文摘Thermal storage electric heating(TSEH),as a prevalent variable load resource,offers significant potential for enhancing system flexibility when aggregated into a cluster.To address the uncertainties of renewable energy and load forecasting in active distribution networks(ADN),this paper proposes a multi-timescale coordinated optimal dispatch strategy that incorporates TSEH clusters.It utilizes the thermal storage characteristics and short-term regulation capabilities of TSEH,along with the rapid and gradual response characteristics of resources in active distribution grids,to develop a coordinated optimization dispatch mechanism for day-ahead,intraday,and real-time stages.It provides a coordinated optimized dispatch technique across several timescales for active distribution grids,taking into account the integration of TSEH clusters.The proposed method is validated on a modified IEEE 33-node system.Simulation results demonstrate that the participation of TSEH in collaborative optimization significantly reduces the total system operating cost by 8.71%compared to the scenario without TSEH.This cost reduction is attributed to a 10.84%decrease in interaction costs with the main grid and a 47.41%reduction in network loss costs,validating effective peak shaving and valley filling.The multi-timescale framework further enhances economic efficiency,with overall operating costs progressively decreasing by 3.91%(intraday)and 4.59%(real-time),and interaction costs further reduced by 5.34%and 9.25%,respectively.Moreover,the approach enhances system stability by effectively suppressing node voltage fluctuations and ensuring all voltages remain within safe operating limits during real-time operation.Therefore,the proposed approach achieves rational coordination of diverse resources,significantly improving the economic efficiency and stability of ADNs.

文摘Low-visibility phenomena strongly impact the environment,as well as transportation,aviation and other fields that are closely related to people's livelihoods;thus,they represent important ecological issues of social concern.Based on observation data concerning low-visibility phenomena derived from 105 national meteorological stations in Xinjiang,China over the past 20 years,we systematically analyzed the differences between manual and instrument observations for six types of low-visibility phenomena,with a focus on exploring their spatiotemporal distribution characteristics using instrument data.The results revealed that low-visibility phenomena were dominated by fog-and haze-related events(mist,fog,and haze)in northern Xinjiang and dust-related events(dust storms,blowing sand,and floating dust)in southern Xinjiang,with transitional characteristics observed in eastern Xinjiang.Compared with manual observations,the instrument measurements significantly improved the fine-scale low-visibility phenomenon identification process.On the basis of the instrument observation data,spatial-dimension analysis results indicated that low-visibility phenomena in Xinjiang were significantly influenced by terrain factors.Constrained by the Tianshan Mountains,haze-like phenomena formed a core agglomeration area in northern Xinjiang,whereas dust-and sand-related phenomena radiated outward,with the Taklimakan Desert at the center.Moreover,the gripping effect of the terrain promoted dust transmission along low-altitude channels.Temporally,fog-and haze-related phenomena occurred mainly during autumn and winter,and the proportion of these events decreased from 76.7%to 55.1%.The fog-and haze-related phenomena demonstrated a U-shaped rebound trend,while the proportion of mist phenomena decreased by 34.2%.Dust storms occurred during spring,accounting for 23.3%to 44.9%of all storms.Instrument measurement technology has the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolutions and multiparameter coordination but provides a limited dust-haze mixed-pollution identification capacity.This study provides crucial reference data for enhancing the understanding of low-visibility events in Xinjiang and the potential responses while improving the accuracy of pollution source tracking and meteorological process diagnosis tasks.
文摘With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence(GenAI),the task of story visualization,which transforms natural language narratives into coherent and consistent image sequences,has attracted growing research attention.However,existing methods still face limitations in balancing multi-frame character consistency and generation efficiency,which restricts their feasibility for large-scale practical applications.To address this issue,this study proposes a modular cloud-based distributed system built on Stable Diffusion.By separating the character generation and story generation processes,and integratingmulti-feature control techniques,a cachingmechanism,and an asynchronous task queue architecture,the system enhances generation efficiency and scalability.The experimental design includes both automated and human evaluations of character consistency,performance testing,and multinode simulation.The results show that the proposed system outperforms the baseline model StoryGen in both CLIP-I and human evaluation metrics.In terms of performance,under the experimental environment of this study,dual-node deployment reduces average waiting time by approximately 19%,while the four-node simulation further reduces it by up to 65%.Overall,this study demonstrates the advantages of cloud-distributed GenAI in maintaining character consistency and reducing generation latency,highlighting its potential value inmulti-user collaborative story visualization applications.
文摘As global climate change intensifies,alpine plants are facing dual pressures of habitat loss and rapid environmental degradation.As one of the world's most biodiverse countries,China's potential shifts in alpine plant distribution and their profound impact on fragile ecosystems have become a focus of ecological research and conservation efforts,with increasing urgency.Meconopsis,a typical representative of Chinese alpine plants,exhibits diverse adaptability,making it an ideal model for studying how alpine species respond to extreme environmental changes.A lack of comprehensive genus-level analyses may hinder the development of long-term conservation and management strategies.Given the genus's ecological importance,vulnerability,and the risk of trait homogenization in genus-level modeling,there is an urgent need to assess its future distribution patterns,migration trends,and adaptive mechanisms based on habitat classification.In this study,we employed the Maxent model,integrating multidimensional environmental variables,to develop genus-level models and representative habitat-based models(forest,meadows,and periglacial).Results indicate a northwestward expansion and southeastward contraction of suitable habitats under future climate scenarios,with migration patterns in latitude and elevation showing stage-specific characteristics.Key environmental factors varied across models but were mostly associated with seasonal growth traits and microhabitat conditions,highlighting both the universal ecological requirements and niche differentiation within Meconopsis.Based on these findings,we propose a dynamic conservation strategy framework informed by stage-specific responses and habitat differences.Future efforts should focus on incorporating alpine-specific environmental variables and optimizing specimen collection strategies to enhance model performance and support landscape planning and biodiversity conservation.

