Monitoring their spatio-temporal changes plays an important role in controlling and preventing the effects of coal fires, and their environmental impact. In this study, the spatio-temporal changes of underground coal fires in Khanh Hoa coal field(North-East of Viet Nam) were analyzed using Landsat time-series data during the 2008-2016 period. Based on land surface temperatures retrieved from Landsat thermal data, underground coal fires related to thermal anomalies were identified using the MEDIAN+1.5×IQR(IQR: Interquartile range) threshold technique. The locations of underground coal fires were validated using a coal fire map produced by the field survey data and cross-validated using the daytime ASTER thermal infrared imagery. Based on the fires extracted from seven Landsat thermal imageries, the spatiotemporal changes of underground coal fire areas were analyzed. The results showed that the thermalanomalous zones have been correlated with known coal fires. Cross-validation of coal fires using ASTER TIR data showed a high consistency of 79.3%. The largest coal fire area of 184.6 hectares was detected in 2010, followed by 2014(181.1 hectares) and 2016(178.5 hectares). The smaller coal fire areas were extracted with areas of 133.6 and 152.5 hectares in 2011 and 2009 respectively. Underground coal fires were mainly detected in the northern and southern part, and tend to spread to north-west of the coal field.展开更多

However, the complexity and uncertainty of the scheduling problem severely limit algorithms. To bypass this circumvent, numerous algorithms have been proposed. The Hiking Optimization Algorithm (HOA) have been used in multiple fields. However, HOA suffers from local optimization, slow convergence, and low efficiency of late iteration search when solving cloud task scheduling problems. Thus, this paper proposes an improved HOA called CMOHOA. It collaborates with multi-strategy to improve HOA. Specifically, Chebyshev chaos is introduced to increase population diversity. Then, a hybrid speed update strategy is designed to enhance convergence speed. Meanwhile, an adversarial learning strategy is introduced to enhance the search capability in the late iteration. Different scenarios of scheduling problems are used to test the CMOHOA’s performance. First, CMOHOA was used to solve basic cloud computing task scheduling problems, and the results showed that it reduced the average total cost by 10% or more. Secondly, CMOHOA has been applied to edge fog cloud scheduling problems, and the results show that it reduces the average total scheduling cost by 2% or more. Finally, CMOHOA reduced the average total cost by 7% or more in scheduling problems for information transmission.展开更多

Rhacophorus hoabinhensis sp. nov. is distinguishable from its congeners on the basis of a combination of the following morphological characters： size small （SVL 31.1-32.5 mm in males）; head slightly longer than wide; vomerine teeth absent; snout short （SNL/SVL 0.16）; dorsal skin smooth; forearm and tarsus with dermal fringes; dermal appendage at vent present; webbing formula on fingers I12/3-12/3II1-2III1-1IV and on toes I3/4-1II1/2- IIII1/2-1IVI-1/2V; dorsal surface grey yellow with brown spots; lower jaw region dark grey, throat, chest and belly cream; anterior and posterior thighs, as well as ventral surface of tibia orange. The interspecific uncorrected genetic distances （16S rRNA gene） between the new species from Hoa Binh and other analyzed congeners varied from 9.8% to 17.4%. In the phylogenetic analyses, the new species revealed to be a representative of Rhacophorus and was nested within the R. hoanglienensis-orlovi species group.展开更多

The proposed algorithm includes two phases: a self-searching phase and a guide-searching phase. With these two phases, the exploration and exploitation abilities of the algorithm can be balanced. Both the constrained and unconstrained benchmark functions are employed to test the performance of HOA. Ten classic benchmark functions are considered as unconstrained benchmark functions. Meanwhile, two engineering design optimization problems are employed as constrained benchmark functions. The results of these experiments demonstrate HOA is efficient and capable of global optimization.展开更多
