In order to unify the two kinds of interaction while designing multi-agent systems, this paper introduces Q language-a scenario description language for designing interaction among agents and humans. Based on Q, we propose an integrating interaction framework system for multi-agent coordination, in which Q scenarios are used to uniformly describe both kinds of interactions. Being in accordance to the characteristics of Q language, the Q-based framework makes the interaction process open and easily understood by the users. Additionally, it makes specific applications of multi-agent systems easy to be established by application designers. By applying agent negotiation in agent-mediated e-commerce and agent cooperation in interoperable information query on the Semantic Web, we illustrate how the presented framework for multi-agent coordination is implemented in concrete applications. At the same time, these two different applications also demonstrate usability of the presented framework and verify validity of Q language.展开更多

In order to calculate the effect of wind forcing on waves and currents, and vice versa, it is necessary to employ a consistent formula- tion of the energy and momentum balance within the airflow, wave field, and water column. It is very advantageous to apply sur- face-following coordinate systems, whereby the steep gradients in mean flow properties near the air-water interface in the cross-interface direction may be resolved over distances which are much smaller than the height of the waves themselves. We may account for the waves explicitly by employing a numerical spectral wave model, and applying a suitable theory of wave–mean flow interaction. If the mean flow is small compared with the wave phase speed, perturbation expansions of the hydrodynamic equations in a Lagrangian or generalized Lagrangian mean framework are useful: for stronger flows, such as for wind blowing over waves, the presence of critical levels where the mean flow velocity is equal to the wave phase speed necessitates the application of more general types of surface-following coordinate system. The interaction of the flow of air and water and associated differences in temperature and the concentration of various substances (such as gas species) gives rise to a complex boundary-layer structure at a wide range of vertical scales, from the sub-millimetre scales of gaseous diffusion, to several tens of metres for the turbulent Ekman layer. The bal- ance of momentum, heat, and mass is also affected significantly by breaking waves, which act to increase the effective area of the surface for mass transfer, and increase turbulent diffusive fluxes via the conversion of wave energy to turbulent kinetic energy.展开更多

Understanding the causes and consequences of a spatiotemporal succession of tourism construction is an important channel to explore the changes of tourism-environment interaction in the protected area. To analyze the spatio-temporal variations in tourism construction lands, we adopted Mt. Bogda as an example. We systematically quantified the interaction between these changes and environmental variables and explored the evolution process of tourism-environment interaction of the mountainous protected area in the northwest arid region. Our results revealed the following:(1) In the Bogda protected area, the proportion of tourism construction lands first appeared to be increasing, then decreasing dramatically, and finally growing slowly. The spatial expansion of tourism construction lands followed the "core-periphery" pattern, respectively showing shapely infilling, reasonable agglomeration, barycenter shift, and outlying growth from 1990 to 2018 as the stages of concentrating on the core.(2) The higher land-use intensity of tourism construction drove the changes of landscape fragmentation, diversity, stability, primitive, and nature degree in the protected area. The coupling coordination between tourism and the environment in the Bogda area decreased at first, and then slowly increased. Meanwhile, tourism did not cause irreversible damage to the natural environment, and the coupling coordination degree between tourism and the environment was still in the state of balanced development. It expressed the states of original balanced, development exceeds environment and barely balanced, and superiorly balanced. The historical evolution of tourism-environment interaction in Bogda reflects the pattern of periodic changes in China’s protected areas to a certain extent.展开更多

There are interesting polynuclear zigzag (PbOs)n chains in the structure of 1, and there have interesting axially chiral S- and R-unit Pb4L units constructed from prochiral organic ligands through C-H...O bonding. The (R/S)-Pb4L units by sharing Pb centers generate a 2-D coordination network, in which there exist rare n65Pb (3.2610 A) interactions. The solid-state photoluminescent emission of compound 1 appears at 487 nm.

