Dynamic Analysis for the Global Performance of An SPM-Feeder-Cage System Under Waves and Currents

In the present study, the dynamic response of a coupled SPM-feeder-cage system under irregular waves and shear currents is analyzed. A numerical model is developed by using the commercial software Orca Flex. Hydrodynamics coefficients of the vessel are calculated by using a 3D diffraction/radiation panel program. First- and second-order wave forces are included in the calculations. Morison equation is used to compute the drag force on line elements representing the net. Drag coefficients are determined at every time step in the simulation considering the relative normal velocity between the structural elements and the fluid flow. The dynamic response of the coupled system is analyzed for various environments and net materials. The results of the study show the effects of solidity ratio of the net and vertical positions of the cage on the overall dynamic response of the system, confirming the viability of this type of configuration for future development of offshore aquaculture in deep waters.

Extracting Moving Objects Based on Morphological Motion Filter

This paper presents a new approach to the extraction of a moving object from video sequence. The method is based on morphological motion filter using connected operator and a proposed new filtering criterion. The morphological motion filter aims to detect motion which is distinct from that of the background, and thereby locates independently moving physical objects in the scenes. Experiments show that the algorithm can extract object from moving backgrounds efficiently.

Resistance Distance and Kirchhoff Index of a Class of Join Graphs

For some complicated graphs obtained by graph operations,it is very difficult to compute resistance distance and Kirchhoff index.Define a new graph operation,and obtain a class of new join graphs:the subdivision-vertex-vertex join G_1* G_2.Then,describe the Laplacian matrix of the graph G_1 * G_2 and use generalized inverse of the Laplacian matrix to get formulas for resistance distance and Kirchhoff index.Through the obtained formulas,the resistance distance of any pairs of vertices and Kirchhoff index of the join graph can be computed.

Ontology-Based Semantic Multi-agent Framework for Micro-grids with Cyber Physical Concept

The distributed hierarchical control based on multi-agent system(MAS) is the main control method of micro-grids.By allowing more flexible interactions between computing components and their physical environments,cyber physical system(CPS) presents a new approach for the distributed hierarchical engineering system,with micro-grids included.The object of this paper is to integrate the CPS concept with MAS technology and propose a new control framework for micro-grids.With the analysis of the operating mode and control method of micro-grids,the cyber physical control concepts of ontologybased semantic agent are discussed.Then an MAS-based architecture of cyber physical micro-grid system and an intelligent electronic device(IED) function structure are proposed.Finally,in order to operate and test the cyber physical micro-grid concept,an integrated simulation model is presented.

The approximate Jordan forms of operators on Σ_e^1 type Banach spaces

This paper studies the structure of operators on Σ1e type Banach spaces.It solves the problem of the small compact perturbations of operators with connected spectra.Namely,it shows that every operator with a connected spectrum on separable Σ1e type Banach spaces is a small compact perturbation of a strongly irreducible operator.Based on this result,this paper establishes the approximate Jordan forms of operators on Σ1e type Banach spaces with Schauder bases.
