Effect of Polianthes tuberosa (Amaryllidaceae) on the Reproduction and Biochemical Parameters in the Ovotestis of Snail Lymnaea acuminata (Mollusca,Pulmonata)

The present study elucidates the effect of powder of Polianthes tuberosa bulb and its sapogenins tigogenin and hecogenin on the reproduction of the snail Lymnaea acuminata. It has been reported that the two sapogenins tigogenin and hecogenin caused a significant reduction in fecundity, hatchability, and survival of young snails. Exposure to sublethal concentration caused a small but significant reduction in protein, amino acids, nucleic acids, and phosphatase activities in gonadal tissue of treated snails. Withdrawal after 7 days indicates that the effect of powder of P. tuberosa bulb, tigogenin, and hecogenin on the reproduction and different biochemical parameters is reversible.     

Robust Regulation of Alkalinity in Highly Uncertain Continuous Anaerobic Digestion Processes

In this paper, a multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) model‐based robust control scheme is proposed for the indirect control of both total alkalinity and the ratio (intermediate alkalinity)/(total alkalinity) by regulating volatile fatty acid concentrations and strong ions concentration, while guaranteeing the so‐called operational stability in anaerobic digestion (AD) processes. The proposed MIMO regulator is an adaptive controller derived from an AD model which incorporates the physicochemical equilibrium of the system as well as the use of a robust interval observer to estimate key process bounds that are used in the computation of the control efforts. Numerical simulations were carried out for a number of operating conditions under the most uncertain scenarios. Results showed that the proposed multivariable control law is able to recover the system stability around a pre‐determined set point in the face of parameter uncertainty and load disturbances.     

Robust and reliable metamodels for mechanized tunnel simulations

The main objective of this paper is to construct a robust and reliable metamodel for the mechanized tunnel simulation in computationally expensive applications. To accomplish this, four metamodeling approaches have been implemented and their performance has been systematically evaluated through a comparative study utilizing pure mathematical test functions. These metamodels are quadratic polynomial regression, moving least squares, proper orthogonal decomposition with radial basis functions, and an extended version of the latest approach. This extended version has been proposed by the authors and named proper orthogonal decomposition with extended radial basis functions. After that, a system identification study for mechanized tunneling has been conducted through the back analysis of synthetic measurements. In this study, the best performing metamodel, that is the one suggested by the authors, has been employed to surrogate a complex and computationally expensive 3D finite element simulation of the mechanized tunnel. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed metamodel can reliably replace the finite element simulation model and drastically reduce the expensive computation time of the back analysis subroutine.

草原生态系统模式中参数不确定性导致的模拟结果不确定性研究

基于五变量草原生态系统理论模式,应用与参数有关的条件非线性最优扰动(CNOP-P)方法,探讨了由参数不确定性导致的草原生态系统模式模拟结果的不确定性问题。参数的不确定性可能来源于观测和（或）对物理过程描述等的不确定性。选取了五变量草原生态系统模式中具有物理意义的32个模式参数进行数值试验。试验结果表明,对所考察的32个模式参数,在一定的不确定性和给定的优化时刻范围内,单独优化每个参数所得CNOP-Ps的联合模态与同时优化32个参数所得CNOP-P的模态并不相同。比较了上述两类参数误差以及随机参数误差对草原生态系统模拟的差异。随机参数误差与上述优化方法所得参数误差的不确定性范围大小相同。数值结果表明,同时优化32个参数所得 CNOP-P 类型参数误差使得草原生态系统模拟的不确定性程度最大。这种影响表现在使得草原生态系统转变为沙漠生态系统,或者使得草原生态系统转变为具有更多生草量的草原生态系统。上述数值结果不依赖于优化时间和参数不确定性程度的大小。这些数值结果建议我们应当考虑多参数的非线性相互作用来研究草原生态系统模式模拟的不确定性问题,并且揭示出CNOP-P方法是讨论上述问题的一个有用的工具。     

Predictive error dependencies when using pilot points and singular value decomposition in groundwater model calibration

A significant practical problem with the pilot point method is to choose the location of the pilot points. We present a method that is intended to relieve the modeler from much of this responsibility. The basic idea is that a very large number of pilot points are distributed more or less uniformly over the model area. Singular value decomposition (SVD) of the (possibly weighted) sensitivity matrix of the pilot point based model produces eigenvectors of which we pick a small number corresponding to significant eigenvalues. Super parameters are defined as factors through which parameter combinations corresponding to the chosen eigenvectors are multiplied to obtain the pilot point values. The model can thus be transformed from having many-pilot-point parameters to having a few super parameters that can be estimated by nonlinear regression on the basis of the available observations. (This technique can be used for any highly parameterized groundwater model, not only for models parameterized by the pilot point method.)     

Application of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to inverse problems in saturated groundwater flow

We develop a new Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) reduced order model for saturated groundwater flow, and apply that model to an inverse problem for the hydraulic conductivity field. We use sensitivities as the POD basis. We compare the output when the optimizer uses the reduced order model against results obtained with a full PDE based model. The solutions generated using the POD reduced model are comparable in residual norm to the solutions formed using only the full-scale model. The material parameters are similarly comparable. The time to solution when using the reduced model is reduced by at least an order of magnitude, as are the number of calls to the full model.

太阳风引起的地磁扰动的参数辨识

作为太阳风引起的地磁扰动的系统辨识一文的姊妹篇,本文利用参数系统辨识方法,对太阳风-磁层耦合系统做了进一步的探讨.根据地磁扰动机制的理论研究,地磁扰动被认为是太阳风能量耦合进入磁层以及由此引起的一系列磁层内能量的输运和耗散的结果.在此基础上,对太阳风-磁层系统的非线性情况进行了讨论,建立了Dst指数与太阳风参量的非线性函数关系,给出了由此得到的地磁扰动计算结果.同时还利用1967年2月3—12日和1980年12月16—23日的两次事件,对已得到的函数关系进行了验证和讨论.验证结果不仅对模型的合理性、普适性做了很好的说明,也表明这种非线性函数关系作为定量的地磁预报模型,具有一定的可信度和实用性.
