Abstract:
... Accurate and reliable runoff prediction is critical for solving problems related to water resource planning and management. Deterministic runoff prediction methods cannot meet the needs of risk analysis and decision making. In this study, a runoff probability prediction model based on natural gradient boosting (NGboost) with tree-structured parzen estimator (TPE) optimization is proposed. The mode ...

... The zein-tannic acid nanoparticles (ZTNPs) were developed as antioxidants for oxidation inhibition of blackberry seed oils. These particles were spherical with an average diameter below 200 nm. The results of structural characterization indicated that tannic acid was bound to zein by electrostatic, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions, resulting in the conformational changes of zein. The ...

Abstract:
... Reservoir operation plays an important role in reservoir management. In reservoir operation, water balance calculation is a very important step. At present, one of the main challenges is that reservoir inflow cannot be calculated accurately due to jacking of the reservoir, which is produced by a downstream reservoir after the original course of the river has changed. Another reason that reservoir ...

Abstract:
... Satellite-retrieved and model-based reanalysis precipitation products with high resolution have received increasing attention in recent decades. Their hydrological performance has been widely evaluated. However, whether they can be applied in characterizing the novel category of extreme events, such as compound moist heat-flood (CMHF) events, has not been fully investigated to date. The CMHF refer ...
... The potential of soybean isoflavones (SI) as a quorum sensing (QS) inhibitor against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated in the present study. The inhibitory effects of SI on violacein production, biofilm formation, motility, and virulence factor production were evaluated. The acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The QS-related gen ...

Abstract:
... Data-driven models have been widely developed and achieved impressive results in streamflow prediction. However, the existing data-driven models mostly focus on the selection of input features and the adjustment of model structure, and less on the impact of spatial connectivity on daily streamflow prediction. In this paper, a basin network based on graph-structured data is constructed by consideri ...

Abstract:
... Reasonable optimal operation policy for complex multiple reservoir systems is very important for the safe and efficient utilization of water resources. The operation policy of multiple hydropower reservoirs should be optimized to maximize total hydropower generation, while ensuring flood control safety by effective and efficient storage and release policy of multiple reservoirs. To achieve this go ...

To explore the reasonable and effective application of time series decomposition in runoff forecasting, this study proposed a novel stepwise decomposition-integration-prediction considering boundary correction (SDIPBC) framework by using the stepwise dec ...
... Multireservoir joint flood control operation is an important nonstructural measure for flood control in some basins. Owing to the existence of uncertainties in flood control operation, various degrees of risk can be shown in flood control operation systems. Examining these uncertainties and the resulting risk of failure in multireservoir operation systems is extremely beneficial and indispensable ...

Abstract:
... In practical applications, the rational operation rule derivation can lead to significant improvements in the middle and long-term joint operation of cascade hydropower stations. The key issue of actual optimal operation is to select effective attributions from the deterministic optimal operation results, however, there is still no general and mature method to solve this problem. Firstly, the join ...
