Risk‐return optimised energy asset allocation in transmission‐distribution system using tangency portfolio and Black–Litterman model
Authors: M Jisma , Mohan Vivek , Thomas Mini Shaji
Published: May 2023

The application of Markowitz and tangency portfolio and Black–Litterman models is extended by the authors to energy portfolio selection in transmission‐distribution environments with high penetration of renewable energy. As Transmission System Operator (TSO) and Distribution System Operator (DSO) contextually take mutualistic or conflicting positions in their portfolio selection process, their risk‐return interactions and behaviours depend on their subjective views on generation and operation. Here, the financial portfolio allocation tool Black–Litterman Model is adapted to incorporate subjective views of the operators to arrive at more intuitive portfolios. The best portfolios are searched within the acceptable risk‐return search space of each operator defined by their Markowitz efficient frontiers (EF), for Pareto‐optimising their profits. The tangency portfolio approach, which is generally used to determine the portfolio of risky and risk‐free assets in finance, is used here to determine the portfolio of renewable (energy‐risky) and fuel‐based sources (energy‐risk‐free). The proposed methodology is adopted in an HV–MV interconnected test system operated by one TSO and two DSOs, having wind, solar, coal, gas and nuclear generation technologies. It is observed that completely customisable portfolios can be constructed for TSO and DSO based on their inherent financial and energy risk‐return behaviours and posterior views.
Object detection network based on dense dilated encoder net
Authors: Liu Shaohua , Yang Ao , She Chundong , Du Kang
Published: May 2023

In this paper, the authors apply the feature pyramid network (FPN) to the single‐stage anchor‐free object detection algorithm CenterNet, and the effectiveness of the multi‐level feature fusion of FPN for the object detection algorithm is proved by experiments. However, multi‐level feature fusion leads to an increase in computational cost. In this regard, this paper proposes an object detection algorithm, called DDE‐Net, that does not use multi‐level feature fusion and only uses single‐level feature for optimization. The key component in it: the dense dilated encoder, which encourages dense information exchange of features between different spatial scales. This paper presents extensive experiments, and DDE‐Net shows strong performance compared to that of other popular models on the PASCAL VOC and on the COCO2017 dataset. On the COCO2017 dataset, the authors’ DDE‐Net achieves comparable results with its feature pyramids counterpart RetinaNet, while applying the same backbone with smaller params and GFLOPs than RetinaNet. With an image size of 512 × 512, DDE‐Net achieves 37.3 AP running at 81 fps on 2080 Ti.
Reconstruction of asteroid spin states from Gaia DR3 photometry
Authors: Ďurech J. , Hanuš J.
Published: May 2023

Aims. Gaia Data Release 3 contains accurate photometric observations of more than 150 000 asteroids covering a time interval of 34 months. With a total of about 3 000 000 measurements, a typical number of observations per asteroid ranges from a few to several tens. We aimed to reconstruct the spin states and shapes of asteroids from this dataset.

Methods. We computed the viewing and illumination geometry for each individual observation and used the light curve inversion method to find the best-fit asteroid model, which was parameterized by the sidereal rotation period, the spin axis direction, and a low-resolution convex shape. To find the best-fit model, we ran the inversion for tens of thousands of trial periods on interval 2–10 000 h, with tens of initial pole directions. To find the correct rotation period, we also used a triaxial ellipsoid model for the shape approximation.

Results. In most cases the number of data points was insufficient to uniquely determine the rotation period. However, for about 8600 asteroids we were able to determine the spin state uniquely together with a low-resolution convex shape model. This large sample of new asteroid models enables us to study the spin distribution in the asteroid population. The distribution of spins confirms previous findings that (i) small asteroids have poles clustered toward ecliptic poles, likely because of the YORP-induced spin evolution, (ii) asteroid migration due to the Yarkovsky effect depends on the spin orientation, and (iii) members of asteroid families have the sense of rotation correlated with their proper semimajor axis: over the age of the family, orbits of prograde rotators evolved, due to the Yarkovsky effect, to larger semimajor axes, while those of retrograde rotators drifted in the opposite direction.

A Narratological Study of Streaming Science Fiction Films: The Case of “Dune”
Authors: Zhou Wei
Published: May 2023

As technology continues to advance, science fiction films are adopting new narrative forms. The Hollywood-produced film “Dune” follows the traditional narrative model while also absorbing elements from popular culture, thus becoming a new type of secular mythology. It takes the traditional narrative model one step further and becomes what Deleuze describes as a new paradigm of cinematic narrative, known as “pure optical and sound situations”. By studying the narrative logic and style of “Dune” through the theoretical paradigm of narratology, we can not only focus on the changes in the narrative content and form of science fiction films in the era of streaming media but also explore the aesthetic meaning of science fiction embedded within it.

