Phase Transition in Recovery Process of Complex Networks

The dynamic characteristic of complex network failure and recovery is one of the main research topics in complex networks. Real world systems such as traffic jams and Internet recovery could be described by the complex network theory. We propose a model to study the recovery process in complex networks. Two different recovery mechanisms are considered in three kinds of networks： external recovery and internal recovery. By simulating the process of the nodes recovery in networks, it is found that the system exhibits the feature of first-order phase transition only when the external recovery is considered. Internal recovery cannot induce such a kind of transitions. As external recovery and internal recovery coexist on networks, the systems will retain the most efficient part of external recovery and internal recovery. Meanwhile, a hysteresis could be observed when increasing or decreasing the failure probability. Finally, a largest degree node protection strategy is proposed for improving the robustness of networks.

Recent progress on equation-oriented optimization of complex chemical processes

Process optimization in equation-oriented(EO)modeling environments favors the gradient-based optimization algorithms by their abilities to provide accurate Jacobian matrices via automatic or symbolic differentiation.However,computational inefficiencies including that in initial-point-finding for Newton type methods have significantly limited its application.Recently,progress has been made in using a pseudo-transient(PT)modeling method to address these difficulties,providing a fresh way forward in EO-based optimization.Nevertheless,research in this area remains open,and challenges need to be addressed.Therefore,understanding the state-of-the-art research on the PT method,its principle,and the strategies in composing effective methodologies using the PT modeling method is necessary for further developing EO-based methods for process optimization.For this purpose,the basic concepts for the PT modeling and the optimization framework based on the PT model are reviewed in this paper.Several typical applications,e.g.,complex distillation processes,cryogenic processes,and optimizations under uncertainty,are presented as well.Finally,we identify several main challenges and give prospects for the development of the PT based optimization methods.

The copolymerization process of triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) using chiral anionic complex initiator (-) SP-FlLi (Scheme 1) has beenstudied in toluene and THF, respectively. The copolymer obtained in toluene possessed muchhigher specific rotation than that in THF. These copolymers have shown a tendency to a random and a like alternating structure, respectively.

Q-Learning-Based Pesticide Contamination Prediction in Vegetables and Fruits

Pesticides have become more necessary in modern agricultural production.However,these pesticides have an unforeseeable long-term impact on people's wellbeing as well as the ecosystem.Due to a shortage of basic pesticide exposure awareness,farmers typically utilize pesticides extremely close to harvesting.Pesticide residues within foods,particularly fruits as well as veggies,are a significant issue among farmers,merchants,and particularly consumers.The residual concentrations were far lower than these maximal allowable limits,with only a few surpassing the restrictions for such pesticides in food.There is an obligation to provide a warning about this amount of pesticide use in farming.Previous technologies failed to forecast the large number of pesticides that were dangerous to people,necessitating the development of improved detection and early warning systems.A novel methodology for verifying the status and evaluating the level of pesticides in regularly consumed veggies as well as fruits has been identified,named as the Hybrid Chronic Multi-Residual Framework(HCMF),in which the harmful level of used pesticide residues has been predicted for contamination in agro products using Q-Learning based Recurrent Neural Network and the predicted contamination levels have been analyzed using Complex Event Processing(CEP)by processing given spatial and sequential data.The analysis results are used to minimize and effectively use pesticides in the agricultural field and also ensure the safety of farmers and consumers.Overall,the technique is carried out in a Python environment,with the results showing that the proposed model has a 98.57%accuracy and a training loss of 0.30.

Optimization Techniques for RFID Complex Event Processing

One research crucial to wider adoption of Radio Frequency Identification （RFID） technology is how to efficiently transform sequences of RFID readings into meaningful business events. Contrary to traditional events, RFID readings are usually of high volume and velocity, and have the attributes representing their reading objects, occurrence times and spots. Based on these characteristics and the Non-deterministic Finite Automata （NFA） implementation framework, this paper studies the performance issues of RFID complex event processing and proposes corresponding optimization techniques. Our techniques include： （1） taking advantage of negation events or exclusiveness between events to prune intermediate results, thus reduces memory consumption; （2） with different selectivities of complex events, purposefully reordering the join operations between events to improve overall efficiency, achieve higher stream throughput; （3） utilizing the slot-based or B＋-tree-based approach to optimizing the processing performance with the time window constraint. We present the analytical results of these techniques and validate their effectiveness through experiments.

Evolution of windblown sand flux and dune field——Trans-scale modeling and simulation

Windblown sand flux and dune field evolving toward the oasis have been a common ecological and environmental threat confronted by many countries.Meanwhile,it is also a kind of complex dynamical process involving multiple temporal and spatial scales which is still out of accurate description through current field observations.Available models and reliable quantitative simulations are of significant value to predict the spreading rate of desertification and provide an optimal design for sand prevention.This paper presents a 'triple-jump' method to realize quantitative simulations to the formation and evolution of an aeolian dune field from an arbitrary initial configuration.Simulated results achieve a satisfactory agreement with observations qualitatively and quantitatively,which also reveal the characteristics and dynamical behaviors of dunes and dune field.Such a paradigm is of a good level of generality,which provides an exploratory probe into the subject of multi-scale physics.

Aggressive Complex Event Processing with Confidence over Out-of-Order Streams

In recent years, there has been a growing need for complex event processing （CEP）, ranging from supply chain management to security monitoring. In many scenarios events are generated in different sources but arrive at the central server out of order, due to the differences of network latencies. Most state-of-the-art techniques process out-of-order events by buffering the events until the total event order within a specified range can be guaranteed. Their main problems are leading to increasing response time and reducing system throughput. This paper aims to build a high performance out-of- order event processing mechanism, which can match events as soon as they arrive instead of buffering them till all arrive. A suffix-automaton-based event matching algorithm is proposed to speed up query processing, and a confidence-based accuracy evaluation is proposed to control the query result quality. The performance of our approach is evaluated through detailed accuracy and response time analysis. As experimental results show, our approach can obviously speed up the query matching time and produce reasonable query results.

PLATFORM SELECTION FOR COMPLEX SYSTEMS:BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Automation systems for buildings interconnect components and technologies from the information technology industry and the telecommunications industry.In these industries,existing platforms and new platforms（that are designed to make building automation systems work） compete for market acceptance and consequently several platform battles among suppliers for building automation networking are being waged.It is unclear what the outcome of these battles will be and also which factors are important in achieving platform dominance.Taking the fuzziness of decision makers＇ judgments into account,a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methodology called the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied to investigate the importance of such factors in platform battles for building automation networking.We present the relative importance of the factors for three types of platforms（subsystem platforms,system platforms,and evolved subsystem platforms）.The results provide a first indication that the set of important factors differs per type of platform.For example,when focusing on other stakeholders,for subsystem platforms,the previous installed base is of importance;for system platforms,the diversity of the network of stakeholders is essential;and for evolved subsystem platforms,the judiciary is an important factor.
