Traditional tools such as Gantt charts, CPM, and PERT often overlook uncertainties. This study identifies 20 complexity factors through expert interviews and literature, categorising them into six groups. The Analytical Hierarchy Process evaluated the significance of different factors, establishing their corresponding weights to enhance adaptive project scheduling. A system dynamics (SD) model is developed and tested to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of identified complexity factors. The model simulates the impact of complexity on total project duration (TPD), revealing significant deviations from initial deterministic estimates. Data collection and analysis for reliability tests, including normality and Cronbach alpha, to validate the model’s components and expert feedback. Sensitivity analysis confirmed a positive relationship between complexity and project duration, with higher complexity levels resulting in increased TPD. This relationship highlights the inadequacy of static planning approaches and underscores the importance of addressing complexity dynamically. The study provides a framework for enhancing planning systems through system dynamics and recommends expanding the model to ensure broader applicability in diverse construction projects.展开更多

It proposes that e...Complex Field Theory (CFT) proposes that dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) are pervasive, complex fields of charged complex masses of equally positive and negative complex charges, respectively. It proposes that each material object, including living creatures, is concomitant with a fraction of the charged complex masses of DM and DE in proportion to its mass. This perception provides new insights into the physics of nature and its constituents from subatomic to cosmic scales. This complex nature of DM and DE explains our inability to see DM or harvest DE for the last several decades. The positive complex DM is responsible for preserving the integrity of galaxies and all material systems. The negative complex charged DE induces a positive repelling force with the positively charged DM and contributes to the universe’s expansion. Both fields are Lorentz invariants in all directions and entangle the whole universe. The paper uses CFT to investigate zero-point energy, particle-wave duality, relativistic mass increase, and entanglement phenomenon and unifies Coulomb’s and Newton’s laws. The paper also verifies the existence of tachyons and explains the spooky action of quantum mechanics at a distance. The paper encourages further research into how CFT might resolve several physical mysteries in physics.展开更多

Based on multi-structure elements of gray mathematics morphology, in the light of difference between noise and edge shape of RS images, the paper establishes multi-structure elements to detect edge by utilizing the grey form transformation principle. Compared with some classical edge detection operators, such as Sobel Edge Detection Operator, LOG Edge Detection Operator, and Canny Edge Detection Operator, the experiment indicates that this new algorithm possesses very good edge detection ability, which can detect edges more effectively, but its noise-resisting ability is relatively low. Because of the bigger noise & remote sensing image, the authors probe into putting forward other edge detection method based on combination of wavelet directivity checkout technology and small-scale Mathematical Morphology finally. So, position at the edge can be accurately located, the noise can be inhibited to a certain extent and the effect of edge detection is obvious.展开更多

文摘Complex Field Theory (CFT) proposes that dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) are pervasive, complex fields of charged complex masses of equally positive and negative complex charges, respectively. It proposes that each material object, including living creatures, is concomitant with a fraction of the charged complex masses of DM and DE in proportion to its mass. This perception provides new insights into the physics of nature and its constituents from subatomic to cosmic scales. This complex nature of DM and DE explains our inability to see DM or harvest DE for the last several decades. The positive complex DM is responsible for preserving the integrity of galaxies and all material systems. The negative complex charged DE induces a positive repelling force with the positively charged DM and contributes to the universe’s expansion. Both fields are Lorentz invariants in all directions and entangle the whole universe. The paper uses CFT to investigate zero-point energy, particle-wave duality, relativistic mass increase, and entanglement phenomenon and unifies Coulomb’s and Newton’s laws. The paper also verifies the existence of tachyons and explains the spooky action of quantum mechanics at a distance. The paper encourages further research into how CFT might resolve several physical mysteries in physics.

文摘Independent cascade(IC)models,by simulating how one node can activate another,are important tools for studying the dynamics of information spreading in complex networks.However,traditional algorithms for the IC model implementation face significant efficiency bottlenecks when dealing with large-scale networks and multi-round simulations.To settle this problem,this study introduces a GPU-based parallel independent cascade(GPIC)algorithm,featuring an optimized representation of the network data structure and parallel task scheduling strategies.Specifically,for this GPIC algorithm,we propose a network data structure tailored for GPU processing,thereby enhancing the computational efficiency and the scalability of the IC model.In addition,we design a parallel framework that utilizes the full potential of GPU's parallel processing capabilities,thereby augmenting the computational efficiency.The results from our simulation experiments demonstrate that GPIC not only preserves accuracy but also significantly boosts efficiency,achieving a speedup factor of 129 when compared to the baseline IC method.Our experiments also reveal that when using GPIC for the independent cascade simulation,100-200 simulation rounds are sufficient for higher-cost studies,while high precision studies benefit from 500 rounds to ensure reliable results,providing empirical guidance for applying this new algorithm to practical research.

