In this paper we present a fast and efficient match algorithm, which consists of two key techniques: Spectral Correlation Based Feature Merge(SCBFM) and Two-Step Retrieval(TSR). SCBFM can remove the redundant information. In consequence, the resulting feature sequence has a smaller size, requiring less storage and computation. In addition, most of the tempo variation is removed; thus a much sim...

The aim of this study was to develop a simple and rapid method based on colorimetric sensor array (CSA) for evaluation of warmed-over flavour (WOF) in cooked chicken. All samples were classified according to storage time by CSA coupled with principle component analysis (PCA) or hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). The CSA data were used to establish prediction models with thiobarbituric acid re...

Recently two kinds of HSS-based iteration methods to solve the absolute value equation (AVE) are proposed. In present paper, we focus on developing the CSCSbased methods for solving the absolute value equation (AVE) involving the Toeplitz structure, and propose the Picard-CSCS method and the nonlinear CSCS-like iterative method. With the help of introducing a smoothing approximate function, we ...

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) hydrogen storage systems offer many advantages for hydrogen storage applications. The physical processes nside a NaBH4 packed bed reactor involve multi-component and multi-phase flow and multi-mode heat and mass transfer. These processes are lso coupled with reaction kinetics. To guide reactor design and optimization, a reactor model involving all of these processes i...

Recently, two families of HSS-based iteration methods are constructed for solving the system of absolute value equations (AVEs), which is a class of non-differentiable NP-hard problems. In this study, we establish the Picard-CSCS iteration method and the nonlinear CSCS-like iteration method for AVEs involving the Toeplitz matrix. Then, we analyze the convergence of the Picard-CSCS iteration met...

Puncture force and energy were measured at different loading velocities and probe diameters for two cultivars of sea buckthorn berries of various sizes at several ambient temperatures. In addition to the puncture properties, the firmness-temperature coefficient, the compression coefficient (Kc), shear coefficient (Ks), and the apparent modulus of elasticity were determined. The tests showed tha...

The cytoplasm of red blood cells is congested with the oxygen storage protein hemoglobin occupying a quarter of the cell volume. The high protein concentration leads to a reduced mobility; the self-diffusion coefficient of hemoglobin in blood cells is six times lower than in dilute solution. This effect is generally assigned to excluded volume effects in crowded media. However, the collective o...

A heat pump with thermal storage system is a system that operates a heat pump during night-time using inexpensive electricity; during this time, the generated thermal energy is stored in a thermal storage tank. The stored thermal energy is used by the heat pump during daytime. Based on a model of a dual latent heat storage tank and a heat pump, this study conducts control simulations using both...
