Composition and Water Ecology Indication of Functional Feeding Groups of Zoobenthos in Liuxi River by CHEN Ci, ZHU Kunpeng, LIU Yue, LI Jiaxu, TAN Ying, WANG Lu

“…The Liuxi River is the most important river system in Guangzhou,and systematic monitoring and assessment provide basic information for the health management of the Liuxi River ecosystem.Field in-situ sampling of zoobenthos in the Liuxi River was conducted during the dry (March) and wet (September) seasons in 2019 to explore the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of functional feeding groups (FFGs) of zoobenthos,and the habitat conditions of the Liuxi River were assessed by the composition of the zoobenthos FFGs.The results show that the main group of zoobenthos in the Liuxi River Basin is collectors,followed by scrapers and predators,whereas filterers and shredders are rarely observed.The dominant groups at the sampling sites in the upper and middle reaches are moderate pollution tolerant collectors (Baetidae and Corbiculidae) and pollution tolerant collectors (Chironomidae),while the sampling sites in the lower reaches are overwhelmingly dominated by pollution tolerant collectors (Chironomidae).Environmental factors significantly affect the distribution of zoobenthos FFGs.Specifically,the key environmental factors in the dry season are velocity and NO₃,while those in the wet season are SiO₂ and velocity.The attributes of the Liuxi River ecosystem were analyzed on the basis of the composition of the zoobenthos FFGs.The results indicate that the ecosystems at most of the sampling sites in the Liuxi River are heterotrophic ones,and the riparian zone of this basin is not healthy.The longitudinal transport ability of the river is mostly in an unhealthy state.Predators' control effect is normal except at some sampling sites in the upper reaches.The basin maintains favorable habitat stability except at the sampling sites affected by sand dredging.…”

Fractional-Order Predictive Functional Control of Industrial Processes with Partial Actuator Failures by Min-Ying Li, Kang-Di Lu, Yu-Xing Dai, Guo-Qiang Zeng

“…The first one is the application of fractional-order calculus into the cost function of predictive functional control. Since the knowledge of analytical parameters including the prediction horizon, fractional-order parameter, and smoothing factor in fractional-order predictive functional control is not known, population extremal optimization is employed as the second key technique to search for these parameters. …”
