Modeling and simulation of pedestrian movement is a feasible and effective way to evaluate evacuation facilities and risk. Inspired by the visual field and movement characteristic of pedestrians, we developed a 2-D continuous model that integrates a self-slowing, local direction-changing mechanism, and visual hindrance information. The model allows for the movement in continuous space and time, only...
The impact of integrating large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) generation on the balancing requirements in terms of regulation and load-following requirements in the southern Nevada balancing area is evaluated. The “swinging door” algorithm and the “probability box” method developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were used to quantify the impact of large PV generation on the balancing...
Non-point source pollution has became a major water pollution source in Northeast China. A small typical agricultural watershed was selected to test the validity of the annualized agricultural non-point source (AnnAGNPS) model in Northeast China. The best available data were assembled in the analysis. The model validity was tested by nitrogen and phosphorus concentration data. A good correlation was...
We introduce a probabilistic framework for inferring contiguous ancestral regions. Our previous work, the inferCARs algorithm, is a method based on adjacencies between synteny blocks. However, the local parsimony procedure has the limitation that it ignores many adjacencies that are potentially possible to exist in the ancestors. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic method for reconstructing...
The paper presents a novel Multi-Resolution Model (MRM) of Logistics Location based on the theory of MultiResolution Modeling. Using MRM simulation thoughts, it points out the necessity of MRM of Logistics Location by analyzing the key technology of MRM. The paper develops a Decision Support System (DSS) with Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and spatial database based on Cost-Revenue model (C-R)...
Load modeling plays an important role in power system stability analysis and planning studies. The parameters of load models may experience variations in different application situations. Choosing appropriate parameters is critical for dynamic simulation and stability studies in power system. This paper presents a method to select the parameters with good generalization ability based on a given large...
