Heterogeneous distributed problem-solving involving visual objects as boundary objects

Communication involving visualizations in science and applications involves or even requires coordination. Much visualization research focuses on tasks in research or applications and provides valuable insights that help improve these modes and means of communication. That focus and resulting benefits makes a reduction to tasks or defined goals seem amenable for a more thorough consideration of social and cultural aspects. This contribution to the focus topic Insights in Visual Communication suggests that the boundary object concept can greatly help deepen considerations of social and cultural heterogeneity and adds insights and perspectives to better consider social and cultural aspects of visual communication. The theoretical concept of boundary objects, originating in heterogeneous distributed problem solving research, offer a pragmatic basis for enhancing visual communication to improve meaning production. The overarching issue for developing this direction in visual communication can be formulated through a broad question: In heterogeneous situations, how can research enhance communication involving visual objects for problem solving through a consideration of social and cultural aspects? I consider an example of cooperative design of maps to show how research can benefit from a consideration of boundary objects. The example highlights a cooperative mode of visual communication used in decision making involving both explicit and implicit goals and aspects from a cognitive perspective. The potential for improvements and better solutions in visual communication can benefit from a stronger consideration of the boundary objects concept.

Cooperation for trans-regional electricity trading from the perspective of carbon quota: A cooperative game approach

Trans-regional electricity trading is a meaningful way to optimize resource allocation and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. In this paper, we construct the trans-regional electricity trading cooperative game models considering the impact of local microgrid integration. Based on the cooperative game theory with coalition and graph structures, the optimal mode of trans-regional electricity cooperation and the impact of different carbon quota systems on cooperation profits are studied. The profits obtained through the trans-regional electricity trading are reasonably distributed by the profit distribution scheme based on the Owen graph value. The theoretical and numerical simulation results demonstrate that the local microgrid and the bulk power grid form a priori union, and then participate in the trans-regional electricity trading can obtain more profits. In addition, when the low-carbon policy on the demand side of electricity becomes more relaxed, the implementation of a carbon quota shared responsibility between producers and consumers will be more effective than producer responsibility. Compared with the Myerson value, the profit distribution scheme based on the Owen graph value is more suitable for distributing the profits obtained through trans-regional electricity trading.

Research on military-civilian collaborative innovation of science and technology based on a stochastic differential game model.

The construction of an integrated national strategic system and capability is an essential goal of implementing the strategy of military-civilian integration in the contemporary era. And the collaborative innovation of military-civilian S&T is an inevitable choice to achieve this goal. Due to the dynamic, complex, and stochastic characteristics of military-civilian S&T collaborative innovation, the level of S&T innovation is highly volatile. This paper takes the internal and external stochastic disturbance factors of military-civilian S&T collaborative innovation as the perspective, studies the strategy selection problem of military-civilian S&T collaborative innovation under military domination, constructs a differential game model to explore the innovation strategies under the non-cooperative model without military subsidies, the non-cooperative model with military subsidies, and the collaborative model. Finally, we use numerical experiments to verify the validity of the conclusions. The study shows that: (1) Within a reasonable range of values of the benefit distribution coefficient, the system can achieve the Pareto optimum, and the collaborative model is conducive to improving the S&T innovation level and the optimum benefit level of the system. (2) Military subsidies can increase the benefits of the system and the parties involved to achieve Pareto improvement. (3) The level of S&T innovation under the collaborative model has dynamic evolutionary characteristics of maximum expectation and variance. As the intensity of disturbance increases, the stability of the system may be destroyed. Risk-averse civil enterprises prefer the cooperative mode, whereas risk-averse civil enterprises prefer the non-cooperative model.

Fractures overseen: soviet medical experts splitting from the international epistemic community during the interwar period

ABSTRACT Soviet medical science went through a deep and systematic transformation. Initiated in the very early days of the Communist regime, a moment of disrupting and isolating impact uprooted it from its former organizational and epistemic foundations and re-adjusted the expert output and modus operandi to state needs. Professional identities, paradigmatic approaches and everyday practices resulting from these were transformed and forcibly aligned with the expectations of the new powerholders, aligned with the newly formulated party-bound loyalties and secured by the broad array of severe sanctions. This article systematically approaches the dark side of the Soviet interwar transformation in medicine with a special focus on a sample of psychiatric experts. The paper analyses the entanglement between domestic pressures exercised upon scholars by the emerging totalitarianism, forcing them to detach and considerably re-adjust their international ties, while nonetheless trying to remain a part of this cross-border epistemic community. While international contacts did not cease entirely, their expanse, intensity and the very mode of cooperation had to change dramatically so as to fit the new regime´s vision upon medicine. International networks were re-appropriated for the sake of promoting the success of the Communist state, with scholars functioning as involuntary ambassadors of the regime. Though perfectly compatible with the practices and outputs of their fellow experts elsewhere across the globe while exposed to the permanent pressure of political terror at home, Soviet public health and its experts became deeply transformed and detached in manifold ways from their peers and their medical science. Largely overlooked, the early fractures of the interwar period carry on into the Cold War-influenced second half of the twentieth century.

