However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.展开更多

First, FERM was introduced to identify various causal factors and their performance changes in hazardous chemical operational accidents, along with determining the functional failure link relationships. Subsequently, FERM was employed to elucidate both qualitative and quantitative operational accident information within a unified framework, which could be regarded as the input of information fusion to obtain the fuzzy belief distribution of each cause factor. Finally, the derived risk values of the causal factors were ranked while constructing multi-level accident causation chains to unveil the weak links in system functionality and the primary roots of operational accidents. Using the specific case of the “1·15” major explosion and fire accident at Liaoning Panjin Haoye Chemical Co., Ltd., seven causal factors and their corresponding performance changes were identified. Additionally, five accident causation chains were uncovered based on the fuzzy joint distribution of the functional assessment level(FAL) and reliability distribution(RD),revealing an overall increase in risk along the accident evolution path. The research findings demonstrated that FERM enabled the effective characterization, rational quantification and accurate analysis of the inherent uncertainties in hazardous chemical operational accident risks from a systemic perspective.展开更多

But due to its highspeed rotation characteristics, it is difficult to collect the vibration signals during the flight stage.Moreover, sensors are highly susceptible to damage resulting in the failure of the measurement.In order to make signal predictions for the damaged sensors, an operational modal analysis(OMA) together with the virtual sensing(VS) technology is proposed in this paper. This paper discusses two situations, i.e., mode shapes measured by all sensors(both normal and damaged) can be obtained using OMA, and mode shapes measured by some sensors(only including normal) can be obtained using OMA. For the second situation, it is necessary to use finite element(FE) analysis to supplement the missing mode shapes of damaged sensor. In order to improve the correlation between the FE model and the real structure, the FE mode shapes are corrected using the local correspondence(LC) principle and mode shapes measured by some sensors(only including normal).Then, based on the VS technology, the vibration signals of the damaged sensors during the flight stage can be accurately predicted using the identified mode shapes(obtained based on OMA and FE analysis) and the normal sensors signals. Given the high degrees of freedom(DOFs) in the FE mode shapes, this approach can also be used to predict vibration data at locations without sensors. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method is verified through finite element simulation, experiment as well as the actual flight test. The present work can be further used in the fault diagnosis and damage identification for rotor blade of helicopters.展开更多

文摘It is fundamental and useful to investigate how deep learning forecasting models(DLMs)perform compared to operational oceanography forecast systems(OFSs).However,few studies have intercompared their performances using an identical reference.In this study,three physically reasonable DLMs are implemented for the forecasting of the sea surface temperature(SST),sea level anomaly(SLA),and sea surface velocity in the South China Sea.The DLMs are validated against both the testing dataset and the“OceanPredict”Class 4 dataset.Results show that the DLMs'RMSEs against the latter increase by 44%,245%,302%,and 109%for SST,SLA,current speed,and direction,respectively,compared to those against the former.Therefore,different references have significant influences on the validation,and it is necessary to use an identical and independent reference to intercompare the DLMs and OFSs.Against the Class 4 dataset,the DLMs present significantly better performance for SLA than the OFSs,and slightly better performances for other variables.The error patterns of the DLMs and OFSs show a high degree of similarity,which is reasonable from the viewpoint of predictability,facilitating further applications of the DLMs.For extreme events,the DLMs and OFSs both present large but similar forecast errors for SLA and current speed,while the DLMs are likely to give larger errors for SST and current direction.This study provides an evaluation of the forecast skills of commonly used DLMs and provides an example to objectively intercompare different DLMs.

文摘The electricity-hydrogen integrated energy system(EH-IES)enables synergistic operation of electricity,heat,and hydrogen subsystems,supporting renewable energy integration and efficient multi-energy utilization in future low carbon societies.However,uncertainties from renewable energy and load variability threaten system safety and economy.Conventional chance-constrained programming(CCP)ensures reliable operation by limiting risk.However,increasing source-load uncertainties that can render CCP models infeasible and exacerbate operational risks.To address this,this paper proposes a risk-adjustable chance-constrained goal programming(RACCGP)model,integrating CCP and goal programming to balance risk and cost based on system risk assessment.An intelligent nonlinear goal programming method based on the state transition algorithm(STA)is developed,along with an improved discretized step transformation,to handle model nonlinearity and enhance computational efficiency.Experimental results show that the proposed model reduces costs while controlling risk compared to traditional CCP,and the solution method outperforms average sample sampling in efficiency and solution quality.

