An improved cuckoo search algorithm for the problem of electric distribution network reconfiguration

Power loss reduction has an important role in operating electric distribution network system. There are a lot of methods for reduction power loss such as capacitor placement, distributed generation placement and electric distribution network reconfiguration (EDNR). Among these methods, the EDNR is an efficient technique to reduce power loss due to without taking any costs. However, the EDNR problem is a nonlinear, discrete problem and lots of extreme points. Therefore, it is necessary to have efficient methods for solving the EDNR problem. In this paper, an improved cuckoo search algorithm (ICSA) is proposed for solving the EDNR problem. In which, based on disadvantages of exploration and exploitation process of cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for solving the EDNR problem, a local search mechanism is added to exploit candidate solutions existing around the current best solution. The calculated results on the simple distribution networks to complex distribution networks show that ICSA has ability for finding the global optimal solution with much smaller iterations and better quality of obtained solution compared with CSA and some other improved versions of CSA. The performance comparisons with other existing methods available in previous studies and the software of Power System Simulator/Advanced Distribution Engineering Productivity Tool (PSS/ADEPT) also lead to the better electric distribution network configuration with smaller total power losses. As a result, ICSA is a potential and reliable method for solving the EDNR problems.

Formation of radioactive cesium microparticles originating from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident: characteristics and perspectives

ABSTRACT

Following identification of radioactive Cs microparticles (CsMPs) in aerosol samples from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), numerous reports on CsMPs have been published. This paper reviews recent progress in the measurement and characterization of CsMPs by advanced analytical techniques, including advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and synchrotron X-ray analysis. These analyses revealed that the CsMPs contained Si, Fe, Zn, Cs, and minor quantities of U together with some fission products. Uranium in the CsMPs was identified as being in the form of uraninite and (U,Zr)O₂. Detailed advanced TEM analysis has clarified some of the processes resulting in the alteration of constituents of the nuclear fuels and containment vessel materials during this severe accident. In addition, a detailed report on the elemental compositions and structures of the fuel debris fragments collected inside and outside of the primary containment vessel²⁵ highlighted the fact that the fuel debris fragments contained nanoparticles with the U and Zr components having similar structures to that of the CsMPs. This similarity in structures has stimulated further research on the structure and elemental constituents, especially for U and Zr in the CsMPs, and has opened up new avenues for studying the chemical characteristics of the fuel debris.     

碳酸盐岩岩溶储层多井评价方法及地质应用

多井评价是建立在单井精细解释对比分析基础上的预测储层及含油气性平面分布规律的技术方法,而常规测井资料无法区分碳酸盐岩岩溶储层,因而利用多井评价结果确定岩溶发育程度在平面上的分布规律就显得十分重要。为此,在岩心标定成像测井的基础上,对四川盆地高石梯—磨溪地区15口井的成像测井岩溶发育特征进行分析,建立了中二叠统茅口组岩溶发育各分带的标准成像图版,利用交会图及直方图分析各分带的常规测井响应特征,在此基础上形成了电成像测井刻度常规测井识别岩溶发育带的新方法。研究结果表明:①高石梯—磨溪地区茅口组岩溶带自上而下可划分为风化壳残积带、垂直渗流岩溶带、水平潜流岩溶带以及受岩溶作用较弱的基岩;②风化壳残积带在成像测井图像显示为"暗—亮—暗"条带状模式,垂直渗流岩溶带为垂直线状与暗色斑状组合模式,水平潜流岩溶带为水平线状—层状与斑状组合模式,基岩整体显示为亮色块状模式偶见线状或斑状特征;③有效储层主要发育在垂直渗流带和水平潜流带的顶部;④该区茅口组岩溶发育主要受裂缝发育控制,而裂缝发育又与断层关系密切。结论认为,该新方法对碳酸盐岩岩溶储层的多井评价具有普遍适用性,为四川盆地中二叠统风险探井的部署提供了技术支撑。     

