How much are electric vehicles driven?

The prospect for electric vehicles as a climate change solution hinges on their ability to reduce gasoline consumption. But this depends on how many miles electric vehicles are driven and on how many miles would have otherwise been driven in gasoline-powered vehicles. Using newly-available U.S. nationally representative data, this paper finds that electric vehicles are driven considerably fewer miles per year on average than gasoline-powered vehicles. The difference is highly statistically significant and holds for both all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, for both single- and multiple-vehicle households, and both inside and outside California. The paper discusses potential explanations and policy implications. Overall, the evidence suggests that today’s electric vehicles imply smaller environmental benefits than previously believed.

叶片数对超低比转速斜流式水轮机的影响

叶片数是影响超低比转速斜流式水轮机水力性能的因素之一。文章利用Fluent 16.0软件,研究分析了不同叶片数模型在不同流量工况下,外特性曲线以及内部流场分布图。结果表明:不同叶片数时,流量从最高效率点向小流量变化时效率下降的速度要比从最高效率点向大流量变化时的快。对于具体参数组合的超低比转速斜流式水轮机,存在最优的叶片数使得其水力性能最优。     

Binary effectivity rules

A social choice rule (SCR) is a collection of social choice correspondences, one for each agenda. An effectivity rule is a collection of effectivity functions, one for each agenda. We prove that every monotonic and superadditive effectivity rule is the effectivity rule of some SCR. A SCR is binary if it is rationalized by an acyclic binary relation. The foregoing result motivates our definition of a binary effectivity rule as the effectivity rule of some binary SCR. A binary SCR is regular if it satisfies unanimity, monotonicity, and independence of infeasible alternatives. A binary effectivity rule is regular if it is the effectivity rule of some regular binary SCR. We characterize completely the family of regular binary effectivity rules. Quite surprisingly, intrinsically defined von Neumann–Morgenstern solutions play an important role in this characterization.

植被排列方式及坡度对坡面流Fr影响的试验研究

为探究植被的排列方式及坡度大小对坡面流弗劳德数Fr的影响,以期揭示坡面流弗劳德数Fr的内在规律。利用人工模拟试验,系统研究了6个坡度、3种植物排列方向与水流方向呈不同走向角的条件下Fr与单位底面积的空间摩阻表面积K值的特征关系。表明在非淹没状态下,Fr与K值的关系为随K值的增大Fr呈现先减小后趋于平稳的趋势;Fr的取值随坡度的增大而增大;在一定的坡度范围内,同一坡度下,当Fr1时,同一K值下,走向角越大对应的Fr值越小,当Fr1时则相反;同一走向角下,在同一K值下,坡度越大对应的Fr就越大。得出在坡度一定的条件下,坡面植被的排列方式不同,弗劳德数Fr的取值也不相同;坡度是影响Fr取值范围的重要因素之一。     

不确定视角下改进TOPSIS法的工程评标模型研究

评标质量决定中标者与招标项目的契合程度,但受经验知识和主观判断等影响,定性指标的量化过程易带有主观模糊性,从而影响结果准确度。为减少模糊因素对评标结果的负作用,引入Z-number模糊数识别定性指标的不确定性,依据熵值原理客观确定评标指标及评标专家权重,TOPSIS法集成指标值,构建基于Z-number理论的改进TOPSIS法评标模型。结果表明,提议方法不仅能明晰度量定性指标值本身的模糊程度,还实现了指标值不确定性的针对化削减。同时,在有效避免主观赋权带来的不确定性基础上,该方法也克服了指标间的不可公度性。通过示例分析与敏感性分析验证了模型的实效性与稳定性。     

基于改进FV-LBM的多孔介质渗流模拟

提出了一种新的基于Brimman -Forchheimer方程的多孔介质流动格子Boltzmann法的有限体积形式（FV-LBM）。在该方法中,多孔介质效应通过将外力引入格子Boltzmann方程中,并通过以单元为中心的有限体积法求解,同时将权重的校正因子引入进来以提高数值计算的稳定性。用该方法验证了完全多孔Poiseuille流和Couette流,数值计算结果与理论解吻合较好。而且还用该方法模拟了具有均匀和非均匀孔隙度的裂隙-孔隙模型,结果表明：当达西数增加时,多孔层中的速度增加;而当裂隙区域的速度峰值减小时,速度轮廓接近抛物线。研究成果为多孔介质渗流模拟提供了有效途径。     

Temporal and spatial dynamics of surface run‐off from Lake Basaka catchment (Ethiopia) using SCS‐CN model coupled with remote sensing and GIS

The Lake Basaka catchment (Ethiopia) has undergone a significant land use–land cover (LULC) change and lake level rise over the past five decades. Significant quantities of water and sediment flow annually into the lake through erosion processes. An appropriate method of estimating the surface run‐off from such ungauged and dynamic catchment is extremely important for delineating sensitive areas (based on run‐off responses) to be protected and for development of suitable measures to reduce run‐off and associated soil loss. Reliable prediction of run‐off, however, is very difficult and time‐consuming for catchments such as that of Lake Basaka. The present study estimated the dynamics of surface (direct) run‐off using the NRCS‐CN model in ArcGIS, assisted by remote sensing and ancillary data. The results indicated the Lake Basaka catchment experienced significant temporal and spatial variability in its run‐off responses, depending on the rainfall (amount and distribution) pattern and LULC changes. A significant run‐off increase occurred after 1973, consistent with significant LULC changes and lake level increments occurring after that period. A reduced vegetation cover also resulted in increased run‐off coefficient of the lake catchment from 0.11 in the 1970s to 0.23 in the 2000s, indicating the important need to consider possible future LULC evolution when forecasting the lake catchment run‐off behaviour.