The Contemporary Application of Confucius’ Being Carefree
Authors: Xing Enhui
Published: May 2023

As can be observed from contemporary life, emotions like feeling distressed, anxious or stressful lasts through every stage in life. If these states of mind are not properly managed and regulated, they can lead to anxiety and other emotions, which greatly affect the well-being at all ages, thus spilling over from the individual to family well-being and then even to social harmony. According to research findings in psychology, negotiable views on fate are positively correlated with the perception of social adversity, the escape from psychological distress, and the attainment of happiness2. This paper argues that Confucius’ thoughts, words and deeds all embody the concept of negotiable fate. In addition, the excellent Chinese traditional culture also contains the wisdom of being carefree, helping people lead a life free from shame or fear due to their sticking to the moral standard and teachings. Confucius’ state of “no worries” is undoubtedly a contemporary remedy for confusion and anxiety.

Authors: Zhang Yaxin , Wang Yongfang
Published: May 2023

In order to adapt to the change of learning style and pay attention to inquiry learning in the new curriculum reform, a heuristic teaching model of life problems is proposed. The heuristic teaching model of life problems is mainly divided into three steps: putting forward physical problems in life, teachers’ guided learning and experimental demonstration. Through course practice, students who adopt the heuristic teaching mode of life problems have greatly improved their love for physics courses, and their practical ability is stronger. They can think independently, analyze and solve problems, find physical knowledge from life and explain it with physical theoretical knowledge, and have stronger application ability. At the same time, the results of students who adopt the heuristic teaching mode of life problems are greatly improved, which provides a feasible scheme for the curriculum reform and development of physics in junior middle school.
The Dilemma and Outlet for the Teaching of English Intensive Reading in the New Media Era
Authors: Zhang Yongping , Li Zaibo
Published: May 2023

In the new media era where impetuous atmosphere and “shallow reading” prevail, the value of traditional English intensive reading was seriously underestimated. It is mainly manifested in the surface structure of the teacher’s explanation, students’ scarce awareness about intensive reading, and the disconnection between practice and the content of the teaching and in intensive reading lectures is disconnected classes. The key to solving the problem is that teachers guide students to pay attention to the accumulation of information, use new media resources to strengthen the effects of reading input, and use the combination of multiple input pathways to improve the traditional and single intensive teaching mode, and cultivate students’ awareness of intensive reading.

The Euphemism Comparison Between English and Chinese
Authors: Fu Yang
Published: May 2023

There are many lexical studies on euphemisms and general studies, and there is currently a lack of research on euphemisms in context. There is a lack of relevant articles based on euphemisms for chronological studies. This article examines English euphemisms through chronological comparisons and focuses on the influence of different cultures of different generations on euphemisms. The article explains the fundamental logic of the change and development of euphemisms. The culture of Western countries emphasizes personality development, while Chinese culture emphasizes restraint. Under the influence of Western cultures, Western euphemisms are relatively simple and mostly used to express politeness. It is relatively complex and emphasizes the human understanding that Chinese culture influences Chinese euphemisms. Along with the Europeanization of Chinese, Chinese euphemisms have also been influenced to some extent by English euphemisms. However, as time passed, Chinese and English euphemisms developed in a more concise direction, but both languages retained the polite function of euphemisms. Euphemisms are meant to show politeness and avoid conflict. Therefore, it is important to use the right euphemisms in intercultural communication and inter-age communication.

Organizational culture is playing a more and more important role in corporate competition. This paper attempts to combine “storytelling” with the construction and dissemination of corporate organizational culture. The aim is to provide an effective perspective and method for how companies can establish and spread culture by applying narrative theory in storytelling. The paper draws on Barthes’ structuralism and constructs a narrative theory framework for building an organizational culture based on functional, operational, and narrative levels, focusing on how to “select” and “tell” stories. Using case analysis as a research method, the paper analysis two representative energy companies, China Shenhua Corporation, and U.S. Peabody Energy Corporation, to confirm the applicability of the theoretical framework and identifies differences in their storytelling approaches to building corporate culture. First, in terms of story themes, China Shenhua Corporation emphasizes more on employees and output, while Peabody focuses more on innovation and social responsibility. Second, in terms of story content, China Shenhua focuses more on leadership and executives, while Peabody focuses more on general employees. Third, in terms of story structure, both companies present their stories in chronological order.
Public Reason of Interpretation
Authors: Liang Hongyan
Published: May 2023

