二维矩形Strip Packing问题的算法研究与改进

二维矩形Strip Packing问题的约束条件及目标函数与基本型二维矩形Packing问题类似,都是在有限的矩形容器中,有效地摆放各个矩形块,以最大化容器利用率为目标。为了解决这一NP-hard问题,该文在邓见凯、王磊提出的拟人型全局优化算法的基础上进行了深入的算法研究与改进。针对Strip Packing问题特点,提出了QHG(Quasi-Human Group)算法,其核心改进涵盖了多个方面,包括扩充初始点集合、删除和替换评价标准以及扩大邻域空间搜索范围。和单个局部极小值点的迭代相比,对局部极小值点集合进行迭代所生成布局优度更高,跳坑策略用于跳出局部极小值点,将搜索引向有希望的区域,优美度枚举有望进一步提高布局优度。通过这些措施,QHG算法更好地模拟人类决策过程,提高了全局搜索的效率。为评估QHG算法性能,对8组标准问题实例(C组、N组、NT组、CX组、NP组、ZDF组、2sp组、bwmv组)进行了大量实验。实验结果表明,QHG算法生成的布局优度优于当前国际文献中的几种较先进算法,展现了其在Strip Packing问题上的卓越性能。

A dual-RPA based lateral flow strip for sensitive,on-site detection of CP4-EPSPS and Cry1Ab/Ac genes in genetically modified crops

Traditional transgenic detection methods require high test conditions and struggle to be both sensitive and efficient.In this study,a one-tube dual recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)reaction system for CP4-EPSPS and Cry1Ab/Ac was proposed and combined with a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay,named“Dual-RPA-LFD”,to visualize the dual detection of genetically modified(GM)crops.In which,the herbicide tolerance gene CP4-EPSPS and the insect resistance gene Cry1Ab/Ac were selected as targets taking into account the current status of the most widespread application of insect resistance and herbicide tolerance traits and their stacked traits.Gradient diluted plasmids,transgenic standards,and actual samples were used as templates to conduct sensitivity,specificity,and practicality assays,respectively.The constructed method achieved the visual detection of plasmid at levels as low as 100 copies,demonstrating its high sensitivity.In addition,good applicability to transgenic samples was observed,with no cross-interference between two test lines and no influence from other genes.In conclusion,this strategy achieved the expected purpose of simultaneous detection of the two popular targets in GM crops within 20 min at 37°C in a rapid,equipmentfree field manner,providing a new alternative for rapid screening for transgenic assays in the field.

Effect of phosphorus content on interfacial heat transfer and film deposition behavior during the high-temperature simulation of strip casting

The interfacial wettability and heat transfer behavior are crucial in the strip casting of high phosphorus-containing steel.A hightemperature simulation of strip casting was conducted using the droplet solidification technique with the aims to reveal the effects of phosphorus content on interfacial wettability,deposited film,and interfacial heat transfer behavior.Results showed that when the phosphorus content increased from 0.014wt%to 0.406wt%,the mushy zone enlarged,the complete solidification temperature delayed from1518.3 to 1459.4℃,the final contact angle decreased from 118.4°to 102.8°,indicating improved interfacial contact,and the maximum heat flux increased from 6.9 to 9.2 MW/m2.Increasing the phosphorus content from 0.081wt%to 0.406wt%also accelerated the film deposition rate from 1.57 to 1.73μm per test,resulting in a thickened naturally deposited film with increased thermal resistance that advanced the transition point of heat transfer from the fifth experiment to the third experiment.

High-resolution imaging of magnetic fields of banknote anti-counterfeiting strip using fiber diamond probe

Counterfeiting of modern banknotes poses a significant challenge,prompting the use of various preventive measures.One such measure is the magnetic anti-counterfeiting strip.However,due to its inherent weak magnetic properties,visualizing its magnetic distribution has been a longstanding challenge.In this work,we introduce an innovative method by using a fiber optic diamond probe,a highly sensitive quantum sensor designed specifically for detecting extremely weak magnetic fields.We employ this probe to achieve high-resolution imaging of the magnetic fields associated with the RMB 50denomination anti-counterfeiting strip.Additionally,we conduct computer simulations by using COMSOL Multiphysics software to deduce the potential geometric characteristics and material composition of the magnetic region within the anti-counterfeiting strip.The findings and method presented in this study hold broader significance,extending the RMB 50 denomination to various denominations of the Chinese currency and other items that employ magnetic anti-counterfeiting strips.These advances have the potential to significantly improve and promote security measures in order to prevent the banknotes from being counterfeited.