Cooperative Operation of Distributed Energy Resources and Thermal Power Plant With a Carbon-Capture-Utilization-and-Storage System

Carbon-capture-utilization-and-storage (CCUS) system plays a critical role in the process of decarbonization. This paper proposes a cooperative operation model for a CCUS-based thermal power plant and distributed energy resources. The critical purpose is to achieve a higher profit and flexibility together with a lower carbon emission for the CCUS system under the electricity, carbon, ancillary services, and synthesis fuel markets. First, to enhance the operational flexibility in various markets, a critical focus of this paper is on elaborating feasible operation domain of the CCUS system through identifying the physicochemical processes associated with carbon dioxide (CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ) treatment and multi-energy conversion. Second, a Nash-bargaining framework is developed to describe how the CCUS works with distributed energy resources cooperatively to consume cheap and clean renewables to treat CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> . Third, to solve the cooperative operation problem efficiently and accurately, an adaptive sequential cone programming (ASCP) method together with a progressive hedging variant of the Benders decomposition (PH-BD) algorithm are designed. Case studies indicate the total revenue of the thermal power plant under the cooperative mode is improved by up to 8.85% and 66.53% compared with the individual mode with and without the CCUS. Further, the solution quality and efficiency of proposed methods are verified.

Development of Sino-Russian legal service cooperation in the context of hindered Eurasian integration

Due to the continuation of special military operations, the original mode of competition and cooperation in Central Asia has changed. The process of Eurasian integration has fallen into a temporary low tide, and the “Belt and Road” strategy has also been impacted. China and Russia have established a highly friendly comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era, and have maintained long-term high-level cooperation in various fields. Against the backdrop of the overall downturn in the world economy, bilateral trade has grown. In the face of Western sanctions, the economic and trade cooperation between Russia and European countries has gradually decreased, which will inevitably lead to the deepening of exchanges between Russia and China in the field. Whether the high-quality development of economic and trade cooperation or the docking and landing of long-term strategies, it is inseparable from the escort of the law. The current China-Russia legal services have such problems as narrow coverage, lack of legal talents, lack of dispute resolution mechanism, etc. Such scattered and fragmented legal services obviously cannot meet the needs of the development of Sino-Russian trade, and it is also unable to make timely adjustment in the face of the impact of the drastic international situation. This paper will sort out the development context of China- Russia legal service. Based on the current situation of legal service cooperation, this paper will analyze the shortcomings exposed in this field in the face of the drastic international situation, and put forward suggestions for the transformation and development of China-Russia legal service cooperation.

Distributed Model Predictive Consensus Control for Stable Operation of Integrated Energy System

The stable operation of the integrated energy system (IES) is affected by the fluctuation of heat or electricity loads, energy or communication problems, and the interaction of different energy networks. To overcome above challenges, firstly, the integrated dynamic models with three-time scales are established for control design, fully considering dynamic behaviors, energy coupling, and constraints of power flow including electrical, heat and gas on network stability. Then, a novel distributed model predictive control (DMPC) consensus algorithm with process control and trajectory control is proposed to achieve stable operation for IES based on second-order cone programming (SOCP). A unified distributed cooperative control mode is formed in IES by implementing the proposed stability control method, which is suitable for different forms of energy. The control design takes into account the different dynamic characteristics of energy equipment and the energy coupling feature, which realizes the multi-scale time cooperation and dynamic process control for IES by tuning the control parameters. The optimal solution is obtained by rolling optimization for achieving frequency/voltage/temperature/pressure/flow regulation and consensus objectives. Finally, the proposed model and method are validated in various simulation scenarios, such as load variation, energy flow variation, nodes removed, and topology change.

A Study on the Application of Social Network Analysis Based Approach in the Optimization of Cultural Communication Paths and Efficiency

Abstract The optimization of cultural communication paths is an important part of Chinese culture’s continued dialogue with the world in the face of increasingly fierce international competition. In this paper, we use social network analysis to collect relevant data on the microblogging platform and analyze the overall network structure of “The Belt and Road Initiative” using network density, network distance, and clustering coefficients. Using social network analysis metrics, we calculate the node position of the network path of “The Belt and Road Initiative” and analyze the influence of each microblog account. We filter the cultural communication topics of “The Belt and Road Initiative”, scrutinize the participating regions, and establish the characteristics of the cooperation mode within this cultural communication. “The Belt and Road Initiative” has a network density of 0.247, 0.281, and 0.295, respectively, which indicates that the network density of these three topics is small and there is less information exchange, but the cohesive force of cultural communication is stronger. “People’s Daily,” “Central Committee of the Communist Youth League,” and “Phoenix Video” have high intermediary centrality (712.256, 700.425, and 695.253, respectively). The high intermediary centrality indicates that these nodes have a great influence on the flow of resources in the information dissemination network and can accelerate the efficiency of the “Belt and Road Initiative” cultural dissemination path.

