The characteristics, causes, and impacts of this extreme event have been widely explored, but its seasonal predictability remains elusive. This study assessed the real-time one-month-lead prediction skill of the summer 2022 YRV heatwaves using 12operational seasonal forecast systems. Results indicate that most individual forecast systems and their multi-model ensemble(MME) mean exhibited limited skill in predicting the 2022 YRV heatwaves. Notably, after the removal of the linear trend, the predicted 2-m air temperature anomalies were generally negative in the YRV, except for the Met Office Glo Sea6 system, which captured a moderate warm anomaly. While the models successfully simulated the influence of La Ni?a on the East Asian–western North Pacific atmospheric circulation and associated YRV temperature anomalies, only Glo Sea6 reasonably captured the observed relationship between the YRV heatwaves and an atmospheric teleconnection extending from the North Atlantic to the Eurasian mid-to-high latitudes. Such an atmospheric teleconnection plays a crucial role in intensifying the YRV heatwaves. In contrast, other seasonal forecast systems and the MME predicted a distinctly different atmospheric circulation pattern, particularly over the Eurasian mid-to-high latitudes, and failed to reproduce the observed relationship between the YRV heatwaves and Eurasian mid-to-high latitude atmospheric circulation anomalies.These findings underscore the importance of accurately representing the Eurasian mid-to-high latitude atmospheric teleconnection for successful YRV heatwave prediction.展开更多

Based on the requirements of the relevant national and international standards and criteria, in combination with our experience in the design and development of the ANSHENG v4.0 secure operating system with high security level （hereafter simply referred to as ANSHENG OS）, this paper addresses the following key issues in the design of secure operating systems with high security levels： security architecture, security policy models, and covert channel analysis. The design principles of security architecture and three basic security models： confidentiality, integrity, and privilege control models are discussed, respectively. Three novel security models and new security architecture are proposed. The prominent features of these proposals, as well as their applications to the ANSHENG OS, are elaborated. Cover channel analysis （CCA） is a well-known hard problem in the design of secure operating systems with high security levels since to date it lacks a sound theoretical basis and systematic analysis approach. In order to resolve the fundamental difficulties of CCA, we have set up a sound theoretical basis for completeness of covert channel identification and have proposed a unified framework for covert channel identification and an efficient backward tracking search method. The successful application of our new proposals to the ANSHENG OS has shown that it can help ease and speedup the entire CCA process.展开更多

We identify the Vulnerability Intensity Function (VIF), and the Vulnerability Index Indicator (VII) of a computer operating network. Both of these functions, VIF and VII are entities of the stochastic process that we have identified, which characterizes the probabilistic behavior of the number of vulnerabilities of a computer operating network. The VIF identifies the rate at which the number of vulnerabilities changes with respect to time. The VII is an important index indicator that conveys the following information about the number of vulnerabilities of Desktop Operating Systems: the numbers are increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same at a particular time of interest. This decision type of index indicator is crucial in every strategic planning and decision-making. The proposed VIF and VII illustrate their importance by using real data for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems 10, 8, 7, and Apple MacOS. The results of the actual data attest to the importance of VIF and VII in the cybersecurity problem we are currently facing.展开更多

Consequently, the operations support systems of telecommunications operators are facing structure adjustments as well as new systems construction. In this situation, new generation operations support systems standards are urgently required. Several standardization organizations have made substantial progress in the study of the new generation standards, such as ITU' s study on Next Generation Network (NGN) management, TMF's on New Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS) and CCSA's on network management standards. However, the existing operations support systems face the challenges of architecture improvement, change of the focus of operations support, orientation of customers' demands and technology evolution.展开更多

The conversion efficiency is calculated by using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code on the Linux platform to simulate the transport process of photons and electrons in the detector. The simulation results show that the conversion efficiency could be more than 65%, if the X-ray beam width is less than about 0.2 mm, and a tungsten slab with 0.2 mm thickness and 30 mm length is employed as a radiation conversion medium. Meanwhile the results indicate that this new detector has higher conversion efficiency as well as less volume. Theoretically this new kind of detector could take place of the traditional scintillation detector for HECT.展开更多

(DRI) to determine whether the original DOS source code had been copied from CP/M source code as had been rumored for many years [2] [3]. At the time, the source code for CP/M was publicly available but the source code for DOS was not. My comparison was limited to the comparison of the DOS 1.11 binary code and the source code for CP/M 2.0 from 1981. Since that time, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California received the source code for DOS 2.0 from Microsoft and was given permission to make it public. The museum also received the source code for DOS 1.1 from Tim Paterson, the developer who was originally contracted by Microsoft to write DOS. In this paper, I perform a further analysis using the newly accessible source code and determine that no code was copied. I further conclude that the commands were not copied but that a substantial number of the system calls were copied.展开更多

