文摘Finding the right balance between timber production and the management of forest-dependent wildlife species,present a difficult challenge for forest resource managers and policy makers in Okinawa,Japan.A possible explanation of this can be found in the unique nature of the forest management area which is populated with various kinds of rare and endangered species.This issue has been brought to light as a result of the nomination of northern Okinawa Island in 2018 as a candidate for World Natural Heritage site.The nomination has raised public awareness to the possibility of conflicting management objectives between timber extraction and the conservation of habitat for forest-dependent wildlife species.Managing exclusively for one objective over the other may fail to meet the demand for both forest products and wildlife habitat,ultimately jeopardizing the stability of human and wildlife communities.It is therefore important to achieve a better balance between the objective of timber production and conservation of wildlife habitat.Despite the significance of this subject area,current ongoing discussions on how to effectively manage for forest resources,often lack scientific basis to make sound judgement or evaluate tradeoffs between conflicting objectives.Quantifying the effect of these forest management activities on wildlife habitat provides useful and important information needed to make forest management and policy decisions.In this study we develop a spatial timber harvest scheduling model that incorporates habitat suitability index(HSI)models for the Okinawa Rail(Gallirallus okinawae),an endangered avian species found on Okinawa,Japan.To illustrate how the proposed coupling model assembles spatial information,which ultimately aids the study of forest management effects on wildlife habitat,we apply these models to a forest area in Okinawa and conduct a simple simulation analysis.

As we know,the preheating furnace is a dissipation system to obey conservation of energy law,that is to say that input energy always equals to output energy,in the meantime,the whole energy consuming is not reversible.Therefore increasing the efficiency of using energy is uppermost.In this paper,heating transfer efficiency is analysed and mathematical expression is given based on conservation of energy law.Typical optimal methods to improve preheating furnace transfer efficiency coming from foreign factories are presented.According to these methods,every furnace zone temperatures as control variable,target discharging temperature and temperature difference in slab thickness and the temperature between neighbouring zones as well as zone temporary temperature as restrictions,minimal energy consuming as optimizing target.Baosteel preheating furnace model structure and the complicated mapping relation of control parameter set and state set and aim set are presented.Important basic models in the preheating furnace model system are analysed including temperature tracking model and temperature forecasting model and discharging pacing model and slab heating curve.First slab temperature model structure and its peripheric parameter are introduced;second two pacing models are given including timing pacing mode using fixed discharging interval and mill pacing control mode using mill rolling pacing while Baosteel pacing forecasting model using long term and short term forecasting mode) is given;third a heating curve mathematical model considering heating quality and rolling pace and energy consuming is presented;in the end summary is done and the future way is lighted.Baosteel heating model including slab and billet and steel ingot have been developed,the actual applications show a good effect.The future woks include working procedure saving energy and system saving energy considering " Oder and rule" to achieve system harmony and rhythmization.Baosteel Blooming furnaces scheduling system is very useful for smooth production and saving energy.
文摘In power plants,flue gases can cause severe corrosion damage in metallic parts such as flue ducts,heat exchangers,and boilers.Coating is an effective technique to prevent this damage.A robust fuzzy model of the surface roughness(Ra and Rz)of flue gas ducts coated by protective composite coating from epoxy and nanoparticles was constructed based on the experimental dataset.The proposed model consists of four nanoparticles(ZnO,ZrO2,SiO2,and NiO)with 2%,4%,6%,and 8%,respectively.Response surface methodology(RSM)was used to optimize the process parameters and identify the optimal conditions for minimum surface roughness of this coated duct.To prove the superiority of the proposed fuzzy model,the model results were compared with those obtained by ANOVA,with the coefficient of determination and the root-mean-square error(RMSE)used as metrics.For Ra,for the first output response,using ANOVA,the coefficient-of-determination values were 0.9137 and 0.4037,respectively,for training and prediction.Similarly,for Rz,the second output response,the coefficient-of-determination results were 0.9695 and 0.4037,respectively,for training and prediction.In the fuzzy modeling of Ra,for the first output response,the RMSE values were 0.0 and 0.1455,respectively,for training and testing.The values for the coefficient of determination were 1.00 and 0.9807,respectively,for training and testing.The results prove the superiority of fuzzy modeling.For modeling the second output response Rz,the RMSE values were 0.0 and 0.0421,respectively,for training and testing,and the coefficient-of-determination values were 1.00 and 0.9959,respectively,for training and testing.

文摘Taking the rubber torsion bushing of a certain type of all-terrain tracked vehicle as the research object,a theoretical model of torsional stiffness was proposed according to the non-linear characteristics of rubber components and structural feature of the suspension. Simulations were carried out under different working conditions to obtain root mean square of vertical weighted acceleration as the evaluation index for ride performance of the all-terrain tracked vehicle,with a dynamics model of the whole vehicle based on the theoretical model of the torsional stiffness and standard road roughness as excitation input. Response surface method was used to establish the parametric optimization model of the torsional stiffness. The evaluation index showed that ride performance of the vehicle with optimized torsional stiffness model of suspension was improved compared with previous model fromexperiment. The torsional stiffness model of rubber bushing provided a theoretical basis for the design of the rubber torsion bushing in light tracked vehicles.

