Data-driven placemaking: Public space canopy design through multi-objective optimisation considering shading,structural and social performance

In the context of ongoing densification of cities and aging urban populations, public spaces are a crucial infrastructure to support the physical and mental wellbeing of urban residents. The design of public space furniture elements is often standardised, and not considered in relation to environmental conditions and mechanisms of social interaction. This article presents a digital workflow to generate site-specific designs for shaded public seating, considering the relationships of local public places to their surroundings. A strategy for customised and site-specific design is developed through the use of multiple software tools, employing evolutionary algorithms and multi-objective optimisation. The method is applied to a small public space canopy prototype installed within a public housing estate in Hong Kong, incorporating additional criteria to achieve a low-cost and light-weight structure. Through multiple stages of refinement and optimisation, a material, structural and social performance-driven outcome was achieved that creates a shaded space for public seating, people watching and social interaction. As part of a larger research agenda exploring architectural form-finding and environmental psychology, the project represents potential new applications in the emerging field of socially driven computational design.

State of charge estimation for lithium-ion battery based on an intelligent adaptive unscented Kalman filter

Adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) has been widely used for state of charge (SOC) estimation of lithium-ion battery. The noise covariance of the conventional AUKF method is updated based on the innovation covariance matrix (ICM), which is estimated using the error innovation sequence (EIS). However, the distribution of EIS changes due to the time-varying noise, load current dynamics and modelling error, which will lead to inaccurate ICM estimation. Therefore, an intelligent adaptive unscented Kalman filter (IAUKF) method is proposed to detect the distribution change of EIS. Then, the ICM is estimated based on the EIS after the distribution change. Results show that the IAUKF method can improve SOC estimation accuracy significantly. Compared with that of the AUKF method, the root mean squared error and the mean absolute error of SOC based on the IAUKF method decrease by 43.70% and 72.37% under random walk discharge condition, respectively. In addition, the computation time of the IAUKF method slightly increases by 6.27% compared with that of AUKF method. Finally, the effect of initial parameters on the SOC estimation accuracy was analysed. The results indicate that proper algorithm tuning, such as initial window length of EIS for ICM update and the threshold value, can further improve the SOC accuracy based on the proposed IAUKF method. The proposed IAUKF method also shows high robustness against initial measurement noise covariance.

Synthesis of “walnut-like” BiOCl/Br solid solution photocatalyst by electrostatic self-assembly method

In this paper, under the control strategy of surface charge of BiOCl photocatalyst and the electrostatic adsorption of anions and cations in potassium bromide (KBr) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), the self-assembly of “walnut-like” BiOCl/Br solid solution nanophotocatalyst at a lower temperature water bath was proposed for the first time. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy-dispersive system (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), UV-Vis, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and Mott-Schottky curve, transient photocurrent densities, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to analyze the properties of materials, including its morphology, element distribution and chemical states, specific surface area, electrochemical property, and photogenic charge transfer. Based on the degradation performance of RhB dye wastewater and phenol in visible and ultraviolet light, and the band structure of BiOCl/Br solid solution, the reason for the improved photocatalytic activity was deeply discussed, and the possible degradation mechanism was also put forward. The above results show that Br⁻ can be inserted into the crystal lattice of BiOCl under the effect of electrostatic adsorption to form solid solution by the interaction between atomic orbitals, which not only reduces the bandgap width but also improves the separation and mobility of photogenic electrons and holes, causing the absorbed light to shift red to the visible region. In addition, when the n_Br⁻/n_Cl⁻ = 0.67, “walnut-like” BiOCl/Br solid solution was formed, and this kind of special core-shell structure not only can increase the specific surface area, increase the number of active sites, but also can make the light reflect and refract many times in the cavity and further increase the utilization rate of light energy, and then the best photocatalytic activity was achieved. This study provides an new method to enhance the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl and be conducive to the development of modern material science.
