Reflection on the Experiences of US and European Automobile Industry to Hubei’s Future Development
Surpassing the US in car sales in 2009. China has, since the world financial crisis, been showing big potential while US automobiles industry under complete depression. Green car, which has long been popular in European countries such as Belgium, has therefore become a key for the revival of the world car industry. As one of the three major automobile bases in China, how can Hubei benefit from the current challenge and development opportunity in the pro-crisis era?Key words: Saving and new energy vehicles; US automobile; decay; European “green” plastics; Hubei; developmen
Application of Poly (vinylbutyral) Nanocomposites in Environment Design
This text passed an adoption to totally mix a method to lead to make even PVB/SiO2 compound material into the nano SiO2 grain son in gather the PVB material.. With the UV-VIS, FT-IR, XRD, SEM etc. modern tested means token tiny view facial look, structure and optics function of material. Result enunciation:because the lead of the nano SiO2 grain son go into and make the compound material of the PVB/SiO2 have good ultraviolet rays to shield function; Meanwhile, the tenacity of material gets an obvious exaltation, it splits an elongation rate is 8 times than the for pure PVB material. Key words: nanocomposite; mixing process; nanometer silica; environment desig
Modification of the AdaBoost-based Detector for Partially Occluded Faces
While face detection seems a solved problem under general conditions, most state-of-the-art systems degrade rapidly when faces are partially occluded by other objects. This paper presents a solution to detect partially occluded faces by reasonably modifying the AdaBoost-based face detector. Our basic idea is that the weak classifiers in the AdaBoost-based face detector, each corresponding to a Haar-like feature, are inherently a patch-based model. Therefore, one can divide the whole face region into multiple patches, and map those weak classifiers to the patches. The weak classifiers belonging to each patch are re-formed to be a new classifier to determine if it is a valid face patch—without occlusion. Finally, we combine all of the valid face patches by assigning the patches with different weights to make the final decision whether the input subwindow is a face. The experimental results show that the proposed method is promising for the detection of occluded faces. 1
An Efficient and Secure Arbitrary N-Party Quantum Key Agreement Protocol Using Bell States
Two quantum key agreement protocols using Bell states and Bell measurement
were recently proposed by Shukla et al.(Quantum Inf. Process. 13(11),
2391-2405, 2014). However, Zhu et al. pointed out that there are some security
flaws and proposed an improved version (Quantum Inf. Process. 14(11),
4245-4254, 2015). In this study, we will show Zhu et al.'s improvement still
exists some security problems, and its efficiency is not high enough. For
solving these problems, we utilize four Pauli operations {I, Z, X, Y } to
encode two bits instead of the original two operations {I,X} to encode one bit,
and then propose an efficient and secure arbitrary N-party quantum key
agreement protocol. In the protocol, the channel checking with decoy single
photons is introduced to avoid the eavesdropper's flip attack, and a
post-measurement mechanism is used to prevent against the collusion attack. The
security analysis shows the present protocol can guarantee the correctness,
security, privacy and fairness of quantum key agreement.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Bright 22 m Excess Candidates from WISE All-Sky Catalog and Hipparcos Main Catalog
In this paper we present a catalog which includes 141 bright candidates
( mag, V band) showing the infrared (IR) excess at 22 m. Of
which, 38 stars are known IR excess stars or disk, 23 stars are double or
multiple stars and 4 are Be stars. While the remaining more than 70 stars are
identified as the 22 m excess candidates in our work. The criterion of
selecting candidates is . All these candidates are selected
from \emph{WISE} All-sky data cross-correlated with \emph{Hipparcos} Main
Catalog and the likelihood-ratio technique is employed. Considering the effect
of background, we introduce the \emph{IRAS} 100 m level to exclude the
high background. We also estimated the coincidence probability of these
sources. In addition, we presented the optical to mid-infrared SEDs and optical
images of all the candidates, and gave the observed optical spectra of 6 stars
with NAOC's 2.16-m telescope. To measure for the dust amount around each star,
the fractional luminosity is also provided. We also test whether our method of
selecting IR excess stars can be used to search for extra-solar planets, we
cross-matched our catalog with known IR-excess stars having planets but none is
matched. Finally, we give the fraction of stars showing IR-excess for different
spectral type of main-sequence stars.Comment: 45 pages, 16 figures, 4 tables. Accepted for publication in ApJ
