Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.展开更多

The methodology aims to determine the optimal allocation and sizing of multiple PV-DG to minimize power loss through time series power flow analysis. An approach utilizing continuous sensitivity analysis is developed and inherently leverages power flow and loss equations to compute LSF of all buses in the system towards employing a dynamic PV-DG model for more accurate results. The algorithm uses a numerical grid search method to optimize PV-DG placement in a power distribution system, focusing on minimizing system losses. It combines iterative analysis, sensitivity assessment, and comprehensive visualization to identify and present the optimal PV-DG configurations. The present-ed algorithms are verified through co-simulation framework combining MATLAB and OpenDSS to carry out analysis for 12-bus radial distribution test system. The proposed numerical method is compared with other algorithms, such as ELF, LSF methods, and Genetic Algorithms (GA). Results show that the proposed numerical method performs well in comparison with LSF and ELF solutions.展开更多

However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.
文摘This paper introduces an optimized planning approach for integrating photovoltaic as distributed generation (PV-DG) into the radial distribution power systems, utilizing exhaustive load flow (ELF), loss sensitivity factor (LSF), genetic algorithms (GA) methods, and numerical method based on LSF. The methodology aims to determine the optimal allocation and sizing of multiple PV-DG to minimize power loss through time series power flow analysis. An approach utilizing continuous sensitivity analysis is developed and inherently leverages power flow and loss equations to compute LSF of all buses in the system towards employing a dynamic PV-DG model for more accurate results. The algorithm uses a numerical grid search method to optimize PV-DG placement in a power distribution system, focusing on minimizing system losses. It combines iterative analysis, sensitivity assessment, and comprehensive visualization to identify and present the optimal PV-DG configurations. The present-ed algorithms are verified through co-simulation framework combining MATLAB and OpenDSS to carry out analysis for 12-bus radial distribution test system. The proposed numerical method is compared with other algorithms, such as ELF, LSF methods, and Genetic Algorithms (GA). Results show that the proposed numerical method performs well in comparison with LSF and ELF solutions.

文摘To overcome the limitations of microscale experimental techniques and molecular dynamics(MD)simulations,a coarse-grained molecular dynamics(CGMD)method was used to simulate the wetting processes of clay aggregates.Based on the evolution of swelling stress,final dry density,water distribution,and clay arrangements under different target water contents and dry densities,a relationship between the swelling behaviors and microstructures was established.The simulated results showed that when the clay-water well depth was 300 kcal/mol,the basal spacing from CGMD was consistent with the X-ray diffraction(XRD)data.The effect of initial dry density on swelling stress was more pronounced than that of water content.The anisotropic swelling characteristics of the aggregates are related to the proportion of horizontally oriented clay mineral layers.The swelling stress was found to depend on the distribution of tactoids at the microscopic level.At lower initial dry density,the distribution of tactoids was mainly controlled by water distribution.With increase in the bound water content,the basal spacing expanded,and the swelling stresses increased.Free water dominated at higher water contents,and the particles were easily rotated,leading to a decrease in the number of large tactoids.At higher dry densities,the distances between the clay mineral layers decreased,and the movement was limited.When bound water enters the interlayers,there is a significant increase in interparticle repulsive forces,resulting in a greater number of small-sized tactoids.Eventually,a well-defined logarithmic relationship was observed between the swelling stress and the total number of tactoids.These findings contribute to a better understanding of coupled macro-micro swelling behaviors of montmorillonite-based materials,filling a study gap in clay-water interactions on a micro scale.

