Deep Learning-Based Non-Intrusive Commercial Load Monitoring
Authors: Zhou Mengran , Shao Shuai , Wang Xu , Zhu Ziwei , Hu Feng
Published: July 2022

Commercial load is an essential demand-side resource. Monitoring commercial loads helps not only commercial customers understand their energy usage to improve energy efficiency but also helps electric utilities develop demand-side management strategies to ensure stable operation of the power system. However, existing non-intrusive methods cannot monitor multiple commercial loads simultaneously and do not consider the high correlation and severe imbalance among commercial loads. Therefore, this paper proposes a deep learning-based non-intrusive commercial load monitoring method to solve these problems. The method takes the total power signal of the commercial building as input and directly determines the state and power consumption of several specific appliances. The key elements of the method are a new neural network structure called TTRNet and a new loss function called MLFL. TTRNet is a multi-label classification model that can autonomously learn correlation information through its unique network structure. MLFL is a loss function specifically designed for multi-label classification tasks, which solves the imbalance problem and improves the monitoring accuracy for challenging loads. To validate the proposed method, experiments are performed separately in seen and unseen scenarios using a public dataset. In the seen scenario, the method achieves an average F1 score of 0.957, which is 7.77% better than existing multi-label classification methods. In the unseen scenario, the average F1 score is 0.904, which is 1.92% better than existing methods. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper is both effective and practical.

Authors: Lee Kuan-Lun , Roesinger Andrea , Hommel Uwe
Published: July 2022

Industrie 4.0 has stirred turbulences in China since its birth in 2011. The struggles of the Chinese manufacturing enterprises towards realizing and adapting Industrie 4.0 in their production processes have given us many new perceptions. These insights and findings can in turn serve as inputs for academics and policy makers to structure or fine tune the development of the next generation of Industrie 4.0. The authors of this paper summarize the knowledge and understandings from their personal engagement assisting the Chinese manufacturing enterprises with digitalization in their production processes. A real-life example shows how a typical Chinese mid-size manufacturing enterprise ended up with new business models when they started out the digitalization journey with a simple goal to increase efficiency. We conclude that the Chinese market will continue to be relevant for the future development of Industrie 4.0.
Analysis of the Specialization Patterns of an Agricultural Innovation System: A Case Study on the Banana Production Chain (Colombia)
Authors: Quintero Santiago , Giraldo Diana P. , Garzon William Orjuela
Published: July 2022

The learning approach, understood as the process through which agribusiness creates knowledge and develops capabilities, is key to understanding the voluntary effort made by the firm to acquire the capabilities necessary to compete in an agricultural innovation system (AIS) and improve their transition to sustainability. In this framework, learning is understood as a complex phenomenon emerging alongside specialization. Agent-based modelling (ABM) has proven to be an appropriate method of analysis for such phenomena; however, existing models have limitations related to the bounded rationality of agents, their relational proximity, and market forces. In order to help overcome these limitations, we propose this model representing the local dynamics of competing and collaborating innovation agents, and the complementarity of their capabilities. The model makes it possible to study the dynamics of local learning and how patterns of specialization emerge, and to improve the transfer and adoption of technologies (smart farming), increasing their productivity and sustainability, and reducing their environmental impact in an agricultural innovation system. It also provides a point of reference to guide policies, programs, and strategies aiming to improve the system’s economic and innovative performance. To achieve this objective, we use a case study of the banana production chain to build an agent-based model.
Famous Chinese Traditional Dishes: Spatial Diffusion of Roast Duck in Mainland China and Spatial Association Characteristics of Chain Stores
Authors: Zhang Ke , Ye Yanjun , Qiu Yingqiao , Li Xinfeng
Published: July 2022

