Interaction between harvesting intervention and birth perturbation in an age-structured model

An age-structured fish model with birth and harvesting pulses is established, where birth pulses are responsible for increasing the amount of fish due to the constant multiple placement of juveniles, and harvesting pulses describe the decrease of fish due to fishing activities. The principal eigenvalue as a threshold value depending on the harvesting and birth intensity is firstly investigated by three different ways. The asymptotic behavior of the population is fully investigated and sufficient conditions for the species to be extinct or persist are given. Numerical simulations suggest that interaction between negative harvesting intervention and positive birth perturbation decides extinction and persistence of the species. It is also shown that perturbation timing plays an important role.

On an age-structured model in moving boundaries: The effects of nonlocal diffusion and harvesting pulse

In order to understand how nonlocal diffusion and pulse intervention affect dynamics of species, we focus on an age-structured nonlocal diffusion model in moving and heterogeneous environment, where nonlocal diffusion describes the long range dispersal of species itself and time-periodic harvesting pulse exacting on the adult reflects human intervention. A generalized principal eigenvalue involving harvesting rate used to identify the spreading and vanishing outcomes is firstly defined and the existence of the principal eigenvalue is given under some conditions. Subsequently, properties of the generalized principal eigenvalue and the principal eigenvalue related to harvesting rate and length of habitat interval are analyzed, respectively. The criteria to governing spreading or vanishing of the species are finally investigated, with sufficient conditions for spreading-vanishing established. Our results indicate that complexities can be induced by the internal long rang dispersal and expanding capacities of species, as well as external harvesting intervention of human. Specifically, appropriate harvesting rate and expanding capacities can even change the reciprocal outcomes of species from co-existence to co-extinction.

Prediction of Vessel Arrival Time to Pilotage Area Using Multi-Data Fusion and Deep Learning

This paper investigates the prediction of vessels' arrival time to the pilotage area using multi-data fusion and deep learning approaches. Firstly, the vessel arrival contour is extracted based on Multivariate Kernel Density Estimation (MKDE) and clustering. Secondly, multiple data sources, including Automatic Identification System (AIS), pilotage booking information, and meteorological data, are fused before latent feature extraction. Thirdly, a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) framework that incorporates a residual mechanism is constructed to learn the hidden arrival patterns of the vessels. Extensive tests on two real-world data sets from Singapore have been conducted and the following promising results have been obtained: 1) fusion of pilotage booking information and meteorological data improves the prediction accuracy, with pilotage booking information having a more significant impact; 2) using discrete embedding for the meteorological data performs better than using continuous embedding; 3) the TCN outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline methods in regression tasks, exhibiting Mean Absolute Error (MAE) ranging from 4.58 min to 4.86 min; and 4) approximately 89.41% to 90.61% of the absolute prediction residuals fall within a time frame of 10 min.

On an age-structured juvenile-adult model with harvesting pulse in moving and heterogeneous environment

This paper concerns an age-structured juvenile-adult model with harvesting pulse and moving boundaries in a heterogeneous environment, in which the moving boundaries describe the natural expanding front of species and human periodic pulse intervention is carried on the adults. The principal eigenvalue is firstly defined and its properties involving the intensity of harvesting and length of habitat sizes are analysed. Then the criteria to determine whether the species spread or vanish is discussed, and some relevant sufficient conditions characterized by pulse are established. Our results reveal that the co-extinction or coexistence of species is influenced by internal expanding capacities from species itself and external harvesting pulse from human intervention, in which the intensity and timing of harvesting play key roles. The final numerical approximations indicate that the larger the harvesting rate and the shorter the harvesting period, the worse the survival of all individuals due to the cooperation among juveniles and adults, and such harvesting pulse can even alter the situation of species, from persistence to extinction. In addition, expanding capacities also affect or alter the outcomes of spreading-vanishing

Predicting Berth Stay for Tanker Terminals: A Systematic and Dynamic Approach

Given the trend of digitization and increasing number of maritime transport, prediction of vessel berth stay has been triggered for requirements of operation research and scheduling optimization problem in the era of maritime big data, which takes a significant part in port efficiency and maritime logistics enhancement. This study proposes a systematic and dynamic approach of predicting berth stay for tanker terminals. The approach covers three innovative aspects: 1) Data source employed is multi-faceted, including cargo operation data from tanker terminals, time-series data from automatic identification system (AIS), etc. 2) The process of berth stay is decomposed into multiple blocks according to data analysis and information extraction innovatively, and practical operation scenarios are also developed accordingly. 3) The predictive models of berth stay are developed on the basis of prior data analysis and information extraction under two methods, including regression and decomposed distribution. The models are evaluated under four dynamic scenarios with certain designated cargoes among two different terminals. The evaluation results show that the proposed approach can predict berth stay with the accuracy up to 98.81% validated by historical baselines, and also demonstrate the proposed approach has dynamic capability of predicting berth stay among the scenarios. The model may be potentially applied for short-term pilot-booking or scheduling optimizations within a reasonable time frame for advancement of port intelligence and logistics efficiency.

Constructing Trajectory and Predicting Estimated Time of Arrival for Long Distance Travelling Vessels: A Probability Density-based Scanning Approach

In this study, a probability density-based approach for constructing trajectories is proposed and validated through an typical use-case application: Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction given origin-destination pairs. The ETA prediction is based on physics and mathematical laws given by the extracted information of probability density-based trajectories constructed. The overall ETA prediction errors are about 0.106 days (i.e. 2.544 hours) on average with 0.549 days (i.e. 13.176 hours) standard deviation, and the proposed approach has an accuracy of 92.08% with 0.959 R-Squared value for overall trajectories between Singapore and Australia ports selected.

