Adaptive-mutation Whale Optimization Algorithm for Flood Control Operation of Reservoir Groups by GONG Jintai, FENG Zhongkai, WANG Sen, JIA Wenhao

“…Flood control operation of reservoir groups is a complex nonlinear optimization problem involving multiple dimensions,variables,and stages,and plays a vital role in developing efficient and stable methods to enhance the overall flood control capacity of river basins.Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is an innovative evolutionary algorithm inspired by whale predation behaviors.However,when it is employed to solve flood control operation,problems of premature convergence and proneness to fall into local optimum will occur.To this end,this paper proposes an adaptive-mutation whale optimization algorithm (AWOA) for solving the flood control operation of reservoir groups.In AWOA,an enhanced chaotic strategy is adopted to ensure the dispersion and uniformity of the initial operation scheme.Secondly,a reverse oscillation mutation strategy is utilized to enhance the global search ability.Finally,an adaptive weight strategy is leveraged to realize local fine exploration.Classical test functions and typical operation scenarios in West River show that the proposed method has significant peak shaving effects under various scenarios.With a fast convergence rate and high search accuracy,AWOA provides a novel and practical method for solving the flood control operation of reservoir groups.…”

Education as Performative Contradiction: Limits (And Possibilities) of Subjectification in the Anthropocene by Audrius Pocius

“…It is divided into three parts: 1) following Chakrabarty, I identify the politico-aesthetic challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change and formulate their relevance as an educational ordeal; 2) I enquire about the challenges and possibilities for environmental education to foster societal change and conclude that, while a general policy change toward sustainable education may be insufficient, education remains a premier site where negotiations could take place between the deep-seated beliefs about subjectivity and an open anticipation of unforeseen modes of agency; 3) after providing a comparative analysis of classical humanist Bildung and post-humanist accounts of subjectification in education, I conclude that these approaches constitute a performative contradiction, which allows the experiential challenges of the Anthropocene to be approached in terms of a reimagined aesthetic education thematized as a critique of (human) capacity. …”

Vessel Navigation Behavior Analysis and Multiple-Trajectory Prediction Model Based on AIS Data by He Ma, Yi Zuo, Tieshan Li

“…First, we propose a novel method of trajectory feature representation that uses a hierarchical clustering algorithm to analyze and extract the vessel navigation behavior for multiple trajectories. Compared with the classic methods, e.g., Douglas–Peucker (DP) and least-squares cubic spline curve approximation (LCSCA) algorithms, the mean loss of trajectory features extracted by our method is approximately 0.005, and it is reduced by 50% and 30% compared to the DP and LCSCA algorithms, respectively. …”