文摘Tajikistan represents a core region of the biodiversity hotspot in Central Asian mountains and has exceptional vascular plant diversity.However,the species diversity of the country faces urgent conservation challenges.There has been a lack of a comprehensive and multidimensional assessment to inform strategic conservation planning.Therefore,this study integrated 4 key biodiversity indices including species richness(SR),phylogenetic diversity(PD),threatened species richness(TSR),and endemic species richness(ESR)to map species diversity distribution patterns,identify conservation gaps,and elucidate their effects of climatic factors.This study revealed that species diversity shows a clear trend of decreasing from the western region to the eastern region of Tajikistan.The central–western mountains(specifically the Gissar-Darvasian and Zeravshanian regions)emerge as irreplaceable biodiversity hotspots.However,we found a severe spatial mismatch between these priority areas and the existing protected areas(PAs).Protection coverage for all hotspots was alarmingly low,ranging from 31.00%to 38.00%.Consequently,a critical 64.80%of integrated priority areas fall outside of the current PAs,representing a major conservation gap.This study identified precipitation seasonality and isothermality as the principal drivers,collectively explaining over 50.00%of the diversity variation and suggesting high vulnerability to hydrological shifts.Furthermore,we detected significant geographic sampling bias in the public biodiversity databases,with the most critical hotspot being systematically under-sampled.This study provides a robust scientific basis for conservation action,highlighting the urgent need to strategically expand PAs in the under-protected southwestern region and to mitigate critical sampling gaps through targeted data digitization and field surveys.These measures are indispensable for securing Tajikistan’s unique biodiversity and achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3(“30×30 Protection”).

文摘Objectives This study aimed to explore the lagged and cumulative effects of risk factors on disability in older adults using distributed lag non-linear models(DLNMs).Methods We utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS).After feature selection via Elastic Net Regularization,we applied DLNMs to evaluate the lagged effects of risk factors.Disability was defined as the presence of any difficulties in basic activities of daily living(BADL).The cumulative relative risk(CRR)was calculated by summing the lag-specific risk estimates,representing the cumulative disability risk over the specified lag period.Effect modifications and sensitivity analyses were also performed.Results This study included a total of 2,318 participants.Early-phase lag factors,such as the difficulty in stooping(CRR=3.58;95%CI:2.31-5.55;P<0.001)and walking(CRR=2.77;95%CI:1.39-5.55;P<0.001),exerted the strongest effects immediately upon occurrence.Mid-phase lag factors,such as arthritis(CRR=1.51;95%CI:1.10-2.06;P=0.001),showed a resurgence in disability risk within 2-3 years.Late-phase lag factors,including depressive symptoms(CRR=2.38;95%CI:1.30-4.35;P<0.001)and elevated systolic blood pressure(CRR=1.64;95%CI:1.06-2.79;P=0.02),exhibited significant long-term cumulative risks.Conversely,grip strength(CRR=0.80;95%CI:0.54-0.95;P=0.02)and social participation(CRR=0.89;95%CI:0.73-0.99;P=0.04)were significant protective factors.Conclusions The findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions that account for various lag characteristics of different factors to effectively mitigate disability risk.Future studies should explore the underlying biological and sociological mechanisms of these lagged effects,identify intervention strategies that target risk factors with different lagged patterns,and evaluate their effectiveness.

