Abstract:The two-floor flow passages pumping system with the simple structure is well practical in the Basin of Yangzi River downstream. However, this kind of pumping system has some disadvantages, such as low efficiency, easy to appear submerse vortex in discharge flow passages which causes the unit vibration and does harm to the operating of pump unit. In order to solve these problems, the design scheme with a new curve of diffusing outlet structure and inlet cone put forward, which are used in the renovation of the two-floor flow passages pumping station. With the numerical simulation of the two-floor flow passages pumping system, the flow fields are analyzed, and the external performance curves are obtained. To verify the calculation, a model tests were done using the standard model of pump?The test results are compared with the performance curves of numerical simulation. Good agreement of two results is found in the high efficiency area, which can show the calculation is believable. The new design improves the efficiency of pumping system significantly and eliminates the submerse vortex, also can guarantees the economy and security of operating. Copyright © 2010 by ASME.

Abstract:Based on the principle of variable structure control, an improved adaptive control scheme is proposed for a class of more general uncertain MIMO nonlinear time-varying delay systems with unknown disturbances and nonlinear dead-zones. Neural networks are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions in the design. The unknown time-varying delay uncertainties are compensated for using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. The restrictions of the control gains are relaxed by utilizing the quadratic-type Lyapunov functions. Only one adaptive parameter needs to be adjusted in each subsystem, and the complexity of control algorithm is reduced. It is proved that the proposed design method is able to guarantee semi-global uniform ultimate boundness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2010 Binary Information Press.

Abstract:Large-scale irrigation district is the main force of Chinese grain production and becomes the major part of water consumers on agriculture water, which makes it very important for the irrigation management to pay attention to the study on the water distribution optimization of irrigation district. According to the characteristics of large-scale plain and gravity irrigation district, this paper takes the largest irrigated area as the objective function in some type of hydrological year and uses four kinds of irrigation system which include continued irrigation, continued irrigation of main canals with hierarchical controls, rotation irrigation in segments and rotation irrigation in individuals to make scheme optimizations for wate.distribution program. Besides that this paper takes water level calculations for the main canals by using the steady non uniform flow model and gate-hole water flow mathematical model. Also it adopts experimental optimization method to carry out the scheme comparison among the opening degree of several control sluices in order to choose the optimal opening degree program. Taking Hongjin irrigation district in Jiangsu Province for example, this paper makes the simulation of scheme optimization whose result shows that the gravity irrigated area with best irrigation scheme is about 25% larger than with the worst one.

Abstract:Due to the lack of processing capacity in workshop, we need to outsource productive tasks to our partners. In this paper, an integrated model of collaborative planning and scheduling with tasks dividable is established, which aims to reach the target of minimum sum with collaborative fee and processing cost. Because of the necessary in synchronous decision-making with continuous and discrete problems that mixed together, a novel hybrid evolutionary algorithm is presented. An integrated encoding scheme with collaborative planning encoding and scheduling encoding in one chromosome is designed for the algorithm, which uses differential evolution algorithm for continuous optimization, and genetic algorithm for discrete optimization. As a result, we obtain collaborative optimization in the two phases of production planning and scheduling. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an effective method to solve the integrated problem of collaborative planning and scheduling. © 2010 Binary Information Press.

Abstract:Encoding can express the hierarchical relationship in the area of mining the multi-level sequential pattern, up to now all the algorithms of which find frequent sequences just according to frequency, but items have different importance in the real applications, therefore the weight constraint involved to the entire mining process is crucial. The MWSP algorithm based on the candidate generation-and-test approach is one of the best algorithms of the weighted sequential pattern mining, however, which will easily generate the situation of candidate combinatorial explosion during the mining process. Therefore, this paper presents the algorithm PMWSM, which adopts prime encoding to decide the parent-child relationship between different levels by one step of division operation, introduces the concept of K-minimum weighted support count to push weight constraint into the multi-level sequential pattern mining, utilizes the principle of prefix projection database to avoid the occurrence of candidate combinatorial explosion, and takes full advantage of the minimum weighted support count to optimize the algorithm. The experimental results show that the algorithm PMWSM is more effective than the algorithm MWSP on mining multi-level weighted sequential patterns from the sequence database.
