Causes and Consequences of Peri-Urban Land Conflicts in Ethiopia: The Case of Mekelle City by Araya Negash, Girma Birhanu

“…According to the research’s findings, overlapping legal and governance frameworks, a variety of property rights claims, local power dynamics, and self-serving individual interests are the main drivers of peri-urban land conflicts. Moreover, lowering tax revenue for the state or municipality, raising expenses, impeding investment, and causing conflict were the consequences of peri-urban land conflicts.…”

Saturation Height Modelling for Tight Sandstone Reservoirs with Gas Diffusion Dynamics Taken into Account by Zhou Lyu, Zhilun Yang, Yuhong Hao, Shunzhi Yang, Liqiong Wang, Sen Chang, Xiaomin Xue, Jing Li

“…Taking the study of the Sulige tight sandstone gas reservoir in China as an example, the saturation height model compares the controlling factors and uncertainties affecting the saturation distribution, characterizes the complex gas-water distribution, and determines the lower gas charging limits. This study concludes that the configuration between gas diffusion dynamics and reservoir capillary pressure controls the distribution of saturation. …”

Path planning algorithm for WCE with joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization by Zhenchun WEI, Renhao SUN, Zengwei LYU, Jianghong HAN, Lei SHI, Junyi XU

“…Considering limited energy of the wireless charging equipment (WCE) in wireless rechargeable sensor network,an energy replenishment strategy and a data collection strategy are designed.On the basis of these,a path planning model for WCE with functions of joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization is constructed with two optimization objectives,maximizing the total energy utility of WCE and minimizing the average delay of data transmission of all the sensor nodes in the network.To deal with it,a multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm based on elitist strategy was proposed,where the state transition strategy and the pheromone updating strategy were improved.Then,the Pareto set was obtained in terms of this multi-objective optimization problem.The parameter setting of ant colony algorithm’s effects on the proposed algorithm were analyzed under 20 sensor nodes.50 groups of contrastive experiments show that the average number of energy utilization obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 4.53% higher than that of NSGA-II algorithm.The average number of average delay of all node data transmission obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 5.12% lower than that of NSGA-II algorithm.…”

Study on Void Structure Reconstruction of Asphalt Mixture by X-Ray Computed Tomography and Otsu’s Method by Jiantong Zhang, Jun Yang, Tiejun Liu, Rongxing Cai, Rui Yang

“…The image processing results showed that air void distribution was not uniform in the specimens; higher air void concentrations were found at the top and bottom of the specimen, and lower, in the rest of the sample depth. The air void sizes of SUP13 and AC13 are mainly distributed between 0.15 to 0.2 mm, while PA13 and SMA13 are 0.4 to 0.65 mm and 0.4 to 0.7 mm, respectively. …”
