The widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming an imminent trend. Research has been done on the scheduling of EVs from the perspective of the charging characteristic, improvement in the safety and economy of the power grid, or the traffic jams in the transport system caused by a large number of EVs driven to charging stations. There is a lack of systematic studies considering EVs, the power grid, and the transport system all together. In this paper, a novel optimal charging scheduling strategy for different types of EVs is proposed based on not only transport system information, such as road length, vehicle velocity and waiting time, but also grid system information, such as load deviation and node voltage. In addition, a charging scheduling simulation platform suitable for large-scale EV deployment is developed based on actual charging scenarios. The simulation results show that the improvements in both the transport system efficiency and the grid system operation can be obtained by using the optimal strategy, such as the node voltage drop is decreased, the power loss is reduced, and the load curve is optimized.

Exploring the Corrosion Behavior of Low-Ni Cu-P-Cr-Ni Weathering Steel with Different P Contents in a Simulated Atmospheric Environment

Ning Zhang, Zhiwei Lian, Weichen Zhang, Bo He, Xuewen Hu, Tao Zhu, Bo Jiang

Summary: The corrosion resistance and influence mechanism of P in low-Ni Cu-P-Cr-Ni weathering steels were analyzed. The results showed that the addition of P improved the corrosion current density and promoted the rapid formation of a rust layer. Cu and Cr enrichment further protected the steel matrix. After long-term wet/dry cyclic corrosion tests, the P content did not significantly affect the corrosion resistance of weathering steels. Therefore, the P content can be reduced to reduce cold brittleness.

Summary: This review focuses on the research progress of millimeter- and micron-scale small specimen test techniques (SSTTs) for metallic materials over the past decade. The mainstream small specimens are divided into similarity, penetration, and semi-penetration methods, and representative tests such as small tensile test, small punch test, and indentation test are analyzed in detail. The correlations between SSTTs and conventional tests are discussed, along with the requirements for material testing. In addition, the characteristics and modification strategies of SSTTs are described, and their applications in forging, stamping, welding, and additive manufacturing are explored.

Experimental study of single-shot polarization dynamics of dual dissipative solitons

Yu Long, Qiang Wu, Zhenghu Chang, Ai Liu, Yuanjie Yu, Lei Gao, Tao Zhu

Summary: We characterize the single-shot polarization evolution of dual dissipative solitons in an erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked with carbon nanotubes using a high-speed wave-resolved measurement technique. The coupling between the orthogonal components of the vector soliton has a great influence on its physical properties, leading to various physical images. We observe typical polarization-locked vector solitons and polarization attractors in the dual soliton pulses, and identify three kinds of two solitons pulses with distinct relative phase evolutions.

Spinal astrocytic MeCP2 regulates Kir4.1 for the maintenance of chronic hyperalgesia in neuropathic pain

Mengchan Ou, Yali Chen, Jin Liu, Donghang Zhang, Yaoxin Yang, Jiefei Shen, Changhong Miao, Shao-Jun Tang, Xin Liu, Daniel K. Mulkey, Tao Zhu, Cheng Zhou

Summary: Astrocyte activation in the spinal dorsal horn may contribute to chronic neuropathic pain. The Kir4.1 channel in astrocytes is important for pain regulation, but its regulation and role in behavioral hyperalgesia remain unclear. This study found that Kir4.1 expression was decreased in spinal astrocytes after chronic constriction injury, and conditional knockout of Kir4.1 led to hyperalgesia while overexpression relieved pain. Kir4.1 expression was regulated by MeCP2. Knockdown of Kir4.1 increased astrocyte excitability and altered neuronal firing patterns in the spinal cord. Targeting spinal Kir4.1 could be a therapeutic approach for hyperalgesia in chronic neuropathic pain.

Summary: Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction plays a crucial role in industrial equipment operation and maintenance. A new dual-thread gated recurrent unit (DTGRU) is proposed to enhance the predictive ability for complex degradation trajectories by mining stationary and nonstationary information. The DTGRU-based RUL prediction approach is validated using gear vibration signals and a degradation-trend-constrained variational autoencoder. Experimental results demonstrate that DTGRU outperforms existing typical prediction methods in terms of fitting precision and RUL prediction performance.

A novel prediction method of fuel consumption for wing-diesel hybrid vessels based on feature construction

Zhang Ruan, Lianzhong Huang, Kai Wang, Ranqi Ma, Zhongyi Wang, Rui Zhang, Haoyang Zhao, Cong Wang

Summary: This paper proposes a grey box model for fuel consumption prediction of wing-diesel hybrid vessels based on feature construction. By using both parallel and series grey box modeling methods and six machine learning algorithms, twelve combinations of prediction models are established. A feature construction method based on the aerodynamic performance of the wing and the energy relationship of the hybrid system is introduced. The best combination is obtained by considering the root mean square error, and it shows improved accuracy compared to the white box model. The proposed grey box model can accurately predict the daily fuel consumption of wing-diesel hybrid vessels, contributing to operational optimization and the greenization and decarbonization of the shipping industry.
