In pattern classification, there may not exist labeled patterns in the target domain to train a classifier. Domain adaptation (DA) techniques can transfer the knowledge from the source domain with massive labeled patterns to the target domain for learning a classification model. In practice, some objects in the target domain are easily classified by this classification model, and these objects usually can provide more or less useful information for classifying the other objects in the target domain. So a new method called distribution adaptation based on evidence theory (DAET) is proposed to improve the classification accuracy by combining the complementary information derived from both the source and target domains. In DAET, the objects that are easy to classify are first selected as easy-target objects, and the other objects are regarded as hard-target objects. For each hard-target object, we can obtain one classification result with the assistance of massive labeled patterns in the source domain, and another classification result can be acquired based on the easy-target objects with confidently predicted (pseudo) labels. However, the weights of these classification results may vary because the reliabilities of the used information sources are different. The weights are estimated by mean difference reflecting the information source quality. Then, we discount the classification results with the corresponding weights under the framework of the evidence theory, which is expert at dealing with uncertain information. These discounted classification results are combined by an evidential combination rule for making the final class decision. The effectiveness of DAET for cross-domain pattern classification is evaluated with respect to some advanced DA methods, and the experiment results show DAET can significantly improve the classification accuracy.

The hill buildings sited on slopes have been widely constructed in mountainous regions. In order to estimate the seismic vulnerability of the hill buildings with uneven ground column heights under the effect of potential earthquakes, the exceedance probabilities of the hill buildings sited on different angle slopes in peak ground acceleration (PGA) are calculated and compared by using the incremental dynamic analysis method. The fragility curves show the slope angle has considerable influence on the seismic performance. Specifically, the exceedance probability increases with the increasing of the slope angle at the same performance level.

The hill buildings sited on slopes has been widely constructed in mountainous regions. In order to estimate the seismic vulnerability for this type of building under the effect of potential earthquakes, the exceedance probabilities of hill buildings and normal buildings in peak ground acceleration are calculated and compared by using the incremental dynamic analysis method. The fragility curves show the layout of hill buildings has considerable influence on the seismic performance. Specifically, due to the different layout for the hill buildings, the probabilistic characteristic at the collapse prevention level is significantly different from the characteristic of fragility curves at the initial performance level.

Atmospheric particulate matter pollution is of an important factor affecting air quality in urban area, particularly in those having diameter less than 2.5μm (PM2.5). PM2.5 was extensively concerned about their potential threat to human health due to strong adsorption to organic compounds and heavy metal. It has been found that most of the organics and heavy metals involved are toxic and would cause the respiratory diseases, while some are even genotoxic and carcinogenic. PM2.5 was also found a correlation with disease incidence and mortality increased. Therefore, PM2.5 pollution is becoming urgent environmental issue. It needs more and more researches paying more efforts to this work. This paper reviewed the characteristic distribution and hazard of PM2.5 and further discussed the formation mechanism, the source apportionment technology and component analysis methods.

In order to know more about the seismic behavior of structures supported by foundations with different locations, using the elastic and static elastic-plastic analysis method, the research is respectively from the aspects of the distribution characteristic of elastic inter-story displacement angle, the distribution law of story shear, and the distribution characteristic of elastic-plastic displacement angle and the sequence of plastic hinges. In the end, it is got that the characteristics of force and deformation of structures supported by foundations with different locations. It is found that the position of weak story would change along with the change of story stiffness. In order to guarantee the structures supported by foundations with different locations to have good seismic behavior, it needs to take the necessary internal force adjust measures and details of seismic design.

Alkali activated slag cement was a new green cementing material with many performances. Whereas, high viscosity and bad workability of the fresh mixture were the matters to embarrass its application. For exploring the special superplasticizer, the adsorption characteristics of surfactant on slag was studied, by UV Vis Absorption Spectrum Method. The results showed, first, the adsorbed amount of cationic surfactant [CH3(CH2)11N(CH3)3]Cl was the highest value among the five surfactants, 12.8 mg/g. Second, the effect of alkali on the adsorbed amount of surfactant was complex. Cationic surfactant had cooperativity with alkali. But, adding water glass, the adsorbed amounts of the surfactants on slag were negative, because it was both colloid property and alkali solution property. Finally, the retarder of YP-3 made the adsorbed amount of ionic surfactant to increase, due to YP-3 contracted electric double layer in the surface of slag.