The spatial pattern and geographical diffusion of Chinese traditional food culture are important manifestations of population migration and cultural chain remodeling. Taking the national roast duck stores and Beijing Quanjude and Bianyifang brand chain roast duck stores as the research objects, the spatial distribution characteristics and geographic diffusion patterns of roast duck stores, and the spatial association characteristics of the chain stores are analyzed by using spatial analysis methods and mathematical statistics. The results of the study showed that: (1) The roast duck stores in the mainland show an overall northeast-southwest direction, and the spatial distribution is extremely uneven. The eastern coast of China shows a high-value continuous distribution, from the Bohai Bay Economic Circle and the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle, gradually radiating westward to the middle and showing the clustering characteristics of “point + surface”. (2) Using the point cluster analysis method, the diffusion pattern of roast duck stores in the three major economic zones of China is explored, and roast duck stores in the western region show the characteristics of contact diffusion combined with hierarchical diffusion. Contact diffusion is the main diffusion mode of roast duck stores in the east. The central region shows the diffusion characteristics of contact diffusion combined with hierarchical diffusion. Overall, the roast duck stores in mainland China show a composite diffusion pattern. (3) Quanjude and Bianyifang stores have spatial agglomeration characteristics, Quanjude chain stores have a slightly stronger central pointing, while Bianyifang roast duck chain stores have slightly wider spatial diffusion. Both brands significantly show spatial orientation close to transportation facilities and high consumption markets. The street population has a slightly weaker influence on the spatial distribution of the two brands. (4) Through the multivariate spatial analysis method, it is found that the spatial correlation of mutual attraction between Quanjude and Bianyifang roast duck chain stores is presented, but there are differences in the formation mechanism and weak asymmetry in the attraction intensity, which is related to the consumer population and corporate positioning of Quanjude and Bianyifang. With the advent of the big data era, it is possible to obtain and use big data analysis methods to reshape the deep information under the surface logic. Attention should be paid to the location choice of traditional restaurant chains in the new era, to explore the possibilities of enterprise development, and to improve the efficiency of urban space.

Published: July 2022

The utilization of mineral resources plays an important role in supporting and promoting economic development and social progress. As a necessary facility for the development and utilization of mineral resources, tailings ponds will cause a series of safety and environmental problems once accidents occur. Based on the Sentinel-2 images obtained from the GEE (Google Earth Engine) platform, this paper carried out emergency monitoring of the Yichun Luming Mining tailings pond leakage accident on 28 March 2020, through the spectral changes in monitoring points in the downstream rivers of the tailings pond, the changes in the images before and after the accident, and the analysis of long-time series various indexes. The results revealed that the pollution was quickly treated in a short time, and the river spectrum returned to normal on April 13. The pollution spread for approximately 300 km downstream to the Yijimi River and the Hulan River, and was finally intercepted at the Lanxi Old Bridge 67 km away from the Songhua River, so that more serious pollution was avoided. This accident had a direct impact on the surrounding six counties. The decrease in NDVI reflects that the accident has a certain degree of influence on the vegetation around the tailings pond, while the change in NDTI reflects that some remedial measures have been taken for the tailings pond after the accident. This study demonstrates the advantages of the GEE platform for the emergency monitoring of accidents, which can provide a reference for the emergency monitoring of similar accidents.
Mapping the Transformation Potential of Streets Using Urban Planning Parameters and Open Spatial Datasets
Authors: Pogačar Kaja , Žižek Andrej , Šenk Peter
Published: July 2022

Streets with an increasingly important place function play a significant role in the contemporary discourse on sustainable cities. The paper addresses urban streets that, observed from the urban planning perspective, have the potential to be transformed into either commercial or residential shared streets. After defining urban planning parameters identified as characteristic of shared streets, streets were quantified based on an analysis of the existing shared streets in Central Europe. By setting up distinctive scenarios that could help to detect specific types of streets, open spatial datasets were used for the mapping and identification of streets that could be transformed into shared streets. The methodology was tested on the example of the city of Maribor in Slovenia. The results of the research show that the selected urban planning parameters can help to identify streets with transformation potential, whereas the basic parameters, such as the building use and the length and width of the street, help us to better understand the urban fabric in which street spaces acquire new functions. The presented mapping method could serve as a testing tool for experts, planners, decision-makers, and the interested public to identify potential street transformations.
On a Novel Dynamics of SEIR Epidemic Models with a Potential Application to COVID-19
Authors: Rangasamy Maheswari , Chesneau Christophe , Martin-Barreiro Carlos , Leiva Víctor
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we study a type of disease that unknowingly spreads for a long time, but by default, spreads only to a minimal population. This disease is not usually fatal and often goes unnoticed. We propose and derive a novel epidemic mathematical model to describe such a disease, utilizing a fractional differential system under the Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo derivative. This model deals with the transmission between susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered classes. After formulating the model, equilibrium points as well as stability and feasibility analyses are stated. Then, we present results concerning the existence of positivity in the solutions and a sensitivity analysis. Consequently, computational experiments are conducted and discussed via proper criteria. From our experimental results, we find that the loss and regain of immunity result in the gain and loss of infections. Epidemic models can be linked to symmetry and asymmetry from distinct points of view. By using our novel approach, much research may be expected in epidemiology and other areas, particularly concerning COVID-19, to state how immunity develops after being infected by this virus.
New Hermite–Hadamard Integral Inequalities for Geometrically Convex Functions via Generalized Weighted Fractional Operator
Authors: Kalsoom Humaira , Latif Muhammad Amer , Khan Zareen A. , Al-Moneef Areej A.
Published: July 2022

