A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation-Genetic Algorithm for Multi-objective Reservoir Ecological Dispatching

open access: yesWater Resources Management, 2022
Abstract Reservoir ecological dispatching is a complex system problem with multi-objective, multiple-criteria and multiple-phase. This study establishes a multi-objective ecological dispatching model in Changchun city of Yinma River Basin based on the water demand of social economic development, river ecology, and the constraint of reservoir ...

Anthropic arguments outside of cosmology and string theory [PDF]

open access: yesBelgrade Philosophical Annual, 2016
Anthropic reasoning has lately been strongly associated with the string theory landscape and some theories of particle cosmology, such as cosmological inflation. The association is not, contrary to multiple statements by physicists and philosophers alike,

Spatial Structure Supports Diversity in Prebiotic Autocatalytic Chemical Ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Autocatalysis is thought to have played an important role in the earliest stages of the origin of life. An autocatalytic cycle (AC) is a set of reactions that results in stoichiometric increase in its constituent chemicals. When the reactions of multiple interacting ACs are active in a region of space, they can have interactions analogous to those ...

Diversity of filter feeding and variations in cross-flow filtration of five ram-feeding fish species

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionFilter-feeding fish separate food particles from the surrounding water by cross-flow filtration in which a suspension flows parallel to a porous filter medium, thereby transporting particles along the surface.MethodsHere, we investigate cross-
