Bilingual sentence alignment of pre-Qin history literature for digital humanities study
Sentence aligned bilingual text of history literature provides support of digital resources for related digital humanities studies, but existing studies have done little work on sentence alignment of ancient Chinese and English. In this study, we made a preliminary attempt to align the sentence of ancient Chinese and English. We used the bilingual text of the Analects of Confucius and Zuo's Commentaries of the Spring and Autumn Annals, extracted features and adopted the classification method to divide the bilingual candidate sentence pairs based on probability scores. The bilingual sentence alignment model based on SVM had the best performance on a larger amount of data when using three features and confirmed the impact of candidate dataset
Construction of Sly-miR393 Over-Expression Vector and Verification of Its Target Genes in Tomato
To understand the function of Sly-miR393 in tomato, the precursor sequences and potential target genes of Sly-miR393 were identificated from tomato genome database by computational homology search method. The Sly-miR393 gene was amplified from the genomic DNA by PCR and cloned into plant expression vector pLP35s-100. Sly-miR393 guided-cleavage to putative target transcripts was validated u sing 5RACE RT-PCR. In this study, our results indicated that the precursor sequence of Sly-miR393 contains the complete hairpin structure. TIR1/AFB auxin receptor genes contain recognition sites with high complementarities to Sly-miR393 sequence. In tomato, Sly-miR393 directs the cleavage of SlTIR1,SlTIR1-like1 and SlAFB mRNA, then auxin receptor homologous was validated to be as target of Sly-miR393. The pLP35s-pre-SlymiR393 vector containing Sly-miR393 gene was successfully constructed, which would provide significant evidence for further study of Sly-miR393 function in auxin signaling pathway in tomato
Cross-Scale Cost Aggregation for Stereo Matching
Human beings process stereoscopic correspondence across multiple scales.
However, this bio-inspiration is ignored by state-of-the-art cost aggregation
methods for dense stereo correspondence. In this paper, a generic cross-scale
cost aggregation framework is proposed to allow multi-scale interaction in cost
aggregation. We firstly reformulate cost aggregation from a unified
optimization perspective and show that different cost aggregation methods
essentially differ in the choices of similarity kernels. Then, an inter-scale
regularizer is introduced into optimization and solving this new optimization
problem leads to the proposed framework. Since the regularization term is
independent of the similarity kernel, various cost aggregation methods can be
integrated into the proposed general framework. We show that the cross-scale
framework is important as it effectively and efficiently expands
state-of-the-art cost aggregation methods and leads to significant
improvements, when evaluated on Middlebury, KITTI and New Tsukuba datasets.Comment: To Appear in 2013 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern

Optimal distributed generation planning in active distribution networks considering integration of energy storage
A two-stage optimization method is proposed for optimal distributed
generation (DG) planning considering the integration of energy storage in this
paper. The first stage determines the installation locations and the initial
capacity of DGs using the well-known loss sensitivity factor (LSF) approach,
and the second stage identifies the optimal installation capacities of DGs to
maximize the investment benefits and system voltage stability and to minimize
line losses. In the second stage, the multi-objective ant lion optimizer
(MOALO) is first applied to obtain the Pareto-optimal solutions, and then the
'best' compromise solution is identified by calculating the priority
memberships of each solution via grey relation projection (GRP) method, while
finally, in order to address the uncertain outputs of DGs, energy storage
devices are installed whose maximum outputs are determined with the use of
chance-constrained programming. The test results on the PG&E 69-bus
distribution system demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to other
current state-of-the-art approaches, and that the integration of energy storage
makes the DGs operate at their pre-designed rated capacities with the
probability of at least 60% which is novel.Comment: Accepted by Applied Energ