文摘BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is one of the most effective treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease.However,many regions face low deceased donor rates and limited ABO-compatible transplant availability,which increases reliance on living donors.These regional challenges necessitate the implementation of kidney paired donation(KPD)programs to overcome incompatibilities such as ABO mismatch or positive cross-matching,even when suitable and willing donors are available.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of a single-center domino KPD model in both operational planning and clinical management processes and to assess its impact on clinical outcomes.METHODS Between April 2020 and January 2024,we retrospectively evaluated patients enrolled in our center’s domino kidney transplantation program.Donor-recipient pairs unable to proceed due to ABO incompatibility or positive cross-matching with their own living donors were included.Donors and recipients were assessed based on blood group compatibility,HLA tissue typing,and negative cross-match results.A specialized computer algorithm grouped patients into three-way,fourway,and five-way chains.All surgical procedures were performed on the same day at a single center.RESULTS A total of 169 kidney transplants were performed,forming 52 domino chains.These domino KPD transplants accounted for a notable proportion of our center’s overall transplant activity,which included both living donor kidney transplants and deceased donor transplants.Among these chains,the primary reasons for participation were ABO incompatibility(74%),positive cross-matching(10%),and the desire to improve HLA mismatch(16%).Improved HLA mismatch profiles and high graft survival(96%at 1 year,92%at 3 years)and patient survival(98%at 1 year,94%at 3 years)rates were observed,as well as low acute rejection episodes.CONCLUSION The single-center domino KPD model enhanced transplant opportunities for incompatible donor-recipient pairs while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes.By providing a framework that addresses regional challenges,improves operational efficiency,and optimizes clinical management,this model offers actionable insights to reduce waiting lists and improve patient outcomes.

文摘The accurate selection of operational parameters is critical for ensuring the safety,efficiency,and automation of Tunnel Boring Machine(TBM)operations.This study proposes a similarity-based framework integrating model-based boring indexes(derived from rock fragmentation mechanisms)and Euclidean distance analysis to achieve real-time recommendations of TBM operational parameters.Key performance indicators-thrust(F),torque(T),and penetration(p)-were used to calculate three model-based boring indexes(a,b,k),which quantify dynamic rock fragmentation behavior.A dataset of 359 candidate samples,reflecting diverse geological conditions from the Yin-Chao water conveyance project in Inner Mongolia,China,was utilized to validate the framework.The system dynamically recommends parameters by matching real-time data with historical cases through standardized Euclidean distance,achieving high accuracy.Specifically,the mean absolute error(MAE)for rotation speed(n)was 0.10 r/min,corresponding to a mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of 1.09%.For advance rate(v),the MAE was 3.4 mm/min,with a MAPE of 4.50%.The predicted thrust(F)and torque(T)values exhibited strong agreement with field measurements,with MAEs of 270 kN and 178 kN∙m,respectively.Field applications demonstrated a 30%reduction in parameter adjustment time compared to empirical methods.This work provides a robust solution for real-time TBM control,advancing intelligent tunneling in complex geological environments.
文摘To extract and display the significant information of combat systems,this paper introduces the methodology of functional cartography into combat networks and proposes an integrated framework named“functional cartography of heterogeneous combat networks based on the operational chain”(FCBOC).In this framework,a functional module detection algorithm named operational chain-based label propagation algorithm(OCLPA),which considers the cooperation and interactions among combat entities and can thus naturally tackle network heterogeneity,is proposed to identify the functional modules of the network.Then,the nodes and their modules are classified into different roles according to their properties.A case study shows that FCBOC can provide a simplified description of disorderly information of combat networks and enable us to identify their functional and structural network characteristics.The results provide useful information to help commanders make precise and accurate decisions regarding the protection,disintegration or optimization of combat networks.Three algorithms are also compared with OCLPA to show that FCBOC can most effectively find functional modules with practical meaning.

文摘Grid-scale energy storage systems provide effective solutions to address challenges such as supply-load imbalances and voltage violations resulting from the non-coinciding nature of renewable energy generation and peak demand incidents.While battery and hydrogen storage are commonly used for peak shaving,ice-based thermal energy storage systems(TESSs)offer a direct way to reduce cooling loads without electrical conversion.This paper presents a multi-objective planning framework that optimizes TESS dispatch,network topology,and photovoltaic(PV)inverter reactive power support to address operational issues in active distribution networks.The objectives of the proposed scheme include minimizing peak demand,voltage deviations,and PV inverter VAr dependency.The mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem is solved using a Pareto-based multi-objective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO)method.The MATLAB-OpenDSS simulations for a modified IEEE-123 bus system show a 7.1%reduction in peak demand,a 13%reduction in voltage deviation,and a 52%drop in PV inverter VAr usage.The obtained solutions confirm minimal operational stress on control devices such as switches and PV inverters.Thus,unlike earlier studies,this work combines all three strategies to offer an effective solution for the operational planning of the active distribution network.

