By extending the basic time-varying structural VAR model, two structure orthogonal oil shocks can be gained by changing the time-varying state space matrix. Then, the net effects of positive and negative oil shocks are calculated by an accumulated contribution model and the rolling regression. Finally, the corresponding reasons for the conclusions are presented.","PeriodicalId":427481,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129746585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interference factors do not only contain measurement errors but also contain ambiguity of measuring concepts. Mixed data makes contiguous sample values be mixed up and also makes data curves vibrate strongly, which will produce unexpected sharp signals. It is required to smooth the sharp signals in order to weaken interference factors and enhance the curve'ssmoothness. In this paper a new fuzzy smoothing method is proposed by using the weighted mean idea. In addition, based on the expectation operator of fuzzy variables, a new method is presented to estimate the signal's average angle.","PeriodicalId":427481,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129640471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the stress is smaller than the fatigue limit, there will be no damage to the structure. The model uncertainty can not be disposed very well by the conventional fatigue reliability theory. Fuzzy math theory can be used to describe the model uncertainty. So, the fuzziness of structural fatigue problem is described in this paper and calculated by the fuzzy math theory. The \"cumulative damage -- critical damage \"dynamic interference model based on the Miner linear cumulative fatigue damage theory is established. Taking a nose landing gear as an example, the fatigue damage is predicted first through the fatigue analysis. The varying reliability along with the fatigue life of the landing gear can be obtained by the fuzzy math theory. The results show that the fuzzy fatigue reliability analysis has much more practicality and flexibility.","PeriodicalId":427481,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123810853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the method, the image is taken as a weighted undirected graph first. And then, after the relationships of grey-levels and positions in local regions are discussed via grey relational analysis, a grey weight matrix is established, based on which a grey partition function is constructed. Next, the image is binarized with the gray-level that corresponds to the minimum value of the grey partition function. Experimental results on visible light image and SAR image indicate that the proposed method, being superior to some existing methods like Otsu and Normalized Cut etc., not only can segment the images with obvious difference between targets and backgrounds, but also suppress image noise effectively.","PeriodicalId":427481,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134572902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the combined effect of intersection and a near-by bus stop, this paper investigates the lane-changing and dwelling behaviors in a two-lane mixed traffic and carries out the simulation by using a cellular automaton model under open boundary condition. Simulation results show that, for different proportions of bus flow over the total flow, the critical probabilities of sending vehicles into the system exist and have a decreasing trend with the bus flow proportion. Within the critical value, the traffic is the free flow state and the flow increases with the probability; on the other hand, beyond the critical value, the traffic is saturated. The results also demonstrate that, during rush hours, the queuing upstream the intersection may stretch to the bus stop and then disturb the normal dwelling operation of buses. It is necessary, hence, to adjust the position of signal light and the cycle time.","PeriodicalId":427481,"journal":{"name":"2010 Third International Joint Conference on Computational Science and Optimization","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131236957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