The main purpose of this research is to concentrate on the development of new definitions for the weighted geometric fractional integrals of the left-hand side and right-hand side of the function ℵ with regard to an increasing function used as an integral kernel. Moreover, the newly developed class of left-hand side and right-hand side weighted geometric fractional integrals of a function ℵ, by applying an additional increasing function, identifies a variety of novel classes as special cases. This is a development of the previously established fractional integrals by making use of the class of geometrically convex functions. Geometrically convex functions in weighted fractional integrals of a function ℵ in the form of another rising function yield the Hermite–Hadamard inequality type. We also establish a novel midpoint identity and the associated inequalities for a class of weighted fractional integral functions known as geometrically convex with respect to an increasing function and symmetric with respect to the geometric mean of the endpoints of the interval. In order to demonstrate the validity of our research, we present examples. Moreover, fractional inequalities and their solutions are applied in many symmetrical domains.
Low Density Neutron Star Matter with Quantum Molecular Dynamics: The Role of Isovector Interactions
Authors: Mehta Parit , Nandi Rana , Gomes Rosana de Oliveira , Dexheimer Veronica , Steinheimer Jan
Published: July 2022

The effect of isospin-dependent nuclear forces on the inner crust of neutron stars is modeled within the framework of Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD). To successfully control the density dependence of the symmetry energy of neutron-star matter below nuclear saturation density, a mixed vector-isovector potential is introduced. This approach is inspired by the baryon density and isospin density-dependent repulsive Skyrme force of asymmetric nuclear matter. In isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter, the system shows nucleation, as nucleons are arranged into shapes resembling nuclear pasta. The dependence of clusterization in the system on the isospin properties is also explored by calculating two-point correlation functions. We show that, as compared to previous results that did not involve such mixed interaction terms, the energy symmetry slope L is successfully controlled by varying the corresponding coupling strength. Nevertheless, the effect of changing the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy L on the crust-core transition density does not seem significant. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first implementation of such a coupling in a QMD model for isospin asymmetric matter, which is relevant to the inner crust of neutron and proto-neutron stars.

Published: July 2022

With the spread of the new SARS-CoV-2 variants, many countries have begun COVID-19 vaccine booster programs with the mix-and-match strategy. However, research on the adverse events (AE) of booster doses is still scarce. The aim of our study was to analyze the reported incidence rate (IR), and factors associated with AE, including short-term serious adverse events (SAE) and short-term non-serious adverse events (NSAE), among different vaccine products through the hospital-based Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). A total of 7432 records were collected during the three-month study period. While more than half of the responses (52.2%) reported the presence of AE after receiving a booster dose, only a few AE were considered SAE (2.4%). AE were significantly higher among women and people of younger age, and the brand of vaccines is the strongest factor associated with post-booster dose AE. The incidence of AE in mRNA1273 is higher than in BNT162b2 and MVC-COV1901 (IRR mRNA1273 vs. BNT162b2: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.11–1.34; BNT162b2 vs. MVC-COV1901: 2.77, 95% CI: 2.27–3.39). The IR of different groups were calculated to support the decision making of the booster vaccine. Although AE were not uncommon for booster vaccines, almost all AE were not serious and predictable using estimated IR. This result can be used to optimize booster vaccine decision making.
Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) in the Integrated Hydrological and Fluvial Systems Modeling: Review of Current Applications and Trends
Authors: Gonzales-Inca Carlos , Calle Mikel , Croghan Danny , Torabi Haghighi Ali , Marttila Hannu , Silander Jari , Alho Petteri
Published: July 2022