文摘To reduce the comprehensive costs of the construction and operation of microgrids and to minimize the power fluctuations caused by randomness and intermittency in distributed generation,a double-layer optimizing configuration method of hybrid energy storage microgrid based on improved grey wolf optimization(IGWO)is proposed.Firstly,building a microgrid system containing a wind-solar power station and electric-hydrogen coupling hybrid energy storage system.Secondly,the minimum comprehensive cost of the construction and operation of the microgrid is taken as the outer objective function,and the minimum peak-to-valley of the microgrid’s daily output is taken as the inner objective function.By iterating through the outer and inner layers,the system improves operational stability while achieving economic configuration.Then,using the energy-self-smoothness of the microgrid as the evaluation index,a double-layer optimizing configuration method of the microgrid is constructed.Finally,to improve the disadvantages of grey wolf optimization(GWO),such as slow convergence in the later period and easy falling into local optima,by introducing the convergence factor nonlinear adjustment strategy and Cauchy mutation operator,an IGWO with excellent global performance is proposed.After testing with the typical test functions,the superiority of IGWO is verified.Next,using IGWO to solve the double-layer model.The case analysis shows that compared to GWO and particle swarm optimization(PSO),the IGWO reduced the comprehensive cost by 15.6%and 18.8%,respectively.Therefore,the proposed double-layer optimizationmethod of capacity configuration ofmicrogrid with wind-solar-hybrid energy storage based on IGWO could effectively improve the independence and stability of the microgrid and significantly reduce the comprehensive cost.

文摘Due to the security and scalability features of hybrid cloud architecture,it can bettermeet the diverse requirements of users for cloud services.And a reasonable resource allocation solution is the key to adequately utilize the hybrid cloud.However,most previous studies have not comprehensively optimized the performance of hybrid cloud task scheduling,even ignoring the conflicts between its security privacy features and other requirements.Based on the above problems,a many-objective hybrid cloud task scheduling optimization model(HCTSO)is constructed combining risk rate,resource utilization,total cost,and task completion time.Meanwhile,an opposition-based learning knee point-driven many-objective evolutionary algorithm(OBL-KnEA)is proposed to improve the performance of model solving.The algorithm uses opposition-based learning to generate initial populations for faster convergence.Furthermore,a perturbation-based multipoint crossover operator and a dynamic range mutation operator are designed to extend the search range.By comparing the experiments with other excellent algorithms on HCTSO,OBL-KnEA achieves excellent results in terms of evaluation metrics,initial populations,and model optimization effects.

文摘In order to ensure the effective analysis and reconstruction of forests,it is key to ensure the quantitative description of their spatial structure.In this paper,a distance model for the optimal stand spatial structure based on weighted Voronoi diagrams is proposed.In particular,we provide a novel methodological model for the comprehensive evaluation of the spatial structure of forest stands in natural mixed conifer-broadleaved forests and the formulation of management decision plans.The applicability of the rank evaluation and the optimal solution distance model are compared and assessed for different standard sample plots of natural mixed conifer-broadleaved forests.The effect of crown width on the spatial structure unit of the trees is observed to be higher than that of the diameter at breast height.Moreover,the influence of crown length is greater than that of tree height.There are nine possible spatial structure units determined by the weighted Voronoi diagram for the number of neighboring trees in the central tree,with an average intersection of neighboring crowns reaching 80%.The rank rating of natural forest sample plots is correlated with the optimal solution distance model,and their results are generally consistent for natural forests.However,the rank rating is not able to provide a quantitative assessment.The optimal solution distance model is observed to be more comprehensive than traditional methods for the evaluation of the spatial structure of forest stands.It can effectively reflect the trends in realistic stand spatial structure factors close to or far from the ideal structure point,and accurately assesses the forest spatial structure.The proposed optimal solution distance model improves the integrated evaluation of the spatial structure of forest stands and provides solid theoretical and technical support for sustainable forest management.

文摘The combination of the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)and digital twin(DT)technology makes it possible for the DT model to realize the dynamic perception of equipment status and performance.However,conventional digital modeling is weak in the fusion and adjustment ability between virtual and real information.The performance prediction based on experience greatly reduces the inclusiveness and accuracy of the model.In this paper,a DT-IIoT optimization model is proposed to improve the real-time representation and prediction ability of the key equipment state.Firstly,a global real-time feedback and the dynamic adjustment mechanism is established by combining DT-IIoT with algorithm optimization.Secondly,a strong screening dual-model optimization(SSDO)prediction method based on Stacking integration and fusion is proposed in the dynamic regulation mechanism.Lightweight screening and multi-round optimization are used to improve the prediction accuracy of the evolution model.Finally,tak-ing the boiler performance of a power plant in Shanxi as an example,the accurate representation and evolution prediction of boiler steam quantity is realized.The results show that the real-time state representation and life cycle performance prediction of large key equipment is optimized through these methods.The self-lifting ability of the Stacking integration and fusion-based SSDO prediction method is 15.85%on average,and the optimal self-lifting ability is 18.16%.The optimization model reduces the MSE loss from the initial 0.318 to the optimal 0.1074,and increases R2 from the initial 0.731 to the optimal 0.9092.The adaptability and reliability of the model are comprehensively improved,and better prediction and analysis results are achieved.This ensures the stable operation of core equipment,and is of great significance to comprehensively understanding the equipment status and performance.
