Tributary use and large-scale movements of grass carp in Lake Erie

Infrequent captures of invasive, non-native grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) have occurred in Lake Erie over the last 30+ years, with recent evidence suggesting wild reproduction in the lake’s western basin (WB) is occurring. Information on grass carp movements in the Laurentian Great Lakes is lacking, but an improved understanding of large-scale movements and potential areas of aggregation will help inform control strategies and risk assessment if grass carp spread to other parts of Lake Erie and other Great Lakes. Twenty-three grass carp captured in Lake Erie’s WB were implanted with acoustic transmitters and released. Movements were monitored with acoustic receivers deployed throughout Lake Erie and elsewhere in the Great Lakes. Grass carp dispersed up to 236 km, with approximately 25% of fish dispersing greater than 100 km from their release location. Mean daily movements ranged from <0.01 to 2.49 km/day, with the highest daily averages occurring in the spring and summer. The Sandusky, Detroit, and Maumee Rivers, and Plum Creek were the most heavily used WB tributaries. Seventeen percent of grass carp moved into Lake Erie’s central or eastern basins, although all fish eventually returned to the WB. One fish emigrated from Lake Erie through the Huron-Erie Corridor and into Lake Huron. Based on our results, past assessments may have underestimated the potential for grass carp to spread in the Great Lakes. We recommend focusing grass carp control efforts on Sandusky River and Plum Creek given their high use by tagged fish, and secondarily on Maumee and Detroit Rivers.     

Safe and intuitive manual guidance of a robot manipulator using adaptive admittance control towards robot agility

Key areas of robot agility include methods that increase capability and flexibility of industrial robots and facilitate robot re-tasking. Manual guidance can achieve robot agility effectively, provided that a safe and smooth interaction is guaranteed when the user exerts an external force on the end effector. We approach this by designing an adaptive admittance law that can adjust its parameters to modify the robot compliance in critical areas of the workspace, such as near and on configuration singularities, joint limits, and workspace limits, for a smooth and safe operation. Experimental validation was done with two tests: a constraint activation test and a 3D shape tracing task. In the first one, we validate the proper response to constraints and in the second one, we compare the proposed approach with different admittance parameter tuning strategies using a drawing task where the user is asked to guide the robot to trace a 3D profile with an accuracy or speed directive and evaluate performance considering path length error and execution time as metrics, and a questionnaire for user perception. Results show that appropriate response to individual and simultaneous activation of the aforementioned constraints for a safe and intuitive manual guidance interaction is achieved and that the proposed parameter tuning strategy has better performance in terms of accuracy, execution time, and subjective evaluation of users.     

移动位置的信息服务系统研究

随着移动通信技术的发展,无线网的覆盖面越来越广,移动电话发起的紧急呼叫数量在全部紧急呼叫中所占的比例也随之上升。现有的无线网能为移动电话紧急呼叫提供的辅助决策信息非常少。研究的目标是设计一种精确安全的报警系统,使得市民可以便捷并安全地将案情报告给指挥中心,而且指挥中心能够根据案发地点找出最近的警力及时赶往现场,第一时间处理案情。研究表明,系统能够实现报警电话快速定位的功能,并通过地图或文字描述等方式展示位置信息,达到接警、处警对位置信息的要求。

一种面向SOA业务恢复的服务选择算法

针对SOA业务恢复的服务选择问题,本文提出了一种QoS近似全局最优的服务选择算法GALSA:首先利用GA算法将全局QoS约束分解为最优的局部QoS约束,然后利用LSA算法选取出满足局部QoS约束的最优服务。算法不仅能作用于服务重构的服务选择过程中,而且在单个服务节点失效时亦能选取出满足全局QoS约束的服务进行替换。理论分析与实验结果说明了算法的可行性和有效性。