文摘Sheep and goat coccidiosis has a worldwide distribution and is an important disease on lambing farms.Infection with multiple Eimeria species can lead to severe intestinal damage in sheep/goats and economic losses on farms.Disease is a serious constraint to the healthy development of small ruminant farming.Studies published on PubMed,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and the resulting references of selected studies were included.Risk factors affecting prevalence were analyzed and stratified by geographic location and climatic variables,age,sex,feeding model,season,sample year,breeds and environment.The total prevalence of coccidia in sheep and goats reached more than 60%in most regions,in which the dominant species in sheep were mainly E.parva,E.ovinoidalis,and E.parva and E.ahsata.East China had the lowest prevalence of coccidia infection in sheep(43.24%),and the dominant species were different from those in the other regions,mainly E.bakuensis and E.gonzalezi.Southwestern China and Central China had slightly less than 40.0%goat coccidia infection,and the dominant species in goats were mainly E.arloingi,E.aligevi,E.hirci and E.ninakohlyakimovae.Sheep/goats of different ages can be infected with coccidiosis,but lambs between 1 and 3 months of age are more susceptible to the disease.When lambs become infected,the pathogen spreads rapidly throughout the herd.Spring,summer and autumn are the seasons with a high incidence of this disease.Environmental pollution may be a significant factor in the development of coccidiosis in sheep raised in large-scale housing.This study provides a comprehensive overview of the species,morphology and geographic distribution of Eimeria species in sheep and goats,summary prevalence in different regions of China,risk factors affecting prevalence,and prevention and control strategies.

文摘The development of chassis active safety control technology has improved vehicle stability under extreme conditions.However,its cross-system and multi-functional characteristics make the controller difficult to achieve cooperative goals.In addition,the chassis system,which has high complexity,numerous subsystems,and strong coupling,will also lead to low computing efficiency and poor control effect of the controller.Therefore,this paper proposes a scenario-driven hybrid distributed model predictive control algorithm with variable control topology.This algorithm divides multiple stability regions based on the vehicle’s β−γ phase plane,forming a mapping relationship between the control structure and the vehicle’s state.A control input fusion mechanism within the transition domain is designed to mitigate the problems of system state oscillation and control input jitter caused by switching control structures.Then,a distributed state-space equation with state coupling and input coupling characteristics is constructed,and a weighted local agent cost function in quadratic programming is derived.Through cost coupling,local agents can coordinate global performance goals.Finally,through Simulink/CarSim joint simulation and hardware-in-the-loop(HIL)test,the proposed algorithm is validated to improve vehicle stability while ensuring trajectory tracking accuracy and has good applicability for multi-objective coordinated control.This paper combines the advantages of distributed MPC and decentralized MPC,achieving a balance between approximating the global optimal results and the solution’s efficiency.

文摘The existing Low-Earth-Orbit(LEO)positioning performance cannot meet the requirements of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)clusters for high-precision real-time positioning in the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)denial conditions.Therefore,this paper proposes a UAV Clusters Information Geometry Fusion Positioning(UC-IGFP)method using pseudoranges from the LEO satellites.A novel graph model for linking and computing between the UAV clusters and LEO satellites was established.By utilizing probability to describe the positional states of UAVs and sensor errors,the distributed multivariate Probability Fusion Cooperative Positioning(PF-CP)algorithm is proposed to achieve high-precision cooperative positioning and integration of the cluster.Criteria to select the centroid of the cluster were set.A new Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for UAV clusters was designed based on the global benchmark and Riemann information geometry theory,which overcomes the discontinuity problem caused by the change of cluster centroids.Finally,the UC-IGFP method achieves the LEO continuous highprecision positioning of UAV clusters.The proposed method effectively addresses the positioning challenges caused by the strong direction of signal beams from LEO satellites and the insufficient constraint quantity of information sources at the edge nodes of the cluster.It significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of LEO-UAV cluster positioning.The results of comprehensive simulation experiments show that the proposed method has a 30.5%improvement in performance over the mainstream positioning methods,with a positioning error of 14.267 m.
文摘Dear Editor,This letter focuses on the distributed cooperative regulation problem for a class of networked re-entrant manufacturing systems(RMSs).The networked system is structured with a three-tier architecture:the production line,the manufacturing layer and the workshop layer.The dynamics of re-entrant production lines are governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations(PDEs)based on the law of mass conservation.
文摘Based on the meteorological observation data from 1994 to 2023,the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and periodic changes of extreme precipitation were analyzed.The extreme precipitation showed a fluctuating upward trend,and reached a peak of 713.5 mm in 2010.The frequency of events increased from 7 times in 1994-2000 to 56 times in 2020-2023,with significant periodicity of 3-4 and 7-8 a.In terms of spatial distribution,the precipitation intensity in the upper reaches was significantly higher than that in the middle and lower reaches,reaching 421.6 and 405.7 mm respectively.The lowest was in downstream Wuchuan City(268.3 mm),showing a decreasing trend from upstream to downstream.Extreme precipitation was mainly concentrated from July to October,especially in September(accounting for 25.8%).Typhoon was the main cause,with 80%of the TOP10 records related to typhoons,and the average precipitation intensity of typhoons reached 501.6 mm.The average precipitation intensity from 2020 to 2023 reached 442.8 mm.The correlation coefficient between 12-h rainfall intensity and flood level was 0.85,and the accuracy of flood warning based on rainfall intensity threshold was 78%,which had guiding significance for flood control and disaster reduction.