Analysis of spot defects on the surface of a cold-rolled Fe-36%Ni alloy strip

Many spot defects were found on the surface of a cold-rolled Fe-36%Ni alloy strip produced in a factory,which seriously affected the surface quality of the product.Through metallographic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses,it was found that the spot defects were caused by the residual oxide layer on the surface of the cold-rolled Fe-36%Ni alloy strip after hydrogen annealing.By properly increasing the grinding amount of the blank before cold rolling to remove the oxide layer,the spot defects on the surface of the cold-rolled strip were effectively eliminated,and the surface quality of the product was ensured.

Similarity evaluation model for the internal defect detection of strip steel

An internal defect meter is an instrument to detect the internal inclusion defects of cold-rolled strip steel.The detection accuracy of the equipment can be evaluated based on the similarity of the multiple detection data obtained for the same steel coil.Based on the cosine similarity model and eigenvalue matrix model,a comprehensive evaluation method to calculate the weighted average of similarity is proposed.Results show that the new method is consistent with and can even replace artificial evaluation to realize the automatic evaluation of strip defect detection results.

Solidification microstructure of Ti-43Al alloy by twin-roll strip casting

As a near-net-shape technology,the twin-roll strip casting(TRC)process can be considered to apply to the fabrication of TiAl alloy sheets.However,the control of the grain distribution is very important in strip casting because the mechanical properties of strips are directly determined by the solidification microstructure.A three-dimensional(3D)cellular automation finite-element(CAFE)model based on ProCAST software was established to simulate the solidification microstructure of Ti-43Al alloy.Then,the influence of casting temperature and the maximum nucleation density(nmax)on the solidification microstructure was investigated in detail.The simulation results provide a good explanation and prediction for the solidification microstructure in the molten pool before leaving the kissing point.Experimental and simulated microstructure show the common texture<001>orientation in the columnar grains zone.Finally,the microstructure evolution of the Ti-43Al alloy was analyzed and the solidification phase transformation path during the TSC process was determined,i.e.,L→L+β→β→β+α→α+γ+β/B2 phase under a faster cooling rate and L→L+β→β→β+α→γ+lamellar(α_(2)+γ)+β/B2 phase under a slower cooling rate.

Checklist of the Birds of the Gaza Strip—Palestine

Bird fauna checklists are important tools in ecology, biology, and conservation planning for scientists, stakeholders, and decision-makers. Despite its small area, the Gaza Strip (365 km2) has a relatively large variety of resident and migratory bird fauna. Therefore, the current study aimed to provide an updated checklist of all bird fauna living in or inhabiting the Gaza Strip. Direct field observations using binoculars, continuous visits to zoos, pet stores and biology museums, discussion with bird hunters, follow-up of news and social networking sites, review of scientific publications and photography were the main tools to satisfy the purpose of the study. At least 250 bird species collected from different sources occur in the Gaza Strip and are included in the checklist. This list will not be static, but is inevitably subject to additions and changes in the face of times. The current 250 bird species of the Gaza Strip represent 45.4% of the 551 species of birds living in Palestine. The bird species were found to belong to 21 orders and 61 families. The Passeriformes (passerines) represented the largest order with 96 species of birds (38.4%), followed by the Charadriiformes 54 (21.6%), the Accipitriformes 18 (7.2%), Anseriformes 17 (6.8%) and Pelecaniformes 14 (5.6%), while the other orders represented the remaining percentage (20.4%). With regard to families, the Scolopacidae represented the largest family with 22 species of birds (8.8%), followed by the Anatidae and Accipitridae 17 for each (6.8%), the Muscicapidae 16 (6.4%) and Chariidridae and Fringillidae 11 for each (4.4%), while the other families represented the remaining percentage (62.4%). According to the IUCN regional threat categories, 226 species (90.4%) were Least Concern (LC), 12 (4.8%) were Near Threatened (NT), 6 (2.4%) were Vulnerable (VU), 4 (1.6%) were Endangered (EN) and 2 (0.8%) were Critically Endangered (CR). In conclusion, the study recommends a sustainable control of bird hunting and trafficking in addition to building prestigious centers and museums for studying and documenting birds in the Gaza Strip.