文摘Recently,numerous mechanically robust synthetic hydrogels have been created.However,unlike natural loading-bearing materials such as cartilages and muscles,most hydrogels have inherently contradictory requirements,obstructing the design of hydrogels with characteristics of robustness and rapid self-recoverability.Herein,we present a facile strategy for constructing mechanically robust and rapidly self-recoverable hydrogels.The linear poly(acrylamide-co-itaconic acid)chains crosslink via coordination bonds and minimal chemical crosslinkers to form the hydrogel network.Such design endows the coordination interactions to be asymmetrically distributed.Under deformation,the coordination interactions exhibit a reversible dissociation-and-reorganization property,demonstrating a new mechanism for energy dissipation and stress redistribution.Thus,the hydrogels possess tensile strength up to 12.5 MPa and toughness up to 28.2 MJ/m3.Moreover,the inherent dynamic nature of the coordination bonds imparts these hydrogels with stretch rate-and temperature-dependent mechanical behavior as well as excellent self-recovery performance.The method employed in this study is universal and is applicable to other polymers with load-bearing yet rapid recovery conditions.This study will facilitate diverse applications of most metallosupramolecular hydrogels.
文摘Interaction is one of the crucial features of multl-agent systems, in which there are two kinds of interaction: agent-to-agent and human-to-agent. In order to unify the two kinds of interaction while designing multi-agent systems, this paper introduces Q language-a scenario description language for designing interaction among agents and humans. Based on Q, we propose an integrating interaction framework system for multi-agent coordination, in which Q scenarios are used to uniformly describe both kinds of interactions. Being in accordance to the characteristics of Q language, the Q-based framework makes the interaction process open and easily understood by the users. Additionally, it makes specific applications of multi-agent systems easy to be established by application designers. By applying agent negotiation in agent-mediated e-commerce and agent cooperation in interoperable information query on the Semantic Web, we illustrate how the presented framework for multi-agent coordination is implemented in concrete applications. At the same time, these two different applications also demonstrate usability of the presented framework and verify validity of Q language.
文摘Surface waves comprise an important aspect of the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean, so a dynamically consistent framework for modelling atmosphere-ocean interaction must take account of surface waves, either implicitly or explicitly. In order to calculate the effect of wind forcing on waves and currents, and vice versa, it is necessary to employ a consistent formula- tion of the energy and momentum balance within the airflow, wave field, and water column. It is very advantageous to apply sur- face-following coordinate systems, whereby the steep gradients in mean flow properties near the air-water interface in the cross-interface direction may be resolved over distances which are much smaller than the height of the waves themselves. We may account for the waves explicitly by employing a numerical spectral wave model, and applying a suitable theory of wave–mean flow interaction. If the mean flow is small compared with the wave phase speed, perturbation expansions of the hydrodynamic equations in a Lagrangian or generalized Lagrangian mean framework are useful: for stronger flows, such as for wind blowing over waves, the presence of critical levels where the mean flow velocity is equal to the wave phase speed necessitates the application of more general types of surface-following coordinate system. The interaction of the flow of air and water and associated differences in temperature and the concentration of various substances (such as gas species) gives rise to a complex boundary-layer structure at a wide range of vertical scales, from the sub-millimetre scales of gaseous diffusion, to several tens of metres for the turbulent Ekman layer. The bal- ance of momentum, heat, and mass is also affected significantly by breaking waves, which act to increase the effective area of the surface for mass transfer, and increase turbulent diffusive fluxes via the conversion of wave energy to turbulent kinetic energy.
文摘China is a country with a long history of agricultural development,the tr adition of bureaucratic administra-tion and economic management system s for the social development.In its t ransition from traditional society to modern soci-ety during the past 50years,the rela tions between rural areas and urban a reas have been kept abnormal if considered from the point of view of the modernized co untries.Today,China still has its more than 70percent of population,bu t limited capital,lower technology and underdeveloped culture,in the rural areas.This unbalance forms not only the o bstacles to China’s modernization of social development,but also the barriers to th e society,economy and environment sustainable devel-opment.This paper focuses on the dis cussion about the coordinate develo pment of the relations between rural and urban in the past 50years,and the authors hold that only has the abnormal relation between the two areas been corrected,could China’s future development of natio nal economy be successful.

文摘Protected areas have a double mandate of both "protection" and "use." Naturebased tourism is considered an effective tool in terms of environmental conservation. Understanding the causes and consequences of a spatiotemporal succession of tourism construction is an important channel to explore the changes of tourism-environment interaction in the protected area. To analyze the spatio-temporal variations in tourism construction lands, we adopted Mt. Bogda as an example. We systematically quantified the interaction between these changes and environmental variables and explored the evolution process of tourism-environment interaction of the mountainous protected area in the northwest arid region. Our results revealed the following:(1) In the Bogda protected area, the proportion of tourism construction lands first appeared to be increasing, then decreasing dramatically, and finally growing slowly. The spatial expansion of tourism construction lands followed the "core-periphery" pattern, respectively showing shapely infilling, reasonable agglomeration, barycenter shift, and outlying growth from 1990 to 2018 as the stages of concentrating on the core.(2) The higher land-use intensity of tourism construction drove the changes of landscape fragmentation, diversity, stability, primitive, and nature degree in the protected area. The coupling coordination between tourism and the environment in the Bogda area decreased at first, and then slowly increased. Meanwhile, tourism did not cause irreversible damage to the natural environment, and the coupling coordination degree between tourism and the environment was still in the state of balanced development. It expressed the states of original balanced, development exceeds environment and barely balanced, and superiorly balanced. The historical evolution of tourism-environment interaction in Bogda reflects the pattern of periodic changes in China’s protected areas to a certain extent.
文摘Molecularly imprinted polymer, exhibiting considerable enantioselectivity for L-mandelic acid, was prepared using metal coordination-chelation interaction. By evaluating the recognition characteristics in the chromatographic mode, the recognition interactions were proposed: specific and nonspecific metal coordination-chelation interaction and hydrophobic interaction were responsible for substrate binding on metal-complexing imprinted polymer; while the selective recognition only came from specific metal coordination-chelation interaction and specific hydrophobic interaction.