This paper reviews the current GeoAI and machine learning applications in hydrological and hydraulic modeling, hydrological optimization problems, water quality modeling, and fluvial geomorphic and morphodynamic mapping. GeoAI effectively harnesses the vast amount of spatial and non-spatial data collected with the new automatic technologies. The fast development of GeoAI provides multiple methods and techniques, although it also makes comparisons between different methods challenging. Overall, selecting a particular GeoAI method depends on the application’s objective, data availability, and user expertise. GeoAI has shown advantages in non-linear modeling, computational efficiency, integration of multiple data sources, high accurate prediction capability, and the unraveling of new hydrological patterns and processes. A major drawback in most GeoAI models is the adequate model setting and low physical interpretability, explainability, and model generalization. The most recent research on hydrological GeoAI has focused on integrating the physical-based models’ principles with the GeoAI methods and on the progress towards autonomous prediction and forecasting systems.
Parametric Vine Copula Framework in the Trivariate Probability Analysis of Compound Flooding Events
Authors: Latif Shahid , Simonovic Slobodan P.
Published: July 2022

The interaction between oceanographic, meteorological, and hydrological factors can result in an extreme flooding scenario in the low-lying coastal area, called compound flooding (CF) events. For instance, rainfall and storm surge (or high river discharge) can be driven by the same meteorological forcing mechanisms, tropical or extra-tropical cyclones, resulting in a CF phenomenon. The trivariate distributional framework can significantly explain compound events’ statistical behaviour reducing the associated high-impact flood risk. Resolving heterogenous dependency of the multidimensional CF events by incorporating traditional 3D symmetric or fully nested Archimedean copula is quite complex. The main challenge is to preserve all lower-level dependencies. An approach based on decomposing the full multivariate density into simple local building blocks via conditional independence called vine or pair-copulas is a much more comprehensive way of approximating the trivariate flood dependence structure. In this study, a parametric vine copula of a drawable (D-vine) structure is introduced in the trivariate modelling of flooding events with 46 years of observations of the west coast of Canada. This trivariate framework searches dependency by combining the joint impact of annual maximum 24-h rainfall and the highest storm surge and river discharge observed within the time ±1 day of the highest rainfall event. The D-vine structures are constructed in three alternative ways by permutation of the conditioning variables. The most appropriate D-vine structure is selected using the fitness test statistics and estimating trivariate joint and conditional joint return periods. The investigation confirms that the D-vine copula can effectively define the compound phenomenon’s dependency. The failure probability (FP) method is also adopted in assessing the trivariate hydrologic risk. It is observed that hydrologic events defined in the trivariate case produce higher FP than in the bivariate (or univariate) case. It is also concluded that hydrologic risk increases (i) with an increase in the service design life of the hydraulic facilities and (ii) with a decrease in return periods.
How Talented Second-language Learners Regulate their Emotions and Cope with Stress
Authors: DeCoursey Christina
Published: July 2022

Most studies of talented learners focus on the nature of their accelerated cognitive abilities, and on structuring curricula to support them in achieving academically. Few studies of talented learners explore their emotional regulatory and coping strategies, as part of how they learn. Yet emotional regulation and coping strategies are an essential component of self-efficacy and self-regulation. Many talented learners are now also second-language learners. Programmers are among the most talented of 21st century learners. Programming requires linguistic proficiency, advanced quantitative reasoning, and multiple, complex forms of procedural reasoning. Mixed methods were used to explore how 34 talented programmers responded to a stressful second-language task. Data was analysed using one deductive and one emergent content coding frame, Appraisal analysis, and transitivity analysis. Results show that talented programmers handle stress by identifying and solving contextual problems. They realise positive subjective attitudes as evaluations of context, but frame negative emotions as interior experiences. As actors, they represent themselves as closely aligned with their team.

Authors: Kuleli Mesut , Tuna Didem
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the critical thinking attitudes of translator and interpreter candidates with a view to coming up with recommendations on curriculum development in Translation and Interpretation undergraduate studies. A "Critical Thinking Skills Scale" was administered to 354 translation and interpretation students from five universities in Turkey. Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Scheffe test were used in data analysis. With the highest and lowest attitudes found for receptiveness and inquiry skills respectively, the total critical thinking attitudes of translator candidates are above the average. The class level of the students is inversely correlated with total scores for critical thinking attitudes, in addition to the flexibility and judiciousness subdimensions. Moreover, translator candidates of the Bulgarian language have the highest total scores for critical thinking attitudes as compared to those of English, French, Persian and German. The results show that innovative curricula involving related tasks and activities must be developed for translation and interpretation departments to enhance translator candidates' critical thinking skills, bearing in mind the very nature of the act of translation and interpretation.
Poetics of Migration Trauma in Mohsin Hamid's "Exit West"
Authors: Liaqat Qurratulaen
Published: July 2022