文摘The Haoping 40 m radio telescope at the National Time Service Center,Chinese Academy of Sciences was built in 2014 and is primarily used to observe navigation satellites and pulsars.Since the first successful very long baseline interferometry(VLBI)observation of L-band radio source fringes in 2022,ten observations have been made so far.The stations involved in the observations include the Haoping 40 m radio telescope(Haoping),the Tianma 65 m radio telescope(Tianma),the Nanshan 26 m radio telescope(Urumqi),the Guizhou 500 m radio telescope(FAST),the Jilin 13 m radio telescope(Jilin),the Effelsberg 100 m radio telescope(Effelsberg),the Onsala 25 m radio telescope(Onsala),and the Chiang Mai 40 m radio telescope(Chiang Mai).This paper presents details on the specifications of the Haoping 40 m radio telescope,as well as the design of the VLBI experiment,the observation process,and the data processing.We also discuss the analysis of the fringe results involving the Haoping 40 m radio telescope,using Distributed FX Correlator to obtain excellent results.We confirm that the telescope is capable of participating in VLBI observations and performing specific data processing tasks.It can therefore play a greater role in future VLBI observations.

文摘This paper investigates the distributed continuoustime aggregative optimization problem for second-order multiagent systems,where the local cost function is not only related to its own decision variables,but also to the aggregation of the decision variables of all the agents.By using the gradient descent method,the distributed average tracking(DAT)technique and the time-base generator(TBG)technique,a distributed continuous-time aggregative optimization algorithm is proposed.Subsequently,the optimality of the system's equilibrium point is analyzed,and the convergence of the closed-loop system is proved using the Lyapunov stability theory.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated through case studies on multirobot systems and power generation systems.
文摘Focusing on civil aircraft flap skew detection design,this paper proposes a high-robustness monitoring design methodology to address insufficient monitor robustness that may trigger false alarms and disrupt airline operations.Based on flap skew detection principles and threshold design criteria,the threshold range is defined with upper limit of maximum deformation under aerodynamic load and lower limit of sensor error margin and nominal flight deformation.Since the complex loading conditions of maximum flap differential deformation(max Δλ)during normal flight cannot be theoretically determined,probabilistic methods are employed:Flight test data from hundreds of sorties are analyzed using generalized extreme value distribution.Confidence levels are verified via Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S)hypothesis testing.Then probability density function of max Δλis established.The false alarm rate is calculated through cumulative probability values of max Δλat varying thresholds.Boundary conditions for false alarm rate are determined by safety assessment and dispatch reliability analysis.The derived monitoring threshold is verified against finite element analysis predictions and iron bird rig test.The results confirm the methodology’s validity,meeting all design objectives.

文摘Nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)are essential nutrients and can significantly impact primary productivity of the ecosystem causing water environmental problems.However,their cycling mechanisms are not well understood in alpine mountains with climate change.Hence,94 samples of river water were collected from 2018 to 2020 in the headwaters of the Shule River Basin to assess the nutrients spatiotemporal distribution and combined ap-proach of water quality index to assess water quality and potential sources.The findings depict that high nutrient concentrations were found to coincide with snowmelt and glacial meltwater and rainfall recharge periods,while total flux peaked from June to September due to increased runoff.Notably,total nitrogen(TN)concentrations were significantly higher near the town,primarily attributed to the replenishment of nitrate(NO_(3)^(‒)-N)from live-stock manure.The high total P(TP)was near the glacier,which was attributed to the transportation of glacial sediments into the river,and pH was another critical factor.N was the primary nutrient limiting factor for the growth of phytoplankton in river water.Although the migration and transport of nutrients have altered with climate change,river water quality is good in alpine mountains based on an overall evaluation.These findings contribute to enriching nutrient datasets and highlight the importance of water resource management and water quality assessment in sensitive and fragile alpine mountains.

文摘In this study,the effects of low-dose sodium hypochlorite disinfection on water quality and biofilm growth in drinking water distribution systems(DWDS)after ultrafiltration pretreatment was investigated.The influence of pipeline hydraulic residence time(HRT)on disinfection efficiency,by-product formation,microbial activity,and biofilm growth were considered.The results show that both microbial activities and metabolite secretion were stimulated by increasing HRT,aggravating the potential risk of microbial pollution in DWDS.The enhanced microbial metabolism could further weaken disinfection efficiency by consuming extra residual Chlorine,after which the formation of disinfection by-products was facilitated.Residual Chlorine was found negatively correlated with HRT.With prolonging HRT from 5 to 40 h,the concentration of disinfection by-products(Chlorate,Chlorite,and Trichloromethane)was on a continuously increasing trend by 37%,140%,and 75%,respectively.But the water kept in pipeline still reliably satisfied the Standards for drinking water quality in China(GB5749–2022).Besides,more biofilm with denser morphologies developed on rubber pipeline gaskets rather than the iron/plastic ones.Rubber material was inappropriate for DWDS due to its potential risk of secondary biological pollution.Prolonging HRT also enhanced the accumulation of dominant bacteria(e.g.Bradyrhizobium and Obscuribacter)and decreased microbial diversity.
