Due to the development of industrial economy, it has caused serious damage to the ecological environment. Based on the industrial structure and production scale, rural industrial economic parks are planned to analyze the quantity and weight of pollutants emitted from the original industries. The results showed that the quantity and weight of hydrogen sulfide in the coking industry were 10kg/t and 94, respectively. The weight of smoke and carbon monoxide in the steelmaking industry was relatively high, with 54 and 34, respectively. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and multi-objective programming model are used to optimize the comprehensive benefits and industrial structure of rural industrial ecological economy. According to the experimental results, when the scale of the coking industry was 135600 tons, the steelmaking industry was 314900 tons, the ironmaking industry was 148100 tons, and the underground coal gasification industry was 424.76 million Nm3. The comprehensive economic benefits of the industry reached the optimal level of 0.6415. The environmental and comprehensive benefits generated by the increased power generation industry were 64.98 and 40.87, respectively. Therefore, it indicates that the dual objective programming model combining non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm can improve the rural industrial ecological economy.

The recent advent of highly accurate and scalable large language models (LLMs) has taken the world by storm. From art to essays to computer code, LLMs are producing novel content that until recently was thought only humans could produce. Recent work in computing education has sought to understand the capabilities of LLMs for solving tasks such as writing code, explaining code, creating novel coding assignments, interpreting programming error messages, and more. However, these technologies continue to evolve at an astonishing rate leaving educators little time to adapt. This working group seeks to document the state-of-the-art for code generation LLMs, detail current opportunities and challenges related to their use, and present actionable approaches to integrating them into computing curricula.

Source-code plagiarism has been a persistent problem in the academic computing environment, but its prevalence intensified due to the disruption caused by the emergency remote teaching and learning that the COVID-19 pandemic enforced. This is especially a concern in the context of teaching novice programmers to code. The pandemic compelled residential universities to accommodate students in ways previously unheard of, even in the context of non-residential establishments. Students found themselves in an environment where preparation for assessments was not necessary since they had access to material, peers and whatever help they could line up to pass. The pandemic is a distant memory, but academia will not return to its pre-Covid status, and to add to this situation, generative artificial intelligence emerged in 2023 as a playmate on this very playground. In this context, tutoring is of utmost importance when teaching novice programmers to code, and therefore it makes sense to learn from past approaches to guide this support function in future. With this premise in mind, an interpretivist perspective was adopted, and qualitative data were gathered, centering on focus group interviews, as well as interviews with tutors unavailable for focus group sessions. These tutors supported classes of introductory programming students over a period of three years. Within this setting, the lecturer-as-researcher reflects on mitigating source code plagiarism holistically. This paper has as its goal proposing a model to enable and support tutors in their role to attenuate source code plagiarism.

programming skills are becoming increasingly important in our digital age. Here, block-based programming languages offer a great way for novices to learn programming, as their drag-and-drop mechanic makes the assembly of code very intuitive. In this study we wanted to answer the question whether fluid intelligence helps with learning to program and what influence it has on the amount of effort needed to succeed in block-programming tasks. We used eye tracking to look into physiological measures of mental effort, focusing on pupil diameter, fixation characteristics, and blinks. Our results suggest that the mental effort needed to successfully complete block-programming tasks is not linked to fluid intelligence and all learners have to invest similar amounts of effort in order to succeed. Additionally, we found that high fluid intelligence speeds up the completion of basic block-programming tasks, but does not influence the time it takes to solve more complex block-programming tasks.

We consider the bilevel knapsack problem with interdiction constraints, a fundamental bilevel integer programming problem which generalizes the 0-1 knapsack problem. In this problem, there are two knapsacks and n items. The objective is to select some items to pack into the first knapsack such that the maximum profit attainable from packing some of the remaining items into the second knapsack is minimized. We present a combinatorial branch-and-bound algorithm which outperforms the current state-of-the-art solution method in computational experiments by 4.5 times on average for all instances reported in the literature. On many of the harder instances, our algorithm is hundreds of times faster, and we solved 53 of the 72 previously unsolved instances. Our result relies fundamentally on a new dynamic programming algorithm which computes very strong lower bounds. This dynamic program solves a relaxation of the problem from bilevel to 2n-level where the items are processed in an online fashion. The relaxation is easier to solve but approximates the original problem surprisingly well in practice. We believe that this same technique may be useful for other interdiction problems.

AI research and development in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) can be seen as paradigmatic for the phase of late socialism. The imperatives of the socialist project and its economic ramifications in the endgame of the Cold War left a distinct imprint on AI. The GDR adopted a pragmatic approach to AI, which this article examines. It highlights the various strands and applications of late socialist AI research, encompassing both everyday applications and advanced scientific endeavors. Moving beyond the prevailing focus on U.S. research within the military-industrial complex, this article situates AI research within the broader history of the GDR, Central, and Eastern Europe. This study employs methods from science and technology studies to analyze AI objects, particularly chess computers, as indicators of the proliferation of AI within the everyday practices of the GDR. Through a thorough examination of a widely circulated computer magazine, this overview illustrates the diverse range of AI applications in the GDR, spanning areas such as planning, industrial management, state administration, science, public health, and pervasive surveillance. In this context, high-tech solutions were deployed alongside decaying industrial infrastructure, while utopian visions of intelligent machines intersected with ideological exhaustion, and health care applications were juxtaposed with fleeing doctors. These ambivalences reflect the complex state of the GDR in late socialism. Nevertheless, researchers and engineers worked on prototypes for image recognition, language processing, automatic reasoning and basic AI technologies, including programming languages and specialized hardware.

High-resolution simulations of particle-laden flows are computationally limited to a scale of thousands of particles due to the complex interactions between particles and fluid. Some approaches to increase the number of particles in such simulations require information about the fluid-induced force on a particle, which is a major challenge in this research area. In this paper, we present an approach to develop symbolic models for the fluid-induced force. We use a graph network as inductive bias to model the underlying pairwise particle interactions. The internal parts of the network are then replaced by symbolic models using a genetic programming algorithm. We include prior problem knowledge in our algorithm. The resulting equations show an accuracy in the same order of magnitude as state-of-the-art approaches for different benchmark datasets. They are interpretable and deliver important building blocks. Our approach is a promising alternative to "black-box" models from the literature.

This paper addresses the scheduling of turnaround operations for flights in civil airports. A series of complex issues, including the heterogeneity of flights and operators, resource constraints on turnaround operations, temporal restrictions and alternative service patterns of turnaround operations, multi-functional operators, multi-trip services and multi-to-one services, are jointedly considered. We propose two formulations for the problem: A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model, and a constraint programming (CP) model. For comparison purpose, we also present simplified versions of the models in which the multi-to-one services are prohibited. The uncertainty are incorporated by modifying the models based on robust optimisation principles. The numerical experiments are conducted using instances generated based on real flight data at Beijing Capital International Airport. It is shown that under current computer configurations, small-scale instances can be solved to the optimum by CPLEX within an acceptable period of time using the MILP model, while moderate-scale instances can be tackled using the CP formulation. To cope with large-scale instances, an improved sliding time window method is developed, and evaluated with different parameter combinations, showing that practical turnaround schedule would best be updated two to three times per hour. Besides, after a case study in both static and stochastic scenarios, we illustrate that multi-to-one services should be specifically considered and highlighted, for their existence could significantly improve the operator utilisation rate and reduce flight delay, especially when the uncertainties are taken into account.
