Abstract: Considering the difficulty of equivalent modeling of low voltage ride-through(LVRT) characteristics of a wind farm, a neural ordinary differential equation(ODE)-based wind farm LVRT modeling methodis proposed. The input of the model is the voltage and wind speed of each wind turbine at the grid connection point of wind farm, and the output is the current at the grid connection point. The model can better characterize the strong nonlinear switching process and describe LVRT characteristics of wind farms under different wind speed scenarios. A simulation example of a wind farm including three doubly-fed induction generators(DFIGs) is established on …

Research On Iterative Calculation And Optimization Methods Of Aero-Engine On-Board Model, Xinghua Luo, Jia Geng, Ming Li, Bei Liu, Lei Wang, Zhiping Song

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Aeroengine is a complex and time-varying multivariable thermophysical system. The research on the convergence accuracy and rate of the component-level model is of great significance to the model-based engine health management, performance and fault-tolerant control. The existing engine component-level models are generally based on the traditional quasi-Newton method to solve the equilibrium equations simultaneously. Compared with the traditional Newton-Raphson method (N-R method), the convergence speed is optimized, but it is difficult to meet accuracy and real-time requirements of the dynamic model airborne applications within the full envelope. An adaptive variable step factor quasi-Newton method is proposed, which can reduce …

Research On Low Computational Predictive Control Strategy Of Three-Level Four-Arm Apf, Guifeng Wang, Jinxing Guo

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Four-arm active power filter(APF) is an ideal device to the power quality of three-phase four-wire distribution network. Owing to the sufficient number of base vectors, three-level four-arm APF has better current tracking performance, but the prediction calculation amount is too large when model predictive current control is applied. A model prediction voltage control strategy based on the idea of space stratification is proposed. Based on the deadbeat control idea and the discrete mathematical model in αβγ coordinate system, the expected reference voltage is predicted from the reference current, and the multiple current predictions are converted into the single voltage …

Computer Simulation Of The Light Absorption Band Of The Jumping Spider Isorhodopsin, Noah Zoldak

Honors Projects

In order to simulate the photoisomerization of the 9-cis Jumping Spider Isorhodopsin (JSiR-1) it is necessary to first simulate its light-absorption band. Here we report on the absorption band simulated using protein models constructed using the advanced Automatic Rhodopsin Modeling (a-ARM) program. A population of S0 models was created and the corresponding S0 to S1 transitions were determined for each member of the resulting population. The calculation resulted in a Gaussian plot showing that the wavelength of the absorption maximum of 560 nm (a violet color) that is consistent, but red-shifted, with respect the experimentally observed value.

Hydrogen Bonding In Small Model Peptides; The Dft And Mp2 Study, Gracie Smith, Martina Kaledin

Symposium of Student Scholars

Formamide is a small model compound for the study of the peptide bond. The peptide bond links amino acids together, specifies rigidity to the protein backbone, and includes the essential docking sites for hydrogen-bond-mediated protein folding and protein aggregation, namely, the C=O acceptor and the N-H donor parts. Therefore, the infrared C=O (amide-I) and N-H (amide-A) vibrations provide sensitive and widely used probes into the structure of peptides. This computational chemistry work, we study hydrogen bonds in formamide dimer isomers. We evaluate the accuracy of the density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory to the 2nd order (MP2) …


Detecting Selfish Mining Attacks Against A Blockchain Using Machine Learing, Matthew A. Peterson 2022 University of South Alabama

Detecting Selfish Mining Attacks Against A Blockchain Using Machine Learing, Matthew A. Peterson

Graduate Theses and Dissertations (2019 - present)

Selfish mining is an attack against a blockchain where miners hide newly discovered blocks instead of publishing them to the rest of the network. Selfish mining has been a potential issue for blockchains since it was first discovered by Eyal and Sirer. It can be used by malicious miners to earn a disproportionate share of the mining rewards or in conjunction with other attacks to steal money from network users. Several of these attacks were launched in 2018, 2019, and 2020 with the attackers stealing as much as $18 Million. Developers made several different attempts to fix this issue, but …


Probability Distributions Of The Scalar Potential, Candace Mathews 2022 University at Albany, State University of New York

Probability Distributions Of The Scalar Potential, Candace Mathews

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

In the study of cosmological inflation, string theory and supersymmetry have motivated a wide range of possible inflationary models. These models can be parameterized by a scalar potential V, which is a function of N scalar fields, and determines cosmological parameters such as the vacuum stability and energy density. In principle, we can determine V through high energy physics, such as string theory. In practice, though we may not know the details of V we might have clues about a distribution of plausible V’s, which we can build statistics on to further analyze. The purpose of this thesis defense is …


Turning Density Functional Theory Calculations Into Molecular Mechanics Simulations : Establishing The Fluctuating Density Model For Rna Nucleobases, Christopher A. Myers 2022 University at Albany, State University of New York

Turning Density Functional Theory Calculations Into Molecular Mechanics Simulations : Establishing The Fluctuating Density Model For Rna Nucleobases, Christopher A. Myers

