Enhancing Renewable Energy Integration:A Gaussian-Bare-Bones Levy Cheetah Optimization Approach to Optimal Power Flow in Electrical Networks

In the contemporary era,the global expansion of electrical grids is propelled by various renewable energy sources(RESs).Efficient integration of stochastic RESs and optimal power flow(OPF)management are critical for network optimization.This study introduces an innovative solution,the Gaussian Bare-Bones Levy Cheetah Optimizer(GBBLCO),addressing OPF challenges in power generation systems with stochastic RESs.The primary objective is to minimize the total operating costs of RESs,considering four functions:overall operating costs,voltage deviation management,emissions reduction,voltage stability index(VSI)and power loss mitigation.Additionally,a carbon tax is included in the objective function to reduce carbon emissions.Thorough scrutiny,using modified IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems,validates GBBLCO’s superior performance in achieving optimal solutions.Simulation results demonstrate GBBLCO’s efficacy in six optimization scenarios:total cost with valve point effects,total cost with emission and carbon tax,total cost with prohibited operating zones,active power loss optimization,voltage deviation optimization and enhancing voltage stability index(VSI).GBBLCO outperforms conventional techniques in each scenario,showcasing rapid convergence and superior solution quality.Notably,GBBLCO navigates complexities introduced by valve point effects,adapts to environmental constraints,optimizes costs while considering prohibited operating zones,minimizes active power losses,and optimizes voltage deviation by enhancing the voltage stability index(VSI)effectively.This research significantly contributes to advancing OPF,emphasizing GBBLCO’s improved global search capabilities and ability to address challenges related to local minima.GBBLCO emerges as a versatile and robust optimization tool for diverse challenges in power systems,offering a promising solution for the evolving needs of renewable energy-integrated power grids.

Spatial and Temporal Habitat Use by GPS Collared Male Cheetahs in Modified Bushland Habitat

Cheetahs and other apex predators are threatened by human-wildlife conflict and habitat degradation. Bush encroachment creates one of the biggest forms of habitat change, thus it is important to understand the impact this has on habitat use. We investigated habitat preferences of five male cheetahs in Namibian farmlands degraded by bush encroachment. Cheetahs were tracked using satellite based Global System for Mobile (GSM) collars providing a higher resolution on ranging behavior. We aimed to investigate: 1) habitat characteristics;2) evidence for habitat selection;3) temporal activity partitioning;and 4) whether revisits to locations were related to habitat type. There were differences in habitat characteristics, showing that cheetahs were able to utilise different habitats. Fecal pellet counts revealed that warthog, oryx, scrub hare and kudu were most abundant. The cheetahs spent more time in high visibility shrubland, suggesting they selected rewarding patches within predominantly bush-encroached landscapes. The usage in marginal habitat was strikingly influenced by habitat type, with both previously cleared and open vegetated areas showing high proportions in edge use. Individuals exhibited significant temporal activity partitioning, showing peaks between late afternoon and early morning hours. This finding could be key to managing human-wildlife conflict by showing that increased protection such as the use of herders and livestock guarding dogs should be used as mitigation methods to minimize the impact of cheetah specific temporal patterns at all times as defined in this research. Visits to the same locations were not correlated to habitat type;revisits may be dictated by other reasons such as social interaction, prey density or avoidance of other predators. Findings from this study will help build existing knowledge on the effects bush encroachment has on cheetah habitat preference.

