Abstract:
... The Russian- Ukraine War has and further influence the global energy and food security. However, the detailed influence degree, key weak points and influence process is still unclear in the current. Therefore, this study established a newly improved under-load cascading failure model with consideration of overload limitation, and used it to evaluate influence of Russian- Ukraine War on the global ...

Abstract:
... Crop simulation models play an increasingly important role in agricultural management. Therefore, improving crop models’ accuracy and reliability has become a key issue. Previous studies have shown that multi-model ensembles (MMEs) perform better than individual models and are capable of assessing model uncertainty. Here, we study the use of the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method to improve the ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated passive adsorption of nine antipsychotic drugs by the benthic oligochaete, Lumbriculus variegatus from spiked freshwater sediments. Based on a combination of diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) passive sampling and modelling, specifically the DGT-induced fluxes in sediments (DIFS) model and fractions-transfer models, an uptake and diffusion-induced model was established ...

ReaxFF molecular dynamics (ReaxFF-MD) simulations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ²⁹Si NMR were used to investigate the temperature-dependent pyrolysis gas release behavior, dynamic evolution of microstructure, and fundamental carbonization mechanism of silicon-modified phenolic resin (SiPR). An improved a ...
... To improve the sustainable antibacterial active of nisin, nisin-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS-nisin) nanogels (CN NGs) are prepared via a combination method of electrostatic self-assembly and chemical cross-linking. The as-prepared CN NGs are profiled using dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray ph ...
... In this paper, we explored how to more accurately predict the quality of high-frequency links and how to better research and improve the capabilities of high-frequency communication, reconnaissance, and positioning systems. Based on the background electron density generated by the ionospheric assimilation model and 3D ray-tracing technology, more realistic and accurate high-frequency channel param ...
... The article is devoted to issues related to the propagation and transformation of vortexes in the optical range of frequency. Within the framework of the traditional and modified model of slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA), the process of converting vortex beams of the optical domain into vortex beams of the terahertz radio range based on nonlinear generation of a difference frequency in ...
... High-concentration solid-liquid two-phase flow causes particle erosion or accumulation at the sudden change positions of flow channels, resulting in pipe leakage and tool failure. In existing CFD-DEM methods, since the particle time sub steps cannot be infinitely small, local high-speed particles may penetrate each other. In the current study, the CFD-DEM method is optimized by adding the judgment ...

Abstract:
... The inversion of hydrogeological parameters is an essential step of groundwater numerical simulation. A simulation-optimization method is an effective method to solve the hydrogeological parameters inversion problem. However, in the process of simulation-optimization, the groundwater numerical simulation model will be utilized thousands of times, which results in a large computational burden. To o ...
... The fiber arrangement of a sliver has a significant impact on its quality, especially for the sliver evenness. In this work, an innovative computer simulation model based on fiber arrangement with fiber separation degree was rationally proposed in order to enhance simulation accuracy. The as-proposed model could be applied in simulating the arrangement of fiber assembles and separated fibers in th ...

Abstract:
... Organometallic halide perovskites have drawn tremendous attention for their remarkable photovoltaic properties. We report anion modification for improving annealing-free electrochemical deposition of perovskites under an ambient atmosphere and extending the applications. Relevant theoretical simulation based on the Butler–Volmer functions reveals the mechanism behind: introduced anions raise the e ...

Abstract:
... The filling conditions and pipeline characteristics of the aircraft fire extinguishing system determine the pressure of the fire extinguishing cylinder outlet, the discharge quality of the extinguishing agent, and the flow distribution during the discharge process. The simulation model of the fire extinguishing system pipeline of an aircraft was established by Amesim. The influence of filling cond ...
... The flow and dispersion characteristics of the fire extinguishing agent in the pipings and the concentration distribution in the nacelle are essential for optimizing the aircraft fire extinguishing system. In the present work, we developed a three-dimensional CFD model to simulate the transport and dispersion of the agent in piping and nacelle. The results show that the length and structure of the ...
... Fall accidents from windows usually start indoors, so it is impossible to secure witnesses or video clips of the initial fall situation, and there are difficulties such as a complicated fall process, but related studies are rare. In this study, the types of window fall accidents are classified, and behavior characteristics are analyzed through multibody simulation analysis based on the initial fal ...

Abstract:
... The coevolution of predators and prey has been the subject of much empirical and theoretical research that produced intriguing insights into the interplay of ecology and evolution. To allow for mathematical analysis, models of predator–prey coevolution are often coarse-grained, focussing on population-level processes and largely neglecting individual-level behaviour. As selection is acting on indi ...
... We develop a hydro-chemical model to simulate incipient karst generation in three-dimensional (3D) jointed layered carbonates. The discrete fracture networks consist of fractures that are represented by two-dimensional (2D) planes. The numerical model couples the important physical processes of fluid flow, reactive transport, and dissolutional growth of fracture aperture. We represent the typical ...

Circular manufacturing systems (CMS) constitute complex value networks comprising a large and diverse set of stakeholders that collaborate to close the loop of products through multiple lifecycles. Complex systems modelling and simulation play a crucial role in providing quantitative and qualitative insights into the behaviour of such systems. In particular, multi-method simulation modelling that ...
