Response of Hydrodynamics and Water-quality Conditions to Climate Change in a Shallow Lake

Lake water resources operation and water quality management come up with higher challenges due to climate change. The frequency and intensity of extreme hydrological events are increasing under global warming, which may directly lead to more uncertainty and complexity for hydrodynamic and water-quality conditions in large shallow lake. However, studies about effects of climate change on lake hydrodynamic and water-quality conditions are not enough. Thus, a coupled model is es-tablished to investigate the potential responses of lake water level, flow field and pollutant migra-tion to the changing climatic factors. The results imply that water flow capacity and self-purification in the Hongze Lake can be improved by west, northwest, north, south and southeast winds indi-cating wind filed change has a great effect on the hydrodynamic and water-quality conditions in large shallow lake. It is further observed that both hydrodynamics and water quality are more sensitive to rainfall change than to temperature change; compared to the effect from temperature and rainfall, the effect from wind field appear to be more pronounced. Moreover, the results verify the feasibility of coupling basin hydrological model with lake hydrodynamic and water quality model. To the best of knowledge, the coupled model should not be used until independent calibra-tions and verifications for hydrodynamics and water quality modeling, the hydrological model and the coupled model.

     

基于优化子目标数的Option-Critic算法

时间抽象是分层强化学习中的重要研究方向,而子目标是时间抽象形成的核心元素.目前,大部分分层强化学习需要人工给出子目标或设定子目标数量.然而,在很多情况下,这不仅需要大量的人工干预,而且所作设定未必适合对应场景,在动态环境未知的指导下,这一问题尤为突出.针对此,提出基于优化子目标数的Option-Critic算法(Option-Critic algorithm based on Sub-goal Quantity Optimization,OC-SQO),增加了智能体对环境的探索部分,通过与环境的简单交互,得到适用于应用场景的初始子目标数量估值,并在此基础上识别子目标,然后利用通过策略梯度生成对应的抽象,使用初态、内部策略和终止函数构成的三元组表示,以此进行训练,根据交互得到的抽象改变当前状态,不断迭代优化.OC-SQO算法可以在任意状态下开始执行,不要求预先指定子目标和参数,在执行过程中使用策略梯度生成内部策略、抽象间策略和终止函数,不需要提供内部奖赏信号,也无需获取子目标的情况,尽可能地减少了人工干预.实验验证了算法的有效性.     

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Intelligent traffic monitoring and traffic diagnosis analysis based on neural network algorithm

Traffic sign recognition and lane detection play an important role in traffic flow planning, avoiding traffic accidents, and alleviating traffic chaos. At present, the traffic intelligent recognition rate still needs to be improved. In view of this, based on the neural network algorithm, this study constructs an intelligent transportation system based on neural network algorithm, and combines machine vision technology to carry out intelligent monitoring and intelligent diagnosis of traffic system. In addition, this study discusses in detail the core of the monitoring system: multi-target tracking algorithm, and introduces the complete implementation process and details of the system, and highlights the implementation and tracking effect of the multi-target tracker. Finally, this study uses case identification to analyze the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed by this paper. The research results show that the proposed method has certain practical effects and can be used as a reference for subsequent system construction.

     

Low‐voltage and high‐transmittance blue‐phase liquid‐crystal device with slanted electrodes

Abstract— A low‐voltage (～10 V_rms) and high‐transmittance (～90%) polymer‐stabilized blue‐phase liquid‐crystal (BPLC) device with a slanted‐electrodes structure is proposed. Unlike the vertical‐field‐switching (VFS) mode in which oblique incident light and a vertical field are employed, the proposed device utilizes normal incident light and an oblique field. The slanted electrodes generate a strong and uniform oblique electric field, which contributes in obtaining low voltage and high transmittance. Moreover, no couple films or prism sheets are needed, which helps to enhance the optical efficiency and simplify of the device structure. This device has great potential application for emerging BPLC displays and photonic devices.     

ANDES: efficient evaluation of NOT-twig queries in relational databases

Despite a large body of work on XPath query processing in relational environment, systematic study of queries containing not-predicates have received little attention in the literature. Particularly, several xml supports of industrial-strength commercial rdbms fail to efficiently evaluate such queries. In this paper, we present an efficient and novel strategy to evaluate not -twig queries in a tree-unaware relational environment. not -twig queries are XPath queries with ancestor–descendant and parent–child axis and contain one or more not-predicates. We propose a novel Dewey-based encoding scheme called Andes (ANcestor Dewey-based Encoding Scheme), which enables us to efficiently filter out elements satisfying a not-predicate by comparing their ancestor group identifiers. In this approach, a set of elements under the same common ancestor at a specific level in the xml tree is assigned same ancestor group identifier. Based on this scheme, we propose a novel sql translation algorithm for not-twig query evaluation. Experiments carried out confirm that our proposed approach built on top of an off-the-shelf commercial rdbms significantly outperforms state-of-the-art relational and native approaches. We also explore the query plans selected by a commercial relational optimizer to evaluate our translated queries in different input cardinality. Such exploration further validates the performance benefits of Andes.     

Optimal Performance in Tracking Stochastic Signal Under Disturbance Rejection

The analysis method of optimal tracking performance is proposed for multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) linear time‐invariant (LTI) systems under disturbance rejection. An H₂ criterion of the error signal between the output of the plant and the reference signal is used as a measure for the tracking performance. Spectral factorization is applied to obtain the optimal solution of the system tracking error. The explicit expressions are derived for this minimal tracking error with respect to random reference signals under disturbance rejection. It is shown that the nonminimum phase zeros, the zero direction, the unstable poles, the pole direction of a given plant, statistical characteristics of the reference input signal, and disturbance signal have a negative effect on a feedback system's ability to reduce the system error with disturbance rejection. The results show that the optimal tracking performance will further be damaged because of disturbance rejection. Some typical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