文摘Inspired by Model Predictive Interaction Control(MPIC),this paper proposes differential models for estimating contact geometric parameters and normal-friction forces and formulates an optimal control problem with multiple constraints to allow robots to perform rigid-soft heterogeneous contact tasks.Within the MPIC,robot dynamics are linearized,and Extended Kalman Filters are used for the online estimation of geometry-aware parameters.Meanwhile,a geometry-aware Hertz contact model is introduced for the online estimation of contact forces.We then implement the force-position coordinate optimization by incorporating the contact parameters and interaction force constraints into a gradient-based optimization MPC.Experimental validations were designed for two contact modes:“single-point contact”and“continuous contact”,involving materials with four different Young’s moduli and tested in human arm“relaxation-contraction”task.Results indicate that our framework ensures consistent geometry-aware parameter estimation and maintains reliable force interaction to guarantee safety.Our method reduces the maximum impact force by 50%and decreases the average force error by 42%.The proposed framework has potential applications in medical and industrial tasks involving the manipulation of rigid,soft,and deformable objects.

文摘Economic growth and environmental pollution have become the bases of geopolitical competition due to the multiple constraints of growth in energy consumption and environmental protection in recent decades.Whether the coordinated development of inward foreign direct investment(IFDI)and outward foreign direct investment(OFDI)promote economic growth while reducing environmental pollution and realizing high-quality development affects the overall socialist modernization under China’s“Dual Circulation”policy.Using China’s provincial panel data from 2005 to 2020,this paper first measured green total factor productivity(GTFP)and the coordinated development index(CDIFDI)of IFDI and OFDI via the slacks-based measureglobal Malmquist–Luenberger(SBM-GML)model and the capacity coupling model.A panel threshold model with interactive effects(PTIFEs)was then applied to explore the nonlinear impact of the CDIFDI on China’s GTFP.Finally,a regional heterogeneity analysis was conducted for China’s eastern,central and western regions of China.Results show that(1)GTFP in China kept rising with small fluctuations during the sample period,with the increasing range of GTFP decreasing from east to west.(2)CDIFDI had a significant“U”-shaped threshold effect on GTFP,and the main threshold variables were the industrial structure and the level of economic development.(3)CDIFDI played a positive role in promoting GTFP growth in the eastern region,while the effects of CDIFDI on GTFP in the central and western regions were not significant.Policy-makers and enterprises should comprehensively consider promoting regional industrial upgrading and economic growth to achieve a greater positive impact of CDIFDI on GTFP.Scientifically measuring GTFP and exploring the nonlinear impact of the CDIFDI on GTFP and regional heterogeneity provide helpful references for policy-makers to coordinate the high-quality development of regional economies.

文摘Multi-site coupling is a promising strategy for developing highly efficient and CO-resistant hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR)catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs).However,designing multifunctional synergistic schemes for single-atom sites remains a significant challenge.Herein,we propose a dual-template-confined oxophilic engineering strategy to construct well-dispersed iridium-nickel(IrNi)atomic dimers adjacent to IrNi nanoclusters on porous nitrogen-doped carbon(IrNi_(Dimer/NC1.8)-PNC).The paired IrNi dimer features an asymmetric Ir-N_(3)configuration coordinated with heteroatomic Ni-N_(3)O via an N-bridge.Remarkably,IrNi_(Dimer/NC1.8)-PNC exhibits a~23-fold enhancement in mass activity(4.36 A mg-1Ir at 20 mV)and 5-fold longer stability compared to benchmarking Pt/C toward HOR,while achieving a high rated power density of 1.18 W cm^(-2)in PEMFC anode applications.Furthermore,IrNi_(Dimer/NC1.8)-PNC demonstrates superior CO tolerance over monometallic Ir and Pt/C in both half-cell and full-cell devices.Combined experimental and density functional theory studies reveal that oxophilic Ni modulates the electronic environment of Ir through alloying and dimer interactions,thereby enhancing HOR activity.Importantly,the asymmetric IrNi dimer enables efficient CO^(*)and OH^(*)co-adsorption while facilitating CO_(2)^(*)desorption,synergistically mitigating CO poisoning and improving atom utilization efficiency.This work provides a design strategy and fundamental insights for multi-site synergistic catalysts in PEMFC anodes.