EUTR is a tool adopted in 2010 and entered into force in 2013 to stop the trade of timber illegally logged within the EU market. The implementation in Italy is still in progress and varies among regions. This study considers the respondents’ opinions on different EUTR characteristics, implementation processes and compliance activities. Taking Italy as an example, the questionnaire was delivered to relevant Italian foresters and timber operators in the forest-timber system. Two hypotheses are under verification: </span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">1</span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">) if Italian forest-wood-timber sector integrated EUTR into its activity and </span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">2</span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">) if the Italian Due Diligence system is a valid model to other countries. The questionnaire has been submitted to the wood industry stakeholders. It has been organized into six sections to collect information about the professional characteristics of respondents, their experiences on EUTR, the opinion about EUTR and FLEGT, the support received on EUTR implementation, the opinion about the checks system, and the role of EUTR in marketing timber products. Questionnaire data have been elaborated in different ways. Conclusion underlines the EUTR Italian system criticalities and some suggestions for a more effective use of EUTR in the wood market. The picture that emerges from the results collected is that the EUTR, although proposed for morally and ethically valid purposes, doesn’t have unanimous effectiveness. In particular, EUTR can generate a distortion of the market, new expenditures for importers. Various operators applaud the role of certification schemes for sustainable forest management, which indirectly makes it possible to prevent the aforementioned problem. The Italian EUTR system is working only for satisfying Regulation 995/2010 targets. This must be considered as the starting point;however, three innovative topics could be developed in the future: digitalization and computerization of EUTR certification, integration of EUTR certification with forest certifications schemes and other quality certifications, and use of EUTR in the marketing initiatives.展开更多

In this paper, I perform a further analysis using the newly accessible source code and determine that no code was copied. I further conclude that the commands were not copied but that a substantial number of the system calls were copied.
文摘Taking ARM as the hardware platform, the embedded system is built from both hardware and software aspects with the application as the center. In the hardware design, build the hardware platform scheme, design the schematic diagram as well as PCB, complete the hardware debugging, and ensure the system hardware platform function;in the software design, optimize the three-stage pipeline structure of ARM instruction system, design the instruction set, install the embedded system on the virtual machine, build the cross-toolchain, and set up the correct NFS network file system. Finish the design of the ARM-based embedded system platform, combined with the hardware requirements of the experimental platform, transplant the powerful Uboot as the Bootloader of the system, and further transplant the Linux-2.6. 32 kernel to the system start the operation normally, and finally, build the root file to finish the study of its portability.
文摘The inherent nature of energy,i.e.,physicality,sociality and informatization,implies the inevitable and intensive interaction between energy systems and social systems.From this perspective,we define "social energy" as a complex sociotechnical system of energy systems,social systems and the derived artificial virtual systems which characterize the intense intersystem and intra-system interactions.The recent advancement in intelligent technology,including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies,sensing and communication in Internet of Things technologies,and massive high performance computing and extreme-scale data analytics technologies,enables the possibility of substantial advancement in socio-technical system optimization,scheduling,control and management.In this paper,we provide a discussion on the nature of energy,and then propose the concept and intention of social energy systems for electrical power.A general methodology of establishing and investigating social energy is proposed,which is based on the ACP approach,i.e., "artificial systems"(A), "computational experiments"(C) and "parallel execution"(P),and parallel system methodology.A case study on the University of Denver(DU) campus grid is provided and studied to demonstrate the social energy concept.In the concluding remarks,we discuss the technical pathway,in both social and nature sciences,to social energy,and our vision on its future.
文摘Unbalanced operating condition in a power system can cause partial overloading of the generators in the network,a condition where one or two of the three phases of the generator become overloaded even if the total 3-phase power output of the generator is within its specified limit.Partial overloading of generators beyond certain limits is undesirable and must be avoided.Distribution systems are often subjected to highly unbalanced operating conditions.Introduction of distributed generations(DGs),therefore,has rendered today’s distribution systems quite susceptible to this problem.Mitigation of this problem requires the issue to be addressed properly during analysis,operation and planning of such systems.Analysis,operation and planning of power networks under unbalanced operating condition require 3-phase load flow study.The existing methods of 3-phase load flow are not equipped to take into account any limit on the loadings of the individual phases of the generators.In the present work,a methodology based on NewtonRaphson(N-R)3-phase load flow with necessary modifications is proposed.The proposed methodology is able to determine the safe loading limits of the generators,and,can be adopted for operation and planning of power networks under unbalanced operating conditions to overcome the above difficulties.Test results on IEEE-37 bus feeder network are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘Illegal logging is a pervasive problem of major international concern that causes many negative social, economical and environmental consequences. EUTR is a tool adopted in 2010 and entered into force in 2013 to stop the trade of timber illegally logged within the EU market. The implementation in Italy is still in progress and varies among regions. This study considers the respondents’ opinions on different EUTR characteristics, implementation processes and compliance activities. Taking Italy as an example, the questionnaire was delivered to relevant Italian foresters and timber operators in the forest-timber system. Two hypotheses are under verification: </span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">1</span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">) if Italian forest-wood-timber sector integrated EUTR into its activity and </span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">2</span></span></span><span><span><span style="font-family:"">) if the Italian Due Diligence system is a valid model to other countries. The questionnaire has been submitted to the wood industry stakeholders. It has been organized into six sections to collect information about the professional characteristics of respondents, their experiences on EUTR, the opinion about EUTR and FLEGT, the support received on EUTR implementation, the opinion about the checks system, and the role of EUTR in marketing timber products. Questionnaire data have been elaborated in different ways. Conclusion underlines the EUTR Italian system criticalities and some suggestions for a more effective use of EUTR in the wood market. The picture that emerges from the results collected is that the EUTR, although proposed for morally and ethically valid purposes, doesn’t have unanimous effectiveness. In particular, EUTR can generate a distortion of the market, new expenditures for importers. Various operators applaud the role of certification schemes for sustainable forest management, which indirectly makes it possible to prevent the aforementioned problem. The Italian EUTR system is working only for satisfying Regulation 995/2010 targets. This must be considered as the starting point;however, three innovative topics could be developed in the future: digitalization and computerization of EUTR certification, integration of EUTR certification with forest certifications schemes and other quality certifications, and use of EUTR in the marketing initiatives.
