文摘Real-time prediction and precise control of sinter quality are pivotal for energy saving,cost reduction,quality improvement and efficiency enhancement in the ironmaking process.To advance,the accuracy and comprehensiveness of sinter quality prediction,an intelligent flare monitoring system for sintering machine tails that combines hybrid neural networks integrating convolutional neural network with long short-term memory(CNN-LSTM)networks was proposed.The system utilized a high-temperature thermal imager for image acquisition at the sintering machine tail and employed a zone-triggered method to accurately capture dynamic feature images under challenging conditions of high-temperature,high dust,and occlusion.The feature images were then segmented through a triple-iteration multi-thresholding approach based on the maximum between-class variance method to minimize detail loss during the segmentation process.Leveraging the advantages of CNN and LSTM networks in capturing temporal and spatial information,a comprehensive model for sinter quality prediction was constructed,with inputs including the proportion of combustion layer,porosity rate,temperature distribution,and image features obtained from the convolutional neural network,and outputs comprising quality indicators such as underburning index,uniformity index,and FeO content of the sinter.The accuracy is notably increased,achieving a 95.8%hit rate within an error margin of±1.0.After the system is applied,the average qualified rate of FeO content increases from 87.24%to 89.99%,representing an improvement of 2.75%.The average monthly solid fuel consumption is reduced from 49.75 to 46.44 kg/t,leading to a 6.65%reduction and underscoring significant energy saving and cost reduction effects.

文摘The real-time path optimization for heterogeneous vehicle fleets in large-scale road networks presents significant challenges due to conflicting traffic demands and imbalanced resource allocation.While existing vehicleto-infrastructure coordination frameworks partially address congestion mitigation,they often neglect priority-aware optimization and exhibit algorithmic bias toward dominant vehicle classes—critical limitations in mixed-priority scenarios involving emergency vehicles.To bridge this gap,this study proposes a preference game-theoretic coordination framework with adaptive strategy transfer protocol,explicitly balancing system-wide efficiency(measured by network throughput)with priority vehicle rights protection(quantified via time-sensitive utility functions).The approach innovatively combines(1)a multi-vehicle dynamic routing model with quantifiable preference weights,and(2)a distributed Nash equilibrium solver updated using replicator sub-dynamic models.The framework was evaluated on an urban road network containing 25 intersections with mixed priority ratios(10%–30%of vehicles with priority access demand),and the framework showed consistent benefits on four benchmarks(Social routing algorithm,Shortest path algorithm,The comprehensive path optimisation model,The emergency vehicle timing collaborative evolution path optimization method)showed consistent benefits.Results showthat across different traffic demand configurations,the proposed method reduces the average vehicle traveling time by at least 365 s,increases the road network throughput by 48.61%,and effectively balances the road loads.This approach successfully meets the diverse traffic demands of various vehicle types while optimizing road resource allocations.The proposed coordination paradigm advances theoretical foundations for fairness-aware traffic optimization while offering implementable strategies for next-generation cooperative vehicle-road systems,particularly in smart city deployments requiring mixed-priority mobility guarantees.
文摘Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration(ET)is crucial for efficient water resource management,particularly in the face of climate change and increasing water scarcity.This study performs a bibliometric analysis of 352 articles and a systematic review of 35 peer-reviewed papers,selected according to PRISMA guidelines,to evaluate the performance of Hybrid Artificial Neural Networks(HANNs)in ET estimation.The findings demonstrate that HANNs,particularly those combining Multilayer Perceptrons(MLPs),Recurrent Neural Networks(RNNs),and Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),are highly effective in capturing the complex nonlinear relationships and tem-poral dependencies characteristic of hydrological processes.These hybrid models,often integrated with optimization algorithms and fuzzy logic frameworks,significantly improve the predictive accuracy and generalization capabilities of ET estimation.The growing adoption of advanced evaluation metrics,such as Kling-Gupta Efficiency(KGE)and Taylor Diagrams,highlights the increasing demand for more robust performance assessments beyond traditional methods.Despite the promising results,challenges remain,particularly regarding model interpretability,computational efficiency,and data scarcity.Future research should prioritize the integration of interpretability techniques,such as attention mechanisms,Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations(LIME),and feature importance analysis,to enhance model transparency and foster stakeholder trust.Additionally,improving HANN models’scalability and computational efficiency is crucial,especially for large-scale,real-world applications.Approaches such as transfer learning,parallel processing,and hyperparameter optimization will be essential in overcoming these challenges.This study underscores the transformative potential of HANN models for precise ET estimation,particularly in water-scarce and climate-vulnerable regions.By integrating CNNs for automatic feature extraction and leveraging hybrid architectures,HANNs offer considerable advantages for optimizing water management,particularly agriculture.Addressing challenges related to interpretability and scalability will be vital to ensuring the widespread deployment and operational success of HANNs in global water resource management.

