intensity and duration of fluctuations of CME. We consider the
finite frequency response of CME to a time-varying magnetic field, find a
significant impact from QGP medium feedback, and estimate the generated
electromagnetic current as a function of time, beam energy and impact
parameter.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figur
