Integrated and Unintegrated Parton Distributions

We compare the twist-2 and twist-4 parton distributions both in integrated and unintegrated parton distributions. We find that when x decreases the difference between the twist-2 and twist-4 patton distributions become obvious except for the valence quark distributions. We hope the future experiments may distinguish whether the twist-4 correction is needed or not and select a reasonable unintegrated parton distribution model

On the generalized Cauchy function and new Conjecture on its exterior singularities

This article studies on Cauchy’s function f （z） and its integral, （2πi）J[ f （z）] ≡ ■C f （t）dt/（t z） taken along a closed simple contour C, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire z = x ＋ iy plane consisted of the simply connected open domain D ＋ bounded by C and the open domain D outside C. （1） With f （z） assumed to be C n （n ∞-times continuously differentiable） z ∈ D ＋ and in a neighborhood of C, f （z） and its derivatives f （n） （z） are proved uniformly continuous in the closed domain D ＋ = [D ＋ ＋ C]. （2） Cauchy’s integral formulas and their derivatives z ∈ D ＋ （or z ∈ D ） are proved to converge uniformly in D ＋ （or in D = [D ＋C]）, respectively, thereby rendering the integral formulas valid over the entire z-plane. （3） The same claims （as for f （z） and J[ f （z）]） are shown extended to hold for the complement function F（z）, defined to be C n z ∈ D and about C. （4） The uniform convergence theorems for f （z） and F（z） shown for arbitrary contour C are adapted to find special domains in the upper or lower half z-planes and those inside and outside the unit circle ｜z｜ = 1 such that the four general- ized Hilbert-type integral transforms are proved. （5） Further, the singularity distribution of f （z） in D is elucidated by considering the direct problem exemplified with several typ- ical singularities prescribed in D . （6） A comparative study is made between generalized integral formulas and Plemelj’s formulas on their differing basic properties. （7） Physical sig- nificances of these formulas are illustrated with applicationsto nonlinear airfoil theory. （8） Finally, an unsolved inverse problem to determine all the singularities of Cauchy function f （z） in domain D , based on the continuous numerical value of f （z） z ∈ D ＋ = [D ＋ ＋ C], is presented for resolution as a conjecture.

This paper explains why as a manager employing recent Chinese University graduates cannot manage them using traditional management styles. Management is very similar to a negotiation. The manager must change their ＂negotiation style＂ to manage their Chinese graduates into a valuable addition to their enterprise.

A Least-squares-based Iterative Method with Better Convergence for PF/OPF in Integrated Transmission and Distribution Networks

The limitations of the conventional master-slavesplitting(MSS)method,which is commonly applied to power flow and optimal power flow in integrated transmission and distribution(I-T&D)networks,are first analyzed.Considering that the MSS method suffers from a slow convergence rate or even divergence under some circumstances,a least-squares-based iterative(LSI)method is proposed.Compared with the MSS method,the LSI method modifies the iterative variables in each iteration by solving a least-squares problem with the information in previous iterations.A practical implementation and a parameter tuning strategy for the LSI method are discussed.Furthermore,a LSI-PF method is proposed to solve I-T&D power flow and a LSIheterogeneous decomposition(LSI-HGD)method is proposed to solve optimal power flow.Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed LSI-PF and LSI-HGD methods can achieve the same accuracy as the benchmark methods.Meanwhile,these LSI methods,with appropriate settings,significantly enhance the convergence and efficiency of conventional methods.Also,in some cases,where conventional methods diverge,these LSI methods can still converge.