Synthesis and Application of Methyl N,O-Hydroxylamine Muramyl Peptides

The innate immune system's interaction with bacterial cells plays a pivotal role in a variety of human diseases. Carbohydrate units derived from a component of bacterial cell wall, peptidoglycan (PG), are known to stimulate an immune response. Nonetheless, access to modified late-stage peptidoglycan intermediates is limited due to their synthetic complexity. A method to rapidly functionalize PG fragments is needed to better understand the natural host–PG interactions. Here methyl N,O-hydroxylamine linkers are incorporated onto a synthetic PG derivative, muramyl dipeptide (MDP). The modification of MDP maintained the ability to stimulate a nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) immune response dependent on the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (Nod2). Intrigued by this modification's maintenance of biological activity, several applications were explored. Methyl N,O-hydroxylamine MDP was amendable to N-hydroxylsuccinimide (NHS) chemistry for bioconjugation to fluorophores as well as a self-assembled monolayer for Nod2 surface plasmon resonance analysis. Finally, linker incorporation was applicable to larger PG fragments, both enzymatically generated from Escherichia coli or chemically synthesized. This methodology provides rapid access to PG probes in one step and allows for the installation of a variety of chemical handles to advance the molecular understanding of PG and the innate immune system.     

时态神经网络模型及其在股票分类预测上应用

对具有时间属性的数据进行数据挖掘称为时态数据挖掘，用以发现数据在时间上的知识，当数据变化不规律时，如股票交易数据,就很难发现有价值的规律与规则。而神经网络具有并行、容错、可以硬件实现以及自我学习的优点,可作为股票分类预测应用的一种方法。通过将股票数据与时态型相结合，将股票数据转换成时态型股票数据，提出时态神经网络模型的分类方法，对收集的若干上市公司十年内的股票数据进行分析，构建了时态股票数据神经网络分类器对股票进行分类预测。经过实验验证，相比改进前的神经网络和支持向量机方法，该分类器具有更高的分类准确率。结果证明，这种时态数据神经网络模型对于多只股票的分类预测是非常有效的，可以很好地运用到股票市场的分类预测中。     

基于平面不封闭图形切割的路径规划

在平面切割环节中，如何确定更短切割路径以减少加工成本、降低设备损耗和提升切割质量是工业应用和学术研究的重点。目前国内外对平面切割路径的研究主要集中于封闭图形，为此，针对在激光刀模行业中不封闭图形的问题，提出一种基于禁忌搜索的贪婪算法和贪婪准则的局部优化。首先使用构建型的贪婪算法和改进型的禁忌搜索算法相结合的方式对加工过程中的图元路径进行优化排序，随后提出贪婪准则的局部优化系数，削弱贪婪算法的“贪心”思想，解决加工路径的规划和优化问题。实验数据表明，禁忌搜索的贪婪算法和局部优化在对切割路径的规划和空行程优化上有显著效果，空行程减少50%以上，并且其优化性能和图元数量成正比，能有效地解决刀模行业以及其他激光雕刻行业中图形不封闭的切割难题。     

海洋非成岩天然气水合物原位快速制备实验及评价

我国的海洋天然气水合物（以下简称水合物）资源主要分布在沿海大陆架水深介于300～3 000 m的深水区，具有弱胶结、非成岩的特征，为了测试和研究该类型水合物必须原位、大量、快速制备样品，而目前常用的搅拌法、喷淋法、鼓泡法等制备技术却存在着生成速度慢、储气密度低等问题。为此，自主设计、研制了1 062 L非成岩水合物快速制备釜，针对我国南海非成岩水合物的物性特征，开展了搅拌法、鼓泡法、喷淋法单一制备方法及“三合一”法（上述3种方法相结合）水合物制备实验，测试了实验过程中温度、压力、电阻率及反应时间等数据，分析比较了几种不同制备方法的水合物生成情况与制备效率。实验结果表明：①搅拌法、鼓泡法、喷淋法制备水合物过程中，生成的水合物均缓慢增加并逐渐铺满整个液面；②搅拌法制备过程中可以观测到明显的诱导期，而喷淋法、鼓泡法及“三合一”法却无明显的诱导期；③单一制备方法及“三合一”法制备水合物过程中，电阻率均随反应时间的增加而增加，其变化趋势亦与水合物制备速率基本一致；④“三合一”法的制备周期明显短于单一制备方法（搅拌法、喷淋法、鼓泡法单一方法的制备时间分别约为“三合一”法的5.14倍、3.59倍、3.16倍）。结论认为，所研制的1 062 L水合物快速制备釜能够实现海洋非成岩水合物样品的原位、快速制备；较之于单一制备方法，“三合一”法大大提高了水合物的制备效率。