文摘Waveform generation and digitization play essential roles in numerous physics experiments.In traditional distributed systems for large-scale experiments,each frontend node contains an FPGA for data preprocessing,which interfaces with various data converters and exchanges data with a backend central processor.However,the streaming readout architecture has become a new paradigm for several experiments benefiting from advancements in data transmission and computing technologies.This paper proposes a scalable distributed waveform generation and digitization system that utilizes fiber optical connections for data transmission between frontend nodes and a central processor.By utilizing transparent transmission on top of the data link layer,the clock and data ports of the converters in the frontend nodes are directly mapped to the FPGA firmware at the backend.This streaming readout architecture reduces the complexity of frontend development and maintains the data conversion in proximity to the detector.Each frontend node uses a local clock for waveform digitization.To translate the timing information of events in each channel into the system clock domain within the backend central processing FPGA,a novel method is proposed and evaluated using a demonstrator system.
文摘In this study,we investigated Mo-impregnated H-MCM-22 catalysts(denoted Mo/M)for methanedehydroaromatization(MDA)to produce aromatics such as benzene and toluene(BT).We attemptedto improve the performance of the MDA catalysts by reducing the amount of Brönsted acidsites(BAS)of the H-MCM-22 supports via hydrothermal dealumination.Among the prepared catalysts,an optimal hydrothermal treatment(HT)of H-MCM-22 supports at 400℃,followed by Moimpregnation(denoted Mo/M_400),resulted in a reduced and optimal amount of BAS,along with acomparable Mo distribution to Mo/M.Further,Mo/M_400 enhanced BT formation rates(maximumBT formation rate of 5.23 vs.4.73 mmolBT·g^(−1)·h^(−1) for Mo/M);it appears that dealumination-inducedreduction in the quantity of BAS altered their spatial interaction with active Mo species,promotingBT and naphthalene formation.Interestingly,the lifetime of intermediate C_(2)(ethane and ethylene)formation was also improved for Mo/M_400.Rigorous coke analyses revealed that the decreasedcoke content in the aromatic-selective 10-membered-ring(10-MR)pores,as well as the ability ofthe 12-MR pores to accommodate coke deposits over a longer reaction time,improved the stabilityof Mo/M_400.Nonetheless,for all catalysts,the deactivations of BAS,and subsequently,the activeMo sites were mainly ascribed to coke deposition.The overall enhancement in MDA performance byMo/M_400 was attributed to the advantages of the optimally reduced BAS,allowing such performanceto surpass those of previously reported Mo-based catalysts.
文摘Nodal pricing is a critical mechanism in electricity markets,utilized to determine the cost of power transmission to various nodes within a distribution network.As power systems evolve to incorporate higher levels of renewable energy and face increasing demand fluctuations,traditional nodal pricing models often fall short to meet these new challenges.This research introduces a novel enhanced nodal pricing mechanism for distribution networks,integrating advanced optimization techniques and hybrid models to overcome these limitations.The primary objective is to develop a model that not only improves pricing accuracy but also enhances operational efficiency and system reliability.This study leverages cutting-edge hybrid algorithms,combining elements of machine learning with conventional optimization methods,to achieve superior performance.Key findings demonstrate that the proposed hybrid nodal pricing model significantly reduces pricing errors and operational costs compared to conventional methods.Through extensive simulations and comparative analysis,the model exhibits enhanced performance under varying load conditions and increased levels of renewable energy integration.The results indicate a substantial improvement in pricing precision and network stability.This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on optimizing electricity market mechanisms and provides actionable insights for policymakers and utility operators.By addressing the complexities of modern power distribution systems,our research offers a robust solution that enhances the efficiency and reliability of power distribution networks,marking a significant advancement in the field.
