Abstract This study investigates the heat dissipation mechanism of the insulation layer and other plane insulation layers in the polar drilling rig system. Combining the basic theory of heat transfer with the environmental requirements of polar drilling operations and the characteristics of polar drilling processes, we analyze the factors that affect the insulation effect of the drilling rig system. These factors include the thermal conductivity of the insulation material, the thickness of the insulation layer, ambient temperature, and wind speed. We optimize the thermal insulation material of the polar drilling rig system using a steady-state method to measure solid thermal conductivity.… More >

Abstract With the development of renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaics and wind power, it has become a research hotspot to improve the consumption rate of new energy and reduce energy costs through the deployment of energy storage. To solve the problem of the interests of different subjects in the operation of the energy storage power stations (ESS) and the integrated energy multi-microgrid alliance (IEMA), this paper proposes the optimization operation method of the energy storage power station and the IEMA based on the Stackelberg game. In the upper layer, ESS optimizes charging and discharging decisions through a dynamic pricing mechanism.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The fractured-vuggy carbonate oil resources in the western basin of China are extremely rich. The connectivity of carbonate reservoirs is complex, and there is still a lack of clear understanding of the development and topological structure of the pore space in fractured-vuggy reservoirs. Thus, effective prediction of fractured-vuggy reservoirs is difficult. In view of this, this work employs adaptive point cloud technology to reproduce the shape and capture the characteristics of a fractured-vuggy reservoir. To identify the complex connectivity among pores, fractures, and vugs, a simplified one-dimensional connectivity model is established by using the meshless connection element method (CEM). Considering… More >

Abstract Gas turbines play core roles in clean energy supply and the construction of comprehensive energy systems. The control performance of primary frequency modulation of gas turbines has a great impact on the frequency control of the power grid. However, there are some control difficulties in the primary frequency modulation control of gas turbines, such as the coupling effect of the fuel control loop and speed control loop, slow tracking speed, and so on. To relieve the abovementioned difficulties, a control strategy based on the desired dynamic equation proportional integral (DDE-PI) is proposed in this paper. Based on the parameter stability… More >

Abstract Demand Responsive Transit (DRT) responds to the dynamic users’ requests without any fixed routes and timetables and determines the stop and the start according to the demands. This study explores the optimization of dynamic vehicle scheduling and real-time route planning in urban public transportation systems, with a focus on bus services. It addresses the limitations of current shared mobility routing algorithms, which are primarily designed for simpler, single origin/destination scenarios, and do not meet the complex demands of bus transit systems. The research introduces an route planning algorithm designed to dynamically accommodate passenger travel needs and enable real-time route modifications.… More >

Abstract Crowdsourcing technology is widely recognized for its effectiveness in task scheduling and resource allocation. While traditional methods for task allocation can help reduce costs and improve efficiency, they may encounter challenges when dealing with abnormal data flow nodes, leading to decreased allocation accuracy and efficiency. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel two-part invalid detection task allocation framework. In the first step, an anomaly detection model is developed using a dynamic self-attentive GAN to identify anomalous data. Compared to the baseline method, the model achieves an approximately 4% increase in the F1 value on the public dataset. In… More >

Abstract As industrialization and informatization become more deeply intertwined, industrial control networks have entered an era of intelligence. The connection between industrial control networks and the external internet is becoming increasingly close, which leads to frequent security accidents. This paper proposes a model for the industrial control network. It includes a malware containment strategy that integrates intrusion detection, quarantine, and monitoring. Based on this model, the role of key nodes in the spread of malware is studied, a comparison experiment is conducted to validate the impact of the containment strategy. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the model is analyzed, the… More >

Abstract Person identification is one of the most vital tasks for network security. People are more concerned about their security due to traditional passwords becoming weaker or leaking in various attacks. In recent decades, fingerprints and faces have been widely used for person identification, which has the risk of information leakage as a result of reproducing fingers or faces by taking a snapshot. Recently, people have focused on creating an identifiable pattern, which will not be reproducible falsely by capturing psychological and behavioral information of a person using vision and sensor-based techniques. In existing studies, most of the researchers used very… More >

Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment. This study investigated the antitumor effects and mechanisms of a novel photosensitizer meso-5-[ρ-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid-aminophenyl]−10,15,20-triphenyl-porphyrin (DTP) mediated PDT (DTP-PDT). Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis were measured with a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, and Hoechst staining, respectively. Cell apoptosis- and autophagy-related proteins were examined using western blotting. RNA sequencing was used to screen differentially expressed mRNAs (DERs), and bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the major biological events after DTP-PDT. Our results show that DTP-PDT inhibited cell growth and induced ROS generation in MCF-7 and SGC7901… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The gravitational wave spacecraft is a complex multi-input multi-output dynamic system. The gravitational wave detection mission requires the spacecraft to achieve single spacecraft with two laser links and high-precision control. Establishing one spacecraft with two laser links, compared to one spacecraft with a single laser link, requires an upgraded decoupling algorithm for the link establishment. The decoupling algorithm we designed reassigns the degrees of freedom and forces in the control loop to ensure sufficient degrees of freedom for optical axis control. In addressing the distinct dynamic characteristics of different degrees of freedom, a transfer function compensation method is used in… More >