An Inventory of Some Relatively Large Marine Mammals, Reptiles, and Fishes Sighted, Caught, By-Caught, or Stranded in the Mediterranean Coast of the Gaza Strip-Palestine

The Mediterranean Sea is home to an interesting biodiversity. The current cumulative and descriptive study aims to enumerate some relatively large marine mammals, reptiles, and fishes that have been spotted, caught, by-caught, or stranded on the coast of the Gaza Strip, Palestine, which extends about 42 km along the Mediterranean Sea. This 20-year study from 2003 to 2022 relied much on frequent field visits, meetings, and discussions with stakeholders, following local media sites and social media pages, and photography. The study recorded at least 26 giants or relatively large marine organisms on the Mediterranean coast of the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Certainly, the coming years may bring other marine organisms of relatively large sizes. Marine mammals included three species of cetaceans with the Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) being the largest mammal and even the largest animal ever recorded in this study. Marine reptiles included three species of sea turtles, the largest of which is the Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), which is in fact the world’s largest sea turtle. The bony fishes were represented by ten species, the largest of which was the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), which is the largest bony fish in the world. The cartilaginous fishes included ten species with the largest specimens encountered were the Shortfin Shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), Bluntnose Sixgill Shark (Hexanchus griseus), Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna lewini), and Giant Devil Ray (Mobula mobular). Seabirds were not included in the study. The Alexandria Pompano (Alectis alexandrinus) and the Silver-Cheeked Toadfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus), which are bony fishes, appear to be the relatively smallest marine organisms recorded here. In conclusion, the role of the various parties must be coordinated to ensure the sustainability of human activities and their compatibility with the task of conserving local marine biota, including the gigantic or relatively large ones.

Simultaneous tectonic Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty and tectonic Bowman layer transplant for the management of corneal perforation

AIM:To report the outcomes of three cases of corneal perforation managed with simultaneous tectonic Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty(t-DSEK)and tectonic Bowman layer transplant(t-BLT)as an alternative to tectonic penetrating keratoplasty(t-PKP).METHODS:Three eyes of three patients receiving simultaneous t-DSEK and t-BLT for corneal perforation were included.The technique for DSEK was modified depending on individual requirements.The t-BLT technique was standardised using an 8 mm graft and fixated with a running suture.Success was measured by the ability of this procedure to close a corneal perforation.RESULTS:All three cases achieved tectonic eye globe restoration and remained stable during the minimum 3-month observation period.Reinterventions were relatively common:2 cases required amniotic membrane transplant for persistent epithelial defects.One case required DSEK rebubbling.One case developed angle closure glaucoma requiring surgical peripheral iridectomy.CONCLUSION:Simultaneous t-DSEK and t-BLT may be a useful strategy for the management of corneal perforation as an alternative management to t-PKP for selected cases.

Deep learning for predictive mechanical properties of hot-rolled strip in complex manufacturing systems

Higher requirements for the accuracy of relevant models are put throughout the transformation and upgrade of the iron and steel sector to intelligent production.It has been difficult to meet the needs of the field with the usual prediction model of mechanical properties of hotrolled strip.Insufficient data and difficult parameter adjustment limit deep learning models based on multi-layer networks in practical applications;besides,the limited discrete process parameters used make it impossible to effectively depict the actual strip processing process.In order to solve these problems,this research proposed a new sampling approach for mechanical characteristics input data of hot-rolled strip based on the multi-grained cascade forest(gcForest)framework.According to the characteristics of complex process flow and abnormal sensitivity of process path and parameters to product quality in the hot-rolled strip production,a three-dimensional continuous time series process data sampling method based on time-temperature-deformation was designed.The basic information of strip steel(chemical composition and typical process parameters)is fused with the local process information collected by multi-grained scanning,so that the next link’s input has both local and global features.Furthermore,in the multi-grained scanning structure,a sub sampling scheme with a variable window was designed,so that input data with different dimensions can get output characteristics of the same dimension after passing through the multi-grained scanning structure,allowing the cascade forest structure to be trained normally.Finally,actual production data of three steel grades was used to conduct the experimental evaluation.The results revealed that the gcForest-based mechanical property prediction model outperforms the competition in terms of comprehensive performance,ease of parameter adjustment,and ability to sustain high prediction accuracy with fewer samples.

