Basic Study of an Intellectual Agent Implementation for Scheduling Labor Reduction
publisherIn order to improve a quality of communication, we study a system to automate a personal schedule. The central part of the scheduling system is implemented as an intelligent agent build by a hybrid system with production and frame systems. The system is built as a Web system using the open source software such as Ruby, PostgreSQL, FreeBSD. We confirm that the basic operation of a scheduling generation is confirmed for sample tasks.departmental bulletin pape
Optimal stomatal behaviour around the world
© 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. Stomatal conductance (g s) is a key land-surface attribute as it links transpiration, the dominant component of global land evapotranspiration, and photosynthesis, the driving force of the global carbon cycle. Despite the pivotal role of g s in predictions of global water and carbon cycle changes, a global-scale database and an associated globally applicable model of g s that allow predictions of stomatal behaviour are lacking. Here, we present a database of globally distributed g s obtained in the field for a wide range of plant functional types (PFTs) and biomes. We find that stomatal behaviour differs among PFTs according to their marginal carbon cost of water use, as predicted by the theory underpinning the optimal stomatal model and the leaf and wood economics spectrum. We also demonstrate a global relationship with climate. These findings provide a robust theoretical framework for understanding and predicting the behaviour of g s across biomes and across PFTs that can be applied to regional, continental and global-scale modelling of ecosystem productivity, energy balance and ecohydrological processes in a future changing climate
Edge-Based Image Synthesis Model and Its Synthesis Function Design by the Wavelet Transform
In this paper, a new image synthesis model based on a set of wavelet bases is proposed. In the proposed model, images are approximated by the sum of synthesis functions that are translated to image edge positions. By applying the proposed model to sketch-based image coding, no iterative image recovery procedure is required for image decoding. In the design of the synthesis functions, we define the synthesis functions as a linear combination of wavelet bases. The coefficients for wavelet bases are obtained from an iterative procedure. The vector quantization is applied to the vectors of the coefficients to limit the number of the synthesis functions. We apply the proposed synthesis model to the sketch-based image coding. Image coding experiments by eight synthesis functions and a comparison with the orthogonal transform methods are also given.journal articl
