Exploring symbolism in Hu Ru Gui by Malaysian Chinese writer Dai Xiaohua among Chinese tertiary students by Shi Shao Hua, Revathi Gopal

“…This paper discusses the spiritual bloodline themes in the form of symbolism which runs through the whole literature work. The themes range from attitudes towards life and death, the national ridge of defending the motherland’s dignity, and the patriotic values internalized deeply from generation to generation beyond time, location, and culture. …”

Assessing species interactions using integrated predator-prey models by Paquet, Matthieu, Barraquand, Frédéric

“…However, there is no evaluation of such models when interactions are actually absent---while any interaction inference method runs the risk of producing false positives. We investigate here whether multispecies IPMs could output interactions where there are in fact none, building on an existing predator-prey IPM. …”

Improving energy efficiency for fishing vessels using two-pitch propellers by Co Tan Anh Vu, Phan Van Hung, Dang Dinh Chien, Vu Dang Thai, Pham Ky Quang

“…In this study, a two-pitch propeller model was proposed, considering the operating characteristics of offshore fishing vessels with two stages: the free-running and the trawling stage. The hydrodynamic features of the fixed propeller and the propeller’s two pitches were analyzed using the numerical approach with a diameter of 1 m; a speed of 629 rpm; expanded area ratio of 0.5. …”

A data-driven state identification method for intelligent control of the joint station export system by Guangli Xu, Yifu Wang, Zhihao Zhou, Yifeng Lu, Liangxue Cai

“…Abstract As a necessary part of intelligent control of a joint station, the automatic identification of abnormal conditions and automatic adjustment of operation schemes need to judge the running state of the system. In this paper, a combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gray Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is proposed to optimize the Backpropagation Neural Network (BP) model (PSO-GWO-BP) and a pressure drop prediction model for the joint station export system is established using PSO-GWO-BP. …”