The study of Chinese classical poetry in Russia dates back several centuries, it is original, has its own bright, distinctive features, no matter in the period of Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, or contemporary Russia, it always occupies a unique position in the world’s sinology field. In this article, the spread of Chinese classical poetry in Russia is systematically considered from such aspects as the interaction of translators and researchers, translations and works about poets, writers and their works, as well as translation principles and various aspects of research, originality, models of cooperation. This article points out that the study of Chinese classical poetry in Russia attaches great importance to translation, to the exploration of translation principles from the perspectives of rhyme, rhythm, form, paragraphs, tasks, and readers, to the combination of translation, annotation, and research, to the construction of academic terms, and the cooperative mode of poetry translation between Russian sinologists and poets. The paper notes that there are two important goals for Russia and Russian science in translating and researching Chinese classical poetry: firstly, they can serve to enrich national literature and write the history of Russian literature too; secondly, they can be used to introduce Chinese poetry into the context of the development of Russian and world culture. Russian translators and Sinologists-researchers will continue to contribute to the spreading of Chinese poetry and make it a part of world literature.

Exploring Inter-Brain Electroencephalogram Patterns for Social Cognitive Assessment During Jigsaw Puzzle Solving.

Social interaction enables the smooth progression of our daily lives. Mounting evidence from recent hyperscanning neuroimaging studies indicates that key components of social behavior can be evaluated using inter-brain oscillations and connectivity. However, mapping out inter-brain networks and developing neurocognitive theories that explain how humans co-create and share information during social interaction remains challenging. In this study, we developed a jigsaw puzzle-solving game with hyperscanning electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded to investigate inter-brain activities during social interactions involving cooperation and competition. Participants were recruited and paired into dyads to participate in the multiplayer jigsaw puzzle game with 32-channel EEG signals recorded. The corresponding event-related potentials (ERPs), brain oscillations, and inter-brain functional connectivity were analyzed. The results showed different ERP morphologies of P3 patterns in competitive and cooperative contexts, and brain oscillations in the low-frequency band may be an indicator of social cognitive activities. Furthermore, increased inter-brain functional connectivity in the delta, theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands was observed in the competition mode compared to the cooperation mode. By presenting comparable and valid hyperscanning EEG results alongside those of previous studies using traditional paradigms, this study demonstrates the potential of utilizing hyperscanning techniques in real-life game-playing scenarios to quantitatively assess social cognitive interactions involving cooperation and competition. Our approach offers a promising platform with potential applications in the flexible assessment of psychiatric disorders related to social functioning.

Cooperative trucks and drones for rural last-mile delivery with steep roads

The cooperative delivery of trucks and drones promises considerable advantages in delivery efficiency and environmental friendliness over pure fossil fuel fleets. As the prosperity of rural B2C e-commerce grows, this study intends to explore the prospect of this cooperation mode for rural last-mile delivery by developing a green vehicle routing problem with drones that considers the presence of steep roads (GVRPD-SR). Realistic energy consumption calculations for trucks and drones that both consider the impacts of general factors and steep roads are incorporated into the GVRPD-SR model, and the objective is to minimize the total energy consumption. To solve the proposed model, an improved adaptive large neighborhood search (IALNS) algorithm is introduced, which incorporates several novel operators designed based on the characteristics of the problem. The effectiveness of the IALNS algorithm and the feasibility of the GVRPD-SR are verified through extensive computational experiments. Furthermore, a detailed sensitivity analysis is conducted on several critical parameters to derive managerial insights.

What Are the Obstacles to Promoting Photovoltaic Green Roofs in Existing Buildings? The Integrated Fuzzy DEMATEL-ISM-ANP Method

Photovoltaic green roofs can contribute to energy conservation in buildings and the sustainable development of cities, but they have yet to be widely used due to many factors. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the factors limiting the promotion of photovoltaic green roofs and to clarify their interactions. Based on the existing literature and expert recommendations, this paper summarizes 20 factors affecting its promotion. Fuzzy DEMATEL was used to analyze the causal relationship and importance of the influencing factors. A hierarchical structure was established using the interpretative structural model (ISM) to visually represent the layered structure and pathways of the factors. The role and status of each influencing factor were determined using the cross-influence matrix analysis method (MICMAC). Finally, the analytic network process (ANP) was combined with the overall influence matrix to determine the overall weight of each factor. Combined with the DEMATEL-ISM-ANP method, nine key influencing factors, namely, the lack of incentive policies, imperfect technical specifications and evaluation standard system, local economic development level, residents’ cognition, residents’ willingness, enterprises’ technical problems, the lack of relevant talents, the lack of capital investment, and cooperation mode, were finally identified and analyzed, and suggestions and strategies for improvement were proposed.