Active Dynamic Aggregation Model for Distributed Integrated Energy System as Virtual Power Plant

Distributed integrated multi-energy systems(DIMSs)can be regarded as virtual power plants to provide additional flexibility to the power system.This paper proposes a robust active dynamic aggregation model for the DIMSs to describe the maximum feasible region.The aggregation model includes the power constraints,energy constraints,and ramping constraints to aggregate different types of resources in the DIMSs.The proposed generator-like and storage-like model does not depend on the ancillary service market and can be directly incorporated into the economic dispatch model of the power system.A novel algorithm based on the column-and-constraint generation algorithm and convex-concave procedure is proposed to solve the two-stage robust optimization problem,which is more efficient than the KKT-based algorithms.Finally,a case study of an actual DIMS is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Distributed continuation power flow method for integrated transmission and active distribution network

As the integration of distributed generations(DGs)transforms the traditional distribution network into the active distribution network,voltage stability assessments(VSA)of transmission grid and distribution grid are not suitable to be studied separately.This paper presents a distributed continuation power flow method for VSA of global transmission and distribution grid.Two different parameterization schemes are adopted to guarantee the coherence of load growth in transmission and distribution grids.In the correction step,the boundary bus voltage,load parameter and equivalent power are communicated between the transmission and distribution control centers to realize the distributed computation of load margin.The optimal multiplier technique is used to improve the convergence of the proposed method.The three-phase unbalanced characteristic of distribution networks and the reactive capability limits of DGs are considered.Simulation results on two integrated transmission and distribution test systems show that the proposed method is effective.

Optimization of Distributed Integrated Multi-energy System Considering Industrial Process Based on Energy Hub

As a typical scenario of distributed integrated multi-energy system(DIMS),industrial park contains complex production constraints and strong associations between industrial productions and energy demands.The industrial production process(IPP)consists of controllable subtasks and strict timing constraints.Taking IPP as a control variable of optimal scheduling,it is an available approach that models the IPP as material flow into an extension energy hub(EH)to achieve the optimization of industrial park.In this paper,considering the coupling between the production process and energy demands,a model of IPP is proposed by dividing the process into different adjustable steps,including continuous subtask,discrete subtask,and storage subtask.Then,a transport model of material flow is used to describe the IPP in an industrial park DIMS.Based on the concept of EH,a universal extension EH model is proposed considering the coupling among electricity,heat,cooling,and material.Furthermore,an optimal scheduling method for industrial park DIMS is proposed to improve the energy efficiency and operation economy.Finally,a case study of a typical battery factory is shown to illustrate the proposed method.The simulation results demonstrate that such a method reduces the operation cost and accurately reflects the operation state of the industrial factory.

Stable single-mode operation of a distributed feedback quantum cascade laser integrated with a distributed Bragg reflector

We report an index-coupled distributed feedback quantum cascade laser by employing an equivalent phase shift(EPS) of quarter-wave integrated with a distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) at λ~5.03 μm. The EPS is fabricated through extending one sampling period by 50% in the center of a sampled Bragg grating. The key EPS and DBR pattern are fabricated by conventional holographic exposure combined with the optical photolithography technology, which leads to improved flexibility, repeatability, and cost-effectiveness. Stable single-mode emission can be obtained by changing the injection current or heat sink temperature even under the condition of large driving pulse width.

Multiwavelength generation using an add-drop microring resonator integrated with an InGaAsP/InP sampled grating distributed feedback

A system of an add-drop microring resonator integrated with a sampled grating distributed feedback （SG-DFB） is investigated via modeling and simulation with the time-domain traveling wave （TDTW） method. The proposed microring resonator comprises a SiO2 waveguide integrated with an InGaAsP/InP SG-DFB, and the SiO2 waveguide consists of a silicon core having a refractive index of 3.48 and Kerr co- efficient of 4.5 × 10^-18 m2/W. The SG-DFB consists of a series of grating bursts that are constructed using a periodic apodization function with a burst spacing in the grating of 45 μm, a burst length of 5 μm, and I0 bursts across the total length of the SG-DBR. Transmission results of the through and drop port of the microring resonator show the significant capacity enhancement of the generated center wavelengths. The Q-factor of the microring resonator system, defined as the center wavelength （λ0） divided by 3 dB FWHM, without and with integration with the SG-DFB is calculated as 1.93 × 10^5 and 2.87 × 10^5, respectively. Analysis of the dispersion of the system reveals that increasing the wavelength results in a decrease of the dispersion. The higher capacity and efficiency are the advantages of integrating the microring resonator and the InGaAsP/InP SG-DFB.

