It is crucial to study how thermal characteristics of concrete dam change over time, especially in cold regions, in order to guarantee long-term safety of the engineering projects. In this manuscript, an inverse analysis method by coupling the numerical simulation model and dam safety monitoring data, is proposed to solve the problem that true thermal parameters of the whole structure cannot be obtained by laboratory experiments or field tests of single points. Moreover, a numerical equivalence method of the dam and its insulation layer is introduced, in order to overcome the problem that the thickness of the insulation layer is much smaller than that of the concrete dam, resulting in low accuracy of the simulation model. Thirdly, the particle swarm optimization is introduced, in order to solve the ill-posed problems occurring during the solution process of multi-parameter inverse analysis. Considering the problem that the original particle swarm algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum and stuck edge, this study improves particles velocity and inertia weights. Benchmark function tests are applied to show the performance compared to several typical optimized algorithms. Numerical simulation and engineering verifi-cation are used to demonstrate the rationality and feasibility of the proposed method. The cases show that the residual box diagram of two typical measuring points calculated by inversion value is smaller than the median line and mean point calculated by design value. Moreover, the change law of the temperature field of the finite element calculation using the inversion values is closer to the actual measured value than that of the design value. The results indicate that the multi-parameter inverse method is feasible in insulated dam engineering. In addition, the result of the improved PSO optimization converges faster and has a higher fitness value than that of the original algorithm. It suggests that the improved PSO algorithm for thermal parameters i

The useful heat gain of a linear single-axis concentrating solar collector is significantly affected bY the orientation of the collector. The temporal distribution of the heat output, both diurnally and annually, and the integrated energy output varY with the direction of the collector axis. For a typical insolation sequence, a north to south orientation yields greater annual heat gain while an east to west orientation gives a flatter annual distribution. Selection of the best collector orientation depends on this distribution, the load profile, and the thermal capacitance of the system. The first two factors are considered in the definition of an economic criterion function which is then used to identify the optimum distribution of collectors among all possible orientations.

This research investigates strategies to enable a deputy satellite to hover within a defined volume fixed in the vicinity of a chief satellite in a circular orbit for an extended period of time. Previous research developed initial methodologies for maintaining restricted teardrop hover orbits that exist in a plane fixed within the chief's local reference frame. These methods use the natural drift of the deputy satellite in the relative frame and impulsive thrust to keep the deputy in a bounded volume relative to the chief, but do not address fuel optimality. This research extends and enhances that work by finding the optimal trajectories produced with discrete thrusts that minimize fuel spent per unit time and stay within the user-defined volume, thus providing a practical hover capability in the vicinity of the chief. The work assumes that the Clohessy-Wiltshire closeness assumption between the deputy and chief is valid. Using the new methodology developed in this work, feasible closed- and nonclosed-relative orbits are found and evaluated based on a fuel criterion and are compared with an easily calculated continuous-thrust baseline. It is shown that in certain scenarios (generally corresponding to a smaller total time of flight) a discrete-thrust solution provides a lower overall fuel cost than a continuous-thrust solution. A simple check is proposed that enables the mission planner to make the correct strategy choice.

In this paper, a ten-joint 3-D kinematic model has been developed by carefully *** the anatomy of the lower limb during bicycling for understandmg and analyzmg the complex motions of the joints. An optimization algorithm has also been developed and used to compute the Joint vanables and find the numerical solution. In order to simulate the indeterminate kinematic system, random vectors of multinormal distribution have been generated and statistical means and variances have been obtained from these random vector samples. The validity of the developed model has been checked by comparing the results with that of *** measurements. The model developed has good desirability to descnbe the hmb and IS more accurate than 2-D models to predict the motion of lower extremities.

A reliable model for photovoltaic (PV) cell/panel is of great interest;it helps to simulate and better understand the behavior of PV systems. Consequently, better control and optimization of the system can be achieved. The most used models of PV cell/panel in literature are the one-diode (ODM) and double-diode (DDM) models. Their accuracy strongly depends on their parameters which must be obtained carefully. optimization-based approaches are widely adopted for this purpose. In this context, this paper presents two main references studies: The first one focuses on optimization methods and their three basic elements: model, objective function and algorithm. The study highlights the improvement that can be made to the accuracy of the final I-V curve and to the CPU-time required for the extraction by choosing the right combination of the three elements. This is done through the analysis of more than 50 results obtained by different combinations of algorithms, objective functions and models applied to benchmark PV cells and panels widely used in literature. The best combinations are identified and recommended. The second is a detailed comparison and classification of 47 I-V curve estimation methods based on three different approaches: optimization techniques, analytical methods and explicit models of PV cells/panels.

Assigning paper to suitable reviewers is of great significance to ensure the accuracy and fairness of peer review results. In the past three decades, many researchers have made a wealth of achievements on the reviewer assignment problem (RAP). In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of the primary research achievements on reviewer assignment algorithm from 1992 to 2022. Specially, this survey first discusses the background and necessity of automatic reviewer assignment, and then systematically summarize the existing research work from three aspects, i.e., construction of candidate reviewer database, computation of matching degree between reviewers and papers, and reviewer assignment optimization algorithm, with objective comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the current algorithms. Afterwards, the evaluation metrics and datasets of reviewer assignment algorithm are summarized. To conclude, we prospect the potential research directions of RAP. Since there are few comprehensive survey papers on reviewer assignment algorithm in the past ten years, this survey can serve as a valuable reference for the related researchers and peer review organizers.

Wind energy and solar energy are inexhaustible green, clean and renewable energy sources on the earth. Comprehensive utilization of wind and solar resources and the development of wind-solar complementary power generation technology has become a research and development trend in the field of new energy. The wind and solar hybrid power generation system is a power generation system that combines wind power and solar photovoltaic power generation, which is mainly composed of wind turbines, solar photovoltaic battery packs, controllers, batteries, inverters, AC and DC loads and other parts. This paper systematically expounds the composition of the wind-solar hybrid power generation system and the characteristics of each part, proposes a new type of vertical axis wind turbine, and uses a newly proposed improved particle swarm algorithm (YAPSO) to optimize the multi-objective battery in wind-solar hybrid power generation. The simulation experiment proves the feasibility and practicability of the proposed algorithm.

Cloud computing provides a framework for supporting end users easily attaching powerful services and applications through Internet. To give secure and reliable services in cloud computing environment is an important issue. Providing security requires more than user authentication with passwords or digital certificates and confidentiality in data transmission, because it is vulnerable and prone to network intrusions that affect confidentiality, availability and integrity of Cloud resources and offered services. To detect DoS attack and other network level malicious activities in Cloud, use of only traditional firewall is not an efficient solution. In this paper, we propose a cooperative and hybrid network intrusion detection system (CH-NIDS) to detect network attacks in the Cloud environment by monitoring network traffic, while maintaining performance and service quality. In our NIDS framework, we use Snort as a signature based detection to detect known attacks, while for detecting network anomaly, we use Back-Propagation Neural network (BPN). By applying snort prior to the BPN classifier, BPN has to detect only unknown attacks. So, detection time is reduced. To solve the problem of slow convergence of BPN and being easy to fall into local optimum, we propose to optimize the parameters of it by using an optimization algorithm in order to ensure high detection rate, high accuracy, low false positives and low false negatives with affordable computational cost. In addition, in this framework, the IDSs operate in cooperative way to oppose the DoS and DDoS attacks by sharing alerts stored in central log. In this way, unknown attacks that were detected by any IDS can easily be detected by others IDSs. This also helps to reduce computational cost for detecting intrusions at others IDS, and improve detection rate in overall the Cloud environment.
