This paper proposes a linguistic fuzzy method to evaluate the reliability of emergency logistics system based on incomplete weight information. The proposed methodology involves two mechanisms: (1). Establish the fuzzy comment set about sub-criteria and criteria by linguistics information; (2). Compute the aggregated ratings of the criteria and the emergency logistics system reliability of emergency logistics alternative using the linguistic weighted averaging. Empirical results are given to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Aiming at the covering of the rough set attribute reduction and on the foundation of rough set model proposed by Zakowski, this paper builds a fuzzy similarity relation by using some properties of fuzzy sets. Moreover, we discuss the method of ascertaining fuzzy covering based on a family of fuzzy concepts, and propose the concept of fuzzy covering. The impact of precision change on coverings ascertained by fuzzy sets is analyzed. These results provide a foundation for the application of covering based rough set models to fuzzy attributes.

The paper presents both chrominance uniformity and color temperature compensation for RGB LED lighting illumination. A self-developed color optical sensing module and an integrating sphere were used to measure the color characteristics of LED pixels. Firstly, the transfer coefficients for each color measurement were calibrated. A calibrated sensing module was applied to inspect the color characteristics of 3 in 1 color LED modules. With the required target color chrominance or color temperature, the compensated RGB lighting ratio can be derived according to the mixed light formula associated with original RGB measurement. The experimental results from the 4×4 LEDs show that the deviation of white chrominance by using a 3 in 1 LED module is about 0.1001 before compensation, but the average color deviation is reduced to 0.002 and the average color temperature deviation is less than 71K after compensation by using the proposed method.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the major causes of blindness, and Hard Exudates (HEs) which are common and early clinical signs of DR. This paper presented a novel method to automatically detect HEs in color retinal images. We first extract HEs candidate regions by combining histogram segmentation with morphological reconstruction. Next, we define 44 significant features for each candidate region. A supervised support vector machine (SVM) is finally trained based on these features to classify the candidate regions for HEs. We evaluate the proposed method on the public DIARETDB1 database and achieve an sensitivity of 94.7% and an positive predictive value of 90.0%. Experimental results show that our method can produce reliable detection of HEs.

In this paper, the linear gaussian state space model is used to forecast the hourly electricity load. Since the weather variables have significant impacts on electricity demand, thus in our forecasting model, the weather variables are considered as explanatory variables and added to the state space model. The variance parameters of the linear gaussian state space are estimated by the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Given the estimated parameters, the linear gaussian state space is used to forecast the electricity load on two hours SAM and 14PM respectively. The result shows that this model has higher forecasting precision than the one to four days ahead forecasting, and the state space model estimated by Gibbs sampling algorithm has better performance than the model based on the MH algorithm.

For the problem of imbalanced data classification which was not discussed in the standard Extreme Support Vector Machines (ESVM), an imbalanced extreme support vector machines (IESVM) was proposed. Firstly, a preliminary normal vector of separating hyperplane is obtained directly by geometric analysis. Secondly, penalty factors are obtained which are based on the information provided by data sets projecting onto the preliminary normal vector. Finally, the final separation hyperplane is got through the improved ESVM training. IESVM can overcome disadvantages of traditional designing methods which only consider the imbalance of samples size and can improve the generalization ability of ESVM. Experimental results show that the method can effectively enhance the classification performance on imbalanced data sets.

Digital watermarking has emerged as a leading technique for copyright protection or authentication of multimedia data. It is known that there is a trade off between the imperceptibility and robustness of a digital watermarking scheme. Trying to deal with this problem, an adaptive improved singular value decomposition-based watermarking method by applying local image statistics and the genetic algorithm is presented. The local image statistics can be used not only to measure the perceptibility of watermarks once they are embedded, but also to control the perceptibility during the embedding process. Watermarking components with proper strength factors are the most critical aspect in the whole process and the genetic algorithm is employed to find the appropriate watermarking strength factors. Experimental results confirm the imperceptibility of the proposed method and its robustness against a variety of image-processing attacks.

Large coal-fired power unit is a complex nonlinear system with more uncertainties to describe, evaluate and optimize. It is essential and difficult to determine the optimal targets in operation optimization of power units, especially considering the boundary constraints, operation conditions and system features. Fuzzy rough set (FRS)-based decision table reduction was introduced to clean the historian operation data efficiently without information losses. The result shows that the derived energy consumption decision rules can be used to determine the optimal targets quickly and dynamically for different boundary and operation conditions. It makes significant reference and promising prospects in energy-consumption diagnosis and operation optimization of power units.

In recent years, an intelligent micro-grid system composed of renewable energy sources is becoming one of the interesting research topics. The success design of long-term load forecasting (LTLF) enables the intelligent micro-grid system to manipulate an optimized loading and unloading control by measuring the electrical supply for achieving the best economical and power efficiency. In this study, intelligent forecasting structures via a similar time method with historical load change rates are developed based on the basic frameworks of fuzzy neural network (FNN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). In the regulative aspect of network parameters, conventional back-propagation (BP) and PSO tuning algorithms are used, and varied learning rates are designed in the sense of discrete-time Lyapunov stability theory. The performance comparisons of different intelligent forecasting structures including neural network (NN) structure with BP tuning algorithm (NN-BP), FNN structure with BP tuning algorithm (FNN-BP), FNN structure with BP tuning algorithm and varied learning rates (FNN-BP-V), FNN structure with PSO tuning algorithm (FNN-PSO) and PSO structure are given by numerical simulations of a real case in Taiwan campus.
