Detection for Dangerous Goods Vehicles in Expressway Service Station Based on Surveillance Videos by Kai Huang, Qinpei Zhao

“…Finally, we mark the detection result in the aerial view surveillance model and then use that model to monitor the service station in real time. Experiments show that our aerial view surveillance model can achieve the real-time detection of dangerous goods vehicles in the main areas of the service station, thereby effectively reducing the workload of the monitoring personnel.…”

Modeling the Dynamics of a Single-Species Model with Pollution Treatment in a Polluted Environment by Bing Liu, Shi Luan, Yinghui Gao

“…Without any question, environmental pollution is the main cause for the species extinction in recent times. In this paper, based on impulsive differential equation, the dynamics of a single-species model with impulsive pollution treatment at fixed time in a polluted environment is considered, in which we assume that the species is directly affected by the pollutants. …”

Otsu Based Optimal Multilevel Image Thresholding Using Firefly Algorithm by N. Sri Madhava Raja, V. Rajinikanth, K. Latha

“…The performance assessment comparison between the proposed and existing firefly algorithms is carried using prevailing parameters such as objective function, standard deviation, peak-to-signal ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM) index, and search time of CPU. The results show that BD guided FA provides better objective function, PSNR, and SSIM, whereas LF based FA provides faster convergence with relatively lower CPU time.…”

Improved Results on Fuzzy H∞ Filter Design for T-S Fuzzy Systems by Jiyao An, Guilin Wen, Wei Xu

“…The fuzzy H∞ filter design problem for T-S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delay is investigated. The delay is considered as the time-varying delay being either differentiable uniformly bounded with delay derivative in bounded interval or fast varying (with no restrictions on the delay derivative). …”

Regulatory impact assessment and “regulatory guillotine” as institutional forms of business community’s participation in the improvement of regulatory framework in Russia by A. A. Lialikov

“…The implementation of the procedures contributes to the transparency of the public administration system of Russia, ensuring the development of institutions for the participation of industry experts on the part of the business community in decision-making on issues of regulatory framework. At the same time, the mechanism of the “regulatory guillotine” has a higher degree of influence on the process of approval of draft normative legal acts, but at the same time it is less representative than the regulatory impact assessment procedure.…”