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Molecular mechanics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) have been the backbone of computational chemistry for decades. Due to its accuracy and computational feasibility, DFT has become the go-to method for theoretically predicting interaction energies, polarizability, and other electronic properties of small molecules at the quantum mechanical level. Although less fundamental than DFT, molecular mechanics (MM) algorithms have been just as influential in the fields of biology and chemistry, owing their success to the ability to compute measurable, macroscopic quantities for systems with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of atoms at a time. Nevertheless, MD simulations would …


A Recommendation On How To Teach K-Means In Introductory Analytics Courses, Manoj THULASIDAS 2022 Singapore Management University

A Recommendation On How To Teach K-Means In Introductory Analytics Courses, Manoj Thulasidas

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We teach K-Means clustering in introductory data analytics courses because it is one of the simplest and most widely used unsupervised machine learning algorithms. However, one drawback of this algorithm is that it does not offer a clear method to determine the appropriate number of clusters; it does not have a built-in mechanism for K selection. What is usually taught as the solution for the K Selection problem is the so-called elbow method, where we look at the incremental changes in some quality metric (usually, the sum of squared errors, SSE), trying to find a sudden change. In addition to …


A Unified Dialogue User Simulator For Few-Shot Data Augmentation, Dazhen WAN, Zheng ZHANG, Qi ZHU, Lizi LIAO, Minlie HUANG 2022 Tsinghua University

A Unified Dialogue User Simulator For Few-Shot Data Augmentation, Dazhen Wan, Zheng Zhang, Qi Zhu, Lizi Liao, Minlie Huang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Pre-trained language models have shown superior performance in task-oriented dialogues. However, existing datasets are on limited scales, which cannot support large-scale pre-training. Fortunately, various data augmentation methods have been developed to augment largescale task-oriented dialogue corpora. However, they heavily rely on annotated data in the target domain, which require a tremendous amount of data collection and human labeling work. In this paper, we build a unified dialogue user simulation model by pre-training on several publicly available datasets. The model can then be tuned on a target domain with fewshot data. The experiments on a target dataset across multiple domains show …


Understanding Sentiment Through Context, Richard M.CROWLEY, M.H. Franco WONG 2022 Singapore Management University

Understanding Sentiment Through Context, Richard M.Crowley, M.H. Franco Wong

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

We examine whether empirical results using text-based sentiment of U.S. annual reports depend on the underlying context, within documents, from which sentiment is measured. We construct a clause-level measure of context, showing that sentiment is driven by many different contexts and that positive and negative sentiment are driven by different contexts. We then construct context-level sentiment measures and examine whether sentiment works as expected at the context-level across four prediction problems. Our results demonstrate that document-level sentiment exhibits significant noise in prediction and suggest that document-level aggregation of sentiment leads to missed empirical nuances. The contexts driving sentiment results vary …


Denoising And Deconvolving Sperm Whale Data In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico Using Fourier And Wavelet Techniques, Kendal McCain Leftwich 2022 University of New Orleans, New Orleans

Denoising And Deconvolving Sperm Whale Data In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico Using Fourier And Wavelet Techniques, Kendal Mccain Leftwich

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The use of underwater acoustics can be an important component in obtaining information from the oceans of the world. It is desirable (but difficult) to compile an acoustic catalog of sounds emitted by various underwater objects to complement optical catalogs. For example, the current visual catalog for whale tail flukes of large marine mammals (whales) can identify even individual whales from their individual fluke characteristics. However, since sperm whales, Physeter microcephalus, do not fluke up when they dive, they cannot be identified in this manner. A corresponding acoustic catalog for sperm whale clicks could be compiled to identify individual …


Conreader: Exploring Implicit Relations In Contracts For Contract Clause Extraction, Weiwen XU, Yang DENG, Wenqiang LEI, Wenlong ZHAO, Tat-Seng CHUA, Wai LAM 2022 Singapore Management University

Conreader: Exploring Implicit Relations In Contracts For Contract Clause Extraction, Weiwen Xu, Yang Deng, Wenqiang Lei, Wenlong Zhao, Tat-Seng Chua, Wai Lam

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We study automatic Contract Clause Extraction (CCE) by modeling implicit relations in legal contracts. Existing CCE methods mostly treat contracts as plain text, creating a substantial barrier to understanding contracts of high complexity. In this work, we first comprehensively analyze the complexity issues of contracts and distill out three implicit relations commonly found in contracts, namely, 1) Long-range Context Relation that captures the correlations of distant clauses; 2) Term-Definition Relation that captures the relation between important terms with their corresponding definitions; and 3) Similar Clause Relation that captures the similarities between clauses of the same type. Then we propose a …

Pacific: Towards Proactive Conversational Question Answering Over Tabular And Textual Data In Finance, Yang Deng, Wenqiang Lei, Wenxuan Zhang, Wai Lam, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

To facilitate conversational question answering (CQA) over hybrid contexts in finance, we present a new dataset, named PACIFIC. Compared with existing CQA datasets, PACIFIC exhibits three key features: (i) proactivity, (ii) numerical reasoning, and (iii) hybrid context of tables and text. A new task is defined accordingly to study Proactive Conversational Question Answering (PCQA), which combines clarification question generation and CQA. In addition, we propose a novel method, namely UniPCQA, to adapt a hybrid format of input and output content in PCQA into the Seq2Seq problem, including the reformulation of the numerical reasoning process as code generation. UniPCQA performs multi-task …