文摘This paper proposed a new systematic approach-functional evidential reasoning model(FERM) for exploring hazardous chemical operational accidents under uncertainty. First, FERM was introduced to identify various causal factors and their performance changes in hazardous chemical operational accidents, along with determining the functional failure link relationships. Subsequently, FERM was employed to elucidate both qualitative and quantitative operational accident information within a unified framework, which could be regarded as the input of information fusion to obtain the fuzzy belief distribution of each cause factor. Finally, the derived risk values of the causal factors were ranked while constructing multi-level accident causation chains to unveil the weak links in system functionality and the primary roots of operational accidents. Using the specific case of the “1·15” major explosion and fire accident at Liaoning Panjin Haoye Chemical Co., Ltd., seven causal factors and their corresponding performance changes were identified. Additionally, five accident causation chains were uncovered based on the fuzzy joint distribution of the functional assessment level(FAL) and reliability distribution(RD),revealing an overall increase in risk along the accident evolution path. The research findings demonstrated that FERM enabled the effective characterization, rational quantification and accurate analysis of the inherent uncertainties in hazardous chemical operational accident risks from a systemic perspective.
文摘Growing regulatory demands for industrial safety and environmental protection in the chemical sector necessitate robust operational risk assessment to enhance management efficacy.Here,the HS Chemical Company is evaluated through a multidimensional framework encompassing market dynamics,macroeconomic factors,financial stability,governance,supply chains,and production safety.By integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)with entropy weighting,a hybrid weighting model that mitigates the limitations of singular methods is established.The analysis of this study identifies financial risk(weight:0.347)and production safety(weight:0.298)as dominant risk drivers.These quantitative insights offer a basis for resource prioritization and targeted risk mitigation strategies in chemical enterprises.

文摘Tailoring thermal history during additive manufacturing(AM)offers a feasible approach to customise the microstructure and properties of materials without changing alloy compositions or post-heat treatment,which is generally overlooked as it is hard to achieve in commercial materials.Herein,a customised Fe-Ni-Ti-Al maraging steel with rapid precipitation kinetics offers the opportunity to leverage thermal history during AM for achieving large-range tunable strength-ductility combinations.The Fe-Ni-Ti-Al steel was processed by laser-directed energy deposition(LDED)with different deposition strategies to tailor the thermal history.As the phase transformation and in-situ formation of multi-scale secondary phases of the Fe-Ni-Ti-Al steel are sensitive to the thermal histories,the deposited steel achieved a large range of tuneable mechanical properties.Specifically,the interlayer paused deposited sample exhibits superior tensile strength(∼1.54 GPa)and moderate elongation(∼8.1%),which is attributed to the formation of unique hierarchical structures and the in-situ precipitation of high-densityη-Ni_(3)(Ti,Al)during LDED.In contrast,the substrate heating deposited sample has an excellent elongation of 19.3%together with a high tensile strength of 1.24 GPa.The achievable mechanical property range via tailoring thermal history in the LDED-built Fe-Ni-Ti-Al steel is significantly larger than most commercial materials.The findings highlight the material customisation along with AM’s unique thermal history to achieve versatile mechanical performances of deposited materials,which could inspire more property or function manipulations of materials by AM process control or innovation.

文摘Rotor blade is one of the most significant components of helicopters. But due to its highspeed rotation characteristics, it is difficult to collect the vibration signals during the flight stage.Moreover, sensors are highly susceptible to damage resulting in the failure of the measurement.In order to make signal predictions for the damaged sensors, an operational modal analysis(OMA) together with the virtual sensing(VS) technology is proposed in this paper. This paper discusses two situations, i.e., mode shapes measured by all sensors(both normal and damaged) can be obtained using OMA, and mode shapes measured by some sensors(only including normal) can be obtained using OMA. For the second situation, it is necessary to use finite element(FE) analysis to supplement the missing mode shapes of damaged sensor. In order to improve the correlation between the FE model and the real structure, the FE mode shapes are corrected using the local correspondence(LC) principle and mode shapes measured by some sensors(only including normal).Then, based on the VS technology, the vibration signals of the damaged sensors during the flight stage can be accurately predicted using the identified mode shapes(obtained based on OMA and FE analysis) and the normal sensors signals. Given the high degrees of freedom(DOFs) in the FE mode shapes, this approach can also be used to predict vibration data at locations without sensors. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method is verified through finite element simulation, experiment as well as the actual flight test. The present work can be further used in the fault diagnosis and damage identification for rotor blade of helicopters.
文摘The early involvement of test and evaluation can significantly reduce the cost of modifying issues and errors found in the later stages of aircraft development and design process.This paper presents a methodology for aircraft mission effectiveness evaluation and design space exploration based on Virtual Operational Test(VOT),incorporating Virtual Open Scenario(VOS)and User in Scenarios(UIS)concepts.By employing modeling and simulation technologies in the early stages of aircraft development and design,a virtual environment can be constructed,allowing aircraft users to participate more closely and conveniently in the design process.Virtual tests conducted by users within the mission context provide data on mission effectiveness and critical user feedback.This paper outlines the main components of the virtual operational test process and related conceptual methods,and discusses an open support system framework that supports VOT.The effectiveness and adaptability of the method are demonstrated through two case studies:a beyond-visual-range air combat scenario and a helicopter ground attack scenario.These case studies demonstrate the evaluation of aircraft mission effectiveness and the sensitivity analysis and optimization of design and operational parameters based on VOT.