文摘The adsorption of phosphate was conducted by the complex of chitosan/polyacrylamide/ferric(CS/PAM/Fe(Ⅲ))prepared.The SEM images and XPS spectra confirmed the successful adsorption of phosphate.The adsorption process was studied by varying the influencing aspects like pH,co-existing ions,contact time,and initial phosphate concentration.The experimental results indicate that the adsorptive capacity decreases with the increase of pH.However,it is commendable that there is still a adsorption capacity of more than 5 mg/g when the pH is 8-11.The adsorption kinetics can be accurately described by the pseudo-second-order model and is controlled by both chemisorption and surface diffusion.The adsorption process is a single layer adsorption.This paper proposed that the adsorption mechanism of CS/PAM/Fe(Ⅲ)complex is the joint action of electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange.
文摘The flexible satellite batch production line is a complex discrete production system with multiple cross-disciplinary fields and mixed serial parallel tasks.As the source of the satellite batch production line process,the warehousing system has urgent needs such as uncertain production scale and rapid iteration and optimization of business processes.Therefore,the requirements and architecture of complex discrete warehousing systems such as flexible satellite batch production lines are studied.The physical system of intelligent equipment is abstracted as a digital model to form the underlying module,and a digital fusion framework of“business domain+middleware platform+intelligent equipment information model”is constructed.The granularity of microservice splitting is calculated based on the dynamic correlation relationship between user access instances and database table structures.The general warehousing functions of the platform are divided to achieve module customization,addition,and configuration.An open discrete warehousing system based on microservices is designed.Software architecture and design develop complex discrete warehousing systems based on the SpringCloud framework.This architecture achieves the decoupling of business logic and physical hardware,enhances the maintainability and scalability of the system,and greatly improves the system’s adaptability to different complex discrete warehousing business scenarios.

文摘Exploring the spatial evolution patterns of land use in creative urban tourism complexes provides theoretical and decision-making support to foster creative tourism projects.This study focuses on the Hangzhou Leisure Expo Garden as a case study,utilizing a land use change index model to analyze the spatial evolution characteristics and dynamic processes of creative urban tourism complexes,as well as to explore their spatial differentiation mechanisms.The analysis indicates that Hangzhou Leisure Expo Garden,initially a derelict industrial area dominated by production and residential land use,has evolved into a creative urban tourism complex with tourism comprehensive service land at its core,going through the pattern evolution processes of“constrained sprawl,”“intensive expansion,”and“random integration.”From the perspective of tourism human-land relationships,the formation of land use evolution patterns in creative urban tourism complexes results from various stakeholders(government,tourism enterprises,residents,tourists,etc.),as humanistic factors,continuously adapting to specific urban spaces,which are considered as geographical elements and have locational advantages and are oriented towards economic and social values.Based on the acquisition of stakeholder interests,the transformation of resource-disadvantaged areas into tourism advantage areas is facilitated,thereby achieving the re-creation of tourism creative space and promoting intensive spatial growth.
文摘This paper develops a comprehensive computational modeling and simulation framework based on Complex Adaptive Systems(CAS)theory to unveil the underlying mechanisms of self-organization,nonlinear evolution,and emergence in social systems.By integrating mathematical models,agent-based modeling,network dynamic analysis,and hybrid modeling approaches,the study applies CAS theory to case studies in economic markets,political decision-making,and social interactions.The experimental results demonstrate that local interactions among individual agents can give rise to complex global phenomena,such as market fluctuations,opinion polarization,and sudden outbreaks of social movements.This framework not only provides a more robust explanation for the nonlinear dynamics and abrupt transitions that traditional models often fail to capture,but also offers valuable decision-support tools for public policy formulation,social governance,and risk management.Emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches,this work outlines future research directions in high-performance computing,artificial intelligence,and real-time data integration to further advance the theoretical and practical applications of CAS in the social sciences.

文摘This paper puts forward an effective, specific algorithm for edge detection. Based on multi-structure elements of gray mathematics morphology, in the light of difference between noise and edge shape of RS images, the paper establishes multi-structure elements to detect edge by utilizing the grey form transformation principle. Compared with some classical edge detection operators, such as Sobel Edge Detection Operator, LOG Edge Detection Operator, and Canny Edge Detection Operator, the experiment indicates that this new algorithm possesses very good edge detection ability, which can detect edges more effectively, but its noise-resisting ability is relatively low. Because of the bigger noise & remote sensing image, the authors probe into putting forward other edge detection method based on combination of wavelet directivity checkout technology and small-scale Mathematical Morphology finally. So, position at the edge can be accurately located, the noise can be inhibited to a certain extent and the effect of edge detection is obvious.

文摘A new pore type,nano-scale organo-clay complex pore-fracture was first discovered based on argon ion polishing-field emission scanning electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction by focused ion-scanning electron in combination with analysis of TOC,R_(o)values,X-ray diffraction etc.in the Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation shale in the Songliao Basin,NE China.Such pore characteristics and evolution study show that:(1)Organo-clay complex pore-fractures are developed in the shale matrix and in the form of spongy and reticular aggregates.Different from circular or oval organic pores discovered in other shales,a single organo-clay complex pore is square,rectangular,rhombic or slaty,with the pore diameter generally less than 200 nm.(2)With thermal maturity increasing,the elements(C,Si,Al,O,Mg,Fe,etc.)in organo-clay complex change accordingly,showing that organic matter shrinkage due to hydrocarbon generation and clay mineral transformation both affect organo-clay complex pore-fracture formation.(3)At high thermal maturity,the Qingshankou Formation shale is dominated by nano-scale organo-clay complex pore-fractures with the percentage reaching more than 70%of total pore space.The spatial connectivity of organo-clay complex pore-fractures is significantly better than that of organic pores.It is suggested that organo-complex pore-fractures are the main pore space of laminar shale at high thermal maturity and are the main oil and gas accumulation space in the core area of continental shale oil.The discovery of nano-scale organo-clay complex pore-fractures changes the conventional view that inorganic pores are the main reservoir space and has scientific significance for the study of shale oil formation and accumulation laws.