Migration has emerged as one of the most pertinent issues in the contemporary milieu. Currently, more than ever, people from many countries are being forced to migrate because of religious, social, cultural, national, racial and economic issues. This increasing trend of shifting from one place to another is causing an epistemological shift in the current milieu of human history. Exit West (2017) by Hamid is one of those novels that develops a discursive discourse of the ongoing migrant crisis, and highlights the ugly realities related to the phenomenon of relocation. It chronicles the story of two lovers, Nadia and Saeed, who migrate from their conflict-ridden country to save their lives. This paper configures the poetics of migration trauma in the contemporary literature by analyzing the symbols, metaphors and narrative technique used in Hamid's text with the aim of tracing a discursive aesthetic trajectory of the migration trauma discourse.

The relevance of the problem of this article lies in determining the current content of the issues of the personnel policy of the Russian Navy and its most important components such as social security, social security of military personnel and their families. The profession of a military sailor today is associated with many restrictions, the need to be constantly ready to take up combat duty, especially in the situation of the Russian Federation conducting a special operation in Ukraine. The requirements for professional training and personal qualities of the military personnel of the Navy are increasing in the most serious way. The solution of the goals and objectives of naval activity today is impossible without a quality personnel policy, the provision of social guarantees and social protection. The article defines the goals and objectives of the study. Official documents of the level of presidential decrees, scientific articles of a theoretical and methodological nature, and specialists — practitioners of the Russian Navy were used as an empirical and information base for the study. It is shown that the modern state policy in the field of maritime activities for the period up to 2030 is determined by a number of state documents of a legal, doctrinal, strategic and planning nature. At the highest political level — the presidential Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 20, 2017 N 327, the content of the social security sphere of the Navy is determined and a number of social guarantees are fixed for military personnel and their families, civilian personnel of the Navy and federal security service agencies. The author made conclusions and recommendations.

The triaxial sensitivity and directivity of different structures are simulated and analyzed by the finite element method. The vector hydrophone chip is prepared by a micromechanical process, then encapsulated and tested. The results show that the MEMS piezoelectric vector hydrophone with a U-groove structure possessed a good directivity pattern in the form of an “8” shape. Compared with the z-axis sensitivity, the x-axis and y-axis sensitivities of the structure with a U-groove reduce by more than 15 dB and 26 dB, respectively. From the acquired experiment results, the structure with U-groove effectively improves the sensitivity of the device and reduces the structural directivity in the yz plane to a certain extent. Nonetheless, the directivity can meet the requirements of practical application.

Epitaxial (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN) thin films were deposited on (001)SrRuO3/Pt/ZrO2/Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering, and post-annealing effects on the as-deposited epitaxial KNN thin films were investigated. According to the findings, by annealing, the crystal system of these thin films changes from a tetragonal to an orthorhombic system because of the release of internal stress. The asymmetry of polarization–electric field hysteresis loops along the electric field changes from a positive to a negative side by annealing. This means that stable spontaneous polarization P
s changes from the upward to downward direction with an increase in the number of A-site vacancies. In addition, the displacement–electric field curves of epitaxial KNN/Si unimorph cantilevers exhibit asymmetric behaviors. A relatively high converse piezoelectric coefficient ∣e
31,f
∣ = 6.4 C m−2 is obtained for 5 h annealed epitaxial KNN thin films.

Abstrack. The decline in the power of interest in learning in the subject of Arts and Culture Skills (SBK) was experienced by some elementary school (SD) students in West Java, this condition occurred because of boring teaching and learning activities, only through the media of books, teachers, and blackboards. Some of the programs run by the teachers are considered ineffective, the facilities for playing traditional musical instruments are also incomplete, moreover they are less familiar with traditional musical instruments in their own regions. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to create an android based educational game in order to make it easier for elementary school students to get to know traditional musical instruments in West Java, to help increase interest in learning, and to increase children's thinking patterns. The development of this program is assisted by the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method, and blackbox testing as a test, from these results it can be shown that this educational game has succeeded in increasing the learning interest of elementary school students, and this program can also be used by the community.
