However, challenges such as data silos and fragmented knowledge hinder the effective utilization of this information. This study proposes a novel framework for intelligent Question-and-Answer (Q&A) systems based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to address these issues. The system efficiently acquires domain-specific knowledge by leveraging external databases, including Relational Databases (RDBs) and graph databases, without additional fine-tuning for Large Language Models (LLMs). Crucially, the framework integrates a Dynamic Knowledge Base Updating Mechanism (DKBUM) and a Weighted Context-Aware Similarity (WCAS) method to enhance retrieval accuracy and mitigate inherent limitations of LLMs, such as hallucinations and lack of specialization. Additionally, the proposed DKBUM dynamically adjusts knowledge weights within the database, ensuring that the most recent and relevant information is utilized, while WCAS refines the alignment between queries and knowledge items by enhanced context understanding. Experimental validation demonstrates that the system can generate timely, accurate, and context-sensitive responses, making it a robust solution for managing complex business logic in specialized industries.展开更多

The system is hypothesized to improve healthcare accessibility, operational efficiency, and patient outcomes by automating routine tasks and delivering accurate health information. The assistant leverages natural language processing and real-time data retrieval models to respond to patient inquiries, schedule appointments, provide medication reminders, assist with symptom triage, and answer insurance-related questions. By integrating RAG-based virtual care, the system reduces the burden on healthcare specialists and helps mitigate healthcare disparities, particularly in rural areas where traditional care is limited. Although the initial scope of testing did not validate all potential benefits, the results demonstrated high patient satisfaction and strong response accuracy, both critical for systems of this nature. These findings underscore the transformative potential of AI-driven virtual health assistants in enhancing patient engagement, streamlining operational workflows, and improving healthcare accessibility, ultimately contributing to better outcomes and more cost-effective care delivery.展开更多

The traditional production mode of electric power mainly depends on the combustion of fossil fuels, but this energy utilization mode is not sustainable and will lead to environmental pollution in the process of energy production and utilization. To a large extent, environmental problems are development problems. Only when environmental governance is taken into account in the process of economic development and a development model that can coexist harmoniously with the ecological environment is constructed, can social and economic sustainable development be promoted. In this process, we need to pay attention to the energy problem, change the existing way of energy utilization, and transform and produce energy in a more harmless way, so as to provide the basis for sustainable social and economic development. In recent years, wind power generation technology has been greatly developed, showing great advantages in replacing traditional fossil fuels. In the process of applying wind power energy, the applied wind power generation technology has an important impact on the cost and quality of wind power energy. Therefore, if you want to give full play to the value of wind power energy, you must strengthen the research on wind power generation technology, so as to further enhance the practicability and applicability of wind power generation.展开更多

According to the different power supply equipment, the main function of power supply system is to provide power for locomotive running, while the main function of distribution system is to provide power for some equipment (interval equipment) along the railway. These two power supply modes exist independently and do not interfere with each other. At the same time, when supplying power to the interval equipment, most of the equipment is powered by independent power supply, including the main power distribution and standby power distribution, which are switched through the electrical control circuit. However, in the traditional distribution mode, the overall stability of the power grid is required to be high. If the electric energy of the power grid often fluctuates, it will cause the distribution failure of the equipment in the interval, resulting in the effectiveness of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the stability of the interval distribution system and select a more reliable distribution mode. Photovoltaic power generation is a way of railway power supply, whether it is feasible to be applied in railway interval distribution system needs continuous research. Based on this, this paper takes photovoltaic power generation technology in the application of railway interval distribution system as the entry point, and discusses the way of its application, hoping to bring certain reference significance to the application of interval distribution system.展开更多

While bringing more help to people's high-quality life, the problem of energy scarcity is becoming more and more prominent, which has a serious adverse impact on the further development of society. Because solar energy is inexhaustible and can be obtained in different regions, it has become a new type of energy and an indispensable part of human development and use. With the rapid development of modern society, the application of solar photovoltaic power generation technology can greatly reduce the energy consumption.展开更多

Three key techniques used in this system have been discussed. First, a combined co-phase traction power supply system is applied at traction substations for compensating negative sequence current and eliminating phase splits at exits of substations; design method and procedure for this system are presented. Second, a new bilateral traction power supply technology is proposed to eliminate the phase split at section post and reduce the influence of equalizing current on the power grid. Meanwhile, power factor should be adjusted to ensure a proper voltage level of the traction network. Third, a seg- mental power supply technology of traction network is used to divide the power supply arms into several segments, and the synchronous measurement and control technology is applied to diagnose faults and their locations quickly and accurately. Thus, the fault impact can be limited to a min- imum degree. In addition, the economy and reliability of the new generation traction power supply system are analyzed.展开更多

Economic impacts of RE deployment are still mostly discussed on national level, where different effects have been identified. Recent research for Germany shows positive effects on the macro level and different distributional impacts. High investment in solar photovoltaics (PV) from 2010 to 2012 and induced increases in the RE sur-charge are the main drivers. At the same time, cost reductions for wind and solar PV take place on global markets, with global learning curves explaining the cost reductions very well. This calls for better including the international dimension into the modelling. The complex feedback loops between global cost curves and national policies, which react to global learning with some time lags, are not yet integrated into complex economic models. These models have to capture different RE technologies, different industries, either delivering the RE technologies or strongly depending on electricity prices, which are influenced by national support policies and macroeconomic development. As a first step to better understand the role of international markets, assumptions on RE exports based on global scenarios can be used. Results show the importance of global markets at least for the German RE industries. If the international dimension is taken into account, mainly positive economic impacts of further RE deployment can be observed.展开更多