Operational Risk Assessment for Integrated Transmission and Distribution Networks

To satisfy the requirements of accurate operationalrisk assessment of integrated transmission and distribution networks (I-T&D), an integrated operational risk assessment (IORA) algorithm is proposed. Specific cases demonstrate thatan I-ORA is necessary because it provides accurate handlingof the coupling between transmission and distribution networks,accurate analysis of power supply mode (PSM) changes ofimportant users and helps to improve security and stability ofpower grid operations. Two key technical requirements in theI-ORA algorithm are realized, i.e., integrated topology analysisand integrated power flow calculation. Under a certain contingency, integrated topology analysis is used to assess the risksof substation power cuts, network split and PSM changes ofimportant users, while the integrated power flow calculation,based on the self-adaptive Levenburg-Marquard method andNewton method, can be implemented to assess risks of heavyload/overload and voltage deviation. In addition, the graphicsprocessing unit is used to parallelly process some computationintensive steps. Numerical experiments show that the proposedI-ORA algorithm can realize accurate assessment for the entireI-T&D. In addition, the efficiency and convergence are satisfying,indicating the proposed I-ORA algorithm can significantly benefitreal practice in the coordination operation of I-T&D in the future.

Integrated Distribution Management System:Architecture,Functions,and Application in China

As massive distributed energy resources(DERs)are integrated into distribution networks(DNs)and the distribution automation facilities are widely deployed,the DNs are evolving to active distribution networks(ADNs).This paper introduces the architecture and main function modules of an integrated distribution management system(IDMS)and its applica-tions in China.This system consists of three subsystems,including the real-time operation and control system(OCS),outage management system(OMS),and operator training simulator(OTS).The OCS has a hierarchical architecture with three levels,including the local controller for DER clusters,the optimization of DNs incorporated with multi-clusters,and the coordina-tion operation of integrated transmission&distribution(T&D)networks.The OMS is developed based on the geographical information system(GIS)and coordinated with OCS.While in the OTS,both the ADN and its host transmission network(TN)are simulated to make the simulation results more credible.The main functions of the three subsystems and their interaction data flows are described and some typical application scenarios are also presented.

Six-day measurement of size-resolved indoor fluorescent bioaerosols of outdoor origin in an office

Indoor airborne bioaerosols of outdoor origin play an important role in determining the exposure of humans to bioaerosols because people spend most of their time indoors. However, there are few studies focusing on indoor bioaerosols originating from outdoors. In this study, indoor versus outdoor size-resolved concentrations and particle asymmetry factors of airborne fluorescent bioaerosols in an office room were measured continuously for 6 days （144 h） using a fluorescent bioaerosol detector. The windows and door of this room were closed to ensure that there was only air infiltration; moreover, any human activities were ceased during sampling to inhibit effects of indoor sources. We focused on fine particles, since few coarse particles enter indoor environments, when windows and doors are closed. Both indoor and outdoor fluorescent bioaerosol size distributions were fit with two-mode lognormal distributions （indoor R2 = 0.935, outdoor R2 = 0.938）. Asymmetry factor distributions were also fit with lognormal distributions （indoor R2 = 0.992, outdoor R2 = 0.992）. Correlations between indoor and outdoor fluorescent bioaerosol concentrations show significant concentration-attenuation and a time lag during the study period. A two-parameter, semi-empirical model was used to predict concentrations of indoor fluorescent bioaerosols of outdoor origin. The measured and predicted concentrations had a linear relationship for the studied size fractions, with an R2 for all size fractions of larger than 0.83.

Estimates for the Tail Probability of the Supremum of a Random Walk with Independent Increments

The authors investigate the tail probability of the supremum of a random walk with independent increments and obtain some equivalent assertions in the case that the increments are independent and identically distributed random variables with Osubexponential integrated distributions.A uniform upper bound is derived for the distribution of the supremum of a random walk with independent but non-identically distributed increments,whose tail distributions are dominated by a common tail distribution with an O-subexponential integrated distribution.