Finite Element Analysis of the Influence of Artificial Cementation on the Strength Parameters and Bearing Capacity of Sandy Soil under a Strip Footing

Artificial cementation is a method commonly used to enhance and improve soil properties. This paper investigates the effect of using different amounts of cement on soil strength parameters and soil bearing capacity, using the finite element method. Experimental tests are conducted on soil samples with different amounts of Portland cement. A 2-D numerical model is created and validated using the numerical modelling software, COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software. The study finds that the cohesion, and the angle of the internal friction of the soil samples increase significantly as a result of adding 1%, 2%, and 4% of Portland cement. The results demonstrate that the stresses and strain under the strip footing proposed decrease by 3.24% and 7.42%. Moreover, the maximum displacement also decreases by 1.47% and 2.97%, as a result of adding cements of 2% and 4%. The bearing capacity values obtained are therefore excellent, especially when using the 2% and 4% cement. The increase identified is due to the increased values of the bearing capacity factors. It is concluded that from an economic viewpoint, using 2% cement is the best option.

Polysurfacic Tori or Kideas Inspired by the Möbius Strip Topology

Polysurfacic tori or kideas are three-dimensional objects formed by rotating a regular polygon around a central axis. These toric shapes are referred to as “polysurfacic” because their characteristics, such as the number of sides or surfaces separated by edges, can vary in a non-trivial manner depending on the degree of twisting during the revolution. We use the term “Kideas” to specifically denote these polysurfacic tori, and we represent the number of sides (referred to as “facets”) of the original polygon followed by a point, while the number of facets from which the torus is twisted during its revolution is indicated. We then explore the use of concave regular polygons to generate Kideas. We finally give acceleration for the algorithm for calculating the set of prime numbers.

粉煤灰浆液氨吹脱及其膏体制备特性

为改善含氨粉煤灰对充填膏体性能带来的不利影响,提高粉煤灰的利用率,实验采用空气吹脱粉煤灰浆液的方式进行脱氨,探究吹脱时间、气浆比、固液比、温度和加碱量等影响因素对粉煤灰脱氨率的影响.结果表明,通过响应面优化吹脱条件,控制吹脱时间1h、气浆比900、固液比0.219、温度26.785℃和加碱量1.802%,预测总脱氨率最高达97.178%,与实际误差率在2%以内.经优化吹脱后所制备的粉煤灰充填膏体,仅在养护前期有少量的氨气释放,其泵送性能和微观结构相较于原含氨粉煤灰膏体都得到改善,且在养护28d后,抗压强度提升高达57%.

小麦秸秆添加量对羊粪条垛式堆肥进程的影响

用肉羊养殖场的羊粪和小麦秸秆作为堆肥原料进行条垛式堆肥试验,监测堆肥过程中堆料有机质、C/N、pH值、种子发芽指数(GI)、温度等指标的变化,探究羊粪条垛式堆肥的最佳秸秆添加量。结果表明:鲜羊粪堆肥时添加1.5%~4.5%的小麦秸秆,可增加高温保持时间7~9天,达到26~28天,最高温度提高4℃,达到63℃;可加快堆料水分的蒸发速度,降低堆料含水率8.08%~31.06%;可降低堆肥产品的pH值,从9.12下降到8.88;可提高种子发芽指数21.85%~33.93%,提高堆肥产品的C/N 10%~30%。由此可知,添加1.5%~4.5%的小麦秸秆,可加快羊粪的腐熟速度,但当秸秆添加量大于1.5%时,堆肥产品的C/N大于20,不利用微生物的分解利用,因此,在羊粪堆肥时,小麦秸秆的最佳添加量为1.5%。研究结果将为优化羊粪堆肥技术工艺,提高羊粪堆肥腐熟速度提供技术支持。
