The new algorithm employs opposition based learning concept to generate initial population and also updating agents’ positions. The proposed OBFA is applied for minimization of the factor of safety and search for critical failure surface in slope stability analysis. The numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the new algorithm.展开更多

David, the most complicated figure in Bible, is just a case in point. From this perspective, this paper tries to use the principle of binary opposition to analyze the characterization of David in Bible, that is, David's tolerance vs. vengeance, piety vs. impiety, and iron heart vs. sentiment.展开更多

It is found that the streamwise enstrophy and the spanwise enstrophy are suppressed by the attenuation of the stretching terms at first, while the vertical enstrophy is reduced by inhibiting the tilt of the mean shear. In the initial period of the control, the streamwise enstrophy evolves much slower than the other two components. The vertical vorticity component exhibits a rapid monotonic decrease and also plays an important role in the attenuation of the other two components.展开更多

文摘Unity and opposite are the two basic attributes of contradiction and the basic law of the materialistic dialectics.And the Taoist color view of"black and white"directly reflects such a law of unity of opposites.This paper attempts to discuss the relationship between the unities of opposites—black and white,uncovering the interdependent,inter-infiltrating and inter- conversional relationship of changes in temperature,movement and lightness,false and true and existence and non-existence of black and white.At the same time,this paper expounds the dialectical relationship of unity and opposite,trying to have a better understanding of the cosmology,view of life and philosophical connotation of Taoism from the two opposite colors— black and white.
