In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the dissolved oxygen in Litopenaeus vannamei aquaculture ponds, a dissolved oxygen prediction model based on deep belief network (DBN) model and least squares support vector regression (LSSVR) was proposed. First, the DBNs were employed using ex- traction feature vectors of time series water quality data. Then, the feature vector as a training and test set for DBN-LSSVR model training and optimization. The combinations of the best parameters were obtained automatically after the optimization, which construct the nonlinear prediction model between the dissolved oxygen and the impact factors. Finally, validation and comparative analysis of the model were carried out using the measured data in Panyu district, Guangzhou. The proposed prediction model of DBN-LSSVR had high prediction accuracy and generalization ability, and it was a suitable and effective method for predicting dissolved oxygen in intensive density Litopenaeus vannamei culture.

In order to realize monitoring of cow health in real-time, a cow health detecting system based on STC12CSA60S2 microcontroller was presented. The system consisted of three parts, the lower comput- er which was based on MCU detection device, software on upper computer which was based on LabVIEW program and network server which was based on FTP ( File Transfer Protocol). To detect dairy health pa- rameters of cows, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor and a motion sensor were used and the control core of lower computer adopted STC12CSA60S2 MCU. The lower computer concerned with upper com- puter and exchanged data with selectable mode, the serial port or WiFi. The software on upper computer was programmed by LabVIEW virtual instrument technology and concerned with lower computer in TCP (Transfer Control Protocol) for communicating and controlling. The health data was calculated with algo- rithm for diagnosing on upper computer and simple result for health was obtained and displayed. The net- work server was built up on a dedicated server computer and provided data services to the system through the FFP. The results of system testing were shown that validity of the detection data of the lower computer was 75% at most, the correct rate of the serial port transmission was 92% and rate of WiFi was 80% in indoor environment. To the upper computer, correct rate to exchange data with server service was 99% and the algorithm depends on the experience database was effective. The data of simulating test for the system were from ten cows with random selection and their heart rate, body temperature and motion meas-ures were detected with the system. The average body temperature and heart rate of 10 cows were 34. 5℃ and 63 times/min, the average motion measures were 163 times/min in daytime and 47 times/min in night time. The average data of 10 cows were get " health, reliability rate: 88% " after calculating thought the algorithm. It was applied, well worth to extension and hopefully to be reference for sim

To observe the effects of 1-Naphthylacetic acid (NAA) and Ethephon (Eth) on germination and growth of litchi (Litch chinensis Sonn. ) pollen, NAA and Eth were added at a certain concentration respectively in basic medium, two varieties different batches of pollen to Nuomici and Guiwei were cul- tured and the pollen germination rate and pollen tube length were determined. The results showed that NAA promoted different batches of pollen germ/nation and pollen tube growth of Nuomici and Guiwei, but the suitable concentration of pollen germination and pollen tube growth in different batches of two varieties of litehi was different. The suitable mass concentration of NAA for second batches of pollen germination was 1.0 - 3.0 mg/L, and that for pollen tube growth was 0.5 - 3.0 mg/L. Low concentration of Eth pro- moted pollen germination and pollen tube growth in different batches of two Litchi euhivars. The appro- priate concentrations of Eth to promote second batch of pollen germination of Nuomici and Guiwei were 1.0-5.0 and 10.0 mg/L, respectively, the suitable concentration of second batch of promoting pollen tube growth of Nuomici and Guiwei was 1.0 mg/L. High concentration (20. 0 mg/L) Eth inhibited the germination and tube growth of different batches of pollen in two Litchi cultivars. The results suggested that NAA and Eth could promote the germination and pollen tube growth of litchi pollen, and the suitable concentration for pollen germination and growth between different batches of pollen was different.

Show Abstract ( 902 )
A new algorithm based on double compression, which was called as Apriori double compres- sion (Apriori_ DC ) , was proposed, according to the performance bottleneck problem of Apriori algorithm. Two ways were used to improve performance: the transaction database was continually compressed to re- duce the transaction record and the total item in the database ; the number of the next candidate frequent item set was to reduce by compressing the frequent item set. The experiments showed that Apriori_ DC al- gorithm had better performance than Apriori algorithm when the support ratio was the same and the record number of the database was different or the record number of the database was the same and the support ratio was different. The experiment also showed that the record number of the database was continually reduced during the execution of the Apriori_ DC algorithm.

Show Abstract ( 873 )
It was easy to fall into local optimum when using conventional quantum genetic algorithm to solved continuous function optimization. In order to surmount the above drawback, an improved multi-po- pulation quantum genetic algorithm (IMPQGA) was proposed. The algorithm divided the initial popula- tion into N sub population. Each population had updated itself respectively according to the different quantum rotation gate strategies, and then had exchanged the optimal individuals with the next sub popu- lation. At the same time, in order to jump out of local optimum in time and avoided premature conver- gence, a novel quantum rotation gate was introduced to dynamically adjust the chromosome evolution di- rection with the increasing number of evolution generation. The simulation results showed that IMPQGA had better optimization performance with the multi population quantum genetic algorithm ( MPQGA ). Compared with the conventional quantum genetic algorithm (QGA).

It was arranged canopy structures on both the north and south side of the main station building in Guangzhou South Railway Station (GSRS). Each canopy's roof has a plane area of 421.8 m × 189. 6 m. There were six continuous cross arch shells that formed the canopy in a shape of the Japanese banana's leaf. These two canopy structures of GSRS were consisted of cable-arc, truss and forked special-shaped column. A new type of cable-arc structure had been used, in which the inhaul cable and the body of the arch shell were bended in the same direction. It had a graceful shape, good stability and good wind-re- sistant performance. The most difficult and important points of the design and construction wsa its pre- stress and arch join node. The construction and design process of the canopy structure were introduced in this paper, and an analysis on the working principle of the pre-stress of cable-arch structure was done. It had a valuable reference for those who's going to design and construct a big space structure.

Show Abstract ( 878 )
Choosing reasonable fresh agricultural products suppliers was of great significance to reduce the risk of shortage, reduce costs and improve the quality and safety of products. For the selection of fresh agricultural product supplier with linguistic assessment information, a new selection method was pro- posed based on the perspective of loss aversion. Firstly, an evaluation index system of supplier was estab- lished according to the characteristics of fresh agricultural products. Secondly, the calculation method of loss / gain was given to establish the loss / gain utility function on the base of it. Afterwards the projec- tion method was adopted to rank and select the alternative suppliers. Lastly, an example was used to il- lustrate the scientific and the operation process of the proposed method. The new method had provided new ideas and ways for the selection of fresh agricultural products suppliers.
