Label iteration-based clustering ensemble algorithm by HE Yulin, YANG Jin, HUANG Zhexue, YIN Jianfei

“…The experimental results showed that the normalized mutual information, adjusted Rand index, Fowlkes-Mallows index and purity of LICE algorithm increased by 17.23%, 16.75%, 31.29%, and 12.37% on average at the 5th iteration compared to the initial iteration and these four indexes increased by 11.76%, 16.50%, 9.36%, and 14.20% on average for the representative datasets in comparison with seven state-of-the-art clustering ensemble algorithms and thus demonstrate that LICE algorithm is an efficient and reasonable clustering ensemble algorithm with the potential to handle large-scale data clustering problems.…”

Displacement-Based Back-Analysis of the Model Parameters of the Nuozhadu High Earth-Rockfill Dam by Yongkang Wu, Huina Yuan, Bingyin Zhang, Zongliang Zhang, Yuzhen Yu

“…Good agreement between the numerical results and the monitoring data was obtained for most observation points, which implies that the back-analysis method and decoupling method are effective for solving complex problems with multiple models and parameters. The comparison of calculation results based on different sets of back-analyzed model parameters indicates the necessity of taking the effects of creep and wetting into consideration in the numerical analyses of high earth-rockfill dams. …”

Evolution, Characteristics and Inspirations of Management Zoning for National Parks in the United States by Zhenwei ZHANG, Hanyue XIAO, Yankang MAO

“…In addition, this research analyzes the nine characteristics of the management zoning for national parks in the United States: 1) Functional attribute of zoning — transform from functional zoning to comprehensive control zoning; 2) functional characteristics of zoning — most zones are similar to China’s main functional zone, rather than the restricted red line zone; 3) functional goal of zoning — strive to achieve the dual balance of “protection − utilization”; 4) zoning policies are of flexibility and complete; 5) zoning is based on the dynamic adaptive management theory; 6) zoning should be supported by a more comprehensive and systematic policy system; 7) zoning must be based on a scientific and rigorous policy system; 8) different designation areas and autonomous zoning composed its rigid and flexible frame; 9) zoning may be deduced through the comparison of multiple scenaro.ConclusionChina’s national park zoning should be regarded as a technical method relying on management rules, for which the system development should be strengthened. …”