The Role of Copper and Vitamin A Deficiencies Leading to Neurological Signs in Captive Cheetahs(Acinonyx jubatus)and Lions(Panthera leo)in the United Arab Emirates

Neurological signs like ataxia and hind limb paresis have often been reported in cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), lions (Panthera leo) and snow leopards (Panthera unica). As a cause, copper and Vitamin A deficiencies have been discussed. Many cases were seen in cheetahs and lions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) within the last years. The aim of this study was to find correlations between nutrition, serum, and tissue levels, focusing on copper and Vitamin A. Blood and tissue samples of affected and unaffected animals were analyzed at the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory in Dubai, UAE. Animals were split into three different groups (A, B and C) according to their diets. Minerals were determined in serum, tissue, food and water samples, and serum was additionally analyzed for Vitamin A and E. Liver, kidney and spinal cord samples were taken for histopathological investigations. Mean serum copper and liver copper levels of animals fed pure chicken muscle meat without supplements were significantly lower (0.41 ± 0.71 μM/L;2.16 ± 0.95 ppm wet weight) than in animals fed a whole carcass prey diet (12.16 ± 3.42 μM/L;16.01 ± 17.51 ppm wet weight) (p < 0.05). Serum Vitamin A and E levels were highest in animals fed whole carcass prey diets (1.85 ± 0.68;27.31 ± 5.69 μM/L). Liver zinc concentrations were highest in animals fed pure chicken meat only (43.75 ± 16.48 ppm wet weight). In histopathology, demyelination of the spinal cord was found in all of the affected animals and most commonly when fed a diet based on poultry without supplements.

Control of a Cheetah Robot in Passive Bounding Gait

Passive dynamics is always one of research emphases of the legged robots. Studies have proved that cheetah robot could achieve stably passive bounding motion under proper initial conditions in the ideal case. However, the actual robot must have energy dissipation because of friction and collision compared with the theoretical model. This paper aims to propose a control method that can drive the cheetah robot running in passive bounding gait. First, a sagittal-plane model with a rigid torso and two compliant legs is introduced to capture the dynamics of robot bounding. Numerical return map studies of the bounding model reveal that there exists a large variety of passively cyclic bounding motions （fixed points）. Based on the distribution law of fixed points, an open-loop control method including touchdown angle control strategy and leg length control strategy is put forward. At last, prototype of the cheetah robot is designed and manufactured, and locomotion experiment are carried out. The experiment results show that the cheetah robot can achieve a stable bounding motion at different speeds with the proposed control method.

章怀太子墓壁画《狩猎出行图》助猎动物考察

助猎动物有猎犬、鹰隼、猎豹、狞猫等,在我国传世古代绘画中,章怀太子墓壁画《狩猎出行图》是唯一四者兼具的一幅。学界有关《狩猎出行图》的研究甚多,但针对其助猎动物的研究似乎尚未见过。《狩猎出行图》中寻觅出七只犬,其中三只为宠物犬、四只为猎犬。其中一只为细犬,一只为本土田犬,另两只的品种只能臆测。同时找到四只鹰隼,除了最左侧的凤头鹰雕,其余三只的种别也只能臆测。在讨论中,作者认为,图中的猎豹和狞猫,或许仪仗意义大于实际意义。两匹辎重骆驼,一匹驮负炊具,一匹驮负薪柴,由于未驮负营帐,此行应为当日往返。猎取点野味,顺便带着宠物犬出游,或许才是此行的主要目的。附记说明1996年初次研究《狩猎出行图》时,将狞猫误为猞猁的前因后果。

猎豹粪样皮质醇代谢研究

采用放射性免疫法测量猎豹粪样中皮质醇代谢的含量,通过不同时间点的动态采样分析皮质醇含量的变化。在研究的6个雌性猎豹中,粪样皮质醇含量显示它们能够分成3个不同的组,高皮质醇含量的雌性猎豹组(～295.22ng/g粪样,n=2)、中等皮质醇含量雌性猎豹组(～152.29ng/g粪样,n=2)、偏低的皮质醇含量的雌性猎豹组(～94.14ng/g粪样,n=2)。外源压力影响了猎豹的繁殖性能,而皮质醇的代谢水平是反映猎豹来自外源压力的一个重要指标。本研究拟通过猎豹粪样中皮质醇的含量评估动物所处的环境压力水平,为饲养管理水平和饲养环境的改善提供有益的借鉴,进而为解决动物的繁殖问题提供新的思路和方法。
