Specifically, the logarithmic utility function is utilized to address the potential fairness issue that may arise from the maximum sum-rate based objective function and the optical power constraints are set considering the non-negativity of the transmit signal, the requirement of the human eyes safety and all users' quality of service(Qo S). Then, the SSA is utilized to solve this optimization problem. Moreover, to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy, it is compared with the fixed power allocation(FPA) and the gain ratio power allocation(GRPA) schemes. Results show that regardless of the number of users considered, the sum-rate achieved by SSA consistently outperforms that of FPA and GRPA schemes. Specifically, compared to FPA and GRPA schemes, the sum-rate obtained by SSA is increased by 40.45% and 53.44% when the number of users is 7, respectively. The proposed SSA also has better performance in terms of user fairness. This work will benefit the design and development of the NOMA-visible light communication(VLC) systems.展开更多

To elucidate this question,we studied the effect of urbanization on the abundance and distribution of Tree Sparrows in Beijing.We found the abundance of the Tree Sparrow negatively correlated with an urbanization score.Sparrow abundance was very low in residential areas with high-rise buildings,commercial centers and main roads,while their numbers were significantly higher in parks,university campuses,low building residential and suburban areas.Environmental factors within the 50 m and 200 m scales were most suitable in predicting the distribution of Tree Sparrows during winter,while factors within 50 m and 400 m scales are suitable during the breeding season.During winter,the number of conifer trees and pedestrians were the major factors at the 50 m scale,while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation become the predominant factors on a 200 m scale.Alternatively,during the breeding season the area of low buildings and the number of conifers and pedestrians were the main factors on the 50 m scale while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation remained the most important factors on the 400 m scale.These results indicate that highly urbanized areas are not suitable habitats for the Tree Sparrow,although this species can adapt to human environments.Food and nest sites for urban birds should be considered in urban planning of big cities in developing countries.展开更多

Adult tree sparrows were live-trapped by mist net in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province （47°29′N, 124°02′E）. The closed circuit respirometer was used to measure the metabolic rate （MR）, and controlled the ambient temperature by using a water bath （±0.5℃）. Body masses were measured to the nearest 0.01 g before and after BMR measurements with a Sartorius balance （model BT25S）. The mean value was recorded as body mass. Wet and dry masses of several organs were measured, too. BMR was （4.276± 0.385） mL O2/（g·h） and mean body mass was （18.522±0.110） g. Since not all the variables were normal distributed, a log10- transformation of those variables was employed to linearize them, prior to analyses. Simple regression analyses indicated that most organ masses showed a significant high correlation with body mass. Both the small intestine and rectum masses were notable exception to that trend. The body-mass-adjusted residual analysis showed that only the kidney wet mass, brain mass, stomach mass, small mass and rectum wet mass correlated with BMR. In addition, correlations between several organ masses and BMR were observed. Because of the inter-correlations of organ masses, a principal component analysis （PCA） was performed to redefine the morphological variability. The first four components whose eigenvalues were greater than 1 could explain 75.2% variance of BMR. The first component, whose proportion reached 30.19%, was affected mainly by stomach mass, small intestine mass and rectum mass. Therefore, the results supported the hypothesis that BMR was controlled by some ＂expensive metabolic＂ organs展开更多

文摘The welding of medium and thick plates has a wide range of applications in the engineering field.Industrial welding robots are gradually replacing traditional welding operations due to their significant advantages,such as high welding quality,high work efficiency,and effective reduction of labor intensity.Ensuring the accuracy of the welding trajectory for the welding robot is crucial for guaranteeing welding quality.In this paper,the author uses the chaos sparrow search algorithm to optimize the trajectory of a multi-layer and multi-pass welding robot for medium and thick plates.Firstly,the Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)is improved by introducing tent chaotic mapping and Gaussian mutation of the inertia weight factor.Secondly,in order to prevent the welding robot arm from colliding with obstacles in the welding environment during the welding process,maintain the stability of the welding robot,and ensure the continuous stability of the changes in each joint angle,joint angular velocity,and angular velocity of the joint angle,a welding robot model is established by improving the Denavit-Hartenberg parameter method.A multi-objective optimization fitness function is used to optimize the trajectory of the welding robot,minimizing time and energy consumption.Thirdly,the optimization and convergence performance of SSA and Chaos Sparrow Search Algorithm(CSSA)are compared through 10 benchmark test functions.Based on the six sets of test functions,the CSSA algorithm consistently maintains superior optimization performance and has excellent stability,with a faster decline in the convergence curve compared to the SSA algorithm.Finally,the accuracy of welding is tested through V-shaped multi-layer and multi-pass welding experiments.The experimental results show that the CSSA algorithm has a strong superiority in trajectory optimization of multi-layer and multi-pass welding for medium and thick plates,with an accuracy rate of 99.5%.It is an effective optimization method that can meet the actual needs of production.