Interpretative activity is a rational cognition of man on objective existence, and when this kind of reason blends with publicness in social field and integrates into public reason of man, in essence, it is the rational cognition of man as subject on materialistic world in life; in practice, it is the spontaneous consciousness of man on the significance, anxiety and construction of his own being. Only in public rational field can the meaning of text be judged correctly and understood，and the interpretation obtain the identity of legitimacy. In the interpretive behavior of human beings, the aims of public reasons are as follows: first, to satisfy the rational cognitive requirement of interpretive subject and make its achievements shared by rational beings;; secondly，to promote the interpretation of object to reach the certainty of meaning and restrict people to interpret metaphysically according to principle of freedom. Due to the general misinterpretation of the practice in interpretive activity, public reason of interpretation adopts value and meaning as a pattern. In the stage of recognizing regulation so as to acquire fact, it is a mixture of cognition, understanding and proving with heterogeneous, coinciding and contradictory textual meaning, which results in the foundation for the rational cognition of the truth. In the stage of ascertain knowledge, it opposes nihilistic interpretation and constructs an interpersonal interpretative and understanding relationship with its public nature to know the commonality of text so as to form the common understanding of the common nature of text

Published: May 2023

National identity constitutes the psychological basis and important force for the survival and development of a country. How to shape and construct national identity and maintain the unity and stability of multi-ethnic countries is an important subject that multi-ethnic countries must face. Citizenship education is considered to be the basic path to cultivate and strengthen national identity. The construction of national identity affects the direction of citizenship education, which in turn affects the cultivation of national identity. National identity and citizenship education interact and shape each other. It should be pointed out that both national identity and citizenship education are related to citizenship, and citizenship is the connection point between national identity and citizenship education.

Introducción El síndrome de burnout fue descrito como un conjunto de síntomas relacionados a cansancio emocional, despersonalización y falta de realización personal. En especialistas de Ortopedia y Traumatología, se ha descrito una prevalencia entre 4% y 59,4%. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar, en especialistas de Ortopedia y Traumatología en Chile, la prevalencia de burnout en sus dimensiones y sus factores asociados.

Materiales y Métodos Se invitó a participar a los especialistas inscritos al Congreso Chileno el año 2016. Se evaluó el síndrome de burnout con el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory. Se describieron las variables numéricas y categóricas, y se analizó el burnout según sus dimensiones y variables asociadas. Se consideró la significancia estadística con valores de p < 0,05. Este proyecto fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética Científica Institucional.

Resultados Se obtuvo la respuesta de la encuesta completa de 99 traumatólogos. La mediana de edad fue de 45 (rango: 29–76) años, y el 92% (n = 85) era del sexo masculino. Un 21% presentó un alto puntaje en la dimensión cansancio emocional, 20%, en despersonalización, y un 6% tenía alteración en la dimensión de realización personal. En la muestra total, un 35% presentó burnout. Las variables que se asociaron significativamente con la presencia de burnout fueron dormir menos de 5 horas y el consumo de modafinilo.

Conclusión En este estudio se encontró una prevalencia de 35% de burnout, definido como la alteración de al menos una de las dimensiones. Futuros estudios deberán indagar en la prevención a partir de los factores de riesgo modificables.
Newton’s cradle and Astro-Blaster: toy hybridization for studying chain collisions
Authors: Sapia P , Bonanno A , Bozzo G
Published: May 2023

We present a multiple-collision apparatus, based on low-cost and easy-to-find materials, which offers the opportunity to plan and conduct a sequence of experimental activities aimed at studying, in a very simple way, the energy transfer in multiple collisions. Our apparatus is based on the use of everyday objects such as toys, which stimulate students’ interest by creating a familiar learning context. Two significant experiments on multiple collisions are described and the analyses of the corresponding experimental results are discussed. The first experiment makes it possible to analyze the kinetic energy transfer along a chain of adjacent balls. The second experiment offers the opportunity to give an analogical conceptual illustration of the bounce of a supernova core after gravitational collapse. Each experiment is pedagogically introduced by asking students to answer an appropriate stimulus questions, which were identified by instructors in a preliminary brainstorm session with students. Last, a theoretical model is given for kinetic energy transfer along a chain of balls and the experimental results are compared with the model predictions.
Category-aware dual adversarial domain adaptation model for rolling bearings fault diagnosis under variable conditions

Published: May 2023

The domain adaptation methods have good performance in solving the distribution discrepancy of vibration signals of rolling bearings under variable conditions, but without considering the alignment of different categories. To this end, a new dual adversarial domain adaptation (2ADA) mechanism for feature intra-category is proposed and a fault diagnosis model based on 2ADA is built in this paper. The method effectively uses category information to achieve category awareness, and avoids misclassification at the fuzzy decision boundary. In the training process, the multiple-kernel maximum mean discrepancy is used to reduce the discrepancy and perform a global alignment. The category-level alignment is performed when 2ADA is activated, which due to obtain more comprehensive domain adaptation performance and improve the accuracy of fault classification. The results of fault diagnosis experiments on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset and the rotating machinery fault platform dataset demonstrate that, the diagnosis accuracy of the proposed method is improved by up to 15.46% and 5.75% on tasks with high domain shift when compared with convolutional neural network method, which verifies the effectiveness of the method.