文摘The construction of“park cities”requires a systematic thinking to coordinate the networked development of park system and break through the limitation of emphasizing scale and grade and neglecting dynamic correlation in traditional planning.Taking Haidian District of Beijing as an example,the social network analysis method is introduced to construct the network model of park green spaces.Through indicators such as clustering coefficient,network density and node centrality,the characteristics of its spatial structure and hierarchical relationship are analyzed.It is found that the network integrity presents the characteristics of“highly local concentration and global fragmentation”,fragmented park green space network and missing spatial connection,isolated clusters and collaborative failure,as well as the spatial mismatch between population and resource supply and demand.Hierarchical issues include“structural imbalance and functional disorder”,disorder between network hierarchy and park level,misalignment of functional hierarchy leading to weakened network risk resistance capacity,and a relatively dense distribution of core nodes,etc.In response to the above problems,a multi-level spatial intervention strategy should be adopted to solve the overall problem of the network.Meanwhile,it is needed to clarify the positioning of a park itself and improve the hierarchical system,so as to construct a multi-level and multi-scale park green space network,contribute to the construction of a park city,and provide residents with more diverse activity venues.
文摘Space-division multiplexing(SDM)utilizing uncoupled multi-core fibers(MCF)is considered a promising candidate for nextgeneration high-speed optical transmission systems due to its huge capacity and low inter-core crosstalk.In this paper,we demonstrate a realtime high-speed SDM transmission system over a field-deployed 7-core MCF cable using commercial 400 Gbit/s backbone optical transport network(OTN)transceivers and a network management system.The transceivers employ a high noise-tolerant quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK)modulation format with a 130 Gbaud rate,enabled by optoelectronic multi-chip module(OE-MCM)packaging.The network management system can effectively manage and monitor the performance of the 7-core SDM OTN system and promptly report failure events through alarms.Our field trial demonstrates the compatibility of uncoupled MCF with high-speed OTN transmission equipment and network management systems,supporting its future deployment in next-generation high-speed terrestrial cable transmission networks.
文摘Cyber-Physical Systems integrated with information technologies introduce vulnerabilities that extend beyond traditional cyber threats.Attackers can non-invasively manipulate sensors and spoof controllers,which in turn increases the autonomy of the system.Even though the focus on protecting against sensor attacks increases,there is still uncertainty about the optimal timing for attack detection.Existing systems often struggle to manage the trade-off between latency and false alarm rate,leading to inefficiencies in real-time anomaly detection.This paper presents a framework designed to monitor,predict,and control dynamic systems with a particular emphasis on detecting and adapting to changes,including anomalies such as“drift”and“attack”.The proposed algorithm integrates a Transformer-based Attention Generative Adversarial Residual model,which combines the strengths of generative adversarial networks,residual networks,and attention algorithms.The system operates in two phases:offline and online.During the offline phase,the proposed model is trained to learn complex patterns,enabling robust anomaly detection.The online phase applies a trained model,where the drift adapter adjusts the model to handle data changes,and the attack detector identifies deviations by comparing predicted and actual values.Based on the output of the attack detector,the controller makes decisions then the actuator executes suitable actions.Finally,the experimental findings show that the proposed model balances detection accuracy of 99.25%,precision of 98.84%,sensitivity of 99.10%,specificity of 98.81%,and an F1-score of 98.96%,thus provides an effective solution for dynamic and safety-critical environments.