Optimizing Coordinative Schedules for Tanker Terminals: An Intelligent Large Spatial-Temporal Data-Driven Approach -- Part 1

In this study, a novel coordinative scheduling optimization approach is proposed to enhance port efficiency by reducing average wait time and turnaround time. The proposed approach consists of enhanced particle swarm optimization (ePSO) as kernel and augmented firefly algorithm (AFA) as global optimal search. Two paradigm methods of the proposed approach are investigated, which are batch method and rolling horizon method. The experimental results show that both paradigm methods of proposed approach can effectively enhance port efficiency. The average wait time could be significantly reduced by 86.0% - 95.5%, and the average turnaround time could eventually save 38.2% - 42.4% with respect to historical benchmarks. Moreover, the paradigm method of rolling horizon could reduce to 20 mins on running time over 3-month datasets, rather than 4 hrs on batch method at corresponding maximum performance.

Optimizing Coordinative Schedules for Tanker Terminals: An Intelligent Large Spatial-Temporal Data-Driven Approach -- Part 2

In this study, a novel coordinative scheduling optimization approach is proposed to enhance port efficiency by reducing weighted average turnaround time. The proposed approach is developed as a heuristic algorithm applied and investigated through different observation windows with weekly rolling horizon paradigm method. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is effective and promising on mitigating the turnaround time of vessels. The results demonstrate that largest potential savings of turnaround time (weighted average) are around 17 hours (28%) reduction on baseline of 1-week observation, 45 hours (37%) reduction on baseline of 2-week observation and 70 hours (40%) reduction on baseline of 3-week observation. Even though the experimental results are based on historical datasets, the results potentially present significant benefits if real-time applications were applied under a quadratic computational complexity.

A self-adaptive and robust fission clustering algorithm via heat diffusion and maximal turning angle

Cluster analysis, which focuses on the grouping and categorization of similar elements, is widely used in various fields of research. A novel and fast clustering algorithm, fission clustering algorithm, is proposed in recent year. In this article, we propose a robust fission clustering (RFC) algorithm and a self-adaptive noise identification method. The RFC and the self-adaptive noise identification method are combine to propose a self-adaptive robust fission clustering (SARFC) algorithm. Several frequently-used datasets were applied to test the performance of the proposed clustering approach and to compare the results with those of other algorithms. The comprehensive comparisons indicate that the proposed method has advantages over other common methods.

A software decoder implementation for H.266/VVC video coding standard

Versatile Video Coding Standard (H.266/VVC) was completed by Joint Video Expert Team (JVET) of ITU-T and ISO/IEC, in July 2020. This new ITU recommendation/international standard is a successor to the well-known H.265/HEVC video coding standard with roughly doubled compression efficiency, but also at the cost of an increased computational complexity. The complexity of H.266/VVC decoder processing modules is studied in this paper. An optimized decoder implementation using SIMD instruction extensions and additional parallel processing including data and task level parallelism is presented, which can achieve real-time decoding of 4K 60fps VVC bitstreams on an x86 based CPU.

The Cubic Szeg\h{o} Equation with a Linear Perturbation

We consider the following Hamiltonian equation on the $L^2$ Hardy space on the circle $S^1$ , $$i\partial\_ t u = Π(|u|^ 2 u) + α(u|1) , α\in\mathbb{R} ,$$ where $Π$ is the Szegő projector. The above equation with $α= 0$ was introduced by G{é}rard and Grellier as an important mathematical model [5, 7, 3]. In this paper, we continue our studies started in [22], and prove our system is completely integrable in the Liouville sense. We study the motion of the singular values of the related Hankel operators and find a necessary condition of norm explosion. As a consequence, we prove that the trajectories of the solutions will stay in a compact subset, while more initial data will lead to norm explosion in the case $α>0$.

Unbounded Sobolev trajectories and modified scattering theory for a wave guide nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the following wave guide nonlinear Schrödinger equation, \begin{equation} (i\partial \_t+\partial \_{xx}-\vert D\_y\vert )U=\vert U\vert ^2U\ \tag{WS} \end{equation} on the spatial cylinder $\mathbb{R} \_x\times \mathbb{T} \_y$. We establish a modified scattering theory between small solutions to this equation and small solutions to the cubic Szegő equation. The proof is an adaptation of the method of Hani--Pausader--Tzvetkov--Visciglia. Combining this scattering theory with a recent result by Gérard--Grellier, we infer existence of global solutions to (WS) which are unbounded in the space $L^2\_xH^s\_y(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T} )$ for every $s\textgreater{}\frac 12$.

Large time blow up for a perturbation of the cubic Szegő equation

We consider the following Hamiltonian equation on a special manifold of rational functions, \[i\p\_tu=Π(|u|^2u)+\al (u|1),\ \al\in\R,\] where $Π$ denotes the Szegő projector on the Hardy space of the circle $\SS^1$. The equation with $\al=0$ was first introduced by G{é}rard and Grellier in \cite{GG1} as a toy model for totally non dispersive evolution equations. We establish the following properties for this equation. For $\al\textless{}0$, any compact subset of initial data leads to a relatively compact subset of trajectories. For $\al\textgreater{}0$, there exist trajectories on which high Sobolev norms exponentially grow with time.