文摘With rapid urbanization occurring throughout China,the existence of Tree Sparrows (Passer montanus) in big cities is likely to be affected by a decrease in habitat and food availability.Can the urban Tree Sparrow adapt to these changes? To elucidate this question,we studied the effect of urbanization on the abundance and distribution of Tree Sparrows in Beijing.We found the abundance of the Tree Sparrow negatively correlated with an urbanization score.Sparrow abundance was very low in residential areas with high-rise buildings,commercial centers and main roads,while their numbers were significantly higher in parks,university campuses,low building residential and suburban areas.Environmental factors within the 50 m and 200 m scales were most suitable in predicting the distribution of Tree Sparrows during winter,while factors within 50 m and 400 m scales are suitable during the breeding season.During winter,the number of conifer trees and pedestrians were the major factors at the 50 m scale,while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation become the predominant factors on a 200 m scale.Alternatively,during the breeding season the area of low buildings and the number of conifers and pedestrians were the main factors on the 50 m scale while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation remained the most important factors on the 400 m scale.These results indicate that highly urbanized areas are not suitable habitats for the Tree Sparrow,although this species can adapt to human environments.Food and nest sites for urban birds should be considered in urban planning of big cities in developing countries.

文摘The sparrow search algorithm(SSA)is a newly proposed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the sparrowforaging principle.Similar to other meta-heuristic algorithms,SSA has problems such as slowconvergence speed and difficulty in jumping out of the local optimum.In order to overcome these shortcomings,a chaotic sparrow search algorithm based on logarithmic spiral strategy and adaptive step strategy(CLSSA)is proposed in this paper.Firstly,in order to balance the exploration and exploitation ability of the algorithm,chaotic mapping is introduced to adjust the main parameters of SSA.Secondly,in order to improve the diversity of the population and enhance the search of the surrounding space,the logarithmic spiral strategy is introduced to improve the sparrow search mechanism.Finally,the adaptive step strategy is introduced to better control the process of algorithm exploitation and exploration.The best chaotic map is determined by different test functions,and the CLSSA with the best chaotic map is applied to solve 23 benchmark functions and 3 classical engineering problems.The simulation results show that the iterative map is the best chaotic map,and CLSSA is efficient and useful for engineering problems,which is better than all comparison algorithms.

文摘BMR （basal metabolic rate）, body mass and organ masses of tree sparrows （Passer montanus） were measured to analyze the correlation between organ masses and BMR in tree sparrows, and to evaluate the underlying physiological causes of difference in BMR. Adult tree sparrows were live-trapped by mist net in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province （47°29′N, 124°02′E）. The closed circuit respirometer was used to measure the metabolic rate （MR）, and controlled the ambient temperature by using a water bath （±0.5℃）. Body masses were measured to the nearest 0.01 g before and after BMR measurements with a Sartorius balance （model BT25S）. The mean value was recorded as body mass. Wet and dry masses of several organs were measured, too. BMR was （4.276± 0.385） mL O2/（g·h） and mean body mass was （18.522±0.110） g. Since not all the variables were normal distributed, a log10- transformation of those variables was employed to linearize them, prior to analyses. Simple regression analyses indicated that most organ masses showed a significant high correlation with body mass. Both the small intestine and rectum masses were notable exception to that trend. The body-mass-adjusted residual analysis showed that only the kidney wet mass, brain mass, stomach mass, small mass and rectum wet mass correlated with BMR. In addition, correlations between several organ masses and BMR were observed. Because of the inter-correlations of organ masses, a principal component analysis （PCA） was performed to redefine the morphological variability. The first four components whose eigenvalues were greater than 1 could explain 75.2% variance of BMR. The first component, whose proportion reached 30.19%, was affected mainly by stomach mass, small intestine mass and rectum mass. Therefore, the results supported the hypothesis that BMR was controlled by some ＂expensive metabolic＂ organs
